Sammy Watkins puts (injured) foot in mouth
foreboding replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sammy is a flat earther? He must have been a denizen of Parler. -
Frazier a “Serious Candidate” for Texans HC gig.
foreboding replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the replacements are already in the building. -
Seems many are basing their estimation of this game on (1) last year's Raven's game and (2) last weeks win (you know the one where we didn't blow out a good Colts team). Regarding Item 1, the loss last year to the Ravens. Josh Allen today vs. then, enough said? Still, it was a one score game, lots of mistakes, six TO's! Item 2. Failure to detonate... ...on the Colts. First of all, does anyone remember how horrid our field position was in the first half? Do we not think the Bills would have done more, were they not always so backed up? Plus, oh yeah, we won, a tight game against a team that was playing their best ball. Bills should win. We got plenty of thoroughbreds, all we need is a few players to make a few key plays.

Our girl Kim Jones is on board! -
Will Deshaun Watson get traded? Could he land in AFCE?
foreboding replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I doubt the Texans do this. But...their cupboards are bare and Watson is unhappy. Tua + both first round picks this year and a 2nd from next year and both teams could be win/win. -
We of all people, Bills fans, have gotten spoiled. We expect to win by 17 these days. Imagine that?! Here is the reality: the colts gained the most yards of any team in history, with no turnovers...that lost. It was the best game the Colts can play and when it mattered most we made stops, kicked the long kicks and threw the long td passes. Great character win for our team. The Colts we saw today were a SB caliber team, we got the best version of them, and our boys got it done. It was a grinding, disciplined and solid win.

Why? Would we not prefer to keep the exact same system? You want to bring a coach here and teach him the Daboll system when we have 1 or 2 (at least) who should be able to take up the hallowed mantle of continuity...

Is this the greatest Bills weekend in last 25 years?
foreboding replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like our shot against any but having to beat raven and chiefs seems excessive! 😂 -
Week 15 Bills @ Broncos Postgame Thread
foreboding replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
My God! I am so happy. For all the fans, current and past, for all the players for any era...we can all say it with pride. WE are the Buffalo Bills. "Is thing on? Cause it's about to be." --quoted from a current bills fan, happens to be a former coach -
The 1st AFC East Title of the Kelly Regime
foreboding replied to Motorin''s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was at that game, it was stressful and holy crap exciting when we won, I did not run on the field, but I remember we all passed the posts up to Ralph in his suite. -
Ha Ha Ha! Same. Thank God, as I think leadership is less about being a Mensa as opposed to be "smart enough" and having the right mindset as you said. Here is why: growth mindset people ARE NOT threatened by the intelligence they surround themselves with. The smarter, the better, when you are not "fixed" into a small view of yourself and the world, you can easily find the best people.

I can tell you from personal experience, formal adoption of growth mindset has changed my life and I have mentioned it several times here over the years. I resist backsliding to a fixed mind and so reading more about it and talking with like-minded people or folks who love the message is motivating. It is easy to trapped into a fixed mindset (society encourages it), but it is toxic. When you start to find the most value in the actual learning, your entire life is transformed. You no longer spiral, you instead see a mistake as a fantastic learning tool and thereby, always gain something from any meaningful interaction or event. You can hear it reflected in the words of our team's players. They own the mistakes but also make good by them. It is why Josh is growing so quickly. No failure, just another chance to learn and grow. It is a process, you don't just change overnight, but Coach is teaching these young men a lifelong philosophy that will forever guide them. Selfishly, it bodes well for our football future.

Herbert looks like the real deal, doesn't he? Unless he regresses next year. I do not think he will though. Herbert, Allen, Mahomes and you also have Joe Burrow. Lamar is a game wrecker, but what if he can no longer rush for 100 yards per game?

Great post OP, but I think what you described is a result of the process, not the process itself. Sean's process is built around the idea of a GROWTH MINDSET. This was crystallized in the seminal work of Carol Dweck. Sean mentions the growth mindset, often. Read her book, phenomenal. Anyway, the crux is this: and it broadly categorizes folks into two categories, Fixed and Growth mindset. Fixed people hold dear the things that define them. I am faster, the smartest, richest, the best looking..." whatever it is, and they can be nearly delusional in their attempts to prove and remind us all. They do not handle coaching well (they already know everything) and public failure is anathema to them. If you try to challenge their precious self-image they will not react well. Think of public people who mirror this mindset, politics is a great place to start. Growth mindset people/teachings view life as a process. When you fail, it present an opportunity, rather than you being a failure. An opportunity to say "cool, what can I learn from this?" Growth mindset people not only want feedback, they crave it as every meaningful interaction brings growth and that IS THE reward. Learn and grow is the continuous end, it is the process. In a world that encourages the individual, this process breeds accountability and community. The natural result are more humble, hungry people who are on a road to success that will never end. Sean has done a masterful job, but it starts with him. If he is not on that same road, it is hypocrisy and we know that is always found out.

Encouraging words for the Bills
foreboding replied to 60’s Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There was definitely smoke of a sort involved in this post! -
Bills will be a tough ticket next year
foreboding replied to vanhalen26's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know of several folks who have died, well-intentioned, good folks. Some were also the type who would not get a vaccine. You do it not only for you, but for your fellow people, in this case, your fellow Bills fans. If we all do it, this thing will be over much sooner. It is a kindness for all humankind. -
Prioritize which upcoming UFA’s to re-sign

How can you not love Milano? But availability is the best ability and he misses way to many games. Keep o-line. -
