Does the Bills Fan Base Need to Cut Miller Some Slack?
BADOLBILZ replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
"Pretty good sense" and "know for sure" are not the same thing, right? And right now Miller hasn't caught a case.........so perhaps there is actually reasonable doubt about her initial and later recanted story. But I'd hate to interrupt a good figurative lynching with common sense. -
Does the Bills Fan Base Need to Cut Miller Some Slack?
BADOLBILZ replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why is that the only scenario? And why is it not "plausible" that she was being irrational, punitive or untruthful? And why does Miller leaving the home have to be "fleeing" because she called the cops and not "walking away" from an argument and getting the cops called on him because of it? Be honest.........is your perspective because your ex-stripper, multiple-rich-athlete-dating baby momma' was always delightful whenever she was pregnant and angered about not getting something she wanted from you? And because you would never walk away from an argument with a significant other to diffuse the situation? And why was this poor girl so nice to you if you weren't psychologically manipulating and/or grooming her from a young age? I don't know about you, DaBillsDABillsDaBills..... Maybe you are a good guy.......but it just doesn't seem plausible as I am piecing this all together. -

I wanted the Bills to focus on offense in the 2022 offseason but you people constantly throwing yourselves over the Miller contract really take it over the top. He was tremendous, All-Pro level performer in 2022 and then a late season ACL injury(which are not necessarily age related) pretty much took him out for this season. Maybe if he were younger he bounces back quicker but every surgery and recovery is different. Bradley Chubb partially tore an ACL late in 2020 season at age 24 and had a terrible, sackless 2021 despite being 25. Miller's total cap hit would be 3 years at $17.5M per year when they can cut him after next season. Painful but he WAS panning out prior to a random serious injury. It's not and never was a top of the market DE contract. -
No I think the @CincinnatiKid is right he is subject to waivers despite his experience because it is at the very end of the season. That said.......I don't think he gets claimed by a team he doesn't want to go to. Different situation than Kareem Jackson.......who was released because Payton didn't want him around any longer.
-
Van Demark played well at LT and poorly at RT in the preseason..........he might be the RT2 in a given game where the OT's are both enter the game healthy......but in the event of injury to Spencer Brown I'd suspect that Ifedi would be on the active roster and play RT ahead of Van Demark the following week.
-
He can't be claimed he becomes a free agent automagically. And I think his 17 game checks are all fully guaranteed having been on the 53 in week 1..........so probably no financial reason to jump teams. So could just be a weekend on the PS and then if there is an injury he gets back on the 53.

Sex? I'm told there is physical evidence that Miller has had very intimate relations with the victim in the past in the form of at least 3 pregnancies........and she used to have a pretty physical job swinging on poles as a sex worker prior to getting with Miller. So maybe their idea of normal contact is not the same as yours. Bottom line........nobody but those 2 really knows what the hell happened. You can pretend to know all you want............you still don't. -

We have our share of closeted or semi-closeted Boston pro sports fans on here. They generally try to keep it under wraps because they know it's disgusting........unless you are from New England there is no excuse to ever be both a Bills fan and a fan of a pro sports team from Boston. Bullfrog from WGR identifies as a Red Sox fan..........but he is one of those "finish line" fans that lose all interest after the team wins a title. Another reason to root for a Bills SB win.

You clearly don't understand the subject of this thread. KC fans thought they were getting upgrades at OT.......because they expected those players talents to be optimized........because it was THEIR team. Bills fans had the same kind thoughts about the veteran replacements in the WR room........they were certain to be upgrades..........even though the more LIKELY outcome was that they would produce closer to or less than their career norms........which for Sherfield and Sharty were VERY poor numbers. You for some reason want to cherry pick players who have been constants and add them randomly to some equation that's irrelevant to the topic. And isn't the least bit enlightening because you aren't mentioning that the other constants/incumbents are all having down years. The Bills passing game has gotten worse.......Diggs and Davis are having down years........but that isn't the topic. Understand?
-
So I posted the stats......and you.........thought I didn't know the stats? You're a little lost, Bermuda. The point is that Bills fans thought it was a big upgrade adding Sharty and Sherfield.......like the Chiefs did with the OT's.......the subject of this thread. It's just the nature of uninformed and/or unrealistic fans to expect the near best possible results..........even though the rule of thumb with free agency has always been that it usually(at least in year 1) hurts the team that loses the player more than it helps the team that acquires the player. But fwiw........Crowder has more receiving yardage than any of the other 3 this season as he circles the drain in what is probably his last year in the league. As I said later in this thread.........the shuffling of the washed up Crowder and the 3 other nobodies has not benefitted ANYONE. As for the name-fluid receiver recently known as Deonte Harris..........what's wrong with a tweak so that WR's 3-6 all have last names that start with "Sh"? The HuSH brothers were going to quiet the doubters like me. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Yeah I was going to expand into the highlighted with Hap but wanted to keep the response simpler since she was just missing the point. Which was the Bills choice of which vets to replace the outgoing Lil' Dummy and Crowder with. It was a swap in the similar sense to what KC did at the tackle spots and there were fans on here who bought into the Kool-aid/untapped potential angle like it was a sure thing. For $7M in guarantees they got Sharty and Sherfield and replaced 500 yards in production with a combined 200 yards so far. While Dummy and Crowder had a $1.2 and a vet min cap hit($880K) and have outproduced them by about 30 yards or so while also vanishing from any relevance whatsoever. It was $6M waste of cap space to shuffle deck chairs that has also seemed to injure everyone involved. But yeah, I think your point is the main reason Sherfield hasn't been productive. Not going to get targets if not trusted to be where you are supposed to be. Was it the KC game or the Philly game where he was supposed to run a post and basically ran the virtually extinct bang 9 route......straight into coverage.......and Allen threw the ball where he should have been for an almost sure TD? That was maybe the most egregiously poor route of the season by a Bills WR. No question whatsoever that was all on him. Gabe has had some doozies but that one was a true ***** by Sherfield.

I think it was pretty clear by the end of last season that Cedrick Wilson wasn't going to be that guy. I've seen all of their games and there hasn't been any concerted effort to get him regularly involved. He has 381 total yards in his 2 seasons in Miami. Sherfield had 417 last season alone and seemed to be trending up. (edit: and the money isn't THAT big with Cedrick it was basically a 2 year $12.5M guaranteed deal) Sherfield leaving Miami for a $1.8M contract in Buffalo has turned into a seemingly terrible decision for him. He had some helium in Miami in an offense that doesn't feature a TE, didn't have much WR depth, had good passing weather, no state taxes.... For it to turn out like it has for Sherfield has to be extremely frustrating. He and Poona Ford both have really seen their careers come to a screeching halt on $1.7M deals in Buffalo this season. Hasn't been much better for Rapp either. 3 guys whose status has diminished in Buffalo after taking cheap deals.
-
No he had clearly beaten Cedrick Wilson out in 2022.........it wasn't even close in terms of target share or production. Sherfield and Gesicki were neck and neck in targets at 51 and 52 but Sherfield was more productive per play and everyone knew Gesicki was leaving for somewhere they might use him more. The Dolphins were shocked when Sherfield left his great gig to go to Buffalo.......and then when he said the reason was that he wanted to play with a great QB. And fwiw..........the Dolphins have not been able to replace Sherfield either. It's Hill and Waddle and then a bunch of guys like Wilson with 200 or so yards.

If they get swept by the bottom-feeding Patriots they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Shouldn't be a tough task for leadership to motivate the team this week.

@PromoTheRobot is just setting you up in the unlikely event that Joe Flacco (10 TD 7 INT 59% completion) somehow beats the Bills in the playoffs............so he can shame you for not being an appreciative fan. If JA17 loses a playoff game to a 38-39 year old Joe Flacco........9 years after he was last a good starting QB in the NFL.........then that will be inexcusable.

You are going off the rails a bit here, Hap. Kincaid has basically the same yards per game as Knox had last year. That's who he's replaced in the pecking order in 2023. Shakir replaces the Crowder/McKenzie/Beasley in the slot. But it's not as simple as that. Diggs production is way down. Davis is also down. If you want to play that game you will go in circles because things have changed. In part because Sherfield and Harty have not played to expectations. So what we do know is that the Bills switched out veterans Crowder, McKenzie(and Kumerow if you wish) and brought in veterans Sherfield and Harty.........to some degree of fanfare......not just as special teams players and blockers. And in Harty's case for significantly more money invested. I mean, Sherfield didn't quit his job as the clear-cut WR3 in Miami to get paid near minimum wage to replace Kumerow as a 5th or 6th WR. He thought it was a better opportunity to advance his career with the Bills because they had a weaker 1-2 combo than the target hogging stud 1-2 Hill/Waddle grouping in Miami. He might have even thought he could compete with Davis.........where he could not with either Hill and Waddle. What Sherfield found out is that having 2 studs in Miami actually provided him MORE opportunity. They draw a lot of attention. The Bills lack of a consistent WR2 type weapon has allowed defense's to distribute their attention more proportionately after Diggs. Where Kincaid fits into the equation at the time of the Sherfield and Sharty signings? He did not exist in them. Because they had no idea they were going to have Kincaid. In fact, most of the chatter/info was that WR was their hope to acquire in round 1........and they just pivoted with the WR's gone and Kincaid on the board.

Playoff Lenny should be active rest of year...
BADOLBILZ replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall
He doesn't bring any Juice. If you need 4 yards he can get you 4........if you need 5......he can get you 4. That's who he is......whether it's in the regular season or the playoffs..........4 yards per carry career........which is below league average per carry fwiw. -
This is nothing compared to Zerovoltz starting a thread talking about the Bills need worse receivers because the Chiefs won a SB without them(not realizing how important a do-everything-well receiver who caught nearly 80% of targets Juju Smith-Schuster was for them). You can always tell that someone has no clue about talent evaluation when part of their description of a player is "he can't be worse than" so-and-so. Common sense could tell you that Brown was better than Taylor. Common sense could tell you Smith was washed. In fairness, we had a lot of people claiming Sherfield and Sharty were big upgrades over what the Bills got rid of...........and as I said then.......the truth was always that Crowder and McKenzie clearly had been better NFL players in their careers. Sherfield and Harty weren't actually likely to be more productive players. Sure enough, Crowder and McKenzie put up 500 yards in 2022........and the Bills have only gotten 200 from Sherfield and Sharty.

Is Florida St Ever Going to Stop Whining ?
BADOLBILZ replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in College Football
Clemson, Miami and UNC will follow them out........they are just letting the state school pay the legal bill. -
This season seems pretty much par for the course IMO. As oft noted they were 7-6 thru 13 games in 2021.........same kind of disappointing performance 3/4 of the way thru the regular season as this year. Last year the Jets and Vikings losses were the inexcusable blown games.........the Lions game was nearly a disastrous upset.......and the Bengals cancellation made a regular season with a strong record feel incomplete. Mid-season malaises are the way of this team ever since McD got here.........and strong Decembers have been the way since Allen broke out in 2020. If they finish the regular season 11-6 we will tend to forget how disappointing they were in the regular season just like the last two seasons.
-
There is the same narrative. I've heard it brought up numerous times on broadcasts that he has turned the ball over more than anyone since he entered the league.

LAC were like the 30th ranked pass defense. SOMETHING had to give.
-
Yeah that's the way it works. People forget the facts quickly. They forget that they struggled offensively down the stretch in 2021 versus feeble Atlanta and Carolina teams.........they just remember the two playoff games against NE and KC and the fact they were on a winning streak and think they just caught fire offensively and stayed hot. And last year they entered the Cinci playoff game on a 9 game hot streak where they averaged 30 points per game but all everyone remembers is how they got shut down versus Cinci. The disturbing trend is that they can't get a second play maker to step up. Last week it was just Cook. This week, just Gabe Davis. They lack a 1-2 punch and are rather winning 1 matchup each week.
