Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?
3rdand12 replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thats it ! Love it. Great reach He still needs to train for muscling out of those short area cuts to get off coverage. And foot work plus leverage are key that type type of receiver. Even if it aint pretty. he is a big boy after all lol -
Blueberry Lemon Shandy?? Is this some sort of a joke? Down here, ordering someone a Shandy from a pub is a joke/insult!

Commanders bringing back their Super Bowl era throwbacks
WotAGuy replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
The current look is so clean, any throwback isn’t going to look as good. Never cared for the red helmets, or the wide stripes on the sleeves. -

Ranking NFL WR, TE, RB groups for 2025: Bills 28/32?
folz replied to Lionel Hutz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Barnwell's article seems like a pointless experiment. It is basically, which teams have the most stud/household name skill players (preferably WRs). It by no means determines how any of these offenses will be in 2025 (with or without their QB). And pretty much any fan could look across the teams and say who has more studs than others with a quick glance. No need to even bring analytics into it, it is a pretty obvious task. But that is fantasy football type of stuff, not team building. And even though he claims to have used metrics/analytics, etc., a lot of his decisions were obviously made on pure opinion (particularly in regards to injuries, rookies and second/third-year players, etc.). And why weight receivers higher? Yes, it is a passing league (and they get paid more, not sure what that has to do with it), but many teams went back to a heavier/more balanced run game over the last couple of years. And if you look at total yards from scrimmage in 2024, in the top 32, there are 21 RBs, 10 WRs, and 1 TE. There are only two WRs in the top 18 (all the rest are RBs). Eight of the non-QB touchdown leaders in 2024 were RBs, with only 2 WRs. Both receivers and RBs are reliant on the QB and offensive line to get their jobs done. Plus, there are many teams with a better player at RB1 and TE1 than WR2 or WR3, etc. Weighting WRs higher automatically shoots teams with say two stud WRs up the rankings. But maybe because they are paying those two WRs a lot, their offensive line isn't as good, or their RBs and TEs are a step down, or they're lacking in depth. Or maybe it's because they aren't paying a franchise QB yet, or their defense suffers for it. Plus, he's comparing three players of one group (WRs) vs. only 1 player in the RB and TE groups. So, he's almost adding a double-weight to the receivers. Why not just make the article, who has the most stud receivers, or the best receiving group, instead of making it seem like he is comparing all skill groups evenly. In 2024, 15 different skill players touched the ball for Buffalo. In 2023, 14 different skill players touched the ball. Our offense spreads the ball around to more than just 5 players. As does every offense to some extent. Most teams run tandems at RB, all teams have two-TE packages, guys get injured, many teams rotate guys based on the game or opponent, etc. By not including depth, he is definitely skewing the picture. Yes, if you were to rank only TE1s, Kincaid (based on current production, not potential*) would probably be in the 12-15 range. But when you add Knox, Davidson, and a true blocking TE in Hawes, I think our TE group will definitely be top 10, maybe top 5ish. Same goes for the running back room when you add Davis and Johnson to Cook. [Plus a top 5 O-line.] [*Barnwell's opinion also shows through on which "potential" guys he thinks will improve and which won't.] So, the article basically comes down to who would have the best offense if you remove the OC, QB, all offensive linemen, all RB depth, all TE depth, and WRs 4-6 and then you add extra weight to the top 3 wide receivers. How at that point are you even comparing offenses or being able to assess how much a GM has helped their QB? For the Bills at least, with how we run our offense, that is like saying how would the Bills offense fare if you removed Brady, Josh, the offensive line, and 66.6% of their skill players. Or if you think, QB, 5 OL, 3 RB, 3 TE, 5 WR as your main guys, Barnwell is removing 70% of the offense and comparing the rest to try and determine who would be best if you removed only the quarterback. Just not understanding the point of the article. [And from a Bills perspective, it just perpetuates the false narrative that Josh is doing it all on his own.] Either rank receiving corps as a whole (where the Bills would currently rank low), or all skill players as a whole, or the total offense without the QB (in both cases, the Bills would rank much higher). Or do a big three skill positions ranking (best WR, RB, TE trio). This in between is just some fantasy land and is misleading (according to his article's title and mission statement). [P.S. I do expect our WR corps this year to be much better than most outsiders are currently projecting. But, I understand the reason for the current projections as well and would not expect us to be more than average at best in most WR only rankings.] -
On paper. But their moves look good Yeah but he got much better as the season went along. First month he was really struggling. Hope he hits the ground proverbial running this year.

Mary Lou Retton - DWI footage. Bogus arrest!!
Wacka replied to BringBackFergy's topic in Off the Wall
If she had a problem with her ankle shr could have told the cop. If she's under the limit she could take the breathalyzer. I have balance problems if I look up (doesn't happen when I drive) from a stroke 10 years agp. Also have a bug back from taking care of my mom. If I get pulled over, I will tell the cop that and ask for a breathalyzer right away. -
Jalen Hurts is a freaking monster.

Good lord that are hurtful words ( no offense James ) < lol and a Pony. You always want a Pony . ( a Seinfeld episode reference ) Maybe i read into that OP you created about Oliver a tad too deep 😇 -
Glad some one else recalled some positives from Coach as well ! We should have some faith that McBeanes will kick tires and discuss within about a chat with Claypool. If they nod yes , I would also be cool with it. Wonder if Brady is aware of Chase's little commentary 😋

How much did you pay for gas and groceries today?
Big Blitz replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Gas was 2.80 today. Im spending less at the private sector grocery store then I was a year ago. But economists warn that may not last. -
I show this YouTube video to friends showing them what a Bills home game is like. I remind them this is during the drought years. This is one my list of things to watch before the 1st game every season.
-
Agree. Their offense is a bunch one read trigger throws like Miami does with Tua. Nix is a lot more elusive though which allows him to improvise and tuck and run if his first option isn't there. Bills O Line is imo much more formidable both in run and pass blocking.

I’ve been a very big fish guy for decades after living in Hilton Head, SC and Sarasota, FL for 30 years. Nothing better than eating what you catch! We also do chicken fairly often, and red meat is rare. Not because we are trying to go to or away from anything, we just eat what we like. It’s usually with roasted or grilled veggies as well. We had to up our game when our son married a vegetarian, and I’m sure that’s good for all of us. .

Who Are Your Sleepers For This Year??
Sojourner replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
😓 -
Well again that's why situation is everything.. that's why there are schemes and coaches and they're not all equal You could never tell me Tom Brady would be Tom Brady if he wasn't paired up with Bill belichick out the gate... Sure he won a super bowl with Tampa as a 40 year old man after being groomed by the best coach of all time for 15 plus years If the Bills draft Tom Brady I certainly don't think he remotely comes close to what he was I think that's partially the Brady Quinn conundrum... He still went in the first round it's not like he dropped to the 5th like Sanders did Brady did check every single one of Bill parcells's boxes for a successful NFL quarterback... That's why the NFL is a beast You can check all the boxes and still not get it done But intrinsically every quarterback getting drafted in the first round has tons of talent Derek Carr had a better career than David.. at 22 23 years old... I would take David every single time He just went to the worst situation possible
