Are YOU a Bills Hoarder?
MarlinTheMagician replied to Disgusted ills fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Autographs from BOTH Jack Kemp and Butch Byrd, bros! More stuff than I should have, less than many. Tend to favor older stuff, maybe because I am getting - ah, shall we say, more experienced! -
I think if you hired Campbell on 11/24 - there would have been a chance to cull the mass defections to VT, and especially WV. And it would have looked like Matt Campbell was Thor first choice instead of their 10th. Kraft would look like much less of a buffoon.
-
Cam has been playing as our dime actually most of the last two years. And has played reasonably well. Would not want to rely on him at outside corner.
-
Exactly and who cares if it gets changed to a different name. The sport is still played the same. Call it dingbeberry slapstick ball and people will still watch and enjoy. What a dumb article to get offended about If he were running the bills and we had Josh Allen I’d bet we’d have a SB by now. No way he would let McBeane stay on this long without any hardware with the best QB in the league
-
This is a fair take and I agree with your core point for sure. I do still think there are more opportunities to get Keon the ball that we either haven't taken or we just are not using him in a way to do so. I want to see more slants, comebacks crossers, etc. I will also say this, many of the passes Allen attempted to get to Keon on those back shoulder throws or "50/50" balls have been poorly thrown and put in places that greatly reduced the chances to complete. Allen often throws them with the wrong trajectory, puts in a harder to catch spot, or in a place where the defender can easily disrupt or defend. So if we are going to run those back shoulder or 50/50 balls as often as they have tried to do them, then Allen, Brady, Keon, etc need to study how other tandems do it well and consistently. Like study Davante Adams both with Rodgers and Stafford for example. We as a whole have been trying to execute these poorly, and its both issues with Allen, the play design and Keon. We just do not execute these attempts with any consistency that will raise conversion probability. And I am not putting it all on Allen, plenty of times Keon also didn't do his part properly too. But its a collaborative failure between poorly thrown balls, poor play design, and poor execution by Keon.

It’d be funny if the eagles lost in round 1 of the playoffs and the bills were still alive and slay then decides he wants to be a part of the team

Giants D - Super Bowl XXV
MarlinTheMagician replied to MarlinTheMagician's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree! Sadly. But we can put some pretty good athletes out there in the look - Williams, Shaq, Milano - mix in Buffalo Joe or Cam depending on whether you want to be a little heavier or a little faster at that moment. I will die if we sit in our usual zone and its fish-in-barrel time again. As Teddy Roosevelt said (in substance) in "Man in the Arena" - Better to live greatly and fail than to never have lived at all! -

Tomorrow we play Burrow. Tomorrow we beat Burrow. -
If anything, the NFL has made kicking and the "foot" a bigger part of the game than ever. Kickoff returns are turning into a "start at the 40 or 50" proposition, 60 yard FGs are like what 50 yarders used to be, and Tomlin LOVES to punt.
-
Agree on need to change the look for Burrow. It’s been fish in a barrel for him against us. Unfortunately LT, Carl Banks and Pepper Johnson aren’t walking through that door.
-
Actually watch Lewis play. He consistently is out of position or gets beat for a big gain. Watch most 3rd and longs and see who’s the one giving up the first down.

Giants D - Super Bowl XXV
MarlinTheMagician replied to MarlinTheMagician's topic in The Stadium Wall
I dig more than you know! I was there, but lived in New York at the time. For 20+ years my friends in New York, who were all Giants fans, sent me a Christmas card saying "Merry Christmas - I am so sorry I missed that kick." Signed: "Happy Holidays, Scott Norwood." Return address was always "The North Pole" - never did find out which of the miscreants was responsible. -
it’s an interesting debate - the classic do you pay Kirk cousins and hope you get lucky bounces or keep drafting QBs and load up a superstar roster around a draft pick
-
Cam Lewis would have been the difference for the Chiefs playoff game had he started and played the whole thing last year. He glued to Kelce and the middle playing a hybrid double nickel
-
Agree. Plus for a little guy Cam hits like a Mack truck!
-
Whenever I see highlights I close my eyes, stick my fingers in my ears and pretend the kick is good, ya dig?
-
How about “the greatest football sport in the history of mankind, unlike that trash version played by those stupid, worthless, ####hole European and Latin American countries, and wherever else that loser sport is played”?

Even though we could run with Thurman, they recognized Kelly could gash them with Lofton, Reed and Beebe. They decided - better Thurman average 7 or more a carry than be shot dead by the K-Gun. Giants used either a 2-5-4 or a 2-4-5 on many of the snaps. I feel we should be similarly creative, even if we don't use exactly what the Giants used against us or don't stay in the formations long. We need to mix it up, get Burrow off his spot once in a while, and manufacture pressure by sending different rushers from different angles of attack. In an average NFL game a defense gets 7-8 stops. I feel if we can get 5 stops, by turnover or punt, we win. I don't care how bad we look on the 5-6 possessions where we don't get a stop. We have to win on D sometimes, not all the times.

Every QB makes dumb throws, Allen included. -
So is Landon Jackson done for the year?
Urban Achievers replied to billsfan714's topic in The Stadium Wall
He’s doing great rehabbing on a commune out west -
Then it would be called Ankleball.
-
I see what you did there!
-
What a stupid idea. No, really. Stupid and lame AF. It's great that Trump didn't become the owner of the Buffalo Bills.

Musk still controls MAGA.
