Josh Allen in concussion protocol: Update cleared 10/5
CodeMonkey replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah concussions are tricky. He was probably running on adrenaline jogging off the field. Eventually that's going to wear off. That's the part the public does not get to see. If the Bills think he is their long term QB they shouldn't rush him back. That was a brutal cheap-shot he took. Error on the side of caution, but my coaching job is not on the line. -
Maiorana's Report: Realism or Pessimism?
CodeMonkey replied to Tolstoy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Against no offense. If they hold the pats to that, THEN you can use the work exceptional. -
10 observations on the 3-0 start
CodeMonkey replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What a bad year for kickers so far. The Giants game yesterday is another example of how important that can be. With all the teams trying to find one, isn't it nice to have a solid kicker on the roster and not needing to worry about that at least! -
I was expecting 4 or 5 since it is in Buffalo. 7 is an awful big spread for an away team to cover. I guess that's the point though. Get some people to bet the Bills. Yeah absolutely. Neither the pats or the bills have played anyone yet. This sundays game should tell us a lot about the skill level of the Bills. Regardless of the opponents, no one should question their heart.

Multiple stupid plays. The fumble which could have gone the other way without some good luck, multiple ill advised passes. Look, he is MUCH better than last year, But still makes rookie mistakes. He is still young and plenty time to improve even more. Opponents could be 0-9 after today. Next week they play somebody for the first time, and do they ever. . That will be a big test of everyone, coaches and players. Then we should have a much clearer picture.

That "player gave himself up" call for White at the end
CodeMonkey replied to Ennjay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His perception is irrelevant. It was a stupid play by the entire D. Would have been a unusual call to say the least, but they happen. Lucky. -
Next week: Bills 56, Patriots 3!
CodeMonkey replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the Giants lose, and they currently are, that would make the combined record of the Bills opponents 0-9 I believe. I'd hold on the superbowl reservations But they are beating the bottom feeders (albeit struggling) instead of being a bottom feeder which is very pleasant. The Pats game should show where they really are as a team. -
Bills 21, Bengals 17 Game Balls!!!
CodeMonkey replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Knox for sure, dead lock. Monster of a game. Zebras get an honorable mention yet again., Great to be the beneficiary of the calls. -
The real potential BIG Problem for DTV and Football
CodeMonkey replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You and me both my brother. I have 2 of my kids not living at home now, one is local and comes over for "dinner with the Bills" still. The other is at college way out of town. She watches along with us via my mediacenter software on her laptop at school while she eats and phones on speaker. So the tradition has managed to stay alive so far -
The real potential BIG Problem for DTV and Football
CodeMonkey replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I get what you mean and to each his/her own. But between the slowness of the game, and the interminable dead time for commercials, endless stream of penalties, etc., I don't know how it would hold interest for 3.5+ hours if it wasn't your team. Full disclosure, we don't watch Bills games live except for 4pm starts (and even then, only sometimes). We watch later with commercials and halftime removed. 75-90 minutes which is reasonable for a game with a clock time of 60 minutes. -
The real potential BIG Problem for DTV and Football
CodeMonkey replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Second half of the season, wins and losses haven't mattered much for the bills most of the past decade. But yes we'd still watch. We enjoy it as a family. We don't get torn up if they lose (the Bills have been largely irrelevant to the league for my kids entire lives) but always enjoy a win. It's a sport, and entertainment. I guess we treat it as such is the best way I can describe it. Well, not a gambler anyway Look at that Jets game for example. One player gets hurt and the defense goes to complete crap and lose the game they were winning comfortably. . I'd have far too many ulcers if I was gambling on NFL games. Far too volatile. -

CodeMonkey replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It amazes me that people still watch football if "their team" isn't playing. I lost interest in tackle football at least 5 years ago. I watch the Bills with the family every week. The rest of the day, Thursdays and Mondays, the game might be on in the background if we are home and there isn't something more interesting on another channel. But if the Bills moved I probably wouldn't watch football at all and doubt it would even be noticed much less missed except for the Bills games. -
Clock was continually running after out of bounds plays

That's the one people tend to forget. -
Mosley injury, Dabol play calling or both?
CodeMonkey replied to BuffaloMatt's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Probably both to be fair. The injury is the reason, IMO, the Bills came out with the W. But the adjustment made was both timely and spot on. Lets also not forget the Jests left 4 easy points on the field. Think the Jests GM is scouring the league for a kicker? Maybe that woman soccer player will get a tryout -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Winning the Fourth Quarter
CodeMonkey replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It really came down to two things: 1) Mosley going down. He was killing the Bills all day. As soon as he went out the Bills ran the ball all the way to a TD. This, to me, is what decided the game. 2) The Jets FG kicker leaving 4 easy points on the field (a case can be made 3 were due to the holder). Always good to win on opening day against a division rival. 4 turnovers should mean an immediate loss. But the Bills D kept them in the game and the O was able to capitalize on the injury. The O still looks to need a fair amount of work. Allen also delivered it at warp speed. He was better at that yesterday than he was last year. But still a work in progress apparently.
