Bills Defense, will it get better as season goes on
Ethan in Cleveland replied to North Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall
It is not dumb to ask the question. They gave up 40 to the Ravens in a game the Bills did not have a turnover. Dolphins converted 67% of their third downs and many were in long distance. Jets QB is awful. It's the same story for all of McD's tenure. The defense periodically gets destroyed by heavy rushing attacks like Baltimore or go back to 2017 and the Saints 200 yard rushing game. The defense pads the stats against QBs like Fields and probably this week against Rattler. The defense has trouble getting off the field unless the other team makes a mistake just like the Jags and KC in the playoffs, and the Dolphins game with Tua dropping a snap, and twice with illegal man downfield. However, a fair critique of the defense can't omit the frequency with which they create timely turnovers. Credit the defense for the late game stops against the Ravens and the late INT of Tua. Problem is in the playoffs the turnovers disappear. Mahomes has 9 TD passes and zero INTs in the playoffs against Buffalo. What is dumb is to assume the same late season and playoff defensive failures will occur again. There are many new faces on defense and many are young. They may continue to develop and as others have said the PED cheats are soon to be back. Rousseau probably is not going to be this ineffective all season long. Oliver was a beast and does not need to be rushed back. The problem is that young players tend to fade as the season goes on. If they are playing a lot of snaps now, the rookie wall may be quite a problem come January. Maybe this year will be different. Have hope. It's week 4. -
You probably SUCK to be around at parties. Holy cow. It's a football thread and literally no one is anointing him anything. They are literally saying he played better than we expected and that he may get more reps now (as he seemingly earned them and outplayed Dorian)

Start of the season really could not have gone better for the Bills…
harryS replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah, plus the relatively early bye isn't ideal. It also might be more accurate to say that the Bills' schedule is backloaded rather than outright easy. I mean, we're still playing first-place teams as a division winner from last season, we just happen to play most of them in the back half of the season. -

Maybe the logo is standard size, but it’s a hat for people with really small heads? 🤷♂️

Well, that's what makes it interesting, at least for the rest of the week. Same old Jimmy? New neutered Jimmy? Who knows? All I know is my wife had on the start of the Emmy Awards and Nate Bargatze was horrible. Bring back Ricky Gervais! For every awards show. And give him a late night show too. -
Game week thread - Saints at Bills
Goin Breakdown replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
I've heard it all and I get it and if I were you I'd be saying the same stuff...not a college team defense dictates and so on so, I agree with you but I'll admit I'm a little spoiled and I know that they are capable of more. I'm also a little prideful and don't like saying that Miamis scrubs wouldn't let Josh do what he's capable of doing. He's the best in the league and scrubs said "nope not today". Look I'm not complaining about them winning. That's silly. what I'm more less saying is I'm not like a bunch of other fans thinking Buffalo is going to march up and down the field and "dominate" with a 30+ point differential. -

It's only the second time I have had to bring this out of storage: "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR VULCAN MIND?!" 😠 Eggbert would break in two like a flimsy popsicle, at the first WNY cold snap / blizzard off Lake Erie. -
Bills Defense, will it get better as season goes on
colin replied to North Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall
buddy ryan used different metrics than the ones that were popular at the time to evaluate defensive performances, he looked at what are now toxic plays and some other stuff. anyhow, my model for the bills d: can they get stops (punts or turnovers) against elite offenses in the playoffs? there is a bit of a blind spot which is: do we slow down the death of 1000 cuts, which seems to be at best what we've done in the past 4 or so playoff exits, but i am willing to ignore that. anyhow, so far, and i'm giving a lot of grace to the bills d because we are missing our rookie (fast, not ancient like tre) corner, we are still green at SS and a lot of snaps at DT, and our roid guys are still out. we got trucked by baltimore like the I-95 for a bit over 3 quarters, but stopped 4 or their last 5 drives, and the one they burned us on was lamar doing something even he can only do once in a while, and then a massive immediate let down play where henry walked in untouched. the rest of the drives were like at best 5 and outs for baltimore, it was late in the game, and it included a turnover. we rolled the jets, but they don't count. vs miami, they had their best possible game, controlled the ball wonderfully, got lucky with a fluke game script where we should have been rotating between 1 and 2 score leads from the 2nd quarter on, missed a horrible kick, got stymied up on O at the worst time, and still won by 10 altho both this and the baltimore game needed a miracle turnover which we got in each case. we also had some really terrible kick and punt coverage at times in those two closer games, especially vs miami. from that perspective, where we have different coverages, can apply pressure and simulate pressure, and actually force punts we are improved. from the POV of 3rd down, we still kinda suck out loud so far. im not sold on the d, but i do think if we can get reasonably healthy, particularly if we get a bye in the playoffs, we will be able to get enough stops on who we play to win. i figure 4 or 5 stops by the d gives us a really really high chance of winning any game. we got i think 4 vs baltimore (haven't checked in a bit) and the ones we didn't stop felt like a runaway freight train. we got 6 vs miami where they controlled the ball like no one's biz. it is worth noting that maimi held the ball a lot, and still had putrid overall produciton. also, as of now we have the number 1 rush O (i think we fall to 2 after baltimore plays tonight), and the number 32 rush d in the nfl. if we can get that 32 to look like a 16, I think we might be going deeper than we ever have in the post season. we'll need our roster to be pretty healthy. -

I get that I don't get it. Back in the day, watching Eddie Murphy describe how when he became famous 'they just started throwing the ----- at me' was edgy for me. Chris Rock describing his concerns about going to an ATM was edgy "I ain't looking for Ted Koppel...." was edgy. Watching these very successful guys try to be edgy on a $25,000,000 studio sound stage sponsored by JC Penny and Kit Kat (per AI, at least), with prompts for the audience to cheer at the right time...not so much. And now that he was temporarily neutered, I don't know, seems kinda like watching the next great halftime show with Janet Jackson, the obligatory dancers in a traditional triangle pattern first made famous in 1985. He can be edgy right up to the point of not getting sent into time out again. -
Nailed it.

I would pay good money to see him and Allen having lunch together. Allen: "Hey coach! How's it going??? I saw a great movie last night, Robocop. Not the remake, the 80's one! It was awesome. Hey, wanna hear a funny joke about mast*rbation?" McDaniel: "I, erm, I guess, erm..." *pushes food around the plate with his fork* "I guess what I'm saying is, like, I just can't, you know, like, imagine a world, like our world, where a cop, like, becomes, you know, a robot. And, erm, no, no I'd rather choose to, erm, choose to not hear that, erm, joke." -

Hyde and Poyer in their prime were solid, - their prime has passed. So far Bills haven't done a good enough job scouting and drafting & coaching to replace them. -

That hire by the Jags is truly thinking outside the box. Coaching hire pattern in the NFL, is hire someone else’s fired HC, or hire hot coordinator, or hire hot college coach. Turning to pee wee ranks could be genius. -
Looking for a little help here. I was at work the other day when I spotted a guy with this hat. I was too busy to go over and ask him where he got it from. My Internet searches have come up blank. Does anyone know who makes this hat and where it can be purchased? Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

You certainly did. I’m kinda shocked No way they did this to poke trump and the fcc in the eye. It’s about the bottom line. Perhaps a bean counter convinced them that damage to the brand is worse than the fcc threats. What do you predict the affiliates do? still say they don’t run Kimmel. Billions at stake in their deal. Maybe the show is taped and few can see it or at least MAGAs with antennae can’t .YouTube tv should be good to go. -
