Just now, BillsFan4 said:
Eh, maybe it’s just me but I have no issue putting him ahead of Pat DiMarco.
I don’t know. I guess, for me, Fullback just isn’t a very exciting position to watch play. Now, Pat Mahomes on the other hand....
lol
You don't like to watch FB? It's an acquired taste, they should get more ADULATION around here.

I'm not putting him ahead of Patrick DiMarco, but Josh is 2nd for sure.
Seriously I just told my buddy today that Josh is the most exciting player in the NFL, and that I'm biased but so what.
Josh is the man, he's as smart as he is athletic. His arm and legs could diminish over time but he will become a QB Jedi by then.

Right, the bolded part of your statement is exactly what I said.
The OP is about should 12th man be changed to that on the wall of fame. IMHO the answer is no because 12th man is on the wall for the impact the Bills fans actually in that stadium have made during successful Bills seasons. What is on the wall has nothing to do with what the world thinks about Bills fans, it is a nod to everyone who has been at a Bills game and cheered their guts out for the team.
I have no issue with the term Bills Mafia at all. The Seahawks and their theft of 12th man can go pound sand, still doesn't change what we as fans accomplished in our stadium.
That's where I'm at, 12th man is historic and should stay, and I'm more wait and see as far as adding Bills Mafia permanently to the stadium.
I think winning has to come or the Bills Mafia name will fade, but if we get some playoff wins and a Superbowl or two the name will be cemented for this generation.

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.
6 minutes ago, Metal Man said:No.
The 12th man is representative of how the fans attending the game could affect the outcome and essentially be another member of the team. This was especially true during the Super Bowl runs.
Bills Mafia is just a generic term for Bills fans who at anytime could be anywhere in the world.
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.

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.

14 hours ago, coloradobillsfan said:I haven't tried it out during a game yet, but the Google Play store app "NFL Football Radio LIVE" has 12 stations listed for the Bills, and has mostly positive reviews. Lately (for the preseason games) I've just been bringing up one of the Reddit video streams but they drop out frequently, eat up data quickly, and make my phone about as hot as a nuclear fuel rod
*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
Does work on PC.
12 hours ago, Limeaid said:Last year I listened to WGR on PC when I was not able physically handle driving to bar and watching the game there.
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!

Like Warren Sapp's rookie season? He dropped to 12 due to allegations of drug use, but he was the standard used.
https://www.bucsnation.com/2011/7/2/2256389/gerald-mccoys-and-warren-sapps-rookie-seasons
We all know how Warren Sapp's career went: he is a surefire Hall of Famer. But not many remember Warren Sapp's rookie season, and for good reason: the highly-touted defensive tackle managed just 3 sacks and was relegated to backup duty after just five games. Newspapers of the time speak of Warren Sapp the Underachiever, a subpar rookie season and his own defensive coordinator was quoted as calling him a major disappointment.
But in his second year Warren Sapp stepped up, sacking the quarterback 9 times. He turned into a dominating force, the core of an improving defense. So how did this happen? To say it in his own words, Sapp was "a blind dog in a meat house" in his rookie year. In other words: he had no idea what he was doing. The coaches used him differently every game, sometimes asking him to play head-up on offensive linemen, other times asking him to shoot gaps and penetrate.

DT is a tough transition from college to NFL. Give the man a few games to find his way.
