Allen’s weapons relative to Tenn/KC
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Even withput Brown our WR are still as good overall as most others. TE doesn't even bother me that much as with the WR group we have, how manyh targets would be left even with an elite TE RB though is a concern right now. Maybe the issue will fix itself when Feleciano returns?? -
Think he was with the Bills last season actually, though not sure a guy who has issues from 40 to 49 is any better
-
Wow, am shocked, but guessing that was the paln all along, they just never expected to be 3-3 and one game off the lead. Does seem like a huge risk of losing the team if this blows up which a good chance it will just because rookies typically struggle. Does make me wonder if this came down from above.

Going for 2 at 23-16
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And did you really think KC was going to be held to a field goal on their last drive? I thought kicking was the right mindset, else you're already telling the defense I know you can't stop them, to me very much a losers mentality. -
Yeah well still haven't heard your brilliant solution either there champ!

The LB Situation Moving Forward
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe it is the injury, that he knows he can't just play normal, he has to make guesses as to what is going to happen in front of him to be in poistion to make the play with one shoulder. Then when guesses wrong, he's becomes useless. Add on top of that with only two years experience, he can't rely on guessing that much, needs to use his athleticism, but can't. I'm wondering it's one of these injures that won't get worse by playing, but also won't get better without surgery and surgery would be season ending so will just try and play through it. If they thought a week or two of rest would help, likely they would, but may be the type of injury that rest won't help? -
Way to cherry pick stats! Lets not look at what he did last season, just overall career. Yes Hausch WAS a very good kicker for eight seasons prior until 2018 and 2019. Those two years his percent was 78.5% also below the league average. Last year was 1 of 5 beyond 50 yards and the year prior 4 of 7. And BTW Hausch first two seasons his stats were below 68% , took him until 3rd full season before he got his average up above the league average. When you've only taken 9 kicks hard to make much of any argument about stats so can throw out Hausch first season too as even more limited. One of Bass's kicks may have even been good, which when you only took 9 kicks, one more being good would raise his percent to around 78%, gee identical to Hausch last two seasons.

People need to check themselves
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Watkins90's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oliver is playing with a leg still likely not 100%, heard this was the first game without a knee brace. Doubt Edmunds shoulder is OK. Won't be surprised if a couple weeks after the season ends, you hear he's having surgery one it. Likely one of these injuries that playing on it won't make it worse, but basically he's playing with one arm. Milano missed three complete games and didn't finish two others, played a total of a little over two whole games. Norman and Wallace have both been active and healthy for about ten minutes this year. H Phillips is about one full year beyond ACL injury By my account we've lost 5 games by starters on defense and 4 on offense. Did we lose nine games of starters to injury all of last season total? Many teams have lost players to injury, or even didn't bring back many starters from last season, where as we did, think it was 18 starters total. So why in particular on the defensive side are we playing so bad, injuries and don't think this team has much depth there to overcome. In the past Beane has been given great credit for finding gems like a Jordan Phillips, this year excluding Williams the tackle, Beane's luck may have run out in that regard. -
OK so a rookie with no pre-season missed a 52 yarder in the rain, he failed. So what exactly is your solution? Kept Hause? How many 50 yard kicks did he miss. Think he missed two last week in fact. Bass is the least of our problems right now.
-
Well from that distance only about 60% are made to start with and there isn't an extra start I could find for in the rain, which I'd imagine would drop that 60% under 50% I guess by your logic if they send him in to make a 70 yarder and he misses, he failed.

This game is not all Josh Allen’s fault.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to BuffaloBills1998's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He struggled with some throws early, but then they went to running almost every play. Good idea if working well , but it wasn't. Allen really wasn't given enough chances to say it was his fault or not. The one drive in Q4 when they needed to score fast, he did deliver 5 for 5 was it. I do think Allen struggles a bit with nerves at the beginning of games, would rahter see them run on first series more and let him settle down some. -
He made one of two and think KC only ran one kick out of the end zone so to say he failed is a huge over reach. Particularly when the one miss was from 52 yards in the rain.

Biggest reason we lost today.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Allen2Moulds's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is it that teams are playing to stop longer completions, will give up dink and dunk stuff, but they know Allen won't take those throws often enough. Easy solution would be to run the ball but with limited success there to, makes it easy to stop. Am wondering if return of Feleciano will turn run game around? Who knows if Fors injury is anything serious we may be back to Spain and Feleciano at guard again like last year. -
Bills inactives for Chiefs game
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah that one surprises me too, seemed like much of stopping the Raiders in the 2nd half was due to switching him over to other DT slot and he did well. -
OK so the clock started on 10/7, was wondering what the date was. Seemed like with Norman you heard a bit of his progress once the clock started, not a whole lot then either but at least something. Here haven't heard anything since the first day that they announced he had practiced.
-
Switching back up QB's in mid season isn't something a team does unless forced to by injury. If we decide off season to make a change fine, now, bad idea.
-
Haven't seen anything regarding the status of Feleciano in the last ten days or so?? I believe there's usually a specific date they have to be activated by once they started practicing?
-
Am I missing something or wasn't our kick coverage and kick return units one of the highest rated in the league prior to last weeks game? Is Farwell somehow singling from the sideline to Roberts to run them out? Or is it just bad choices from Roberts? Likely the game plan is any kickoffs less than "X" yards into the endzone, you run our. Was Tenn kicking them higher but short so the distance was in the range to run out, but maybe with extra hang time allowed Tenn to cover well. Would think it would be rather difficult for the kickoff return guy to accurately judge hang time to then make a split second decision as to whether to run it out or not.

Slot CB - Immediate Upgrade Required?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to freddyjj's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There was an article in todays Athletic that also mentioned Desmond King to the Bills. Once Wallace comes back could he solve the nickel spot? Then have White, Norman, Wallace?? Or is Wallace outside only? -
Thoughts on Ryan Kerrigan?

Trick Question! If you avoided the internet, how could you answer this? And yes I tend to avoid the internet -
