83 yard run. Sean McDermott made an interesting comment.
JohnNord replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s a waste of a timeout in that situation. -
He played a better individual game than Josh Allen

When do you typically get big game, game day anxiety?
JohnNord replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
Since the team has gotten good I get so anxious on game day. TBH I don’t really like how much the the outcome of the game can effect my mood. But once you’re a fan there’s not much you do -
I agree. McDaniel is very good with play design which is part of the reason why you saw some many open WR’s last season. Also he’s helped Miami develop a decent running game despite not have a great OL or and a low-end RB I also think he’s a big reason why Tua played so well last season. IMO it isn’t as much about him as a QB, as it is about the offense McDaniel built based on his strengths. As a head coach, I think he’s very corny though he’s sometimes his comments are funny. So many have made the comparison to Rex Ryan in that aspect which I have to agree with.

I came away from this game thinking not overly impressed with Detroit. They had one very good drive but aside from that the offensive game plan wasn’t great. Hutchinson was a beat defensively and KC got away with so many calls. Still, if Toney doesn’t drop those passes they might not get the W. Overall I see Detroit in a similar position as last season. Good news for them is that the teams in their division are relatively weak

Concerning tweets from Roger Saffold.

Damn…I hope he gets the help he needs -
Speculation and discussion on Bills final roster cuts
JohnNord replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t think happens. If all goes well both Dodson and Spector will be special teamers and reserve MLB’s. Dodson is better on ST and at MLB. I don’t see the Bills cutting him for Spector. -
Chad Kelly (Jim Kelly's nephew) is highest paid player in CFL
JohnNord replied to Old Coot's topic in The Stadium Wall
Did you ever noticed how despite being a local home-grown athlete and an legendary uncle who is synonymous with the franchise, Kelly never got any kind of tryout with the Bills? The rumor was that Jim advocated for the t Bills to stay away from Chad since he’s be surrounded by some many old vices and bad influences. Many believe that John Elway taking as the final pick in 2017 was done as a favor for Jim. The crazy thing is that even after sabotaging his career multiple times, Chad’s NFL stint was progressing well in Denver until Von’s Halloween party -
Will boogie basham be the next Wyatt Teller for Beane?
JohnNord replied to Coldfronts's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Wyatt Teller is the reason why the Bills have gotten behind Spencer Brown. Unfortunately, I don’t see Brown as “the next Wyatt Teller” -
Will boogie basham be the next Wyatt Teller for Beane?
JohnNord replied to Coldfronts's topic in The Stadium Wall
All Pro Boogie Basham? I don’t know about that…while Boogie definitely looked better than he had in previous years, the bottom line was that he couldn’t beat out UDFA Kingsley Jonathan. Even if he did, he would be the 5th or 6th DE on the team. Even with a DL rotation, where was he going to get snaps? If anything I think he could be the next Isaiah Hodgins. A player that was buried on the depth chart with the Bills that left for a team which gave him more opportunities that he made the most of. I’m sure some fans will continue to whine about it too. Some fans will point to Isaiah Hodgkins. He turned out of be a solid WR with NYG, but he’s far from an All-Pro -
This is an establish fact. There are beat reporters that said his pickup would often leave the facility around 4:30 PM. Plus we know he drove to Cleveland with Rob to watch the WS on Wednesday - usually the biggest day of preparation during the week
-
IMO it was a talent issue. It was Allen throwing deep, or to Allen-to-Diggs and really nothing else. The biggest problem was the OL. The pass protection was so poor that Josh had no trust they could do the job. He was so used to scrambling for his life, he’d bail on pockets that he didn’t need to. Complimenting a poor OL was a lack of any kind of running game. Even with light boxes, the OL could barely move anyone. Then it was a talent issue at WR. This year the starting slot WR - Isaiah McKenzie might not even make the roster in this years WR room. Hoping the new weapons and experience give Dorsey more answers
-
This is a good point. Even if he’s not as good as Edmunds last season, I think it’s very plausible that he’s a better overall option than Bernard and much better than Dodson. It sounds like, at worst, Kirksey is a better version of AJ Klein
-
If the last preseason game is any indicator, you saw a lot of quick passes to Hardy to move the chains and an improved running game. I think this is definitely going to be part of their game next season.
-
Where was the article!?!?!? LOL In regard to Dorsey, Tim Graham made some interesting points how he could could be set up better for success this season. The fact that McDermott has taken over some defensive play calling duties takes a little pressure off Dorsey and maybe gives him a little more space/freedom - as more of McDermott’s time will be spend on defense. Every position in 2023 is stronger than 2022, which should open more possibilities and give him a stronger counterpunch. Dorsey will have a year’s worth of experience as OC which should help him next season. Yes and no. Numbers can be a little deceiving. The Bills offense was largely boom or bust last season, especially toward the final few weeks. You also saw more games where turnovers or bad drives allowed teams to crawl back into games - such as the wildcard playoff game. The good news, is I feel a lot of this was derived from the fact that the Bills had a liability at LG and RT last season, as well as some limitations with what the available weapons could do. Hopefully the new additions help take care of this.

I love how @Buffalo619jumped on the Bills like they made a mistake getting rid of him 😂 I’m happy for Cody and not trying to downplay him making the team. But it’s not like Cody was named the starter. He’s the 4th OT on the team, a position he was removed from in 2019 because he struggled against athletic edge rushers. Still he deserves credit for working hard and making the team after two disappointing stops in Buffalo and Arizona.
-
From what I read, he was having a very good preseason, which doesn’t mean much considering he was playing with backups against backups. BUT Kyle Allen was I a. Similar situation and didn’t look so great…so who knows? I think the KC intel angle is somewhat overplayed.
-
1992!?!?! You were an early adopter. How did everyone compile the stats?
-
You are right about Harty… he’s more than a gadget guy and runs good routes. His biggest challenge might be staying healthy. As soon as they drafted Josh Downs fairly early, I thought it was going to be a battle for him to stay on the roster

Meanwhile in Foxboro, "In the End There Can Be Only One"
JohnNord replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
This could be true but from what I saw last season Zappe looked like your typical mid-round rookie QB. Nothing great but a few flashes that made you think he could be a decent backup -
This is a REALLY interesting move. I’m surprised he signed with the PS when he likely could’ve gotten a spot in a roster. Also, I think the move potentially puts Dodson on the bubble.

JohnNord replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is so weird. It reads as a bizarre display of loyalty to Mac Jones who was on the hot seat last season. -
Colts grant Jonathan Taylor’s request to seek trade
JohnNord replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
I love how some bad actors and podcast hosts from Miami’s were hyping up Tuesday like the deal for Taylor was a certainty. Then they had to come up for excuses when it didn’t and face the wrath of angry deflated fins fans! -
It’s not Miami… they can’t afford Bosa plus next year they are already over the cap by a lot and that doesn’t take into account re-signing Tua, Wilkins, and Waddle. Not happening.
