Do the "look at me" actions of Shaq and Oliver bother you?
Bob in STL replied to PUNT750's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I never notice their celebrations to be worse than any others. I was sick of the excessive celebrations 25 years ago. Now it’s so common no one really cares -
Individual stat are not the most thing in the defense we play.

It is expected that you work in the off season with your QB. Nothing groundbreaking about it. I mean like not complaining about how many targets you get in a game, then dropping the ones you do get. If we draft a WR in the first round I want him to be better than Sam Watkins. Bigger, stronger, more durable, more reliable and someone who fits in.

Great point about liking one player does not mean you have to not like another. A real football fan knows this. He is correct. 1983 draft first round - Elway, Marino, Kelly were all great HoF. Blackledge, O’Brien and Eason were all average or below. I don’t recall the media hating the other three. They had years to play and prove themselves without ridicule. Today the expectations on QBs are unrealistic. The media coverage is over the top. The media has lowered their standards to the same thing that fans tweet about or spout out on forums. They should be better than that.

I was there in a Dallas at the game with 12 family members. Great game. Bills Mafia was loud and proud. I did not see too many over the top fans, just a great atmosphere and a well earned win. This team is really starting to gel. For the McDermott haters, several Cowboys fans in my section told me that McDermott is impressive and they wish they can lure him away from us.

With every game, Beane looks better
Bob in STL replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Beane did a good job on the OL so far. One of the biggest issues for the Offense to overcome was the lack of time together, especially the OL with only 1 of 5 starters returning. The entire offense has 9 new players in the starting 11. Not over spending is great. Now I think they need to draft more good players and WR, OT, and RB positions all need more help next year. -
Bills @ Cowboys, Thanksgiving Day - 4:30
Bob in STL replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My wife and I will be going to Dallas to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. We have tickets for the game. Friday will be our family Thanksgiving dinner. This will be fun. I would love to see them win. They are playing better the past few weeks, yes the competition has not been strong but the progress the Bills have made is undeniable. McD must get them ready. Play fearless and smart. Don’t let the bright lights distract. A win against Dallas will provide the Bills with credibility and confidence. I think they can do it. -
He never was a bust. Who comes up with this crap?

Jerry Sullivan on our podcast: Anecdote about McDermott
Bob in STL replied to gomper's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like McDermott. I think he has a hard job and he does it well. Not perfect but improving in many ways. I think he can get better and improve the team. I could not care less what the media thinks about him. He just needs to be decent and moral and win. Jerry on the other hand, well I do not think his job is nearly as hard, and it’s not even important. Jerry is not important and I do not value his opinion, so I don’t read his stuff or listen to him. My respect for the media is at an all time low. They are entertainment, they are not some special service of educated insiders looking out for our interests. No matter if it’s sports, world news, politics, even some local news, its pretty much a business - with sponsors - all bought and paid for. -
Roll Call. Buffalo vs Dallas there in Arlington
Bob in STL replied to CowgirlsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am going with wife and some kin. Gonna win in Jeruh’s house. -
Buffalo is not the only city in the NFL that gets cold weather or snow, there are lots that do. But it gets the most publicity for it. I do gt tired of hearing about snow, or blue collar, or nothing to do in Buffalo - there is tons to do but Buffalo will it will never have the night club scene of Miami, NY, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, etc. So find the players that put less value on partying and more on other ways to spend time. I like what McD and Beane are building.

Can the Detractors Now Admit Allen's Growth?
Bob in STL replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Allen showed great strides today. The Cleveland game was very disappointing. Maybe Daboll in the box helps? Maybe Miami being a very poor team helps too? Keep on progressing Josh!! -
Anyone else think Bills will dominate on Sunday?
Bob in STL replied to ShakAttack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I just hope McD’s “play with no fear” comments resonate with 5he players and the coaches. Play, coach, and game plan “with no fear”. Give the dam ball to Singletary, block and run hard, pass downfield without fear, play run defense, kill their QB, take the ball away from them, oh and do something good on special team too. -
Is there a role for Tyler Kroft on the Bills?
Bob in STL replied to Phil The Thrill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kroft is decent when healthy, however, I think Knox is already better and had a much higher ceiling. Right now I would be dressing Knox, Kroft and Sweeney. Seen enough of Lee Smith, when we need a “big blocking set” put out Sweeney or another tackle or both. Next year I bring in another TE and move on from Kroft. Knox’s development and Kroft’s injuries make him way overpaid for his contribution. -
True considering some of the backups are of very marginal NFL talent. Not true if if you want to avoid distractions, which every team in the league has the right to do. I have no no issue with any team signing him, except for Buffalo. I don’t think he would fit in. We are invested in Allen and Barkley is a decent backup. Now if Peterman were still around I would want to look at Kaepernick.

This is a game I should worry about. Dolphins playing inspired football and would love to win a division game. The game in Miami. Normally this would be major choke game number 1. So it probably won’t be. McD is telling them to put petal on metal so maybe this week the offense plays great and we win 31-13 like we should.
