Week 4, 10/02/22, Bills v. Ravens GAME BALLS
Kirby Jackson replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall
Playing Lamar is obviously tough. That wasn’t a “gameball-worthy” performance IMO. I think that he may be an all-pro. He’s very valuable. He was rough early. -

I’m seeing a lot of Milano. The 1st half might have been the worst half that I’ve seen him play. Missed tackles and overpursuing. It certainly got better. I think that he’s very, very good. I didn’t think that he was today. -

NFL WEEK #4 - Bills At Ravens - 2nd Half Thread
Kirby Jackson replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Moss is the worst player on the team. That’s not up for debate -
Can’t undo that now. Sunk cost, Moss stinks. Motor will be a FA. Cook looks like a role player.

Can you win a Super Bowl with McDermott? I know that he can coach a good team but can he coach a Super Bowl winner? He’s TRAGIC with the clock. -

If the Bills try Moss in short yardage again I’m going to send a nasty letter to Dorsey -

That’s fair I’m not suggesting that they don’t. I’m challenging us to be better than that. It was so annoying when the Bills weren’t good. It’s incredibly cringe with a team that is +400 to win the Super Bowl. Act like you’re good enough Lol, go back to the start and see when and where race entered the conversation. You wanted to talk about it -not me.
-
Nope, again, that’s not what was said. You are free to pick whoever you want as the best player. I’d take Allen over any player in the league. What I said, and continue to say, is that I don’t need to pretend Lamar is bad to make Josh look good. You should argue the merits of what Josh does well. It’s not, “Josh, because Lamar sucks.” It is “Josh, because he has an incredible combination of skills.” Downplaying someone to prop up your guy is BEYOND weak. That’s the insecure old ways of Bills fans. The Bills are elite now. We can talk about why the Bills are elite without worrying about anyone else. If you embellish/downplay the accomplishments of any player, that’s lying. If you don’t think that Tom Brady has had the greatest career that a QB has ever had, you’re lying. He holds every single record and has won 7 Super Bowls. There isn’t another option. That doesn’t mean that you have to like him. I hate him. No one talked about race until you said, “I’m not racist or anything but_____.” My original comments had ZERO to do with race. I’m not sure why you brought it up? I was waiting for, “I’m not racist I have (insert number here) of black friends.” You don’t need to yell “I’m not racist.” We aren’t talking race. We try to avoid that on TBD. We are talking elite QBs. He leads the league in TDs and has the highest scoring team in football. He’s the QB of a good team. That’s who wins MVPs. That’s not “silly.” There is a long way to go but what about Lamar isn’t MVP-worthy at this point?

The main reason is accessibility of tickets. In the early ‘90’s places like StubHub didn’t exist. It was WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY harder to get tickets. I started attending road games during the drought and we were always well-represented. We traveled as well as anyone then. Now, it’s a whole different level. There is a noticeable gap, in every city, between Bills fans and every other fan base. It’s wild. I lived in New Orleans for 14 years so we saw LOTS of different fan bases come as their “destination game.” Pittsburgh, Dallas and SF always had lots of fans. They are NOWHERE near as organized as Bills fans either. Every Bills fan knows where to go 2 nights before, the day before, the night before and the tailgate. It is one giant pre-planned trip.
-
It’s a little bit of both. I travel, often, for Bills games (although I’m not there this week). We typically have a LARGE group (always 20+) and it’s a mix. It’s probably 90% traveling, but not all from Buffalo. That % drops a little in certain cities (haven’t been to them all) with people that relocated there (NY, Miami, Cleveland, Boston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa). If I had to guess that 90% probably holds true most places. There are a LARGE contingent that travel from somewhere. In LA, it was FILLED with Bills fans that had relocated west, not necessarily LA though. When I lived in New Orleans we always went to Houston for example because it was only a 4-5 hour trip.

Oh great!! These guys always give Brady all of the calls!! Doomed!!!
-
…if you asked “the Ravens fan version of you” (homer that always feels attacked) they would say, “the media gives Josh Allen too much credit.” Stop whining and take a step back. Both guys are amazing. Both deserve tons of praise. You do not need to discredit the other to prop up Josh. His play has earned him plenty of accolades and attention. Lamar deserves all of the praise he is getting right now. This is the OLD Bills fan thinking and it used to piss me off when we were bad. “Why does everyone think Brady is so good? He cheats.” They guy has been to 10 Super Bowls. We don’t need to drag others down to feel better about ourselves. Have some confidence in your team. It’s okay to admit that others are good. That doesn’t make you less of a fan.

It’s okay to not like a rival. I hated Marino as well. I despise Tom Brady. He has played in 10 Super Bowls. It’s not okay to LIE about how good they are to seemingly make our guy look better. People complaining about other stars getting props is weird/insecure. We need to be better than that. We can argue the merits of Allen without pretending that Lamar/Mahomes aren’t also elite. I’m not sure where race entered this conversation? PLEASE do not try to randomly bring race in as a way to say that “race has nothing to do with it.” That was an uncomfortable place to take this conversation for no reason at all… If you or your sons can’t appreciate the play of Lamar, Allen, Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes then I feel sorry for you. I didn’t say “LIKE” them. I said “APPRECIATE” their accomplishments. Please refrain from using those words interchangeably.
-
This is one of those weird, insecure, old-Bills posts that I thought we were beyond? It was the same with Mahomes in the past. It is okay for multiple people to be phenomenal. Lamar being good doesn’t mean that Josh is bad. We don’t need to downplay his historical accomplishments to prop up Allen. His play speaks for itself. These guys are both elite players and we all should appreciate watching them play the game that we all love.
-
Don’t know if this has ever been on here, but the Bills tried HARD to trade up to draft Devin Duvernay. They couldn’t make it happen and drafted Gabe Davis 30 picks later. Fun little fact

Which player did we miss the most?
Kirby Jackson replied to Billzgobowlin's topic in The Stadium Wall
Morse and Hyde for me. They are in the middle of the field and running their respective sides of the ball. We can’t underestimate the importance of intelligence. Those are 2 of the smartest players on the team that cover for others because they’re always in the right place. -
A few thoughts: - @eballis the man!! Appreciate the hospitality. - the safety was an unlucky break - Zack Moss should never play (despite the long run). His feet are too slow. He can’t get into the hole. - Miami is good - The Bills are way better than the Dolphins - I liked the anger/disappointment after the loss. They might have needed that. I legitimately thought 20-0 was on the table. They needed EVERYTHING to go wrong to lose. That’s encouraging. - I didn’t think that Josh was great yesterday. There were a couple of decisions that had me cringing. - The young secondary was fine. - Officiating was questionable. - This was Miami’s Super Bowl. - Josh Allen should sneak every single time the Bills need less than a yard. He weighs 240 lbs
