Defensive problems-just my opinion
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to BuffBills51's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What was most bothering me was those outside runs being totally uncontested at the line of scrimmage and going for 8+ yards consistently. Wasn't the sideline to sideline cover ability one of the most celebrated Edmunds abilities? Instead our LBs were always clogged in the middle. I don't know if it was too easy for the OL reaching the second level, if our LBs were attacking the wrong gaps, or if our DE was losing the end contain, but it was painful to watch. And the missed tackles. -
Anyway Schwartz defense did not blitz almost at all, relying on DE getting to the QB from the wide 9 position. Problem is that we had Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes in his prime, back in the "Stampede" days, now we have Trent Murphy.

My take is that our defense falls apart WHEN we are blitzing, middle of the field is left completely open and wideouts have too much space to work 1 on 1 with our CB3 and CB4...

Postgame Thread: Bills at Titans
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills played without heart, with the only notable exception of Cole Beasley. You can see that on Allen second interception, Beasley, being the smaller player on the field, was the only one hustling to make the tackle, the other ones played soft giving up huge chunks of yardage. WHAT THE ***** WAS GABRIEL DAVIS DOING ON THAT PLAY, IF I WERE MC DERMOTT I WOULD BE FURIOUS. Mistakes happen, lack of effort is inenexcusable. -
Old School Football
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am a fan of strong defenses, 13-10 hard fought football games when every first down must be earned. It can be a matter of schemes, lack of pre season, lack of audience, referee calls, but this year I see offenses having a stronger will and passion and hustle than defenses. I see a lot of miracoulous contested catches, running backs breaking incredible tackles, qbs escaping the pressure and delivering at the very last instant... It seems that iconic defensive players bringing the HEAT on the football field are gone, I am thinking of players like Troy Polamalu, Ray Lewis... I don't know if others share the same thoughts. -

PI Call Giants Bears
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to BillsShredder83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree, but only because the hit arrived way before the ball. In case of a bang bang play I will give the possibility to the DB to play "through" the receiver, I saw a lot of DPI called in this case. -
PI Call Giants Bears
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to BillsShredder83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In my opinion it is a borderline call, if the receiver is not moving WAITING for the ball, the db must have the right to play the ball thus making contact with the receiver. As the rule is ruled right now, I fear this is PI... -
Greece area Bills bars?
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As a European guy, reading this topic I was like "man, he will never find a Bills bar in Greece, what is he thinking???". -
"Mamma butta la pasta!" (with a strong american accent) From the Illinois Native Dan Peterson, who had a great basketball career as a coach here in Italy and become famous as a commentator of italian basketball and NBA. He used to say the famous catchphrase at the decising moment of the game, even if there was still time to play, the game was over and everyone could tell their mom they would be ready to have lunch!

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You cannot develop herd immunity to this epidemy without sacrificing too many lives. Too many people will need artificial breathing and there is no enough treatment for everybody. And I am talking about people in the 30/50 years of age. Now that there are BIG hot beds that went over control the only way is the lockdown italian way, also UK understood this and after he told the worst things about how we managed the infections he is simplying copying our laws. After the big hot beds will be over, you can copy what Korea made, that is trace EVERY case and lockdown only the positve spots with the use of local mass testing and technology to follow the chains of infection. Italy is experimenting this with success in small centers in the countryside. -
There are a lot of reasons of the italian outbreak, one can be the one you posted. In my opinion one of the main reason of the spread is how the problem was faced by private health care at the beginnig. There is some debate here in Italy, but I personally think his is the crucial point. Health care in Italy is mostly public, but in the latest years, lot of "cuts" were made, and laws were enacted to regionalize it. Long story short, in Lombardia, the "epicenter" region, there are a lot of private structures. When the epidemy was at the beginning the public stuctures closed their ordinary departement and converted them to treat the covid. All the visits that were not "matter of life and death" were postponed to face the epidemy, in order to keep the structures free for the covid an for not risking of infecting the patients. Some parts of ordinary departments were kept open, but they were completely isolated from the covid departments. On the contrary, the private structures didn't want to postpone or cancel the "ordinary visits" because the did not want to lose money, so they kept all the departments open. Covid patients came to the structures and spreaded the disease. There are a lot of evidence here in Italy that public stuctures followed the protocols in a better way, while the private ones trasformend into covid "cores".

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yes, extreme measures are beginning to give results, I was expecting the lowering of the cases one week before (15 days after the decree) so I was very pessimistic until today. Today it seems that the lowering trend is for real. -
Yes I am ok thank you, from that day I worked from home. Never left home except for bring out thrash and buy food. One sunday I left home before the dawn to go running in the mountains close to home. Now running is forbidden too, so I make gym in my living room to try to keep in shape Speaking of covid, here in Liguria the situation is under control, but in Lombardia the thing is very serious, maybe we are close to the peak, I hope so.

Lombardia hospital are close to maxum capacity. "Intensive therapy" capacity is 25% full, nationwide. Patients will be send to other regions, hoping that epidemy won't spread too quicky. I think that now if a person would have, let's say, a car accident in Milan, he should be transferred to another region to receive treatment, if he stays alive in the meantime. It's serious. In my opinion in ten days things will getting better, but I don't know if the thing will be over, in Hubei it took 48 days of COMPLETE SHUTDOWN.
