Preston Brown "There's some weird stuff going on up there."
Avisan replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
People were wrong. Brown was a good MLB, and it's the exact same knock that people made about Poz, which was also wrong. Poz was better than Brown overall, but Brown was a perfectly fine MLB. -
The cap situation McBeane inhereted
Avisan replied to Batman1876's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. And it was proven in 2017 when a gutted Whaley roster was still able to squeak in despite not getting comparable replacement players. The premise of the OP is total nonsense, too. Of course keeping EVERYONE is often too expensive. Few people are asking to have kept everyone. Re-run the numbers sans Gilmore and Goodwin, and all of a sudden we have PLENTY of cap space. If those are the only two we lose, we're in great shape with the cap, have way fewer holes, and have no issues signing everyone we need to sign. Hell, I'll throw Glenn in there, since he had so much trouble staying on the field. All of a sudden we have 70+ cap space to sign 42 players (only 51 count), and since depth/ST players are generally JAGs and late-round picks making close to the vet minimum, we're in fantastic shape. Keeping everyone was a tall task. That doesn't make getting rid of everyone necessary. -
Yeah but we have a new FO so we have to worship all of their moves which means completely purging from our memory the fact that both fan and national consensus pre (and during) Rex was that we were a decent coach away from being a consistent playoff team with our Whaley roster Whaley had flaws and whatever weird power struggles went on within our FO really didn't help things, but people pretending like he didn't build a roster of talented players are straight-up rationalizing to convince themselves that "the process" doesn't have an extremely high chance of being a long-term dumpster fire We're at Dicky J levels of roster talent right now. That took YEARS to fix. Even competent, experienced FOs don't hit on every draft pick and signing. McBeane haven't demonstrated that they are either of those things when it comes to talent acquisition.

NFL Kickoff/TNF: Falcons at Eagles
Avisan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I miss Darby, too. Man. So many former Bills with good performances. Congrats to the Eagles, pulled out an ugly win but a W is a W! Also Matt Ryan... woof. Not living up to that contract there, champ. -

NFL Kickoff/TNF: Falcons at Eagles
Avisan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeesh. This game has been borderline pre-season quality. -
His arm strength is unbelievable. He can flick it 40 yards without even trying. That being said, he might need to rebuild his throwing motion a la Aaron Rodgers. He has a pretty low release point that doesn't allow him to take full advantage of his height, and because his motion is a bit wonky sometimes the ball just seems to... pull a little as he launches it. Overall he looked like an incredible talent that isn't quite ready yet.

Could the new "Helmet Rule" ruin football?
Avisan replied to #34fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Grow up. Crown of the head refers to the top rear, FYI, which is why the other poster was discussing spearing. -
Could the new "Helmet Rule" ruin football?
Avisan replied to #34fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
... Explain to me which part of the human anatomy you think the "crown of the head" describes There's also a major difference between "structured to absorb impact and protect the nerves" and "designed to take the impact of a high-speed, high-mass head collision" -
Could the new "Helmet Rule" ruin football?
Avisan replied to #34fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is 100% wrong. Fully 100%. The head is designed to take minor impacts on the front... and that's about it. The back, tops, and sides of the head have much weaker protection than the front. Beyond that, the muscles and fluid-filled disks aren't designed to take that impact, they are simply the anatomy the body has available to do so and get pressed into service. -
Allen already a factor in QB race ?
Avisan replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, that certainly puts things into perspective. Hope Allen puts it together, but he's got a lot of habits to learn and unlearn before he's ready. -
We lucked in at 9-7 when previous seasons it had been insufficient. I'm happy for last season's berth, but I'm expecting our offense to struggle even more this season.
-
Yeah, definitely scheme. Dude is a baller though, definitely think he could have had a place here. Oh well.

Several of the trades and releases have made us a worse football team overall. Hopefully the shift in scheme fit and culture starts paying off soon, but I doubt we'll be competing for anything this season.
