No Defensive/Special Teams Touchdowns
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to wiseman3's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No kidding this is driving me nuts. He cost the Bills 5-10 yards of field position on a couple of kickoffs vs. Baltimore. I am not exactly "concerned" about the lack of ST or especially defensive touchdowns, but I do think it calls into question Roberts value to the team. He had one nice kick-off return and is clearly adept at fielding punts and picking up a few yards. So it's not like he's made egregious mistakes, but to hold down an active roster spot without contributing on offense at all, he needs to do more. -
Week 15: Bills at Steelers on SNF

That Duluth team was outstanding. -
Would McDermott entertain a Charlotte offer
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Paul Costa's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's under contract with Buffalo. If they want to trade a couple first rounders for him... -
Joe Cribbs = Devin Singeltary
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Stallions's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Excellent comparison. Singletary is like Sanders in the same way that a single engine Cessna is like an F-16. Yes, they both fly and can carry a passenger. Don't get me wrong I like Singletary but let's not get carried away here. -
Bills @ Cowboys, Thanksgiving Day - 4:30
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ravens look dynamite but there's a saying about "any given Sunday" which is the reason they don't play the games on paper but actually strap 'em on and man up to find out who will win. Lots of things can happen with special teams plays, injuries, defensive scores...let's see how it goes. -
The jet lag will create significant challenges to visiting teams and for the London team on the road. West Coast-London in particular will be noticeable. Flying in Business Class and managing sleep and so forth makes it tolerable, but the brain and body can't be fooled. It takes close to a day per hour time zone change to adapt to the local timezone. 6 to 9 hours of time zone differences can only be overcome...maybe...if the visiting team departs for London on Monday for a game the following Sunday. I'm not an expert on this by any means but I have flown to Asia and Europe well over 100 times, read plenty of books and articles on it, spoken at length with co-workers doing the same thing, etc. Playing a sport at the highest level will expose even small gaps in physical and mental preparedness and energy levels IMO. Not sure if the NFL will care about this. The NFLPA might but probably can't (or won't) stop it from happening. Maybe it will be a bargaining chip to eliminate the Thursday night games which seem inhuman to subject players to that abuse a mere 4 days after the prior game.

Not sure, but for reference the Buffalo and Rochester MSA's combined are 2.1M people whereas Portland-Hillsboro-Vancouver, WA MSA is 2.5M alone. It's surprisingly big. Only one NBA team for major league sports competition. I looked up median household income and it's roughly 40% higher in Portland vs. Buffalo (just for comparison purposes). Mo' money...

Mark Walton, MIA RB, Suspended 4 games
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His substance abuse was domestic beer you're saying? Or do you mean as compared to substance abusers in foreign countries? -
Yes, I'm wildly in love with the word wild.

And yet, heading into this week he was the MOST accurate passer inside 20 yards. So he's wildly accurate too. That's just wild...

Jalen Ramsey Traded to Rams

Well...they did for Cornelius Bennett. That may be before your time. -
MNF: Detroit at Green Bay

NFL officiating ruins another game. What a joke. -
How to beat the Patriots??? RUN
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Tatonka68's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Folks who don't appreciate the Pats greatness (a team I of course, despise) over the past 1.5 decades and instead attribute it to a "fix" are on par with flat Earthers. -
Except most of those runs are stopped within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage if it's another back...Gore's tackle breaking abilities haven't diminished at all. Even if he can't break a 20 yarder to an 80 yarder anymore, I don't think Singletary nor McCoy (anymore) have that kind of speed either. The home run threat RB is not on the roster this year. That's OK.

Bills fans table breaking needs to calm down
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's funny that this is even a viable metric by which to measure Bills fan's status.
