Ranking The Last 25 Years of Week 1 Opening Games
Ethan in Cleveland replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree that loss to the Steelers was so deflating Me too! Same experience! Oddly calm most of the game, thinking Allen would turn it around. -
Agree I like the depth and adding talent at DT, Edge, and Corner. You can even say they added a possibel big nickel S with the kid from Ohio State. Would be nice to see Bosa,Solomon, and this kid play well enough to get rid of Epenesa. That said Epenesa made a few more plays last year than he did the year before. He and the rest of the DL disappeared against the Chiefs. They are still thin at LB but at least 2 of the three (Bernard, Milano, Williams) stay healthy they should be ok. All three can play either LB spot if needed. Yeah that's how I felt too. Lots of quick throws so hard to tell. I don't think he made an inside pass rush move the entire clip. No spin move. Give him a year to learn from Bosa should help. Bosa may be the most important offseason acquisition on defense.

The Battle for Jobs at Safety and Corner.
Ethan in Cleveland replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Good list. I agree with the list. Not sure if McD will keep two rookie reserves and start another. I think Hancock has a better shot of making the 53 than Strong but I would keep both. Might come down to White vs Jackson for the final reserve CB spot. -
The Battle for Jobs at Safety and Corner.
Ethan in Cleveland replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Harbaugh's Chargers held Chief under 20 pts both times they played them. Pegula had a chance to upgrade the head coach and didn't. The defense got torched again in the playoffs. Bills would have won the SuperBowl last year with Harbaugh. McDermott is 7-7 in the playoffs. Dan Reeves was 11-9. Marv Levy was 11-8. Both with multiple SuperBowl appearances. All three with HOF QBs and you can argue Allen is playing better than Elway did under Reeves and Allen is better than Kelly ever was Only Schottenhemier was much worse at 5-13. We have a HC problem. McDermott seems like a genuinely nice human being and he is a wonderful ambassador for the fans and the city of Buffalo. Those are important things but they are not as important as winning a Championship for our city and our fans. I got suspended last time I posted all truthful statements as I have above and my opinion. Probably will get suspended again. But there are more and more people like me after every playoff loss that say it's time for a change. McDermott has been giving every resource on defense. He has new players at every level of the defense and as Beane has pointed out has a top 5 offense mostly returning intact. Barring injury to Allen, it has to be SuperBowl win or McDermott needs to go. -
What is your favorite totally random Bills game?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to T.E.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
So many to choose from... I will go with Bills Cardinals storm game, November 1990. I was in college and drove up and back for the game. -
Leodis ran a 4.39. He could run with almost anyone. But he was too dumb to play the position.
-
Careful. You can't criticize McDermott on this board

Who is our worst match up in the AFC as of now?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
We can beat any of them. I think Baltimore, KC, and LA Chargers could all beat Bills in the playoffs. Baltimore and Chargers can run on our defense. Not sure Chargers have enough in the passing game with their current WRs. Of those three I am least worried about KC. Kelce is a corpse out there now. KC o-line is worse. Jones is still dominant but he is getting older too - he will be 31 this season. I understand the fear of Cincinnati but I think they have a bottom 5 defense again and probably will not even make the playoffs. -
NFL.com's top 10 games of the 2025 season.
Ethan in Cleveland replied to SoonerBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm going to guess they repeat the opener from last year with Baltimore and KC on Sunday or Monday night. They will save Bills KC for Nov again. -
Which position group is weakest today?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
Punter is the worst skill set LB is the most precarious S is the most unknown CB has the most potential upside WR is the most intriguing -
Atlanta Falcons’ DC’s kid pranked Shedeur
Ethan in Cleveland replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Mason Graham got pranked as well by someone pretending to be Stefanski. But they called him after the Browns had already called him. It was recorded. It was a Buckeyes fan and Graham is from Michigan. Still don't understand why the father got fined for the son's actions? NFL trying to send a message so their signature off season event doesn't get tarnished. -
I didn't say it was an easy catch. But it hit his hands. Even he would say he should have caught it. It's not an indictment of the player or indicative of future issues. It actually is reassuring that he was injured because that would explain his lack of deep targets last year. Almost everyone during the season was questioning why he was mainly running 5 yard out patterns and not the deep seam routes like the TD he scored against the Steelers in the playoffs. He has enough tools to be a great WR even if he will never be a great blocker.

Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)
Ethan in Cleveland replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
To be fair to the Chiefs, in both those SuperBowl losses the Chiefs oline was also injured. Against Bucs both OTs were out and against Eagles the LT was out forcing their All-pro LG to play LT. Doesnt change the narrative. Bills need to get more pass rush. Bengals Oline was devastated with injuries and they never got close to Burrow in playoff loss. Hopefully Beane solved the issue with the mix of FA and draft picks for the DL. -
Hope he bounces back. He had a knee injury. He dropped the ball with his hands. It was a difficult catch. Elite athletes make difficult catches look routine. You can't blast Steph or Davis for their prior drops and give Kincaid a pass. If he can be a 80 + catch guy with 7 TDs it will transform the offense.

Big Badazz Beane on Pat McAfee today
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yah and if you change the name from McDermott to Schottenheimer or Reeves you would be saying a change needs to be made. The defense is why the Bills Gabe not been to a SuperBowl not the WR group. And that falls on McDermott. Defend his success all you want, but at least Reeves and Levy made it to the big game. -
Not one RB drafted or undrafted FA signed
Ethan in Cleveland replied to ElMarko's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cook will probably show up and not practice at TC. He's the most important player on offense after Allen. They will add one more camp body to keep the reps down on the top 3. Cook 6.5 Johnson 3.2 Davis 2.0 Those were the YPC in the KC game. But somehow he is not on the field for the final drive. Stupid. -
Buffalo Bills Consensus Draft Grades
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
B becomes an A if Hairston starts immediately. Everyone else important fills key rotations on the DL. SuperBowl or bust. Beane gave McD more than enough parts to fix the defense in FA and the draft. -
Nor does ESPN. He's so bad he doesn't have a draft profile. Looks more like a guy that will deliver your refrigerator than a NFL WR. 11.1 YPC is impressively bad.

Don't see Gabe but Cooper yes. Samuel played better down the stretch so there is hope there.
