    If Frazier returns, how much will your enthusism die?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I'm far from being Frazier's biggest fan and truth be told, I'm more in the "get rid of him" camp than I am the "keep him" camp.

     

    That said, it's important to remember that the Bills defense didn't play one snap at 100% full strength.  Tre was out until Thanksgiving.  By then, Hyde had been gone for weeks and they also lost Von the same game they got Tre back.

     

    Not to mention injuries keeping Poyer, Oliver, Edmunds and Rousseau out of games.  I'm sure there's others I'm missing, too.

     

    Even with all of those pieces missing, the Bills were still pretty good on defense most games.

     

    Again, if I was making the call, I'd probably let Frazier go (or, simply not renew if his contract is up).  But, at the same time, I'm not gonna be too devastated if he's back.  That said, I'm hoping to see more aggression, especially in the secondary.

    Sean McDermott vs Sean Payton

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Personally, I don't see what is so great about Payton.  Yes, he's won A (single) Super Bowl, but he's also lost in 2 NFC Championship games, lost in the Divisional round 4 times and lost in the Wild Card round twice.  On top of that, he's had 5 seasons finishing at .500 or below.

     

    Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that no head coach in NFL history has won a Super Bowl with two different teams.  Could Payton be the first?  Sure.  But, I certainly wouldn't be giving up first round draft picks for the guy.

     

    I can only speak for me, but I'm not ready to give up on McDermott yet.  That said, something has to change on defense.  The "bend but don't break" simply doesn't get it done in the postseason.  From what I understand, Frazier's contract expires, so you don't even have to "fire" him, just don't renew and get someone in here that attacks on defense.  If McDermott is unable or unwilling to make adjustments, then he may be the next one that needs to be shown the door.

    Seems like that would have been pretty hard to do when this is the first time there has ever been a MNF playoff game.

     

    They played Sunday last year. Then played TB Sunday the week after. A normal week.

    I'm kinda irritated how the winner of this game is getting absolutely hosed by the NFL, playing in SF on a short week after SF gets an extra rest day while being at home.

     

    Total screw over by the NFL.

     

    What's the point of making things "fair" with start times in week 18 if you are just going to screw a team over in the playoffs?

    In fairness, the Rams played in the MNF playoff game last year and had to travel cross country to play in Tampa the following Sunday.  Seemed to work out OK for them.

     

    That said, I don't think there should be playoff games on Monday Night.  But, I also don't see it changing anytime soon.

    Play Clock Solution / Delay of Game

    00.00.99.  Clock will say zero but still .99 tenths of second before it all zeros out.  Weird but that’s the explanation i heard on a podcast a while back from an ex ref

    Yet, the game is over the instant the clock hits 0:00 in the 4th quarter.

     

    Otherwise, the Bills may have had a shot at a spike to stop the clock in week 3.

     

    Maybe that's why Dorsey was pissed.  He expected the Bills to get that extra 99/100ths of a second.

    I saw the same thing in a recent game, coach calls a TO to ice the kicker, ref runs out in front of the holder to make sure the "practice" kick can't get off.  Have never seen that in prior years.  Not sure it matters much really.

    I've always equated it to where a pitcher in baseball follows through with a pitch, even if the umpire calls time before the pitch is thrown.  As I understand it, it's a momentum thing and to stop may cause an injury, whereas simply following through with the pitch (or kick), even if it won't count, is the safer option.
