I’m sorry, but the play design and calls and execution looked like high school stuff to me. Two tights right, one quick out, one 10yd out, against one/one zone on that side was a pathetic spot to look and actually throw the ball to. Then on the third pick of the game, they run the exact same patterns with Davis on the 10y out, but since he’s a receiver the Jets have safety help so it’s a short/medium/medium-deep attacker zone, and ***** Allen throws it again. Stretch hand-off dives up the 1 and 2 gaps absolutely sucked too and wreaked of high school. The three plays on the OT possession spelled it all out. Uncreative, passive, lacking clear objectives and purpose, and the lack of execution (if that was even possible). The offense sucked tonight. I saw nothing that made me think — Wow! That’s was some talent! It was beyond basic, and embarrassing for Dorsey and Allen …… f*cking those two idiots….. I don’t know what to think. Tweetle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, clearly. Jets have an above avg defense, which the Bills O made look like a top five in the league defense. That should never ever happen if you have a great offense, as the Bills should have.

I posted he was toast in the Pittsburgh pre season game thread. He’s toast. A question that the staff needs to answer is how long do you allow him to be a liability out on the field. He’s a vet, so he knows how to wiggle his way to the ball on running plays. He can tackle when he’s got a runner wrapped. He’s also balls to the wall tough, so he’ll get in the middle of some plays. But as far as being a suitable starting safety thoroughbred race horse for a championship contender, NO. That ship sailed.

9/11/23 GAMEDAY Week 1 Bills @ Jets MNF Pregame Thread
Thrivefourfive replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Can we just say Collinsworth says things that are stupid. Hey! Don’t underestimate that Detroit pick 6 in the second half.. He said that. He also said that Dan Campbell is misunderstood.. that he’s quirky with all the expressos, but he really just loves coaching football. Ya don’t say Chris… you don’t think everyone on the planet knows that Dan Campbell is into coaching football. We don’t understand that?? So here goes the corniest voice in sports, Buck, and the most unnecessarily dramatic, Aikmen. Allen is going to kick everyone’s ass tonight -

LAMP - New High School FB Season
Thrivefourfive replied to Jon in Pasadena's topic in The Stadium Wall
If you’re in Pasadena Jon, Southern California HS football is ten hands full. Warm beautiful summer Friday night games.. right down to freezing games in November for the playoffs. Awesome, unforgettable stuff. Those Florida, southern, and Texas teams can pop on tv, but nothing is as deep as Southern California. Whichever top team is in Georgia, we have four or five of those, and one is actually public. I still go to a couple games a year, 30 years after my time in the east San Gabriel Valley. Enjoy the season, Jon!! -
I Am Not Optimistic Going Into This Season

I’m going to turn this into the awesome thought of the Titans game LAST YEAR! Oh, that beat down was fantastic. Taking no prisoners at that point. -
I Am Not Optimistic Going Into This Season
Thrivefourfive replied to longtimebillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I get it. It’s in our DNA to doom and gloom when there’s nothing really tangible going on. But just last year, after the KC game, the Bills were clear media favorites to win the Super Bowl. That team is still here, and is actually better across the board except for one middle linebacker. This team is fine. If the players pull any loser crap and make sorry excuses I’ll be disappointed. Their whole careers have come to this point of being on a Super Bowl contender. Let the fans be scared of their own shadows. Please not the players. -
How much longer will the window be open?
Thrivefourfive replied to JohninMinn.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
The offense should click better than ever and that will become the norm for a five-seven year window. It’s the defensive that needs to constantly reinvent itself and hit when it counts in the playoffs. Right now, I’m worried that the defense is just kind of ordinarily good. I’m not sure how anyone thinks differently about Mahomes. He’s by far the best quarterback. It’s just that way. Pretty indisputable at this point. -
Colts grant Jonathan Taylor’s request to seek trade
Thrivefourfive replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Man, Taylor is thee prototypical runningback. He has everything. I think his injury setbacks will not project as a career definer. He really is the perfect back in the NFL. If you can meet the price, he can absolutely help take a team to the Super Bowl as a difference maker. -
Paying to watch NFL games on a TV that you already own and on channels that you already have nothing but greed. It’s like each game is a pay-per-view event, so insanely gross we don’t even realize it. Pirate, then break this thing up.. and the owners can deal with a little less square footage at their fourth winter home. Tech pirating will always stay ahead of the curve, gov regulations. And with this, are we really criminals for wanting to watch the Bills on Sunday?? Maybe the raiders.. but not the Bills!!

O’Cyrus Torrence Dominating (video breakdown)
Thrivefourfive replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall
10-4. I’m already running in the red because of the holes I see at Tackles. This wouldn’t be the same as moving Quinton Nelson as a 10 year over to LT. We can dream and hope Torrence is a perennial All Pro, but he hasn’t even played his first game yet.. crazier things have happened. -

Nice fight in the crowd at the Broncos - 49ers game.
Thrivefourfive replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Jerry Rice looked satisfied. Everyone else, nah. Couple glove rubs and down the stairs shoves. I guess face slapping(?) One thing is for sure, especially in a crowd of 65k, demo 25-40, drunk and rooting for their first love::: The Security was ON IT!! Wow what a show of force! Stay safe out their California major sports fans hahaha -

Oh I’m not willy nilly asking. We need a left tackle more than we need a right guard. -

On draft day I remember hearing Cyrus is versatile. Can he play left tackle? He has the size. -

Awesome! I’m not ready to break down the 18min break down at the moment, but I love the positive takeaways from our rook guard. I’m shyly pumped the Bills May have hit on picks 1-3, 5 in this draft. -
Oh they’re going to be sliding over A LOT. Problem is Brown will still be on the field when they do.. sucking at blocking the little men that get all up in his grill on snap. I need to go back and watch, but I have it in my head that Brown looks worst when the defensive guy gets right up in his chin strap initially and then uses his hands and feet to disorient the massive giant until it’s time to go right by him and pursue the ball.

Problems w/ the Two Kings of Buffalo
Thrivefourfive replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
The narrative came after the success in that first season as HC! Funny to think now, but McDermott was just another hire in a long line of hires for the Bills. Rex Ryan got people thinking Bills again, and McDermott was a pretty big step backwards from that excitement. But damn if he hasn’t been a greater success than anyone in Buffalo could’ve dreamed of at the time. I agree with you a hundred percent. I never thought Carolina’s defense was some great thing that set the league on fire. THANK YOU for breaking down so much stats-eses!! 👍 I didn’t even like watching that defense.. to me it was too passive, bend but don’t breaky, with one great player in the middle and a flash in pan elite corner, and a bunch of NFL bodies who didn’t screw up too badly. They had a stuff big guy in the middle too.. can’t remember his name. Oh, and another very good linebacker. So pretty good players. But that’s okay.. great DCs have made terrible HCs, and visa versa. I buy this move to HC/DC as a “culture” thing. That mysterious thing that just means “We care about being good people who play football. Look at us - We try!” It can’t be an X&Os thing. He’s been out of that game for so long, he can’t believe that his brilliant play calling is the missing link. So yes, I think it’s a power move to keep accountability, and it may or may not work, but it reinforces his dominance inside and outside the building. It’s like the rich not paying taxes,, once you get to that level you just play money ping pong with like-walleted individuals <— and when there’s no one else to play with, you play with your toys alone. -
What is that thing Diggs is doing after he catches the ball?? Looks so unfamiliar. Still hungry is a good question. But yes, Dawkins super hungry. All the time.

Love to hear what he really thinks! He’s so pissed about that piss poor performance. Well that sucks for Doyle. Let’s hope he’s the Sacrificial Lamb to the NFL Injury Gods for the season.

Problems w/ the Two Kings of Buffalo
Thrivefourfive replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
To mean I don’t like McDermott as much as you @Augie, I’m just stating that given the choice between his winning the Super Bowl as DC and not, I’m doubting it. My money is on - he won’t. Whatever that betting line is, I’m going against. I’ve got McDermott’s back as our HC. In fact, McDermott deserves even more credit than he’s been given. There are very VERY few GMs in the league that would hire over McD. He’s that successful. After 20 years of pain, McDermott has control over the division and wins 10+ every year. Be crazy to even think about dissing him at this money in time. Let alone the fact that you can’t,, because he is going NOWHERE unless HE decides to. I hear you on Davis. That catch was awesome. I love when receivers get their hand out above them and catch in stride. Looks cool. But I do think he still looks slow. We’ll see. Hope he busts out (again?), but I think the other pass catchers have more potential to wreak havoc on defenses. The OLine seriously need to figure something out. Like big boys do. It’s them and Allen, and it ain’t working. This play is too poor, and for this caliber a team, it’s unacceptable. Yes on Williams! I want to see more. He’s like a Life in the Fast Lane type of player, so there’s no time to waste here. Let him fly!
