  1. How do you generate offense outside of Allen? A run game. A competent run game would have spared a fraction of the blitzes from that garbage Miami defense. Garbage.
  2. I watch the clip of him yelling “come on! Come on!” All the time. It’s inspiring to see someone so good natured, and human, and passionate about competing to win. The pressure to be a champion can’t be relieved by a forgiving fanbase. It can only be relieved by winning. I don’t think it’s crazy to assume that he loves us because we are depending on him.
  3. Joique Bell!!! He had a lot of potential. Had some nice years with Detroit too. Blackshear has some great speed and a nice cut. Not sure he would be serviceable as a blocker or on ST. I always want to go with youth, but it’s hard to think about letting Duke Johnson go, in favor of Blackshear. We could also be overhyping him to think he won’t be on the PS.
  4. Thank you. The hyper competitive coaches and parents in Youth sports is the issue. When you get so wrapped up in the win that you forget the idea is teaching children how to work together and about unity and the bonds of hard work. My point remains. I Coach my kids to NEVER bark at the ref. NEVER. That’s a sure fire way to never get a call. Communication is the way to get what you need from a ref. Until they don’t listen. Then sometimes they get the business. Same with a Coach who is having his kids hack and trip and stiff arm and shoulder block. Sometimes they need to be reminded that the rules are the rules for a reason, and not guidelines to be bent. I take coaching seriously. It’s not my profession, but I am passionate about it. There are fine lines and A LOT of grey area, and at the end of the day, we are coaching children. Role models and examples of adults to respect and follow. That includes how to deal with things when they don’t go your way.
  5. As a Coach, sometimes you need to give the Ref the business. As a Coach, sometimes you need to give the other Coach the business. But it ends at the business. I’ve given and gotten it, and never once resulted in fists. My blood has boiled watching other boys hack at my son in Lacrosse, or trip my daughters in soccer. Or worse, the blatant BS in one of our Flag Football leagues. I’m not going to say it hasn’t come close. The minute some guy gives the “ok chief” it’s hard for me. I won’t lie. But, the thought of my kids, whether my own or the ones I Coach, seeing me taken away in cuffs over a game, is just awful to me. I don’t understand how grown men, who have clearly seen the right side of things, can’t behave the same way. Just disgusting
  6. Gentry looked interesting. Nothing to keep around outside of camp. Good strong hands, looked quick.
  7. Thugs gonna thug, right? Shameful. It’s Youth football, not that adult football would make a difference; but the idea that you can role model a better life for children seems lost on these fools. Hopefully, justice is served, but you know, he’s got millions and is a former “star”, so it won’t.
  8. Nooooooooooooooo! Cheers to you for your years of service! Post game won’t be the same without the Rockpile Review.
  9. Not the best, but certainly acceptable. Not one person that posts here, is going to leave a football party with the Bills on, because they dared serve boneless wings and ranch.
  10. Thank God she got it done. She’s so brave. As her constituents, we should all be grateful.
  11. Sadly, this will go overlooked. It’s not sensational, it’s just the truth. The world we live in might get better if we all read more than headlines. Thanks for your common sense.
  12. True. But, I wonder if the “best 11” philosophy gets used here against the run. You can put Lawson on the line, and leave Miller on the field as well. I’m not going to lie, I’m no fan of watching RB’s now down Taron Johnson over and over. If the idea is that TJ is a better overall run defender than Von Miller, I have to disagree. Like I said, it makes me wonder if this gives us some more versatility against the run.
  13. I don’t know? To me, adding Lawson, allows you to put Miller in sort of a stand up spot, and still keep Edmunds and Milano on the field. You may lose something in pass protection, but you are better suited against the runs. I don’t know…
  14. Now we can use less nickel against the run. This might help that look get fresh again for opposing OC’s.
  15. Youre telling me the best option is an aging over the hill Roger Saffold? At least someone else posted something sensible, that this is a move to satisfy Aaron Kromer. Which if true, I’m fine with. Someone to show the ropes of the system, have an anchor on the line who gets the concepts. I still don’t like it.
  16. This feels like a move for the sake of making a move. Not that it matters, but I don’t approve.
  17. Paging Mario Williams! Paging Mr Mario Williams… you have a pizza at the Front Desk.
  18. I fully support this.
  19. Trent Edwards with guts.
  20. Joe Burrow didn’t light it up tonight. He’s a young kid, who much like the other Joe’s they kept mentioning him with, he has a voice. He didn’t play that great tonight, but he also didn’t have anyone protecting him. I don’t remember a single team winning a Super Bowl with piss poor offensive line play. No one can convince me that these games aren’t fixed. Not all of them, but the terrible officiating in this game tonight, was a clear example of it. That Bengals TD to open the second half was egregious. I’m no fan of Jalen Ramsey, but come on. The line judge was right there. He’s got a flag, he threw one later in the game with everything on the line. It’s frustrating to watch over and over again. And Goodell sits in his suite chatting it up with Russell Wilson and LeBron, while the integrity of the game crumbles. I don’t understand the narrative that Collinsworth was pushing. The whole “Stanford has no one to throw too” routine got old real quick on that last 15 play drive where McVay finally realized he has the OPOY in the huddle. That kid is amazing, and deserves all the money he can get. Aaron Donald is an amazing football player. He took over that game with aggression and focused rage. He’s an impressive person, and seeing him humble and crying at the end of the game was really a powerful message for young men. You can be an absolute monster on the field, and want to play in the confetti with your children. His vulnerability in that moment is something that the league should focus on, when it tries to inspire its younger audience. Pretty meh game. I told my son that the Bills would have smoked the Rams tonight. I truly believe that. I have sour grapes in my mouth, and that’s unfortunate, but whatever. I know that Josh Allen would have never taken that many sacks. Our time will come.
  21. Jalen Ramsey is not that good. My 9 year old just said “you have to keep the play in front of you.”
  22. I mean… If that “holding” call isn’t proof that Vegas runs the NFL, I don’t know what else anyone needs to see.
