Forward Pass or Fumble? What’s the Standard?
Rochesterfan replied to JGMcD2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No they don’t. They are always passes if it tosses it like that. The runs are the quick handoffs. This play is a forward pass and that is the exact reason they do it. -
Agreed - the bigger surprise to me was 3 different 1-7 teams getting wins. The Bills/Browns games was seen as a toss-up with the Browns favored and they won. So despite the records - the favored team won the game- it is not like the falcons beating the saints. I will take it a step further- everyone here complaining about the Bills and how hot the Steelers and Browns are - will guess what - they have 2 of their next 3 meetings against each other - so if they split as they typically do - they both get an additional loss - plus they both get Baltimore- so if they are as good as people think - both Pittsburgh and Cleveland have a good shot at 2 more losses minimally. There is still a lot of football left and somehow the Bills get destroyed for losing a close game that they were up in and had their FG kicker miss 2 kicks and a Tre White drop a game winning Int that either he or Poyer should of had, but Pittsburgh is praised for scoring 1 more point and the talk is how the Bills have no chance. I really do not get some people’s perspective on football.

R Incognito on Real Sports on HBO
Rochesterfan replied to TroutDog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is straight BS. There was on field issues/off field issues - that RI has acknowledged that lead to some decisions. The Bills worked on a pay cut and RI agreed to it. The rest of the stuff happened because of RI own doings. We do not know (nor should we know) what the Bills discussed with RI about his mental health struggles and/or if his decisions in that regard led to the pay cut. Just listen to the players and you know this sentiment is absolutely BS. The players talk repeatedly about the environment and culture and how much everyone seems to care. To even suggest they would just throw him out without trying to get him help is absurd. The fact that it took RI over a year to realize the help he needed suggests exactly where the problem lies. -
Come on guys this was easy I was over 100 and I only took it 3 times. I am sure with a could more I could bust 200 or 300. oh you don’t get to add the scores each time - man I should go to Harvard so I can QB in this league and I won’t wear gloves as a TE - plus my uncle is kind of famous. LOL

With the recent dt transactions oliver
Rochesterfan replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe if Taylor (or Kevin) threw for a 300 yard game in HS our resident crusader might campaign for them to start at QB especially if enough liquid is involved. Remember it does not matter if you win or lose - just throw for the magical 300 yards. LOL -

This makes no sense - the issues in Jacksonville and Buffalo are totally different. The Stadium in Jacksonville is already downtown and on the waterfront. Jacksonville has a totally different issue getting fans. The Buffalo fan base is getting older and the Pegulas are building up downtown. It makes sense to explore a dome and downtown venue in Buffalo. -
Nope - does not bother me in the least. The media is what it is. Where does the hype and good things get you? Look to the Browns and the Jets - heaped with praise this off-season. Up and coming teams with Super Bowl aspirations- now they are the laughing stocks of the leagues. The media is fickle and very poorly informed. I will take exactly what we are getting - a solid growing team. Just win baby - dominance matters next to nothing- you don’t make the playoffs by having 5 dominate wins - if you lose the other 11. Beat the teams you play and let’s see where we end up. The rest is meaningless.

Not surprised - they lost their back-up plan in Peko when he got claimed by Indy. This is the team finding out what is available in case of injury. I would not be surprised if a few more are looked at. I believe that is the play Cover1 is showing where he is getting held when AP cuts toward him and he held the spot for Johnson to make the tackle and Johnson misses low and Star is not in position to make the tackle and AP is on his back. Star did his job - the DB had to make the tackle.

Schein doubles down on Bills...
Rochesterfan replied to umangatan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How do you figure this? Gore is out rushing Shady. Gore is a better complementary RB to Singletary. Gore is a better role model for Singletary. Gore has been healthier throughout his career and this season than Shady. I am not sure what having Shady over Gore would do for this team.- 47 replies

Cole Beasley not being utilized right.
Rochesterfan replied to CEN-CAL17's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thank you - was just looking this up. Both He and Brown are on career pace for targets, catches, yards, and TDs. They are projected to be top or 2nd highest of their careers and people complain we are not running enough. Not sure how you run more - throw less - and then increase targets to Cole and Brown - while getting the TE and Singletary more involved also. I am looking as the team is just fine in how they are approaching the offense - they still need to clean some things up, but they have good scoring rate in the red zone and can drive the ball 70+ yards for scores. -

The way I look at it - every home game would be like a prime time game if they started at 9:30 am eastern time. They would be the only game on at that time slot every week - giving them a slot all to themselves. I think it would be cool for London, but I hate teams moving. There are a ton of logistical issues, but if they expand to 17 games and add a second bye week you could fix some of the issues. I still think they are a decade away from this being totally solved, but I think Jacksonville wants the London hammer to get other concessions in their stadium deals. -
I totally agree - I am just not sure if the remaining players trust him or if all of the blame gets heaped on Gase. If he retains any of the blame - keeping these players will be tough for Douglas. I also wonder if this gives a guy like Jim Schwartz a potential opening as a stabilizing force and a connection from Philadelphia? Or maybe Mike Groh with his Rams and Philadelphia connection and a younger offensive coach.

I honestly think the a Jets have put themselves in a very difficult place. The hired a coach that did not get along with the GM. Let that GM run FA and the draft where they got guys that did not fit what they wanted and way overpayed. Sided with the coach after the draft and booted the GM to the curb. Let the coach make trades for a couple of weeks while doing a token GM search. Hire a guy that was basically the coaches choice (he may or may not be able to run a team). Let that GM and coach go through a trade deadline where they traded a former top 10 for a 3rd and 5th and took offers on several other very vocal players, but refused to make trades because they overvalued the players. Now on top of a losing culture and some already toxic culture - you have a bunch of vocal players that know they are not wanted. Now the coach that you hired to fix everything you realize is a moron and now you are stuck with all of the rest of his choices - even getting rid of him - you still have his GM - so how much leeway does he have - do you let him hire a new coach, but if the talent does not come (FA May be Leary) - now you are firing a GM with a coach in place or do you clean house and get rid of the coach and GM and try to build this right? It is just crazy. Glad it is not us for once.

Peko released, Taylor to 53
Rochesterfan replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They might, but they do not have to decide on Dodson until after this weekend - so my guess is they bring back Peko and then see where they are after this weekend with injuries. I also believe they have a LB on the PS and with Taylor going up - they have no DL. I would suspect that by next week barring injury - both Dodson and Peko are on the PS and the other LB - Phillips is gone. I agree - everything I read from Miami was he played mostly 3 techniques as a penetration DE, but hopefully they have him ready for the game. -
Peko released, Taylor to 53
Rochesterfan replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I believe when they brought up Peko it was because he was the 1 technique DT on the PS to replace Harrison Phillips. Taylor has been more a 3 Technique to replace Jordan Phillips/EO. I think they saw Jordan play some 1 Technique last week and decided the combination of the 3 guys that can play 3T with some flexibility is better than Peko trying to anchor the line. -

Totally agree -
Peko released, Taylor to 53
Rochesterfan replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I imagine Peko will be back on the PS once he clears everything. This makes so much sense. Nice job. -
It is a match-up league and I think the Browns match up well against use unfortunately. They have talent and speed at DE - which seems to be our weakness on OLine - especially as JA struggles to get the ball out quick. Mayfield struggles with early and quick pressure and blitzes and the Bills tend to play more coverage, plus they have a stout running game. Overall - it would not shock me if this was a loss - not because of Whois better, but the match-ups each team has. I think the Browns still lose enough to not make the playoffs because of their undisciplined nature, but in our particular match-up - I do not think it is a good one for us.

Drew Bledsoe debate topic
Rochesterfan replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great Story, but Zolak is known to be a complete buttwad (want to go so much stronger) and is so full of garbage - this story tells me that Drew was probably awesome. I known he used to come to the Galleria late as it was closing and was nice as can be to my wife when shopping - she meet him a couple of times, but the store did not require tipping - so I can’t say anything about that. -
Drew Bledsoe debate topic
Rochesterfan replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Overall for his career - he should not be considered a disappointment. He was above average for a number of years for NE and lead them to a Super Bowl and a number of playoff appearances. He was named to multiple Pro Bowls and one of the youngest players to start in the Pro Bowl. I think he was in decline when he got destroyed by the Jets and that decline continued in Buffalo and Dallas, but to me he was not a disappointment - Rick Mirer was a disappointment - Bledsoe was good enough to win.
