Josh will be wearing a visor this week
Dan Darragh replied to UConn James's topic in The Stadium Wall
Never understood why football players (except interior linemen) don't use face guards with the extra vertical bar between the eyes Also don't understand why pro hockey players don't wear full face guards like they do in NCAA. (Although I remember the days when nobody including goalies wore helmets and the Amerks had Bobby Perrault playing goalie without even a face mask.) But to the OP's other point, I think we need a detailed video showing all of the handshakes that Josh has with the other players, including slo-mo and reverse angle shots. Even on a short week there are days when there isn't enough football to watch. Preferably with NFL Films music from the 1970s playing in the background. Keep this man away from firearms. -
Week 3, Fish v. Bills, PREDICT THE SCORE!

Miami 17-31 Bills -
I am certainly not saying Johnson had nothing to do with what happened in Detroit and he actually wasn't OC during those struggles early on, our old mate Anthony Lynn was. Then Lynn was fired and Campbell called plays himself for a bit and steadied the ship before he handed over the reigns to Johnson. The thing I always admired about him as a play caller was how well he fitted his schem to his players. The first two years their passing game was incredibly simple, might even say limited. Their complexity was in the run game. Then as Jameson Williams broke out last year and gave them a viable running mate for St Brown and opened up the boundary to attack he added layers to the offense to maximise performance. The bit I push back slightly on (and I did at the time) was the idea of Goff as damaged goods. I never bought it then and I have never bought it since. Goff was not made by Sean McVay. He wasn't rescued by Ben Johnson either. Jared Goff is a good quarterback. He is one of the most accurate passers in football and throws with great touch and feel. The key to maximising Jared Goff is and always has been protection in front of him. By modern NFL QB standards he is a statue if pass rushers penetrate he is a stitting duck, a sack waiting to happen. But if he is protected he is and always has been a top 10 Quarterback. Bad with the disaster line his rookie year. In come Whitworth, Sullivan and others and suddenly Jared Goff looks really good. Then in 2020 Sullivan retires, Whit gets hurt and there is turmoil elsewhere on the line and suddenly Goff's form drops off and the Rams trade him. Gets to Detroit the line is a bit funky cos of injuries and Sewell being a rookie early and he doesn't look great but as soon as the line is sorted he immediately looks better. That is the truth to the Jared Goff story. It is just people like to spin the coach dependent narrative.

How could Mayfield turn his career around at Panthers by playing scout team DE? 😀

Honestly, I was never all that into him as an actor. I guess he was cute, but Paul Newman carried that duo overall. The man, though, was massively impressive. I don't have a cry too often over a celebrity loss, but I did today.

If i leaned one thing about being a Bills, focus on the next game, actually focus on the next play.

If this gets embarrassing it could be the end of McDaniel

He had a great career and was the most well known Ranger for years. RIP

Turn Down The Temperature: Unity? NOT HAPPENING

The Constitution allows for anyone to say anything, unless the words have the potential to incite violence or if the speech includes threatening language. In your opinion is it possible that some hate speeches may have the potential to incite violence? - Today

Game week thread - Dolphins at Bills TNF
Special K replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
He seems to be a check collector at this point.....I think he gave up the day after he signed his big contract. -
It's because where you land extremely matters To think it doesn't is fool's gold... These are 21 to 23-year-old kids... And 97% of them need to grow and learn There's a reason why the bears haven't successfully developed a quarterback in 60 years lol never had a 4,000 yard thrower It is the organization Same with darnold... Nobody question his talent or even his work ethic.. the Jets organization spits out quarterbacks for 50 years

Any thoughts on Dorian Williams about to be starting again?
ALLinALLEN replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
WGR homepage has a quote from McD saying Milano "could return this week". I'm now hopeful this injury is way overblown and he will certainly be good by January (which is all we really need). -

Buffalo716 replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think he's has the best physical tangibles out of our linebackers He has our best blend of size speed and hit power... I think you could absolutely be starting on some other teams around the league but we don't trot out a lot of linebackers When he's not thinking and just playing he can be good -
Well I got the ban Hammer a week ago but I was correct This is radical liberal violence They went from cheering it for days.. to gaslighting the right into thinking it was their own person for damage control.. to conspiracies that it's a different shooter It's classic deflection because their party is falling apart.. no 26 midterms.. 2028 election you have no chance... The Democrat party needs to rebrand because it is done

Richard Noggin replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
What makes you say the bolded? Seems to me that when McD simplifies the LB/2nd level assignments, it results in predictable zone windows and/or separation vs man. McD (and everyone else, probably) needs LBs who attack the run with the vision and decisiveness of an RB but also drop deep enough against the pass and read the routes and the QB's eyes like safeties. Substandard Bills LBs have been abused, no? The concern about Williams vs eye candy, motion, cutbacks, and screens is at least reasonable. But you also have to admit the guy is a candidate to dislodge a ball or otherwise physically punish some Dolphins Thursday. -

Cardinals Lambs Bucs -
This game broke the Dolphins, I think. They gave it their best shot, with their best execution and game plan, and still couldn't get it done. No coming back from that. Edit: Misread, I didn't see the "playoff game" portion of your post. I'm referring to the game where Bass hit the 61 yarder to seal it. That was the finishing blow. Couldn't seriously entertain the possibility of ever knocking us off the top spot with the current regime after that.

I think Mayfield is actually the perfect example of what I mean. He was not a bad QB in Cleveland, they just decided to move on because they have the worst owner in the NFL. And I think Mayfield himself would admit he wasn't really giving it his all early in his career. Not that he was especially lazy like say Jamarcus Russell was, but you didn't hear the stories of almost psychotic commitment to getting better like you heard with Allen or Mahomes or Brady. Did spending a year on the Panthers scout team turn his career around? Did Matt Rhule change the way he approached the position? Of course not. What happened is he put his head down and re-dedicated himself to his craft, then when opportunity knocked on a potential game winning drive for the Rams he was ready and seized his moment. Next thing you know Liam Cohen is getting the credit for "fixing" Baker Mayfield and gets a head coaching opportunity because they think he can "fix" Trevor Lawrence. Well, early returns on that aren't looking so great. The QB is going to have to fix himself. Nobody can do it for him. This conversation reminded me of a hilarious post I saw earlier:

Orioles "officially" eliminated from the playoffs. In reality the season was over in May. What a crap season of injuries and under achievement. Wait till next year! -
