Week 1: Jets at Bills (-6.5)
Rocky Landing replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, if we did see the best of Shaq, it was last season, which was better than the season before, which was better than the season before that. Be that as it may, I doubt he misses us, either! -
Week 1: Jets at Bills (-6.5)
Rocky Landing replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But, if McD is planning to essentially split time on the field between Norman, and Wallace (not unlikely), could McD not believe that Norman had earned the starting title from his veteran experience? Just conjecture. -

Rocky Landing replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not sure Shaq's reached his ceiling. His career certainly had an uphill battle in Buffalo, and I have a feeling he is going to excel in Miami. Be that as it may, I don't think he is an apt comparison to Epenesa at all. We shouldn't expect to see much out of Epenesa in the first half of the season, but I think he could develop into a solid pass rusher. His upper-body technique has been described as advanced, by college standards. His talent is in throwing opposing linemen off balance. I think we saw a brief glimpse of that in training camp when Bryan Winters found himself laying on the ground. I may not have watched enough of Butler to warrant my concerns, but what I did observe was inconsistent, IMO. I'll be happy to be wrong about that. I wonder how often he will be rotated with Wallace? I would expect them swap frequently. Could Norman's starting status just be in deference to his vet stature? -
Week 1: Jets at Bills (-6.5)
Rocky Landing replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm a little concerned with Vernon Butler starting over Phillips, but I suspect there will be a stout rotation there, anyway. I'm also concerned with AJ Klein, and our depth at that position. Klein may be our best option at Will, and that is a concern. The first thing I'm going to look for when the offense takes the field Sunday is the right side of the line. Personally, I feel like we're going to see Ford at RT, and Williams at RG. But, I've felt that would be the case since they signed him, and I went back and watched Williams play at RG, and RT. And I've been flamed for that opinion. Maybe I'm just being stubborn. -

And with Greggo setting the tone, you know their D is going to play dirty. -
Question: Is Moss pushing Devin to start?

Bills release DiMarco, injury settlement
Rocky Landing replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, if you can think of it, it probably exists. And, here it is: The Patrick DiMarco Highlight Reel! Unfortunately, the only highlight in a Bills uniform is his catch-and-run from Allen in '18. Good times! Or, rather, good time! -
First offensive play of the season?
Rocky Landing replied to BuffAlone's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hard to vote-- I'm torn between what I want to happen, and what I think is more likely to happen. -

Never has NFL reporting been more of an echo chamber! -
Question: Is Moss pushing Devin to start?
Rocky Landing replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wasn't responding to the OP, really. @Alphadawg7 is one of my favorite posters, in fact. I was more responding to the odd conviction of many posters on this site that Moss has somehow already established himself as an NFL running back, without having played a single snap. IIRC, Singletary started week one, last season (?) as did Ford, and Oliver, so it's not like McD isn't willing to start a rookie. But, Singletary started after having numerous preseason game snaps. In one of those games, Motor was handed the ball something like 15 offensive snaps in a row. Moss has absolutely nothing like that to compare. As for the Barry Sanders reference, again not calling out Alpha, at all. That literal comparison has been made in at least three other threads since the draft that I can recall. It's that overly-optimistic conviction that allows some to think that Moss, an untested rookie with zero NFL snaps, might start over Motor, based on rumors from the most secretive TC we've ever had. -

Rocky Landing replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just a thought: Maybe we should wait for Moss to play a game before crowning him the next coming of Barry Sanders? -
Are the Bills Offering Fans Cardboard Cutouts?
Rocky Landing replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So, they'd all just be sitting there, unblinking, and soulless, and it would look like a Pats* game. I guess just make sure they're made from a nonflammable material. If they spontaneously combusted, it'd look like a Jets game. -

Rocky Landing replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Imagine how embarrassing it would be if it rained really hard, they got all mushy, and sunk into the seats. It would look like a Dolphins game. -

Do we really need a dozen, or so dump trucks full of trash? (Not Kay Adams, but the cardboard) -

I know he's a ST staple, but I think we're going to see Siran Neal on D a lot this season. -

Rocky Landing replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Jets are banged up, also. CBS Sports has their depth chart listed with all but one of the wideouts (Barrios) dealing with some injury, as well as their starting TE, Herndon. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYJ/new-york-jets/depth-chart/ This is going to be a weird game to watch. -

Bet they start the first half of the reg season 3-5. -

McKensie can probably punt. -
Week 1: Jets at Bills (-6.5)
Rocky Landing replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Judging by most of the score predictions, it appears that Jets fans are assuming Gase is going to play their second string offense, and defense. -

Interesting that Vegas has already released odds for week two, with the Bills favored over Miami by 3.5. -

I was just referencing what Ryan Talbot had tweeted: No Kumerow and Slayton on the initial PS list. Could both be added after going through the COVID-19 onboarding process with two of the names below being released. -

Rocky Landing replied to ColoradoBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is pretty much what I'm saying. But, I would think he still would have considered turning down the designation in hopes of landing somewhere down the line-- even with the Bills. If there is as much attrition as some suspect there will be, there will be regular spots on PSs in the weeks to come. -

Well, the Pats* have now signed three WRs to their PS. It's weird how incomplete that team is a week from the opener.
