So it should be clear we won’t get there rushing 4
finn replied to dayman's topic in The Stadium Wall
Speaking as a fan, not as any kind of expert, I agree. McDermott has fielded high-EPA defenses, but allowing third and long completions appears to be a feature, not a bug, of his philosophy, a baked-in outcome of a philosophy that assumes, usually correctly, that the other team's offense will make a mistake at some point. So you keep the action in front of you, rushing four (ineffectually) and hoping for a dropped pass, penalty, or turnover. Playing not to lose. (Yes, yes, he's aggressive on offense.) To be fair, that approach can and does work in the regular season, at least if you have the best quarterback in NFL history on offense. But even Allen can't make up for the wheels falling off on defense year after year after year after year. I see no sign of change, either. Maybe Bosa will deliver what Miller did in those short eight weeks, but that won't be enough when the face KC in January. In short, it's Groundhog Day, again. Come January, we'll watch McDermott once again turning into a little boy in KC, clapping on his defense to another collapse. The only hope we have for our team is if Allen and the offense can in fact score more than the 33 points McDermott's defense surrenders to KC like clockwork every year. If The Bills succeed in the playoffs this year, it will be in spite of their head coach, not because of him. -
Bledsoe was toppled more often and in more cities than statues of Lenin and Marx. 😁

Well, I'm sure Hailee enjoys it 😁

(I couldn't find the one bills PR used of his back punting from our own end zone but that one)

They were talking about some guy being in the process of this change for the Packers during last night's preseason game.

Screw reality television. Just give us Daboll or Chuckie losing it on the sidelines in game conditions. 😁 -

Correct, in fact we received word late yesterday that the Browns were retiring Shedeur Sanders' jersey. There was even a photo and everything. -
Thank goodness!

WRs converted to S / CB? 🤔

I did think that a lot of outstanding multi position players from high school then would be winnowed down to their best positions by college. By the time of graduation, most were either offense or defense. -
Those pictures loaded SLOW, didn't they?

Preseason Week 1 Giants at Bills - Game thread

Daboll never became unhinged but yesterday wasn't a test because he was given no opportunity for that to happen. He was cordial and smiling pre-game with McDermott and the game played out with the Giants in the lead and playing relatively well for the duration. Plus it was the first preseason game so there was no fuel for the fire as far as Daboll overheating. -
Kelly. He turned the entire franchise around.

I hear Bildos have been duct taped to it…,

I dont think so. I don't think a championship makes a statue automatic. Kemp was very ordinary of a qb.

Well they have several shared words as their definition. They're certainly not opposite terms as you suggested. -
Josh and Bruce. A statue of Bruce in the 'Bruce is Loose' pose is pretty intimidating walking into a stadium.

Before the game I was iffy about a Super Bowl run. After the game Super Bowl is back on. Very very good team -
I had no idea this was still around. My mom and dad once had it long after I was out of the house. I tried to download work email while visiting and it was too slow. You‘ll miss it

Cooper was long done last year. wouldn't be able to put on a jersey over that fork... come on...

Good Night / Bad Night - Pre-season game 1
HappyDays replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm not going to declare him a bust this early but that was as bad a debut as I've ever seen from a top 100 Bills pick. A player that Beane openly admitted he would have picked at #62 if we had kept that pick. He barely looked like a functional football player and he had a dumb mental mistake that cost his fellow rookie an interception. Admittedly I was never as high on him in the draft as a lot of other fans. I am big on movement skills when evaluating prospects. Stiff straight line athletes are not usually successful in the NFL. Size and strength can go a long way but he needs to develop some kind of pass rush repertoire or he will be out of the league in 2 years. Awful start but plenty of time to improve. I expect him to be a healthy scratch once Hoecht returns from suspension.
