Time to discuss Reid Ferguson...

Apparently there is a "tell" on FG's from the holder as to when the snap is happening -

I rarely speak up as always love your takes. I think, unless MCD gets a handle on this defense, we are headed for our 5th one and done in the playoffs when things get real. At some point, 17 won't be able to put on the cape and bail out that coaching staff (see last 5 playoff games). I am getting 1991 vibes again - so much talent, terrible coaching. Give me a Parcels or Gibbs back then and I'm pretty sure some of those Lombardi's hit home. Now saying that, anyone who thinks you are going to blow out any NFL team on any given Sunday is crazy. They won by double digits and that's impressive against any NFL team but lets be real, the Bills sit in that base nickel (I think the number I saw was 57-60% of the time) with 2 undersized LB's at the point of attack, along with a 280 pound NT in Oliver, and rush 4 so they get gouged on the ground- a lot. Quiet frankly, I don't know why teams pass at all as it took that coaching staff in the Bal game until the 4th quarter to move into 4-3 with some beef and even yesterday, 3rd quarter until they added Williams and lets be honest here, Hamlin wouldn't start on a practice squad and Tre is not the Tre we all remember, he has been getting cooked religiously, which is why they sat him for the Strong yesterday. What's the saying? Offensive wins games but defense wins championships? We might have to admit we have become the definition of insanity, same thing every year and expect a different result. I think there are no excuses this year, the stars have aliened - league MVP, easiest schedule in the NFL, ton of talent and an offense that is avg 30 points or more a game, with ease mind you. Some questions I ask now - Does 17 have a long enough cape this year that when they score 50 will he score 51? When is enough is enough for him? Is Allen the next Philip Rivers? best that never was? Is this a 6-12 team without 17? Can we get more then 2 games from Milano without injury? Is it players on defense or scheme? Both? When do the Bills go "all in"? - that, THAT right there is the biggest question and has been for the last 3 years for me. Would the Bills getting to the big game with a Belichick or a Reid? Say what you want about Brady (he is the GOAT) but there were a few of those rings because of that Pats defense if I recall. I hope this is THE year, but from what I saw last night with the Chiefs, I have doubts that it will be any different and I assure everybody here, if we end up playing the Ravens in the playoffs, they will not make the same mistake twice and they will pound Henry until his legs fall off.. I know I would

The Worthy Trade Keeps Looking Worse and Worse
Alphadawg7 replied to Bills Costa Rica's topic in The Stadium Wall
A good post that will get glossed over because people are not willing to look at facts that don't support preexisting opinions or bias. The silliest part about all this is that for most people, they can't wrap their heads around possibility each team got the guy that fit what their team needed, was looking for, and fits their offense best. -

9/28/2025 Bills vs Saints post game thread
WideNine replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
The bottom line is the Bills are winning and are sitting at 4 and 0 on top of the AFC and there is room for optimism that they have not peaked and there is certainly room for growth. There have been some frustrating inconsistencies and missed opportunities to take control of some games that have you on the edge of your seat as a fan just begging them to put that team away. The defense did keep the Saints bottled up and off the score sheet during that 2nd qtr. offensive lull so there have been some flashes. Shaq Thompson has looked solid at LB. Special Teams felt like they struggled a bit with penalties, poor punts, and poor punt returns/field position which made it seem like the field was tilted our way for a long stretch and we were playing too much in the shadow of our own EZ. We are usually pretty solid when it comes to managing and flipping field position in our favor. I think OBD may be considering Codrington as a replaceable piece, but I have to admit that I like having him as a returner. I feel like he has really settled that role that had been a bit of an adventure in seasons past, but certainly a luxury if that is all he does on the team. I have heard speculation that they are looking ahead at freeing up spots, and perhaps they are also giving some visibility to Curtis Samuel to boost trade value? Teams realize that the Bills were struggling getting set on D and as predicted the Saints went with quick snaps and no huddles to take advantage of that and it worked a few times, and we saw McDermott having to burn a few timeouts to get things settled. It seemed like his adjustments were effective so that is good. On at least one occasion I think McD had a good point that the Refs were not allowing the defense the time to match an offensive substitution. This reinforces my general impression that we had the "F" grade officials for this game. Per NFL Rules: if the offense substitutes one or more players, the defense is allowed a reasonable opportunity to substitute as well. Referee responsibility: The officials — particularly the umpire — will stand over the ball to prevent a quick snap until the defense has had a fair chance to respond. I think this was what had McDermott hopping mad is that they were not waiting for the Bills defensive substitutions and preventing the quick snap. "No huddle" or "tempo" offenses: If the offense does not substitute, they can snap the ball quickly, and the defense must be ready without delay. -
I am 100% confident that it was my fault we were in a slump in the 2nd. I took off my Kyle Williams jersey in the 2nd because I was so hot at the game. Once I realized they were in a slump and the only thing that changed was lack of KW jersey, I immediately put it back on and that was when Bishop had his pick and they cruised the rest of the game. I apologize for the inconvenience and will be wearing the jersey for every second of every game the rest of the year.

I actually thought we were headed in the direction of Turd Ferguson on this one.......

I don't know if the issue was crowd noise as much as the Saints coaches saw on film, the Bills are maybe slow to line up after plays. It also seemed like the Bills pass rush pushed forward well, but repeatedly left the middle wide open for Rattler to escape. Could again be their coaches saw this on film and knew they'd often be facing two rookie DT's so took advantage of it. Supposedly Moore was this offensive genius, maybe he is and figured all this out. Saw a stats today too that the Bills went from giving up 8.9 yards per pay in Q1 to 3.9 the last 3 quarters, so maybe they did figure things out. But do agree the coaches need to figure this out if that is what's going on.

A snarky question from a reporter isn't a reason to be physically imposing to a female to the extent that I don't find her question, or the tone in which it was asked even worth mentioning. This is a Ben Johnson problem. Full stop. There's no excuse for it.

Ironically, these two plays created 10 points for our offense and helped seal the victories in both. -
Democrats Feeling the Pressure to Force Gov't Shutdown, and a Familiar Name is Behind It Becky Noble In the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump has discussed openly the possibility of investigating any left-wing groups that might be inciting political violence. When the topic of political violence comes up, we usually think of groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and a few others. Currently, left-wing agitators are busy targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. But there are leftist troublemakers lurking everywhere. One of those places is right in the middle of the ongoing debate over a possible partial government shutdown, and it is a name that is synonymous with left-wing agitators. The group "Indivisible" is one we have heard of before. They have been an integral part of the Trump "resistance" movement and have been behind some of the "No Kings" protests. The non-tax-deductible arm of the group, Indivisible Project, has received a total of $7.6 million in grants over the last eight years from, surprise, the Soros Open Society Foundation. Their latest project takes them to Capitol Hill, where they are prodding Senate Democrats into refusing to come to a bipartisan funding agreement with Republicans and Trump. Indivisible's website even has a form, complete with a script and talking points for loyal foot-soldiers, who are urged to contact Democrat senators by phone. https://redstate.com/beckynoble/2025/09/29/democrats-feeling-the-pressure-to-force-govt-shutdown-and-its-no-surprise-who-its-from-n2194528

9/28/2025 Bills vs Saints post game thread
Sierra Foothills replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
To the bolded, I'm pretty sure the Bills are doing a lot of self-scouting and testing of various strategies, tactics and personnel. I believe that's why the margins of victory have been what they've been the last two weeks... because the team recognizes that this part of the schedule gives them a little leeway to test out different approaches and players. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW – At the One-Quarter Mark
Big Turk replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
I mean Tua just put up 315 yards the week before against the Pats and then had 146 against us and averaged 1.4 yards in the air per completion and at one point midway thru the 3rd quarter was averaging -0.5 yards in the air per completion. Rattler had over 200 yards passing in every other game this year and put up 126 yards against us. Fields just came off putting up 218 yards against the Steelers with a 72% completion rate and had 27 yards against us with a 27% completion rate. Seems a little odd all these players have better games against other teams since our D sucks so badly. Also seems odd that since our D sucks so badly it's averaged allowing 16.5 PPG and 243 YPG over the last 3 weeks without any of the opponents ever reaching 300 yards of offense even when accounting for the poor run D. I mean that's baseline average in the NFL these days, really not even...around 320-330 is average. Seem like you might be overreacting to how "bad" the D has been because you don't watch other games which means you have no perspective of what is normal and what isn't around the NFL. Is there room for improvement? Sure. Are they some sort of "worst in the NFL D" like many here think? Not even close. -
Where is Landon Jackson ???
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes lets cut a 3rd round pick. Great idea! And yet going into this weekend the Bills were in the top 5 in pressure rate. So the Bills are affecting the QB and making him move off his spot, just not getting the sacks. I would be very hard to put Bishop in the trash can as it would be well overflowing by all the other players the fans wanted in there, starting with Spenser Brown, Coleman as you mention, Knox, Bass, and many others I can't even recall. Who should we sit instead of Jackson? The team is only going to make 4 DE's active, the only one you could possibly argue to sit would be Solomon and to me it's not at all surprising the a 5th rounder with a full year of experience under his belt can beat out a 3rd round rookie. They've also talked about how playing DE is much harder to learn everything you need to know that DT. I saw posts on some thread questioning why draft him if he's not going to play. That answer is simple, at the end of this year both Bosa and Epenesa are free agents and even at DT Jones is likely gone along with Phillips and IMO unless Oliver either has a massive year or agrees to a pay cut he could also be gone as he has a very high cap number. And while he had a great game 1, it's hard to have a massive year when not playing so that could work against him too. Jackson very likely was drafted to replace Epenesa next season, maybe they will re-sign Bosa depending how his year goes and how much he wants, but next years D-line could look much different. -
Those statements just closed the deal for me. I'm sold!!

To be fair, we pick late in rounds and it’s harder to find instant contributors.
