Sunday NFC Wild Card: Eagles at Bears 4:40 NBC
Livinginthepast replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Philly seriously misses Ajayi, He was the key missing piece last year. Foles still looks money to me. Its a wonder that this guy was such a journeyman until last year. He can still throw a really accurate pass even in huge pressure situations. Even without Reich, Philly still looks well coached to me. As for Chicago they just need another player or 2 and they can get to the promised land. Great game to finish the weekend! -

Once again WTF are the Seattle coaches doing?? Special teams coach should have told him to tap it off the tee and dribble it 10 yards instead we get that?? SMH!! -

NFC Wild Card: Seahawks at Cowboys 8:15 Fox
Livinginthepast replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seattle is a lot like GB with Rodgers. They should have won multiple SBs with Wilson. Just like GB, Seattle's coaching and player management around their star QB has completely let them down. Dallas was ripe to be upset tonight but the Seattle offense has been so predictable. -
AFC Wild Card: Colts at Texans 4:35 ESPN
Livinginthepast replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
the Texans were completely overrated and Watson looked awful. The real surprise was the Colts, they looked excellent today. Luck looks better than he has ever been in an offense that seems properly tailored to him and Reich looks like he should have been the Colts first choice all along! -
I have a bad feeling that the Pats somehow sneak past the AFC because Andy Reid and Philipp Rivers just cant get it done when it really matters. I really hope I am wrong. As for the NFC I think the Saints have looked a little too ordinary the last few weeks and Brees looks like he has done something to his throwing shoulder. I think the Rams can cause an upset and go to the SB. Rams beat the Pats in the SB.

Bills sign Derek Anderson to extension
Livinginthepast replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If he is a mentor for Josh, then great. But I never want to see him play a down again. Why not sign him as QB coach instead? Better for all concerned! -
Kyle Williams: Officially Retires
Livinginthepast replied to Clemfield2622's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
End of era. Thank you Kyle for being a class act and solid, dependable player. Glad that he made it to the playoffs and too bad that a guy with his work ethic didn't experience more success because of the ineptness of the Bills management through much of his tenure here. You will be missed! -
EJ Manuel: What went wrong after year 1?
Livinginthepast replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To me EJ was promising but was never the same after the injury he took in Cleveland in that primetime night game. Everything about him became way more tentative and hesitant. By the time he replaced an injured TT in that London game against the Jags he was pretty much a bust. He might have ended up the exact same way careerwise had he not been injured vs the Browns but St.Doug obviously had had enough by Year 2 and got Orton off the scrap heap to somewhat salvage the season. Perhaps EJ would have been decent had they kept Fitz for another year and he not started? -
The Pats were so irrelevant in the 80s and 90s except for the 2 years they got walloped in the SBs. Outside of that, the only reason I remember a single Pats game from my childhood was when that guy on the tractor came on the field and cleaned the snow for the winning FG by the Pats. I shake my head at the fact that they have been this good for this long. Truly it is like Brady and BB made a deal with the devil. Nobody is this good for this long. The fact that as Bills fans we have had to suffer with most of the garbage players and coaches of the last 20 years at the exact same time just rubs salt into the bitter wound!!!

The receiving corps has baffled me this year. You had KB and Clay who were supposedly A1 talent continually show us a lack of skill, effort and commitment. Zay has been better than expected but seeing that his expectations after last year were so poor that isn't something to celebrate. Foster has been a pleasant surprise but he isn't not an elite level receiver. None of the group has made any amazing grabs, contested catches or most importantly clutch receptions when it was most necessary. The pass that was lost in the sun in the first Q yesterday says it all. In short we have no money players anything like what the OP mentioned.

This should have been a statement game for McD and co and they sure made a statement about how completely unprepared they were. It was like watching a game from the 1950s when teams would play each other and not have any film or scouting on their opponents and every play was a surprise. Except of course the Pats seemed to have done their simple homework on how to beat Josh Allen and destroy our vaunted defense. The Pats completely schooled us on the running game and McD made no adjustments to stop it. We went into this with an incredibly cautious game plan. No tricks, no misdirections, no disguises, just plain old vanilla offense. And despite all this incompetence in preparation, we forced the Pats into 3 turnovers! The Pats were practically gifting us the game and despite all the advantages we still didn't convert anything into Tds until late. The final straw for me was watching Hauschka get trotted out for FGs when he is obviously hurting. His Fg attempt that hit the bar looked so unlike the normal kicking power he has. Which begs the question, with nothing on the line why aren't you shutting Hauschka down for the season? Why use him if you know he is not at 100%. About the only ray of sunshine in this 60 minutes of excrement was that the refs didn't screw us over too badly as they usually do (except for the bizarre block in the back penalty on our OWN Kick which of course SEE BS didn't show a replay on. Overall, another embarrassingly easy win for the Pats in the Brady era.
