THE ROCKPILE REVIEW â I Never Leave Early
Chandler#81 replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
to the bolded & italics âBeing fat, dumb and stupid is no way to go through life, son..â Bâmoresâ Achilles heel is their Guards. Itâs singularly why Oliver feasted. I donât anticipate a repeat performance from him at the Jets. *POOF!* He disappears. I left plenty of games early as itâs a long way back to Dansville. Mostly blowout wins. Never had anything like this happen after I left. Nice article otherwise. -
Everybody knows the Bills are signing Christian Wilkens What's the big secret here ?

Youâre seeing one right now. How many times does it seem the Josh Allen led Bills do something thatâs never been done in NFL history? Look at some of the things Allen has done that never have been, I.e., 40 plus TDâs in consecutive seasons, more than double the next guy in 2 TD passes and 2 TD rushes in a game.

Nearly three days after that instant classic I have further thoughtsâŚ

Allen was on fire in this game. He looked like he was in complete control of the offense and on top of his game. The ball spot on his slide was absolutely terrible. There was also a terrible spot of a dump off throw to Shakir deep in Bills territory. The second and third offensive series for the Bills was trash play calling. Just way too conservative and predictable. In games like these, need to have urgency on every possession. -
The people of Nepal seem to have had enough of the communists and their corruption... This is change I can believe in...

The Bills are the better team and should win, but itâs not as easy as that. First, thatâs not the Buffalo defensive scheme, and second, Fields actually had a very good day throwing the ball against the Steelers and has a legit stud to throw to (Wilson). I think the Jets will score 20âŚthe question is if they can score 30 because itâs hard to envision anyone keeping Allen & Co. from putting up that many points on a weekly basis.
-
Iâm still trying to sort out how that wasnât called. I understand that itâs week 1 and the refs are still getting their ish together like the teams⌠but it was blatantly obvious with the jersey stretching. The only rational I had was that Hussey decided to keep the flags low like it was a playoff game. đ¤ˇââď¸ As for Oliver, the whole defense may not have shown up ready to rock, but Oliver was a problem for the Ravens. This defense has needed someone to step up in big moments. Oliver did several times in that game. Letâs hope he keeps this up.

No corresponding cut with signing Prater?
BillsFanForever19 replied to The Jokeman's topic in The Stadium Wall
Jordan Poyer is already on the Practice Squad. His release was just a 24 hour formality to get Gabe Davis on the squad, so they could then place him on the Practice Squad Injured List. The team and Poyer knew when they did it that they'd be bringing him back the next day and they did just that. We're allowed six veterans on the Practice Squad. Our six were Jordan Poyer, Jordan Phillips, Dane Jackson, Matt Prater, Kendrick Green, and Dan Feeny (with Davis exempt and on the injured list). Now that Prater has been signed to the 53, we have one open spot on the Practice Squad for a veteran. If Davis is ready to practice soon, they may just move him on now. But if there's still some time, we'll be bringing someone else on. -

@Chandler#81 not writing off the Chefs but they are no longer the class of the AFC. Of course, you never want to count Mahomes out. -
The play doesnât end when he catches the ball, even though itâs a penalty as soon as he touches it. So, for example he could fumble or there could be offsetting penalties or something.

Well, another worthless stat..total QBR
eball replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
I know some people hate using W-L record as a measuring stick for QBs but it matters. Lamar played a technically and statistically great game, but he didnât make any plays on their final three drives to win the game. Iâd be willing to bet if you asked him heâd say the same thing and give Josh the credit. -
1) I fear everyone is writing off the Chiefs. To be the best, ya gotta beat the best 2) I expected all of this and expect more 3) how Hawes hung on to that pass was impressive. His blocking is fantastic. Keep working on catching the ball 4) the high fade to Coleman IS our best 2pt play 5) Coleman being mugged on the 2pt try and nearly stripped of his jersey was egregious Defensive Holding 6) Completely agree. He was really hurt by that hit & I think his injury will be listed with the League 7) Ditto. Knox got in the way and nearly lost us the game. Josh just isnât that inaccurate on these throws 8) he breaks that tackle and suddenly a WIDE open field! We caught them in a blitz I believe 9) February

My dad was an original ST holder, and as a kid I learned from him that you donât leave a Bills game early. It stuck with me through adulthood and even though I wasnât in OP Sunday night, if I was I wouldnât have left. I was at the Houston comeback game and didnât leave (I was with my dad, of course). One of my best friends, with whom I tailgate when I come up for games, almost always leaves early, no matter the score. For him itâs about wanting to avoid the hassle of getting out of the stadium. I shame him relentlessly and his wife texted me Monday morning that they stayed! It always amazes me how many locals use traffic as their excuse. You made the decision to attend the game, which means youâve already dedicated X number of hours to the event. Another 45 minutes in traffic is the tipping point? When I lived in Buffalo we used postgame to fire up the grill and hang out for another hour or so. And how about planning ahead regarding work the next day if itâs a night game? To the poster from CA who left early â man, I just donât get it, particularly when you traveled across the country to be there. I guess itâs just a psychological thing, not wanting to stay and be disappointedâŚI suppose I understand that in December and January when youâre also freezing your ass off, but not on a gorgeous September evening! Go Bills!

It is not useless but like all stats it does not tell the whole story. If you view it as a ranking of qbs from 1 to n that is useless -

Matt_In_NH replied to The Jokeman's topic in The Stadium Wall
They just waited to put him on the 53 so his contract was not guaranteed. There was an open spot -
404, agreed two different toes of WRâs is unfair as one can argue whichever position that reflects their interests. The reality is both guys have done some unique things, and thus worked out for both teams. McBeane and Josh wanted Coleman. He had a good first game this year, and Worthy had some excellent plays for the Chiefs last year. One game doesnât make a career, but a couple things I liked was his improved strength, his cuts for YAC, and his ability to get over the defenders.

I'm guessing Jordan Poyer. -
What a fantastic way for our young players to get a taste of âbig boyâ NFL football, playing against a co-Super Bowl favorite. Is there any game remaining on the schedule that will present as much of a challenge? I love the thought of those young D-linemen watching the film and seeing how Ed Oliver played. Joshua Palmer absolutely upgraded the WR room. He ran precise routes, was sure-handed, and seems to love being here. How about those TEs? 7 catches, 98 yards, and a tuddy (shoulda been two). I hate to complain about anything related to that offense, but the 2-point conversion attempts were ass. For everything that went right to enable that comeback, how about the horrible call that almost cost them the chance (ref spot on Joshâs slide that didnât give him the 1st down, which was followed by a penalty and sack)? Thereâs no way to prove it, but I believe that Oliverâs crushing hit on Lamar on 3rd down impacted Harbaughâs decision to punt. On the tipped TD to Coleman Iâm pretty sure Josh was throwing to Shakir, not Knox, and if Knox doesnât tip it we might have scored anyway. A Raven DB got to Shakir late. Cook running through Roquan Smithâs tackle attempt after catching that swing pass was fun to watch. Incredible hustle play by Wiggins to prevent the TD. If the rest of the season plays out like we hope, itâs hard to envision not seeing these guys again in January.

Eligible Receivers - 2pt Coleman Non-Catch
Mark Long Beach replied to saundena's topic in The Stadium Wall
DEFINITELY not an obvious challenge. I think it would have been a poor challenge, and thought so at the time. It's a judgement of the ref for when Allen starts to slide, not where he ends up. Even if they moved the ball forward, most likely we wouldn't have gained the full yardage needed for the first down. That would have been a disaster as we could have lost that timeout which would have lost us the game.
