The Bills' method of losing is unsustainable
Dr. K replied to Captain Caveman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is an extremely rational reaction. It doesn't mean the Bills won't stink this season, but it offers more reason to watch them than the (understandable) knee-jerk pessimism that seems to prevail right now. -
Because in the first game I ever attended Bills cornerback Haygood Clark intercepted George Blanda's pass with 27 seconds left in the game and ran it back 66 yards for the winning TD on a beautiful, sunny September day, the day after my birthday, at the Rockpile, in 1966.

Should the Bills Cut Dareus? - Jerry Sullivan Article
Dr. K replied to MClem06's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jerry Sullivan is a jerk. He has always been a jerk and always will be one. Occasionally, like a broken clock, he is right about something, but this is not one of those times. And even when he is right he is still a jerk. -
Report: Bills attempted to trade up for Carlos Hyde
Dr. K replied to johnwalter's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Typing in ALL CAPS does not make something more true. Spiller made same bad plays, but the play calling for him was Stone Age. Hackett did little to get Spiller out in space, and ran him between the tackles as if he were Marshawn Lynch. Hackett did not impress in his first year as OC. IMHO, if the Bills lose Spiller he will be a superstar under some other, smarter, coach. -
FWIW Bill Polian wasn't too keen on part of our draft.

SD will beat Denver today. Denver will fold when it counts like a cheap tent. My main reason for believing this is that it will give the Pats a home game against the Chargers for the AFC championship. Pats will obliterate the overmatched Chargers in Foxboro. If the Pats have to play Denver in Denver, then it's possible Denver could win because of the memory of what happened to them last year, but I don't see the Broncos stopping LaGarette Blount. My only hope is that the NFC team can beat the Pats in the Bowl. But I would not count on that either. The way the Pats have become a running team behind this come-out-of-nowhere Blount is too depressing for words. If someone manages to keep it close, then Brady will carve them up. The Pats don't have the best personnel in the league, but they have the psych out on everyone. A team like the Colts or even the Bills can hang in there until the fourth quarter against them, but will invariably fall apart in crunch time. The Pats just do not beat themselves, and I have to respect that, even though I &%#@&* hate them.

Personnel Decisions Looming for Bills in 2015
Dr. K replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the current regime has done a terrible job in using Spiller's talents. I would not be surprised if they let him go after his contract ends, and he will end up on a team whose OC will not keep bockheadedly running him between the tackles. Even with his injuries this season, and the braindead play calling, he had decent production. He has a good attitude and is a good citizen--no Marshawn Lynch. I expect him to star for another team. All you who want to dump him, be careful what you wish for. This is a classic Bills scenario. -
...to my near infinite disgust. I do not trust the Broncos to beat the Chargers. The Pats will beat the Colts, who do not have another miracle game in them. So the Pats get the AFC championship game at home against San Diego, the last team to qualify for the playoffs, possessors of one of the worst defenses in the league. I'd like to think the Chargers could beat them, but that's a pipe dream. Everything is falling right for the Patsies, as usual.

Hate to say it..... (QB situation)
Dr. K replied to IslandBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No, you don't hate to say it. You love saying it. -
What is your EJ Manuel Confidence Level?
Dr. K replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Me too, if he can keep from being injured every other month. +1 -
Tony Moeki (spelling?)
-
This is not true. He lofts some passes--as with the long one to Goodwin that he should have caught--it dropped perfectly into his hands, but Goodwin got destroyed by the safety and muffed it. But other passes, like the 28-yarder to Chandler down the middle (I believe on the same drive), or several of the middle-of-the field passes to Woods, he throws it much more on a line. Go back and look at the tape if you don't believe me.
-
Despite his bad games, I see lots of potential and some accomplishment already in EJ. I won't say that he's guaranteed to be a franchise-level QB, but I think he's go much more upside than Losman, Edwards, and Fitzpatrick. I just don't understand those people who say he can't throw. And I think there was a lot more going wrong to make the Bills lose badly against Tampa Bay than EJ's admittedly poor play. This board gets hysterical after losses. I guess fourteen years out of the playoffs will do that, but I suggest those of you screaming to draft another QB in round 1 step back from the cliff.

Jerry Hughes and Mario Williams chasing history
Dr. K replied to SBUffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In the KC game the defense allowed only 9 points, and three of those came after the Bills turned over the ball in their own end of the field. The only two touchdowns scored by KC were from interception and fumble returns. They shut down the KC running game, and most of their passing game. That was probably one of the defense's best games of the season, wasted. -
For once the ref gods favored us over Patriots
Dr. K replied to Webster Guy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cry me a freakin' river, Tommy boy. Makes up for the blatant hold that wasn't called on Brady's touchdown pass to beat the Saints. -
I watched most of the game against the Saints. Geno had "good game" only to the extent that he didn' turn the ball over. The Jets won that game on defense and their running game. They desperately kept the game from resting in Geno's hands. They ran wildcat plays with Cribbs; they limited Geno's throws to an absolute minimum, and still he went only 8 for 19 for 115 yards and a QB rating of 62.4. If not for the D and New Orleans turnovers the Jets lose that one. Geno is making Sanchez look good.
-
Exactly. Spiller could be tearing up the league in the right offensive sets. Chan knew how to play to his strengths, but Hackett seems constitutionally incapable of adjusting his offensive play calling to Spiller's abilities. I suspect they avoid the spread in order to give EJ more protection and time to throw. But it's at the cost of Spiller's production as a running back and receiver.

Every single ESPN expert is picking PIT
Dr. K replied to KikO M G's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This. Whenever I hear people saying the Bills are going to win six straight, I think, "How about them winning one straight?" -
Ya'll may think I'm crazy but I love this team, warts and all
Dr. K replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My feelings also. Well put. -
This is over the top. ...he will have more turnovers than completed passes? ...the Chiefs will score more points than he will have receiving (I assume you mean passing) yards? If he starts, I will bet you twenty bucks you are wrong on both of these counts. This is a sane way to look at it, sans hysteria. Thanks.

Realistic expectations for Tuel on Sunday?
Dr. K replied to KikO M G's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On game rewind I just watched every throw Tuel made in the Cleveland game. Yes, he was bad. He was rushed and off target a lot. But he made a number of accurate throws, in particular one long one to Woods that was broken up by the coverage. He threw a screen to Freddie that took the Cleveland rush (which was all out) by surprise and gained a dozen yards or so. He also seemed to be mobile in the pocket and aware of the rush. This doesn't tell me he's going to have a great game, but with a week of preparation with the first string, and some adjustment of the game plan (screen passes, please) to counter a stacked box and heavy rush, I think he can play well enough for the Bills to win. I also think that Marone and Hackett want to win this game (duh) and therefore would not play him if they he did not present the best chance for them to do so. I expect he will play much better than he did being thrown into the Cleveland game with no prep. -
I think the hysterical running down of Tuel has now gone way farther than the delirious puffing up a lot of people were doing during pre-season. He's probably somewhere between our hopes and our fears. I'm not saying he'll play as well as Manuel or Lewis, but I would not be surprised if he can manage the game and make a few throws. To listen to most of the posters here, if he's able to walk onto the field without tripping over his own feet, it will be a surprise. Check with me about 4 pm on Sunday for a possible modification of this opinion.

Saints just too good at home for this version of the Bills...

NFL Draft History By Team: Every Player Ranked
Dr. K replied to Fanatic24's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes. Anderson missed EVERY FIELD GOAL he attempted for the Bills that pre-season. He had been vocal about his unhappiness being drafted by the Bills. It always cheeses me off whenever the Bills get criticized for cutting him. In 1998 he had the only perfect regular season by a kicker in the history of the NFL. He made 46 field goals in a row and did not miss one that entire season. The Vikings went 15-1 and were a shoe-in for the Super Bowl. It gave and still gives me huge satisfaction when his missed field goal against the Falcons in the playoffs, his first and only miss that year, cost the Vikings the game and a trip to the Super Bowl.
