Holy Toledo, McCaffrey looks like a slim little guy but he plays like a Tank
-
The 49ers are built to try to avoid that scenario
-
It’s possible availability played into it, I don’t think it clinched the deal
-
So did Lance. My point is, the 49ers looked at Mr Irrelevant and said “we’d rather go with him than with now healthy Garappolo”
-
Do you think we could wait a little minute and play some games first? The best teams in the first 4-5 weeks and the best teams at the end of the season, not necessarily the same teams
-
He came in and outplayed Garappolo and Trey Lance. Now I grant, that’s not like outplaying Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen, but Garappolo had shown they could win with him and they invested a lot of draft capital in Lance.
-
Is anyone else really positive about the play by play and game coverage by Amazon? I seem most easily able to follow the game with it, so I’m liking it. They seem to spend more time reviewing and diagramming plays and commenting on what just happened, and less time blathering their opinions. Just me?

We seem to be a magnet for guys who decide to retire. Wish him the best A harsh blow to all the "Elevate Kirksey" "Play Kirksey instead of Bernard" campaigners. I consulted the magic 8 ball. It said "Easy Peasy"

Week 3: Buffalo (-6.5) at Washington
Beck Water replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
TBH I thought Kyle Allen showed some good stuff before he injured his ankle severely. Mixed of course - some good games, some games where he threw for 300+ yards but also threw multiple interceptions, some games where he just threw multiple interceptions. He's only had 2 starts since the ankle injury, for Houston, and they were both bad but on a bad team. My "take" is that he's a guy who may be able to do enough to win if the run game is clicking along and he has some time. But fluster him and ask him to carry the team with his arm, he can't. A number of QB look promising until defenses get some video on them and start breaking down their tendencies. -
Ken Dorsey "posterized" again for his coaches box reaction
Beck Water replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
To be honest, I don't watch enough football shows to know how widely it's being distributed and whether it's being smiled at or mocked. I swing through "X" and Instagram only to collect Bills content to bring back. I tend to agree with you about the impact of wide distribution of little moments (which can be pulled out of context), but nothing I can do about that. That's a beautiful sentiment, but long before the advent of social media, we had village pubs and village gossips. It literally only took one incident to make or break a reputation then, and it literally only takes one now. Actually I think the world's attention span is much shorter so incidents fade from view faster now than before. But returning to the topic, if Dorsey wants a HC gig, it's not the world's attention span that matters, it's decision makers hiring for the handful of available jobs. And it may not be fair if that incident does linger with them but lots of things aren't fair. Though winning cures everything, so if the Bills win a Championship carried by a strong offense, All will be Well. -

I think you're speaking of Ryan Wendell, who was our assistant offensive line coach in 2022 (promoted from offensive assistant in 2020) The Rams hired him as their offensive OL coach this season, and he was replaced by Austin Gund Pretty fast rise for Wendell, but he played center and guard for the Patriots 2008-2015 under the legendary Coach Scar, so he might know something. This guy, right? https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/09/rams-ryan-wendell-offensive-line-coach-bills/ See above - is this the guy you're talking about? He's gone. -

That might be a harder thing for Rapoport to verify that it didn't happen. I doubt the FBI office gives him "insider info". -

You've got a great point about coaches on the sidelines, and that it probably does look "bigger" in the contained environment of the booth vs on the sideline. I think you're not quite right and for young coordinators wanting to be hired as head coaches, it probably is still looked at carefully - like is this guy controlled enough, or is he going to lose it as a head coach enough to be thrown out of games or draw penalties on the team? whereas Bill Belicheck can break a Microsoft Surface or slam around a phone on occasion and NBD. But to be clear, I'm not criticizing Dorsey for it or at least that was not my intent, just sharing it. -
If you're watching, you'll see that Diggs gets hit elbowed and kicked in the head a lot. Often after he's down. There's a reason other receivers backs and OLmen scurry over like their feet are on fire. But Adams is not wrong that it was an unnecessary hit and a foul. That's true, but it doesn't change the fact that the hit was a "bad Rapp"

How the @#$!#$%^$%^&! are you guys getting these things to embed? I keep trying the tip I was given of editing the link to "twitter.com" and still doesn't. -

I'd be terribly flattered that you pay so much attention to the threads I start, except, well, I can't say that I am. For one thing, it's kinda stalker-ish and creepy. For another, given the number of threads I factually start, you're making ***** up just to take a shot at me, and that's really not a good look. Why not just ignore threads that don't interest you instead of....bumping them up the board by responding? A point. A good point. I agree, he seemed far more natural and at ease and likeable. It shed a little light on how the players and fellow coaches might see him. -

Not saying it's bad. Just saying it's a thing. I do believe that if he wants to progress to being a head coach, it might interfere. He may be perceived as not emotionally contained and controlled enough for the higher position. But that's a him problem. -

I'm afraid if Milano intercepts another pass like that, the ref is going to call it DPI or "personal foul - unnecessary roughness" Micah Hyde threw it https://x.com/thadbrown7/status/1704547932618240108?s=20 -
Week 3: Buffalo (-6.5) at Washington
Beck Water replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well - their opponents, the Cardinals and Broncos, managed to score 46 points and rack up 636 yds on them over their first 2 games. Mostly, as noted, in the first 3 quarters of games So either those opponents are pretty elite offenses, or their defense does allow opponents to score and move the ball -

It's not a small point actually. You can discredit a specific source in a fairly straightforward way, but to prove something didn't happen is more involved and time-consuming. That's at the heart of the saying "a lie travels around the world in the time the truth takes to put shoes on", Brandolini's law, etc. -

Well, if it's truly health issues, Williams could have just gotten a horrible health diagnosis for himself or a close family member. An empathetic boss might struggle not to tear up for that.
