Devin Singletary/ Best Bills player on the field today
CodeMonkey replied to Figster's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He is perhaps the only very bright spot this season. Smoke too, but he is a outstanding back with a very bright future. -
Actually they didn't ... sort of. They do not take electoral college into consideration. Trump lost the popular vote. In any event the Bills have been so healthy all season 538 has great data on them. But as they say, "any given Sunday", or Saturday

Houston Tailgate Official Info

That's a good thing to mention, particularly if people have been enjoying the margaritas! -

Bills at Texans Playoff Game, Saturday 4:35 pm
CodeMonkey replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why, because of the dancing and prancing he was doing? Remember, he flat out dropped a important one on 3rd down. -
Tre/Allen for Mahomes Outcome
CodeMonkey replied to BillsfaninSB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You could also ask yourself ... would you trade Tre and Allen for Mahomes. That gives you a similar, but different perspective on that situation. -
Why Does Edelman Never Get Flagged for Taunting?
CodeMonkey replied to RaoulDuke79's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd equate him more to Mario Lemieux. Lots of talent, but if you watched him off the puck or behind the play, he'd be slashing or sucker punching someone. A dirty scumbag in every sense of the word. -
Where were you during "wide right"?
CodeMonkey replied to class_of_2012's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Standing with friends at a party, ready to go ballistic. When it missed, all the guys just sat down ... in stunned silence for several minutes. One guys wife, who is not a football fan in the least, said watching us was the most surreal thing she ever saw -
Why Does Edelman Never Get Flagged for Taunting?
CodeMonkey replied to RaoulDuke79's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
WR's and DB's constantly jaw back and forth with each other after plays ... even <gasp> Bills players. You must not be watching close enough. That is never called for taunting unless it is very excessive and extreme. Edelman is no different than any other WR in that regard ... but he is a little B word. -
With Smoke, Beas, Singletary and Gore, and a solid kicker, you wouldn't think so. Add in that the D gives you plenty of opportunities. O-Line is a problem, and often coaching as well. But yeah, 20.5 PPG average this season (23rd) doesn't seem to be setting the bar crazy high ... particularly with this years schedule. But on the contrary side, the Bills are playing conservative on offense knowing they have a good D and figure they don't need a ton of points. And this season anyway, they have been right for the most part. Bottom line, who knows.

I realize this is a Bills homer board, and people get butt hurt easily, but nothing that was said there is inaccurate. He did improve in many ways this season. He isn't making the stupid passes any more, he will slide, and his accuracy in the short(ish) game has improved significantly. But his problems in college, and presumably in high school since he apparently was not heavily recruited, are largely still his same problems today. Continuous improvement is what you hope for as a Bills fan and hope the Bills coaches can bring him along. He can chuck the thing a mile, and has the kind of attitude and work ethic you have to love. But knowing what I know now, I wouldn't move up to draft him like the Bills did.

Most if not all of those calls were nonsense during that final drive. And all back to back. We were commenting that the zebras must have had money on the Bills covering the spread.

Still worried about the Bills' offense?
CodeMonkey replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes they beat the last 2 sub .500 teams by the amount they should. But don't expect everyone to start drinking the koolaid until the Bills beat "someone". If they manage to beat the cowgirls Thursday, then your post has merit. IMO. Except for the horrific, head scratching, int yesterday, I thought Allen played extremely well. Statistically not so much, but against bottom feeders he isn't being asked to be more than a game manager. And even then, they still managed 20 points. He will likely need to be more than a game manager Thursday to beat the cowgirls. -
How is your family going to handle Thanksgiving?
CodeMonkey replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We are breaking with tradition, and watching the game live instead of a commercial free recording. And we'll likely eat during the game, whenever it is ready. Some family members are working and other commitments so we cannot eat earlier. -
In hockey if they challenge and lose, they get accessed a 2 min penalty and I believe lose their only timeout. In football, all you lose is a timeout if you are wrong. So if a play is even marginally close and you are going to call a timeout anyway, challenge the play and get a long timeout. Should be a loss of timeout and a penalty. Unsportsmanlike maybe, 15 yards. That way you only challenge if you mean it. Games take too long as it is.

Can the Detractors Now Admit Allen's Growth?
CodeMonkey replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All very valid points, and sensible. However the Bills paid the price and moved up to take this "no-name high school and a lowly college program in a bad conference" player #7 overall. So he is going to be scrutinized by the fan base. Fortunately, what the fan base thinks means exactly squat, particularly to the Bills current head coach. Judging Allen game to game, as you say, doesn't make sense other than to hopefully see some sign of recognition of what he should be doing, and executing some of that ... which IMO he has shown so far this season. However fans judging the Bills front office on this pick. which was a bit of a risk given Allens history, is going to happen ... and that's fair in my book. Again, fortunately for the Bills, that also means exactly squat -
Bills v. Fish Game Balls, Who Ya Got?
CodeMonkey replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Leslie Frazier. The looks, stunts, and blitzes had the fish o-line looking silly the entire game. Out of all the sacks, incompletions, and tackles for loss, look at how many were due to a Bills defender being untouched. He earned his salary this week for sure. -
Can the Detractors Now Admit Allen's Growth?
CodeMonkey replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He had a very good game today. Consistent, no big mistakes. Against a team where you would expect (and need) that kind of performance. The difficult part of the schedule is coming up. If he has this kind of performance against the ravens and cowgirls and basically the remaining schedule, then there should be no more detractors.
