Glazer reports Jets moving on from Wilson.
dpberr replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Zach Wilson, much like ol' Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold, had consistent cautions about coachability in their draft profiles. Rosen refused to be coached, Darnold had problems executing what he was being coached to do. When stressed, Darnold remains the QB he was at USC. On the other hand, Josh Allen had positive reviews on coachability, and IMO, that has been the difference maker. Allen accepts coaching and and executes it. I think for NFL teams that draft QBs, once you start seeing multiple accounts of attitude or coaching problems, go invest in another quarterback. Don't be the loving spouse that thinks you'll "change" them. -
Leslie Frazier expected to be "in the mix" for Broncos HC job
dpberr replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
I personally don't think he has a desire to be a HC. He takes the interviews out of professional courtesy. -
Seattle and Washington are my dark horses. Carroll because he will be 72 and may retire. Rivera because the Commanders get a new owner and want "their" guy.

Was set up to fail from the start because the Broncos were cheap. I believe the only reason he was hired was in some sort of odd bid for Aaron Rodgers. When that failed, the Broncos should have just bought out Hackett and went in a different direction. Wilson looked done last year in Seattle. He's put an exclamation point on that this year. Cognitively, he's not there as a football player anymore. They will have to do a Brock Osweiler type of deal to get someone interested in taking on that contract.

IMO, No. Guys like Mandarich, Emtman, Bosworth all had far more college accolades and didn't quite get there in the NFL. Then you've virtually every all world RB out of Penn State from Blair Thomas to Kijana Carter. Wilson is like Akili Smith, Andre Ware, Tim Couch. One great college year but was way over drafted by a desperate team.

Is that a European thing? Why would you walk aside the cart? I'm a believer in the shopping cart theory. I feel it readily identifies those in society with sociopathic personalities.

Devin Singletary not scoring a TD with 34 seconds left
dpberr replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
I thought it was a smart play. It was a boot on the neck kind of play. Miami could only hope the field goal would fail. 16 seconds allowed the MCM. 13 seconds allowed Patrick Mahomes back on the field. -

Send the house. He can't handle it. -

Another bizarre defensive "strategy" in this game. -

If there has been defensive adjustments, now is the time to deploy them. -
Good question. In my experience, I had the folliculitis on my neck, but not my face, and once I started sanitizing the razor blades, the problem on my neck went away. Also consider your skin not liking aftershave, beard oil or anything else you put on your face.
-
I always spritz my razors with isopropyl alcohol, let it dwell for a minute, and then use it. I never keep my razor in the shower, I take it out and let it dry. It works for me, I've never had a razor burn or the folliculitis on my neck. A barber clued me into this a long time ago - razors, etc. all have bacteria on them, and you go away opening up the hair follicles on the neck for it. I use isopropyl because it's cheap. You can also get the fancier barbicide.

Arizona is one of the league's quieter terrible teams. All hat no cattle. Closer to a rebuild than the Super Bowl. Besides hosting them, they aren't going anywhere near the Super Bowl with Kingsbury/Murray. His college plays long discovered by NFL defenses. He's 90% athlete, 10% NFL quarterback.

Jerry Sullivan crosses the line. Comments against women.
dpberr replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't care for his opinions on things but he's a very good columnist. People read it, and it's generated 13 pages of comments. Mission accomplished. I hate seeing the cancelling of opinion. This whole "I don't agree with it, I want him/her gone!" creates a weak-minded population fed off the tete of group think and corporate communications. -
I look at Colt McCoy's career and see a successful model. In the league since 2010. He's outlasted everyone else picked in the 3rd round of the draft. He could have had a similar career. There are worse things in life than making millions being a backup quarterback with real shots at starting fame and glory. Life's lesson is stay out of your own way.

Updated Beasley signing to practice squad
dpberr replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
The moves to bring Brown and Beasley into the mix are shrewd moves. I really like that the front office decided to go this route. I think both of them will have integral roles in getting the Bills to the Super Bowl. -
NFL Week #14 - Jets at Bills - Post game thread
dpberr replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm happy the Bills are 10-3 and winning these sorts of games they would have lost last season. All teams are playing ugly ball now. It's late in the season. My concern is growing that the offense grinds to a halt without hero ball from Allen/Diggs. It has a flavor of being one-dimensional. It requires the Josh Allen awesome run or the Diggs magic to move down the field. There will be a defense, or defense+weather that manages to degrade both enough, and the Bills will need to rely on someone else. I wouldn't wait to the divisional game to draw those plays up. The Bills need to sell that everyone can be a weapon in that offense. -
In a different decade, the media's hair would be on fire about the obvious thing being said here: Social media is either on US government computers and infrastructure, or the US government can see everything on social media. The only reason the US wants to ban TikTok is that it's not on US government computers and the government has no doors into it.

Super Bowl aspirations are still there but it'll require more of one person in particular - Frazier. It's not that any one man can get Buffalo into the SB, but Leslie Frazier isn't going to do what he drew up to beat KC with anyone on this team but Von Miller. I'm afraid that when that crunch time inevitably arrives again, he'll get conservative and give Kansas City/Cincy/ what it expects he'll do.

In Colorado's case, they went cheap on coaches who couldn't recruit but wouldn't jump ship for a better offer. In Nebraska's case, they've only been crap since 2015 with two nightmare coaching hires in Mike Riley and Scott Frost. Both Riley and Frost knew the game but couldn't recruit. Sanders and Rhule have the recruiting talent, and that's why I expect both programs will be a lot better.

When he didn't workout for any of the teams at these visits, the jig was up.

I guess the owner was enraged/embarrassed by that Titans/Eagles game. Impulsive rage move. The team likely wins the division, may finish 12-5. I thought the Titans were wise not signing a WR with TWO surgically repaired knees to a long term contract. Eagles are getting a great season out of AJ Brown but they paid $57 million in cash for it if those knees get creaky next year. Risky. He'd get fired if they signed him to that contract, and he's hobbled seasons 2-4 of the contract.
-
The Eagles and the City of Philadelphia tolerate a lot of violence in and around the stadium on game day. Too much booze, too few cops, and the worst offenders know they can get away with it. I've seen a couple nasty fights simply break out over being in the wrong seat. Should you get punched in the face in front of your kid for being in the wrong seat by mistake? No.

He's a fit on the Colts. At a minimum, Mayfield could throw a 20-yard pass. Right now, that's an impossible task in Indianapolis with Matt Ryan.
-
I agree. Colorado (and Nebraska) have top of the line athletic facilities and wealthy boosters. I wouldn't consider them poor, ignored programs. It will be interesting to see how they do with real investment at the head coaching position with two guys who have a recruiting pedigree.
