Who are you rooting for next week? Cincy or KC?
Boatdrinks replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Would much prefer the Niners add to the trophy case than for the Bengals to get “ off the schneid” in Super Bowls . Mahomes losing another AFC title game at home would be a satisfying outcome though. -
This is my dream scenario for the NFC game. Hate Hurts and have since college ; never could stand him and I don’t root for the Eagles ever. ( two exceptions were the SB’s vs Patriots) I like watching the Niners and respect how they built their team. Purdy has been excellent and is a player you can root for with his backstory.

What Are Your Expectations For The 2023 Season?
Boatdrinks replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall
My expectations are for the Bills to improve the OL and WR position. I’d also expect them to solidify the S on defense and add a CB. I’d like them to make a major change to the D coaching staff , but I don’t expect it. I expect the Bills to win the AFC East and reach the AFC Championship game. Anything less would be a failure - as the 2022 season ultimately was- and a wholesale change to the coaching staff would be warranted. Just one AFC Championship appearance since Josh Allen emerged as an elite QB in 2020 is unacceptable. -
Agree. Interesting how Eagles fans talk them up, yet also bragged about what an easy schedule they had this season and they’d probably go undefeated. They’re good, but not some special team. The franchise has lost home Championship games before and I wouldn’t be surprised if the 49ers get the win.

That would be the best of all worlds. -
It’s a fair point. While the offense struggled the second half of 2021, the team caught fire in the playoffs. That may have been their best look to date at a Super Bowl. Often winning a title requires a some luck and a bit of lightning in a bottle. Even with a top QB and a good roster - and a franchise record tying W/L record you simply can’t pencil in great chances at a championship. It just doesn’t work that way, although the Brady led Patriots made it look routine and threw expectations out of whack.

For one day, you are the Boss: what you do ?
Boatdrinks replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Changing out large numbers of players is difficult, so coaching changes need to be made. It’s very possible the current defensive scheme has taken the team as far as it can go. A suggestion for Vic Fangio was made and that’s a very good idea. Offensively more talent is needed on OL and at WR. Those changes could yield the desired results. -
When he blitzes , Edmunds usually looks stiff to me; not really “ bendy” enough to excel in that role.

Old Buffalo Bills Message Board
Boatdrinks replied to Floridagatorsbuffalobills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Been here since 99. Had a different handle the first five years or so. Never even lurked on BBMB actually , though it obviously had its fans. Just wasn’t aware of it. -
Not sure the reason for the contrast , but definitely noticeable if you’ve given more than a few casual listens.

He is a team emoyee. He’s the sideline reporter and travels with the team from what I understand. He is definitely measured in his criticism but not as bad as Tasker and Brown imo

Single vs Double Elimination Tournament
Boatdrinks replied to ProcessTruster's topic in The Stadium Wall
Absolutely not. Single elimination is the beauty of the NFL playoffs. You truly only have to be better that gameday. Home field, bye week etc doesn’t guarantee you anything in the end. -
Exactly . Again , what do fans expect to hear from these team employees ? Any criticism from them will be mild and external factors will be emphasized. Go elsewhere for more critical content. Coulda used Matt Foley…
-
You felt that way The ENTIRE 9 minutes that was actually played? Oh wow!
-
They were better THAT DAY. This is all that matters in a single elimination tournament really. Plenty of teams have hoisted Lombardi’s due to this.
-
The only thing the last paragraph shows is that the Bengals are comprised of mental midgets. All playoff teams sell tickets to games on a “ if necessary “ basis. Bengals fans have shown their supreme lack of intelligence re: this on twitter as well. A walkthrough practice is not even worth mentioning.
-
Nah, the Bills peaked too soon and had key injuries up and down the roster. The Bengals win streak wasn’t much different from Buffalo’s, right down to a close win vs the Chiefs. The NFC north will likely be tougher next season as well. Pretty much a cakewalk this year and CIN still had losses to BAL and PIT. Timing is everything in the tournament.

Long way off. There will be contract restructurings and FA before the draft rolls around.
