Will the Jets and the Patriots be tanking the last two games?
Albany,n.y. replied to tomur67's topic in The Stadium Wall
FO yes, coaches no. In the Tyrod example, Pegula decided to bench Tyrod & fired the coach. What I don't know is if Rex wanted to start Tyrod and if that led to his immediate firing. -

Neither the Jets nor the Patriots will be tanking. The Jets are more likely to lose their last 2 than the Patriots because in the season finale, THE BILLS, will be de facto tanking by resting the starters. We might even see Frank Gore Jr getting carries at RB. The most interesting tank will be the Giants/Eagles finale. Will the Eagles, who appear to be locked into their playoff spot, tank the final game in an attempt to hurt the Giants draft spot? Awfully tempting to keep a division rival from getting a QB who could haunt them for years. -

Get Gregg Williams for $50 & he'll tell the groom he'll put a bounty on him if he cheats. -
Ravens/Texans, Christmas Day Game 2 (no Bills talk please)

FM. The game is bad enough without having to watch it. Ryan Leaf is the color guy on the radio broadcast. -

RGIII was Lamar's backup. He figures anyone who kept him on the bench must be MVP. 😃 -

Tony Soprano isn't a real person. I guess you never watched much MLB where managers lose it all the time when arguing with umpires. Go look up Earl Weaver, Billy Martin, Lou Pinella and their antics that caused them to get thrown out of games. The reason they did this was to fire up their teams and often times they got the desired effect.

The most crying I've seen by a player is when Dexter Manley got banned by the NFL & cried like one of those preachers caught either stealing money or molesting people. For years I mocked Manley's press conference as the "I have sinned against the NFL" retirement. As far as football players crying, just watch a big time player retire or during a HOF induction speech. Plenty of tears & nobody condemns their emotional response (except for maybe the OP).

Then they see the Jets go for 4th down on their own 33 & put the Rams in immediate field goal range. Same Old Jets. -

Flag on the play: Giving Mahomes the stink eye. -
My biggest mistakes were loving the trade up for JP, then when he proved me wrong, thinking his replacement, Trent Edwards would be the next Joe Montana.

They outsmarted the 6 teams that could have drafted Josh before the trade up. The only team that might not regret it is the final team of the 6, Tampa Bay, who used some of the picks acquired to help them win the Super Bowl with Brady. The rest have been mostly trash since 2018 although Indy had no idea Luck would retire. The worst is the Giants who one year later drafted Daniel Jones. They didn't outsmart Arizona, who also wanted Josh, they had the draft capital to outbid them. In reality, it was the Bills & Arizona who were the smart ones, but then Arizona picked an all-time bust, Mr. 9 mistakes.

When Doug Flutie signed with the Chargers I signed up for their board to troll on him. I named myself Traitor on their board because by posting on another team's board I was being a traitor to the Bills.

Josh Allen gets his perfect Christmas gift: Elvis Presley
Albany,n.y. replied to RobbRiddick's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why didn't they give him the Elvis from the stadium? -
2004: I blame Donahoe for not having the guts to offer enough to get into the top 10 & draft Roethlisberger. Remember, we started at 21 & went all the way up to 7 to draft Josh because Beane was willing to toss the draft value charts aside & do whatever it took to get his QB. There's no way that JP Losman would have ever been a decent starter in the NFL. He just didn't have it-he had one of the most respected offensive minds in the NFL coaching him, Sam Wyche, and couldn't be developed. Jauron hired the right guy to develop Losman & JP didn't have the goods. The Losman trade cost the Bills the chance to draft Aaron Rodgers with the pick that they traded to Dallas. So they did F up picking a great QB when they had a real opportunity to grab one. None of the draft capital from the Mahomes trade was used to draft Allen. Allen's trade involved 1st trading our own pick 21 to Cincinnati with Glenn to move up to 12 & then dealing our own 2nd rounder & the 2nd rounder acquired from the Rams in the Watkins trade plus pick 12 to move up to 7.

The whole article was very reminiscent of Ralph's years. He allegedly fired Polian because Polian disrespected Ralph's daughter's scouting opinions & called her the C word.

Penix officially replaces Kirk Cousins in ATL
Albany,n.y. replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
I believe the hit rates & failure rates are based on talent & it works for sitting or playing BUT I don't believe talented QBs are ruined. A bad organization can stymie a young QB, but if he has the talent, he'll eventually show it. A bad QB will never show it & all he will do is get his coach fired. Best examples of guys who played as rookies & learned more from their mistakes than by sitting & watching are Josh Allen, Peyton Manning, John Elway, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, & Russell Wilson. I believe Josh learned a lot more by playing than watching. A MESSAGE BOARD is for OPINIONS. You're saying your opinions, I'm saying mine. That's why we are here. -
Penix officially replaces Kirk Cousins in ATL
Albany,n.y. replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Name the great QB talents that are being wasted. I vote nobody. Fans use the ruined excuse when their team's scouts, GMs & coaches pick QB unsuited to play in the NFL with high draft picks. More like good coaches' talents are being wasted by bad QBs. Guys like Rosen, Z. Wilson, D. Jones, etc are coach killers, not the other way around. -
Penix officially replaces Kirk Cousins in ATL
Albany,n.y. replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cousins has always looked better on paper than on the field. He parlayed a mediocre career into a stat boy's dream & enough GMs bought it to make him a very rich man. I remember in 2018 there were plenty of posters on Bills message boards advocating for the Bills to sign Cousins & save all their draft picks. I was rooting for the Jets to sign him since I'd seen enough of his pumped up on paper career to not want him anywhere near the Bills. Cousins is a classic example why I've always dismissed QB stats in favor of visually evaluating a QB. -
Why hasn't the Samuel signing worked?
Albany,n.y. replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Was productive in Car & Wash. Maybe he can get a job at Delta Sonic. -
Bad survey! The biggest problem is outside of Benford & Johnson, nobody in our defensive backfield should be starting in the NFL. Douglas has played away any contract extension. Stop blaming the D line & coach for the lack of talent at CB & S. The D line weren't the ones letting Nacua & Cupp become spokesmen for 7-11.
