Alphadawg7 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I wasnt sure if you are only talking about the current roster but my favorite myth of the last 20 years is 'CJ Spiller would excel if the coaches can get him in space' Im not afraid to own up to the fact that Spiller fooled me. He put up a big season and seemed poised to really break out the next year, but he fizzled the rest of his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Myth: firing Rex will bring back the excellent 2014 defense he ruined. Reality: there are 4 players left from that 2014 defense. A broken down warrior (Kyle), a fat pot head (Marcel), a slow linebacker (Brown), and good but not great pass rusher (Hughes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of my favorite myth. The myth of the 'defensive genius' Nope truth= disorganized, lazy, undisciplined slob who rode nepotism and Marvin Lewis's coat tails to notoriety and HC only to get fired twice for the same reasons.

John from Riverside Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Myth: firing Rex will bring back the excellent 2014 defense he ruined. Reality: there are 4 players left from that 2014 defense. A broken down warrior (Kyle), a fat pot head (Marcel), a slow linebacker (Brown), and good but not great pass rusher (Hughes). Yeah.....but those were key guys.... Kyle was still very productive last year Marcel is the key to the whole thing Brown might not even start with the LB that are now on the team I think Hughes is really underated.........he is a VERY good pass rusher. He just needs help. And imo just because certain guys were not on the team doesnt mean they wont excel in this defense guys like Michah Hyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately, that the Bills have a huge home field advantage. They don't, at least recently. Nor is it accurate to look at the weather in Orchard Park and claim that it is remarkably different than other places the Bills play in Nov/Dec other than Miami.

BarleyNY Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 My point exactly, Yes...screens in college work amazing because you have 6'4" Sammy against a 6' kid from Georgia Tech who is studying to be a podiatrist. One huge reason bubble screens work so much better in college than in the NFL is that he NCAA allows blocking downfield prior to the pass if the ball is caught behind the LOS. The NFL obviously doesn't allow that as it'd be a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

re enlightener Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 sammy ran one last year, he tried has hard has he could to fall down when someone got near him but everyone kept getting blocked, he ended up running 20 yards sideways and 4 yards forward when he could have manned up and taken it to the house. He is just too scared to get hurt and wants to go down tim brown style. When will you all here get a clue of how afraid he is to take any contact??? its why hes ran 1 screen in 3 years, coaches saw it, when will you?

So you're saying we don't run WR screens because Sammy says so? I find that hard to believe. I'm pretty sure we don't run screens to Sammy because they aren't effective (unlike his college days where he was defended by future podiatrists and Hyundai finance managers) *embellishment* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Incorrect! My theory is sound...if you can show me how well Sammy has run a "bubble screen" in the NFL, I will re-evaluate. And? I remember a game where The Bills simply torched Miami all game long with about 16 screen plays - most to Thurman and Andre. Marv was laughing about it after the game. Good times.

Maybe: Ralph is frugal - except when he's not? Yeah, I was playing along. Goodell was more than happy to protect the shield and largely spare NE when it saved face for the league. Destroyed tapes anyone? The forfeiture of one late first round draft pick for multiple SB wins was a joke. He has looked the other way a lot when it has come to PEDs and cheating. He doesn't like pushback or defiance though. That'd be evident with Deflategate and Bountygate. He quietly told the Saints to shut down their bounties when they first came to light and only nailed them after they defied him. He cut Josh Gordon some slack until he lied to him, then it was over. No more mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
