    Kincaid Chasing Bills History

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    The best thing I can say about him is he catches the ball.  Why we don't throw to him more is crazy.

    I still have PTSD from Kincaid taking those weird frog leaps with the ball and eventually fumbling and losing the Bengals game when the offense had finally got going.

    I loved the move, he is extremely athletic.  I would chalk that up to as a fluke, the defensive player somehow got a good hit on the ball when it was a moving target.

    NFL Coaching Tenure Before Winning 1st Super Bowl

    Two general questions.

     

    1. Is there any first time NFL head coach in history who went to their first SuperBowl after 7 seasons with their first team?

     

    I know Cowher both won and lost with Pittsburg, but Cowher lost a SuperBowl within his first 4-5 years as a head coach and then won one.  McDermott is the longest current tenured coach along with Shanahan that has not won a title with their current team.

     

    2. The posts about Harbaugh, Slownik, Johnson, or Bieniemy being Coach are interesting.

     

    Serious Question: is there a coach out there who you really believe would be available, interested, and capable of taking the Bills to the SuperBowl in the next 3 years?

     

    I ask because I don't see Reid or Tomlin coming here. Sean Payton is new in Denver and also no coach has won a title with two different teams, so McVay and Bellicheat would be out with that historical stat in mind.

     

    Is there a veteran coach out there who would be an upgrade? Otherwise, its McDermott or the less proven.

     

    Curious about insights.

    Do you wonder if the league is fixed?

    Chris Russo had an interesting comment relating to this and the Bills.  His take basically was that the league would be crazy not to want the Bills and Josh in the playoffs so they could showcase on of their superstars.  So you’d think if it was fixed it would be to the bills benefit.

    If it were fixed, who is in the playoffs wouldn't matter, who wins week to week would.

    Always go for it in OT

    As soon as we kicked the FG, the game was over. Never once has our D made the game ending stop. If it has, I can’t recall when. 
     

    We have better chance to win going for it on 4th and 10 on our own end of the field, hoping for a walk off TD drive than we would letting our D ever take the field needing a stop.

    We all would have been criticizing him if he went for it and missed it.  I think the lack of going for it at the end of regulation though was inexcusable

    Game Ball: Shawn Hochuli

    Dude literally had a front row seat on that horse collar tackle and still didn’t throw the flag.  But hey, let’s give them an intentional grounding penalty. 

    It's silly when they don't call it and he literally rips the jersey on the front (which I believe front is still a horsecollar) and pulls the back and swings him around.  I thought we were protecting the QB?  Intentional grounding, the timeout penalty and the Slay grab.  Even the final play of the game both Guards moved early.  Honestly I think the Kelce false starts were a couple makeup calls to make it look less lopsided.   If Hochuli gets a playoff game after this debacle I will know the NFL is not on the up and up.

    McDermott fired yet?

    I'm not on that train yet because he adds so much quality to this organization.  The major (non-emotional response) issue I see is he has to figure out the close games.  He at worst has us in every game till the last drive.  It's the offense can't make one more throw or the defense can't make one more stop that is the downfall of the 6-6 team.  BTW we would have been ecstatic to be .500 this late in the season before McDermott so he definitely has raised the bar.

    Has Tyrel Dodson really showed that much improvement? Currently PFF's only 90+ backer.

    Dodson's looked excellent to me on occasion, and the occasions keep increasing.   He still is out of position some of the time, but he's learning.  That was a huge hole, and he's filling nicely. 

    I think back to the end of the summer, when the consensus here was that the Bills had no one at middle linebacker.  People here talked about Bernard and Dodson like two guys who had no business in the NFL.  My conclusion is that McDermott and Beane knew something about those guys that most of us didn't.  That's why they were on the roster, and that's why Beane didn't go after anyone else.  

     

    Both guys still need more time on the field, and as someone said, Williams isn't embarrassing himself out there, either.  All three are growing into solid contributors.  

     

    Gotta give Beane and McDermott credit.  

     

     

    I think guys like that need to be given a chance to figure it out on Sundays.  Generally that's not an option when you have a perennial playoff team but it looks like the talent for the most part is there.

    Fixing the Officiating

    It’s obviously a 2 part scenario brother. That’s why I wrote 1 AND 2…not 1 OR 2 lol

     

    That’d be like someone saying to pop this popcorn there’s 2 thing you need to do: 

     

    1. Put in microwave

    2.  Set cook timer for 2 minutes and hit start

     

    and then complaining because they have no popcorn after only doing step one.

     

    I'm sorry I'm sick of the argument that full time officials solve the problem.  Thats like saying to the person that made your drink all wrong at starbucks hey you're only part time so we can't possibly expect you to do your job.

    I’ll get more into the weeds later because I’m at work but the officiating is a HUGE problem and has been. Here are a couple quick fixes the NFL needs to do:

     

    1. make the NFL refs a full time gig and let them get paid a lot of money 

    2. make refs accountable for their mistakes with suspensions and eventual firings

     

    NFL has deep pockets and should’ve done something to pay the good refs rightfully years ago. By doing 1 and 2 on my list there will be so many more potentially great applicants to become refs in the future and we won’t have the “boys club” we have now that doesn’t feel the pressure to make a good call or else.  This may not fix everything but I guarantee it’ll help out a lot 

    This solves absolutely none of the issues with refs other than pay

    The thing that bothered me most of the offense before this week was Gabe Davis.  His skills didn't see to disappear as much as he always seemed to be in the wrong position.  For example the random Intentional grounding from a couple of games ago.  I would even say the INT that went through his hands he didn't seem to be where he needed.  Do you believe that's on Josh, Gabe or Dorsey?  I don't remember him having this same issue two years ago.
