All your juicy Odell Beckham gossip
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
$20M/year, wow. -
Bills fans just have this mentality to always look for a reason and defend at all costs. He’s not a rookie, 6/11 games below 40-yards. One 100+ yard game. It’s okay to say he’s been a disappointment. The big play is still there, the nose for the end zone is still there, you’re just not getting many dynamic plays with him running full speed, breaking tackles, or routine plays. He looks like he has remained a specialist.

I agree, I think Phillips gives the DLine unique size that we generally don’t have going back to the Kyle Williams years. And I agree, the postgame shows have not talked about it all. Good thing is there were 6-days until the first practice next week from Thursday night. Banged up Bills always gives you the scorched earth possibility of rotator cuffs and broken collar bones. Hopefully it is a shoulder sprain, and he’s back out there. I assume McDermott talks to the media again Monday?
-
He rolled an ankle in a walkthrough before Week 2. It’s now Week 13. What kind of ankle sprain keeps you out 1-week, but hangs around the next 11 weeks?

If it looks bad they react to the crowd and call it. Simple as that. Hamlin did his job and separated the WR from the ball with the shoulder. Oh well.

The obsession w/ how Josh Allen runs
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
Josh is in Year 5 and Tony Gonzalez can't wait to ask him about sliding and getting out of bounds. And Josh said there has been plenty of talk about that. I just don't ever want our Coaches to take away his aggressiveness in the run or the pass. I don't want McDermott constantly in his ear to slide, or take the check-down. One of the other posters here had a chart where it showed QBs aggressiveness by expected yards gained verses turnover worthy plays, and Allen was virtually alone in the aggressive category. You want him there, not checking down, all game. We've asked our OC to get more people besides Diggs to get involved and help. Last night it was McKenzie again, and sticking with the run. Allen has 3 TDs if not for a Tommy Sweeney hold. -
This was the key in my eyes. Just sticking with the run even if you were only getting 3-4 yards. But your other point is key too. Cook not getting just 3-5 token carries. He got the ball the same amount as Singletary. You have this game, Cleveland and Tennessee, which show what Cook can do with 10+ carries. At some point a big run will happen.
-
I’ve said it all year. Cook is fine, just get him the ball. Singletary is 4.5 ypc and steady as they come. WGR pushes the don’t ever run narrative. Bills possessed the ball forever tonight.

I’m kind of Over the Hines Experiment
Straight Hucklebuck replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
He made one play tonight, and at least we saw the return of misdirection motion presnap. He was doing that a ton. -
A few observations from the opposing team fam
Straight Hucklebuck replied to PatsFanNH's topic in The Stadium Wall
From the Patriots perspective I would question why they seemingly gave up in the second half? They weren’t even trying to score out there, just dumping off to Stevenson. Punting down 3 scores. -
I just don’t understand why the Bills can’t seem to run anything for him over the middle of the field. Nothing ever comes to him in stride. He’s used as a dump-off option on the sidelines.

Would Cole Beasley come back to Buffalo?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
John Brown is desperate. Cole Beasley is desperate. Beckham would be a legitimate player. -
Especially in key moments where McDermott and Frazier play overly soft coverage and don’t do anything in the front 7 to allow conversions. A great point you make and I don’t think this is getting enough discussion, is you only have 6 games left. So there is not a lot of time to practically get more of a route tree for Gabe, or start using Knox over the middle, or suddenly develop a screen game with Hines. Diggs just works, and the Bills have leaned into that. But nobody else seems to be on an upward trajectory. There is no rhythm to what we do.
-
I think it is time to see some play-design from our OC. The Bills need to play a clean game. Does anything look easy tonight? Do we get some 20 yard plays again? Or is it more of Josh Allen having to run for his life, making a living on broken plays, having to drop sideline dimes for toe-tap catches all night? Same as the kid (Phil Rapold) who was rooting for the Giants in Super Bowl XXV.
