The Cowboys defense was not good against Barkley. The line was pushed around and had no penetration, the safeties didn't fill gaps, and #30 would not make the Bills roster IMV. The Bills run defense will be much better, and Eli will make mistakes and force balls into coverage.
I can see Eli getting yanked for Jones in this game, maybe for good.

Can you imagine how jets fans feel leaving the stadium now?
Looked to me like plenty were gone after Browns TD, even before the Jets final drive.

Yes: Talking about the tediousness of fantasy football talk.

That's gotta be more tedious.
Nice work. Was the thread title misleading?
The point is we're not tuning in for FF talk, so why post in the thread? Just curious...
That would be like someone not wanting to talk FF going into a FF thread to complain, no?

Will Lutz had 3 solo tackles for the Saints last year, he's a kicker. Maybe this lady can make tackles on kick returners also?
13 other kickers made tackles last year, I'm sure some of them were TD saving? I count 21 tackles by kickers in 2018.
We don't need that around here, if the returner makes it our (imaginary female) kicker she can let them go maybe? Now that's progressive!
-
We'll know this is coming when the NFL starts protecting kickers throughout the entire play.
This is the only way it could really happen. No way they could let a female on the field without special protections added.

Ha. Ok you white knight. I don’t really see too many people saying she shouldn’t be allowed to do it.
But, Are you going to be there to pick her dead carcass off the ground when she gets pulverized on a kick off return or there when she comes out of a coma when she’s knocked into the next dimension trying to tackle a KO returner next to the sideline?
Yeah right, I see girls take down armed gangs with no weapon. Girls kick guys ass now, I watch it on TV all the time.
I see them punch guys clean out with one shot, so kickoff will be no problem. They might lead the team in ST tackles because they can run faster also, I'm pretty sure.
Unfortunately the men have the power and will just hold them back. I live in 'like what could beeeeee's", so it's my truth.

I can see it. You can compare body types, athleticism, and styles without saying they have the same expectations or success...or they would also take a knee.
Can Tyree "get there"? I wonder how long he can stick around the league.
He also reminds me of Jason Campbell (not on the same level) as a young player.

I don't listen to the TV announcers or watch pregame shows ever for any reason. Even prime-time non-Bills games.
When I'm watching from home I watch football with the volume off on the TV.
Usually I'll have the WGR stream on (or Sirius) to hear Murphy call the action a couple minutes behind what I've already seen.
I'm almost as happy with a radio only feed as I am with both, I just love hearing the games called on the radio.
I have no use for the NFL TV shows they put on every week, it's just more programming. I don't need that.

*also, oddly when I get home and bring up the WGR550 web site player on my desktop computer, I can hear the game just fine. But on my phone, nada

This year WGR has been unable to provide any radio coverage of preseason games but I am hoping that it is because it is preseason.
Otherwise I will need to revisit thread.
So the solution may be to bring a small laptop that you can either plug headphones into or leave plugged in close by and use Bluetooth headphones. Hotspot off your cell phone.
I would grab my daughter's little laptop if it was me, maybe you have access to one. The lid closes and it fits in a small bag, about the size of a tablet. Battery last long enough for a game. Just have to make sure browser is in in desktop mode, not mobile (it should be already).

Tucker said his contract was not renewed so he was gone.
I'm a little suspicious because he really went off on Julian Edleman (not directly to him) one morning calling him a cheater and said he will always think of him that way because he cheated (PED) but Ross never did. I was shocked that he was being so honest about his feelings regarding PED's, because he really hammered Edleman along the way.
I'm sure some of you heard that.
Anyways the next thing I know Ross is gone, then they do a "town hall" special interview with Edleman hosted by Jim Miller, and run it for weeks. They must have replayed the hour long interview 20 times over 2 or more weeks. Very unusual for Sirius to replay something so much when they have on demand. I skipped them all, I have no idea what was discussed in the "town hall".
Coincidence?

They didn't throw the ball much and Josh didn't have big numbers? Good.
The #1 goal last night IMV was to keep Josh (and everyone) healthy. We would feel much different if they failed at that.
So lets run the ball a ton and work on the run game against a very strong D-Line. Whatever you do just don't get Josh hit, but a few passes won't hurt...
Then, what maybe Josh's 1st pass, he takes off running! OK, enough of that, hand the ball off buddy.?
I'm glad the coaching staff wasn't trying to prove the decision to draft Josh last night with him throwing all over, they were trying to be smart and get good work done without losing the QB.
Josh is so competitive maybe they just can't trust him to protect himself yet, so save it for when it counts.
I was ready to see Barkley when Josh slid kinda head first sideways on his scramble...really not good in the preseason.

He can can choice the ball - convert him to TE.
Make him a TE and he can do the dance in the end zone on them fools.

He would be the best player on the team when healthy.
He plays at a premium position, one that we have a question about based on last season.
He has a problem with the team that many players have had issue with (medical), and plenty of former Skins can vouch for this team's facilities.
I would trade Dawkins to them and pay Trent, if I had a say. You don't find guys like him available...I would at least be on the phone with Bruce Allen and Doug Williams to see where it's at. They will become desperate to get someone at some point if this continues, Dawkins would be great for them compared to a Trent Williams that won't play there.

Interesting article (what I can see). Thanks for posting it.
I don't see any mention of breaking the will of the defenses by running the ball on them. Just bowing up and smashing it over and over because you can. Ripping the voice away from the hopeless home fans, and just demoralizing the opponent. We've all felt it both ways.
I think the play action works because this is fear #1 for a defense, maybe 2nd to 'don't get beat deep'. Do not let them run on us!

Isn't the point of the NFL to win football games, most notably playoff games, not accumulating tons of cap space by filling the roster with rookie contract guys and bottom feeder veterans? Talent is expensive in the NFL, and teams that don't identify and manage talent very well don't make the playoffs very often. When the Bills start making the playoffs and winning playoff games with some regularity, THEN we can discuss whether or not their cap management is "good", "decent" or "a train wreck waiting to happen".
Right now, all this gushing about how "good" their cap management is premature.
The point is to relax a little and enjoy the game.

I appreciate the intent and effort of the OP but unfortunately threads like this merely devolve into arguments and insults by people who feel the need to "be right."
We'll find out whether Josh Allen is the QB we all want him to be soon enough. Some fans are optimistic, some are not.
I'm extremely optimistic about Allen, so I need the balance from the more doubtful few.
We have about 6 weeks of this punching back and forth to read before anything new happens.
Remember it's a marathon guys, don't go too hard too soon or you'll get winded.

And if I thought there was any competition for talent between Lesean McCoy and TJ Yeldon or Marcus Murphy that money would be relevant. But there isn't. There is none. Shady could be 40 and still be better than Yeldon. So that money is about a $4.5m saving (by the time you have paid Yeldon) for an obviously far inferior talent. The Bills have done enough voluntarily downgrading the talent level the last two years. It is time to roll with the guys who can play. Shady can. Yeldon can't.
They added 3 guys to the 2 they kept at the position, there's a reason teams are wondering if Shady is available.
Yeldon isn't the one that would be beating out McCoy IMV, it would be the rookie. Like I said we know who the rest of the guys are (Yeldon, Gore, McCoy).
Shady could have a great year, I'm open to that. I could also see him back in the green uniform if the rookie shows he's ready this summer.

I am the ultimate cold heart. I am known by my friends as an emotional vacuum. My argument for keeping Lesean McCoy is all logic. I just see it totally different to you.
The reasons players get moved in this league are:
1. Not a culture fit - I think the regime has been pleasantly surprised by McCoy in this regard and their comments last year support that.
2. They have better players - Yeldon cannot give you near similar production as Lesean McCoy. There is simply no reason to believe he can. TJ Yeldon's best year in the NFL (his rookie year 4 years ago) he had 700 odd yards, 2 TDs, at 4.1ypa. Last year he had fewer yards and fewer touchdowns than McCoy's worst year behind an atrocious oline.
3. Money - the Bills would accrue over $2.5m of dead cap by cutting McCoy. Yes they would save $6m on this year's cap but they have lots of cap space. They don't need the savings. So they would just be cutting a guy for an inferior player of they cut Shady and keep Yeldon.
I don't see a single rationale argument for doing it. It is a lot of money for a 31 year old back. But he is still the best back on the team until proven otherwise (and he will unquestionably be one of the top 3 backs) there is no cap hit beyond this year to consider and the Bills are not in need of money this year.
The only two ways Shady is not on the roster in 2019 are injury or someone trading above his value for him (if the Bills got offered a #1 a #2 or a high #3 of course they would and should trade him.)
The $6,175,000 is more than cap space, it's actual money.
This summer we find out if Gore, Singletary, Yeldon/Murphy + $6.175 Million cash, and a potential draft pick as compensation is better than keeping him.
Devin Singletary is the key IMO, we know who the rest of the players are. Is he ready to take the job by the end of summer? McCoy's that is.
This preseason will be the Singletary show at RB, and that's what I want to see the most.
I'm fine either way, that's just how I see it. Just end up with the best guys and let's go. I also don't think we get more than a day 3 pick for McCoy or he would already be gone.
Should 12th man on Bills Wall of Fame be changed to Bills Mafia?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by Aireskoi
To me Bills Mafia is a fun name that represents a younger generation that have brought fans together on social media.
I like it, I think it's cool when the players mention it.
Not everybody is going to like every nickname they get, but if this team keeps winning the attention the fans get is going to explode.
Nationally 12th man says Seahawks now. Bills Mafia represents all Bills fans to the rest of the country, like it or not.
Walk up to random NFL fan in random city and say I'm an NFL fan, a member of the '12th man' and no one will know what team, or they will assume Seahawks.
