Help Us Help You, Buffalo Rumblings Readers

I know since Bruce returned to coach the unit after April left he got some flack but this year they seem to be playing pretty excellently in coverage while Moorman is booting it like he is 3 years younger. I’d be interested in a Rumblings assessment at the bye break.

For the love of all that is good…get rid of the red buffalo. He looks ridiculous. The time for change is now. How about a logo contest for our fair blog?

I’d personally I’d like to see each week a breakdown of the D-line, or the secondary, or the Wide Receivers etc….

i realize this is quite a bit to breakdown each week though…

This is probably a more sbnation as a whole issue, but I figure I’d throw it out there anyways (maybe you, Brian, can put this suggestion in the proper inbox at sbnation).
I love how easy it is to keep up with threads on the full internet site, but I do most of my rumbling on the mobile site on my droid. It is very difficult to detect which comments are new or unread when I go back to a thread on the mobile site. There are no colors depicting which are new and old, and unless I remember where I left off, it is difficult to join back in on the conversation scrolling endlessly trying to tell what’s new…..so, is there any way to get some colors on the mobile app around the unread comments?

you could do much better w/the coverage.

I can say entering the site thru the dashboard is much more efficient and I still cant create the little box to encompass quotes.

is epic.

that is all.

I think this would be really helpful. I can’t count the number of times people ask how to “rec” a posting, or how to add links and quote text from other bloggers. I wonder how many folks know that by clicking on their name at the top of the main page they can not only see a summary of their posts and how many responses, but by clicking “comment” they are taken right to the article and responses to their specific comments so they can respond to the replies?

Was this series ever finished? Love reading about bills history and past players.

Is there a way that I can get more time in the day to keep up with it all? LOL
Seriously, you guys are doing a great job, and since I don’t have the means to keep up via mobile access, my only problem is finding time to log on to keep up.

for you to somehow urge aaron schobel to come out of retirement and win a superbowl next year with the bills and plant a dead hooker in aaron maybins camper parked in the meadowlands parking lot

Nix and Chan approval polls done on separate days. They always go up when I am at work and just as I get caught up with the first one the second goes up and with it goes all the dialogue of the first one. If you aren’t available when the first poll goes up you never really get a chance to get your say while the comments are still active.

I would change the recommended fanpost section. I hate seeing posts still lingering about teams we played two weeks ago. It doesn’t make sense to have them up there for so long, especially since we can’t comment on them after a few days. I do like how it takes quite a few recs to get up there. There is rarely a recommended fanpost that isn’t very interesting.

Awhile back one of the Rumblers posted an excellent blog on defensive formations and explained the difference between Sam, Mike, and Will linebackers. Also explained weak and strong side backers. Having a permanent section for this would greatly enhance dialogue on this site. Imagine a single source for Offense, Defense, and Special teams. How many folks know what is a gunner, up back, flanker, wedge buster, or split end?

I can’t just go up and down this site with it. They seem to want to only feed me a few articles off BR, and then throw me anything else on the other SB Nation blogs that mentions the Bills. I’m so frustrated with it, I’ve gone back to using Safari and looking at the site through that (when I’m not at home).

SB Nation needs to give us more control over what we want to look at in the iPhone app. Thank you.

If we could edit / delete a comment, or add spell check. At the very least underline words that are mispelled so we can check them out.

Also, the ability to sort posts, oldest to youngest?

Memory’s foggy, but over the summer Brian didn’t you break down some Bills’ offensive and defensive sets by linking to videos (or maybe a series of stills)? I miss the in-depth break downs. Watching on tv, the camera always follows the ball so it’s difficult to see what WRs are doing down the field, what the O-line is doing etc etc . . . in lieu of access to game film, I crave something to help me go deeper.

what players played more snaps, on offense and on defense. Brian make an excellent job with those breakdown, but after week 3 i think, i don’t see more of that.

I notice that teams who use tight ends frequently tend to spread the field more which opens up the offense. Last couple weeks, Buffalo seems to have gotten away from it. Any chance of dissecting scoring drives when TE’s have been featured in the drive and when they have not? Just want to see if there is a strong correlation to using the TE to moving the ball or if it is just me.

Brian,
When you open the Sunday thread, could you please just cut and paste a sentence every week that says, “You can listen to the game live on 97 Rock and ……” Every week it seems that at least a few of the newer readers from out of state (or out of country) ask for it.

shut down the blog, it’s getting in the way of my studies! lol

…other than that, this site is too amazing to have any complaints about.

Great job, all around guys. Brian should be proud of having the best sports blog in existence.

As a new Bills fan I have felt welcome here and thank the mods and all the other fans here.
I would like to see a comprehensive look at the up and coming players and what our future looks like
I would also like to have a discussion about Buffalo itself,Maybe a fanpost about the things to do in Buffalo and the best places to eat and stay for visitors
I plan on making a trip up there to see a game and any info would be nice

Last year we had a really nice feature about college players to watch for on Saturdays. Guys to keep an eye on for the Bills to possibly draft.

Last year was a bit easier because we knew the Bills would be a top 5 draft pick. But I think if maybe the blog could throw out 5 names to watch at each position would be a nice addition. Or something similar to last years articles.

Brian, I know you chimed in recently that there’s an outlet to do so, but interacting with the board here seems more rewarding.

It’d be fun to see how all the BR leagues are doing too.

One other thing: Could you please refrain from posting any new content until after the work day ends? =)

What about telling us once and for all who Geronimo is, or was to the organization. Or have you been sworn to secrecy?

As far as SBnation – which really isn’t here – but on Mobile why don’t they make accessing other teams blogs easy? you have to go to the full site and get away from the mobile site – annoying!

again though – I think the more technical breakdown’s the better. t hat way the “essential BR” would get more usage. that page is stagnant

when do we get to read progress reports on players’ performance for this season?
