It's true that coaching could be an option. If it playing bug eats at him, the other leagues. Kind of weird that if he had been on a team with established QBs, he'd never seen game time field, but would have collected quality paychecks for much longer with his brains and good practice/pregame showings. Having some real chances with the Bills basically cost him money!

Wyatt Teller: Pancake Papi
Jerome007 replied to FeelingOnYouboty's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I looooove pancake blocks and yes, I too hope he can replace Incognito because his plays are missed big time this year. -
Bad thread starters should be fired! Ridiculous, so is the title of this thread, but I get it's a knockoff. As for Barkley being the "found" backup QB, IDK his contract detail. Was he signed just for this year or longer? I can't wait to see Allen play again. Daboll had a great game plan, his best so far. And he should look similar for Josh.

THat would be awesome LOL But yeah, I'm shocked the Bills have not really used his strong arm in the last 3 games he played. I'm still glad they chose a deep pass as his first ever preseason play. Of course it matters little if he hasn't accuracy, good defense reading skills and blablabla. But to say it doesn't matter? Don't be a party pooper. I'm sure we will see a few jaw dropping plays from him. And all Hail Marys he throws will have everyone on edge.

Matt Milano Head Injury - In Concussion Protocol
Jerome007 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, if a stinger or concussion, it still better than what I first thought. I was relieved to see him move! From the first look, I thought he was paralyzed. I was shocked commentators didn't see it or even mention it. I mean, he dove for a tackle and then was completely motionless for a while! How can you miss that? -
[Name Only Title] Wyatt Teller?
Jerome007 replied to Dave Allen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jets were playing uninspired indeed. So let's see more before evaluating Wyatt. His college highlights showed a lot of pancake blocks and man I love those, and he got some today. That's a plus for sure. But come on, all the OLine played well today. And one even caught a TD pass! -
Love that chip on Foster's shoulder
Jerome007 replied to ChicagoRic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Foster and Jones and even McKenzie, which didn't know was on the team ha ha, contested balls. KB dropped his as usual. Zay is going from bust to might be a good #2 or #3 guy. -
Le'Veon Bell Will Sit Out for the Entire 2018 Season
Jerome007 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's an elite RB, and BTW I love me some Shady so don't want to downplay the position, but the OFFENSIVE LINE matters more- hence that's where the money should go first. The Steelers proved it this year as they barely lost a step without Bell. And when the Cowboys had the best one for Elliot and Prescott rookie seasons these two looked like superstars, while the line is diminished now and they look OK, no more. Yeah Mahomes is playing awesome, and his Wrs, backs and TE are off the chart in talent as a group, but again that OLine is one of the best. Not coincidence. If Bills fans can't see how losing Incognito hurt badly this year, maybe you should pay more attention when watching games... The duo Incognito-McCoy was MONEY. The Bills OLine is the least paid in the league this year and the offense is the worst, with all QBs except Allen having horrible stats, and even Josh's numbers are damn low compared to his obvious talent. -
The Nonsense about Camp & Preseason
Jerome007 replied to PUNT750's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Training together and preseason help build chemistry between players (like QBs and receivers), learn some nuances of the playbooks, etc. To say it means nothing is ridiculous. But 80% of the plays and timing and skills are there already if you're a NFL level player! But a good 10-15% of the remaining 20% is earned through training and playing together, video sessions, meetings, etc. The final edge is earned through focused playing and added work. So while I do think 80% is the same so players could move from team to team easily without too much obvious adjustments needed, that extra 20% matters a lot, especially for QBs, and makes those small differences in games between winning and losing. We all hate the Cheatriots but it's those small differences (and suspect favorable ref calls and spying) that affect a few plays here and there that have made them so consistent throughout the years. -
Keeping Tyrod would have been way more costly in cap space! They would have had nothing for free agents. It's like you want to find any reason to bash Beane And if Allen and Edmunds become great, it will have been super wise moves. If they bust or are gone within a few years, quite the costly gambles. But I like that they go for broke and aim high, staking their jobs on it, rather then playing safe with 8-8 seasons. People bitched and moaned about that, and now it's all about having used to much picks for potential stars! At least they have guts.
-
You guys are harsh. He made a lot of mistakes, and some moves didn't pan out. And he explained the situation pretty well, including that Tyrod's cap cost was a big factor in trading him. IDK what people expect him to say? Beg on his knees? His 15-1 and 6-10 Panthers mentions are on point to anyone who has played any team game. Just like the playoff 9-7 Bills season was an anomaly, this awful season could be too though the offense sucks so bad - but he does have a point, good players are not just stocked on a shelf for GMs to pick them. Anyway, it's all on the next two years. But if they lose as badly next year, they won't (well shouldn't) see 2020. Otherwise, the plan has been obvious, he explains it well, and this season sucks. Even more so if Allen and Edmund see little playing time. Otherwise, now that deception is digested, this year is judged on the young guys' progress. Too bad some good older players like Shady, Kyle, Lorax might not be here or too past their primes. And I wonder how vets feel being led by rookies... Crazy that Eric Woods not playing uses more cap space! They sure didn't plan to lose him!

Josh Allen is all that matters
Jerome007 replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes. By design. To get that elusive "franchise QB". That draft was considered the year of the QBs. Way too early to know if it was the right decision, but it was well worth the risk, and made sense. People have criticized the Bills brass, whoever it has been, for only "stocking the cupboard" but never addressing the most important position, QB. They did. What is the right move? Nobody knows yet but you can't fault them fort going all out. Next year and 2020 they have lots of draft picks and big money. This will decide what the future of the team is. That and Allen of course. -
Josh Allen is all that matters
Jerome007 replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They hoarded picks so they could select high for a QB! That was well known. People are never happy. I agree that the strategy will hinge on how well Allen does, but it was a calculated move. They hoarded picks so they could then trade to move up in the 1st round of the draft this year. And guess what, they have a lot of picks and cap space in the next two years. So the plan makes total sense! It remains to be seen if it's executed well or not, if they pick the right players and set them up to succeed. That certainly remains to be seen, but very sound strategy IMO. -
Josh Allen is all that matters
Jerome007 replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly. Things can turn quickly in the NFL! Both upwards and downwards but come on, easy to improve this current roster. At worst it'll be same level, which would be going down as FA and draft picks would have been misses. I know the Bills have been on the losing side for years and are currently one of the NFL doormats just after making the playoffs, and that is hard to take, but the "everything will be bad forever" crowd are tiresome. Keep the exact same coaches and players but add just one very good OLineman and one very good WR, put Josh back in, and suddenly a lot things become better on offense, defense is as good but doesn't have to be on the field so much and on and on. The Bears and Trubinski have got from 30th offense (and a supposed bust) to a top 10 offense in a year. Ravens looked good early with the added WRs. Raiders have been the doormats, then a serious playoff caliber team, now back the cellar super quickly. This year Bills have the least paid active roster of the NFL, the OLine by far the least paid. Hopefully they get some quality players next year in FA and draft. They have the $$$ this time. McD and Beane's reputation depend on next year's draft and Allen's success or lack of. -
Peterman actually played quite well!
Jerome007 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm defending him on this thread, but as a 3rd stringer, and did mention he only played average, if that. He failed at being a starter for sure, but from now on, barring injury like now, he is not asked to be a starter and certainly not paid as one. I just find him not paling ever again in the league is an overreaction. -
Peterman actually played quite well!
Jerome007 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed on the first point. But a lot of 3rd stringers have no upside... let's not sugarcoat what goes on in other teams. -

Jerome007 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Part of the job... if you have one. Well boohoo at the WSJ mocking him and the Bills. You don't make a man lose his job for that. I would have been fine with him getting cut this year, but find it unfair to do so after the last game. Unless the new QB shows some good enough stuff to be the 3rd stringer now, with Allen and Anderson soon coming back as 1st and 2nd. -
Peterman actually played quite well!
Jerome007 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes but he is not paid at all as a great QB, was a 5th round pick, and was thrown in as a starter while the obvious plan was for Allen to replace him at some point. 95%+ of us agree he is not starter material, but what many fans want is for him to be punted out of the league. His LAST showing was NFL level for a 3rd stringer. He's getting the heat for all that is wrong on offense and that's pushing it IMO. -
Peterman actually played quite well!
Jerome007 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He failed big time at being a starter. But is he really worse than most 3rd stringers? Often times these guys are not set to start games but have to be ready to come at any time and take over. He seems to know the playbook well enough, is ready, he just doesn't have the arm strength. Anyway, not my decision to make and it shouldn't be that controversial a topic. Questioning McD's judgment on QBs? Sure. Questioning Beane's judgment at having only 2 QBs for so long on the roster, not getting some OLine or WR help this year? Sure. Mocking Peterman all the way out of the NFL? A tad pushing it, as if he had become the focus point for all the anger the fans feel. -
Peterman actually played quite well!
Jerome007 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, I partly agree. IF, and it's a big IF, we forget about his other two starts, it would seem he had an OK game with a bad supporting cast and unlucky bounces. Because of his prior short history, the 3 INTs look awful but they were not. Still it was a very average dink pass kind of game, but the few times he did throw "long" they were damn accurate, and it's also true he wasn't confused by the Bears D. Basically, he would have seemed like a decent 3rd stringer or occasional backup. Not a starter for sure, but not either deserving of all the crap thrown at him. Meanwhile guys like Clay and Benjamin are making over 10 times what he makes and get some criticism but not to that extent. Such is the life at the QB position but McCarron couldn't cut it, Anderson's stats are almost as bad this year on this team, and even Allen's stats are bad. All QBs for the team this year suck, OLine is the least paid one by far in the NFL, receiver group might be the worse, so it's kind of unfair to run Nate out of the NFL but who said life is fair? -
Why do we never throw the ball down the field?
Jerome007 replied to Brianmoorman4jesus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's not a video game but I still agree with the premise of this thread: since short passes and runs aren't working, try a lot more long passes! Sure most won'.t work but what is going on now isn't either will little payoff. -
Josh Allen is all that matters
Jerome007 replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That and the multiple blowouts should make McD uncomfortable. A losing season he gets a pass, 2019 is the test, but losing that badly, and seemingly not caring more about the offense are red flags indeed. Allen needs help to develop! They better surround Allen with talent this offseason! Priority #1. Their success and Allen's are connected a lot so they better have a sense of mission doing so.
