Game Thread: Green Bay at Dallas 4:30 PM ET on FOX
Ethan in Cleveland replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
I cant stand Stephen A Smith but I might just have to watch him gloat over this one. That said I did have Bills Dallas in the SB. So there goes my prediction -

No way Seattle can hire this retread Quinn after this debacle. -
Random talking head says something about the Bills
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is such a dumb take. There is a periodic risk for every team in Florida, Louisiana, and Carolinas for hurricanes every Sept and Oct. The same risk of snow is present for every team in the NorthEast and upper Midwest. I'm in Chicago today and the city is basically closed down only for cold. It's not even snowing. Oh yeah and how about those earthquakes in California. They took out a world series game. You never design or staff a system for the extremes. That is foolish. You prepare for emergencies and have contingencies. That is true in business, medicine, and also in football. -
Khalil Shakir might be my offensive version of Taron Johnson
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm sure I'm in the minority on this board, but I hope Gabe is back for a deep playoff run. He makes big plays in big games. He makes difficult catches even as he drops easy ones. -
Khalil Shakir might be my offensive version of Taron Johnson
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
Exaclty. Shakir is a decent option at slot. If they had a true speed guy at #2 the top 3 WR could be great. My issue with Shakir is he doesn't seem super quick like the elite slot guys like Edelman. But so what he can be an effective #3. But just to be clear #3 WR in this offense might still be 4th or 5th in targets when you add the RB and TE. I don't see him getting 80 catches out of the slot like Welker or Edelman did. -
Super wild card weekend schedule is all wrong
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Xwnyer's topic in The Stadium Wall
In your scenario thuis year Bills would have played on Monday night in Miami returning at 4am and then at best playing Saturday night. That is far worse than playing second round on Sunday again against a team that played on Saturday. They only way to make it completely fair is to do all neutral site games and play it like a tournament. Which will never happen. -
Game Thread: Miami at Kansas City - Peacock exclusive

Dude we are playing Mason Rudolph and no TJ Watt. If it is even close it is embarrassing -

Wonder if McDaniel will tell the media to F off again? -
Game Thread: Miami at Kansas City - Peacock exclusive
Ethan in Cleveland replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
15 rush attempts in a freezing game that was close until the start of the fourth quarter. Top RB averaging overc4 YPC. Don't ever call any coach a genius. These guys are morons. -

Did they really collapse though? Only one win against a team with a winning record. They just aren't that good. -

Tua sucks KC is beatable Anything less than AFC Championship and McD needs to go. They have chance for two home playoff games after barely making the playoffs. McD and Allen need to take advantage of this opportunity! -
Browns @ Texans Game Thread 4:30pm
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Flacco with 10 INT in 6 games! LOL Can't wait for Cleveland AM radio on Monday!!! Funny thing is if the sex predator hadn't been hurt they would not have won 6 games. Now Stefanski probably wins coach of the year and gets an extension. Though maybe this terrible loss will give them pause. The GM Berry that orchestrated the worst trade in NFL history was also expected to get an extension. Now maybe they fire him too. Should be fun to watch.... -
Game Postponed! - To be played Monday at 4:30pm
Ethan in Cleveland replied to phypon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cleveland fans think it is a foregone conclusion they will win. Flacco has 8 INT in 5 games. Stroud has 5 INT in 15 games. Cleveland D is for real and already has a win at Baltimore. Hoping Texans beat the Browns so I can listen to their fans lamenting life. The Flacco hype is so ridiculous. -
Game Postponed! - To be played Monday at 4:30pm
Ethan in Cleveland replied to phypon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'd take Bills and Allen in a dome over playing in this nightmare weather. -
Except we haven't been running the ball that well. Outside of the Dallas game the run game has been pretty bad the last 5 or six games. Take away Josh and outside of the Dallas game the RBs are getting less than 100 yards per game and less than 4 YPC. Hope they can find some success because the pass offense is struggling too.

This is better for the players and for the Bills! Probably a lot less Steeler fans in the stadium as well. All those dams that were going to come to the game probably will dump their tix. -
If I was James Cook I'd be picking Shady's brain all week
Ethan in Cleveland replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
If I was James Cook I'd sub out for Fournette. This game begs for the bigger back. Fournette can go over 100 this week. -
Has the team lost complete confidence in Bass???
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
I highly doubt that. If he couldn't make a 46 yard FG they wpuld find someone else. His kickoffs are going through the endzone. His leg is fine. McD rightly trusts Allen more than Bass. We all should. Our only hope is riding #17. McD finally seems to be getting it. And he didn't miss two FGs in Philadelphia. One was blocked. -
Why do u say that? What was Bernard asked to do differently than Edmunds ? Or vice versa? They play the same position in the exact same defense. Both played deep coverage. Both blitzed. There is nothing that I saw all year to suggest Bernard was asked to do anything differently than Edmunds was the prior 5 years. Bernard is just a better player despite Edmunds being bigger, stronger, and faster.

Sam Martin named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agreed. I'm sure they will bring in some competition next year. They have a ton of draft picks so taking a flyer on best college punter would be wise. -
Sam Martin named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
He was terrible at the beginning of the year. Even McD said it. But he had been better this last month. Good for him to play better and kudos to McD for sticking with him. -
Brandon Beane was right and we were wrong.
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beane is good to very good. Just dont call him a genius as many do but the OP did not. Lots to agree with the OP. But... Ttmhe OP gives credit for not signing Edmunds to a long term deal but forgets it was Beane who gave up an extra second round pick to move up and draft him. Many of us wanted Allen. But we have no idea what Beane's board was. If the Jets or Browns take Allen it is more likely than not Beane would have been fired by now. My biggest miss was on Bernard. I really criticized Beane for the draft pick and not having a better option to replace Edmunds. Was wrong on that account so far. Bernard has instincts that Edmunds will never have. He is a playmaker. As for the OL, he has had more than his share of misses. He's overpaid for guys and had guys on second contracts really crap out. But his faith in Brown looks reasonably well deserved and the starting 5 and depth guys in 2023 are the best we have had since the SB years. WR is still very hit and miss. Obviously he hit it out of the park with the Diggs trade. Almost every other WR trade or draft pick is middling at best. TE. I am an unabashed Knox fan. Like the Kincaid draft pick too. Hopefully we find an OC that figures out how to use both. I'm not criticizing the Miller deal. I praised it at the time so I can't rip him now that he is injured and unproductive! My second biggest miss was Oliver. Didn't like the pick at the time and didn't like the second contract. I would have let him walk but he has been very good this year. He's still not a top 5 guy but he is also not being paid like a top 5 guy either. Currently ranked 12th in salary which feels just about rightm -
**Breaking News** Pete Carroll out in Seattle
Ethan in Cleveland replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in The Stadium Wall
He got fired. Not retiring -
This is a dumb rule. It should be the same enforcement as if the offense makes a penalty that stops a running clock. You either are forced to use a timeout or there is a 10 sec run off. If the defense has a TO they should be forced to use it or they take 10 sec off clock and start the clock on the snap. That would at least be consistent.
