Rex Ryan was hired as the Bills coach 10 years ago today....
GunnerBill replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
And then they came back week 2, TNF the following year and destroyed us. Fitz's Jets tenure faded fast after that. But yea. The whole Rex period felt like trying to fit an every growing cube into a cylinder shaped hole. -
Im fairness on the replay you see the back judge (who I think was Vinovich himself) has eyes on what's happening right in front. His eyes flick to his right to Kincaid at the precise moment that Surtain lets go. I don't know if the side judge could have got involved to help there but when yoi are dealing with humans you are relying on their eyes being in the right place right on cue. It was a blown call but if you don't see it you can't call it.

Bills’ special teams— mea culpa (for now)
GunnerBill replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in The Stadium Wall
Smiley is definitely in over his head. We have had a good return game all year though and it didn't miss a beat yesterday without Codrington. That's a positive. Totally where I am on it. I think when opponents down punts inside the five there is a limit to what coaching can do about that. Great punt, good pursuit, favourable bounce. What you don't do there is make the big mistake. If you think you can clean catch it, fine. Otherwise get the hell away. -
Just watched it. Great game. But two franchises I couldn't care less about. So it's Commanders at Lions, right? Lions win.

I hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Never hated a Bills hire that much. It was doomed to fail from moment one. My partner remembers that day well because I was absolutely raging when I heard the news. -
AP All-Pro Teams Announced. Josh 2nd Team Only Bill.
GunnerBill replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
They will have an opportunity for a re-do. They have their guys available, hopefully they coach is better too. Gonna be one hell of a challenge. If Flowers doesn't make it for Baltimore that would help some as well. EDIT: oh and I should also say the offense playing better is a mandatory part of the puzzle. If you let Baltimore get up early and stay on schedule you have a problem. Your offense has to speed them up and create a sesne or urgency. That is when they tend to get away from the run. -
There are definitely games where he has. He's been really up and down this year though. Like I say, I'm not sure he has been fully healthy all year since the injury week 1. I also think the limitations of Green Bay's receiver by committee have shown up this season. But 2025 is big for him. That is for sure.

The Packers made so many mistakes. They played a terrible game top to bottom. Penalties, turnovers, injuries, missed tackles. That was probably their worst game of the season at the wrong time. Felt like Bills - Bengals two years ago. Couldn't get out of their own way. Yea he does. It's easier to dial an aggressive decision maker back than make a tentative one more courageous though.
-
He was poor tonight and has had an up and down year. Not sure he has ever been fully healthy though. I still think he is a good Quarterback.

Has Bills D turned the corner with Milano back to almost normal?
GunnerBill replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Milano has been back to himself the last two games he played - Jets and today. And he is still one of our best players. So of course he helps. Fingers crossed it continues. -
Yea his hands are really good. And I love hands on my pass rushers. I'll forgive not being the twitchiest or the fastest round the edge if you can use your hands. Not that Green is in that category. He doesn't lack twitch. But the technique is better than you expect for a smaller school guy.
-
I am quite deep into the edge class now. I confess I lile Carter more having really got into his film than I did when I posted that. He is raw, but he is a relatively recent convert to edge. I think he is my EDGE1. I like Pearce too, he is EDGE2 but I feel like early on he is going to have most impact rushing from a two point stance. I'd feel more comfortable drafting him in the top 15 if I am primarily a 34 team. Agree Scourton is more of a power rusher, but I do think he is a first rounder. More a late 1 grade for me. The other guy I gave an indicative 1st to was Princely Umanmielen from Ole Miss. He is an older guy. 23 by draft day. So I have a flag to come back to him. Reminds me a bit of Will McDonald who had great tape his final year but you are balancing "how much of this is just a grown ass man beating up on college kids". McDonald has transitioned well to making an impact in the NFL despite that. I had an indicative high second on Green, but there certainly are not close to 32 first round grades in this class so I do think he has a chance to slide into the end of the first. My two negatives on him were run game discipline, which is non-existant at this point, and I think he needs to add bulk. I worry that early he might end up a pass rusher only and you have to work out where that leaves him value wise. How old is he? Do you know? I know he transferred. But I'm more willing to take a shot at the pass rush upside in the 1st if he is 21 than if he is 23. Agree Sawyer is a day 2 guy. I also did not have a 1st on Mykel Williams. If you are a 3-4 team and wanna play him as a 5 tech, sure I can understand it. But he is is not a big pass rusher. If he goes to a 4-3 team he will end up as a base defense defensive end who comes out on money downs.
-
And that is where you need luck. They might have lost anyway... but it was 10-0 and they were in the redzone. A few minutes later 16-3 and lost their two best receivers (with Watson already done for the year).
-
He'd need to be willing to play for less than market value to finish up in Buffalo.

GunnerBill replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in The Stadium Wall
He is the returner once you decide not to field it you don't get anywhere near the ball. -
Because Flo has never seen a blitz he doesn't wanna call 14 times a game? 😂 Josh used to murder his Dolphins D.
-
I'm open to him playing next year and then tagging him. I'm sure he would not be tok happy but that would keep him a Bill through his age 27 season. Committing money to a running back long term worries me because it is a lower impact position and after 28 they tend to drop off. I do take the point on Cook has less tred on the tires than most having never been a bell cow in college, but as much as I like him I don't think you throw big money at him.
-
This Packers team is so odd. It can look so dominant against lesser teams but it properly seems to shrink in big spots. They are still young so I give them a bit of a break but eventually you gotta punch back.

Tirico = pro Nantz = great voice Burkhardt = still talks too much Michaels = feels like he has mailed it in Buck = waiting for death
-
This is a Brady stat too. It was a major problem under Dorsey. They had no answers to blitzes.
-
Hard to complain about Sewell (who is the best tackle in football) and Johnson (who has had a great year and been good for a long time so has the name recognition) but for me Brown was in the discussion with Johnson for 2nd team. For Tom and O'Neill (Minnesota) to get the minor votes and Brown to get none is madness.

GunnerBill replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in The Stadium Wall
The not blocking the Bronco who downed that punt was because their flankers were then playing the fake, it was 4 downs after the fake punt they didn't play. And it was a great punt. I don't really blame Smiley on that although I reserve the right to change my mind when I see the all22. -
Mike Vrabel - Now hired as the new Patriots coach
