    Yes. If they can use Hawkeye to spot a tennis ball that's moving 135 MPH and compresses as it hits the ground to within a millimeter, they can use it to spot a football.


    It’s not that simple in football though. You’re not just figuring out where the ball is, you’re spotting it at the exact moment when a knee/elbow/butt hits the ground.


    They’d need sensors all over every player and better f’n Bluetooth tech to synch it all up than I use to synch my speakers.


    It’s possible, but it’s not nearly as easy as fans make it out to be.

    What’s your favorite Bills opening day game?

    September 10, 1989. Dolphins led 24-13 in the 4th quarter. The Bills came back to score two touchdowns: the first, a TD catch by Flip Jonson; the second TD came on the last play of the game---a two-yard QB keeper that Kelly took to the endzone, diving in between two Dolphins defenders as the game clock expired. And then the  team piled on Kelly in the end zone in celebration. Bills win in Miami 27-24. Although this wasn't their first year together, they didn't have all of the pieces yet, and they ultimately did not reach the Super Bowl that season, that game down in Miami seemed to be the start of it all, imo, for the "90s" Bills and really set the tone for what was to happen over the next 5-7 years. 

     

     

     

    This is the first one that came to mind for me. I remember how ecstatic I was as a kid when Kelly scored. Coming off the loss to Cincy in the '88 AFCCG I was sure the Bills had finally arrived. I was right.

     

    The other game is the 2003 trouncing of the Pats after the Lawyer signing. After years of suffering at the hands of the Pats I had thought to Bills had closed the gap and had finally arrived. I was wrong.

    Josh Allen vs Ravens stats

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by MDH

    I saw the “highest completion percentage 55%” part of the post and thought, “ I don’t remember him struggling with completions in the playoffs.

     

    Low and behold I check Allen’s stats and he was 16/22. That’s 72.7%. 

     

    Maybe the rest of the stats are legit but I’m not bothering looking them up.

     

    EDIT: Just checked the 2020 playoff game. 23/37. 62.1%. Yeah, for real I’m not looking up any more.

    I expect him to be on the practice squad here


    No only do I think he’ll be on the PS, I’m guessing if Tre can’t go week 1 he’ll be elevated and be the week 1 starter.

    Good Night / Bad Night - Pre-season game 3

    Well to be fair, the Bills defense has had plenty of players that "do all the little things" but then always fail to make a big play in a big moment. Fans maybe have gotten a bit sick of that archetype. So I think having a DL who might be the inverse of that is a great addition to the roster. Consistency is important but splash plays win games. Walker looks like a splash play waiting to happen.

     

     

    Splash plays might appear to win big games but if you're out of position over and over again you can also cost a team games and many fans might be unware it's even happening. Ideally a player can be do both.

    most people were impressed with Walker and asked where Sanders was. You nailed it that Walker is Jordan Phillips reincarnated. A boy that can penetrate and make splash plays. But Sanders did the grunt work taking on double teams yesterday, not getting fooled on the screen pass that Deon did. Sanders was off the field before Walker was because Walker made some bad plays too. He seems to like to spin when in run defense leaving vacated gaps, and he did get pushed around. I am very excited about the two DTs, but I think Sanders had a more consistent night last 


    This has been what I’ve seen most pre-season as well. Walker gets a few splash plays that get everyone’s attention but Sanders has been the better - more consistent- player who does all the little things that don’t always get noticed. 
     

    So far I’m pleased with both of these picks and I think they’ll both make positive contributions to this DL this year. I think the interior DL will be better this year. 

     

    Landon Jackson, on the other hand, I think is at least a year away. Baring injury I don’t think he gets a jersey on game days.

    Last night while watching the Bengals - Commanders I was surprised the Bengals played Burrow as long as they did. He was getting hit and sacked a few times as well. I am glad the Bills don't do that with Allen although it probably wouldn't hurt if Josh would get one series in these preseason games.


    Yeah, they’ve started slowly the past couple of years and those losses have cost them at the end. As such they’re trying to get everyone ramped up.

     

    Zac Taylor’s on the hot seat and knows he needs to make the playoffs this year or he’s probably gone.

    Bills hosting Gabe Davis for visit

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by MDH

    Gabe Davis as the starting X and Gabe Davis as the back up X are two different things. Not sure why it’s so binary for some. I hated Gabe as the #2 option on this offense. As the 4-5? I’d take that. 

     

    Im intrigued by the idea mostly because the Bills have nobody who can- legit- line up at the X except Coleman. We have a bunch of slots or slot/Z hybrids. 
     

    All that said I don’t think it’ll happen. Might be nothing more than a ploy to light a fire under Samuel’s ass.

    I don't understand the "visit" part of this. Does he sit down with Beane and McD and they ask him, "so, tell us a little about yourself."

    Elijah Moore.......I think he is trending toward not making the roster

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    It’s hard to get a read on these things outside of the building. It’s possible Moore could be cut but here’s a quote from Joe Buscaglia’s Atlantic article about the joint practice on Friday. 
     

    Quote

    In team drills, Allen connected with Joshua Palmer on three passes, Elijah Moore on three, Coleman on two, tight end Dalton Kincaid on two and Dawson Knox on two, while running backs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson had one each. The four receivers who lined up most with Allen throughout team drills were Coleman, Palmer, Moore and Tyrell Shavers.

    Allen’s rapport with Palmer, Coleman, Moore and Kincaid might be the most meaningful in McDermott’s decision. Allen completed all but three passes to that group during team drills, and one was a drop by Kincaid. 


    I’m not sure how much Moore’s performance in pre-season game 2 without Allen will impact things.

     

    I do think that McD is getting frustrated with Samuel’s continued absence though.

    James Cook: "Business" man

    I think people really underestimate how much better this offense is with a dynamic back like Cook. As other people have mentioned, the Bills haven't had a dynamic back since Shady. Davis and Ty are good backs and good at what they do, but Cook can do things either of them cannot.  When you are in a SB window, find ways to elevate your team. Dynamic players are needed to win big games

     

    The Bills are coming off one of the best statistical seasons off all time and fans are upset about one social media post, that they are willing to blow it up


    And Davis and Ty do things Cook cannot. It’s a good RB room with complimentary skill sets.

    Sirius and others said he was having an amazing camp. 


    He seems like always play well when given the opportunity…guy just can’t stay on the field despite limited playtime. As a backup the most important thing you can do is be healthy when needed.
