This once Juggernaut offense scores under 20 every week against bottom half defense over the past five weeks. We still have the same players. Dorsey is the problem.
-
Time to look up some options for day trips and weekend getaways in the southern tier for the next 8 weeks.
-
I would have rather seen Von comeback in week 12 full swing than 2week 6 as a sad shell of himself.
-
Defense has actually made an admirable effort. No excuse for the offense.
-
I agree. The opportunity is gone for this group, but Allen is still young enough to have another shot if we retool and take a year out for a mini rebuild.
-
This is not a playoff team. Period.
-
Surprisingly he has not been bad(for him). I was expecting him to be intolerable tonight.
-
By having the refs arbitrarily decide to call a phantom penalty three minutes after the last play.
-
That first half was a perfect snapshot of everything that is wrong with the Bills and the NFL this year.
-
If you are the Giants you have one forward pass and 2 interceptions in almost six quarters with DeVito. There is no reason to keep him in. Put in Matt Barkley, Run a wildcat, anything has to be better than this.

So far I have learned this week that a defense can get a roughing the passer for a routine sack (commanders/patriots game), but an offense can regularly get a away with an illegal wedge block where an entire offense line is off-sides because the play has a cutesy nickname. Welcome to NFL 2023.

Roughing the passer for a sack? Not even a commanders fan and I'm pissed. Not even the talking heads could come up with a valid excuse for that

Chiefs v Dolphins in Frankfurt Germany
dgrochester55 replied to Aussie Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall
"That is no foul for holding" Translation. Ref had that holding call ready to go in case Miami did make a completion. -

Refs aren't going to let Miami back in this game. -
Chiefs v Dolphins in Frankfurt Germany
dgrochester55 replied to Aussie Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall
I really can't make myself cheer for either team. Who would I rather have win? Maybe the Dolphins, only because we already beat them and a Chiefs loss would be nice in the event that Buffalo gets it together enough to battle for the #1 overall seed. -
Bills sign DT Linval Joseph---Elam to IR
dgrochester55 replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
There goes McDermott and Beane's favorite time passing game of "who would you rather have active at CB than Kaiir Elam?" McDermott: Let's play "who would you rather have active at CB than Kaiir Elam" I'll start, Cam Lewis Beane: Nice one, AJ Klein McDermott: Good, my turn, Poona Ford Beane: Lol, my turn Jason Elam McDermott: Hilarious! My turn Josh Norman Beane: Okay thats a little far fetched. You're not serious about that are you?.......are you... -
Week 8 - Around the NFL (i.e. NOT a Bills thread please)
dgrochester55 replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was surprised too, you don't get benched on an under .500 lower tier big five football team for a QB who was essentially a running back with an arm at the time and miraculously become an NFL qb two years later. -
Week 8 - Around the NFL (i.e. NOT a Bills thread please)
dgrochester55 replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ouch at Devito's numbers. You would figure that any NFL QB could at least get a couple of screens or check downs for positive yards if they play in a half, but maybe not. -
There would be no way to make football economically sustainable in some of these states. For example in Wyoming, you have a state with less people that Erie, or Monroe county spread out over an area nearly twice the size of the state of New York, there is no way that they fill a stadium of 60,000-80,000 every week. Expansion to 50 teams would water down the competition level to a point where there would be a level if difference between the top and bottom tier of QB, Oline, and defense where any given sunday is no longer possible. The only way that this is feasible is having 32 NFL teams with one Farm team in an NFL Europe type spring league. 64 Teams could cover the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, A few cities in Mexico and the Canadian Provinces. With one farm team for each NFL team Example Seahawks-Washington Seahawks Farm Team Idaho Saints Louisiana Saints farm team- MIssissippi Edit from later in the day-Look at how Devito played on the Giants today and imagine that on a few teams each weeks. That is what you would get with 50 teams.

Football is less fun Roger Goodell ruined the game I'll rake leaves instead

I'll likely run Red Zone in the background while I work on other things today. As far as watching a full game, between the announcers, the commercials, 10-20 injuries per game and the refs dictating the pace and sometimes the score of the game, it is very hard for me to do so if it is a non-Bills game. If you watch a full game now, you are likely to see the Verizon annoying guy interrupting a birthday party commercial more times that you will see an exciting play that isn't called back. I liked the NFL much better than the "Roger Goodell's football themed sports entertainment show sponsored by Draftkings" that we have this season.

I am happy to be 5-3 and to win after the low point of last Sunday. Both units vastly improved, but McDermott did an awful job in the 4th and the team gave Tampa way too many opportunities to hang in there. That effort yesterday does not get us a win next week against Cincinnati or later in the year against the Chiefs or Eagles. There is still work to be done. We just have to take it one game at a time and hope for continued improvement in ten days.

Agreed, the first penalty was ticky tack and that Phillips face mask doesn't happen if the refs blow the play dead five seconds earlier like they were supposed to. It's fair to say that nearly every single football game that I have watched no matter who is playing has had some type of issues with the officials this year. It is a real problem and the NFL needs to address it. For what it's worth, the point spread yesterday was 9.5. In the slightly possible but unlikely event that Buffalo had not run out the clock and kicked a field goal to make it a two score game, the final score would have been 27-18. I hope everybody enjoyed the NFL sponsored by Draft Kings last night.

Great turnaround by Allen. The offensive line was good and the receivers outside of Diggs finally stepped up. All of this against a decent Bucs D. Defense was better, but they caught an offense with a bottom three running game in a major slump. My biggest concern after today was the coaching and management at the end, it almost felt like we were daring the Bucs to make a comeback. I feel a lot better than I did Sunday, but also think that Buffalo will lose to KC, Philly and Cincinnati if the play like they did today. Five and Three is not bad considering everything they have been through and this is something to build off of.
