Joey Bosa signs with Buffalo. 1 year, $12.6 million
TheBrownBear replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Great signing! Potential impact pass rusher at $12 mill? Seems like a steal to me. And with the way we rotate lineman, this is a good fit for the oft injured Bosa as well -
Or 4 punters!

RB Ty Johnson Re-Signed - 2 Year Deal
TheBrownBear replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Great re-signing! -
Lol. I've lived here for 15 years now. Force of habit I suppose.
-
I like this signing. Young. Decent size. Good separator. Not sure what happened last season in San Diego, but he has the potential to break out here (I hope).

I was about to say that Lofton was 33 and considered washed up when he landed in Buffalo, but then again, Lofton and TO were elite, HOF talents at their peak, something you can't say for Lockett.

If you can sign Cook at a reasonable number, then do it, but running backs typically have a short shelf life and with his slight frame he's going to start hitting injuries in the not too distant future. Also, keep in mind that you can find a quality running back on day 2 of the draft. Cook was the last pick of round 2 and Tampa found a Bucky Irving in the 4th round last year.

As others have said, it's hard to argue against Peterman or Maybin for this title. There's been others along the way that were probably equally bad or worse, but they were likely completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. For instance, I have this vague memory of a cornerback (possibly a backup or dime back) whose name escapes me that played in Gailey era (I think) that would seemingly give up a huge play every time he saw the field.

We both hate them. Lol. Led Zeppelin knock off band. -
Superbowl Game Thread - Chiefs vs Eagles
TheBrownBear replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
That's the problem. Rock is dead. My son is a good young guitar player (11 yrs old). He doesn't listen to or play any contemporary rock music. Basically doesn't listen to anything after mid-2000s stuff like Queens of the Stone Age, Strokes, White Stripes, but mostly just 90, 80s, 70s stuff. -
Superbowl Game Thread - Chiefs vs Eagles

Rap just doesn't translate live, IMO. I loved 90s rap/hip-hop. Then I went to see Ice Cube in concert with a bunch of the other Westside Connection dudes and it was terrible. Just a snooze fest. Kind of lost my love for rap after that. Just doesn't translate like the power of rock, funk, jazz, soul or even classical. Anything where real live instruments are playing. -
It amplifies our worst thoughts and our worst (and loudest) voices. And most sinisterly, the algorithms are specifically designed to feed us content that entrenches our positions and encourages us to hate pretty much everyone outside of our little tribal bubbles. Absolute scourge on humanity.

Well respected and well liked guy. Good player and good coach - just never had much of a roster to work with during his career. R.I.P.
-
I think it's overshadowed by Aaron Rodgers' USPS "Mailing it In" award. Right on. Hailee's one of the cutest women on the planet (after my wife of course).
-
I'm glad it's out of the way for Josh. It cements his HOF credentials and basically makes it so he has only a couple goals left to check off the list.
-
I can barely imagine a less inspiring move than signing an oft-injured over the hill Allen. I have no desire to sign Amari Cooper, but I'd still do that in a second before pursuing Keenan Allen.

We just need one good outside receiver - whatever that looks like. Right now our best boundary receiver is Mack Hollins. Let that sink in. Our best receiver is MACK HOLLINS.

It Goes Back to 13 Seconds, Doesn't It?
TheBrownBear replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
I tend to agree. We were an absolute sieve against the Chiefs. The Bengals would have hung 30+ on us in our stadium the following week. No matter how invincible you may seem one week (see Bills 51 - Raiders 3), a good coach will find a way to exploit your weaknesses before it's all said and done. Even if we had gotten past the Bengals, I don't doubt for a second that McVay would have exposed us with two weeks of planning. Just want to add that this year was the sort of the breaking point for me where going forward I will view the regular season as absolutely meaningless. We can rack up 17 regular season wins next year and I won't give a damn until we get past the Chiefs and into the Super Bowl. Sad to say, but that is where we are now. -
Do Bills players think they can beat the Chiefs?
TheBrownBear replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
I kind of think Dion probably just lost sense of how much time and opportunity was left there. As we went to break before the 4th and 5, it felt like that play was the game from a psychological standpoint. I'm sure he was feeling the same. -
Hot Take: Does Bobby Babich Lose His Job?
TheBrownBear replied to BillsFan130's topic in The Stadium Wall
There's a lot that drives me nuts about the defense, but nothing more than how often they give up a touchdown on the opening possession with little to no resistance. They did it in all three playoff games this year and many of the regular season games as well. I get that those are scripted drives, but it still speaks to having a defensive scheme that is very very predictable, and just frankly a defense that isn't prepared to come out and play from the first snap. -
Bills Have Low Percentage of First Read Pass Completion- Why?
TheBrownBear replied to jethro_tull's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think this is spot on and why our offense can look so discombobulated and forced sometimes, even as it produces points. This type of tendency seemed to peak during the Dorsey era. The games where he was able to get it out quick over the years tended to be things of beauty (Detroit this season, perfect game against the Pats, etc.). -
The players on that side of the ball really choked last night. If was just play disciplined and stick to our assignments we probably win that game. Really disheartening to see Rousseau consistently lose the edge and our generally piss poor tackling at the second level. In many ways, we were very fortunate to be in that game until the end, and I was frankly shocked when I looked at the box to see we had actually outgained the Chiefs.
