BUF-HOU Playoff Redux: 2nd Half Kickoff
sven233 replied to GoBills808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was a TD. It has been confirmed by multiple people both in the league and not that it should have been ruled a TD. The same exact play happened in Clemson and it was correctly ruled a TD. There is no debate about this play anymore. We got screwed. Was he giving himself up? Yes. Did he do it by the letter of the rule? No. Plain and simple. But multiple officials have stated it should have been ruled a TD regardless of how stupid it would have been. -
Front Office Poll of WR Prospect Tiers (ESPN Insider)
sven233 replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am really hoping the Bills come out of the draft with 2 of the guys on this list. So much talent. Now's the time to double down and try and solidify the WR position for years to come. If it's me, I'm taking a WR with 2 of my first 3 or 4 picks depending on how things fall and am really happy with things. -
Until he actually hits the field and we can see where he is physically and mentally, it's hard to project him. If he shows up ready to go and has a good handle on the playbook, I do think he can compete for a backup role out of the gate, probably play some special teams, and then we'll see from there. But, as of now, we have no clue what he is at the NFL level because we don't know where he is physically (or mentally).

This has been a pretty entertaining game! Hoping for a good finish!

Very true, but most NBA and NHL games do a 1.0 or slightly less. This is about creating enough of a demand to get a rights fees deal in the next couple years. A 1.5 average would be solid for them. Have to wait and see what happens. Holding out hope that they can make it. I can't watch every game, but I like to know that I have some football to watch if I do have the time.

Despite the dip, those are still pretty good numbers. As long as they can consistently do a 1.5 or better, they will be in great shape. We'll find out in a few weeks if that is going to be a possibility.

XFL Opening Weekend, Matchups and where to watch.
sven233 replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they can come in at a 2.5 next week and stay hovering over a 1.5 each game for the entire season, that will be a huge success. Great start and the games did nothing to make me not want to tune in next week. They did a lot of good things. -
Well deserved.... I believe he has become a better coach each year he has been here. Seems to learn from things and is making better decisions in his 4th down management. Still has to work on his clock management and challenges, but there is rarely a week the team isn't prepared and doesn't give their best effort. I think he gets the most out of the talent he has to work with and I'm really hoping he coaches more talented players next season. Hope he wins.

The eyeball test says he was a pretty good pass rusher, but while he did make a lot of plays on his own, some of the sack production he had was the direct result of someone else pushing the play and Phillips finishing it up. Also, in my opinion, for someone his size, he was pretty bad against the run. I know it's not a popular opinion around here, but I am not re-signing him for anything more than 7.5 at the very most. I think he is a 6-7 million dollar player. I think there may be a team or 2 that looks at the sack numbers and overpays him. I don't want to be that team, especially with Horrible Harry coming back. He was our best lineman when he was playing early.

So whatever will happen to "Right Josh" Rosen?
sven233 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not that he has been great while getting a chance to start, but he's gotten a pretty raw deal if you ask me. Two terrible organizations with absolutely no chance of winning with a young QB. I'm not sure what will end up happening to him, but I do hope that he ends up in a good situation on a good team where he can backup for a couple years while working on his craft. All that said, while it is still way too early to tell, there is a good chance we're the ones that ended up with the "right Josh", but we'll have to see how it plays out.- 163 replies

National Championship Game. Tigers vs Tigers
sven233 replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What an awful call.... That's a TD all day. -
HA HA HA HA!!!!
-
HOLY CRAP!!!!
-
Again..... How in the blue hell did we lose to this team? So awful.
-
They're kicking it???? How in the blue hell did we lose to this team?
-
Stunning.... And this is just raising my blood pressure even more having to watch this. We're better than Houston and nobody can convince me otherwise. Just maddening.
-
Problem is we can't score. A good day against the Chiefs would have been to hold them to 24 or so. We don't score that much. If nothing else, these games have all proven that you need WRs that make plays for your QB. We just don't have those guys right now. We have the complimentary pieces, just not THE piece.
-
I know we would have been heavy underdogs, but man.....we should be playing for a chance to host the AFC Championship game tomorrow. I don't think we would have beaten the Chiefs, but I would have liked to have had the opportunity to do so. So frustrating.

Divisional Round: Vikings @ 49ers
sven233 replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Man.... It's only the first game of the Divisional Round, the NFC at that, and I am just so frustrated we aren't playing tomorrow. Just when I think I can let last week go, things just keep coming back. We are a better team than Houston and that game was ours. So frustrating. Just hoping to be able to enjoy these games this weekend. -
Jets QB Sam Darnold had surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb to repair a ligament, a source confirmed. It's a minor procedure and won't cause him to miss any time in the offseason. It happened in the Week 8 loss to the Jaguars and it affected his ballhandling at times. At the end of the season, Darnold said he didn't think surgery was necessary, pending further tests. The NY Post first reported the surgery. Rich Cimini, ESPN Staff Writer7m ago So, was this on the Jets' injury report? Will they be investigated? Just curious.
-
Yeah....I'm sure the Bills are the only team that didn't report an injury on the report this year. This is so stupid. Next year, the Bills should just list everyone as questionable every week with bumps and bruises and state that every player on the team was limited in practice and see how that goes over. That should cover everything.
-
A pipe dream probably, but exactly what the defense needs. Defense needs a DE, LB, and a legit 2nd CB in the worst way. Offense needs 2 OL, 2 WRs better than what we have now, and a backup RB that can still make plays when Motor is not in the game.

Allen out-playing other playoff QBs
sven233 replied to wiseman3's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Look, I am not the biggest Allen supporter by any means, but man.....I think he's kind of getting some unfair criticism. He was nearly as good as it gets in the first half yesterday. Did he come unraveveled in the 2nd half a bit? Yes he did. He made some poor decisions and had some brutal plays that no NFL QB should ever make. But you know what else he did? He made a couple of absolutely WOW plays that maybe no other NFL QB could make. He has a LONG way to go to establish himself as a franchise QB, but what he did yesterday in his first career playoff start, in his 2nd year in the NFL was ok. Lots of highs and lows. He's 23 years old. A kid with the weight of his team and a city that cares like no other on his shoulders and he laid it all on the line yesterday, and all season for that matter. He took a great step forward this year and, if he works hard this offeseason, and makes the same size step forward that he did this year, we might be looking at a top 10 QB in the league next year. He needs to manage his emotions better. He needs to make better decisions. He needs to make better throws at times. He has to be better on the deep balls. And he needs more talent around him to help him do those things. Don't kid yourself.....this was not a complete team yet. The offense still needs a lot more high end talent on it. The offense does not have 1 legitimate star on it as of right now. So yeah....he had terrible moments yesterday, but he also put the team in a position to have a chance to win, and probably should have. But if you can't see the steps he has taken this year, I don't know what to tell you. But let's wait 1 more year to see if he makes that leap forward before running him out of here. He has his moments where he may look like it, but he's not the same QB that he was at Wyoming. He's come a long way from where he was a couple years ago and hopefully, for all of our sakes, he takes that next big step next season.- 131 replies

Still pretty frustrated about yesterday. Maybe even more so today watching some of it back and seeing just how many chances we had. And, on top of it all, I have to get even angrier about the TD that the refs took away from us at the start of the 3rd Quarter. Common sense means nothing in this game. You play by the letter of the rule book, and BY RULE, that was a TD. It was a TD yesterday and it's a TD today no matter how stupid it would have been. The head ref got it right originally and, for whatever reason, was convinced to making the WRONG call. Game would have been over right there. All this on top of a phantom "blindside block" and a blatant missed helmet to helmet that would have set the Bills up to win. Yeah, we had our chances to win the game ourselves, but this is so frustrating not getting ready to play the Chiefs right now.
