Bills vs Browns last year
gobills1212 replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know its tough, but DONT PICK THE SCAB!!! -
Just take a min and find something on ebay thats legit and then change the name. DHGate is full of different vendors supplying product for a generic picture. Even the 300 jerseys can be found for a third by hunting a little. Dont forget, these knockoffs of the 94 teams that look so terrible look different because up until 2001 Bills jerseys were screen printed, not sewn. Knockoffs fall apart after a dry clean, and you shouldnt wash your jersey anyway so we wont even discuss how terrible they look after. Knockoffs, while have come a long way, still stick out like sore thumbs because their numbers are poofy, letters are way too big and thick, word mark is a weird font, and the material just looks incorrect. And thats IF you manage to get the right shade of blue, one that doesnt have black instead of navy blue, non patriots number font, and the name spelled correctly. The gist is, you get what you pay for. If you want to wear something to the game thats almost the right colors and spill mustard on it - then i guess you at least have an argument. Some people just dont care, and thats the best argument for knockoffs imo. People complain about the $100 nike game jersey cut. If you go to NFL.com you can get what they call a ProLine jersey thats identical to the old reebok jersey cut and it can be customized as well. This jersey is cheaper than the nike and looks better than knockoffs. Granted, i care way more than most BUT i dont want to walk around wearing something most people can tell I paid 40 bucks for that looks CLOSE to how it should.

A Compilation of Some of Josh's Bad? Throws
gobills1212 replied to JESSEFEFFER's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Which, goes right into the 2nd part of my point. If thats the cost, thats cool w me. We all want consistency but w a boom or bust player, as long as its on the boom side it is what it is -
A Compilation of Some of Josh's Bad? Throws
gobills1212 replied to JESSEFEFFER's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I dunno, i think theres a such this as being overly sensitive. This might be that instance. Sure, these were some terrible throws. Some might have been better off not caught. Some may have bordered on throwaway, ie, ill put it out of reach and if my guy happens to catch it hes the only one i want w a sniff at it. Others just too quick - bad throw. That said, you can put a reel like this together from most qbs. Secondly, if we have to deal w the occasional blip to get the crazy game breaking plays... im good w that. Its only when its reverses that it becomes an issue. -
Both are pretty bad imo. Hopefully the Rams are decent. I know the word mark has gotten some hate - but imo the jerseys are what matters. These are two fails. Im not sure which i dislike more. Both are faulty bc both teams had a great oppertunity to (although both claim they did) draw from the past to come up with something both aesthetically pleasing and classic. The bucs claim they went throwback, but is going back to something that was abandoned in 2013 really throwback? Its essentially how the sabres went old school after the slug. They went to a redesigned look of the old design but with some tewaks. These tweaks are essentially the difference in Nikes ability to replicate what Adidas once designed. The silver color of the pants for example is now longer possible to make by nike, so we get a dark smoke grey rather than shiny pewter. The sabres added under arm piping to fit with the reebok edge bc the jersey fit had changed from the ccm days. Football jerseys have changed shape as well, so this was essentially an update with the tweek of the pole on the ship being behind the sail rather than the front. Now, the falcons?! YUCK. 1st off, with the drop shadow on the numbers?? This has been done ONCE well. Thats the 9ers 94 and now current throwbacks. Anything else looks very 90s and dated. Their previous current kit was dated in this same way. Rather than do what it seemed most people wanted and embrace their throwback w a home and away and maybe a red helmet, the continued the Nike trend of jerseys that look out of touch and date before they even hit the street. Weird numbers, ATL just thrown under the collar WAY too large, and again...the stupid drop shadow. These fall right in line w the jets and the browns (**who once again are getting a redesign this offseason**) as just generic video gamey arena league designs. Nike actually seems to do college well. Im not sure if its the nfl restrictions or what, but imo the only nike update thats worked was the very 1st, and even the Seahawks are now getting a little dated and their old throwbacks are starting to become popluar. The Broncos are the only team that now remains from the original Arena league looking overhaul from the early 2000s. The Bills bailed in 2011 thankfully and the Falcons are finally updated although they missed the boat. Luckily, along w that the trend of totally adopting a new colorway has diminished. Its worth mentioning, neither team planned these knowing the helmet rule was going into the trash. Im not sure it mattered, but why the Buccs said the fans wanted this (they all wsntsd bucco bucco Bruce back) and went back to 2013 rather than an update of the 70s i dont know. Whats even weirder is they went w the right idea, but w the wrong concept. The falcons just missed the boat entirely rather than updating the red helmet Dion era. And thats all i have to say about that;)

10th? Like you've actly made a list? Well, i guess we all have some extra time now lol

The horn is obviously classic, but i dint know why people are pretending like this is a slug or something. You need to show the horn - check You need to show its LA - check Its needs to be simple - check Sure, they messed w a good thing, but the 70s to early 90s wasnt the prime scheme/logo anyway so i reserve judgment until we see the jersey and helmet itself rather than get worked up about a work mark logo, that really, the worst thing i can say about it is its LIKE the slug in that it has a trump vibe... Good read https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/03/23/los-angeles-rams-reveal-new-logo-color-scheme/ Good comparison of the old, throwback, and new color schemes. Also, dont forget this logo is replacing a white and navy ram as the primary logo so id imagine its not even the logo most people are thinking it replaces fwiw. That said, it kinda lost me at the graident in the horn is supposed to represent both a spiral of a football and a wave.... why cant the ram horn just represent a ram horn?! Lol

Did The Bills Dig to Deep for Diggs Some Think So !!
gobills1212 replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yo, check this out! An ENTIRE thread with the answers you seek!! Youll find likeminded people talking about the same thing! I think you'll 'digg it' -
I personally dont think its terrible.... not great, but not terrible. That said, new era often uses secondary logos and word marks for hats. I doubt that will be the helmet logo (hope it wont) and this is just more of a rebrand with smaller changes and the uniform stays similar. I guess we will see

As has been stated tirelessly over the past 4 pages This thread is litterally someone stating this and then someone correcting them, then a few Fraizer posts, and then back to ghe start again lol

Little late and slow to the party.... But at least its an original idea right?!?!?

Traditionally, it generally takes a season or two for a WR to blossom. Sure, there are guys who pick it up right away. Sure, you can force feed a guy and if a wr can catch- he will. Its possible you guys dont disagree per se as much as just arent on the same page. AJ Green for example, got it. But it took a couple seasons for him to learn his craft and come the beast he became. Some guys like Zay for example never get it, and some come hot out of the box. I guess it just makes which one you choose all the more important vs trading for one whos already done the growing and its added cost the question!

Nah brah, its the asinine views you obviously take for attention. Do you honestly feel like after dodging a bullet last year, it would be beneficial for this team to bring in AB? Domestic crap aside (sadly, its hard to do but for the sake of conversation) after watching the way he operates you think thats a good thing for this locker room? It was debatable last year. After the year hes had, his paid (or sometimes unpaid) associates dropping him like flies, and the constant circus (see saints asking to drop the entourage and he couldnt) not to mention pending charges that if cleared to play could snap him back out of the lineup in a jiffy (this causing the team to have to adjust) you think bringing THAT guy in here is what this team needs? They need him like a hole in the head! As far as qbs go, i dont think it takes any special level of comprehension to read what you wrote and not take it as you wanted Dalton breathing down your potential FQB1's neck. There was no mention of Barkley, and the jump is you want to disrupt his growth by making him concerned about his job? That again seems like sabotage and shooting yourself in the foot just for the sake of doing it. I stand by what i said, and continue to be happy you arent the guy in charge. I dont even mean that as an insult, and there is no god like will behind it. You can make your point in paragraph form or try and snazz them up with bullet points, they remain (respectfully) just as flawed! If I was looking for attention and suggested similar ideas Id HOPE that someone would offer resistance and try to alter my thought process so I could be a better, and as a result, happier fan. Is it fun calling for things that will never happen? That just seems like a path to being a miserable 'fan' because if thats what you want and otherwise wont be happy, what fun is that?!

Of course, id expect nothing less from a person who is constantly lumped in as chronically one of the poorest posters here, but you said LIGHT A FIRE UNDER JOSH ALLEN - this implying the open competition was w Dalton and Josh... so you bringing up Barkley now is either you trying to better explain something you didnt make clear OR youve realized how silly it was and are now trying to save face. Either way, no thanks You literally put THIS in the same post arguing why we should bring in that scum bag Antonio Brown... have you not paid attention to that saga? You are just ok rooting for someone who cant even seem to act like a human being? Dude.. be better than that. I dont care how good he was, be better than that. Learn from the past and how lucky we were to dodge that bullet last yr, why would you ever want to put your hat back in that ring?!? 'If Andy Dalton doesn’t stay in Cincinnati and doesn’t get a starter’s job then I would seriously would give thought to adding him in an open competition to really lighting a fire under Allen’s ass. Nobody on this roster should be comfortable until this franchise can compete at the a very high level. ' That, to me, has nothing to do w Barkley and all to do w/Allen. If that and bringing Brown in are your thoughts, maybe consider giving up thinking. Im just happy McBeane is our GM and not Tipster..
-
That fact that you just suggested bringing in andy dalton in an open competiton at qb to supplant the 3rd yr presumed future of the franchise has given you the title of worst post in the history of this board. Such an honor is not to be taken lightly as there have been some doozies, but from now on anything you say will just be laughed at. Smdh. Wtf dude?!?

Todd Gurley trade talk from one reporter

So Where Do You Think Shady Might Be Next Year ?
gobills1212 replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Respectfully, it wont even be a blip on the radar.i could personally care less and id imagine most of the NFL would agree. Before the week started id thought 'hmm, itd be nice to see shady, sammy, and ol'reg get a ring. Go chiefs ' Then, they opened their mouths. Youd think reporters could have come up w better questions SB week and its not like they brought it up on their own.... but their comments changed my rooting interest. I liked shady and always thought he was funny. Hell, i wrongfully defended him in that I thought hed have a bounce back year. When all is said and done, ill remember shady for not being in touch w reality. Rather than admit hes spent, its getting to be outlandish excuses and reasons defending his diminished skill set like he's still shady of old. I mean can you really go your who life thinking every one else is crazy w/out it ever occuring to you maybe you were the crazy one all along?
