"The Wide Receiver Choo-Choo explodes, News at six"
-
All true - but it was probably LaFleur & Smith more than Vrabel. They really got the most out of Tannehill. McDaniels is pretty good too, though.
-
They had one in Todd Bowles but let him go.

Lmao I really like the neutral locations here in the US idea. Owners may not agree. On the other hand every team having to play a neutral site does seem like a fair way of doing it.

Will McD ever have a coaching tree?
ChronicAndKnuckles replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
Miracle ? The Bills handled business against Miami in week 17 and won the necessary games to get in as the Wildcard. Only because it was one of the last games of the regular season the Bengals game was so dramatic. It would’ve been the same result if it happened in week 9. I don’t think people hear how difficult it is to change the culture of a historically losing franchise. Go ask the Jets how much they would love a coach like McDermott. I get the criticism, but I hate when people try to take away his accomplishments. -
I wasn't a big fan of the pick and I've been pretty critical of beanes choices and picks as of late. But I can see the vision im assuming beane had. Replace the Gabe Davis role with a more athletic yac guy that can do 50/50 balls. Is that for sure what beane was thinking? We may never know. I disagree with it but I can understand the vision if it was. So I think theres a multitude of things at play with keon, he hasn't shown much growth and theres obviously some maturity issues still there but many of the issues with him are not his fault imo. Beane asked Gabe to be a #2, hes not that, he never showed the ability to be that, not his fault. Beane is asking keon to be a wr1B/wr2 with out a dominant wr1 alpha that demands doubles and takes attention away from keon, hes not that, not his fault. Beane brought him into a situation thats not nearly the type of offense he could thrive in. Keon would thrive in an offense where teams have thier eyes or dt on the alpha and all of a sudden keon is on a slant route vs a LB or cb2 and torches you for 30 yards with yac, he could be dangerous wr2. But that won't happen in buffalo, that isn't thier identity (unless a trade). I think another key piece was what Gabe was highly successful at, the play breaks down josh allen rolls to his right, gabe works his way to josh, finds some space near the sideline and josh hits Gabe for 20. Defenses are doing everything they can to not allow josh to roll to his right this season and it seems to be working. And if keon is the Gabe replacement, defenses have done a good job of taking that away. I would absolutely love to be proven completely wrong and keon become an alpha but I dont think it will happen and i think its unfair for beane to ask him to be something he hasn't shown to be.

5-2. It would be nice to get some help from around the league like the Browns beating the Patriots or the Commanders upsetting the Chiefs this Monday night, but Bills 5-2 is all that matters.

Game week thread - Bills at Panthers (Game week preview on pg. 18)
colin replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
our d has been getting a lot of pressure, missing a ton of tackles, and honestly play the run realllllly aggressively. it's either a stuff or they rip off long runs, nothing in between. if our roid heroes can be all we hope, that should reflect in the rushing D, and pressure rate (or actual sacks, as our pressure rate has been strong). on the flip side, i'd like to see josh have a vintage alex smith type of game where he completes all of his passes ot backs and tes, with like 3 to WRs sprinkled in. -
There is a more important open question. Vrable did pretty well with Ryan Tannehill, who was the best QB he got to coach. Maye might not have to be as good as Allen. He might only have to be meaningfully better than Tannehill to have an impact. Its hard based on anything we have seen from Maye to think he wont be better than Tannehill. The big unknown, is Vrabel the kind of coach that can capitalize on that.

I've always wondered why the NBA allows LeBron to do commercials for DraftKings gambling site. At least the NFL wouldn't allow an active player to do gambling ads.

two Player that can really change the Bills
Ridgewaycynic2013 replied to dbfla10's topic in The Stadium Wall
The only 'Spags' you're going to get is Jets superfan Jimmy Spags. 🤨 Giving McDermott another player to talk about as "he's week to week." -
Found someone who can comfort me, but there are always exceptions And she's good at appearing sane, but I just want you to know She's the one makes me feel so good when everything is against me Picks me up when I'm feeling down, so I've got something to show Staring at empty pages, centered 'round the same plot Staring at empty pages, flowing along in the ages

There's a whole lot of things during a game that he finds "distracting"...🤔 -
Can you even imagine the meltdown if Obama...
ScotSHO replied to Homelander's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That actually squares up, but I differ with you because I think we have the citizens that will do this work. I haven't just washed my hands and assumed half the nation is lost forever like you have. -
I can't say with any certainty that I know your point. I know mine: changing coaches right now is probably a bad idea. I don't think Pegs is likely to hire a better coach. I think it's more likely he'll hire a coach worse than McD, thus making it less likely we'll win a Lombardi. You clearly disagree and that's fine. Neither of us gets to make the decision. It you want to call my opinion "pearl clutching," go ahead. Besides maybe not understanding your point, I also don't know why you resort to ad hominem attacks to support your case. It's truly puzzling to me but I'm having a fine day regardless. About to take the husky along for a ride on my bike on a sunny California day. Hoping for both our sakes that - however it happens - this team hoists a Lombardi someday soon.

For me it's not stats, it's about what defenses are able to do against our offense. If this continues, Allen won't finish the season. The last 2 games, Allen has been hit more times than I can remember. Teams are sending the house, and betting that our receivers won't get open in 1 on 1 situations, and they've mostly been right. There were a lot of us here, myself included that hated the Keon Coleman pick, because there were far too many scouting reports that said that he failed to separate at the Collegiate level. If he was a 5th round pick, that was coming in only in certain situations as maybe our 4th or 5th guy like Shavers, than I would absolutely love him. But the fact that he's been relied on to start as our X receiver is an absolute mistake. In that regard, it's on Beane and not Keone's fault. He doesn't control when or who drafts him.
