Ranking NFL WR, TE, RB groups for 2025: Bills 28/32?
Orlando Buffalo replied to Lionel Hutz's topic in The Stadium Wall
You wrote much more than me and come to same point, our RB corp is top 8, our TEs are above average, and our WRs I think are better than NE, CLE, CAR, LV, TEN, ranking them 28 overall is crazy. -
This is really old news Kind of like... The Patriots are Cheaters Or Tua has a problem with concussions

Some of the calls here I don't necessarily disagree with, like the roughing the passer penalties against Mahomes. Also, with a full season to work with, you could persuasively cherry pick evidence of bias helping or hurting any team; unconscious bias is inevitable. Finally, anomalies do happen; getting pocket aced three times in a row doesn't necessarily mean the dealer is cheating. But I don't see why all this can be true AND that it's also true the refs are deliberately influencing some Chiefs game. In fact, it might be naïve to think otherwise, given the truly enormous amount of money at stake and how easy it would be to pull off. Bottom line (to me): With normal levels of ref bias, the Chiefs would have won maybe 12 games last year, would not have hosted the AFCC, and would not have gone to the Super Bowl. I'm not claiming there's a league-wide conspiracy, but I'm pretty sure someone has been putting a finger on the scale these past few years to make sure the Chiefs succeed. Why they would want a petulant, mincing whiner like Mahomes to be the poster child for the league is another question.

My perspective is that the officials are in general old men who see what they expect to see, they are not corrupt but simply incompetent. None will give up the job though because they love the pay and the spotlight
-
Chiefs have an elite coaching staff and the most clutch QB in football. They don’t need the refs’ help. They get it … but that’s likely more because of gambling than anything else.

The instant Josh throws the ball, Kincaid has to jam on the brakes, turn around and dive backwards. He's running a deep post and the ball is thrown behind him and closer to the LOS, so he has to make a complicated adjustment, getting his feet further down the field and towards the sidelines than his body weight so he can drive and jump back towards the ball. That's always going to take time for a guy whose job on the play is to be running as fast as he can. You can see him speed up his feet and swing to the left while trying to slow his upper body down. It's an extremely awkward situation, more so for a guy with bad knees. No way he's settling under it, not in that situation. And he doesn't run anywhere near 15 - 20 yards. Maybe 12 or so? Maybe. He's in a horrible situation because his legs are behind him as he sprints and he has to get them in front of him and upfield to dive back towards the ball. Go look at the All-22. You don't have to guess as you do on the broadcast footage. You can see every step. You're right that it was not a laser throw, not at all, but he didn't have an extra instant to work with. There was no way to settle under it. He sees it, knows he will have to go from running full speed to going backwards and back downfield. It takes him several steps to do that, as it would anyone. If Josh had either thrown better under duress or had maybe two-tenths of a second more to gather himself, that's a TD running away.

JA - most TDs per touch in NFL history
machine gun kelly replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not a surprise, but thanks 619er for the post. By far, my all time favorite Bills or any QB in history. I’d take him over Mahomes any day of the week and twice in Sundays. -
I mentioned keep the shout song for scoring, and for 1st downs sandman, or another fun hardcore song. On defense when we stuff them or pick up a fumble or pick, I’d add “One” from Metallica. Just the refrain. Imagine, GROOT sacks dad bod Mahomes, and “And it starts with, I CANNOT LIVE, I CANNOT DIE, ABSOLUTE HORROR, taking the life out of me”. This was pre-powerlifting song along with Freebird before meets. You don’t get up for these songs, you’re dead or in a coma. Anyway, just having fun with it. Just don’t ever change the Shout Song, and make sure you had the clips from Boomer, and Coach Levy.

That’s our MVP quarterback! Go Bills!!

Darrick vs Damar…who makes the team?
machine gun kelly replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
No thanks. He’s in the tail end of his career. We were better off with Hairston and if we needed experience with Tre. Don’t you guys remember how he left. He was a hair better than McGahee’s departure. -
I think it was the WGR morning show that re-aired the audio from the KC sports analyst. He did not do Mahomes any favors on that editorial.
-
Shocker. Im not one to blame the refs for a loss or win, but this was overwhelming. Its not like it was one game or one referee crew. its in the past so moving onto this year. At least Allen has his mvp so maybe we get a few breaks as well. I like many just want a fair game for both sides. No making excuses either way.
-
Im with you man, totally different player. Was simply implying the parallel of the journey on the team. Definitley an outside guy and for that he’s competing for the backup and potential starter roles in that boundary position against: Hairston/White/Ingram/Jackson/Porter Jr. all of whom were added this year. McDermott likes what he likes, hence the returns of White and Jackson. Unless he’s blowing the socks off them I don’t see him making it on anything else other than what you alluded to; special teams. Now, I’ll probably be wrong but that’s my stance right now. He’s in a crowded room against talent familiar to Sean and talent he obviously trusts. Strong and Hancock are the only guys from the later round I’ve seen impressive moments from collegiately to make the team given who they’re up against. One I’m inclined and hoping it is Hancock on. Not to say I’m against Strong it’s just he’s simply up against it to me personally. Codrington is a question mark. I’m on the standpoint they use Shenalt, Virgil, Darrynton Evans or even Elijah Moore for return duties this year

Different strokes for different folks

Sometimes I think you actually believe your own bullshlt. He didn't sprain a toe then "decide" it was too much. He tore both a ligament and a tendon and was forced onto IR for a long rehab.

Sal Capaccio picked Forrest … if that’s worth anything

This one is really something. Even for Trump. Notice that Trump barely even pretends that there’s an economic justification for this action. This is all about punishing Brazil for putting Jair Bolsonaro on trial. https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trumps-dictator-protection-program Please, please Appeals Court, put an end to this embarrassing nonsense.

I think Hamlin makes it over Forrest just from the fact he knows the system already. However, if Cole Bishop isn't ready to start, I could see then keeping Forrest because I think he would be a better starter. But it could really go either way. I don't actually think Cam Lewis is a lock this year, though. His guarantees aren't much, so it wouldn't be too much of a hit if he didn't make the team. Hamlin, however, has a much higher cap hit if cut. Cam Lewis is in competition with Jordan Hancock, though.

Darrick vs Damar…who makes the team?
BillsFanForever19 replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't think he's the same guy as Hardy. Like at all. And while he was a 6th Rounder, he was only taken 7 picks after Hancock, 4 picks after Hawes. Hardy is a diminutive 5'9" Nickel, who was Drafted primarily to be a Return Man and failed to impress to a point that they traded a pick for Codrington to take his roster spot. If not for the return ability in College (that didn't show up in Training Camp and the Pre-Season), Hardy was probably a UDFA. Strong is a 6'1" Outside CB with Zone coverage skills drafted to be a CB for us. He's a much better Outside CB than Hardy was a Nickel. Expected to go as high as Round 4 and fell more for being a Zone guy than anything else. And while both were technically taken in Round 6, they were effectively taken almost a Round and a half apart. Dorian Strong was taken with the 1st Pick in Round 6 (Pick 177). Daequan Hardy was taken with the 43rd Pick in Round 6 (compensatory and second to last in the Round, Pick 219). I view Lundt and Prather as the Draft Picks unlikely to make it. I'm not guaranteeing Strong makes it. But if he lives up to expectations and can play Teams, I think him beating out Ingram as the last CB (alongside Benford, Hairston, Taron, and Tre) is likely. He's more talented and has the potential to be developed into more. -
Yep, he 100% tapped out on the 2024 season when he decided the toe sprain was going to be too much for him to play with in 2024 and possibly all the way until recently. I didn't say he "quit". That's where you've lied again. Just like you probably lied about knowing he was a standout in camp last year. Saying he just quit implies that no compelling reason was given as to why he couldn't continue. He offered a compelling reason. But he still tapped out. The question is if anyone in the NFL believes anything he says and if any of it is even worth answering his phone call after what he's BEEN. A non-factor for the last 3 years. You think teams should believe in him and give him a 4th chance or whatever he's on. You also believed him when he said he had a good camp......which wasn't true. I guess we could debate the definition of gullible next.
