Bills @ Dolphins Game thread - 2nd Half
Billsfanatic8989 replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
What a dissapointing game/season really. This is why Allen isn't in that Mahomes tier. He can't lead us when we need him most -
Had we not lost to the Jets, Broncos and Pats, there is a very good chance we are the one seed resting starters tomorrow.

Steelers @ Ravens 4:30pm Game Thread
Billsfanatic8989 replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just preferred the two seeds getting a bye. There was nothing wrong with that strategy. This is a cash grab by the league. Nothing more. The two seed should get something out of this new format. Like choosing who they play in round one. -
It’s division title or bust (updates on non-Bills games)
Billsfanatic8989 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Essentially, the loser of tomorrow's game has very little chance of winning the SB. So it was always division or bust. We are the better team and healthier. No excuse to not win. If we win and than lose 40-0 or something the next week, I think a serious discussion should be had on his job status. Otherwise, I think he stays if we beat Miami. -
Steelers @ Ravens 4:30pm Game Thread

Then the Bills would be a legit 7th seed against Miami. But historically, these average teams like Pittsburgh in 2021. & Seattle last year, don't put up a fight. -
Steelers @ Ravens 4:30pm Game Thread
Billsfanatic8989 replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree. But it will be the too many men on the field game that kills us. Our own doing. We should have never lost to NE either. -
Steelers @ Ravens 4:30pm Game Thread
Billsfanatic8989 replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Steelers definitely don't deserve it. This new 7th seed has watered down the competition. The 7 seeds have not been close to winning in the postseason. -
Steelers @ Ravens 4:30pm Game Thread
Billsfanatic8989 replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
So it's likely win and in. Lose or out for us tomorrow. If we can't beat an injury depleted Fins squad, we don't deserve it. -
You are correct. My bad on that. Only way a team does not get the ball second is if a defender intercepts it and fumbles it back to the offense. If the offense then scores a TD, game over.
-
I should rephrase. If it was obvious the defense committed three blatant offside penalties where they get free, and clear shots at the QB, receivers etc, they could utilize the palpable unfair act. It's rarely used. Example: Eagles are at the goalline and try the tush push. Before the snap, a defensive player runs straight to Hurts and knocks him back about five yards. Once that happens the second time, and it's clear the defense is doing it on purpose (doesn't have dumb players who just have a history off not saying onside), the ref could theoretically award a TD to the offense. Because the defense is clearly delaying the game and trying to intentionally injur the opposition. If a returner was thirty yards from a clear kickoff return TD, and a player from the opposition ran from the bench to tackle him short, the rule would be enforced. The returning team gets a TD.
-
Refs can call a TD after the second or third time I believe. But at least you get big hits in. Maybe one of their stars get hurt (no pun intended) and they think twice about it in future.
-
In the regular season, the team that wins the toss will win with a TD. In the postseason, barring a 2 pt conversion, team B gets a chance at scoring a TD.

Once upon a time when I was younger I'd be pissed

Might be the best thing to ever happen to.this franchise. IF...an offensive HC is brought in. -
Time to Rest the Injured and Tank
Billsfanatic8989 replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah...I'm not even sure about this anymore. Belichick has definitely been exposed without Brady. But he is more than capable of outcoaching McDermott. -
So he was worried about scoring too fast against....Denver? That offense? Tells me everything I need to know about the state of this franchise. Everyone deserves blame. But why does this defense consistently fail to close out games? Giants should have been a loss. Ref luck on our side. Jags, Jets, Patriots, and Denver were losses. You can blame the offense for not having a larger margin. But you need a defensive stop once in awhile. We let Tyrod Taylor, Mac Jones, and the corpse of Russell Wilson go down for game winning scores (let's be honest. Refs missed PI on the Giants).

Are people really that unhappy with our 4-2 Bills?
Billsfanatic8989 replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah, you are what your record says you are. But red flags were everywhere even at 4-2. The Giants game made me realize this was a very flawed team. The Patriots loss made me realize this team was most definitely not doing anything substantial this season. The Bengals loss just reconfirmed that feeling. Even if we won this game, there were still.more issues than good things about this team. BTW, the Patriots/Giants? They will be playing in the tank bowl in week 12. We should have lost to both. Did lose to NE. -
Massive offensive drop off from Daboll to Dorsey. At this point, the OC needs to go. As in tomorrow. See how the team is performing by January before firing/keeping McDermott.
