    The "touch back"

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    F the refs. I hate to say it, but I really believe there is a tangible dislike of the Buffalo Bills amongst a lot of NFL refs. Hochuli especially. What the hell was the personal foul on Kyle? No contact, no punches thrown... did he say a naughty word Ed? How often do players jaw at each other on the field and it's never called. Where's the consistency. No way that flag is thrown when Brady calls someone a MFer.

     

    Not only that, but I remember three consecutive drives where I was just getting more and more pissed off at the refs. There was the Kyle Williams penalty first, which was complete bull. Then the no call on their last touchdown on 3rd down where the receiver stepped out of bounds, right before he caught it, then stepped back in as he made the catch. That's illegal touching and should at least have been brought back. Then the next drive there was the no call on the obvious pass interference on the Goodwin bomb. We punt it, they come back down the field. We sack Dalton on (I believe) 3rd down. The ref directly behind Dalton calls a facemask, when both defenders grabbed shoulder pads. Not even helmet. I left the bar I was at after that call.

    I'm so pissed about that game, more because of the refs than anything. It was such bulls***. On that last punt return, they literally tackled one of our gunners from behind. No flag. The Kyle Williams flag? Bullcrap. The last passing touchdown Dalton had? The receiver stepped out of bounds, came back in just in time to catch the ball. No flag. The deep pass to Goodwin the next play? The CB grabs him from behind and pulls him backwards out of reach of the ball. No flag. The sack of Dalton that was called a facemask? The ref literally right behind him called it, he couldn't even see the facemask, and the two defensive lineman that grabbed him both obviously grabbed shoulder pads, not even anywhere on the helmet. Crap penalty. Every time we stopped them on 3rd down, it seemed like the refs gave them a first down for no reason. That Robey penalty on A.J. Green? About as clean of a play as it gets in the NFL these days. There was nothing there. It was stupid. I've never been so pissed off at all the bull crap and non-calls.

    Players cut from other teams that the bills should sign

    Should we start a "Players from other teams cut that the Bills should sign" thread so we dont have a billion Player X cut should we sign him threads?

     

    J'Marcus Webb, OT - Started 44 Games. Could he slide to guard and backup and eventually take over?

    Daniel Fells, TE - Big TE, 6'4 270. could be a depth TE. Dickerson cut creates a need at depth TE.

    Brian Banks - LB - Spent 5 years in jail. an inspirational story. 5th year man. Depth LB.

    Jake Ballard - TE - Injury issues. played well for the Giants. Was once thought to be Shockey replacement.

    Stanford Routt - CB - Vetean CB, couldnt stick with the Chiefs or Raiders.

    Marc Anthony - CB - 7th Rd pick of the Raves.

     

    Sorry, but I'm not that excited about any of these. Webb could end up being a decent guard eventually, but no way should he be the swing tackle or hope to replace anyone. Fells has never impressed and just been passed from team to team. Banks is a feel-good story that got cut even though people WANTED him to make the team. Ballard has lost not one but a few steps since injury and isn't very good any more. Routt couldn't stick with the Raiders on a team completely devoid of talent. What does that tell you about him? And finally, I know nothing about Marc Anthony, but just because he came from the Ravens doesn't mean he's any good. In fact, their DBs are probably as bad as they have been in a while, which means that if he couldn't provide depth on that team, he probably won't make it anywhere.

    Da'rick Rogers cleared waivers

    I think you're all missing something. Practice squads aren't created until the day after everyone has to be down to 53 players on the roster.

     

    I feel like Rogers was cut for one of two reasons: 1) he was horrible in some way and the coaches felt like they didn't want him on the team or 2) He would be expected to play a lot in this final game, so if they are trying to get him onto the practice squad, not being on the team for the 4th game combined with his very limited number of snaps means that there is very little tape on him. Other teams don't know anything about him as a pro, other than that he was one of the first cuts, and he would have very little time to learn a new playbook. Therefore, cutting him now is probably the best way to "sneak" him onto the practice squad, if that's what they are trying to do.

    I'm only following online (and reading comments here), but a couple things thing stand out to me:

     

    Nice job getting positive yards in first down. That consistent four yards on first down makes the O flow.

     

    Awesome swarming D, aggressive and making it happen.

     

    You've pretty much nailed it

     

    Which DBs have the insanely long hair? I keep thinking I'm seeing Gilmore still out there, but it's obviously not him

    At this point, I'd be ok with Kolb being cut, unless he does something magical in games 3 and 4.

     

    I'm fully prepared to go into the season with EJ and Tuel as the two QBs. Two rookies isn't the worst thing in the world, just look at RG3 and Cousins in Washington
