Historic day. I'm so happy it actually happened this year! -

HELL YES -
Should the NFL start firing referees who make bad calls?
dpberr replied to Klaista2k's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wouldn't fire them. I do think coaches should be able to appeal a booth ruling if they choose to do so. I hate the absolute nature of the booth review. This would necessitate a different referee looking at it. Essentially the NFL would need a backup booth referee system that is separate from the main one. -
Between the two, Mayfield. He shows up in big games and that's important. I think that's part of what makes that really awesome NFL QB. Some people try comparing Allen to Carson Wentz. The difference IMO is that Wentz led his teams to two titles. Allen really didn't lead Wyoming anywhere.

Are we in the mid-90s again? I picked Kansas City simply because it's the more historic, established rivalry.

Prediction: Head Coaching Changes this offseason
dpberr replied to JoeF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd add the Jets, Broncos, Raiders and my darkhorse pick, the Packers. I think McCarthy has run his course in Green Bay and Elway will get a "name" this offseason. -
Marvin Lewis will leave Bengals after this season
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What Jason Garrett is to Jerry Jones, Jay Gruden is to Mike Brown and the Bengals. I think the Bengals will even go so far as trading for him. If they get Gruden, I believe Andy Dalton would stick around. -
Playoffs? Playoffs?? The Playoff Chances Thread
dpberr replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's bulletin board material for the Bengals. Keep it coming Seth. -
Offensive coordinator searches are fraught with terror but Dennison is lousy. He's just not good at that job. Retreads are stonecutters - they rely way too much on what's worked in the past. Young, inexperienced guys are scratch off lottery tickets. You can win big with a McVay or lose with a Nate Hackett. McVay is no super genius - his skill is in scheming around the talent, not vice versa. It's why Todd Gurley goes from never catching passes to now being a pass catching bulldozer out of the backfield. Todd Gurley could always catch passes. It's just Jeff Fisher still saw running backs through a circa 1995 lens. I'd rather take my chances with a younger coordinator. I think they are better at working with what they've got personnel wise. I think a retread comes in and tries to bolt on yet another completely different type of blocking scheme, running scheme, etc.

Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies
dpberr replied to Heitz's topic in Off the Wall
I'll add: Wheelman (Surprising gem.) Narcos (It's the Rosetta Stone of cinema - you'll be fluent in Spanish by the end of Season 1 and oddly skilled at smuggling.) The Punisher (IMO, the best of their superhero series.) -
Playoffs? Playoffs?? The Playoff Chances Thread
dpberr replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bengals/Ravens games are always a toss-up. I agree with others that the Bengals will show up for that one since he's been the defacto GM there and those players are "his" players. Further, Dalton needs to show that he can be the Bengals starter again next year. I also think the Jags will be at full throttle. That defense got dismantled by SF and you don't want your starters going into the playoffs with that memory. The team effort I worry most about is ours. -

He's no Doug Pederson. -
A few thoughts about the Patriots game
dpberr replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dennison is still a gutless coordinator. The Patriots adapt at half better than any team in football. You can't just run out there with the same, safe plan. BB loves predictable process guys. -
He's part of some really great memories when the Bills were always on, every Sunday, in Pennsylvania. It was rare to have a Sunday go by without hearing his voice.

Bills do worse in 2nd matchup vs the Patriots
dpberr replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the team doesn't show up with more effort than they showed up with in the Jets game, they all deserve to be fired. Coffee is for closers. -
So if we end up 9-7 and lose a tie-breaker...
dpberr replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jets game. That loss was 100% on a lack of effort and professionalism. -
Do we make the upset in Foxboro?
dpberr replied to Braedenstearns's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Gaines plays. He seems to be the key to it all on defense. The entire key to beating NE at any time is 1) don't be predictable and 2) don't play timid. -
Week 15 - Fins at Bills 2’nd Half Thread
dpberr replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dennison is so weak, so absolutely gutless. -

San Antonio. I can get around SA easier than Philadelphia. -
Meanwhile at Finheaven, feeling good about Cutler vs Bills
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There are two variables to this game. One is weather. Two is Jay Cutler's interest in playing football for a few hours on a Sunday. It'll range from "not feeling it", "whatever, I guess if I have to" to "sigh....if it'll make you shut up about it". He's treated his entire career as if it were a yard full of leaves that need to be raked on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. -
The “Billsiest” way for the season to end
dpberr replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We make it to the playoffs versus the Titans. It comes down to the last play of the game, only this time, we are returning the kick. -
Over the summer, Kirkman sued AMC over unfair compensation and I don't believe it's been resolved. I can see AMC cutting ties with Kirkman, paying him some royalty rights and moving the story away from his books to keep the show going. It's only my speculation here but removing the Carl character paves a way forward to do just that along with adding wrinkles like randomly appearing helicopters, beating fans senseless with trying to make the Scavengers plot happen and now Morgan somehow being in Texas. All points to a new direction. I think AMC likes Gimple even if fans do not. I liked him at the outset but the writing for All Out War could be better, crisper. I don't think the writers know how to handle so many actors, so many plot lines.

Who will be playing their last home game a Bill on Sunday?
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rick Dennison (Please. He's a lousy play caller but I think his insurance agent-esque risk aversion annoys me more.) -
I think the imminent demise of Carl means that Gimple, Inc. are skipping the Whisperers and going straight to The Commonwealth. I expect an imminent breakup between Kirkman and AMC and that'd allow Gimple and the writers to chart that story independently.
