GAME BALLS - Packers v. Bills, 08/28/21
TheBrownBear replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The great thing is that Josh could have actually played better. It seemed like a pretty average performance from him and it accounted for 200 yards and two touchdowns in a single half of football. -
No. I don't think that's it at all. Minshew was outplayed by C.J. Beathard in preseason and camp, and Beathard has plenty of starting experience in the league. He's a quality player. Jax didn't need to keep both of them. Might as well get something for Minshew.

Sports Illustrated Predicts Every Game
TheBrownBear replied to The Avenger's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Barring some seriously MAJOR injuries, we are not going 2-4 in the division. I'd bet my wife and first child on that. -
Here's the thing though, all they have to do is get a quick daily nasal swab and wear a mask when around others at the facility (or get the vaccine of course). The fact that they have short career windows, should only increase their willingness to follow the league mandated rules. If not, it says to me that they don't care so much about said NFL livelihoods.

I respect personal choice and all, but all I can do is shake my head at this point, especially after Dion and Tommy's experiences and the Pfizer approval. It will be sad if losing one (or more) of these guys at the wrong time submarines our season. And beyond that, I hope these guys stay safe and don't find themselves really ill and in the hospital.

Urban Meyer killed it at Bowling Green and Utah (winning a Fiesta Bowl when they were still in the MWC). The guy is a great, great coach and not necessarily dependent on being a great recruiter. It may not translate to the NFL, but I wouldn't write off Meyer based on 2 preseason losses as head coach of the worst team in the NFL.

Bills claim WR Rico Gafford and DT Joey Ivie
TheBrownBear replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Interesting. I'm guessing McBeane trusts Josh's judgement and grabs these Wyoming boys for him, so they can record a little tape for the next stop on their professional football journeys. -
Travis Etienne out for the season
TheBrownBear replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought the same thing. His productivity (YPA) fell off a cliff in his senior season. I didn't want the Bills anywhere near this guy in the early rounds. -
Comparison to 90s SB teams
TheBrownBear replied to BoccesOnTransit's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I take the 90s Bills. I think they're built to beat the current team. You beat this Bills team by running it down their throat and making them run the ball on offense. Don't think this current team would take advantage of the small 90's defensive line or be able to stop Thurman and Kenny Davis from running the ball like crazy. Just my opinion. -
If we have to choose: McDermott or Daboll?
TheBrownBear replied to Westside Madness's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Okay, I'll address the OP's hypothetical instead of crapping on him and calling him a troll: If we have to choose, I take McDermott. He has 4 years of actual head coaching experience and made the playoffs in 3 of 4 years, including winning our first AFC East championship in 25 years and leading us to an AFC Championship game. He also led us to the playoffs without Daboll and with Tyrod Taylor as our quarterback. I love the growth I've seen from Daboll (and Allen) over the past three years, but Daboll has 1 really great season out of many as an NFL offensive coordinator. Guys seem to love him and I'll be sad to see him leave, but I don't see any reason to believe he would be an upgrade over McDermott at the HC position. -
Football fans are back in Pittsburgh (fight)
TheBrownBear replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The guy in white didn't deserve what that drunken buffoon of a woman was dishing out. He was clearly trying to tell the lame boyfriend to check his girl when she went apes*"t on him. I abhor violence and do my best to avoid situations like this, but I have very little sympathy for the woman and her husband/boyfriend. -
Starter quality backup at $2.5 million/season. Why the hell would you even think of trading that?

It's not funny because the writing stinks. -

Tell Me About Average Bills Fans
TheBrownBear replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"Above average?" I think the term you're searching for is "masochist." -

Damn. That sucks for Lawson and the Jets. Hate to see a serious injury like that. -
Tell Me About Average Bills Fans
TheBrownBear replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I never met an "average" fan until I moved from Buffalo to California in my late teens. I hated those people when I met them and I still hate them today. Lol. But seriously, there is something to the notion that larger cities with tons of entertainment options or places with great outdoor activity options tend to produce more "average" fans. I mean, if we get an 80* day here in San Diego on a late October Sunday, it's darn hard to sit inside and watch the Bills for 3 hours when I could be out at the beach surfing, spearfishing or playing a round of golf at Torrey Pines. I still do it, but it makes me absolutely sick to waste a beautiful morning watching us lose. I love Buffalo, but as far as entertainment in the Fall-Winter, the Bills and Sabres are pretty much it (yes, I know we (Buffalo) have an art scene and bowling alleys...lol). -
Around the League Training Camp Thread
TheBrownBear replied to Buffalo Boy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Their (the Jests) WR core was hugely upgraded and should be solid if they can stay healthy. I have no clue what we'll see out of them this year. It all depends on Wilson's readiness and Saleh's ability to lead from the top.
