Playbooks staying and leaving with Daboll
JohnNord replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Could he possibly take Ken Dorsey with him as OC!?!?!? -
Playbooks staying and leaving with Daboll
JohnNord replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The better the Bills do in the postseason, the greater the chances are he leaving. It’s a good problem to have! With that said there are two ways to look at a potential OC opening: - On one hand, if Daboll isn’t back, you want the most stability possible for Josh. That would mean Ken Dorsey as OC. He was interviewed in 2017 and since then he’s part of the team that did a stellar job with Josh. He also has a great relationship with Josh which is what a lot of great QB’s want from a QB Coach. - On the other hand, the Bills have a Top 10 QB (at worst), a Top 10 WR (at worst), and a stable HC and GM with a track record of success. Could this opening be, perhaps, one of the most coveted jobs this offseason? It’s the whole continuity vs. risk debate -
It’s very possible, though I am sure that the Bills offense devolves quite a bit with Barkley at the helm.

There is a blueprint to beat Baltimore. The Bills and Titans wrote it last season and several teams duplicated it this year. You shut down the run game, try to keep Lamar in the pocket and take away the middle of the field. Problem is that easier said that done. Your ends really need to contain Lamar and you saw two great DE’s last night continually fail to do that.
-
Agreed to an extent. I don’t see Lamar being the same player five years from now. He’ll need to evolve as a passer but if we’ve learned anything Josh, that’s something that isn’t impossible

Not sure about you... but I don’t really want to ply Baltimore. The running game and explosiveness of Jackson were on display last night big time and they looked dangerous

Thoughts on Chris Brown - One Bills Live?
JohnNord replied to Matt_In_NH's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bruce Nolan from Buffalo Rumblings is better than all the names you mentioned -
Thoughts on Chris Brown - One Bills Live?
JohnNord replied to Matt_In_NH's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I feel kind of bad because he seems like a nice guy but I haven’t really cared for his work. Maybe part of it is the position he’s in and his misleading job title of “Bills Insider.” He also never established any kind of personality for himself in the way that a Sal Capaccio has. I used to get frustrated back in the day when the Bills had some terrible football teams and Brown was reluctant to ever admit it and pretended that they were a competent NFL franchise. He wouldn’t acknowledge how awful their offense looked under Dick Jauron and reported as if Chan Gailey would be the Bills HC at a time when it was reported that Buddy was deciding his fate. Also while reporters like Sa Maiorana, Tim Graham and Jerry Sullivan would ask tough questions, Brown would lob up softballs. Since then I think he’s gotten better at reporting. But I’ve always viewed him as a “yes man” who won’t say anything that’s not positive -
Not just concussions but injuries in general. He’s a smaller player who throws his body around the field. Injuries have always been a concern

Did D. Williams Make a LOT of $ Tonight?
JohnNord replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He’s had a very good year and offensive line play seems to be in decline, so he’d still probably get paid with an average performance vs Watts. But yeah his work last night will earn him a few more millions -
I don’t think so. Jaquan Johnson was declared out early last week and he’s a special teamer. Pitts is good on special teams. Seems to make sense to me

Kroft and Murphy inactive again!
JohnNord replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Smith is going to help against TJ Watt. He’s a better blocker than Kroft and chances are the Bills run more 3 and 4 WR’s than they do with 2 TE’s -
Kansas City Chiefs @ Miami Dolphins 1PM GAME THREAD
JohnNord replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is it just me or did Miami get just about every single break today? Between the tipped INT’s, penalties and Miami WR’s making circus catches, it seemed like everything went their way and they still struggled. Still they played KC tough. Not so sure I want to face Miami in the first round There was many a 5% chance of that happening any way. Miami loss improved our chances are winning the division. We need a win tonight -
Are the Patriots now the drought-era Bills?
JohnNord replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At 6-7 they are very much “in the hunt” in December. If that’s not drought-era Bills I don’t know what is! -
Good coach but one who’s been greatly helped by joining a team of with Ben Roetisberger at QB and that has a stellar track record of developing and drafting players

Feedback from the steelers forum...woah
JohnNord replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills dropped a game to KC and people wanted McDermott fired! -
We will need him on Sunday to help vs TJ Watt and in the run game.
-
He’s a candidate for sure but I think a lot will depend what happens over the next 4 games and in the playoffs. If the Bills go 13-3 and make it to the AFC Championship game only to lose to KC, then I think it happens. If they go 10-6 and lose in the first round, probably not

Daryl Worley signed by Raiders off Bills PS
JohnNord replied to Matt_In_NH's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When you think “he can’t be worse than ________” think again! Worley was a street FA for a reason -
Could John Brown be Released Next Off-Season?
JohnNord replied to Halloween Land's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s a possibility but way too early to tell. A lot depends on the cap, how Brown performs when he returns from injury,how Davis performs at WR 2, and where the Bills end up this postseason -
Turner also said he was a bit concerned about Allen facing the Pittsburgh - specifically how their disguised coverages and the ability for the Bills can handle TJ Watt. He cited the game plan versus San Diego and Bosa to be run heavy and not as conservative. I think we call hope that isn’t the case. The thing that gives me optimism is how well Josh handled the adjustments from Robert Saleh - regarded as one of the most cerebral defensive coordinators in the NFL. Of course SF doesn’t have all pro players like Watt or Fitzpatrick on defense

Week 14 Expert Picks...Many picking the Bills
JohnNord replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wickersham almost always picks against the Bills. Not going to lie though, this makes me really nervous. I think everyone picked the Bills over Tennessee and we know what happened. Different circumstance but still This is spot on, though there are a few people like Matt Bowen who do know football
