Kaepernick to start on Sunday
thebandit27 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No offense intended here: you need to watch the All-22's if you think that. Just one example--watch him blanket the slippery Tavon Austin from the slot, and sustain his coverage for 7 full seconds: https://twitter.com/cover1eturner/status/785826015834550272 Keep in mind that Austin is a WR that runs a 4.34 sec 40, and had a 4.01 second 20-yard shuttle (the latter is better than all but 14 other receivers since 2010). He's very, very good. Call him inconsistent or pick on his ball awareness if you're so inclined, but to say he's overrated is simple folly IMO. -

3-2 but Tyrod has had 4 bad games this season
thebandit27 replied to Yeezus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For context, the Bills rank 20th in the NFL with 19.2 offensive points per game. The teams ranking behind them are: Chicago Cincinnati Tennessee NY Giants NY Jets Miami Baltimore KC Cleveland Tampa Bay Houston LA -
Kaepernick to start on Sunday
thebandit27 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, we have film of Michael Vick in Chip Kelly's offense--and it was ugly. Honestly, how many wrinkles can they throw at us that our coaching staff doesn't see all the time when thinking about how to maximize Tyrod's abilities? Rush wide, play zone coverage, and keep a spy in the short zones. -

Kaepernick to start on Sunday
thebandit27 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's going to get booed; he plays for the other team. And by the way, just as he's free to kneel during the national anthem, fans are free to boo him for believing that he's misguided by doing so. If you want to discuss the finer points of the topic, head on over to PPP; there's a massive thread there. -

Jerry Hughes deserves a sack

They'll adjust it. Often times these things don't get added until later in the week. -

thebandit27 replied to TPS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I didn't say I heard it from him directly; I said it was either a direct quote from him or an analyst quoting him. I didn't have time to Google around; relax. EDIT: Here's the quote... http://nep.247sports.com/Bolt/Damien-Woody-recalls-what-its-like-to-play-under-Bill-Belichick-45627062 Coach Belichick would always say, ‘More teams lose games than they do win games, and if we can prevent ourselves from losing, we’ll be successful.’” -

I thought that particular athlete was born a hermaphrodite? -

Don't have a link; heard it either from him or from someone quoting him. It's totally true too -

As Belichick says: 90 percent of games in the NFL are lost, not won. The Rams lost. We didn't. 3-2; on to SF. -

Rams First Half Game Thread
thebandit27 replied to TakeYouToTasker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. And can you believe that they had the audacity to make the FG at the end? -
Well, if it were the last bastion, wouldn't that have been the only point I made? You don't seem to understand the irony of saying that someone lives in their mom's basement when you can't even write a cogent sentence Also, I don't think that stuttering one's way through a half-baked "he sucks!!1!!" rant qualifies as "destroying" someone's argument, but hey, that's just me. No worries though; from the get go I figured that there wouldn't be any reasoned discussion.

Cute little comment at the end there--stick to whatever it is that you do during the day; guessing strangers' lifestyles is CLEARLY not your strength Quick lesson in how contracts work: you get paid based on performance (past and future expectations). He made two pro bowls and got paid like the premium talent he is. His suspension this season is a blemish. It's hardly the story of his career as you seem to want to label it.

Woman pro hockey player comes out transgender
thebandit27 replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall Archives
At some point, either the IOC or some other sports organization is bound to get sued over the issue of transgender athletes. Some biological male will say he's trans and want to compete against biological females. The organization in question will tell the athlete that they cannot, citing biological advantages. A lawsuit will ensue, and the Court Supreme will end up having to make a call on the issue. -
Would just like to point out...

First, I'm not trying to argue anything; I'm offering context. You might consider that finishing 22nd in receiving yards despite being 36th in targets is significant. Compare it to a guy like Jarvis Landry, for instance--who finished 13th in yards despite being 4th in targets--and it tells a story. With regard to catch rate, they also didn't get around to mentioning Odell Beckham, DeAndre Hopkins, Demaryuis Thomas, Allen Robinson, Calvin Johnson, Mike Evans, Emmanuel Sanders, or a dozen other guys whose catch rates were lower than Sammy's. I'm sure you'd agree that there are at least 2 or 3 elite names I've mentioned here with lower YPT and catch rates than Sammy. Again: the purpose here is context, not to overly laud or marginalize anyone's numbers. So we're left to wonder what the difference is between the first 7 games (of which he missed 3 entire games and the majority of 2 others) and the final 9 games, right? I'll answer that for you: the difference is targets. He averaged over 7 targets per game for the final 9 games of the season; he averaged fewer than 5 for the first 7. The issue here is opportunity; number of targets. We can discuss the reason(s) for that, but I think the majority of us would agree that it comes down to 3 things: availability, run/pass ratio, and a limited QB. I'm open to hearing arguments that bring up other issues; I just haven't been presented one that is supported by facts up to this point. -
2017 NFL Mock Drafts & Top Prospects
thebandit27 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in College Football
Mahomes is clearly the most talented IMO. He's got the same questions coming out that most of the "new breed" college QBs have: Can he go through a progression? Can he be consistent on the mid-range throws? Can he develop pocket presence? He's done a nice job of re-pointing his release this season, which Blokes pointed out probably has a lot to do with him quitting baseball to focus on football. I haven't done any deep dives on the QBs yet (probably won't until December), but he's been the guy that's most interesting to me going back to about a year ago...of course, who knows how well that'll hold up once we really get into the process. -

Here are some breakdowns that actually compare WRs based on context and not raw numbers: http://fantasyguru.com/football/subscribers/articles/2015wrcatchypt.php http://www.footballperspective.com/guest-post-adam-harstad-on-sammy-watkins/ http://nysportsbiz.com/2016/01/04/sammy-watkins-arguably-nfls-top-wr-2nd-half-season/ http://www.thebackyardbanter.com/reception-perception-only-one-concern-can-hold-sammy-watkins-back-from-his-ceiling.html It's also important to consider that (a) the Bills throw the ball less than pretty much every other team, and (b) Watkins' target percentage is significantly lower than the other #1 WRs in the NFL: http://www.nfl.com/fantasyfootball/story/0ap3000000693785/article/wide-receiver-target-distribution-for-all-32-teams It's an issue of opportunities, not an issue of productivity. Some of that is due to injuries, and some is due to a system that calls for very few pass plays, and a QB that is limited in what he can do. -
Should the Bills move on from Dareus?
thebandit27 replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
From a cap perspective, this isn't an option. From a player personnel perspective, I believe this team needs more premier talents, not fewer.
