Nick Foles: 7 TD Passes today, Ties NFL Record
John in Jax replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What's more amazing is, checking the stats RIGHT NOW, Philly has run only 46 plays while Oakland has run 66 plays. Yet the Raiders are getting crushed. Raiders only have 1 turnover too. First downs & penalties are about equal. -
Official Bills v Chiefs second half thread
John in Jax replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The "no catch" ruling on the Goodwin play is pretty amazing. I tend not to see things through rose-colored glasses, and that was clearly knocked away by a Chiefs player AFTER he hit the ground AND rolled over. Can't wait to hear the NFL's explanation on that call. -

The real backbreaker is that KC's defense isn't really that good today....just getting lucky with stupid Buffalo plays. -
Official Bills v Chiefs second half thread
John in Jax replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Going in, everyone knew that the Bills needed to keep the turnovers to a minimum. Sad to see it happen this way though.... -

Hindsight is wonderful isn't it? If I knew in 1978 what I know now, I'd be a millionaire just by buying stock. LOL -

In a few years, this league will be flag football! LOL -

Probably because on the previous THREE running plays, right there inside the 2, they got SQUAT. The pass play was a good call, just horrible execution by Tuel. -

Chiefs by 10. Hope I'm wrong. -
Jags WR Justin Blackmon Suspended Indefinitely

Sad thing is he's their best player. -
Annoying Announcers and My Thoughts
John in Jax replied to voodoo poonani's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So judging by some of the posts in here, "they" (ESPN, I guess) have a "D-Team" announcer on Monday Night Football, one of the premiere showcases of the NFL!?!?!? What's their reasoning there? LOL -
Annoying Announcers and My Thoughts
John in Jax replied to voodoo poonani's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What about the MILLIONS of fans who go to a sports bar every week and don't hear one iota of the TV announcers!? LOL They may hear the home team's game, but not the game they're really watching (like when I go to a bar to watch the Bills, but the sound is up for the Jags game only). Be careful with your generalizations. Again, my point is soundly proven by the fact that "bad" announcers will NOT keep you from watching a great matchup, while if it's a crap matchup, "good" announcers won't make you watch it just so you can hear Al & Chris. And honestly, 99% of the "analysis" done by any #2 man in the booth is very obvious. Examples from yesterday: Dallas vs. Detroit, the play before Detroit's winning TD run by their QB, the Cowboys had only single coverage on Megatron on his reception down to the one...Stevie Wonder could have seen that. Another one....Denver vs. Wash., the play where Denver was at the one and initially lined up in a set with 2 in the backfield, and 2 tight ends (they weren't really tight ends though) and it looked like a sure run, then they shifted around and put 3 receivers on the right side, but Wash only had 2 DBs there to cover...it was an easy TD pass for P. Manning. Again, I didn't need any "color commentator" to tell me what I just saw. It ain't rocket science. LOL -
Why is she wearing a Cowboys shirt?

Annoying Announcers and My Thoughts
John in Jax replied to voodoo poonani's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Totally disagree with this post. For me, it's ALL about the game....the teams playing & the action on the field. I can see for myself what's happening, and I usually have the sound down way low for most games. If it's the Jags vs. the Bucs, I don't care who the announcers are, I'm not wasting my time. Conversely, if it's the Broncos vs. the Colts, I want to watch it no matter who's in the broadcast booth. And don't get me started on the total waste of time of "eye candy" sideline reporters who ALWAYS ask the same old idiotic questions which can be adequately answered by ANYONE who has seen the action on the field. Sideline Bimbo: "Coach, you guys had three turnovers in the first half, and you're down 24-3. What do you have to do to get back in this game?" LOL Honestly, it wouldn't matter who was asking those stupid sideline questions; the answers are normally easily answered by anyone with a brain who is watching the game. Is there any football fan, anywhere, who watches a game just because there is eye candy halftime reporters!? So if there was an old, bald, fat guy, we wouldn't watch, even if it was a great matchup? Give me a break, ESPN, FOX, & CBS. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm older and I don't need the audio stimuli like younger folks do, what with your myriad of daily audio potpourri. LOL Btw, I also detest noisy babies and/or children on airplanes, at restaurants, in stores, or virtually anywhere! Now get off my lawn! -
You know what? I just love the wild, zany unbridled enthusiasm of some posters in here! It is uplifting.

We will loose to the saints by how many points???
John in Jax replied to Clippers of Nfl's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No, but TODAY, half the population is functionally illiterate. Lose vs loose, there vs their vs they're, are vs our, your vs you're, to vs too, etc. They are all used incorrectly millions of times a day on social media. Sadly, the "dumbing down" of America has been here for a while now. -

Like I've said many times, it ain't brain surgery out there. LOL -

John in Jax replied to Clippers of Nfl's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mr. Reality here....Saints by at least 2 touchdowns. Those of you predicting that the Saints will be held to under 20 points are delusional. They likely will have 3 TDs by halftime. The fact that they have had 2 weeks to prepare for the Bills' & the Bills' ragtag offense, also weighs heavily in their favor. Of course, I hope I'm wrong. -
To those of you who defend Hackett

The Cincinnati Kid = Nate Hackett's Dad. "Leave my boy alone. He's a football genius!" LOL -
Fantastic insight article about our culture of losing
John in Jax replied to GaryPinC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I didn't follow Marrone when he was at Syracuse, but I'm just curious, what happened there? His record was 25-25, hardly "outstanding." -

John in Jax replied to billsgpr88's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I see that you're new to TSW, and from your post above I am certain you are new to watching professional football. Welcome aboard & enjoy the action! LOL -
Fantastic insight article about our culture of losing
John in Jax replied to GaryPinC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, how is this year much different? Of their 7 games, they've lost 3 "close ones." And looking at the remaining schedule, I see about 3 more wins, maybe 4 if Hell freezes over. LOL -
Just a few things about these Bills
John in Jax replied to DR109's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
BEST post in this thread. And I see no one has bothered to counter it.....because they really can't. -
Official 2nd Half Thread - Bills and Fins
John in Jax replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Like I said in the "Unpopular Opinion" thread....about 50% of the people posting here could step right in and do just as good, if not better, of a job coaching than the slugs who are doing it now. -
Right now, in their game vs. Washington State, Oregon is wearing PINK metalflake helmets and pink shoes. It looks hideous. LOL
