Redzone execution = Superbowl for this team...
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just learned yesterday Jack Handy was a real writer on SNL. I always thought it was a made up name to go along with the deep thought skit. -
Wilson's QB rating is 2 points higher than Allen's rookie year. I would give it more than 8 games before deciding if he is a bust or not.

18 game season is better. Expand roster to 58 players. Get rid of all the pre-season games. Keep one if you absolutely want to. 2020 they had none and the product on the field was no different than 2019 and 2021. Every poster on this board could have accurately predicted 50-52 of the players they kept. The bottom 3-5 guys are all interchangeable with a PS guy anyways. No need to risk injury in a pre-season game. 15 real games and they still couldn't figure out Bates was the best option at OG, and PS DT is dressing for games while a 2nd round pick is not. A glorified scrimmage isn't going to help them figure it out anymore than what they see or don't see in practice.

Pretty sure a bunch of people posted this same thing for the Jax game...let's hope the Jets pack it in early. I think they gave their all against Tampa looking for something positive at the end of the season. Yes they could play to keep the Bills from winning the division, but my sense is they would have rather beaten Brady. I think they fold quick if we can get out on them early. This is a week where McD should not defer if they win the coin toss.

Wonderlic Test Eliminated from Pre-Draft Process
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Wayne Cubed's topic in The Stadium Wall
It would be very interesting to get an honest assessment from GM how much they weigh combine performance into their thoughts. Jerry Rice did not run a 4.3 40. They can see if guys can separate on film. What does running a 40 yard dash from a sprinters stance have to do with football All good probable and valid reasons. Just watch the tape and talk to the players -
Good post Are you going to the Jets game or staying home

Wait…. Antonio Williams is back?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in The Stadium Wall
It took 16 weeks to get Bates in the starting lineup and the same time to get McKenzie in the passing game. Davis is still fighting for snaps with Sanders. I like Moss pass blocking and catching out of the backfield. I really think he is excellent used in that way. I've been consistent in my complaints of having Jones on the roster for just STs. It would be interesting to see Williams get a few snaps in a meaningful game. I would have never kept Jones nor Gilliam. I would have had Singletary, Moss, Brieda, and Williams my four backs all year with Williams taking a few snaps at FB when needed. -
Who you guys pulling for in the NFC

If not Buffalo, then I would like to see Green Bay win another championship. -
Week 18: Jets at Bills - a W wins the AFC East!
Ethan in Cleveland replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
The same thing we did for 17 years. How do we find a franchise QB? Nobody talked about the weather because we were too busy discussing the lack of talent at the QB position and draft prospects at the end of the season. Now that the Bills have a QB you can talk about all other aspects of the game -
I was at the Bills Raiders playoff game - coldest in franchise history. I was also at the Bills Arizona Cardinals game that was hit with insane winds. Those were the two worst home weather games I can recall until this year's New England home game. Bills Colts with Peterman at QB, KB at WR, and Shady scoring in OT has to be up there as well.
-
Jackson is a good to great QB. Baker is at best good. That said I would not sign either to an extension. They already have the 5th year guaranteed and they can franchise them if need be. Do exactly what Dallas did with Dak. The cap is going up and there will be room to carry a QB on a tag for at least a year. That gives both teams two more years to figure it out. I expect Cleveland will figure Mayfield is not good enough and will move on after 2022. However his shoulder injury this year could explain some of his bad play. Allen had a few bad games with an injured non throwing shoulder and that did not require surgery. So if Mayfield is just average next year they can decide he is not worth a huge contract and save those dollars for the other first round picks on that team. Then maybe they make a trade for a veteran QB.
-
Mayfield probably won’t play either. As of late that is probably a good thing with how poorly he has played. I’m too lazy to bother to look up who the backup QBs are for both those teams
-
To beat all 32 he would have to beat the Bills as an opponent. Hope that never happens. Still having nightmares seeing Thurman Thomas in a Dolphins uniform....

Confused by a stat graphic Fox kept showing
Ethan in Cleveland replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall
It was so painful but yet so odd. About every 15 or so plays he would say something that was very technical and was really insightful. But the other 14 plays were complete nonsense, entirely inaccurate, or just jibberish. -

Ethan in Cleveland replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall
is that really true? -
That is a sweet schedule for me. Both my boys are in college in Chicago. I would rather see the Rams new stadium than Arizona (been there twice already plus a few more times in SunDevil stadium). Could Bills Lions be Thanksgiving game again?

Week 18: Jets at Bills - a W wins the AFC East!
Ethan in Cleveland replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
First I dont believe you need to build a team for bad weather. Brady and Rodgers never had great power run games playing in New England and GB. However that said, Its not as if he hasn't tried. Moss is a power runner. He drafted Ford. He extended Williams and drafted Brown. Morse is the only lineman that is much better in pass protection than run blocking. Dawkins is adequate in both. Feliciano is better at run blocking. Hell you can go back to letting go of Spain, who was an elite pass blocker but did nothing in the run game. -

What/when was his injury? I missed him coming out of the game? -
Career-worst single-game passer rating
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
100% agree -
Yes and no. 6th year since college. According to the stats I saw he was not on a roster or maybe he was injured or on PS with Denver for only 1 game in 2018.

Career-worst single-game passer rating
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thats QBR I think if they needed to pass more in the second half he would have and his passer rating would have climbed. It was good to see the rushing TDs late in the game but those could have also been pasing TDs if Daboll wanted. Sorry but there was no excuse on the red zone pick. It was a bad decision. Agree on the OP comments on #2 wit hehe added caveat that Beasley was held 10 yards downfield and #3. -
McKenzie has been in the league for 6 years. So your first point doesn't make any sense. Of course I don't think Allen should be benched. My point is it is stupid to bench a RB or a KR for a muff or a fumble to send a message, just as you wouldn't bench Allen to send a message. If they are the most qualified to do the job let them do it.
