THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Humbled at the Goal Line
TheBrownBear replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Great post as always, Shaw. I think you can match their physicality while also playing to your strengths (execution in the short passing game, taking what the D is giving you, etc.), and we did that for much of the first half. We just needed to execute better in the redzone. Anyway. I'd rather learn whatever lesson can be gleaned from Monday night during week 6, than in mid-January. -
Beane's Draft Picks: Is Allen His Only Success?
TheBrownBear replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall
Oliver is fine and seems to be improving incrementally. It often takes interior defensive lineman a couple of years to really hit their stride. Ford, on the other hand, seems to be a certified bust at this point. Let's take a look at all of the major contributors to our current stud team drafted by Beane: Allen, Edmunds, Taron Johnson, Neal, Knox, Singletary, Oliver, Bass, Gabe Davis, Moss, Spencer Brown and Rousseau. And we've gotten contributions from Dane Jackson, Darryl Johnson, Jaquan Johnson, Harrison Phillips. Guys like Epenesa, Basham and Sweeney also show promise. -
Beane's Draft Picks: Is Allen His Only Success?
TheBrownBear replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall
They've been productive given their physical limitations and lack of touches. I don't think they're great, obviously, but they've given us okay production for 3rd round draft picks. People love to hate on Devin, but he's averaging over 5 ypc, and Moss does a good job of grinding out tough yards. Go back and watch these games, they aren't getting much of anything blocking wise up front. -
Looking at Power Rankings and other articles today, it seems the Bills weren't downgraded by the national media much at all based on last night's loss. Most see it for what it was - a competitive road game against another contender that we had a chance to steal in the last minute. Pretty sure everyone outside of this board (and other hardcore Bills fans) still view us as one of the top 3-4 teams to bring home the Lombardi Trophy.

Tre and the entire secondary, including Levi, have been awesome this year. I'm not about to bury any of them for one bad half of football in which we were getting zero pass rush.

Whitney Mercilus, DE, released by Texans
TheBrownBear replied to RyanC883's topic in The Stadium Wall
Dump Obada and sign this guy. Immediate upgrade at edge rusher. -
Glass half empty - we've now dropped two winnable games to fellow AFC playoff contenders. Glass half full - we're healthy, we have a top-5 QB, a very good young head coach, arguably the best/most-balanced overall roster in the league, have a 2 game lead in the AFCE and an unbelievably soft schedule for the rest of the season.

[Vague Title] Something that I learned last night
TheBrownBear replied to OrtonHearsaWho's topic in The Stadium Wall
Levy is just unbelievably annoying. I never really noticed it until last night when he was calling the game. I usually don't give much thought to the announcing team, but man, Collinsworth and these guys on back-to-back weeks was too much. I need the bye week as much as the players at this point. -
Every team has issues all year long that pop up and that they work on week-to-week to improve, while the opponent learns to counterpunch them. It's not just the Bills. I wouldn't say we got clearly outplayed last night. We had areas where we struggled, sure, but we outgained them by 50 yards, won the T.O.P. battle by 5 minutes, and were a couple of inches away from a walk off win on enemy soil. Titans had some big plays break their way (kickoff penalty, 76 yard td run, PI/helmet catch, etc.). It happens. Especially against playoff teams on the road. The Patriots won 6 Super Bowls and they didn't go undefeated in any of those years as far as I can recall.

10/18/21 Gameday Bills @ Titans Postgame thread
TheBrownBear replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
It ain't as if the Titans are chopped liver, fellas. And we were playing in their house. I'd rather we lose a game like this in week 6, when we still have time to learn from it. P.S., how the hell did that team lose to the JETS???? -
I liked the call to go for it, but would have preferred a RPO for Josh out of the gun.
-
We ain't stopping them. Josh gonna have to will us down the field next series.
-
WTH, Josh! Just take what they're giving you
-
Maybe they'll just run out of players at this point.

I don't understand why they went with Obada over Epenesa tonight. Also, we have gone so vanilla on both sides of the ball and it is costing us.
