Can someone explain the Tyler Kroft love to me?
BurpleBull replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I misstated what I actually watched on Kroft to form my opinion on him when we first signed him; they were actually samples of team highlights that involved him, which gave me an idea of the type of player we were getting: a player with good hands and some quickness. By a bit more wide open, I mean by resembling offenses who aggressively look to carve up the opposition through the air (ex., Saints, Chiefs, Buccaneers), versus passing a bunch with the intent of getting your young QB in a rhythm and throwing with confidence, while failing to establish overall balance and rhythm on offense in the process; I think there are a bit of passing plays in the Bills' playbook that lack big-play potential simply because of the sets used. -

BurpleBull replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I imagined the guy in Misery breaking his own ankles when I read this. I actually liked what I saw from Kroft in his highlights, I get the feeling he would be a lot more productive in an offense that was a bit more wide open. -
Cowboys hire Mike McCarthy as Head Coach
BurpleBull replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jason Garrett to Mike McCarthy: "What are you doing here?". -
DEAD BALL RULE --- RULE 7, SECTION 2, ARTICLE 1 OF THE NFL RULEBOOK AN OFFICIAL SHALL DECLARE THE BALL DEAD AND THE DOWN ENDED WHEN A RUNNER DECLARES HIMSELF DOWN BY: FALLING TO THE GROUND, OR KNEELING, AND CLEARLY MAKING NO IMMEDIATE EFFORT TO ADVANCE If that's Andre Roberts making the mistake the refs would have given the nation something to laugh at by allowing the rulebook to dictate the play, and who would be able to argue against them? Sad part is that you have Bills fans' agreeing that the Houston returner should not have been penalized for not giving himself as the rulebook requires, much like they agree with the crackback/blindside block called against Cody Ford that took the Bills out of field goal range in OT. Smh Just calling it by the books, right?

Tre White Officially Named AP All-Pro
BurpleBull replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yay Tre!!! -
If Daboll were to ever be let go, the one thing that I think he'd have to get props for, is being instrumental in getting Allen to cut back on his reckless habits, by grilling him after a boneheaded play.

Should The Bills Bench Alexander?
BurpleBull replied to Dr.Sack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mentioning a Lorenzo Alexander benching in the same breath as the Flutie benching just sounds wrong on so many levels. Lol Neither Stanford nor Thompson are unknown commodities---they're backup material---for your scenario to even come close to being reminiscent of the Flutie benching, I think Vosean Joseph would have to be that younger, mystery player named starter over Lorenzo Alexander at the last second, but he's been on I-R for much of the season. -
Later in the game when Ed Oliver chased him down from behind, stopping him from reaching the end zone on a scramble, Brady mini-spazzed as if Oliver had no right to be so physical with him. I've always like Brady as a QB, but after yesterday's game seeing him throw a block at Tre D's leg, then act like a petulant child in the aforementioned play, try to trip Oliver, and not get flagged for clear intentional grounding, I'm at the point where I want to see him take a full-force, solid shot from the blindside, preferrably by a Bills' defender.

If you could swap QBs with any team right now
BurpleBull replied to Max Fischer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Honestly, nobody. I prefer keeping and witnessing the growth of our own homegrown. -
I do wish he was a more forceful tackler, but I also worry that his value at LB could take a hit if moved outside. He definitely affects the middle of the field versus the pass and he is decent to good against the run right now, so I'd hold off on a move switch at this stage. I'm hopeful that he'll gain more consistency and assertiveness against the run as time goes by.
-
I wish Edmunds was a thumper of a LB'er but he's only a slightly above average wrap-up tackler at the moment, and that issue is compounded by a lack of consistency. Hopefully he understands that to be more impactful in his role of leader of the defense, he has to be a lot more consistent with his tackling. I thought Edmunds played and looked soft yesterday to be very honest...at least on certain plays.

2017 revisited...McDermott or ALynn for HC??
BurpleBull replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's precisely what I was trying to convey. Hopefully this clears it up and we aren't entering Round 5, or whatever round we'd be entering on that matter. Lol -
2017 revisited...McDermott or ALynn for HC??
BurpleBull replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I already suggested that there should've been a receptiveness to any coaching candidate after the Rex Ryan ordeal, including lesser mentioned candidates like McDermott. If anything I'd be mocking those fans (now using McDermott's success to mock Anthony Lynn) for mocking McDermott, by using bigger named candidates like Shanahan and McDaniels, to brush aside McDermott as if certain that he'd go on to achieve nothing...not their preferred candidate.
