    Joe is overrated.  Gonna say it now.  

     

    He is a very good QB, not saying he isn't good.  But he has gotten overrated on the back of his teams success as if he is neck and neck with Mahomes, and he just isn't.  Look at the KC game they won to advance to the SB.  They didn't win because of Burrow, they won because the Bengals defense somehow managed to hold Mahomes and KC to 3 points in the 2nd half keeping the score low enough for the Bengals to creep back in and steal the game.  

     

    Allen carved up that same D with ease the week before until Loosey Frazier and the D gave away the game with 13 seconds and OT.  

     

    No question he was going to be the highest paid all time with this contract, that is just how QB contracts work.  But Joe hasn't gotten it done while loaded with weapons, and he is about to start to lose those weapons soon because they can't keep them all.  His playoff stats are underwhelming, but he gets propped up because the team won some games and reached a SB.  But he gets all the credit for that, and its not really been a case where Burrow is lighting the games up.  

     

    Again, one of the best young QB's in the league, not saying he sucks by any means.  Just saying he is not in the same class as Mahomes even though that is the tier everyone wants to put him in.  

    Question for you as I've seen many fans parrot the same line. What makes you say that Frazier was the one responsible for the 13 seconds choke job?

    I Am Not Optimistic Going Into This Season

    You're right to be concerned about the direction the team is taking. Ignore the pompom waving crowd here. I'm not optimistic about their chances this year either. The roster has been going sideways at best for the last couple of years. The head coach is afraid of his own shadow at crunch time. And some key cogs on the defense are aging and/or coming back from injury. They haven't hit big on a draft pick since 2018.

     

    But they do have Allen and you always have a shot to win it all with him. The margin is getting thinner by the season though.

    Any interest in a revised Bills Tickets and Gear forum?

    Bottom Line: The Bills Tickets and Gear has always been the red headed stepchild but with a few tweeks could be a useful tool especially with the current ticket prices and impending PSLs. Is there any interest?

     

    Long winded version:   'Inspired' by the recent Stubhub (SH) post

     

    I contend that the Bills Tickets and Gear forum could use some 'attention'. There are 10 pages of posts, 9 ½ that are obsolete. Per JustJack he is the moderator but is not given (doesn't want?) the power to delete or archive posts that have expired.

     

    As I see it the forum was always an afterthought from the days when it was considered gauche to sell at a profit and tickets prices were reasonable. And before the days of mobile tickets scamming was common.

     

    I couldn't afford to keep my STs without selling some. My preference is to sell 3 per game and use 1 but there is not a lot of demand for odd numbers. I usually sell the set (most on Ticketmaster (TM) and buy a single. Have tried to use the current forum with variable success.

     

    I am an unabashed capitalist and have no problem maximizing the price I get per ticket, however I do prefer to sell to a Bills Fan(s). Ticketmaster grabs up to 25% of the sales price, dinging both the buyer and seller. From the SH post I see that many use SH to sell their excess. [Don't really understand why them since they charge the lister 15% vs the 10% TM charges a STH,]. I use Paypal and the Account transfer methodology to sell direct which protects the buyer and seller.

     

    Ideally, I'd like to see the Gear portion be a separate section, outdated ticket listed deleted and some kind of format for listing tickets. If you list tickets on a reseller site list the location and the site. A prospective buyer can see the current listing price (TM used to show the list price w/o fees but with the new (almost) full price policy this went away but you can figure there is around a 25% mark-up) and PM the seller to negotiate. Reseller fees are avoided, plus you have a greater probability of the seat being taken by a Bills Fan.

     

    As the PSL gotchas become known a sub-section would also be a good way match prospective joint owners who are likely to be Bills Fans. Seems like something along these lines was attempted a couple of years ago then fizzled out.

     

    Not sure if this will be met with deafening silence (other than a few chuclkeheads), irate dinosaurs who believe tickets should be transferred at cost or below, or hopefully some interest and a more refined ways of doing this.

     

    Oh, and my STs are Sec 135, R 5, Seats 7 – 10.

    And option to buy tickets outside of the usual StubHub, seatgeek, etc. scams is a great idea imo. All for it.

    Rewatching the Week 3 Dolphins game

    Yup....just like with :13 we should've sent the house and man cover the middle.  But we did the complete opposite. 

    That is actually the opposite of what they should have done. They shouldn't have rushed anyone. Eleven guys drop back and the game is over. Simple situational football that McDermott totally botched.

    OT…opinions of Jalen Hurts

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I watched a few Philly games and the guy has all day to throw and goes through his reads so slowly. Eventually a receiver is wide open and he hits him. Also, he's the only qb that plays the game needing only 8 yards for a first down, as he has a guaranteed 2 yards every time he sneaks it before getting touched.

     

    Roseman has created an excellent team and coaching staff so it sounds ridiculous to criticize him for that contract they gave hurts, but I think they'll come to regret that. Give any of the top QBs that surrounding staff and talent, in that conference with that schedule and they'd go undefeated.

    It’s one of my beefs with the Bills. We’re built to win the Reg season, but come playoff time, we struggle. It’s all over our roster. 
     

    Our CBs are too small and get manhandled in the playoffs. 
     

    Our WRs are small and require agility to get open. Come playoffs, the opposing CBs are much more physical/grabby, and we get thrown off our game. 
     

    Our D-Line is the same way. Small agile guys who can win in the Reg season but come playoffs, get held a ton and can’t break through. 
     

    We need playoff type players that can power through the jam at the LOS or push through holds on the line. Dominant physical players that can impose their will. 
     

    Josh is dominant like that, but not many other Bills players are. Fingers crossed for Kincaid. 
     

    If we’re relying on the Refs to call a game like they do in the Reg season, we may see more games like the last one against the Bengals. 

    As a die-hard Bills and Leafs fan, this is a point that hits way too close to home.

    McDermott & Beane Extended Through 2027

    What a joke. This clown literally stole a potential super bowl from the team with that epic choke job in KC a couple of years ago and people still bow at his feet. He should have been fired on the spot right then and there.

     

    The drought really has scarred many of you from dreaming big. We lucked into the most naturally gifted QB in the league. The bare minimum should be a playoff spot.

     

    Clapmaster 2000 is the weakest link on this team. I had wished ownership could have seen this even if the pompom waving crowd couldn't.

    Thanks coach McDermott… you’re one of the best coaches in the game.

    Thirteen seconds was not McDermott's fault. He said it himself after the game. It was "execution". Who wouldn't want to play for a great guy like that? Throws his players under the bus when it's him and his staff that blew it. 

     

    Saying this clown is a great coach pretty much tells everyone you are not a knowledgeable nor objective fan. Which is fine. Not everyone is.

     

    You have the most naturally gifted player in the league at the most important position. Making the playoffs is the bare minimum right now. Yet the team is actually getting worse if you really look at it. They looked uninspired through most of the season starting with the Sunday nighter against green bay. They were lucky to beat the dolphins at home who were starting a 3rd stringer and then got blown out the following week.

     

    If the players look listless, that's at least partly on the coach. All this "leader of men" garbage flies out the window if you don't have Allen behind center. McDermott is Dick Jauron 2.0 who lucked into a great QB or he'd be a DB assistant in Carolina right now.

    From WR7 to WR1 to one of the best in the NFL

    Stevie is so overrated.  His 1000 yards seasons are maybe the 3 weakest in NFL history.  So much gets made of that and it was so over hyped.  I mean he never even reached 1100 yards despite being on a pass happy team allergic to running the ball as the #1 WR.  And in all 3 1000 yard seasons, a good percentage of his production came in garbage time late in games when the game was already decided.  

     

    There is a reason he was out of the league 2 years after Buffalo despite going to play in good offenses.  Stevie Johnson was really a decent #3 WR at best who got to be WR1 on a team devoid of options.  And that team was not very good, so they got behind a lot giving him chances to pad underwhelming stats late in games when the game was out of reach.  He would have like 0-2 catches all game, then suddenly get 2 or 3 catches on a end of game drive with a meaningless TD.  Poof...his season end totals look relevant, but they were not.  

    You have some of the worst takes on this board so this is totally on brand.

     

    Using team wins/losses to critque a receiver is about the laziest argument one can make. What did Calvin Johnson ever win? Guess he's overrated too.
