One Thing No One Is Talking About Regarding Last Night's Game
MPL posted a topic in The Stadium Wall
A lot of talking points are going around after last night's game. But the one thing that no one is talking about is how irresponsible it is for the NFL to let fans view preseason games. Yes, it's live football. But it's not football intended for fan consumption. Fans don't know how to process what they are seeing. Look at the results of last night's game. The NFL has worked this unassuming message board in an absolute friendly. We have panic posting being labeled as, "I'm not panicking." We're fantasizing about 2024 draft pics being cut. And over in Chicago? My goodness, what a fever they've been whipped into over in the windy city after Caleb Williams stepped up into that beautiful pocket play after play while Landon Jackson tried his best to not move like a figurine on a slot-hockey machine, and Caleb floated perfect grapefruit after perfect grapefruit over the head of UDFA Walk-On Player Joe Andreesen. It's unfair and downright cruel to those fans to dangle that carrot in front of their eyes. And all because the NFL had to flip on a few cameras and Fox Sports was like, "yeah, we'll show your little football practice because no one is watching baseball anymore." The NFL has gone too far. They say they care about the fans but it's things like this that shows they don't give a damn about us. Because if the NFL truly cared about its fans, they wouldn't expose us to preseason football and then leave us on our own to interpret it. Shame on you, NFL. Televising preseason football is irresponsible. File under: Satire. -
Can a McD team be tough enough?
Captain Hindsight replied to Toledo Bill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Right? And they have been blown out in like 3 games over 5 years. Bills fans love being miserable -
Now I’m not saying that there aren’t concerns some guys were out of position but like what I and a couple others have said, the Bills were playing 2/3s vs the Bears ones (with a few exceptions and then they were playing their 3/4s vs the Bears twos. The Bills never even gave themselves a shot at a fair fight. This was clearly a game for the Bills to establish their depth chart, to make final decisions on their last 3-5 roster spots, and who they feel is worthy of keeping around on their PS. It’s also not a true picture of a player in a game scenario either for the regular season. As an example let’s bring up Joe Andreessen. I think we’d all agree he looked realllyyyyy bad last night and he did. I think we can also agree that this was the first time that Andreessen looked completely out of his depth. Well why would that be? Did he have a really bad night? I mean that’s possible for sure. Could it also be that he didn’t have Matt Milano next to him and Ed Oliver/Greg Rousseau in front of him and a healthy secondary behind him I think that’s a more likely scenario

I like him more than Moore.

It’s because our D is soft, not sure what else to say. McD has these guys playing on their heels terrified to make big mistakes so they give up a lot of easy plays waiting for the opposing team to make the mistakes. Against better teams they get chewed up, that’s why all our playoff exits look similar. Even the Ravens game, it wasn’t our D that made a play at the end to save the game, Ravens walked down the field with ease to score a TD. Bills got lucky Ingram dropped an easy catch where our D had no one in the vicinity of him to actually break up the play.

If you are cutting Hamlin, do it now...
Captain Hindsight replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall
I swear Bills fans create drama out of nothing -
At least Beane went hard after the D-line this year in the draft and FA. I'm always surprised Beane doesn't get more heat for the failures in the playoffs. When you look at who's rotating and playing a lot of snaps in the playoffs, it's not a huge surprise the D struggles against good teams. Austin Johnson, Jordan Phillips, AJ Klien, Elam (I can't believe they didn't try Ingram), Dodson, Linval Joseph, etc. A bit of it is ***** luck with injuries at the worst times, but I'd really like to shift away from signing 30 year old vets just because you trust them in your system.

Elijah Moore.......I think he is trending toward not making the roster
Mat68 replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall
Samuel is already practicing. Moore isnt worth the roster Gymnastics. Samuel is a larger more dynamic player than Moore. -
Davis Webb calling plays for the Broncos
Mr. WEO replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't see Payton giving up play calling in season. -
And in other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

I can't watch because I just bet all 22 of them suck just like it did in the game ...

Rule Questions (Tuck/Intentional Grounding)
SoCal Deek replied to co_springs_billsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’ve always felt the problem is the word “intentional”. It has no meaning at all anymore. It did when the rule was first created. Then along came Tom Brady and the entire idea went out the proverbial window. -

Captain Hindsight replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
The only thing Peterman and Dart have in common is they both play QB -
No. Bears had 12 Bills had 10 I think.
-
I'd pit Prairie Prince against anyone (Tubes)...
-
I know the Bears were playing with eleven….but wouldn’t All 22 imply that the Bills had eleven out there as well. Could’ve fooled me!

Good Night / Bad Night - Pre-season Game 2

Anybody else getting nostalgic seeing a punter at the top of the "good night" list? -
Does there need to be a rethinking of the basic D?
ChronicAndKnuckles replied to oldmanfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’ve been saying this for years. I hate this bend don’t break crap. It wreaks of Dick Jauron who’s were statistically good, but didn’t strike fear in any real offenses. I wish we could go back to that Jim Schwartz D, man. That defense was downright vicious and didn’t play scared. -
He is also 0-7 on the road in the playoffs and 2 losses at home. What matters is the playoffs
-
I am telling you, there are Valum & Prozac shortages
-
Far superior? If Mitch is better it’s marginal. I think they both suck and the team needs to make a real attempt at finding a legitimate backup QB. Josh needs his Frank Reich v2.0 It’s not only about making the preseason watchable, but also about being fair to the pass catchers who are trying to get evaluated. Bad QB play affects the OL and the WRs/TEs.

The Bills have lost 4 times in the last 5 years in the playoffs to the chiefs. The answer is no -
Does there need to be a rethinking of the basic D?
NewEra replied to oldmanfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
We won’t have a clue until we’ve played some regular season games. Things that could develop into a problem: -Injuries- ruiner if certain players get hurt -Bishop- doesn’t look like he’s playing free, too much thinking, not enough reacting. -Tre White getting picked on- why throw at Benford when you don’t have to? I don’t think Benford will get much action this year. Especially on 3rd downs. - Defending screens- If we can get into the top 12 getting off the field on 3rd down, I think we’ll be in great shape.
