I couldn't agree more.

Are the Patriots still the NFL team you dislike the most?
smward8 replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'll always hate the Cowboys, the self proclaimed "America's Team". I hope they lose every game for eternity. The NFL and the media have sucked up to them forever. The Pats? As others have said, they're irrelevant and I hope they stay that way forever. Maybe they won't get every call any more. The Jets? A dumpster fire of an organization and I hope that continues. The Dolphins? Kind of like watching Saturday Night Live the last decade. A couple talented people, but no idea what the hell they're doing on a weekly basis. The Chiefs? Annoying for sure, similar to the Belichick/Brady Patriots. But they're a good team and you can't make mistakes against them. Kermit is tiresome doing all those commercials, and every time I have to listen to Collinsworth gush over Mahomes I feel the need to puke. -
If you haven't already done so, read the Washington Post article on him titled something like "Josh Allen and the Art of Being The Man" https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/josh-allen-and-the-art-of-being-the-man/ar-AA1uc8ov

So about the refs tonight UPDATE: Rams game discussion on page 14
smward8 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
In general, the officiating wasn't perfect but balanced. My only real complaint is they refuse to call KCs right tackle for not being on the line like they did to the Ravens earlier in the year. You could tell when it was a pass play by where the guy lined up! Also, that guy false starts about half the time -
Ballinger gave Terrence a rave review for facing Chris Jones well.

9 Receivers Catch A Pass! Bills record?
smward8 replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
A couple years ago Josh hit 12 different receivers in one game, tying the NFL record. Would have been 13 but Taiwan Jones dropped an easy one. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - A Roster for McDermott to Work With
smward8 replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Great insight into the difference between starting a rebuild when you have to make big changes to now, where the changes are more focused. As Bills fans, we need to be prepared for 3 phases next season: 1 - Lots of mistakes, some will costs wins as the new guys get familiar 2 - Defense gels and keeps us in games and maybe wins one or two 3 - The whole team gels and we win out This should sound a little like last season. Also, I suspect Allen's numbers will compare to last year in terms of attempts and completions, but the distribution will be a lot different. I can see 4 or 5 guys with 40-60 catches each, similar spread on yards and TDs. We saw this late last year when Allen started really spreading the ball around. Can this staff and team come together really quickly? I hope so -
I'm so sick of hearing about Josh Allen's Turnovers (fun article)
smward8 replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm curious to know what Favre's numbers were. Also, the Bills are rarely out of close games with Allen playing. With Diggs gone, it's going to be interesting to see if he looks to get short first downs instead of some of the longer throws. As has been pointed out - endlessly - I think he made more underneath passes to Kincaid and Shaking later in the season. -
It looks like he can fill Digs shoes. Pretty good speed, good hands, good route runner - and Josh has begun to look for him on the field.

Thanks for starting this thread. The day the drought ended, I was on a cruise ship out of Miami. After dinner, I sat in our state room watching the scrappy on board ESPN ticker for what seemed like an eternity (in reality, probably a half hour). I'm not a kid, but I jumped around when I finally saw the news we were in the playoffs. I rejoined my wife and friends in the piano bar, and it turned out the piano player was from Rochester and also a Bills fan. He announced the news and played a short rendition of the Shout song. Turns out there were a few other Bills fans on board. We started celebrating hard at that point, and don't remember much of the rest of the night. Wife wasn't too happy with me.

If so, how does Collins worth have a job?

Winners and Losers from the first round (Non-Bills)
smward8 replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
You forgot Cincinnati - losers. The announcers were pretty dumb founded when they picked an OT with just 8 starts in college. They decided he must be a project - with a first round pick. Doesn't get much worse than that -
I think Torrence played EVERY offensive snap this year. Pretty impressive

I think I have something in my eye. Continue d thoughts and prayers

Yes, they do. Immobilized it, elevate it and start ice, etc to minimize swelling

JA Blend is really good! I got a mug, too

I'm pretty sure it takes some time for an offensive line with two new guys to really gel. Yesterday they looked a unit, not five guys trying to figure it out. Granted, Dallas is defense is shaped to beat the passing game since they expect to be playing with an early lead - too bad for them. That said, the Bills play calling was really good. Stuck with what was working, making Dallas have to adjust, then shifting to something else that worked, etc so they were on their heels allnight

Officials allowed the Chiefs to cheat the entire game
smward8 replied to Gisele's topic in The Stadium Wall
What is the exact rule regarding offensive players at the line of scrimmage? Is there some weird rule that allows the tackles to be that deep if a couple WRs are at the line? Regardless, the clips I've seen are beyond obvious - particularly the Oline movement before the snap -
Jamie Nails - pretty enormous guy. On one play, the play by play guy said something about a linebacker trying to run around him to get to the QB, and the color announcer said "If you run around that guy, you're going to be late" Jamie Nails - pretty enormous guy.
