All-22 Grades for Bills/Jets (The Athletic)
JohnNord replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
The point about the run defense definitely is concerning. It makes you wonder if Oliver and Phillips just stay on the field longer. I’m not a fan of Vernon Butler. He isn’t very good -
Chad Hall, even more impressed with him
JohnNord replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Only a matter of time before he gets a shot as an OC. If Frazier or Daboll or get a HC, I can see them bringing Chad with them. Everyone has good things to say about him -
The Jauron hire was sooooo bad. I remember that after the Bills started something like 5-1, Ralph Wilson jumped at the chance to sign him to a contract extension. But immediately after the tram took a nosedive and fans soured on Jauron, so the Bills never publicly acknowledged the extension LOL This is when my frustration with the team started. Every fan knew that Jauron wasn’t competent enough and should be fired, but penny-pincher Ralph didn’t want to eat the cost of his contract. Ugh. Bad ownership.

He’s actually a very good athlete for a CB. It seemed that he needed some work but that there was potential there
-
Given the Jets secondary he might get a chance to actually play this season

The Bills lose their Wildgoose:

Le’Veon overplayed his hand so badly. It does make you wonder what happened. He went from one of the best running backs in the NFL and a dual threat to an average then below-average RB. It makes you wonder: - Was he a product of Pittsburgh’s offense? - Did the year off from football negatively impact his ability? - Did he just get lazy and complacent after signing a big deal with NYJ? - Did Adam Gase kill his career?
-
The Bills hate it too. I can’t say I love it, but it doesn’t bother me either. I have gotten a kick out of the videos that circulated the internet in the past

I think there’s still a huge difference between what Beasley brings in the slot versus McKenzie. He might be a step slower since the injury but he knows exactly where to find openings in a defense and usually is reliable. We probably don’t win the game against Miami without Beasley playing as well as he did. I do think he’s much less effective when injured. McKenzie has a lot of potential and I feel the offense could utilize him more but I’m not sure that he could step in and play as many snaps as Cole and be as reliable. The endorsement from McDermott was very strong though. I don’t expect the Bills move on from Beasley but given his contract, the cap, and the contracts for Edmunds and Oliver looking, it’s possible

I am sure there were complication videos circulating YouTube before 2015

The Athletic paid one of its writers to travel to the Bills/Miami game to interview the first fan to go through a table at a Bills game. LOL. He ends up discussing the entire Bills tailgating scene and culture in Buffalo. I think it’s a fun little article that people will enjoy - especially Buffalo transplants. https://theathletic.com/2949782/2021/11/16/its-a-perfect-day-to-smash-a-table-a-journey-into-the-heart-of-bills-fandom/?source=user_shared_article “He pinpoints the date when it happened: Sept. 20, 2015. He shows me a time-stamped video: 11:50 a.m. He knows he’s probably not the first person to ever do it at a Bills game, but he also can’t find any evidence that he’s not. “I shot the musket ball that started the American Revolution,” he grins. The waitress walks over. Jordan orders us 20 medium wings and two Blues, plus a beef on weck to split. He tells the waitress it’s my first time in Buffalo. She smiles. “Welcome,” she says warmly. Then: “You’re not getting any ranch.”

Do you think a 4-3 formation could be a good one ?
JohnNord replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Leslie Frazier spoke about this during his press conference yesterday. It’s on the WGR website. He said that the Bills are mostly a Nickel defense largely because of how good Taron Johnson has been against the run. He said that typically and offense feels confident to run against a nickel defense but thanks to Johnson and our safeties which can come up and make tackles, they’ve been able to keep the extra DB on the field without much of a drop off. He did say the one exception was the game against Tennessee - probably because of Henry. So I think there’s a decent chance we see more 4-3 on Sunday -
Did the Jets game really prove anything????
JohnNord replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
It shows that the Bills are back to where they were before the Jacksonville loss. Yes the Jets are bad, but the game was a slaughter. I’m not quite sure what you are looking for. Even if the Bills end up beating Indy on Sunday, it’s a win against a 5-5 football team. If they lose, then yeah it will make you question the team. -
At one time I remember hoping the Bills signed Nigel as a backup LB. Maybe it was the 2019 season?

Based on looks, what NFL coaches would do without football.
JohnNord replied to Bubba Gump's topic in The Stadium Wall
Andy Reid = Subway Driver Bill Belichick = Factory Shift Supervisor Brian Flores = Night Club Security Sean McVay = Financial Planner Mike Vrabel = Construction Foreman Frank Reich = Motivational Speaker Urban Meyer = Traveling Salesman Ron Rivera = department Manager of Home Depot -

I think Sean McDermott is a dead ringer for a High School Gym Teacher. -
Teddy Bridgewater...what? Nice tackle attempt...
JohnNord replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
I saw the video circulating Twitter last night. Fans are really upset at the lack of effort. -
WHY???????

Poor roster decisions still an issue with this regime
JohnNord replied to FilthyBeast's topic in The Stadium Wall
There’s reasons for a lot of these decisions: # 1 - Breida was activated in Week 1 over Zack Moss and didn’t play great. Moss is a tough runner and probably the best RB when it comes to blocking and maybe pass catching. You can argue that they should’ve activated him a few weeks earlier given his speed. We’ll see what he does the rest of the season. #2 - Where would you play Klein? Would you mix him in and take Edmunds off the field? It’s a bad move if that’s the case. Wasn’t a fan of Edmunds but he is having a great year. #3 - This is a valid point. Sanders has played well so it’s not like this was a no brainer. I’d like to see Davis get more reps. #4 - Obada has been active for multiple games this season as hasn’t consistently been as disruptive as he was yesterday. #5 - He’s a punter…not a big deal. He’s doesn’t have the strongest leg. I think they are keeping him because he does a great job as a holder for Bass and they don’t want to mess with that. This one is not a big concern -
Any team needs luck to win the Super Bowl

They key to lineup has been Spencer Brown. When he has been active, he’s allowed the team to upgrade at two different positions - RT and RG. Daryl Williams has played much better inside than he did at. There was a big difference in the offense during the 3 games that Brown has been in the lineup vs. the past 2 games where he was out. The rushing numbers are a bit deceiving as Josh accounted for about 50 yards on the ground The LG position will be interesting. Feliciano should be back for the Thanksgiving game. Do you start him or Ike? Both have their shortcomings and are probably the weakest link in the OL
-
Were you watching the same game? I thought the line performed well today. There was the one moment when Doyle played a snap and got schooled. And another one where a blitzer ran free and crushed Josh. Aside from that, it looked like the line had a good performance. Jets Defensive Line is actually pretty good. Not a top DL but also not the worst in the league
-
So he’s fat… that’s your evaluation? I saw him make a few tackles toward the end of the game - including one for a loss
-
I hate to say it … but the Pats are coming
JohnNord replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall
What if the Bills can stop their run game?
