As if the new Brandt hype vid isn’t enough...

Jay, thanks for sharing. As if I didn’t need any other stimulation to cause a stroke. I think my BP will be 182/110 by game time. -
The running game has to be there vs KC this week.
machine gun kelly replied to Toyo321's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
ED, that’s different so ok on the short passing game as the WGR guys have even said that became a much bigger part of their game after the Chiefs. What you’re suggesting is similar to the Pats did as their run game in short passing. What I don’t see happening is the first game with the Pats game, a different reference. The winds were so high we went heavy run sets with motor and Moss. It worked, but slowed down our offense. what you’re suggesting I think we just had our wires crossed as I get that all day. That’s a fine plan and expect to see a lot of the short stuff, but then keeping them honest on our 4 wide sets. -
Tre plays both man to man and zone depending what is asked of him by the coaches. He’s shadowed guys, but when it’s a zone call, he plays his area. I don’t think you’re being critical of him, just great CB’s where I agree are not robots. Every excellent player on a team makes a mistake every once in awhile. Remember how both Stevie Johnson and Sammy at times could burn Daryl Revis when he was in his prime.

Emotional, I remember SDS said in a previous post on another thread he was thinking of having one thread where every talking heads take is in one thread. I love the idea. Close them down as soon as they open for all the one offs. I don’t mind guys putting good or bad takes on the Bills to light, but how about we don’t have 47 threads for every yahoo who says this or that. Please title it Talking Heads. I hope it’s a mod who starts it so everyone can have a nice forum and keep together. If we win tomorrow, there will be over 100 different pundits giving their hot takes. It actually would be fun. Yolo, you have the juice, as Picard used to say.

I guess we are at an impasse. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, yes, MORONS. what was that guy talking about with Tre and a bad year. When we played them in week 6 which kind of means nothing as we were both two different teams, but Tre was still not at 100% with his neck/back. He played, but Kelse didn’t burn him all day. Sometimes NFLN is as bad as the other four letter word, yes, ESPN.

I didn’t either. We may have different outlets, but I saw a lot of love for the Ravens. It doesn’t matter to me, and the other stuff wasn’t we’re being disrespected as I could care less, but we also didn’t have the absolute toughest path either. We are Ed everything we’ve accomplished. I’m sticking with 60/40 we win tomorrow and could care less if every talking head picks the Chiefs. At some point if/when we win, we’ll see if more people go for us over the NFC winner. Right now Id rather face GB on,y for the reason we can stand toe to toe offensively, but the Bucs have the better defense than the Packs. All good GB.

There’s a lot of variables in play. Conventional wisdom is the Jets. They now have a decent coach and probably the patience to develop him. The Dolphins is a possibility, but we only know what we saw, vs. how their staff evaluated his progress. I wouldn’t rule it out to push Tua. The Pats may, but they have a lot of cap space now so if Watson was allowed a trade (and I still suspect they won’t as that is suicide for Houston), then the Jets and Pats are towards the top in space at $64 and $55 respectively for the Jets and Pats. That would definitely be a Belichick move if he could pull it off. My reasoning for Miami not getting as heavily into the race is they are farther down in space at $25.8 mil., but they have tons of draft capital and they could package Tua for it. That seems far fetched, but anything is possible. Youre question was first so the Jets. I wouldn’t be surprised though if all three teams draft one early.

GB, I agree the Bills have been a fan favorite for awhile, but several pundits have picked against them on several shows. They say positives about the Bills, but only half at best of NFLR picked the Bills/Colts. Almost no one picked the Bills over the Ravens, and I have yet to hear anyone pick the Bills over the Chiefs. It doesn’t matter as long as we keep winning. As far as the hardest path, read the e v a l. of SOS of the 2020 season, after the season. Bottom line is our opponents ranked us 16th in terms of path to get into the playoffs. Based on 2019 which shows how little these things matter it was projected we had the 5th toughest SOS. In the end based on how they played in 2020, we didn’t necessarily have the toughest road, nor the easiest. By one of the betting lines the following playoff teams had an easier path. Note I was having difficulties copying the link - my fault. In addition, this is just one betting line group and the others I noticed were all relatively similar, so again just take it as a reference point, not gospel. Honestly, I thought in the beginning of the year our schedule was going to be very tough. Whether it’s our improvements or the opposing teams were not as good as we thought, or they had key injuries, it really doesn’t matter. So I was in the club get 10-11 wins in this hard schedule, and we get in the dance. Well, our path wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought either. Rams 7th Redskins 8th Saints 9th Bills 16th Packers 17th Seahawks 20th Bucs 23rd Steelers 24th Chiefs 25th Ravens 27th Bears 29th Browns 30th Titans 31st Colts 32nd Next year we get the NFCS, and AFCS + the Chiefs and Steelers again. This again will come out repeated stories due opposing the Bucs, Saints, Titans, Colts, Chiefs, and Steelers, we have a tough schedule not to mention the stories the Dolphins are ascending as I can see that one. I’m going to reread this later in the spring before I get worked up we have the x hardest schedule. If posted after May so free agency, trades, and the draft are over and maybe after UDFA’s are signed, we’ll get some handle, but again things change. Everyone thought the Pats as it was reported at nauseum were potentially going to win the East. How could anyone foresee the 49ers having all of those injuries? If I forget to read this post, please knock me over the head with it as a fellow TBD poster and for many of you, friends. For me this year, the 4 best teams are in the championship games, and all of them belong there. I do think we have a fair and winning chance to win it all, and as much as I relish the thought, our season could easily be over tomorrow night. That’s what makes it fun as we are playing the absolute best at this point. We can hold our heads high if we keep winning, amd even if we lose a close game. One thing is for sure, I will not accept the notion any of these teams will blow us out. Sorry, after I posted, you guys can tease me I was too long winded. Whoops.

The closer we get to this game, I’m in agreement. Could be an overtime Bassomatic kick that puts us in the SB. Sal and the guys said yesterday morning said it would be 34-40 degrees a little rainy and only 10 mph winds. The rain or temp. Isn’t an issue, but 10 mph winds was the key as 30-40 mph winds would affect any QB. Allen and Mahomes arm strength wouldn’t matter.

Well, hopefully he employs his brother’s antiquated and too complicated defense in part so we don’t have to worry about seeing them again in the playoffs. This is really not a Harbaugh like move. He’s normally smarter than this one.

Way to go Juice. Have you bought the onzy for the little one? Need to break in the kid now. Very happy for you.

The running game has to be there vs KC this week.
machine gun kelly replied to Toyo321's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LA, agreed. We’re not going to change everything for one game, and we’re not going to play keep away from Mahomes. That’s like a prevent defense. It doesn’t work. Consider the defenses we beat this year. The Rams #1, Steelers #3, 49ers #5, Ravens #7, Colts #8, Chargers #10, and the only loss is to the Cardinals #13 (and was a fluke as we drive down to win, but that crazy Hail Mary). We are #14, and the Chiefs are #16. We've scored more points on offense than the Chiefs and had a stronger SOS than the Chiefs faced this year. From the data point, we should be favored, but it’s the Chiefs. They were going to be favored no matter what as the SB Champs. If any team can beat them it’s us. -
Josh McCown for HC possibly in Houston
machine gun kelly replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s hard for me to believe this could be serious. I don’t know. If really is a valid inquiry, wow, Deshaun may be into something. Probably not though. Even if the jokes no one wants to go there, another experienced coach would take on the challenge. -
Patrick Mahomes has cleared concussion protocol
machine gun kelly replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m unclear why this is a surprise. They get a baseline concussion e v a l. Before the year. If a person has a sudden cut off of blood flow or compensated blood flow from one carotid to the other and pinched nerve, it’s very plausible they would look confused, dizzy, and had a gait issue. Once resolved, they would return to normal function. Inigo mentioned in another thread and was right the toe is the bigger issue. I’m not sure if it’s turf toe or another issue, but that can affect his throwing motion, scrambling ability, and although fixable in time, would impede him to a degree Sunday. There is only so much medication you can give to help that problem. It doesn’t matter. It would’ve been a win with an asterick if he didn’t play. We are good enough to beat these guys. The media acts like they are unbeatable. That’s just not true. -
Wall Street Journal article on Diggs (and Allen)
machine gun kelly replied to bigK14094's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It opened bigk so thanks bud. -
Beasely although was a full participant Wed., was back to limited duty TR. I’m guessing they are just being cautious and Davis may be fine by Sunday. The Chiefs can’t double cover everyone. Between Diggs, Brown, Beasely, Davis and McKenzie, we should be fine against a Chiefs team that was 15th against the pass, and 21st against the rush. Im not saying it’s a lock to win, but I believe we have a 60% of beating them. We’ll find out Sunday.

Justin Zimmer...unsung defensive hero?
machine gun kelly replied to umangatan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He’s a decent role player. Not everyone is a star, but you need unsung heroes to round out a championship team. -
Breer: How the Bills Were Built
machine gun kelly replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s surprising this interesting read about the evolution of the Bills with Beane and implied McD how they constructed a team, and the takeaway is Beane doesn’t draft well. I looked at the 2017 drafts through 2020, and looked who is a contributor for us or another team like Teller. McD and Beane (added McD as he ran 2017) and my benchmark was Bill Polian. He has stated many times on air he tallied his drafts for his career and self reported he was 57% accurate at drafting contributors to his teams or later on another team. Now he is in the HOF, and similar statements over the years have been made by Ron Wolf, and Gil Brandt. The point wasn’t the %, but simply that it’s not practical to think a really high hit rate is attainable like 75-80%. It just doesn’t happen, and furthermore they will say it’s about all of it meaning fair value in free agency, trades, finding gems in UDFA’s. Polian has further said taking these very high priced free agents doesn’t necessarily work to build a team. An example of a trade I don’t hear anyone complaining about is Diggs, or acquisitions for Poyer and Hyde. If you start looking at these guys, an argument can be made they have made very wise decisions. White Milano Dawkins Teller even though not on our team Allen Edmunds H. Phillips T. Johnson Neal Oliver Ford (jury is still out on him) Singletary Knox D. Johnson Sweeney (may still be a contributor, but has been hurt all year) Epenesa (growing in skills his rookie year) Moss Davis Fromm (we’ll never know as he is in witness protection this year, but is insurance) Bassomatic Dane Jackson (he has real promise) Now there have definitely been several misses like Peterman and so on, but that doesn’t mean McBeane haven’t drafted well. There are several examples of late round steals like Milano, Dane Jackson, G. Davis, and Taron Johnson. My personal opinion is we have drafted well, have made many choices in FA that have worked, trades, and so on. They built a team in four years that has manageable cap space, good team guys, made the playoffs three of four years, is going to the Championship game, and sustainable. This was a very interesting read Coach so thank you, and provided a lot of insight into the evolution of the team. I too have been frustrated with some misses, but then I’ve seen a number of players develop in time. It’s more about perspective and expectations. I haven’t been this excited about a Bills team, how it was constructed, and developed for sustainability growth over a long period of time. Polian, the architect of our glory years seems to be unfolding again here with this Mgmt and coaching.
