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.

Must win for multiple reasons tonight: 1. Win a huge game against an elite team that has caused us fits in the past 2. 1st in AFC East. Would still be a battle to the end. But losing would cause huge sales. 3. A loss virtually guarantees we don't get HFA throughout. Even if we came back and won the division. Would need to basically win out and hope KC dropped at least two more games. With Dallas, Miami, Jets, Philly, & KC left, well, that's unlikely to happen. 4. Team game. Not the most important. But hoping Allen shows he is better than Burrow going forward. Idk if one game determines that. But I can't say with certainty I would take Allen before Burrow moving forward.

Bills @ Patriots Post game thread
Billsfanatic8989 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Had a bad feeling about this game. Everyone in the press was talking about how Belichick would be fired. Patriots are looking to tank etc. Bills will blow them out. Maybe the Bills thought they could just show up & NE would quit within no time at all. -
Tough to win in this league when your receivers can't get seperation. Need a legit #2 to take pressure off Diggs. Pickens or Olave would be great additions. Might cost a bit though.

Are we still mathematically alive?
Billsfanatic8989 replied to DBilz2500's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yep. Good point. Will probably lose to teams like Bucs & Chargers. I can't see them losing to Denver. They are on another tier of badness. -
Yeah I just did research on that. Denver played in NE from 2012-2014. Then, NE played in Denver between 2015-2017. Seems to go on a three year rotation.

How Good is Josh Allen Really?
Billsfanatic8989 replied to hondo in seattle's topic in The Stadium Wall
He reminds me of Brett Favre. Gunslinger. Will win alot games with his arm. He will lose alot of games with his arm. He is what he is. I'd get cut out the turnovers, he would be right there every year as an MVP candidate. -
Absolutely. This team has a tendency to beat great teams and play down to the competition. Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. No excuses.
-
We still have Eagles, Cowboys, Jets, KC, Miami, and Bengals upcoming. Philadelphia & KC are two of the toughest places to win at. Cincinnati, despite their issues, aren't inferior to us. If we win the division, we will have earned it. BTW, why do we keep playing @KC? Three years in a row. They have not played in Buffalo since 2020.
