Pats*** game gotta be flexed, right?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
As many have already stated, think it's too late, plus in spite of what the biased fan on this site may feel, the 4:25 game is Green Bay at Denver which is a very good game and as popular as the Bills are, I'm willing to bet there are more Green Bay fans . So not happening -
Ja'Marcus Ingram claimed by Houston
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not really! It's just that there's a contingent that want Beane and McD gone and think the team will be better if that happens. Anytime they can find even the slightest thing to pile on and rip either of them, it's a feeding frenzy. Like a couple people posted when was the last time Ingram played, but lets make this into a big deal! -
Darius Slay claimed on waivers by Buffalo
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to TD716's topic in The Stadium Wall
Think the players at the bottom of the roster understand, it's a business and these are the tactics used every week by every team. If it were Sept and some other team wanted him and told him, he'd be active every week and play alot, he'd maybe prefer going there. But at this point in the year, unless it were another team wit ha good chance of going deep into playoffs, my guess is he'll have no problem coming back here. In the case of Slay that could have been Philly, but oh well -
So for all the comments regarding how poor Coleman is, from article in todays Athletic regarding #3 overall pick Abdul Carter, article also talked about some of the things LT did back in the day and apparently Parcells allowed. Article states Daboll tended to look the other way with Carter, but the guy who took over for him Carter had to sit out the opening series of the Giants’ Week 11 loss to the Packers, after he was asleep in the team facility at the time of the walk-through, Dan reported. (Carter denied the charge, saying on social media he was undergoing recovery, not sleeping.) Just two weeks later, Carter was again benched, this time for the entire first quarter of Monday’s loss to the Patriots. The reason? He missed a special teams meeting. After the game, Carter said, “S— happens,” before later apologizing for letting his teammates down. Taylor used to miss time for other reasons. One Sunday night, he drove home from playing golf, saw the stadium lights on and realized he was missing his team’s game. “I thought it was a Monday night game,” Taylor told James Brown. “I (told Parcells), don’t blame me. Blame the foursome in front of me. They were so slow.” When his Giants defensive coordinator, Bill Belichick, told head coach Bill Parcells about Taylor’s tardiness, Parcells asked, “Well, why’d you start the meeting before he got there?”

Big Ben on Mike Tomlin's Future in Pittsburgh
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to ryguy101's topic in The Stadium Wall
James Harrisons response was even worse. He said Tomlin is a good coach, but not a great coach. -
Looking ahead to the Patriots rematch.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to WhiskyBreath's topic in The Stadium Wall
I do agree on the first part. Second part not so sure that Tomlin isn't considered damaged goods at this point. Seems teams all want the new shiny OC innovators and Tomlin (or McD) doesn't fit that mold. The one exception being the Raiders. -

So you want another guy that should have been fired years back. As read in a number of places, the game may have passed Tomlin by. Even when he had Big Ben, he only won SB one time. Excluding Allen's rookie year, McD has never had a losing season either when he had a legit QB so why would Tomlin be an upgrade? I'd keep McD forever if my only other choice was Tomlin! -

Yeah I saw LA and just thought Rams. As far as I'm concerned Chargers are the San Diego Chargers! -
So the only problem with that is Allen likes the scramble plays. Recall when Diggs first arrived, in an interview Allen stated: "I told Diggs 3 things, catch the ball when I throw it to you, and get open, (Don't recall the 3rd thing he told him" Many QB's want the WR to run precise routes, Allen doesn't seem to care about that nearly as much. Maybe as Allen has gotten older he does care more, but don't think he's at the level of Brady, or Burrow in that regard.

I lived in Section V for over 30 years, left around 2008. Can recall many years the regular season games started Labor Day and weekend ended around Columbus Day weekend, then sectionals started and usually the state championship was over Thanksgiving weekend, think they played like 7 regular season games. Live in NC now and the season there starts a week earlier and most years the state championship would end the weekend before Christmas. Same in Florida and I'm sure Texas follows a similar schedule. Sounds like NY has extended their season some from what was played when i left in 2008, but still can't compete wit these other states in length of the season and the more games you play, over time, players improve.
