NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol
TheBrownBear replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes, he could do all of that, but, by all accounts, he's a guy that, first and foremost, loves football and wants to play. He's not looking for a payday. He's looking for the opportunity to play the game that he loves. -
NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol
TheBrownBear replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Omalu is pretty much anti-football in general, so it's not surprising he's the one saying it. There is no way in hell Tua retires now assuming he makes a full recovery from this concussion. I could see it with another major concussion on the heels of this one, but my understanding is that this is the first major concussion he's suffered in his career. People are right to be appalled at how the last two weeks played out for Tua, but this "he should retire" talk is way over the top, imo. -
Same here. I mean, they're not great, but most local sports talk radio around the country isn't either. I like being able to hear Bills talk during the day being marooned out here in San Diego.

Bills and Tavon Austin mutually part ways
TheBrownBear replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
Dang it! One of my favorite Bills ever. Can't say a negative thing about him. Not even any near fumbles. Just wait until Will Fuller signs with a CFL team! -
Singletary was close to fumbling with seconds remaining

Starting to wonder if the OP's screen name and threads are meant to be ironic. -
This throw is so good, it deserves its own thread
TheBrownBear replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
It was a ballsy throw at that moment in the game and he just dropped a dime. I remember when we had crappy quarterbacks and you'd watch the film and apologists would be like "what do you expect (insert: Tyrod/Losman/Edwards/EJ, etc.) him to do? None of the receivers are open!!!", because guys had very little separation or the windows were too tight or whatever. So many guys who could only complete a pass if there was like 5 yards of free space around a guy. Josh can fit it in there if his receiver only has 6 inches of separation and now that he's fully mastered the position, he doesn't even need that. His ability to anticipate is now top shelf stuff. Add that to his God given abilities and you have a truly generational talent. We are sooooo lucky to have this guy. He is must watch football for any fan, even those who hate the Bills. -
Move Gabe Davis to holder until his ankle heals. Shakir played well last week and Davis has great hands for holding (or he did until this week). Then we can cut Martin and sign Andy Isabella, Cole Beasley and OBJ.

I just perused the Steelers forums and they almost unanimously expect to get blown out on Sunday. Seem like a reasonable bunch compared to the knuckleheads over at FinHell.

Just took a look at the schedule, and wow, it really lightens up after Green Bay (who I think is overrated and a team we'll beat). It looks like a 14-3 record or 13-4 at worst, and 15-2 isn't out of the question provided we can get healthy. Beat Pitt and win 1 of 2 from KC/GB and I see us stacking wins all the way up until the Cincinnati game. And I like us in that game too, provided our D-Line is still intact.

Brady /Gisellle hire divorce attorneys

Salma and Liz Hurley are the exceptions to the rule. -
Anybody hear Josh raving about Singletary?
TheBrownBear replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm not a Moss hater, but how has this been his "most promising season?" Outside of his one big run, he's averaging around 2.5 ypc. And his 7 catches have netted a total of 27 yards. That's the definition of stuck in quicksand, aka late career Frank Gore. I thought he flashed at times as a rookie back in 2020 (I'm one who gave him a pass for last season since he was coming off injury), but he just looks bigger and slower to me now than he was back in college and in 2020. Having said all that, I'm still okay with him receiving reps over Cook based on what we've seen from Cook so far. I at least trust Moss not to make negative plays. -
I feel like the Hamlin play has gone a little overlooked. It was a hell of a play not to freeze, but attack LJ and funnel him towards Poyer.

Brady /Gisellle hire divorce attorneys
TheBrownBear replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in Off the Wall
This isn't a political post - just an observation - but I've seen many women/wives (okay, a lot of people regardless of gender) change drastically over the past few years in their behavior and world views. I'm seeing a lot of guys I know getting sort of blindsided by divorces or otherwise walking a very fine line trying to keep their marriages/families intact. It doesn't surprise me one bit that this is happening to Brady. -
Allen is the Bills only short yardage option
TheBrownBear replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
Part of the problem is that Moss runs too upright. Singletary is better in those situations since he can get low and really drive forward with his legs. -
Anybody hear Josh raving about Singletary?
TheBrownBear replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Singletary has crazy wiggle and can make guys miss in tight spaces at a truly elite level. He's one of the rare guys who can actually produce marginally competent numbers behind this line. I just went back and watched Moss's college tape. He had good vision, decent wiggle and really nice power for his size in college. I was a big fan of his when they drafted him, but he just can't seem to ever find a hole in the pros. Not sure if the speed is too much for him at this level, but he doesn't look like the same guy to me. -
Frazier and staff sure as hell know how to coach these guys up. Remember that Hyde and Poyer were seen as JAGs before Frazier and Co. got their hands on them.

Bills once again tops in the league at 4th down decision making
TheBrownBear replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah, it speaks for itself, but I wonder how we fare if you throw out the Miami game. -
Anybody hear Josh raving about Singletary?
TheBrownBear replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Josh said almost the exact same thing about Moss: "I guess I'll try to say a little about what he is, who he is and what he does for this team,” Allen said after his team’s rain-soaked, 23-20 victory against the Baltimore Ravens. “I urge everybody that's watching football, if you're a young kid, if you're in college, whatever, you turn on Zack Moss tape and you watch him, how he plods to the ball, whether he's got it or not. He rarely makes it downfield, so he's not picking guys up like Devin, but he's fairly adequate at chip blocks and pass pro in practice. He's running 1-2 yards, mostly in the backfield, and coming right back and running another 1-2 yards on his next carry. “The dude, all he does is remain stationary and that's why his name is ‘Moss’ and he lives up to the name. I can go on and on about the type of person he is, but you see the tape each week. I just try to endure the moments when the kid is in the game.” -
Yeah, the lack of any word on his status is a bit alarming. Given the complete radio silence, it's hard to imagine we'll see him in the next two weeks. Just hoping we see him on the field at some point this season.

Now is the time we need Cook to start playing well
TheBrownBear replied to Orlando Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was just thinking about how Cook had been training with Devin Singletary the past couple of offseasons, and Devin had good things to say about him. But maybe Devin just talked him up and recommended him to Beane because he knew the kid didn't have what it took to steal his job. 😄 -
3 INTs in one half against the Jets? Let's do our friend, Nathan Peterman, a favor and erase his name from the record books.

I was at that game with my Dad. Really fun game with all of the offense. We really felt unstoppable back then. Good times.
