Josh Allen "Prove it" Season In Year 3
DuckyBoys replied to longtimebillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think his background or his story is going to help him succeed. He'll succeed because he has superior talent, intelligence , drive and work ethic to get where he needs to be. The organization is now fully commited to his success. 2018 they threw him to the wolves plain and simple. I really throw that year out. To me he began his run as the Bills qb last year. In 2019 they surrounded him with middle of the road play makers on offense. 2020 he'll finally have a difference maker in Stefon Diggs and hopefully another talented rb to pair with Devin. I fully expect with no improvement his stat lines to be better just from Diggs being there. He gets that deep ball down and they teach him to cover the damned football when he's in traffic and I see a big year for him in 2020. I still don't think we'll have seen his peak for 2-3 more years. -
Josh Allen "Prove it" Season In Year 3
DuckyBoys replied to longtimebillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Problem is he's achieving that production with the help of a 20 Mill a year wr, a 16 mill year rb and the NFL's most expensive offensive line. Somewhere in there somebody's not earning that money and that leaves the rest of their roster middling at best -
SI Article: forget about sports this year
DuckyBoys replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think you are right. Mother Nature is trying to correct things. I think we'll be back to some form of amended normalcy sooner than later. Spanish flu killed an estimate of 50+ million when the world's population was only 1.8 Billion so there are precedents to look at. I cant see everything in lock down for 6 months, there would be no economy left. I'm sure much smarter people than us are busy calculating every possibility -

I don't think that is completely true. The Falcons did not cater to Mike Vick's talents They ran a typical offense and Vick just added to it with his rushing ability most of which was scrambles and not designed runs I don't think either are great when it comes to traditional qb skills but Vick for sure had incredible arm The Ravens went out and minimized the type of throws they ask of Lamar They dont ask him to throw a lot to the outside deep or to throw into tight windows. I havent watched every ravens game but what I did see I wasnt exactly wowed by lamar's passing -

I think Cam was a success. He carried that Panthers team. Did he ever develop into a prototypical qb? No he did not but as long as his body held up that combination of ability won a lot of football games. I don't see Lamar being able to last as long as Cam did unless he does alter his playing style . Lamar is Mike Vick except the Ravens were smart enough to incorporate an offense that highlights what he does well and minimizes what he is not good at .... yet. Can Newton was unique in that his body type allowed for continued usage as a college option style qb in the nfl. I'm re-watching all of last years games for the 3rd time. Seems each time I go back I see a different angle as far as the qb play and offense as a whole . -

Still slow burning over bad calls in Texans' game
DuckyBoys replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There were some calls but honestly the Bills still had every chance to come out of there with the win. I rewatched it just now and its amazing how poor the defense was in the red zone giving up the two pointers with ease. Also how little separation there was. How little Gore had left to give. We sure could have used Diggs in that game. Josh really needs to focus on being aware of defenders when he's running with the football. I hope we get a 2020 season. -

DuckyBoys replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
yep how many games have we watched of "lets not lose the game football" If the Bills are ever going to win the big game they need the killer instinct -
I hope the Bills carry a wr #4, wr #5 who can contribute besides just special teams this year

Comes down to unrealistic expectations. He was a raw prospect who really should have sat all of 2018. Also we have delusions of where a young qb should be due to Mahomes immediate success (and yes I know he sat year 1) Some of us are satisfied with where he is and some obviously are not. My take is he improves again this coming season. There are games he frustrates me but I really do think he is the franchise guy going forward. Bills could have been delaying his development by hiding his weaknesses but they have not done that. If anything their game plans / play calling often have put him in more unfavorable conditions. Hopefully he becomes a more battle tested complete qb over the next two seasons while he's cheap against the cap . I think he's worth the patience How many qb's are the talent/ ceiling level equal or greater to his? It's a short ist

lets also remember Diggs played in a conservative rushing based offense Vikings had one of the fewest pass attempts in the nfl last year Kirk Cousins was not squeezing balls into get him involved. Saying he's not a top 10 wr based just on stats is not giving the man credit Go watch some tape, he's pretty damned good

I think it makes a dramatic difference Quickly we forget the board was frothing to have Duke Williams in late in the season That is how bad the 2nd outside wr production was. I'm certain the efficiency of the offense would have been much greater

DuckyBoys replied to longtimebillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Long as he continues to show improvement I dont see what the hurry is. He was a physically freakish project qb coming out. Bills did nothing but throw him into the lions den with a steak around his neck year one . Year two they added some support around him but the conservative play calling and washed up Frank Gore and lack of a second outside wr hurt his production. Year three the O line should be better. Diggs gives the Bills two wrs who can win on the outside and Singeltary plus whomever they bring in has to be an improvements of what was left of Frank Gore. Until McDermott quits sitting on small leads he still might struggle to push up to 240 yards a game. The defense is good enough that a 10 point lead and Daboll takes a quarter off from even trying to push the ball -
Did The Bills Dig to Deep for Diggs Some Think So !!
DuckyBoys replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The big draw of the draw picks is lucking into talent on a cost effective contract. Bills had cap space and Diggs contract is a bargain based on past production. Based on their poor history of drafting the wr position it might just have been the safest move -

Bringing in Sammy probably extended VH's lifespan by a few LP's If you listen to the demos that Gene Simmons produced for them in 1976/77 every single big song riff Eddie had already. I think he really struggled coming up with new stuff and the Van Hagar era is dominated by Sammy compositions. If I have my druthers I prefer the first Montrose album and fair Warning over everything else. Heck that last one with Roth back was all old unused tunes.
