Devin White Released by Eagles. Should we take a flyer?
BarleyNY replied to TonyBeets's topic in The Stadium Wall
That unlikely as he’s only 26. Former 5th overall pick who hasn’t lived up to that overall. Ankle injury this season. Missed the last game for “personal reasons” which might have something to do with him not starting. Or could be something that will keep him out longer. Seems like he wanted to be cut loose by Philly. He was on a one year, $4M deal with $3.5M guaranteed and another $3.5M possible in incentives. He got paid $2.17M of it already. So it doesn’t look like he’d cost much. But my thinking is that he will want assurances that he will get on the field for his new team so he can get paid next season. It doesn’t feel like a move the Bills would make though. He’s more of a fit for replacing Bernard than Williams IMO and that’s no bueno unless he gets injured. So that’s all I’d be watching for. -
I was responding to the point brought up. The poster mentioned that a loss of consciousness doesn’t necessarily mean that the person has a concussion. I simply stated that if an NFL player is knocked unconscious then they are automatically put into the concussion protocol. What was unclear about that?

Not challenging Dalton sideline catch or Cook TD
BarleyNY replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
In the same game they would have automatically reviewed Coleman’s TD. Sure looked like he stepped OOB at least once, but they let it stand. -

LOL. Now that’s funny. I’ve seen far worse calls. -

Now you’re just being silly. -

And anyone who understands basic logo can tell you that you throw the challenge flag because the cost to you is zero and the potential benefit is large, even if the odds are small. -

Because refs are infallible? Or are you saying that it wasn’t worth risking nothing on the off chance we get the call overturned and maintain the TO? -

Chances might’ve been slim - they weren’t 0.0% - but the cost was nothing. -

My post that you responded to very clearly referenced only the play with 3:30. -
Not challenging Dalton sideline catch or Cook TD
BarleyNY replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
WTF are you talking about? The timeout we are discussing came with 3:30 left in the 4th qtr. It was after the pass to Cook on the sideline that was ruled incomplete. McD called a timeout rather than throw the challenge flag. At that point in the game the challenge flag would have been the correct decision if he was going to call a TO anyway. That’s because the Bills had both challenges left and challenges can’t be used after the 2 min warning. So he wound up wasting both. Better to have had a chance at getting the call reversed - especially since it would have cost the Bills nothing. -

Exactly what I said at the time too. There was only 3:30 left in the game and we had both challenges left. It would’ve cost us nothing to challenge. It would have given us a longer TO even if we didn’t win it. -
I honestly can see the Bills trading for a WR. It feels like it’ll be too little, too late. The team needs more than that to compete for a title (though it would be a good start). Even if they do make it to the playoffs they have to win there with a HC that has a consistent habit of freezing up and making mistakes. Allen can’t cover up all the deficiencies and that too. He needs more help than one WR can give him. Though an Amari Cooper or the like would make the season a lot more enjoyable.

What O adjustments can the Bills make short of a trade?
BarleyNY replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Gotta find ways to scheme some people open more often. Utilizing Samuel in some rational way would also help. -
I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better
BarleyNY replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
That’s not remotely true. Lotta folks here bought into that exact narrative that the Bills pushed through their mouthpieces. Everybody eats! We won’t have just one stud WR that teams can key on and take away! No team wins if they have to pay an elite WR! This is the smart way to build a WR corps! All that garbage was posted here ad naseum. It was posters drinking the kool aid and being hopeful. The biggest issue this is causing is what we’ve seen the last two games. Allen is holding the ball because no one is open and that’s getting him hit a lot more. That can do damage to him and this team that lasts beyond this season. -
Combination of turf toe and horrifically poor usage.

Josh probably thought he was throwing to a competent NFL WR with at least bare minimum NFL speed.

How was Josh able to finish the game with a concussion?
BarleyNY replied to JakeFrommStateFarm's topic in The Stadium Wall
Notably Allen was 0-5 passing after his head bounced off the turf. -
Agreed. But it could’ve been done differently. They have really set Allen and the offense up for failure.
