Game Postponed! - To be played Monday at 4:30pm
billsfan89 replied to phypon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Genuinely glad they made the move. No need to risk people’s lives for a football game. The conditions on Monday should also be more reasonable to play in -
NFL in advanced talks with ESPN to take over NFL Network
billsfan89 replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
NFLN's biggest strength is NFL Films and Good Morning Football. I can't imagine NFL Films going away but then again league offices can be penny wise dollar foolish. -
Make Settle inactive, Poona has been trending upwards so keep him in the rotation but if there was ever a game where you need to big time run stuffers its this one. I like Settle he is a nice rotational DT but he is more of a penetrator than a run stuffer in my opinion.

Buy: Special Teams unit: To put it mildly the ST unit has not been very good this season. Bass has missed a few makeable kicks, they have let up two TD’s plus a few other big returns, Harty had a big muff against the Chargers, Martin’s punting for a lot of the season was mediocre and up until Harty’s big return they haven’t made many big plays. BUT I think that’s going to go in the other direction. Martin’s punting has been a lot better and I think Harty is going to break off another big return. Bass also has been clutch in making kicks most notably against the Chargers. I think the ST unit has been energized by Harty’s return and Martin’s punting. Hold: Turnovers. This is the big IF in the Bills playoff chances. They are not going to have the ability to win multiple playoff games with multiple turnovers. You may get away with it once but consistently you can’t win playoff games with more than 1 turnover. It’s got to be a point of emphasis to get the turnovers to stay at 0 or at worst 1. Sell: Diggs is hurt and less effective. Diggs having a nice game against the Fins was a great sign after a very quiet stretch of the season. Diggs is going to come out like a champion and baller in the playoffs.

Steelers @ Bills. Monday, January 15th at 4:30pm.
billsfan89 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think in that article it stated that McD was always giving off the vibe of thinking what can go wrong towards the end of close games. Which I kind of agreed with. But since the bye week he is giving off the vibe of what can go right at the end of games. The team just feels like it’s not as tight towards the end of games. -
Steelers @ Bills. Monday, January 15th at 4:30pm.
billsfan89 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Luckily Knox and Dawkins on Thursday should have enough time to get better from illness and Harry hopefully gets back from his personal matter. Mitch had an illness designation last week on Friday and was already deemed good to play on Sunday the next days. Hopefully between Davis, Dodson, Douglas and Rapp they at least get 2 of the 4 going. I think Davis is likely out and Douglas will likely play the other two are 50/50. Everyone is banged up this time of year, not the worst injury report. -
Wilkins getting grabby w/ Josh Allen yet again ???
billsfan89 replied to ChronicAndKnuckles's topic in The Stadium Wall
He should be heavily fined and told that if it happens again he’s going to get a minimum 4 game suspension. This stuff has no place in the league it goes far beyond gamesmenship. -
Wyatt Teller's wife dishes on her difficult, non-working life
billsfan89 replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall
Being a homemaker is a real job its ***** tough especially if you have young children. But to quote Eddie Murphy if your married to a man who has 50 million dollars you ain't no ordinary housewife, ends a meat like a mother... -
I don't see putting it on Peacock being that much different than putting it on ESPN. You have to pay for cable to get ESPN so either way it is behind a paywall? I generally agree the NFL should avoid putting a second paywall for playoff games its not in their best interest but if games are on cable why not a streaming service?

Steelers @ Bills. Monday, January 15th at 4:30pm.
billsfan89 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
With the weather likely being "ugly" this is likely going to be a 50/50 knuckleball-type game. The Steelers have a really strong defense and an offense that while not the best has some pieces (Harris is playing better and Pickins has looked alive) they also have a solid ST unit. The Bills are going to have to play big defensively and offensively not turn the ball over while running the ball conventionally well. -
All the Fins had to do was hold onto a 14-point lead with a few minutes left against the Titans and they would be the two seed. They beat the Cowboys they took care of the Jets they just had to beat the Titans with a lead late in the game. Well the Fins faltered and the Bills gave themselves a chance to win the division in the final week.

Will Sherfield be better in the #2 role than Davis???
billsfan89 replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Gabe Davis is capable of having a big game that I just don’t think Trent is really capable of. I loved what Trent did stepping up in his revenge game but I am not sure this team is better off with him over Gabe. That being said I think Shakir and the TE’s getting more snaps and targets is not a bad thing. -
Will/Should Von be active vs. the Fish?
billsfan89 replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
I suspect they will consider making him a post June first cut after next season unless there is some massive changes Von makes to his deal -
Where would you rather be?

Five straight playoff appearances, Five straight double digit win seasons and a chance tonight at four straight division titles tonight!

NFL Week 18 - Jags at Titans game thread
billsfan89 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills clinch a spot in the tournament now tonight they can get the two seed! Just a relief to know that at worst the Bills are gonna be playing next week. However, this doesn’t diminish the fact that the game tonight is of massive importance as I do not think going on the road three times is a good path to the Super Bowl. The Two Seed is still a much bigger upgrade for the Bills that will make a playoff run a lot easier as they can have home field for two rounds at a minimum -
NFL Week 18 - Jags at Titans game thread
billsfan89 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Huge stop by the Titans there! Gotta just get a score here to go up three possessions and that should put you in a very strong position going into the later stages of the game. Can’t let up though still a lot of time left -
NFL Week 18 - Jags at Titans game thread
billsfan89 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Titans hitting the Jags in the mouth right now. Gotta keep pressing the gas if you are the Titans plenty of time left. If you can get this next defensive stop it will really put the Jags on the ropes. -
Von Miller: Bills made “right decision” to sit me
billsfan89 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Von’s contract is such that I think he will be back for 2024 at a minimum one more year. Poyer’s deal is reasonable enough that I think he gets one more year too, they will likely draft someone behind him to be the “heir apparent”. As far as Tre he is likely cut unless he works out a massive pay cut/restructure so that he can be more cap friendly and give him a chance to kick the tires one more time. But I do not see that happening. Hyde I think they let walk and replace him with a younger free agent or draft choice. Hyde may have one good year let or not but it’s gonna come down to having to start moving on from some of these vets a year too soon than a year too late. To sum up Tre and Hyde likely gone, Poyer and Von one more year. -

Say what you will about Von but he is a true professional. -
OT…Cooper Dejean has declared for the draft
billsfan89 replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wouldn’t hate it, but I can see a player like Legette shooting up draft boards during the combine and off season processes because of his measurables. From reading his scouting reports online it seems like he’s checks off a lot of boxes. He produced in college at a top conference, he has an insane athletic profile and he had a drops issue early on in his college career that has seemed to have gone away. It seems like his flaws are that he isn’t a strong blocker, he has only had one year of amazing production at the college level, his production against better competition in college wasn’t the best and he also seems to be too comfortable in contested situations that he doesn’t always get the separation that he should get given his athleticism. I wouldn’t hate picking him up in the late first or trading down into the early second round getting more picks (and then using those picks to trade higher into the middle of the second) and taking this kid to try to get Josh more weapons and Diggs an heir apparent. -
OT…Cooper Dejean has declared for the draft
billsfan89 replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Got to go WR, address defense in round 2. With Davis likely gone and Diggs at age 31 this team needs to restock at WR. I like Dejean as a prospect but this team really needs to focus on making sure Josh has the tools. -
Why does this team always seem like it's running on fumes?
billsfan89 replied to T.E.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
Every team is running on fumes for the most part. The issue could be alleviated in my opinion with a second bye week. Extend out the season another week and give each team two bye weeks. Players in a 17 game season really need more than one single off week. If the bye comes too early teams are exhausted in the late season, if a bye is in the middle of the season teams get banged up early and still may be faded down the stretch and a late bye is not great as by the time the bye week comes up they may not get the rest they need in time. Give players a bye from weeks 4-8 and then another bye from weeks 10-13 give these players in season time to heal. -
Bills Cap Breakdown by Greg Tompsett
billsfan89 replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think the Bills are in a solid spot cap wise. The only bad contracts are Von Miller and Knox and Knox is fairly manageable.
