Mutual Admiration Society: Daboll and Allen
somnus00 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Don't you think an OC should consider the strengths and weaknesses of his players when designing an offense? Or should the OC just run "his" system regardless of the personnel? Honest question. Not being a smart@ss. -
Mutual Admiration Society: Daboll and Allen
somnus00 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What Daboll should be saying is, "Josh had some difficulties with x, y, and z. So I'm helping him succeed by scheming a, b, and c." Instead, he's saying, "Josh had these problems with my offense... but he'll figure it out." Maybe I'm reading into this too much. -
Is Tre White worth top corner money?

This is why we can't have nice things. -
Marcus Peters gets 3 Year, 42 Mil extension
somnus00 replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pay Tre, Beane. But please do it before Jalen Ramsey signs his new contract. Thank you. -
How did we lose to the Eagles?
somnus00 replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Something happened to this team after Cleveland. I think they realized that their biggest obstacle was themselves. This has been a different team since that game. -
Watching the Giants get decimated
somnus00 replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the bills are a better team than today's score would reflect. I think we will beat the giants. But I would caution against overconfidence. I hope the team doesn't feel the way some posters, here, feel. We're not an nfl juggernaut... yet... -
Has anyone tried this? NFL-themed beers...
somnus00 replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love a good stout...when it's cold out. Also, I don't know if stouts are good for tailgating. I can't really drink more than 3. To me it's more of a session beer. -
Welp - I'm off the Josh Allen bandwagon

Uh oh. This is the Dakota Fanning thing all over again. -
Albright when asked where DK goes...
somnus00 replied to *******'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't understand the love for Metcalf. Yes, he's an amazing athlete. But not a very good receiver. He does not fight for the ball. He needs to be wide open to make the catch. And he's not agile/fluid enough to run good routes. Too muscular. Just my opinion. I choose production over combine stats. -
First thing I thought of when I saw him was, "Maybin." Then I watched him play. He's actually as good (in NCAA) as Maybin was hyped-up to be. But I'm still concerned about him being able to get off of NFL linemen.

Daniel Jeremiah mock #3 (Hockenson to Bills)
somnus00 replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Hock is a great prospect... But how often is a tight end a difference maker? Just my opinion, but I wouldn't take a tight end with a top 10 pick. It's a bit of a luxury pick. I want d-line help on this team. We need it. -
D-linemen are bigger and faster. Linebackers can run 4.4 these days and still remain fluid. And the safeties... I disagree with you. Barry would be good. Just not great these days. But damn was he fun to watch in his prime. Never knew if it would be negative 3 yards, or a 60 yard td. Thanks for the conversation by the way.

Today's NBA is different. The players are bigger, faster without sacrificing agility. It's just a product of improved training, nutrition, etc. Jordan would still be good because, as you said, the time gap isn't too large. But I doubt he would dominate. By the way, I consider Jordan to be the greatest because I compare him to his contemporaries. Thanks for the comment by the way. Not being sarcastic.

I don't understand why Jim Brown loses points just because he played against smaller defenses. That was part of him being so amazing. Someone his size wasn't supposed to be that fast and athletic. You compare athletes against other athletes of their age. Jordan wouldn't be Jordan playing in today's NBA. Barry wouldn't be Barry in today's NFL. That doesn't diminish their greatness. They were generational talents. Greats. But in my opinion, no running back dominated his era like Jim Brown. Bo Jackson could've been... we were all robbed of his greatness.

I love Simmons. I think he'll drop further than people think.

Full Intelligent Breakdown of DK Metcalf
somnus00 replied to Scorp83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
An elite WR makes plays. Greedy ate DK's lunch. Being an amazing physical specimen doesn't automatically make you a great receiver. -
Josh Allen discussed on The Rich Eisen Show | 4/19/18
somnus00 replied to mykidsdad's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've been skeptical of Allen all along. He wouldn't have been my choice at 7. But it's always been easy to see why so many were enamored with him. He's a physical specimen, played great at the Senior Bowl, smart kid, etc. Now that he's a Buffalo Bill, I'll be cheering for him on Sundays. I can't wait to find out that I would make a horrible GM. I feel like some people secretly hope he stinks just so they can point out that they were right about Allen. I, on the other hand, want to be wrong. -
True story. Something to keep in mind when looking at this picture: Josh Allen is 6' 5".
