Random talking head says something about the Bills
mabden replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
As far as that goes, the Ravens have been worse in the playoffs with Lamar. -
This was destined the minute vrabal was fired by Tennessee.

I watched the entire game without once thinking, 'where's taylor?' It was a pleasure watching the game without the camera panning over to see swifts reaction on any play.

I found out that Buffalo had a football team when they drafted OJ Simpson. I started following then on my transistor radio during the 1973 season with OJ and the Electric Company during the 1973 Season. I watched the Van Miller Saturday afternoon Bills Football show religiously and will always remember, "OJ to the right for 4 yards, OJ to the left for 4 yards, OJ up the middle for 3 yards and a first down." I really started to follow the Bills during their 1980 season and went to my first home game that year vs the Raiders. It was as crazy as any rock concert (Summer Jam) I went to when Rich Stadium first opened. From then on I was hooked. I bought my first TV (13" Color Zenith) just so that I could watch the Bills in the playoffs.

They need someone to run the scout team.

Am I the only one not planning on watching Chiefs/Ravens??
mabden replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall
As a newly minted, temporary ravins fan, I plan on watching. Whether that happens is TBD. -
Falcons hire Rams DC Raheem Morris as head coach
mabden replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
If he behaved as he does in front of reporters, yep! -
Mediocrity is what we had, before, the Pegulas bought the team. Sure they whiffed on the Rex Ryan show, but McDermott and Beane are as committed to bringing a Championship to Buffalo as anyone since Levy and Pollian.

I worked with a guy named Bruce Smtih (not HOF Bruce). Everytime the Bills lost and/or Bruce had a bad game, this guy would receive obscene phone calls on how badly he played. On one hand it was funny, on the other it's like, wtf, these guys need to get a life.

Preferably: Resign Hyde to a 1 year deal. Keep Poyer. Both players retire as Bills in 2025 with the full grace and honor they deserve and hopefully with a Lombardi Trophy for their HOF resumes.

Shakir is our slot receiver that can line up outside on occasion. The team needs a burner with great hands to challenge the defense down the field on a consistent basis. That receiver is currently not on the team. We should be able to draft one in the first round this year.

What realistic coaching changes do you expect?
mabden replied to BigBadBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
The problem I see with firing McDermott is the potential/probable loss of all the assistant and position coaches leaving with him. McDermott may set the tone/character of the team and is responsible for the team overall, but it's everyone behind him that trains/develops the players so they are ready to contribute when they step on the field. Bringing in belicheat also brings in his kid and all his other cronies and philosophies. Curse me, but I'd take McDermott over belicheat any day of the week. -
What a great article! I did not know that Nagi was the OC. Now I understand why the cheifs are struggling on offense, besides their piss poor receivers.
-
He should have been on the field for Philly's last two drives over Miller. First round! Not 4th or 5th.
-
One of the things I noticed with the shotgun run calls, in this game, the running back came to Allen for the ball vs Allen going to the running back to hand off the ball. IMO, (obviously) having the back moving to the ball, generates more momentum towards the LOS, than standing still waiting for Allen to get him the ball.

Once upon a time when I was younger I'd be pissed
mabden replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall
Appreciate the sentiment and philosophic perspective. For the most part I am right there with you. Been a Bills fan since they drafted OJ. After the Superbowl losses and the subsequent doldrums of mediocrity, it took a while to redevelop any emotional attachment to this team. Grew tired of all the off season hype and hope only to be disappointed. Wash, rinse, repeat for 17 years. Still enjoyed watching, waiting, speculating. Then came Josh Allen and all the hope and promise that this young man represented along with him. The emotions returned. I liked everything I heard and saw from the GM down to the practice squad players. I thought, this was our time. Despite the roller coaster of this season, I never lost hope thinking Josh would wake up, the team would rally, and the coaches would lead. As much as I believe every word you posted, I am still left with being.... Pissed Off! Tomorrow is a new day. Go Bills! -
Mac Jones played the game of his life. And the Bills still should have won.

Unless you're at the game to watch the sidelines, consider, that the camera crews and TV booth personnel/producers are giving you those looks to sell a narrative.

Kelly had plenty of "clunkers" including a couple of super bowls.

I separated my shoulder playing basketball. Hurt like hell, looked worse. could not move it. At the emergency room, the doctor laid me out on the table, slowly worked the arm until it popped back in. The shoulder felt great and I was ready to go back to the gym. Then the doc started wrapping my arm to my torso. I asked what was all this? That's when he told me I would be out of work for a month.

Stopping the Miami Offense (and Tua the wizard) - Lets hear the ideas.
mabden replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Tua is getting rid of the ball so quickly, (1st in the league) then it means he is throwing to his 1st option and his eyes should tell you where he is throwing. Taking away that 1st option, forces him to scan for other options, equals more time for the DL to get pressures. Also having the DL raise arms to tip/bat down passes should be more effective, easier to achieve than sacks.
