Finding defenders to hit and putting them on the ground. Love that attitude, and this team was missing that last year.

I like Joe, but Jack Buck was one of my favorites for years. But as he started to get older, he really started to slip. It happens to the best of them, if they stick around a bit too long.
He was calling Monday Night Football with Hank Stram as his analyst. I love me some Hank, but even he was getting a bit long in the tooth. Still had a lot more on the ball than Buck by that time. Here is my (only very slightly exaggerated) recreation of a typical play-call exchange between the two:
Buck: The quarterback drops back and, and it's caught by the.....receiver guy...for a big gain. Hank?
Stram: A nice 3-yard completion for (x QB) to (X WR).
Many of them stay on a little too long. It tends to happen in professions when people love what they do, especially when their identity is tied to it.
As for Joe... He’s knowledgeable and never screws up. He’s just better suited to baseball, golf, etc. He just doesn’t bring any passion and personality to the more exciting sports which IMO is a necessity for football, basketball, boxing... Being paired with Troy doesn’t help either.

You sound sleepy!
Two decades of overnights Wednesday through Sunday equate to a lot of Joe Buck narrated naps during summer.

Golf for me. Either way it’s the difference between a Pavlov inspired Saturday nap or a Pavlov inspired Sunday nap. ?♂️

"What male play-by-play announcers have voices you simply can't stand?"
My answer to that is Joe Buck. His voice is the aural equivalent of watching paint dry.

Allen has about one play per game (or three vs. the Pats***) where he gets "lost in the moment" and tries to run around and play hero ball. It's the primary reason why several of these wins have been closer than they should have been. I think he needs to take that number down to one play out of every four games.
Favre had 2-3 of those a game. Difference is that Favre managed to make 4 out of 5 positive plays. Then there were all the throws that would’ve been picks with a weaker arm. Like Favre the hero ball will never go away with Allen. We’re probably going to experience 2-3 years of WTF mixed with “how’d he do that” before Allen wins more often than not on those. IMO, that’s what’s going to define his ceiling. We’ve also been spoiled by Mahomes.

What Stank said.
Power rankings are standings (quantitative) +context (qualitative). I may disagree with some, but it is what it is. I mean based on the same logic, you could say that Buffalo should not be ranked higher than 9th because they are not winning their division.
To be fair this team could possibly finish 13-3 and not win the division.

Unless Mariota survives and catches fire down the stretch he’s destined to ride some pine or be this offseason “veteran placeholder”. The Bills don’t need either service.

Well... if Anderson cheap-shots Brady’s knees 5 seconds after the throw while staggering around like a drunk guy, as he tried to do with Josh.
15 yards, a 1st down, and an ejection.

I feel like I need to take a shower after that game.

Booger is gonna throttle a ref after the game.

Oh they’re not going to overturn anything, but that was PI and should have been called.
It should have. I was saying that the refs have been not calling PI all year and refusing to overturn it.

Just now, Boatdrinks said:
If that’s not PI then what is
Nothing. They’re not overturning a damn thing. Plus, it feels like they aren’t calling PI as often either.

I agree @dave mcbride. It’s silly that it was ever implemented at this point and it needs to be scrapped as the refs are absolutely pushing back against being questioned.
I’m waiting for a QB to start with The Longest Yard nut shots

It’s obvious to me, and should be to anyone paying attention. The league caved in due to backlash and embarrassment , but honestly reviewing / overturning non calls is terrible for the game. It’s like that stupid blue line challenge thing in hockey disallowing goals that happen a half minute later. Any NFL fan knows that lots of ( technically) PI things go uncalled, and most would prefer to “ let them play” except for egregious infractions. The league has essentially sent the message to not wast your time or your timeout unless it’s a huge missed call and probably only in the playoffs or playoff berth deciding situation.
Yup. Basically, it exists for situations like the Saints game or the Fail Mary.

This team wants the players it picked up to be given a shot 1st. This is why Duke has been brought up and Zay traded. We are not giving up 1st rd picks for any player that comes available. We also will be better able to determine where we need our improvements next year by letting the talent we do have get an opportunity to prove itself.
I know many have a lack of faith in unkown players but I have faith in Beane and McDermott to find those players who exceed expectation. But you have ot give them a shot to prove their owrth before you start brining in bodies at the trade deadline, which costs precious assets.This love affair with AJ Green and Diggs to me is nothing more than brutally impatient Bills fans that always think the grass is greener. I for one am enjoying the Beane McDermott approach, and my confidence is high in the duo.
IDK. I’m certainly not for Green: old, often injured, and going into FA. Diggs though is 26 and signed through 2023.... Fits a long term plan as well as improving this season. When you consider that this team will likely draft in the 20’s trading a 1st for Diggs wouldn’t be contrary to Beane’s team building approach.
That said, I seriously doubt Diggs gets traded, especially during the season.

I'm not sure why, but it still kinda baffles me that some people expect these rookies to come out of the gate as if they're All-Pro already.
The college game isn't doing much to prepare OL for the pros right now. Guys barely line up with their hand in the dirt and there isn't a whole lot of scheming. Takes time to get used to the speed of the NFL game and it takes time to develop skills these guys didn't really work on in college. I think Ford will be alright. At worst he's a capable RT, at best he could be a Pro Bowl guard. He's five games into his NFL career, let's pump the brakes a little bit before we go calling him a bust or saying he was drafted too high.
Exactly. There are only a handful of power 5 programs running a prostyle offense teaching technique that translates to the NFL.

Rivers. Done.
I’m kind of hoping they put Tyrod in so Rivers doesn’t get killed.

It’s scary to think what our D might do to Fitz. I know Fitz gets it out fast, but Phillips is a beast & Oliver is thirsty for his first sack. My expectations are they play Fitz knowing Rosen will get beat badly against our D. I expect a the game is close and we blow it open in the 3rd.
In that circumstance it’s entirely dependent upon which Fitz shows up; Fitzmagic or Fitztragic.

Career stats so far:
Rosen:
18 games 477 attempts 54.5% completion rate 12 tds and 17 ints. 3.6% int. rate
Allen:
17 games 483 attempts 56.1% completion rate 15 tds and 19 ints. 3.9% int. rate
Guess Allen sucks too?!
Yea, laughable.
Allen definitely looks better when you add the 11 rushing TDs.

We're rooting for Miami, right? Imagine if all these tank moves only got them the #2 pick in the draft.
That’s the hope. I want to laugh hysterically when they either 1) can’t get Tua, or 2) are blackmailed for an extra 1st to get Tua.

I agree and would add the game broadcasters to the mix. Troy Aikman is brutal. He's usually very biased toward one team, comes across a bit whiny and is Captain Obvious at best with his color analysis.
Joe Buck makes it hell. The guy announces games like he’s describing Tiger putt at the open.

Week 7: Dolphins at Bills (-17)
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
You may have gone off. ?. I like the middle ground between Buck and Murph. Granted, I grew up with Al Michaels being the guy, and tend to gravitate towards that. It’s really voice inflection. However, I do think Buck might be a lot better if partnered with someone (anyone?) other than Aikman. That and Buck is a bit more lively when announcing MLB games. JMO?♂️.
My biggest gripe though is the failure of broadcasts to replay what announcers are talking about now. Years ago they did a much better job of that... perhaps the broadcast teams are waiting on referees to replay??? IDK. Just seems like outside of Sunday and Monday night that part of the broadcast is lacking.
