How do you judge a good defense?
Mikie2times replied to BritBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like yards per play and points. But even then, both stats have shortcomings. You need to really look at several stats as a whole -
Betting strategy implications of COVID and the offseason
Mikie2times replied to Cson76's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Same thing I always do, take advantage of public perception and theories that aren't back by any evidence. -
When they first brought up March Madness, I didn't think any chance of that happening could occur. If this experience has taught me one thing it's that everybody involved keeps underestimating it's ability to disrupt normal life from work/business to athletics and everything in between. Without a vaccine I think at best we will see a shortened MLB season and likely outright CXL and if that is the case we could be looking at NCAA and NFL being at risk for 2020. Picture how much better it needs to get for us to allow 80,000 people in a stadium?

JK Dobbins doesn't get enough love. He's a 2nd round steal
Mikie2times replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like to see severe contrast between RB's. Somebody like Dillion makes a lot of sense, Just seeing his comps comparing to Henry then the production at BC. He passes the eye test. Dobbins is also a very talented RB. Not as much contrast but dynamic. I would be thrilled with either of them. -
Norman got paid and treated like a lock down but he was better as a zone guy. That's what can be nice at times about our scheme. We can get value out of players other teams just can't and we seem to be good at identifying those players. I don't really care much about Norman but if the front office thinks he's the right fit it would be an exciting signing.

One "drought era" Bill on today's roster?
Mikie2times replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That was a remarkable play. McGee was electric. Probably wouldn't be my #1, but he was fun to watch. -
Jim Everett said this was real and not fake
Mikie2times replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think it was him as much as his competition. He paved the way for blow hard sports reporters. Once he was playing against the same competition he wasn't as dynamic. -
Brady says he will be playing in next years Super Bowl
Mikie2times replied to ALLEN1QB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember the day of the Titans loss my VP sent out his "Playoff video". He posted it on Twitter the morning of the game. Basically something about them being the main predator ready to kill weaker prey or some crap like that. Another guy I work with said the Patriots are going to roll. I have been noticing this stuff all year with Brady. He seems to be building a hype machine in a way. In the past he never did. I looked at that Video the opposite of my co-worker. You never heard a word from the GOAT Brady. He was nearly invisible. Now he seems to be battling relevance, age, ego. It will be an interesting couple of years of entertainment. As far as GOAT Brady he's not putting a team on his back anymore. Those days are over. -
5,934 yards and 43 TD's in 7 seasons with the Bills. Josh Brown by comparison, 4,290 yards and 28 TD's in 6 seasons so far. Neither had the best QB's throwing them the ball. Nod to Evans in that area with a slightly higher margin of crap QB's. Another nod to Evans not playing in as much of a passing era. Evans was always a threat to take the top off a defense and was a high character player. We could do a lot worse than Lee Evans.

Who Is Your Least Favorite Bill of All Time ... and Why?
Mikie2times replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Both are white as the OP indicates while simultaneously implying that a black WR just has to drop his Johnson on the field and that will get results (Nothing to see here) -
It will be interesting, I think a lot more for us Bills fans than anybody else. Not only did we live it ourselves (watching a perennial elite team erode as our QB retired) but they're in our division and dominated us for 20 years. Unlike Buffalo, New England had little fan support prior. It is going to be a very sharp decline. Also not that scared of BB. He's damn good, but he showed plenty of signs that he didn't know what the hell to do this year when Brady was sputtering out. People site the Cassel 10-6 year a lot (see what Bill can do without Brady). Well, we will see. I imagine both are gone soon enough, but New England minus the greatest QB of all time is not New England and that statement is true if Brady plays for them or doesn't next year.

Bills need a 4th quarter song

We can still use it ? -
Bills need a 4th quarter song
Mikie2times replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Favorite anthem of all time. Utah State is nasty at home. Buffalo could pull this chant off. 70k+, it would be epic if it became tradition. Fits Bill-leave......hmmmmmmm -

Can Tasker still make the HOF?
Mikie2times replied to Braedenstearns's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think we win the 1993 Divisional game vs the Raiders (one of the coldest games on record) without Taskers kick return, which was truly a remarkable play. We had been shut down on offense prior to that occurring and still needed a lead changing 4th quarter TD to win. While you can't credit him for this as far as the hall is concerned, I wonder what his fate would have been if he played more WR. All reports from that era from offensive players said Tasker was one of the hardest guys to cover, he was always open. He started 8 games in two of his last three seasons at 33 and 34 years old. 41 catches, 627 yards, 6 TD's. He might have made a great WR, we will never know. We do know he is the most respected special teams defender of all time. Hidden yardage is similar to defensive ability in baseball. You don't naturally think in baseball how much value in runs saved defense brings, but in many cases it's substantial. Yards saved has proven to be just as substantial in football. I'm sure if you could measure yards saved, Taskers overall contribution in yards saved should land him in the hall. He should have a good chance of getting in but based on what you said it likely never happens. -
I think it's likely we already saw Jackson's best season. His injury potential combined with an increased ability in defenses shutting down the Ravens run game as they learn more. Part of what made this year so special for him is also what puts a ceiling on him. When you have those athletic skills you don't learn progressions. A Russell Wilson type is about as extreme with mobility as you can be while still developing pocket skills otherwise you just always default to running. Vick was about the closest thing to Lamar we have seen. He did develop his pocket game more after he was reinstated by the league after his athletic skills declined to human levels.

Target WR Breshad Perriman FA Tampa Bay
Mikie2times replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And to be clear, what I saw of Perriman was those last 5 games. I took the total (betting) in two of the 5 final Bucs games of the year. He made plays multiple times where I was just like WTF? I mean angry catches, that's why I referenced Marvin Jones. He's about the only guy I have seen make catches like that the last few years. 50/50 balls, just out muscle the DB and in violent fashion. Crazy. Understood if that isn't the norm for him. Sounds like you have seen much more. But even if it's established as not the norm, just based on his draft status and pedigree he intrigues me. If the light switch flipped on for this guy and they can at odd times for some players, he has the athletic skills to be among the best in football. -
Target WR Breshad Perriman FA Tampa Bay
Mikie2times replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the argument is heavy passing offense, OK, he still needed to make plays with an entire defense knowing he was the only guy who knew the playbook on the field. He did so in pretty spectacular fashion watching the games he played. As a whole it seems like those that don't like him are saying pass. Ok, since we likely don't sign a real #1 or even #2 for that matter and if we draft, he likely isn't worth a crap until his second year, who can we get that you like better than Perriman for next season, a season in which we are supposed to go after a division title? I'll take my chance (which they all seem to feel like) on a guy who seems to be coming into his own, with incredible athletic skills and pedigree. This isn't a break the bank signing, none of them will be. -
Target WR Breshad Perriman FA Tampa Bay
Mikie2times replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He would be good competition for Josh Brown given the fact that we will not sign a true #1 and if we do try and draft one he will not be one next year. -
In 2015 drafted in the 1st round, 6'2, 212 LB's, 4.24 40 yard dash at the combine. Missed Rookie year to knee injury, moderate 2016 season then cut. Signed with Browns and then cut again when OBJ was picked up. Signed with TB this year. After the depletion of all TB's WR core the last quarter of the season was pushed into a #1 WR role. Final 5 games, 25 catches, 506 yards, and 5 TD's. I watched two of those 5 games. His knock coming out was all athlete no football player. He was attacking the football like Marvin Jones when I saw him. High pointing balls all over the field. Out muscling CB's or just running by them. Son of Brett Perriman, so comes from pedigree. I don't think we will land a big name FA WR, but a guy like this, presented with an opportunity to be a WR1. Cost effective, high upside, competition, just what we like. I would love to see us get him.

I watched enough of him and TB to feel solid in my statement. Rivers is certainly on the decline, totally agree with that, but his real bonehead decisions seemed to always come in desperation mode. I think he's the right guy for TB. I expect the defense will be a top 10 unit next year, Evans and Godwin, even Perriman was coming along (I think he is a FA?) <= lets get on that if it's the case(Nearly 500 yards/5 TD's his final 5 games as the primary).. Physical, was high pointing, speed. I'm taking Tampa as my turnaround team if this move goes down.

When you have solid alternatives his ball security would really make me nervous. He almost uses the ball and extends it out to help distract defenders. Maybe you could survive that in is prime but it’s not fooling anybody anymore and horrible fundamentals. That’s said, no issues with Shady. Get the ring. I just wouldn’t be rushing to get him a lot of time time with the options KC has.
