Golden*Wheels

I was walking around the house yesterday AM and heard the kid humming some random tune with the lyrics under his breath "squish the fish, squish the fish".

I can't get into mechanics etc, but how does Darnold scramble out of bounds and take a sack on Sunday and not get rid of the ball? How do you take a delay of game coming out of a TV timeout? Why bother doing 31 flavors when you can't get vanilla right? I don't pretend to be able to see anything but AWFUL footwork, or recognize anything but the worst "bad habits"....but I know taking a sack you don't need to, or taking the dumbest of dumb penalties, isn't something you want or expect a 3rd year guy to be doing. Maybe he's just....completely lost and ruined at this point?

I dunno about cinch but it'd be a big help for sure!

hate that we allowed them any momentum they are going to go to Bell again a lot in second half.

Let's go Bills!!!!

Seems like a tryhard pick. I get the league changes every year....but come on.

Part of me is still kind of in shock that there will be football. It all feels really mirage-ish still.

hey...all right.

No responding for a friend

Did said marketing department have anything to do with the Toronto games? ANYTHING? If so, I can get on board with this.

We've come a long way since Marshawn.

I was gonna say....if there is ANY stadium/team that gets to have fans whereas we don't, I'd choose Miami. Always tons of Bills fans there. God they must LOVE that!

Oh no I'm not going there. That's old Wheels. I don't start trouble just because any more.

You'd have to ask the guys who run the board. It is not a decision I made.

A group started by three strong females, at least two of whom admitted to be trained marxists (always big fans of the traditional family unit), and one who identifies as *****, don't need no man? Shocking! *those five asterisks are the exact term Ms. Cullors used to describe her sexuality. How....odd....that word is censored.

I mean I know he likely WILL hear it...but just because he wouldn't hit a woman doesn't mean he won't tell another player to come meet him by the bus.

I mean, it ain't a slogan, but it's the only piece of poetry that ever stuck with me: “Fight on my men, Sir Andrew said I am hurt, but I am not slain; I'll lay me down and bleed a-while, And then I'll rise and fight again.” Life is kind of like being a Buffalo Bills fan right? It might crap all over you sometimes. But you have to get up and keep going. Maybe you'll make your goal, maybe you won't. But you have to keep trying.

Most people nowadays don't even know who Buffalo Bill is.

Jersey people. That is all.

OK, i gotcha. I just didn't like potentially getting lumped in with Josh Haters....I'm not one! But I do agree with them on the lateral. Don't they really practice laterals....specifically for last ditch plays though? That's the stuff you do at the END of practice you almost NEVER expect to need isn't it?

On another note, as a QB, I am 100% willing to live with him forcing the ball in with his arm where he maybe it shouldn't be. That to me is the right kind of risk you have to take as a QB.

Why would I hate the next dozen years? I don't expect Josh to lateral like that often and there is absolutely no reason to expect him to. An improvised play that was nearly a disaster is incredibly unlikely to get added to the playbook. Kind of the opposite. You seem to assume a lot about people you don't know. I'm not Anti-Josh, and I wouldn't think a lateral was a smart play simply because it worked, so no, no poster "hanging on my living room wall". Sheesh man. There's no hidden agenda here. Laterals are stupid, risky plays IMO. They fall into almost any other trick/exotic play category IMO....looks great when it works, "WOW! HIGHLIGHT REEL! AWESOME!" and looks idiotic the other 98% of the time it blows up in your face. It's exactly why even though there are HIGHLIGHTS of great lateral plays, they are without a doubt the exception to the rule, and you can go weeks and weeks and months and months in any given NFL season without seeing one, barring last second desperation plays. Because no coach worth his salt wants his QB treating the ball like an impromptu hot potato (especially in a playoff game). If you feel like responding, that's wonderful. Just try to stick to the point, and please save the assumptions about my motives for somebody else. I think laterals are stupid. That's my point. We could talk about designing an offense around laterals/extending plays and lots of other things. But for crissakes, the point is the lateral itself, not who was doing it. Josh is MY QB, so I want him to grow out of it...it's not something I am trying to pillory him for.

Anti-Josh gang? I'm not one of those, but they are right. Laterals (short the have to end of game plays) are totally stupid and risky. This isn't some big conspiracy or part of any grander theory. Hold onto the ball, don't do stupid *****. Simple. It was a dumb play he shouldn't repeat.

I winced watching that dude getting hit by the statue. Oof.

What do you mean? he was good. Then he was bad. Then he was good again. Then bad. Then he got worse. Then he got good again. Then we he was bad. And that was all one game.
