Post season struggles and struggled repeatedly with very talented teams. Don't think Reid has struggled quite as much YET as Marty. But do think a couple more years in KC with unexpected exits from the playoffs and he may get fired here and he then may suffer the same fate where no one else selects him.

Don't see Mike Tomlin on the list. Last year many were calling for him to go, with the latest meltdown losing 4 of the last 5 is it, can see him going. It's a similar situation to what was going on in Green Bay. Competitive every year, won a SB few seasons back, but each year getting just a little worse than the year prior.

Vikings Fire OC John DeFilippo
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Goes to show you for all those who claimed we're doomed for not have some offensive mind genius as the HC, it's a total crap shoot when it comes down to who you select.. -
Would be a certain irony if the last game determines Miami's chance for the playoffs. Last season the Bills last game was in Miami which they won to make the playoffs, this could be pay back one way or the other. But overall wouldn't be unhappy with 3 losses. The Detroit game may be the most winnable of the three.

Also think early in the season, the O-line was much weaker. The team did alot of experimenting in training camp and pre-season with lineups. The down side of that is little time to build and continuity which probably of all the position groups in football, the O-line is the most important. Think QB play also suffered there for the same reason, but not many other options there. Hopefully they siign a couple strong FA for the line so the lineup is set in training camp

OK. I'll Say It-Allen will be best Bills QB ever
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to beacon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know, Cleveland could/should be predicted as a playoff contender next season. Depending how Allen plays the next 4 games and off-season moves the Bills make (big Fa signings are completed prior to schedule being released) could see a Monday night. Last year they put the Jet's on the 1st Monday of the season. Granted Buffalo and Cleveland are not large TV draws. -

I'll make this prediction, next season the Bills play the Browns. I'll predict it will be either a Monday or Thursday night game, to showcase Allen vs Mayfield, likely early part of the season to increase odds both are still playing, ie. not out for injury and also early incase one of them ends up a 2nd year slump, early on may not know yet so better ratings. -
Trade for Sean Lee in the off-season
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Rufridr101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As was pointed out, quite often only two LB's on the field. Makes little sense to pay big bucks, or give up draft picks or other resources for someone who's not on the field all the time. You don't need three top level LB's, infact when using three, having two on the field that are very good will make the third one look much better on his own. -
NFL looking at changes to Punting
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Think they need to do something different on kickoffs, to still give teams a shot at recovering an on-sides kick. Not that the odds were ever very good, but became terrible. -
Is Josh Allen faster than Tyrod Taylor???
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Mac14's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Also much stronger, so if you get one hand on him, he's not as likely to go down as TT was. Once he starts running have to worry more about Allen still throwing as he can still make a strong throw even across his body. -
Julio Jones and the 2019 Bills
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Estelle Getty's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's my keeper on my fantasy team and HAS shown many signs of slowing down. But think that's more to do with Ryan having many other options besides Julio. Believe he has 2 years left on contract. I wouldn't give up a 1st though, if Atlanta is ready to move on likely he'd be available for much less, maybe a 3rd or 2nd a most. Teams know you don't give up 1st rounders for a 30 yo think Atlanta realizes that too. -
Why is the punter the holder?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to NakedSquid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Probably because during practice the punter is the one other guy besides the kicker and the long snapper with nothing else to do, so have him hold. Agreed using backup QB would give more options but for the couple times a year in may come into play, probably teams don't feel it's worth it. For years wasn't Frank Reich the holder?
