Flacco with those receivers actually might work.
-
I honesty don’t feel this organization values speed at wr anymore. And if true, that's tragic.
-
Flacco can't move anymore, and the Bengals OL is horrendous. They play at Green Bay next week. Maybe Parsons will FINALLY end Flacco's career. You want a reason for a healthy Joe Burrow to return and play against the Bills in December. Merry Christmas, indeed.

"Never heard of him." Donald Trump said of the Puerto Rican song-writer and singer who has criticized his immigration policies. Bad Bunny, who performs primarily in Spanish and has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump-era immigration policies, will make history as the first male Latin artist to lead the iconic halftime performance. Speaking to Newsmax’s Greg Kelly late Monday, Trump said he had “never heard of” Bad Bunny. “I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it — it’s, like, crazy,” he said. “They blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.” The rapper and singer, who endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election and is one of the most streamed artists in the world, has excluded the U.S. from his upcoming world tour out of concern that immigration authorities might target his performances. Puerto Rico is an American territory, and Bad Bunny is an American citizen. It’s not the first time politics has collided with the halftime show. At Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s 2020 performance, Lopez wrapped herself in a Puerto Rican flag and freed children from glowing cages, a move that was interpreted as protesting the Trump administration’s child separation policy.

We need a downfield passing game
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Scott7975's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's the complementary football argument. If the bills secure the ball and don't turn it over 3 times - the likelihood of that FG at the end of the game being to take the lead are far lower. It's more likely that FG is to tie, or they need a TD etc. -

Way too early Playoff picture
Southern McButterpants replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall
Should they lose this week to the Rams (likely IMHO) they would have to go 9-2 to even get a whiff of the playoffs. With 2 games against the Steelers and games with Minnesota and Green Bay, that is a tall order. Not burying them, just cautiously optimistic. -

Are you all sure ? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that our WR corp "quietly got better" -

WOW... just wow...LOL I actually laughed out loud at this one... just sayin... I mean not funny in this situation... but.. .its funny... cmon -
This is fantastic news . Hopefully the Bengals can win a few games and keep KC out of the playoffs
-
Keep chugging! We can't be this conservative on offense down the stretch... defense needs to step up
-
In the division! Wow!
-
Their huge mistake was choosing to sign Cooper Rush as the backup QB. He can't run Lamar's offense becuase he is no threat to run himself. They should have stuck with Snoop Huntley, who's only product NFL role might be Lamar light.

A.J. Klein, anyone?

now go get me AJ Klein, McBeane!

We used to be thrilled that a kicker could make a 50 Yarders.. now that's routine to this day. Major difference this year? Teams have the chance to prepare kicking balls the day before and practice with the same balls they use in games. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio compared it to the HR explosion during MLB's steroids era. "It's almost like they need an asterisk here" Fangio told the media. "It was the live ball era for those Bonds, McGuire and Sosa were hitting. The way they’ve changed the ball, the NFL, the kicking ball has drastically changed the field goals.” There have already been four kicks made from at least 60 yards this season — one shy of the single-season record — with Tampa Bay’s Chase McLaughlin hitting a 65-yarder against Fangio’s Eagles in Week 4, just 1 yard shy of Justin Tucker’s record set in 2021. Long distance kicks have become far more prevalent as the quality of kickers has improved thanks to more training and specialized coaching. The NFL has set records in each of the last four seasons for made field goals of at least 50 yards with the total reaching 195 in 2024 — doubling the total from every NFL season until 2015. Kickers are making 72.5% of field goals from at least 50 yards — nearly double the rate from three decades ago. But why? The change this year came after seven teams — Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Minnesota and Washington — made a proposal to reduce the stress on equipment staffs on game days. Before this season, balls designated for use in the kicking game were shipped directly to the officials and brought to the stadium on game day. Teams then had a 60-minute window to prepare three kicking balls, using only a wet towel, a dry towel and a special ball brush. Now, teams were given 60 “K balls” before the season to prepare for games, with each team getting three each game that are approved by the referee. No ball can be used in more than three games. What do the coaches think? Titans special teams coach John Fassel downplays the impact of the new rules, saying the approximately 20 minutes the equipment staff previously had to prepare each of the three kicking balls was sufficient. Jets kicker Nick Folk equated the difference in the balls to buying a new baseball glove each week and breaking it in for an hour compared to having a glove that has been broken in over a long period of time and now fits just perfectly. “I’m happy it happened,” Folk said. “We get to kind of do just like quarterbacks get whatever they want to do to the ball, as long as it looks like a football and the logo’s still there and all that stuff, I think they’re pretty lenient with that. It’s a very welcoming thing to be able to kind of look at a ball and be like, ‘All right, I want to kick this one this week, I want to kick this one this week.’” The impact isn’t solely on field goals. Punts are traveling farther too. After the average dropped by 1.5 yards from 1998 to 1999 when the first “K balls” were put in use, there has been a gradual uptick since the rules first changed in 2007. The average punt now travels 47.7 yards, which would have been the individual single-season record as recently as 20 years ago. The initial rules for kicking balls were first put in place in 1999 after specialists were allegedly doing all sorts of things to manipulate the ball, including using microwave ovens, dryers and saunas to soften the leather and make them easier to kick. How will this revolution change the NFL?

Yeah that was my initial thought as well. But they seemed to have mentally checked out. It could very well be turned around like you said.

Game week thread - Bills at Falcons MNF
BearNorth replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Falcon's have three skill positions that have killed Bills in the past. London - WR; Pitts - TE, Robinson - RB, all among the top at their position. Our defense isn't ready for prime time. Our wide receivers aren't ready for prime time. They also have a solid interior D line, and watching NE game film, sure they will be clamping down on James Cook. Puts Josh in a tough spot I would say, esp since they have had extra time to scheme. Divine Deablo is one of the top LB's in the league this year and likely will be spying Josh.
