Locker room cancer tendencies. I don’t need to see anymore. And I loved it when we were rolling a few years back. So I don’t say it lightly.

DK Metcalf requests trade to a contender
Thrivefourfive replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
So we get Metcalf and trade him and other things for Garrett -
Oh great… so he’s going to New England.

Can I be honest. I never know when these players are up for extensions like this. Didn’t catch much headlines here..? I know what Cook is up to, that’s for sure. We talk a lot about having to decide on Rousseau. Who else is next? Benford and Bernard.. what’s their situation. Last year so we extend or they’re playing for a contract? And we’re talking about Allen getting paid again.. I swear I thought he just did?! 🤣 Oh, locking up Shakir. I have NO problem doing that and trusting the signing was good for both sides. Wanting some burst out of KS10 this up comer Reed walked to practice up hill both ways

Best non Super Bowl Bills Team, SB era, ever
Thrivefourfive replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m struggling with the 1980 team because of Ferguson’s health. Can’t excuse that. And their playoff run. I can’t say 88 because they were outclassed by the Bengals who lost to San Francisco. The 2024 team was right they at the end of the conference championship game. The 2021 team had a defense.. until it was time to use it 👎 This team was a lot like the 89 team to me. I like them both, a lot. I realize how and when the team exited is hugely important, since results speak for themselves, and we’re basically cornered by “results” anyways (non-SB team). What team(s) were better than a Super Bowl team?? -
Best non Super Bowl Bills Team, SB era, ever
Thrivefourfive replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
Difficult to pick a point in a season and say that’s the best season the team had. The 2022 team wasn’t going anywhere after the dust settled. -
I’m not allergic to positivity 😂 This was it right?! Heartbreaker in the AFCCG. We lost two other conference title games and one AFL merger title game ((to the…. 🤬)) where we didn’t have much of a chance at all in any of them.. the 1988 Bengals were far superior and ready. On paper, 2024, this is it. I think this team was better than 2021 and 1989 (man I thought the 89 team woulda rep’d well in the Super Bowl pre SB losing scar tissue. They were just the right amount of crazy for me). What ya got?! Who’s theee best of the best non-SB Bills teams in the SB era to you?

Alls I know is Charger fans think he’s a sissy.

If the WR draft class is being written off, gimme the gem or two in rounds 4-6. One thing that’s weird. We’ve been clamoring for a stud WR, but Beane keeps filling the room with playable options who could go either way, bust or pleasantly surprised like Mack. Beane’s philosophy is to get a guy who will be made better with the Bills and JA17. Maybe if we played in a dome, we’d see a Beane WR take two steps forward, instead of the one step back.. Coleman, Samuel, Cooper, the scrubs like MVS. Or, half a step forward- Shakir two years ago, negated by his one step back in 2024, giving us.. a guy,,, a good guy, but not THE guy. There are a couple things that we have working against us for WRs to overcome: 1. weather, and 2. the current offensive philosophy and personnel. Our weather can take away two or three games of WR production (road games too). Our run heavy, JA17 red zone running, everybody eats, too many WRs that don’t do anything special creates this “everybody eats” garbage. I’d like a big dog to be a big threat in the redzone and on the field when it matters most, affecting defensive scheming. I don’t know who the defenses are worried about with our WRs. Yeah I do: NOBODY. Not to say that our offense wasn’t getting the job done. They rolled. But add the WR we all should want, and it’s another level of execution. Defenses would be truly concerned—unlike how the Chiefs look at us and scheme us up like a bunch of everybody eats passing catchers. -Eat this! Pressure.. JA17 doing it himself. Chiefs are doing what the Pistons did to Jordan. Make Jordan do everything by taking your B+ players and suffocating the Bills B players, isolate the A+ player. Doing this in football is more nuanced and our guy is the QB thank god. The Bills had an OLine and a great RB to counter that, but didn’t do enough. Add WR to that mix, come on.. we need that! The Ravens need that. The Chefs are still it, and when that Spags goes away, and takes all his defense mastery against the Bills and Ravens with him,,, or we add something that our team can beat his team with, no excuses. There’s one piece we’re missing. We can’t do it consistently with B players against B+ defenders. Allen A+ and Cook A isn’t brought. Bottom line. And a bunch of B WRs is, quietly frankly, unbecoming at this stage in our ascent. What we have isn’t it. Higgins makes us better—weigh the cost. A dude like Nabers. Oh my god this would be the best offense in the league bar none. I know he’s a blue chipper and future All Pro, but whatever, we need one. This OP is depressing me. i believe our philology is that our player will make a play. I want our philology to be more pre snap dangerous. Defenses see Coleman and they know that when/if the ball is thrown, which it hardly is, they need to make a play on him. But defenses don’t look at Coleman and think, “Oh s’!” we need to rotate this and move that to cover this.. because he's a problem, and now we need to allocate resources post snap to that guy, which leaves COOK with space… wow. That be something. So are we good at WR with our guys beating there guy one-one-one? Hell no! This philosophy will definitely “run it back” in the results column too. It’s a white flag and I hate it.

Watching the playoffs again, i’m okay with Bass for now
Thrivefourfive replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am too. He nailed everything there late. If he’d just stop missing the easy one, we can live with that. -
If we get this, our LBs will be making a lot of tackles, so better back them up since some are undersized and can’t take that type of beating.

Defensive Tackle: Is it the Players or the System?
Thrivefourfive replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bing again. Judging how we “build a defense” by how much capital we spend or invest on it is like spouting off about how great spaghetti is while you’re eating cereal. It’s got no code. Our problem is we can’t spot talent. And u think that’s a bad thing. -
Free Agents we like for the 2025 Bills?

folks. Please take care of yourself, and each other. -

Thrivefourfive replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
He just wouldn’t let you. It’s definitely HIM,, not you -
To the OP title- I’d rather not

I’ll take this one.. the answer is: because McDermott brings consistent success his supporters will let him die in office. In the end, when he’s won no SBs, they’ll argue: We never would’ve won one the other either.. We’re the Bills! But at least we were always in the playoffs instead of another drought. Uh huh. LLLLa-Who-Zerzzz Teacher! Teacher! 🤣 I think the point carries the day… a whoever said the thing.

Let's be honest, Josh probably has 5 good seasons left
Thrivefourfive replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall
Kids got an arm that will keep him in the league til he’s 45 if he wants. Gonna be some new health gains in 10 years any damn ways. -
The football trifecta and where do the Bills stand?
Thrivefourfive replied to Sweats's topic in The Stadium Wall
Confused him with Andre Ware. Simple mistake. -
I feel Tee Higgins = Peerless Price.
Thrivefourfive replied to SoonerBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Marques Colston. Not Peerless though. Not even close. -
I will not pretend that having Amon Ra St Brown is worse than not having him. Not all big money guys aren’t team dudes.

I’ll take, and the rings

Thrivefourfive replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Everyone eats is because nobody is good enough to steal all the food from the others. That’s not good…the second part. Big big problem when you need 6 in the red zone, eh -

Thrivefourfive replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Could you imagine a defensive player to root heavy for like we do for JA17 on offense?! Another player with the significance and dominance of a BS78…! Haven’t had that in looooong time. Let’s go, Bills, get ‘er done! Gimme a defense player to love
