Man with No Name

yes. i thought the same thing. looks and sounds great.

oh dear. it will be a whole lot more palatable if we win by 30 and Allen drops 450 and 5 tds.

ya. i haven't read him in years. He was always corny, but always worth a read because he had such great connections. if that is still the case, no reason for him to go anywhere.

I don't know the stats from week to week, but found this: Washington’s pass rush created 26 pressures but failed to sack Allen in the game. Nearly half of the pressures came from Daron Payne, who generated 11 pressures on 40 pass-rush snaps for a 30.0 pass-rush win percentage.

I didn't think the line was amazing today. There were some passes on the run, and some very quick hits. Maybe the play calling is adjusting to what teams are throwing at us? The big evolution will be when they can make adjustments on the fly.

RIP. and thoughts to Siran and family as well.

Daboll is great in games where we completely overmatch the competition. everything seems so smart and fun. but when other teams have our number, there are never adjustments. After our last two games (KC and today) I am afraid we have been figured out and won't be able to adjust enough to be what we were.

Ok. They either did this purposely, knowing the rep of the Bills Mafia, so they could get a little notoriety, or they had somebody who is completely clueless put it together. An intern who doesn't really understand the entire national scene perhaps. Who knows. But it was pathetically done.

McCoy was part of a huge transition here and if he really was a problem in Philly, as written up, it shows a lot that he came to Buffalo and GREW UP. Something most people don't pull off until it's too late. only fond memories of Shady from this guy.

Gotta love Diggs!

Those were not full scale renovations like the ones done in Green Bay, KC, and Chicago.

this is not true. our passing game never had a chance to get started with that "breeze." if we are going to stay open air in OP, shouldn't we just renovate and save the tax payers several hundred millions of dollars?

I'm glad he came out. It's something that needed to happen just to get it over with. that said, this barely even registers with me at this point, and that's a good thing, right? It's probably a bigger deal to people who actually play football. especially closeted gays who actually play football. But I don't think society really cares. obviously there are always gonna be haters out there. let's not try to pretend they are a representation of society as a whole. The next step is to get a mega star to come out as gay, and then we can be done with this and never have to do the coming out thing again. good post.

why does his former stance matter when this is a completely different situation

the difference between this year and last year is that last year the football players were basically following the same rules as the rest of the country. This year, it appears that most of the country is very close to being back to normal, while football players are still living under the same rules as last year.

the nfl has changed dramatically since 1993. Build a stadium around current strengths? i say yes when you are talking about a franchise qb-- a position that guys play very well to 40+. That could be half the life of the stadium. And it's about January. Not 500 yard games from Sept to Nov.

if it's closed enough to kill the wind, great. but no, a strong armed qb has a passing game built around them. a passing game doesn't work in garbage weather. it doesn't work for anybody. you run the risk of giving an advantage to teams built like the ravens, if they have an even slightly competent passing game.

no roof is a mistake with the passing game we should have for the next dozen years

I think this is where I stand, but I am 39 years old, so watched them as a pre teen and teen. Marino definitely seems to have the edge in skills. But I didn't know what I was watching enough to look at different intangibles, decision making, leadership, etc.

ok got it. I'm not around enough to sniff out some of the troublemakers here. I thought it was an interesting topic with some thoughtful posts. would be nice to just freeze or ban posters who are not contributing with good intentions, while also deleting posts that do not further the conversation.

Why is the Kelly vs Marino thread closed? I'm just trying to grasp the rules around here. Thanks.

what are the numbers? what is a "spike"

if we play our cards right and allen turns out, we have him another 15 years. stadium should be up in 5. obviously, it's imperative that we move on it as quickly as possible.

football wise, a dome makes sense. forget about allen's strong arm. if we are trying to build something akin to peyton manning's colts offense, we are putting ourselves at a huge disadvantage, relatively speaking, when a running team like baltimore comes to our home stadium.

this.
