what OTHER games (non Bills) are you going to?
Albany,n.y. replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I haven't decided whether I'm going to California for Thanksgiving, but if I do the Vikings are at the 49ers on 11/28. -
Wildgoose-self proclaimed future HOFer.

Actually, one of my points was that even after Jackson played in some regular season games with tape on him for the rest of the NFL to see nobody tried to steal him & just as important, the Bills never sensed that there was a threat to steal him & never gave him a 53 man roster contract to make sure nobody stole him.

Here's my concern about Dane Jackson's future. Before the start of the 2020 season he was waived before he got to the practice squad. Then even after some starts the Bills never signed him off the practice squad and no other team tried to steal him. This was after there was tape on him in real NFL games. While there are plenty of players who have made it after being stashed on a practice squad, the fact that no other team ever made an attempt to steal him during the season is a bit of a concern to me. Personally I'd rather see self proclaimed future Hall of Famer Rachad Wildgoose win the starting job as a rookie on the way to Canton.

If Stafford goes down we can trade Jake Fromm to the Rams for Jalen Ramsey. If you're going to dream a pipe dream, go big or go home.

The 1st thing I thought of reading the OP was a coach is only as good as his QB. The whole Bills organization did a great job in 2018 in evaluating the QB class & then making bold enough moves to move from 21 to 7 to get Allen. Imagine if Buddy Nix was still here and didn't want to move way up. What might have happened was Arizona, who wanted Allen, would have moved/stayed ahead of us for Josh Allen & Nix would have been happy that Josh Rosen fell into his lap. Then no matter who the coach was, within 2 years the Bills would, as WGR used to announce every 2 years, be on another "Coach Search".

Urban just can’t quit Tebow! (Update - Cut by Jags)
Albany,n.y. replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not extremely different to the time the Bills brought a failed 36 year old QB back into the NFL for another try. Now the player had been great in the CFL during his 8 seasons away from the NFL but he was not changing positions & was not playing football again for the 1st time in years, but it worked out. You never know. -

NFL coaches bring their favorite old players in all the time. The difference here is the coach has never been in the NFL before, so he brought in a player who is a hard worker, will do anything the coach asks & is among the coach's favorite former players. The Bills have a history of doing this as well. Think of all the ex-Panthers McDermott has brought in. For us older guys think back to the late 70s & early 80s when Chuck Knox brought a bunch of ex-Rams to Orchard Park. -
I don't see any way Stidham makes the team. Belichick had a chance to audition him in a meaningless season finale vs the Jets & chose to keep him on the sidelines. That and the 3.3 QBR in mop-up duty vs the Bills the week before was the writing on the wall. After getting trounced by the Bills, Belichick chose to play the QB who gave him the best chance to beat the lowly Jets and it's pretty obvious he had no faith in Stidham to take a chance against the 2nd worst team in the league. I don't even know if he'll even make it to preseason before he is cut.

Just over halfway there... (Counting the days)
Albany,n.y. replied to Captain Caveman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I can handle it as long as they honor all tickets for the opener. If they pull a 50% capacity and refund my money I'm not going to be happy. -
Is the author from Texas? Prescott way too high, especially coming off an injury season. Watson above Josh? Look at the W-L records last year. It's easier to pad stats on a losing team playing meaningless games without helping your team while making yourself look good on paper-and that's not even taking into account that at best he may have to serve a significant suspension and at worst he'll be watching games from a prison cell.

Dan Campbell wants a live Lion at Detroit pratices.
Albany,n.y. replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Campbell in camp "You guys better start playing better or I'll feed you to the lion" When you get cut by the Lions you really get cut by the lions. -
When everyone except the league office is calling something the Super Bowl, it's the Super Bowl from day 1. They were selling souvenirs with Super Bowl on them, fans in the stands were making banners referring to the game as the Super Bowl during the AFL championship game in the Rockpile, players and coaches were saying they are looking forward to playing in the Super Bowl, reporters like Heywood Hale Broun were saying during the pregame "This is Heywood Hale Broun at the Super Bowl" . I don't have to go to and quote some reference page to know that the game was called the Super Bowl by everyone but the league office, I was seeing it all in 1967 when it actually was happening. Most of the people who go along with the story that it wasn't the Super Bowl are either too young to know by experience or too old to remember.

Anyone who still believes the myth that it wasn't called the Super Bowl needs to go to the 22:40 point of the video, where you'll see a man in the stands wearing a hat that says Super Bowl. At 36:58 at the bottom of the screen during the halftime show they spell out in block letters Super Bowl. Myths die hard-a while ago I posted the front page of the Courier Express the day after the AFL championship game before the 1st Super Bowl & at one point it said Kansas City "gains Super Bowl". Somebody accused me of posting a photoshopped picture.

Does Gregory Rousseau need "redshirt" year?
Albany,n.y. replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Trapasso had our 1st rounder as a 4th rounder on his board, he needs to stop drawing up a draft board. Years ago I used to draw up my own draft board. After I "drafted" JP Losman with pick 13 in 2004 and had Tom Brady on what I called "The Bust Board" in 2000, I reaiized it was time for me to just stop making a draft board. It's getting time for Trapasso to come to the same concluson. Here's something I found from Trapasso from 2018: Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso Because QB prospects are apparently the talk of today. A reminder of my current rankings: Mason Rudolph [small space] Lamar Jackson [one prospect] Josh Rosen [small space] Sam Darnold [sizable space] Baker Mayfield [two rounds] Josh Allen 2:33 PM · Feb 19, 2018·Twitter for iPhone -
Another preseason game against Detroit. We better not get any kneecaps bitten off.

I'm glad it's not Bills @ Tampa. Last season was the 1st time in 36 years I didn't attend at least 1 Bills game & I'm starved for live football. I'd rather be able to go to the season & home opener at the stadium than watch a road game on TV.

The only time Marino was on an AFC champion was when Kelly was in the USFL. Once Kelly joined the Bills, Marino never got to another Super Bowl. Every time Dan Marino came close to the Super Bowl door, Kelly slammed it in his face.
