NFL Week 11 Browns at Bills (Detroit) - 1st half game thread
Nephilim17 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
If we win and figure out how to feature Knox and the backs into a gameplan, I'll be happy. -
This is completely asinine. The original poster is questioning the validity of Sean McDermott as a head coach as McDermott has been a head coach for five complete years without a Super Bowl championship. Did you bother to look up that it took Andy Reid 20 years as a head coach to win a championship as a head coach? According to your "facts" and implications that if a coach hasn't won it all in a handful of years that he's not good enough, Reid should have never gotten the gig as KC's head coach. Right? That's a fact that he went far over a decade without a championship so KC was foolish to hire him, right? I don't know if McDermott is the right coach for the bills (I suspect he's pretty darn good) but your argument is far beyond flawed. There are 32 teams in the league; with parity, it will take each and every team to 32 years to win one championship... But you're suggesting if a coach hasn't won it all in a half decade he should be highly suspect as incapable of ever doing so. Please tell me you're not a math teacher or philosophy professor.

Benford is a huge positive. Has he been perfect? No, but he held his own against veteran receivers and has helped an injury-ravaged team win games. Early on, I was almost thinking of getting his jersey as he is the epitome of the underdog: a 6th rounder pick starting over a first rounder. I hope he continues to improve and carve out a very good career as a long-term starter.

If that's the case, I hope his bad leg is elevated properly on a stack of Benjamins.

Seriously, how complicated is our offense
Nephilim17 replied to Scott7975's topic in The Stadium Wall
If you don't believe your own eyes when it comes to Hines, do you believe Allen's and Digg's? When they first saw Hines run in practice they turned to each other and commented on how fast he was. -
We can win with even a poor running game if we never turn the ball over. Easier said than done these days.

Allen's final throw, bad decision or bad pass?
Nephilim17 replied to TwistofFate's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't know the route expectation but if Davis keep running hard and Josh throws it higher and leads the runner it seems like a good chance of a TD to me — and unlikely that it's picked. And Davis seemed to slow down after the ball came out and was looking short and low. We've seen good Josh make throws like this routinely. -
NFL Week @10 - Vikings at Bills - 2nd half game thread
Nephilim17 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lots of Bills fans complain about bad calls but that Gabe call was the wrong one in our favor and I've seen multiple play of our secondary literally grabbing a fistful of Jefferson's jersey with no calls... Sometimes refs make the wrong call and sometimes we benefit. Go Bills! -
NFL Week @10 - Vikings at Bills - 2nd half game thread
Nephilim17 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
WOW! Diggs is unreal. Catch of the season so far for the BIlls? -
A bunch of players were talking about how Josh is "coaching" everyone from the sideline. McKenzie said that Josh was watching him and said, "I didn't realize you ran that route like that." That's a small thing but proof that Josh can learn some things from the sideline. Am I saying it's going to lead to some major epiphanies? No. But it's possible to discover some things — or perhaps relearn some old perspectives that may have slipped a bit — from the sideline.

How many beers it would take to get with NFL QBs as women
Nephilim17 replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Trevor Lawrence note that the picture was actually edited is pure gold. On a personal note, Josh looks like the younger brother of the woman I had the longest relationship with after my divorce — and the action with her was very, very good. Needless to say, looking at Josh's face for the first couple years was weird. -
Injuries in and of themselves are never good. But I believe Josh sitting on the sideline and watching the game and reflecting about his recent struggles may lead to a wiser Josh when he returns. Sometimes when things are going bad a break and some time off are a good thing.

" Packers fans may be familiar with one of the more well-known incidents. It took place in January 2017 in the days leading up to the Packers playoff game with the New York Giants at Lambeau Field. Beckham and some teammates took a trip down to Miami and were photographed on a boat during a day off from practice. Yes, it was a day off, but it certainly didn’t look like Beckham was concentrating on the game plan for the upcoming playoff game. Beckham didn’t play well in the game, catching only four passes on 11 targets for 28 yards. The Packers won the game 38-13 and the fallout from the Beckham photograph and trip was clearly a distraction for the Giants in the days leading up to the game." Yikes, the Buffalo fanbase — and the supposedly mighty Von Miller — have been hoping to acquire a player who GOT ON A BOAT DURING A PRACTICE OFF-DAY? What the hell are we all thinking!?

Terrel Bernard was absolutely abused yesterday
Nephilim17 replied to TwistofFate's topic in The Stadium Wall
Marino: "The best run defense is a good offense." I was recently wondering if our run D looked so much better earlier in the season because we were scoring so many points other teams couldn't stick with a committed run game against us. 🤔 -
Coaching Staff has to take a huge blame for yesterday
Nephilim17 replied to BillyBilliams's topic in The Stadium Wall
I appreciate your background and your perspective but athletes playing at the highest level in the world in front of over 60,000 live fans and millions watching on TV are not built like normal workers. You may be right but it's conjecture. I think the simplest explanation could be the correct one: Tre is healthy but getting in game shape (physically and instincts wise) after all this time off and the coach made a call (may have been a bad one but he's paid to make calls) that the current guys are better at this very moment that he thinks Tre would be. We shall see soon enough. -
Who has been the biggest disappointment?
Nephilim17 replied to Milanos Milano's topic in The Stadium Wall
1. Davis: Inconsistent: makes a great highlight film play that makes you wanna pay him tens of millions than he disappears for stretches and drops passes 2. Knox: Yes, he's got some heavy grief to deal with so I don't know if this is on him, Josh, or Dorsey, but we are not using him as per his new contract suggests we should 3. Josh: one and a half games of crap. I didn't expect him to be stellar all year, but didn't expect games like yesterday ever to come back either. 4. Frazier's D (as per the Jet's only): highly concerning that playing a young QB who is proven to be poor against pressure that we can't pressure him or limit a run game that consistently gashed us and ate up clock. Stack the box and let the kid beat you with his arm. I believe 1 may get fixed but not hopeful; 2 has a good chance of getting fixed; 3 will almost certainly improve; and 4 will likely get back to a top-5 D sometime soon though we've seen a reluctance by this team to stack the box so I'm not super hopeful we adjust to that in the future. -
It would be good if someone with All 22 can answer this. Josh saw him in the past though... So it is he offensive scheming now?

WEEK #9 - AROUND THE NFL GAMEDAY THREAD - NON BILLS
Nephilim17 replied to ColoradoBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Also interesting how they don't seem to use him at all as a receiving threat. He's got wheels, so why not try to get him in space with short passes? -
WEEK #9 - AROUND THE NFL GAMEDAY THREAD - NON BILLS
Nephilim17 replied to ColoradoBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
As frustrating as hell to watch but the silver lining is a good D can greatly limit the Chiefs. A crap day to see the Bills lose and the Chiefs win, but good to see them struggle offensively. Take what you can get on Sundays.
