Playoff Machine is up and running
JohnNord replied to Orlando Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
True...but any playoff matchup will be tough. -
It’s official. The New York Jets legendarily suck!
JohnNord replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I disagree. Adam Gase is the best thing to happen to the Jets and we should regard him as the true genius he is. The Johnson’s should give him a lifetime contract!! -
It was an odd move considering it was only a 10 point game at the time of the move. It eminded me of all those times over the past two seasons when Josh struggled and fans would demand Matt Barkley. It was explained ad naseum why you don’t pull your rookie QB. Flores literally did it! It just seems like a quick shortsighted move

Who is your favorite Place Kicker in Bills history?
JohnNord replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has to be Steve Christie. It was such a breath of fresh air to have a kicker that you could rely on especially after the last few years of Scott Norwood. Christie was so dependable during his first year with the Bills. He hit the wall toward the end but you always felt confident he’d make a pressure kick when you needed him to. Second favorite is Steve Hauschka. He had a great season for Buffalo in 2018 and 2019 but never was the same after the Henry Anderson cheap shot -
Saints to start Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston
JohnNord replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not really....People talk about him like he’s the biggest piece of trash to ever play the position. There’s a pattern there... same way they used to talk about Josh -
Saints to start Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston
JohnNord replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don’t know - there’s a certain profile rof QB that analysts seem to hate - The tall, strong, athletic, strong armed but inaccurate, sometimes religious, All-American white dude QB. Analysts seem to slam these QB’s and compare them to Christian Hackenberg and then a ome fans seem to follow suit. You saw this with Josh Allen...then Daniel Jones and Drew Locke. Hill seems to get a lot of that venom -
Saints to start Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston
JohnNord replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’ll never get the hatred that some fans and the media have for Hill. Everyone he touches the ball, people want to point how much he sucks. He hasn’t exactly blown me away his play either but I can accept that he is what he is - a gadget player. I just don’t feel he should be as polarizing as he currently has been -
Yes it is possible....which is why it’s foolish to only blame the coaching staff for not having a good “feel of the game” as this thread did. Personally I didn’t have a problem with the call. I did have a problem with the execution from Addison for not containing the edge. I don’t see how you can blame coaching for that play
-
Fans love to blame coaches or coordinators because it’s easier than calling out players. The bottom line is that even with the timeout, Mario Addison was in a perfect position to affect the QB. Had he stuck on Murray rather than trying to dive at his feet, it’s unlikely Murray sees Hopkins and very unlikely he throws the ball to that exact spot.

Joshs development has been amazing
JohnNord replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ha ha yes! It’s actually surprising how many fans (myself included) as well as other analysts and media members allowed this crew to completely shape their opinion that Allen was going to bust and that Rosen was THE choice at pick 7. -
Well I disagree. On the list of priorities he’s down there, but I don’t really feel that overall he’s consistently pinned the ball deep. He’s average at best, maybe below-average for a punter IMO
-
I think there’s no doubt that a healthy Matt Milano will help the defense. The concern many of us have is the defensive line - in particular the middle of the d-line. It seems like there aren’t any good players who can play 1 technique DT. - Vernon Butler is probably the best option but he hasn’t played great and has struggled to stay healthy. - Quentin Jefferson is better suited for DE - Harrison Phillips hasn’t been good - Justin Zimmer is probably better at 3 technique Until we find someone who can give us competent play next to Ed Oliver, I can’t see this team improving drastically against the run
-
Like I said, it seems like he struggles pinning teams teams deep. Other punters seem to do a better job. Are you challenging my point that he’s inconsistent? Because I think a 12 shank in perfect weather pretty much illustrates my point Careful there’s atleast one Bojo-stan in this thread

Joshs development has been amazing
JohnNord replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No doubt and there’s a few lessons you can learn here: - Data is important but not the ultimate decision maker - “NFL people” might know a little more than than the analytics crew - most who have never played or worked in the NFL - Don’t underestimate a team’s long-term plan to develop a player vs perceived natural ability/performance...especially a QB. - Writing off a player on draft day and routining against them, makes you look like a jackass -
Joshs development has been amazing
JohnNord replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, considering so much of the media told us thst Allen destined to be failure due to advanced analytics. Sam Monson, Mena Kimes, Cian Fahey, A-Ron Schatz et al -
He also has very few punt this year. When was the last time he stuck a team inside the 5 like other punters do? You can’t disagree that he’s been inconsistent this season
-
How can you knock it down if you can’t get your hands on the football? Lost in the whole “just knock it down” fallacy is that is Mario held the edge, Murray wouldn't be able to throw that pass
-
I remember that play. A huge missed opportunity.
-
We should start using the phrase The Corey Bojorquez Experience because he’s wildly inconsistent. He’ll absolutely crush a punt for 70 yards then will punt one for 12 yards inside a dome. He also seems to be really bad at pinning teams inside the 10. It seems like all of his punts go into the endzone - and not because the coverage doesn’t get there. It’s week 11, not a lot you can do now but his time has to be running out

Jets Release Pierre Desir - Ravens Expected To Sign Him
JohnNord replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’d easily swap Desir for Worley but not sure if he’d sign to the PS. Based on what we’ve seen from Norman, do you cut bait and bring Desir on board? -
Winning teams vs. winning teams
JohnNord replied to Tortured Soul's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dont share with Matt Fairburn...he’ll try digging out more facts to prove that McDermott is a bad coach -
I like McDermott and am a lot higher on him as a HC than most. I think he’s done a fantastic job turning the Bills around who were an absolute dumpster fire when he took over. But this situation is just bizarre. I’m hoping there’s more to the story and that Morse was available on an emergency basis to be extra careful of his concussion situation. There’s can’t be any way that they benched him based on his play. He’s been easily their first or second best lineman

Cardinals’ fans keeping it classy

I saw on Twitter that many Cardinals fans were being super cool -

Bummer.... I see this game as a loss
