Keon drops 60 in Damar's celebrity basktball gam
NewEra replied to stevewin's topic in The Stadium Wall
5 time first team defense. 4 time 2nd team defense. 4 time all star. 4 time nba champion. 1x defensive player of the year. 6’7 with the ability to defend centers and every other position Tremendous facilitator. He WILL be in the Hall of Fame. There’s snow doubt in my mind. Did I say there would be? No. Put words in my mouth. You said NEVER. I said you have no clue what you’re talking about. So you don’t like that teams realized that it was much more difficult to defend a team that has 4 3 pointer shooters on the court at the same times. Spread the d out, penetrate, kick and rotate the ball til it gets an open shot. I get it. It’s not for everyone. I hate the flopping as much as anyone. It sucks. Yes- it’s a different game now. That has nothing to do with the added skill and athleticism of the players. The skill and athleticism is at an all time high. Old school fundamentals have been replaced with new fundamentals to match the new game that’s being played. If you can’t play D nowadays, you can’t play. Defense is being played…. Teams are a lot more difficult to defend due to the rules changing and the evolution of the 3 point shot. OKC plays great defense and they may win the title with one super star and 1 star (yes, Jalin Williams is a star in the making and he also plays great D) because of how they play team defense. you don’t like it. Totally acceptable. I don’t like it as much as I used to either, but I can still watch the game (I watch nba, college, BIG3 and G-league) and see how the skill level is much greater now than it was in the 80’s. These kids play WAY more ball nowadays and have much higher levels of training and coaching available to them. And it shows. -
Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?
Einstein replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yep. There are tons of examples, but they will ignore them. Why? Because Coleman is a Bills player. And as a Bills fan, we tend to dismiss the negatives and look for the positives. If Coleman was on the Dolphins or Chiefs, he would be called a bum around here. -

Robert Foster averaged 20 YPC and 540 yards as a rookie too. -

As an outside WR who makes his living deep has been the 3rd and 4th option with bum QBs. He can’t throw it to himself. Ability isn’t always measured in stats and 40 times -
Somehow, that just got even creepier than I remember. I bet he still wants to kiss Suzy Kolber!

He’s about as good as someone who averages 30 receptions per year can be I suppose. -
now it's time to invest in carwashes, a branded BBQ sauce and a restaurant named after himself!

Keon drops 60 in Damar's celebrity basktball gam
Mr. WEO replied to stevewin's topic in The Stadium Wall
Putting Green in the HOF would be like putting Steve Kerr in as a player. Name the 6 HOFers playing Sunday night. The game has changed to where it's almost unrecognizable. No defense. Incessant flopping and begging. Fundamentals are gone---traveling and carries are allowed parts of the game now. Worst of all, the 3 point play is the basis of every offense. 20 years ago, 17% of teams shots were 3's. Now every team is over 30%--the average 34%! And they aren't better at it. This was perfectly displayed in Game 1 of the Knicks/Celtics game. Celts took 60 3's.....and hit 15 of them. It's unwatchable. I do like the special treat you left: using "AI" to make your point. That info is culled from dudes posting stuff on Reddit. lol. -
I also don't deny the existence of seven straight L's.

My memories of him is still 2017 when the ball from Dalton floated inches over his outstretched hands and fell into Tyler Boyd's hands...taking the Bills into the Playoffs for the first time in 17 years !!!!

I remember this very well. Exactly as you described it too. Apparently a lot of other fans remember the same thing. A lot of my memories from regular season games that long ago are pretty vague and yet we all remember the “CJ Mosley game”. Probably helped that it was the season opener.

I am not sure if the diminishing role of Knox in this offense is due to Knox or Brady. With the everybody eats, Knox's touches have significantly reduced. Knox has made several key plays when put on the field. The Bills moving forward with drafting of Kincaid IMHO was a head scratcher. The Bills already had that in Knox and needed a true WR..not a hybrid TE/WR I am not sure if the diminishing role of Knox in this offense is due to Knox or Brady.

I think we can sweep all 3. Miami: Miami took a few steps back for all the steps forward. They have the second best roster in the AFCE new England: sneaky good roster, a chance to succeed with Maye but a sophomore slump is always expected with a NFL QB that isn't a pure blue chip. I could see them during it out with us but their defense can't stop cook and Josh NJ Jets: a team we could overlook that could be a disruptive underdog. If anyone is going to pull off the sweep of us it is them because they're as likely as anyone. The defense is what does it. I can't see a world where we lose both or lose the AFCE. I did last year but think we are better against the AFCE this year despite being stronger against the league last year.

Thank you, zombie is all I needed to know.

Your first paragraph: Sure, but Iran was reasonable to not be compliant after being compliant. That’s what tends to happen when one side suddenly reneges on a deal! The IAEA works for the countries of the United Nations, so it is incumbent on those countries to make sure a more stringent JCPOA v2.0 is composed. Your second paragraph: Correct, I was not arguing in favor of any covert CIA government nonsense! Fully open channels of communication, like what we have with other countries of the West, must be part of any potential treaty with Iran. The Iranian theocrats are just going to have to deal with my ridiculously chic outfits in my Instagram photos. Your third paragraph: Oh boy…you are on thin ice with me, Leh-nerd. Thin. Ice. And believe me, your 24.8 BMI is the least of our problems on this frozen metaphorical pond. “Dismantlement of the genocidal Zionist project” is a peaceful proposal that simply means bestowing upon Palestinians the exact same citizen rights that Jewish Israelis enjoy, while at the same time prosecuting all war criminals within both the Israeli government and Hamas. I should also clarify that I’ve been using a colloquial definition of “non-interventionism,” when I probably should be saying “anti-imperialism.” As a self-described “ardent non-interventionist,” I still want to “intervene” multilaterally to stop blatant acts of aggression if it makes sense to do so. The MOTIVES behind military and economic pressure are paramount to me. I keep repeating myself about Israel and Gaza because you guys keep framing the Iran-Israel conflict so ignorantly! On one side, Iran’s government is a socially regressive theocracy guilty of making irresponsible verbal threats to Israel and funding terrorists/resistance fighters. On the other side, Israel is an apartheid state guilty of genocide and illegal occupation of land. Neither are good, but only one side here is initiating acts of aggression against its neighbors. Only one side here has fully functioning nuclear weapons not monitored by the IAEA. Only one side here agreed to become a member of the NPT. Which side, exactly, is the greater threat to nuclear escalation at the moment?? But fine, I’ll stop bringing up the worst human rights crisis since the Holocaust because doing so challenges your infantile black vs. white worldview. Paradigm-shifting thoughts affect poor wittle Weh-nerd in the feel-feels, and awww…Weh-nerd’s feel-feels are what weally matter!! << haughty eyeroll >> << tosses baby formula bottle at Leh-nerd’s face >> << uploads latest cut-out maxi pic to Instagram page >> << sends Instagram page link to Ali Khamenei >>
