TRADE: Kelvin Benjamin to Buffalo
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If doing a pitch and hit no longer gives excessive penalties, Stevie would be fine -
TRADE: Kelvin Benjamin to Buffalo
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Suddenly, that receiving corps looks pretty darn good. Stevie number baby!!! I dont usually agree with you. But yes, I do enjoy that balance -
Schopp: Taylor is better than you think.
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to JM2009's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Look, I'll admit to Tyrod having limitations, but I remember something really key yesterday. On one of the deep throws to Holmes, he looked off the safety to leave Holmes in single coverage. This has been one of his biggest criticisms. I will give credit where it is due. The excellent play on defense and special teams often gave him a short field, but when it mattered he drove the team down the field, chewed up clock, kept the chains moving, got us the encroachment call and dove in to get us 7 points where normally we would settle for 3. -
....ehhhhh He is an ok zone corner. If Gaines is out for a while, he is an able replacement. Someone will likely overbid

Andrew Luck not ready to start regular season
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And his two wins have been against Cleveland and San Francisco. Both 0-6 teams. I just felt that was important to point that out for context -
Greg ward jr and Malcolm Jenkins?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Bray Wyatt's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hey, I'd be happy to have him. He's a fantastic player, and a huge leader on the Eagles. He can play CB, as he had for the Eagles when they were desperate. I just can't, for the life of me, see why we would make that move when we desperately need WR help instead and Hyde and Poyer have been brilliant pickups. As an aside, I always hear about how safety isn't important as a CB, yet when teams invest in their safeties suddenly the DB corps as a whole looks better all around. -
Gameday Thread Bills @ Cincy 1st Half

Who got hurt. I'm stuck running errands -
Watkins admits he was selfish, upset after wins.
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to JM2009's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He did in fact include that there were games where the team won, but his personal stats were bad and he was upset at that. Maybe he turns it around. Maybe things work out. But I can see why McDermott thought there was little chance to sign him long term and not worth the money that requires. For the record, I still wish that Tyrod had better passing options, but I don't hate that trade as much now. -
The annoying thing is, we know what Dareus can do when he is fully motivated and firing on all cylinders. Right now, he simply isn't. At this point, I don't know what else can get him there. There is no economic incentive for him to do so. His teammate and good friend Kyle Williams isn't getting it done. The coach isn't getting it done. I would be more critical to the "McBeane team", but even with a subpar effort from Darues, the team is leading the league in points allowed after playing some of the top scoring offenses. The playcalling and system are currently working. I would love to see Dareus get involved, and maybe he needs a different track than what McDermott can give. I faulted Rex for not getting Mario on board. If there is any way to get him back, I will be happy to keep paying the man. If not, according to Over The Cap, we save a bit of cap room is we trade him after this season. not much, But I will take almost anything at that point.

Look, I am absolutely stoked. This season has played out far better than I anticipated so far. The D looks so legit, Shady still has legs and I am finally seeing Dennison use Tyrod in the ways that I thought would free him. I will still admit, as I watched that last drive by the Falcons, the ghosts of two decades of fandom haunted me. I was sure that I was going to have to settle for a "moral victory" of only losing by one to the NFC champs. I am happy that we held. But believe me, those ghosts are not gone

Bills Sign WR Philly Brown and Two Safeties
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
After last year failed to be "tight end heaven" I would really enjoy this. I agree that Zay and Holmnes don't scare anyone. That right now, even more than QB, is our #1 off-season priority. But if we get Clay as our deep threat and make teams play back and don't stack the box Shady gets room. -
OK...so saw the replay of the game
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To be fair, I am used to having "tuck rule" horribly abused, even if its not official anymore. See the pantsing that the Bills gave Johnny football, only to have that fumble/TD overturned. It should, absolutely, have been a touchdown. This one, well, strict letter would have borne us out. If that had been ruled incomplete on the first call, that is hard to overturn. I wouldn't have been shocked if it was called back. But eff it, I'll take it. -
Trade for a WR. Now. I know I am overreacting a bit, but seriously, this was a position of weakness before our best WR was injured. Powell is ok, but teams are going to keep trying to take Clay away and there has to be someone who can keep them honest. Zay is not there yet, and he is the best we have right now.

Stephon Gilmore is Trending
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Max Fischer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To be fair, I wanted Gilmore back. He is a *good* CB. It is more the pity that he wanted to be paid as an *elite* CB, with all those expectations. It's delicious. Zero chill
