And that, my friend, is the point. Currently the onside kick has a negligible impact on the game and is a waste of time. The NFL wants to institute a play that actually means something.
-
Well, sure, anyone can pick a game in the past that was impacted by a successful onside kick. That doesn’t mean it is statistically significant over the course of NFL history. You guys are acting like a team converting this 4th and 15 equates to “instant points” and that is simply not the case.

I think this is probably a great example of confirmation bias. While you think this is “an important part of the game that has always been” I’m willing to bet that in reality, the data would show it has a negligible impact on the game and is typically just a waste of time. At least this play would create “actual” excitement and keep the end of games in doubt.

Murphy Out at One Bills Live - Brown and Glab to Replace
eball replied to Arkady Renko's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Murph has never endeared himself to me as the Bills play-by-play guy. Never. As the Bills enter a new era of greatness they should look to upgrade their broadcaster as well. -
NFL.com: "Which coach has the best chance to win 1st SB?"

Whenever I see this man's name the instant memory that pops into my head is him discussing his HOF teammate Emmitt Schmiff. -
Pete Prisco's top 100 players of the NFL. (CBS Sports)
eball replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd suggest the Bills have "top end talent" at CB, S, LB, DL, WR, RB, and (hopefully) QB. The only areas without names who jump off the page are OL/TE -- and some might even consider Morse and Dawkins "top end." This argument that the Bills are just a collection of good hard working players without any flash is a falsity. They've been developing a raw young QB and building the team around him -- the 2020 Bills are as talented as just about anyone, from top to bottom. -
Can Stefon Diggs Emerge as a Superstar in Buffalo?
eball replied to jletha's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's comforting to me that you find reasons to worry about even the good things that happen to the Bills. You should stay inside today. It might rain pianos. -
Buffalo Bills Embedded 2020 premiers 5/20
eball replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That clip was money. They wanted Davis to fall so they could grab him. "Just run a 4.58." Love that these guys don't get enamored with 40 times and are looking for football players. And how many times did McD say "someone who will catch the ball" when talking about WRs? The dude gets it, unlike some around here believe. He knows why the passing game suffered last year, and it wasn't because of Josh's iNacCuRacY. -
Sportsline has Jets as overwhelming favorites

Fraudulent site, trying to play off the legitimate CBS Sportsline feed...check out the handle...they are using an 'l' instead of an 'i'... Shut this down. -
NFL Approves Rule Changes for Hirings
eball replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know why this is so difficult. By getting more exposure, yes, more minorities will have opportunities to show they are best suited for the job. It's still up to them to prove they deserve being hired. -
The Athletic: Vic's Over/Under (Bills over 8.5)
eball replied to inthebuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seriously. If we were defending Josh Allen for a similar throw we'd be laughed off the board. That said, the Ravens, Chiefs, and Bills are going to be battling for AFC supremacy for the foreseeable future. Some other teams will pop up here and there but these are going to be the most consistent three of the 2020s. -
It's gonna be the biggest year of his life (to date).

Judging from your post history, I don't doubt that for a second. p.s. sometimes the crowd is right

NFL Approves Rule Changes for Hirings
eball replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The rule improves minorities’ exposure, it doesn’t improve their chances. In theory the best man/woman gets the job — the NFL is simply saying you need to interview a broader range of candidates when making your choice. -
Meh. No sense of humor as usual.
-
Yes, so you agree with me. Thanks for your support.

The Athletic: Vic's Over/Under (Bills over 8.5)
eball replied to inthebuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Me too. Didn't understand that signing from the get-go. -
I have to think that the idiot must actually believe it. I mean, why would Tom Freaking Brady be pimping health supplements? He's already richer than God and certainly doesn't need the money or publicity. The doofus just believes that this crap works. It's not like we don't have other figures in high places believing in magic elixirs with no proof of efficacy.

I think Josh Allen will be fine, but man, it would have been nice if he had been able to learn for a season behind Fitz. The first half of Josh's rookie season was pretty lost, at least until they brought DA in.
-
Me too! Always looked for #77. RIP. My 10-year-old self says it hurt worse. I loved that 1980 team.

Dummy.

Beane on The Pat McAfee Show Today
eball replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tremendous interview. Literally every time I hear Beane speak I thank my lucky stars he came to Buffalo. He and McD are building a monster. -
Josh is just a smart guy and completely dedicated to being great. His release is quick; he has still been learning how to play QB because he started playing the position relatively "late" in his young life. He has had SO much catching up to do. I really think he's going to jump off the page this season; the crowd who thought he'd never make it will be eating heaping servings of crow.
