The Baker Era Has Begun in Cleveland
fridge replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tyord taking himself out of the game with a number 1 pick chomping at the bit (Mayfield had his helmet on standing up ready to go all game) is the most Tyord thing ever. A lot of people said he was a quiet leader or a lead by example type of guy, but I don't buy it at all. Before anyone says he was hurt so it's out of his control, watch Brett Favre talk about why he never took himself out of a game until he was in his 40's. You simply can't let the next guy catch you. I'm sure Tyrod is a fine competitor by our standards, but the NFL requires a world-class level desire to win at the QB position and Tyrod doesn't show that at all. He's a tremendous athlete with all the tools to win, and a great mindset off-the-field in his preparation routine, but there was always something missing with Tyrod when the going got tough. -
I think Palmer's business is to prep prospects for the draft. He has a handful (maybe 3-4) guys that he works with. Right now UB's QB Tyree Jackson is one of his bigger names.

I think you're severely over thinking this. Rivers is a franchise QB, yes that is a given. While I do think he's pretty overrated, for the sake of argument, I'll concede that he's been consistently a top 5 QB throughout his career. So why have they made the playoffs 5 out of his 14 seasons? The answer is incredibly simple... coaching. In Rivers' first season as a starter, the Chargers went 14-2. They had Tomlinson in his prime and a decent defense, but the clear reason for their success was Schottenheimer. He preached smart play with the ball and Rivers had an above average 22:9 TD to INT ratio while the team finished first in takeaways/giveaways. Famously they fired Schottenheimer. Norv Turner and Mike McCoy aren't exactly world beaters, and I thought we all agreed the solution was Franchise QB + Great Coach = Good Team. There are some instances where a QB is good enough to succeed despite poor coaching and even fewer times when a good coach can be great with no QB, but the only proven formula is to have both.

Umm... what do you think they were before? -
Sadly, McDermott is the wrong guy to develop his own guys
fridge replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As much I think he’s proven to have no idea how to handle the QB situation, more glaring to me is how the team laid an egg offensively in the last two games (playoff game in Jacksonville, opener against Ravens). Somehow, after failing to score a touchdown in our only playoff game this century, they failed to address anything to improve the offense during the offseason. I don’t know about developing a QB, but I know that they have no idea what it takes to win this division, and frankly I’m sick of seeing guy after guy come in here and completely get it wrong. -

Sure it would bother me tremendously to be a laughing stock. Thankfully, I'm not on the Bills. -

Why do you people take criticism of your favorite football team personally? Blows. My. Mind. -
Brandon Reilly scheduled to visit Cardinals & Redskins

What exactly makes this guy a fan favorite? Am I missing something? -
Nobody should be doubting Beane or McDermott
fridge replied to SoCoBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We’ve been blown out in 4 games under McDermott. Nearly a quarter of the time his team gets just demolished right off the field. 24% of his games. I am rooting for them as much as anyone, but let’s not pretend this game was a one-off. -

High school basketball coach is his listed profession. Can someone explain to me how in the billions of profit we don’t have room for full time officials? -
I like to imagine that he was being insubordinate and talking trash about the other lineman when they watched the game film together.

This says it all...wide the hell open
fridge replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Often your first read is to “look off” the safety. I am happy someone like Erik makes these videos, but it’s incredibly presumptive since we don’t know the playbook or the concept of the play. -

fridge replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was expecting a video that was way more conclusive. Peterman’s first read wasn’t open, and the pocket fell apart immediately. He was literally running for his life. Peterman didn’t go above and beyond on Sunday, and in no way could anyone be impressed with his play, but man... our whole offense looked terrible. -
Not sure if you're new or not... but this is actually pretty similar to how TBD is after a 1 point loss as well.

The Organizational Incompetence of the Buffalo Bills

Good thing he wrote a really nice post to support his thoughts. Not his fault you ignored it. -
Oh, so he's an athlete?

We were so bad that the annual “coordinator in the booth” thread is no longer funny to me. I usually get a laugh or two out of these.

What a depressing stat. The next closest appears to be Fitzpatrick in 2011 when we beat New England at home. He threw for 369 that game.
