Duke today, did the bad outweigh the good?
MPT replied to Mister Defense's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The play in the endzone was immediately after he got hurt and he was hit in midair and upside down. The other one was just a really good play by the defensive back to knock the ball out. He had at least 4 contested catches tonight that no other receiver on our team has made all year. He was our second best offensive player behind Singletary. His lack of speed and separation limits his upside as a WR but I'd like to see them try him as a tight end. He couldn't block any worse than Kroft and he has great hands in traffic. -

Or Allen getting tackled late on a false start dead play. -

2-9 for 24 yards with a fumble is as good as any QB? I mean, it was good enough to tie. But how can you possibly think that was the pinnacle of QB play? Many QBs, including Josh himself, have scored touchdowns to win in that situation. In fact, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a worse looking field goal drive. I'm not saying Allen was all bad, or even our worst problem, but let's chill with the "best any QB could have done" BS. -

Haha not blaming the refs by any means but here are two things they did in immediate succession that completely changed the outcome of the game. -

Four five yard penalties, two of which they took intentionally to make room to punt. The commentators made it extremely clear that the NFL was going to do their best to give this game to Watt and Watson. -
Playoff #1 Bills @ Texans PostGame Thread
MPT replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought our receivers played much better than usual this game. Brown had two plays he should have had, but Allen was a mess most of the second half. Fumbling, overthrowing, underthrowing, throwing deep to DiMarco (partial blame to Daboll for even drawing up that crap), two piss poor attempts at the end zone to end the second half, lateraling the ball to nobody with a minute left, taking bad sacks. Allen had some really good throws too, but he played far below what he's capable of. He was obviously completely shell shocked by the 4th quarter. Edit: the O-line deserves a lot of blame for Allen's performance. -

No, the refs cost us this game with that penalty. And the overturned kickoff TD. And the non-call delay of game on the Texans' 3rd & 18 play. And the litany of non-calls on their offensive line, and the litany of non-calls on their WRs' offensive PI, and the offsetting personal foul when their guy tackled our guy way after the play was over on White's forced fumble. These things were not our players' faults. -
Conner, McDonald, and JuJu only missed about 10 games total, but I see your point about the parallels of the defense carrying the offense. I still think their elite O-line and the presence of those guys for most of the year is better than what the Bills had in 2017 though (and yes I know our O-line was pretty good that year, but they weren't perennial all-pros).

I don't think he handled it terribly. What else can you do when your starter goes down besides rolling with the hot hand until they fail?
-
I don't think that's accurate at all. They still have arguably the best O-line in the league, a very good defensive line, very good defensive backs, and a good running back. They lack LBs and WRs but it's hardly a "rag tag" group. I still think Tomlin has done a good job considering the QB situation, but it's nowhere near the lack of talent McD was working with.

[Edited title] Duke williams should play
MPT replied to Marvlevydraftdaygenius's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Before that 41 yard catch, he had more yards in this one game (with the backup QB) than Foster or Roberts have had in 15 games total. He is tied for the second highest season catch percentage of any WR on the team and has the second highest yards per target of any player on the team. Obviously, it's a smaller sample size so I'm not saying he's better than Brown or Beasley, but it is undeniable that he can indeed catch the ball. Edited to specify WR catch percentage instead of all players. The RB's pretty much all have higher catch percentages than anyone else. -
Are you embarrassed to wear Bills gear?
MPT replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My Bills hat got a little embarrassing once I wore it enough that it flopped around loose on my head like a kid wearing a size too big. So that one is now retired to a closet and I have a new one. But no, it's never embarrassing to rock Bills gear. I live in NYC so I interact with fans from a lot of different teams and I've gotten some flak for the Bills, but it's easy to ignore or give some ribbing right back to them. I'm thinking the guy that OP talked to meant that the team has been embarrassing for most of the last two decades. If he were actually embarrassed to wear Bills gear, then he wouldn't have worn it to begin with.
