I believe I read that it is a good mile walk from the metro station to the stadium and no shuttle. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but FWIW almost all of the parking (except maybe the Bus/RV lot) is closer

Gunner has it. Some more detail: 1) Since Reich took over in 2018, the Colts have usually been a team with a better run game than the Bills. 7th, 10th, 2nd....not so much last year until Reich got fired then they were running it down opponents throat under Saturday. Worst 64 yds rushing, but most games well over 100 yds - 207, 196, 171 yds. 2) They have generally put more resources towards OL - G in the 1st and RT in the 2nd round in 2018; had a good C drafted in the 1st round in 2016; LT in the 3rd round last season 2022; have a 2021 late-round pick playing G. They are def. in the "draft and develop" but that's 2 1sts, a 2nd, a 3rd round of their draft on the OL. 3) Like others have said, Singletary locked down the starter role and I believe it was said when he was drafted, Moss just wasn't different enough to be a good COP back. Neither was fast enough to turn the corner outside, and we just weren't very good at opening holes between the tackles. 4) Like Gunner says, Moss is best suited to run from the I with the QB under center. The Bills ran from under center only 20% of their snaps last year.

Eric Bieniemy giving Matt Milano his flowers
Beck Water replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
You're right about "don't talk about overrated". But his "giving Mr Milano his flowers" reminds me uncomfortably of Sean McDermott talking about Mac Jones before we played him his rookie year. Presser before the game: "Show me another QB who is playing better right now" (and more praiseful stuff) (Game: Mac Jones passer rating of 31.2. 14 of 32, 145 yds, 0 TD 2 INT) I hope you're right and he's really saying "please don't murder my young QB" -
Week 3: Buffalo (-6.5) at Washington
Beck Water replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually part of throwing through the wind is getting the ball to the WR. The faster it's going, the tighter the spiral, the less wind affects it. Interestingly, I heard Josh talk about throwing in very windy conditions, and he said the wind affected the ball more when he was throwing WITH the wind, than when he was throwing INTO the wind. He gave some details about why that was which I don't recall. -

Zierlein in his draft profile called it "average arm strength" and said he muscles balls. Of course he could have improved since 2022. -

LOL Exactly. Auntie now reads like ChatGPT run amok or something, dunnit? -
Isn't OBJ supposed to be more like the Ravens Diggs? I mean, who else they got? Zay Flowers? Rashad Bateman? Nelson Agholor? I think they might need to take a look at their S&C staff.

Eric Bieniemy giving Matt Milano his flowers
Beck Water replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now this is a great way of looking at it. That's kind of how I interpreted it. "Shots Fired" by Bieniemy about how intimately he understands Frazier and McDermott's defense with the implication he understands how to neutralize it. -
Wait. We need a reason? Why did no one tell me we need a reason? Not questioning your observation at all, but wondering if there's a source of data on this somewhere? Article breaking it down? Is that the daily hour long podcast? Any idea when? I'd love to see a detailed breakdown but Man that's A Lot.

This part is true. He could easily have had at least 2 picks. I'd put Watsons contract as the worst because 100% guaranteed and they've reworked 1x already to throw some of the cap down the road. What's 2 points between friends? Prophetic.

Eric Bieniemy giving Matt Milano his flowers
Beck Water replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
If you don't know, why don't you look into it instead of spouting off about "false accusations" and "nothing came of them"? -As a college player, he was involved in a bar fight, pleaded "no contest" and was sentenced to community service. He had his license suspended for a year for multiple driving infractions, and was charged with interfering with firefighters attempting to put out a fire at his mother's house. He was suspended by the team 1 game for that. But OK, foolish kid, lots of guys do foolish stuff in their late teens/early 20s and grow out of it. He has explanations for all of that, but there's A Lot of need for explaining -As a professional player for the Chargers visiting the Colorado campus in 1993, Bieniemy was arrested for harassing a parking attendant by putting his hands around her neck and making comments, after she reported in that Bieniemy and his group of friends were pouring beer on cars then dropped their pants and urinated in public. Bieniemy was 24 at the time. A second parking lot attendant was hit in the face after being questioned about what he'd seen by one of the other men (identified by 2 other parking attendants), so it's not "he said she said". The other man was arrested for intimidating a witness. Bieniemy was banned from the Colorado campus for a year as a result. Colleges do not take action against former players and alumni who might contribute $$ to the program, without good reason. College towns are also notoriously lax about filing criminal charges for football related incidents. It was a super bad look. -As an RB coach for the Colorado Buffalos, Bieniemy was arrested for DUI in 2001. He was 32 at the time. He was docked 1 months pay by the program at the time. Now it's fair to say those are two decades ago. Bieniemy is 54 now. But "false accusations" and "innocent and falsely accused" GTFO. We all know that many people are stopped for DUI and so forth, and especially if they're public figures in football towns charges don't necessarily follow unless there are serious consequences, as with Henry Ruggs and Britt Reid. All the rest of your post is just boilerplate nonsense. It reads like you're using an AI to generate it. Do you ChatGPT? -
Captain Andrew Luck makes appearance on TNF post game!
Beck Water replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
That is Amazing! Makes me wish I'd stayed up to see that. While Andrew Luck was playing for the Colts, there was a brilliant "Captain Andrew Luck" twitter account, that described the previous game and the next game as though they were Civil War battles. It wasn't Andrew Luck behind it, but it's a brilliant shout-out for him to show up in that costume. -
Thanks! Yep this. Bills looked at him and said "as a backup stashed on the practice squad, Christian Kirksey >> AJ Klein. Kirksey, you willing, you in." Fans made it all into "We signed Christian Kirksey! Yeah, he's on the practice squad, but that's just until he learns the calls. He's better than Bernard, he's gonna be our new MLB!" ignoring that if a team really wants to be able to count on a guy, they usually find space on their 53 man roster. Vet players typically (not always) wind up on practice squads because no other team in the league wants to roster them. See Beasley, Cole.
-
If another team he wanted to sign with made him an offer, he didn't need to wait. He could have signed right off the Bills practice squad.
-
Kirksey doesn't have to ask to be cut or traded or go behind the scenes to catch on somewhere else. He's on the practice squad. He's a free agent. Any other team can sign him to their 53 man roster at any time. I think a vet player like Kirksey doesn't have to be told what he needs to do. He has eyes. He watches the same film as the coaches. He gets feedback and GPS data after every practice, I think the players have access to this routinely. Remember when he came here, Bernard was a big unknown. He hadn't played in any pre-season games due to hammy. So Kirksey looks over the Bills MLB roster and says "I can beat out this Dodson guy, who else they got? I'll be elevated to the roster and playing by week 3 if not week 2, easy peasy." But after 2 weeks, Bernard has played pretty well and his arrow is trending up. Kirksey goes "hmmmm, I might be on this practice squad for a while and it's not for me." All 31 other teams could have signed him before and after he joined the Bills PS, so his agent is telling him "no interest, sorry". So he retires.

Is it possible that the Giants are just a bad team this year?
-
Purdy has made some immaculate throws this game. As good as any QB in the game. I said it. ————- It’s past getting a little chippy. It’s gotten a lot chippy out there.
-
It has to be partly coaching/team culture. They all just fight like hell for every blade of grass.
-
Deebo Samuel is a machine. Wow. Don’t like how long he’s down here. Nail biting time for the 9’ers

Eric Bieniemy giving Matt Milano his flowers
Beck Water replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think that’s what used to be known as “emptying the butter boat” over a person If it were Belichick, I’d suspect it means he feels he’s cooked up a way to neutralize him. Edit: on reflection, the stuff Bieneimy said about how well he understands Frazier and McDermott’s defense kind of sounds that way to me. Dear Mr Bieneimy, Mr Milano respectfully declines your flowers. They would clutter his minimalist space. -
Bears DC Alan Williams Leave of Absence
Beck Water replied to Captain Caveman's topic in The Stadium Wall
According to the Bears PR folks, they did not.
