    Von Miller report?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by ToGoGo

    The 6 year contract was always a 3 year contract based on cap hit. 
     

    ACLs take 2 years. He’s 34. But he’s also a champion unlike the posters on this board. 
     

    Judge him next year.

    So how are we feeling about Coach McDermott?

    Just admit that was unbelievable to be here today after where we were when the Dunne article came out. 
     

    All these arbitrary “he must get X this year or he’s gone” are well, Emerson had something to say about “foolish consistencies”. 
     

    McDermott has balls of steel and looked all you haters in the face and said “s*ck on this”.

     

    Find another coach who will do that. You never will because you naysayers have zero eye for intangibles.

    I keep reading this.  What does it even mean "no excuses"?

     

    If they "no longer" have excuses does it mean they did at one point, and what were they?

     

    I'll hang up and listen.


    It’s some fans hard ass way of setting the team, and fanbase, and themselves up for self flagellation. 
     

    They’re too hard on themselves, the people around them, and as we see here, on the team. 
     

    They’ll suffer win or loss. Don’t let them try to bring you down to their tragic level.

    I understand people who have this way of thinking.

    You're saying you would have preferred the drama, the atmosphere, the "cinema" of a win-and-in, lose-and-out game. 

    I get that, but that ain't me. 

    For me, it's simple: To win the Super Bowl, you have to get into the playoffs. Any way, shape, or form that that happens for the Bills -- pretty, ugly, definitive, barely, backing in, clinching in week 12 -- I don't care. All I care is that they're in. That being the case, I'm thrilled that they have a spot clinched. No amount of of drama, atmosphere, or cinematic tension was worth the potential of not even making it to the second season. Not when we have Joshua Patrick Allen under center.

    And as I said earlier, I think the stakes are huge. The Bills' path to the Super Bowl looks A LOT easier as the 2-seed than the 6-seed. Getting the Steelers at home and then seeing the Phins have to travel to Arrowhead -- thus ensuring that one of them will be eliminated before we'd even see them -- would be amazing.

    But first thing's first: Hold the line. Win the East. Squish the Fish. Go Bills.


    You missed the point. Nextmanup is a secret Pats fan. 
     

    Reread what he said through that perspective. 

    Legacy scenario for Allen starting @ Miami

    The reason we lost to lesser teams is bc it's the nfl.

     

    In the afc: 

    Dolphins lost to the titans

    Steelers lost to patriots and cardinals

    Chiefs lost to the raiders

    Browns lost to the broncos

    Texans lost to the panthers

     

    This narrative needs to be put to bed that only the Bills lost to lesser teams.


    Unappreciative and traumatized fanbase with an irrational outlook.

    Yes let’s blame Josh Allen for leaving the field with the lead in 4 of the Bills 6 losses. 


    Right? 
     

    How can OP say they wanted Josh Rosen without saying they wanted Rosen?

    Some of these posters appear to be rooting for a Bills loss so they can blame Josh.  The narrative that Josh doesn’t play well in big games is bs. The 13 second game was as clutch a playoff performance as any Bills QB ever. 


    Correction:

     

    As any NFL QB ever.

    Hive Mind Theory Explains Bills' Recent Performances

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    6 hours ago, theRalph said:

    A hive mind is defined as a collective consciousness or intelligence that emerges from the coordination and cooperation of many individuals, similar to the behavior of bees in a hive.  Without getting too deep, I submit that an organization as closely knit as the Bills has a Hive Mind. This post will be tagged as irrational homer reaching, so I won't be brief. 

     

    For practical purposes, the Bills' hive mind, or collective conscious, seeks the obvious goal of survival, defined in their case as a SB championship. Just like in nature, there are forces trying to prevent this—of course, their opponents—but also information, the access to which being at an all-time high. 

     

    After the defensive injuries of weeks 4 and 5, Allen's dinged shoulder in game 7 and the attendant losses in games 5, 7, 9, 10 and 12, the "information" in the form of narratives further developed: The Bills rely too heavily on Josh Allen. McDermott turtles at the end of games. The team plays the blame game for its troubles.  The nadir was the ridiculous loss to Denver.    

     

    We all reacted to those narratives, but so did the Bills' Hive Mind. After consecutive losses, that Hive Mind has gone through several phases of discovery and has created game situations that have tested the team's capabilities in specific ways, like a computer app searching for viruses. Versus the Jets and the Eagles, it proved to itself that the offense was as capable as ever. Versus KC (after the bye and "The McDermott Problem") the ability to close out a game on defense was tested. Versus Dallas, the ability to rely on the run game was tested. Versus LA, the ability to win in the end after a mediocre performance was tested. And finally, versus NE, this testing became acutely obvious when the defense was able to win the game with very little help from the offense. A housed opening kickoff and three 1st quarter turnovers won by the D while Allen had his worst 1st quarter as a pro demonstrates this pretty clearly. This Hive Mind wants the trophy so badly, that it has tested the team against its own failure modes to such an extent that Bills fans are being put through hell every game. But just like the previous three games this one ended with the Bills in victory formation—like it was never in doubt. Josh Allen did not suddenly start to suck. It's all been about testing.

     

    The testing is complete. Hive Mind now has the team ready to put it all together. For five games. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Let the attacks begin!!

    #GoBills    


    Great stuff. Especially about testing against perceived failures like a computer program. Never thought of it like that. Intense QA testing before dynasty launch. 
     

    I suspect this post was not 100% made in jest. Let’s hope this is the year all tests are passed and Allen can finally become Joe Montana. 
     

    Also agree with the posters annoyed by the Schrödinger Cat poster. Stop trying to be smart and just be smart.

    josh was off out west but we never travel out west and win so I’ll take it

     

     


    Agree. There’s nothing wrong. We just ran into a gauntlet. 
     

    Great offense is back for Miami.

    This is going to be a tough game tomorrow. It’s Belichick and he can make your life miserable. 
     

    We were born deserving the playoffs and super bowls so I don’t want to hear that mess whether we win or lose.

    While I appreciate the effort, are we really trying to use a screenshot of YouTube comments as proof of public perception?

     

    For that matter, if you went out and found every comment responding to an "Allen is MVP" post, do you really think they would confirm anything one way or another?

     

    If you would answer "yes" to either of the previous questions, make sure you hop in and ask all those people to send you the news every day 'cause ya just don't trust it and need it from trustworthy sources who'll shoot ya straight like all those anonymous commenters on YouTube and Twitter....


    Look I know you’re a big Allen guy, and you see the truth about him and the nonsense narratives. 
     

    And BigDingus, I would usually never agree with him on anything, but YouTube or Reddit comments are a good insight into the mind of the average fan. 
     

    If you really want to understand their views, gloss over the comments in the Sherman/Keyshawn video. Despite the video being about Allen, the majority of the comments only wanted to talk about Lamar or Purdy. And whenever Allen was mentioned his turnovers and record were brought up and laughed out of the room. 
     

    I want to make clear that you are right about Allen. He deserves MVP. But this is what we are up against. You can deny it and ignore it, but it is what it is. We’re living in bizarro world.
