Should NFL Adopt 3rd Place Game Week Before Super Bowl?
dgrochester55 replied to Dr.Sack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So, lets say that this does happen and Josh Allen gets a torn ACL or achilles injury during the game. Allen is out for part or all of next year, Buffalo is not nearly as competitive with Barkley or Fromm in 2021 and we still got destroyed by the Chiefs and missed out on a super bowl last week. No, 100 percent no. Not worth the risk and do not feel like the players from either losing team would be up for it. I would much rather enjoy 2020's 13-3 season with two playoff wins for what it was and begin the hope for a super bowl next year. -
Brown- should they cut him?
dgrochester55 replied to Aussie Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Brown had a career year in 2019 and was injured most of this year. No reason to cut him unless you have to clear salary cap space. -
Running back and tight end would be nice, but the defensive front seven is by far the biggest priority. No one can consistently rush the qb besides hughes and the linebackers are not good enough against the top teams. An elite pass rusher and a linebacker to can cover the top tight ends are the top two priorities.

I'm heartbroken. Words of comfort?
dgrochester55 replied to Rockee96's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Buffalo has turned around quickly under McDermott, but they have more work to do. If anyone in the summer said the Buffalo with this schedule would be 13-3 and a championship with Allen being in the running for mvp, I would have been very excited. I am in a down mood tonight, but in the long run, i will see this season as a positive and exciting one. The front seven on the defense needs to be addressed. The players who have replaced players such as Lawson, Phillips, Louteuoi did not get it done this year. The front seven needs a player that does for the defense what Diggs did for the offense this year. -
I agree with this. If Watkins had been a late first round or a second round pick, he would have been viewed as a pretty good injury prone receiver who moved on but played well here when he wasn't hurt. The fact that he cost two first round picks in a class that had so many good receivers including three potential hall of famers in Adams, Evans and Beckham will always give him a not fully warranted label as an underachiever.

The End of the Lamar Jackson Era
dgrochester55 replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Now it becomes an interesting question again when asking who the best QB in the 2018 draft class is. Last year it was Jackson without question, now in my opinion, Allen has the stronger case. Still plenty of career left for both, but it is interesting how quickly things can change. -
Williams would be my choice if it was an injury half way thorough the season, but being a playoff game I would go with Yeldon. Less exciting and less upside, but a proven veteran who can pass block and make catches out of the backfield.

The colts fumble that was not called
dgrochester55 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Many people always said during the years of bad ref calls against Buffalo that the good teams can overcome bad officiating. We finally have a team that is good enough to do that. I am much happier about the win than I am mad at the call, but this does need to be looked at further by the league. A playoff team is tough enough to beat on their own. -
Playoff Game Postgame Thread
dgrochester55 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Same here. This had a chance to become part of the hard luck narrative for the bills right alongside wide right and the homerun throwback, but fortunately the defense stepped up. It should have never been allowed to stand and those refs need to be pulled from doing more playoff games. -
Playoff Game Postgame Thread
dgrochester55 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A little of both. Indy was better than many of us gave them credit for, but this was nowhere near the best that Buffalo can do. -
Playoff Game Postgame Thread
dgrochester55 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hopefully that was Buffalo getting their bad week out of the way and returning back to form for the rest of the playoffs. -
Indy reminds me of our team last year where they can pretty much get the job done against the middle and lower tier teams but fall short against the better ones. Their defense is one of the better ones in the NFL, but Buffalo has shredded four good defenses over the last four games. Their offense is a middle of the road one so our defense is more than capable of containing them. Anything is possible in the playoffs, but the only way that I see Buffalo losing this is if they play uncharacteristically bad on both sides of the ball.

Wait Kelvin Benjamin Was Part of '14 draft class?!
dgrochester55 replied to HardyBoy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember watching that game and hearing him say that live. Considering his appearance on that picture and that fact that he was 6'5, I think that 245 pounds was quite a generous estimation of his weight at that moment. -
Bills 34, Niners 24 Game Balls!
dgrochester55 replied to CSBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pretty much everyone besides Wallace and Moss but if I had to narrow it down, I would give it to Allen for having a mistake free game and arguably his best game as a pro. -
Fair enough, but sometimes a high draft pick that does not work out initially needs a change of scenery. Jerry Hughes is an example that comes to mind, he was a 1st round pick who was considered a bust for the Colts before being traded to Buffalo. This is only Baker's second year. Besides the character issue, he is not a bad risk for a low price and no worse of an option that Norman or Worley at this point.
