Why wasn't Duke Williams active?

well who else would it be? If you are looking for a previous GLARING example of bad player personnel selection by this COACHING staff see PETERMAN, NATHAN. -
Why wasn't Duke Williams active?
Livinginthepast replied to HailMary's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would love to see Duke active again but I think this coaching staff likes to double down on their illogical decisions. Hope I'm wrong but I don't even know if we see him again. -
That Punt muff was textbook Officiating incompetence and Pats bias all in one mess of a play. You have to let the punt returner catch the ball before you hit him or touch him. The Pats player clearly interferes with the punt returner's arm. Then the ball is recovered by a Bengals player while on his stomach and being touched by a Pats player but its Pats ball. Officials in the booth have time to look at the play but do nothing.

Umm Duke's TD catch vs TN WON THE GAME, literally. -
Would we sell out a home playoff game?
Livinginthepast replied to Bakin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I still remember watching the Oilers comeback game in a sports bar in St.Catharines because the Ralph didn't sell out and it wasn't on TV. The Bar was full of a-hole Bills haters whooping it up because they thought the Bills were about to crushed. People laughing at Marv etc. Walking out of there after the victory and seeing their formerly smug faces turned to shocked disbelief was one of my sweetest memories of the 90s Bills. I went to the Jacksonville playoff game in 1996 and I'm not sure if that one sold out either. I can remember a lot of empty seats. -

I would take him absolutely. But that injury that he sustained was catastrophic. is he even going to be able to walk properly again? -

The NFL doesn't tend to miss on Offensive players very often these days. Pre 2000 it happened all the time, usually over racism or just plain stupidity in scouting. Defensively is where some players have been overlooked like Cameron Wake etc. But that's what makes Duke's case interesting. Talent wasn't a problem, it seems to NFL teams were scared off by the "character" incidents at Auburn. I don't think the Rams gave him a chance in 2016. What's happening now is something really odd.Duke gets a small opportunity with the Bills and makes the most of it in the preseason and they cut him. He gets brought back off the practice squad and performs well and catches most of the throws his way, scores a game winning TD , gets hurt in a game and disappears of the face of the earth. In spite of the fact that other players brought into replace him have completely failed to do anything. Its also weird because the Bills Offense is screaming for a big body on contested throws or Josh's high throws. I would love the local media to ask McD about Duke but so far I haven't seen any explanation. Just a weird situation. -
I think that Brown has proven he has great hands and the Jags defender did just enough to disrupt the pass. In fact it borders on PI but is probably a good no call. I don't think its a drop. But as others have said does Peters come through a bigger wide receiver there on that same play? Brown isn't that big a body. This is why I have been and will continue to scream for Duke Williams on that exact play. Peters wouldn't have gone through Duke to break it up.
