Chargers: Herbert will remain starter, Tyrod to bench
JohnNord replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m convinced that people just look at his stats without really watching him play much. High completion percentage, modest passing yards, nice deep ball and lack of turnovers. Yes he won’t lose you games, but he also won’t win them. He’s a great backup/fringe starter. -
I’ve been following this story for a while. He basically admitted that he missed on Allen earlier in the week. One thing he didn’t mention was the hundreds of tweets and sarcastic comments about how Allen wasn’t good. It wasn’t just Sam or the PFF guys either - it was all of “analytics Twitter.” To be fair, players like Kirk Cousins, Mitch Trubisky and even Blake Bortles a few years back faced a lot of back lash for the same reason. If they think someone sucks they are going to let you know about it

I think they meant the decision to pull EJ in favor of Orton. That only makes sense if you thought there was something there with EJ, which most of us didn’t. Marrone was apparently upset with Whaley’s trading up for Sammy Watkins. So if anyone set the team back, it was Whaley
-
I remember Orton dropping down in the backfield rather than take a hit when a defender was rushing him rather than a take a hit in a meaningless Week 17 game versus NE. Clearly a business decision.

Trade where though? LB? DT? CB? Many choices It’s a sprain and not a tear like Feliciano. That is big. We could see him back in a few weeks

How serious is it, if they aren’t putting him on IR?

Hypothetical: Chances we regret losing Daboll?

That might be true...but I don’t think that stops him from taking the jobs -

The 49 yard pass to Diggs was all air yards. -
Hypothetical: Chances we regret losing Daboll?
JohnNord replied to jletha's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s still early in the year and a lot can happen but the signs of the Bills offensive production very positive. If The Bills can win the AFC East, it’s all but certain that Daboll is gone. I also think that Daboll will have a much better chance than Eric Bienemy or whatever upcoming offensive coordinator will emerge. Over the span of 3 years (if all continues) Daboll will have developed a very raw traits-based QB into an up-and-coming NFL superstar. Bienemy who works alongside with a HOF playcaller, can’t take as much claim. QB is likely going to be the #1 priority of any team who fires their coach, and what Daboll did with Allen has to be a tremendous selling point I think NYJ is definitely a possibility. Daboll might be a shot to start from scratch with the top college QB prospect in football. Daboll’s not dumb like his buddy JMD who stayed in NE when they dangled the HC carrot in front of his face (it’s going to Belichick’s kid when the old man retires). If he gets a HC shot, he’s taking it -
Zay Jones - What If He Played With This Josh Allen?
JohnNord replied to HardyBoy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Weirdest thing is that coming out of college, so many scouting reports put verbatim “he catches everything!” That didn’t happen in the NFL. I was watching rookie highlights. There’s a game vs San Diego were Josh hits an open Zay with a 40 yard bomb. The ball is a bit under thrown and Zay is so open he turns his body to catch the ball that hits him in the stomach. But he ends up bobbling an easy catch which wouldn’t negated a huge gain. That’s Zay’s career in Buffalo, folks -
Zay Jones - What If He Played With This Josh Allen?
JohnNord replied to HardyBoy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Zay still doesn’t make the team this year. He’s a low-end WR on most NFL teams. I think the problems we saw last year are still the ones that continue to plague him: 1. No separation 2. inconsistent hands 3. Not good on contested catches 4 Not quick, shifty or fast enough to create mismatches If you were to put Zay on the team, he might be the 2nd WR of the PS behind Duke Williams -
Can someone explain why Browns catch wasn’t a TD?
JohnNord replied to Southern Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m still trying to figure out how the Allen pass to Kroft was ruled as an INT last week. -
This Defense needs a proper 1 Technique Guy
JohnNord replied to RocCityRoller's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
With Snacks there must be some reason why he is unsigned. I saw that Vincent Taylor was playing with the Browns. Taylor would seriously have been a good candidate for 1 technique. I do wonder if the team makes a move at the trade deadline -
Week 5: Bills at Titans on Tuesday Night Football

I don’t think this game happens. Not next week, anyway -
Josh Allen - week FOUR report card
JohnNord replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This was one his most consistent performances. Yes the sack took the Bills out of FG range but in this situation, it ultimately didn’t have and effect on the score -
Barnwell changes his tune. 🎺
JohnNord replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is mostly true. Also the same people who used #FireBrianDaboll are now suggesting that the Bills block any head coaching interviews! IMO what pissed of so many Bills fans isn’t the projections, as much as it was how arrogant and snarky the Barnwell’s of the world were when discussing Allen. -
If he can stay healthy and maintain the average level he was at from 2016-2018, it would be a huge boost. They can line him up on the outside or at slot CB. I do worry about his health/age but As long as he can stay healthy, I think he’ll be better than some are predicting I hope not. It sounds like the Bills would to keep him around

Hellllllllllllllo Josh Norman BTW This Nick guy is a clown
-
Given how the NFC West is playing, 9-7 might win the AFCE! It just shows how it those divisional games are - in particular the 2 versus NE. As far as the rest of the scheduled, I find that teams always lose a few games they should win and a win a few they should lose. It usually evens out

What did so many of the draft experts miss about Allen?
JohnNord replied to Batman1876's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Most people thought he would never be good because the PFF’s of the world said he wouldn’t be. Allen is a case study why you shouldn’t always take everything the Analytics crowd says as fact I don’t think so. Darnold would be in a great spot in Buffalo and Allen probably isn’t starting anymore in NY. There so much more than goes into the success of a QB prospect outside of their college stats and measurables. So much is dependent on the situation they are drafted in.
