Former Buffalo Bills Matt Stevens has passed away

Had a really impressive career. I had no idea he played that long. -

Am I play or two away from being a diamond? -

Sorry if I got in the way of your run it back celebration. I understand anything past “we are really close” is a challenging thing for some to consider -

Mikie2times replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
This board is funny right? I mean, Buffalo can barely get past the divisional round and we theorize we are just a play or two away from a Super Bowl title. Yet the 2nd leading scoring team in NFL history wouldn't have been better off with Randy Moss because they lost one game all year by 3 points? By all means, explain that one to me. -

We seem to push for more draft pick development, 2nd contracts, home grown, than the NFL average. It seems like as a % of our roster internal draft picks is a huge % compared to the rest of the league. Most people here say that is really good, but I'm not sure that is really good. It seems more philosophical and us betting on the further development of our draft picks / preference in knowledge of our draft picks vs new blood. Is that right? I don't know, but I can't assume that it is as so many do. That point sort of ties in with this. How good are these guys? As you said, what does Shakir look like on the Giants? (personally, I think Shakir is one of our best players, so I still think he would do his thing) but outside of him, what would Mac Hollins look like? How about Gabe Davis, who we labeled as a hit by Beane, but was it? Based on starts and stats he sure was, but did Gabe Davis just benefit from Allen and allow Beane to kick the can down the road which ultimately hurt us more? Do we want to depend on lower grade players simply because we have Josh? 3 years prior to 2007 New England finished with a top 10 offense 3 consecutive years and won a Super Bowl (in addition to getting booted in the divisional and Championship rounds). It was common at that time to think Brady really didn't need elite weapons, I mean they won a Super Bowl and went deep the other two years. That offseason they landed Moss. As we know, they didn't win the Super Bowl, but had they had a guy like Randy the whole time, they probably would have 3-4 more rings easy. That offense was the best of all time. So when we say, geez, this offense is already #1, what else do we need? Well, look at how Moss elevated that Patriots offense -

I don't think using Allens talent to subsidize the rest of this roster is any sort of proof we did things the right way. But you do you. I would think think draft capitol is inversely correlated to wins. Worse teams have more capital. -
Practically, I don't think so either. But they have been to 7 straight AFC championships. So while you think that the signs point to this slowing down for at least a year, we also saw Brady and the Patriots defy those thoughts for almost two decades. Somebody will have to take it from them like usual. I have no reason to believe it's anything but that until I see a more obvious decline.

I was pretty bummed when the greatest comeback got knocked off as #1 (although I think most people still recognize our as "the greatest"). I agree, I would not want to see somebody accomplish this. It is a much more difficult than a single Super bowl or even consecutive Super Bowls. I would still take just one over the four losses in a row, but more difficult for sure.

Ask that question here and you will get: Chiefs are dynasty Injuries Bad luck

I think we lose that Ravens game at home about 7 of 10 and on the road about 9 of 10. McD had a very good first half. We forced critical turnovers, as we did most the year, but the second half felt like we were holding onto a tree in a tornado. The clock ran out it couldn't have happened soon enough. As you pointed out, we haven't even made the Super Bowl. So this notion that we get by the Chiefs and somehow that's all that's needed, it's just so far off base. The Bengals would have likely taken us out post 13 seconds as we showed no answers to that era's Bengals squads. We will have them, Ravens, Texans, Cheifs, in addition to improving Chargers and AFC East. That is just the mess to play in the game. Forget about winning the damn thing. Our team is basically a 100% run it back at this point. Which is a divisional round team unless we see some major progression from some of our younger players or crush the draft.

AFC Championship Game- How do you feel now about it?
Mikie2times replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
We have had plenty of big time drives in the regular season. But we have not had those drives ever occur in the playoffs (13 seconds aside) or in OT in the regular season. In fact we are 0-6 in OT in Allen’s career and we possessed the ball in 5 of 6 of those games. So to say I “trust” this offense in this spot, sure, but not after January and not in OT. Ultimately it seems like this will have to happen for us to get as far as we want to go. A lot of other things need to happen as well but we need to capitalize on these spots. What champions don’t? -

It’s time for a generational talent, blue chipper
Mikie2times replied to Vickveto's topic in The Stadium Wall
Daring Double Down Dingle, but hard to argue (even if on principle I also agree with Gunner). But we did this. This is why the nice things aren't meant for us. -
I can't do those things on TBD

Stunning his his behavior is normalized by his base. Everything has a justification. How about impeaching judges vs just following the court system? When is that open defiance of the judicial system coming? He has prepped his base for awhile now that his defiance of the courts will be for the greater good. That it's the liberal judges that just want to stop American progress. That we, as Americans, need his strength. As he moves you slowly away from democracy, you will be the one arguing it's for the greater good, doing his bidding for him. It's already playing out.

Dalton Kincaid- why so underwhelming this season?
Mikie2times replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
Got it, we are just the little guy, everybody hates us or doesn't see us. Meanwhile, teams in major thriving metros like Baltimore and Detroit get all the rewards. Actually, funny you asked. Group 1: Teams with a QB that finished the year with a 65-69.99 QBR are 475-288 since 2010. Good for a 62.25% winning percentage. Group 2: Teams with a QB that finished the year with a 70 or better QBR are 582-208 since 2010. Good for a 73.67% winning percentage. Josh Allen has the following QB's 2020: 76.6 2021: 66.3 2022: 73.4 2023: 69.6 2024: 76.7 2025: 77.3 The Bills basically fall in line perfectly with that chart and the winning% in the regular season. Down year? Take a look at the EPA on the Bills defense last year when they didn't force a turnover. Among the worst in football. Which is indicative of the talent level of this team. We have had more talented defenses in the past, ones that at least took until the post season to fully breakdown, sure. We don't at this point. Not close. I also find the Cousins comment consistent with your takes. Atlanta had Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London. So three skilled position players better than anything we have and they still couldn't make it work. So you think Cousins is coming here and teaming up with star power like Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid and making it work? All Pro's, Pro Bowl's, Stats, Records, all take a back seat to how you carve up those narratives to fit your opinion. I'm just providing what the data says. I don't need to have an opinion. His record is under .500 without Allen. -
Its the offseason, what else do we have to do?

Does anything past this point really matter? He's targeting a private entity that pursued action against him in the past. He's removing that companies ability to operate using tools of the executive branch. Once that company "apologized" and offered 40 million dollars in future legal services to the Trump administration (with the alternative being suffer 100's of million of dollars in financial losses) now they can operate normally again. You take this as a legitimate politics? It's normal to you that private entities are being coerced by the executive branch based on past, negative relationships with the president? Coincidentally Columbia University rejected Trumps proposal for them to expand in the early 90's into Trump owned properties. Most people around the events at that time made it pretty clear how much Trump was bothered with his interactions with Columbia and the fact that they wouldn't move forward with the deal. Tariffs are because of Fentanyl and Columbia is because of Jews and Paul Weiss is because of inclusion and woke policies. Got it.....
