Terry is very much like Ralph Wilson when it comes to the Sabres
-
Actually the Bills could really use a player like him on the DL. I’m assuming he would take the Justin Jefferson role. I think the rumor was that Miami had a deal in place with Baltimore until McDaniel killed it. It makes me think Baltimore would be his first choice but would definitely take him in Buffalo.
-
I see them as good - not great. Mac Jones and Will Levis had a lot of success against them as did Cooper Rush (though his was assisted by volume and garbage time). Their INT’s have come in bunches like the game against Detroit, which they still lost and yesterday in Miami. I thought Tua’s 2 of Tua’s INT were really bad unforced errors. The final INT was a great play by Stingley Probably like every KC win this season. Ditto for Pittsburgh

Will Miami start taking calls on Hill?
JohnNord replied to RoscoeParrish's topic in The Stadium Wall
It would be idiotic for Miami to release him at this point in the year given the dead cap situation. Plus it sets a horrible precedent. As far as a trade after the season, there is an out in his contract after 2025 but how much are teams going to spend both in salary and capital on a 31 year-old WR’s whose game is built on speed? I think Miami’s stuck with him another season. -
I’m not nearly as high on Houston as you are. Stroud has regressed from last season and Bobby F’N Slowik went from an OC some Bills fans were drooling to fire McDermott for, to a poor man’s Todd Downing in less than 12 months. The defense is ok but it can be had and as good as Stingley is at CB, teams have had success throwing against their secondary. And for all the crap McDermott gets, I’d argue that DeMeco Ryans is an even worse game manager. So while Houston has a nice collection of individual players I’m not sold they can beat KC, especially since I think Mahomes is fine.

I’ve never seen a player or team exaggerate injury status the way they do for Mahomes.
-
I don’t think they outright lied to deceive him but maybe framed the situation differently than it was in reality, to keep a positive relationship with a vet player they respect. Beane has done this in the past when releasing a player. He’ll say they were giving them a choice to sign with the team they wanted, rather than deciding for the player via a trade. I 100% believe this. One of Tre’s underrated strengths is his smarts - especially his knowledge of the position in the McDermott defense
-
That’s why I’m struggling with injuries being the reason for his lack of production. If he’s hurting from turf toe, why not just sit him? He’s 5th on the depth chart and probably the last option when he’s on the field. I don’t think it happened because he’s not on the injury report.
-
Where was this reported? I feel both McDermott and Brady said the opposite and that we was at full health multiple times this season. I don’t think it’s as much of an injury issue as it is Samuel not fitting into the offense. It happens sometimes

Roster moves - includes release of Toohill
JohnNord replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
He doesn’t offer much as a pass rusher but sets the edge very well and is a high motor player. Would be a good addition to the PS -
Mahomes exaggerated injuries. He’ll be hopping around on one foot and crying in pain and then back 5 plays later. He’ll be fine the rest of the season
-
That is not true . He was battling turf toe very early in the season and recovered. He had no injury diagnosis and was at full health. A few weeks ago he hurt his shoulder and might have reactivated it again on Sunday. So yeah injuries have slowed him a bit but not the same one I that injury is much overstated.
-
Long way to go for that happen. I’m just looking for a win next week

Josh 17 throws fastest 50 yard ball on record
JohnNord replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
This was just an incredible throw. Normally when QB’s throw a ball that travels that far they put a lot of air under it like the “moon ball.” This throw was almost a freaking frozen rope that traveled 50 yards and was placed perfectly. Just incredible -
Everyone is saying Cincinnati to work with Burrow and Chase again, but I’m not sure they move on from Taylor even if they miss the playoffs again. The problem with turning down HC offers as an assistant is that you have to strike while the iron is hot. There’s only a hand full of opportunities and you can go from in demand to irrelevant fast. Brady was a “hot” coaching candidate in Carolina that took a few HC interviews. He was fired into next season. Then you have my favorite example Bobby F’N Slowik. Some Bills fans were pining to fire McDermott for Slowik. This season he sucks and likely won’t get any serious HC interviews. Given Brady’s experience and the fact he has Allen, probably bodes well for him.

I say “he’s going to miss” every time he lines up for a FG!

Joe Burrow and HC Zac Taylor get in a heated convo at end of game
JohnNord replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
3 Denver losses could happen but really they need just need 1/3. There’s a chance Week 18 won’t mean anything for KC and they rest their starters. If you believe the NYT playoff simulation here’s where they rank teams: Baltimore 99% Denver 90% LAC 87% Indy 14% Miami 6% Cincy 4% I’m the first one to dismiss these simulations, but I think they are more accurate during the final few weeks of the season -
Joe Burrow and HC Zac Taylor get in a heated convo at end of game
JohnNord replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
They are still 6-8. I don’t think the fact that lost a few one score games really means anything -

They were a team that expected to contend for a championship and are sitting at 6-8 on the outside of the playoffs. They already have imploded.
