Vrabel whining about the officiating in Bills/Pats
BeastMaster replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
We're starting to see the guy that blew his shot in Tennessee and why they decided to move on from him Good coach, but things like this don't serve him or his team well, and it likely doesn't go over well with ownership, I'd imagine This gives me hope that he's got real flaws in his mentality and that we will be able to expose him in future matchups -
Is Josh the main reason we win (particularly in close games)? Yes. Was Tom Brady the main reason the Pats won so much? Was Mahomes the main reason K.C. won so much? Was Marino the main reason for the Dolphins to win so much? Was Rodgers, Montana, Manning, Elway, etc., etc. Yes. Kind of comes with the territory of being a top-10 All-time QB. That's why those guys are those guys. You always count on your star players to come through for you in the clutch (no matter what sport). Is Josh the only reason we win (because our FO, Coaching staff, and roster all suck)? Absolutely not. There are 90+ people involved. No matter how good that one player is, he is not the only reason. Plenty of top 10/elite QBs have missed the playoffs over the years (and some never won a SB). Josh is not doing it on his own. -How do you ignore Cook and being the #1 rushing team in the league as help? Cook has 399 yards from scrimmage and 3 TDs over the last 3 games. I bet a lot of teams would like a guy averaging 133 yards and a tuddy per game (on the year he is averaging 120 yards and almost 1 TD/game). And Davis and Johnson aren't too shabby either. Both are ballin'. -How do you ignore having a top-offensive line as not having help. -Are we weak at receiver? Sure, but over these last two comeback wins (and since Kincaid's return), our TEs have had 217 yards and 4 TDs. Our TEs are second in the league in yards and TDs by TEs. Seems helpful. And over the last three games, the defense has had 5 sacks, 12 QB hits, 11 TFLs, 4 Ints, 4 FFs, 1 FR (5 total TOs in 3 games), and they scored two touchdowns (14 points). No help? Yes, they gave up yards and points to two very good teams/QBs in the Bengals and Pats, but they also came up clutch at the end of those games (as people have been clamoring for the defense to do for so long). Bosa helped close the game out with his deflection of Maye's pass on Sunday. And no matter how big the "S" is on Josh's chest, do we come back against Cincinnati without the two late interceptions and defensive TD? I don't think so. Pittsburgh's lasts six offensive possessions went like this: End of half, Fumble, INT, Punt, Downs, End of game. Cincinnati's last six offensive possessions were: Punt, Punt, TD, Int, Int, TD. New England's last six offensive possessions were: FG, Punt, Int, TD, Punt, Downs So, last 18 possessions (basically a little more than the 2nd half of each game) for three teams to close out the games: 24 points, 9 drives (50%) ended in a punt or on downs, 5 drives (28%) ended in a Bills takeaway, while only 4 of 18 drives (22%) ended up in points for the other team. And if 24 points still seems like a lot for three teams over 6+ quarters, then let me just point out that on 18 possessions, if the other team scored a FG on each (but no TDs), they would still have 54 points. Even if they scored only a FG on half of their possession (no TDs), they would still have 27 points. Josh has plenty of help despite the overblown and overused narrative. Would it be nice to have a stud receiver for Josh? Yes. Do we have no talent on the roster to help Josh without a stud WR? No. First of all, more often than not over his career, those defensive timeouts have worked out, getting a critical defensive stop at a crucial point of a game. If you don't understand that it helps to see how the offense is lining up and what play you think they are going to run, I don't know what to tell you. Also, even if they change the play because they already showed you too much, then you got them to get out of the initial play that they thought would work best. Yes, if they call a timeout because of too many men on the field or a bad alignment or substitution or whatever, that's totally on the coaches. But when he uses them strategically on defense, I'm good with it. It may have happened once or twice, I really can't recall one off the top of my head though, where using that TO cost us not having it at the end of the game---but if so, it is rare. And as others have noted, it's not just about losing your timeout, it's about possibly losing a challenge that could be needed on a more important play at a more crucial moment later on.

obama? are we really going back to obama? the only thing i remember in this respect with obama was that it was the first time i heard of "fake news" and remember trump saying he wanted to see the birth certificate because he was insistent he wasn't from the us. biden was out of his mind. none of this has anything to do with what trump tweeted. i'm not outraged by this, but i think when we see someone that runs our country thinks it's ok to say that a man was murdered because he had tds, we can raise an eyebrow and take note. this wasn't normal, so let's stop the blaming. people need to take accountability of their own nonsense. what he said was insane, and people are either going to be disgusted, agree with him, or defend him just because he's trump.

any further info on Gabe Davis being inactive yesterday?
Stenbar replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall
I can't stand Coleman, he seems like he has an entitled attitude, but that was an awesome block, textbook block driving his legs through the entire block. Will never be called a hold when it's blocked like that. However that was his moment. -
In real NFL terms, requiring your QB and offense to rip off 5 straight TDs to win a game disqualifies your defensive performance. Allen and co are completely taken for granted. The standards are not the same. McD’s standard is only allow 31 points instead of 35 and we’ll call it a triumphant performance. Allen and the offenses’ standard is “score a TD every time you touch the ball to give us a chance to win the game at the end.” It’s legitimately Stockholm syndrome at this point.

11 were accepted. They actually called 15. -
Just record any games with no teams listed from now till Thursday, it's bound to be one of them.

I was sure it was a catch but looking super close now it really seems like a loophole type thing there really isn’t a rule for. Looked like a late shove by jones got him in position to even do this so pretty obvious dpi, but I think Shakir catches it first then they fight for possession for awhile and there’s probably a brief moment where jones has more control of it and shakir barely has a hand on it but Shakir gets his hands back in there before he goes to the ground

I think you should be worried about them after the Ravens. You just got emotionally beaten against the Bills. The Ravens play very physical in Decmeber and the defense gets better about now... Either way, they're gonna hit you. Emotionally frustrated and let down, next week physically banged up, lick your wounds against the Jets... But then finish against the Dolphins who have a 5% chance of making it at the 1pm window... It spells for some hard football and you can't rest week 18. The next 3 weeks are not going to be kind to the Patriots without regard to win/loss. 2 hard games right now, a trap Jets game, a division for against the dolphins who always blow it....I expect 3-0 but there are going to be some bruises for round 1

Can the Chiefs miss the playoffs? (Update: ELIMINATED)
DrDawkinstein replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
None of those players you named were top 10 picks. Which is the whole point of the post. 32, 54, 28, 31. No man's land. Right where we'll be picking still. The last time they picked in the top 10 they landed... checks notes... a guy named Patrick Lavon Mahomes II. How did he turn out? -
Debate Over: Drake Maye can’t hold Josh Allen’s jockstrap
BADOLBILZ replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
The bolded "THIS SEASON" is not in the screen shot where you praised Maye at all. Yeah I think @Einstein is definitely being hyperbolic in his criticism of you but the screenshot basically just reads like "Maye is better this and Maye is better that". I don't presume it's in context but I do get the feeling that there has been a lot of grass is greener on the other side, prisoner of the moment takes about Maye this season. I think I have a bit more than normal Bills-fan perspective on the Maye because I had followed his college and pro career so closely and I've seen the kind of warts that we saw in the second half yesterday on a number of occasions already. -
Name a single coach he has a losing record against. Just one. Thanks.

Let quit giving this whiny ***** and all the whiny pats fans anymore thought or any of your time. Lions dont care about the opinions of sheep -
The thing about Donohoe's moves is mostly they were the obvious ones that were almost board consensus. To the point where any of those guys could have done it just as easily with just as much success.

Game week thread - Bills at Browns
Royale with Cheese replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm really considering taking my son to this game. It's about a 10 hour drive. I haven't finished Christmas shopping so this would be one of his presents. Tickets are dirt cheap. I can get really good seats, next to the field for like $110 a piece. This memory of going to another game I think would mean more. Not to mention I took him to the Falcons and Panthers game. We're already going to Buffalo next week for the Eagles game for our annual trip to a home game. I think I gotta do it. -

Trump’s Rob Reiner Post
The Frankish Reich replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Nobody needs to repeat all the stuff that's been said about Trump. He's insane, he's senile, he's a con man, he has adult ADHD (that was my contribution), etc. What strikes me is his total lack of empathy. To the extent I know of Charlie Kirk, I didn't agree with much he said. I saw that shooting. I was horrified. I immediately thought of his kids without a father. I don't think I'm unusual. That's what we mean by empathy. I can put myself in his (his family's) place and actually feel something. When I saw Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed by their own addict son, I immediately thought but for the grace of God ... I don't know that they did anything wrong as parents; their one kid wound up an unstable addict; my kids didn't. I guess that's what we mean by "empathy." I felt like I knew what it must be like to be trying to help a kid for 15 years as he goes in and out of rehab, only to have him turn on you. Total lack of empathy? We have a word for that. Sociopath. -
Since Obama the president has lowered himself to bizzare polarizating crap. I leave Bush2 out because he didn't say stupid things about people just things. Obama saying trayvon martin could be his kid despite trayvon being a stupid thug was dumb. Obama insulting trump and other opponents was quite normal and taken as humor. Trump saying it is the worst ever. Beside that Obama didn't say as much as he did as much bad *****. Biden insulted every day Americans calling them stupid on multiple occasions. Calling Republicans bad people. Calling small town people insults ... It goes on and on.. so cry me a river that this is the first time I've seen you displeased a figurehead does this. Trump runs his mouth too much. But sadly, I agree with the sentiment even if hos words are wrong. Much like Charlie Kirk. I didn't agree with much of what he said, I'm not religious at all for example. I'm also far more conservative on many beliefs. So, the guy who stood between me and liberals was taken out for being too conservative... I know that I am now as likely to be assaulted as ever.
