NFL WEEK #4 - Bills at Ravens - 1st Half Thread
Nelius replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
McKenzie should get 10 touches in the second. Lots of flaws on this offense but feed the guy making plays. -
NFL WEEK #4 - Bills at Ravens - 1st Half Thread
Nelius replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Does McD know the timeouts don’t roll over to the 2nd half? I was screaming at my TV -
I'm a can of Dinty Moore beef stew that has successfully made three moves and still survives in the back of the pantry.

Update: Xavier Rhodes signed by Bills
Nelius replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
I have no idea who Kyler McMichael is. Sounds like a kicker from Boise State auto-generated in Madden '11. -
Yeah Miami's a terrible place. The city has sucked for 30+ years and they're going to kill their quarterback.
-
You think? I've watched it repeatedly and have it pulled up right now - I thought he snapped the back of his head harder against Buffalo. He was ragdolled a bit and whipped to the ground but it wasn't anything like an open field hit that a blindsided receiver might take for example. I got to assume Josh and most QBs jump right up after a roll to the ground like that. Exactly why that reaction was probably due to multiple head knocks.
-
He had 18 touches last week. He didn't have that many touches until Week 14 of last season. He was ridiculously underutilized very early last year. For comparison, he had 13 touches against Washington week 3 of last year, so his usage is actually increasing. Josh targeted him 11 times last week. Quiet +1 for the Motor fans, trust the process.

I don't see it. If they put up that many points then our secondary is completely dead and we generate no pass rush. They don't have that many weapons. Not as many as we do with a QB that's putting up even better numbers. Dobbins should be back to somewhat full strength and could pop at some point, if he's actually healthy. Averaged 6 ypc his rookie year but I doubt he suddenly pops back up this game, didn't look very good last week with limited carries. Caught a couple passes though so should be active in that role. Hall's prediction that it will be a low scoring game is clearly the dumbest of the dumb. He barely even connected that first sentence to the rest of his take, as if he knew mid-way how awful it was. The Ravens have given up the most passing yards per game going back to the start of last season now, and Tua's historic 2000 yard - 12 TD performance shows that they haven't learned a thing. Points will be scored.

Where does insanely quick release work into this new arm metric that's being created? I've been pretty impressed by Tua's quickness and zip, even last week after clearly being concussed. Agree he doesn't have a noodle arm. Maybe like a smaller, quick reflex slingshot arm.

Yes. I remember going to games during the drought at the original gigantic Lodo's on Market and Bills fans were 100+ deep. Great scene with a ton of fans, very few of us are actually from Colorado thus the "Native" bumper sticker that you may encounter. You should have a blast. Temaki Den is about as good as it gets (Sushi Den is also great, same owners but a little different). That whole RiNo district you'll be in is pretty interesting, has changed a ton over the last decade. You could burn a day around there easy, maybe two if you want to brewery hop (and/or dispensary hop). There's also a lot going on in the South Broadway neighborhood and Congress Park along Colfax which I guess they call the Blue Bird District now after a historic indie music theater. I'm a dad who hasn't been out much in years and this city changes every month. Meow Wolf is this crazy new interactive art museum / almost art amusement park / acid trip? It's really hard to describe but it's gigantic, right near Mile High, and everybody loves it. I haven't been to the Denver location but I've gone to the original one in Santa Fe and it's really unlike anything I've ever been to. It was kind of like the game Myst in real life if that makes any sense. If you have time to travel outside of Denver a bit then yeah Garden of the Gods is great, maybe even mandatory if you've never been near mountains or rock formations. But note it's well south of Denver near the Springs. You can also go the other way toward Boulder which I think is equally if not more interesting if you've never been. Flatirons are great for outdoors, Pearl Street great for people watching, booze, shops. I'd choose Garden of the Gods if it's your absolute first time near Colorado, but both are worth it if you have time. Hope you enjoy!

Watching the Burrow post game interview and poor Joe could barely hide his cringe when Tony went into that Lamar Jackson "kung fu jiu jitsu" stuff. Everybody has a look on their face like c'mon Tony. Agreed, he's not as crisp as the rest.
-
They're going to kill him. How in the world can he be "fine" and back with the team? I thought that same thing last week, but after this hit?
-
I was on the other side months ago thinking that we had enough help, but the lack of Knox catches and really lack of anybody but Diggs really stepping up is a little concerning. I agree that no other team has 4 great outside receivers which was my exact argument months ago, but we almost seem to be below average at this early point of the season. We're certainly not oozing offensive talent to the point of having too much as many people said earlier in this thread. Opinions can be updated, especially in regard to injuries and non-performance.
-
No offense to this poster but this was the consensus a month ago, and look at how poorly it's already aged. "So many good WR"? Nah, we have an incredible QB, with one guaranteed good WR right now. The fantasy argument is pretty dead considering the amount of injuries already this year. For me at least, I think it's more like, hey this guy is a living breathing wide receiver that put up 11 TDs in a season before and we need some help. I'm completely open to better ideas. If Gabe gets or stays hurt, or even worse (god forbid) Diggs gets hurt are you cool with more Kumerow and, uh, McKenzie? That's about it.
-
Is this the most recent Golladay thread? Three games in and do you really want McKittrick as your 2nd/3rd reception option in the endzone? There's a lot of hilarious off season dismissal of offensive talent in this thread and I don't think that's the way you do it. We look to be 1 or 2 offensive pieces short. I don't know who else is possible but this guy scored 11 TDs in a season and his coach seems to hate him.

Boomer Esiason suggests the Bills should trade for Barkley
Nelius replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall
Scanned the thread and am surprised that I can't seem to find this yet...can't we just get Golladay for nothing at this point? Give me that instead. Daboll clearly doesn't like him, send him our way old buddy -
He's leading the NFL in passing yards? Cam never lead the league in passing yards and Josh isn't throwing to himself. I sort of get the point because some of the talent hasn't blossomed yet unfortunately and Gabe has been hurt, but it's not the same situation at all and clearly people are helping Josh. What a half baked take I'm still not worried about our backs who were running behind nothing last week. And Moss still popped a 43 yarder. I'm good with one of those once or twice a game as long as they can pass block well. It's one of the weirder timeshare situations in the NFL, I get it, but if they actually had a healthy line to run behind one of them would likely do something per game, as they often do. I used to listen to Cowherd when I had long commutes and even then it was painful, it's been downhill ever since. And I know he's been hyping the Bills for some time now, but even a lot of that has come across as uninformed sound byte laden attempts to appeal to a very large and growing fanbase. Not a fan.

Hrrrmmm might have to wait and see about that. Jets have actually scored more points this year. Jerry's boys have been the most confusing franchise for the past couple of years in my opinion, I thought they were SB sleepers within the last year. Clearly not anymore. Letting Cooper go was dumb and the team has needed a healthier dose of Tony Pollard for about 2 years now. They still only let him sniff the ball 5 times a game, which he'll take for 50 yards, all while Zeke still plods along at 3.5 yards per clip. Dumb team that could honestly be about as bad as the Jets this year. Eagles are set to lock up that division by about Week 12.
-
He hit 58 his rookie year and 57 last year so that's very solid long range. That miss was a weird kick, just looked botched from the start. Initial reaction is to worry about Martin being the new holder but Bass is 4/5 already, and Martin's surprisingly punting pretty well too with 3 of 4 punts in side the 20. So it's hard to say any aspect of Special Teams is an issue, I think that miss was just a random fluke and Bass has a leg that you can normally trust within 50, and have hope for up to 60.
-
They're very painful and really not a joke...unless pics like that exist, sheesh.

I hate the injuries of course but also the fact that nobody else has really stepped up on offense after Diggs 3 games in. McKenzie maybe, but I just don't trust him as a real second or even third option, I just don't think he has the best football brain and ball protection skills. Knox hasn't done much but I get that he had to help protect Josh last game. Gabe has really been inconsistent despite the residual high from the playoff game and then Week 1. And that's pretty much it. This offense is great on paper because of Josh, but we don't seem to have the big multi-weapon offense that a few of the other top tier teams do, including Miami unfortunately. We need a playmaker to step up, or else need to find an actual playmaker. If Diggs went down (god forbid) this offense might get real boring real quick.

I remember being in direct sunlight when the Broncos came to Buffalo back in 2017 for a late September game. It was a hot one for Buffalo, I think the temp broke 90, might have even been a record or at least close if I remember correctly. The direct sun was almost unbearable. I came away with a gnarly sunburn (despite much suncreen and hat) and it just wasn't the best experience. This was barely 90 degrees with a maybe 70 degree dewpoint with direct sun, so I can't even imagine if you dial that up another 10 degrees with more humidity. The NFL also seems to love their extreme weather games with Buffalo/Miami. Just knock it off, this isn't pro wrestling and you don't really need the weather drama. Both teams are good again, try giving them an environment neutral game for once.

Why exactly are we favored by 3.5 in Baltimore?
Nelius replied to Adamb412's topic in The Stadium Wall
You're missing the fact that Baltimore has given up the most passing yards through 3 weeks, which works for the best QB in the league. Their defense has been awful. Granted that's inflated by the Miami game, but as we just saw, Josh is worth at least two Tuas. But even if you dismiss their Miami game as an outlier, they also just gave up 26 to the Pats (lol). They also gave up the most passing yards per game last year. I personally think Baltimore has some serious issues and am surprised by how many still rank them as one of the very top AFC teams. I've even seen them in some Super Bowl picks. I don't even think they take their division.
