Jets game plan: let Bills beat themselves
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to BILLS02138's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not saying this isn't true, but how do you know? Local sports chatter, articles? -
I agree that the Bulls haven't beat any quality teams yet either. That's why I consider this game so important: two middle of the road teams who are fighting for second in the division where middle of the road can get you to the playoffs. To me, the question is whether A) With Mangold likely out, can the D-line get the push to shut down the Jets run game and force Fitz to make the kind of throws we cringed at and B) can the Bills receivers do anything with Revis on Sammy and Clay likely double covered.

Rich Cimini: Their (R)ex is coming to town
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, Crimini has been trolling Rex pretty hard ever since he took the job with the Bills. -
Tyrod Taylor stats
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's tough because I see both sides on this. On one hand pedigree does matter and creates expectations. Mariota, Winston and Johnny Football would kill for a stat line like Taylor's. That said, I'm willing to wait for a larger sample size, precisely because of the backslide we've seen out of the young guns. RGIII, the second overall pick, was benched for Cousins. Kaepernick was benched for Blaine Gabbert. Cam has had a statistically unimpressive season. Wilson and Luck are having down years without O-line protection. These were the young guns who were supposed to take the league by storm. I want to see until the end of the year. After that, make the call. -
Do the Bills still go QB in round 1?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So far, no. But I don't think it's a bad idea to do what the Eagles have done with taking a second round pick to be the backup in case of injury. Kolb and Foles were both picked up this way as backups to mobile QBs and both made for ok stopgap starters before getting flipped on trades. -
They were awful in the first half against the Eagles too. I'll say what I've been saying all year: the Jets are a middle of the road team who have beaten up on bad opponents and mediocre opponents at good times. Every time they've encountered a half decent team they've lost or won a sqeaker. I'm not saying this is a gimme. Our defense has not been playing great, and we're going to have to find ways to move the ball against a great front 7 and Revis. But other than that, their secondary is still weak. We, more than anyone, know the weaknesses of the Fitz-Chan style: jam players at the line. Darby and Gilmore should win their matchups against Marshall and Decker 1 on 1, so stack the box, swarm within 15 yards and try to make Fitz throw deep to beat you.

Tyrod Taylor stats
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, yes. So Taylor had ridiculous yards per attempt passing today. Yes, the entire philosophy of the offense was always designed and based off of a strong run game. Yes, he only missed one pass. But i, with my super fan vision see every pass he should have made if only I was QB. What a bum. [/sarcasm] Seriously though, while good offensive game planning shouldn't over rely on his arm Taylor has been excellent statistically. -
Bills v fins first half game thread
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, at least one penalty bounced our way. -
Trouble with Colin Kaepernick?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know of Taylor is a top 6 QB. But in small sample size, I started to go around the league and tried to think of starters I'd take over him right now, based on how they've played this year, and likely will in the next few years factoring who i expect to retire and I got... Brady Dalton Big Ben Luck Romo Wilson Cam is having the kind of season we wanted: numbers worse in almost every way from Kaepernick, bolstered with a stingy D and a strong run game. ATM, what needs to get fixed is the D, and the run game. -
Steelers release Dri Archer

I guess he couldn't get out of the *sings* DANGER ZONE! -
Bills have 2nd Toughest Remaining Schedule
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to IronyAbounds's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We're joking, right? We have NE, but Miami coming off a bye, the Jets on a short week possibly before their QB situation is at full health. We play Houston and KC, who are scraping the bottom of a low AFC. We play Dallas at home in winter. Philly and Washington both have losing records. I was hearing how easy the schedule was looking and that we should resist penciling in wins. This is what you get when you kill Grantland ESPN. -
Trouble with Colin Kaepernick?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
TBQH, I'm not crazy about Kaep right now, and his contract would be precious salary cap space we have at a premium. And there is potential bad blood between he and Roman, considering how many people blamed him for their season last year. Plus, Tyrod has been playing well and a trade would be for a backup QB. I'll say this: I'd be looking at the Eagles. They are in win now mode, and if they tank or even go 8-8 there are people calling for Kelly to be fired. Bradford is on a one year deal that he definitely has not lived up too, and will enter an open bidding war. The Eagles have a need, have the cap space and seem to think they are one player away. -
It begins.....Vernon Davis to Broncos
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, it turns out VD is catching again. We should be on the lookout for a breakout performance. -
It begins.....Vernon Davis to Broncos
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Excellent pickup by the Broncos. They could use a reliable target for Manning who can get more YAC. -
Trouble with Colin Kaepernick?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've been hearing rumblings in Philly that they might want him. The Chip bots think that if they can get a running QB, they could get the perfect mix for Chip's system and there is no way Bradford has played up to his $13M contract. -
The Jets were always looking beatable if you watched them play. They just had the absurd luck to face the Colts one week after we hurt luck and gave them the blueprint and played cupcake teams to get 4 wins. Every time they've played a half decent team (Eagles and Raiders) they found their teeth kicked in during the first half.

Cameron Wake Achilles
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to billsfan_34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I try not to root for injuries, especially as snake bitten as we are right now. But I'm glad Wake is not lining up versus us next week. -
Tyrod's first 5 games
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to BuffaloHokie13's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Look, I liked the EJ pick. I think that, maybe if handled differently EJ would be his draft's version of Bortles, who is still absolutely working out the kinks but has shown steady improvement. But I can't think of a better microcosm of EJ's career than the Jaguars game. You see flashes of greatness, beautiful throws, and when he's on, he's on. Whenever he isn't, you see what you saw where you handed 20 points off turnovers in three straight series. Tyrod, admittedly working on a small sample size, rarely makes the Big Mistake. He isn't always perfect, and seems to play injured plenty, but he typically makes smart decisions as a passer, even if his accuracy can be off at times. He has 8 YPA, and has a better than 2:1 touchdown to interception ratio. He is undeniably playing the best of any QB on our roster right now.
