"Experts" Picks week 6 versus the Niners
CodeMonkey replied to CodeMonkey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I doubt it. They beat the Cards who turned out to be a pretender. The Pats with a rookie 3rd string QB with a injured throwing hand, and a Rams team that I don't think even knows who or what they are yet and had been lucky until then. All wins are good wins, but given who they beat and the fact that it is at the Ralph they won't be overlooking the Niners, with or without mega-fro Kaep. -

Create rows in the standing sections with railings. That would be the same as seats in the sections where people stand all game already. -
"Experts" Picks week 5 versus the Rams

I wish I knew. It is very far off from all the other models as well as the humans. -
"Experts" Picks week 5 versus the Rams
CodeMonkey replied to CodeMonkey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Amos model seems to be extremely aggressive this year and weights the most recent game very heavily. Since the Pats got shut out by the Bills and sucked in pretty much every category doing so, it's giving Cleveland the nod this week, Also, it has no concept of individual players so it does not know of Tom Terrifics return. -

Patriots Message board is fantastic right now.

My brother was a fisherman and Bass Pro was his favorite place to go hang out. If you aren't a fisherman it tends to get old real quick. -

CodeMonkey replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah it makes you wonder how any spot fairly out in the open like that could be that far off. Good thing was, it was SO bad that it was an easy call for Rex to challenge, -
Every win is good, every win against the Pats is great by definition. But lets try and not get too far ahead of ourselves. The offense got one TD and 3 FGs. The defense shut out a Pats offense with a gimpy Gronk playing in his first game of the season, and a rookie 3rd string QB with an injury on his throwing hand playing in the second game of his career. Plus the zebras were favoring the Bills for some strange surreal reason and everything was going the Bills way (example being in the TD drive I believe two consecutive passes were tipped at the line and still went right to the Bills receiver, as the TV announcer said when it's your day, it's your day). So long story short, enjoy the win, Bills nation. It is certainly a particularly sweet one. But this team still has a long way to go before TBD gets a block of tickets for the superbowl It certainly was, but it was a Rex coached team move. The Fivethirtyeight model shows the Bills have a 46% chance of beating LA next week, But the model hasn't recalculated using yesterdays games yet. I suspect that will change

Not terribly amazing. The same thing happens here after every loss. -
Theory: Belichick will start Edelman to humiliate Rex
CodeMonkey replied to Marshmallow's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And that's exactly the point, the evil hoodie isn't like Rex at all. Polar opposites in fact which is why if Edleman starts the Bills have a very good chance of stealing that game. -
"Experts" Picks week 4 versus the Pats
CodeMonkey replied to CodeMonkey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Vegas is not a good way to gauge who they think is going to win IMO. They are trying to figure out who the betting public is going to support and adjust the odds to try and balance it out. -

Lower Bowl - Security Asked Us to Sit Down
CodeMonkey replied to jimmy10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes it's an imperfect world. And the Bills need every stubborn old bastard fan they can get. Maybe a seat in the 200's is the [albeit expensive] answer? I suspect they don't stand all game in there. -
Lower Bowl - Security Asked Us to Sit Down
CodeMonkey replied to jimmy10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Corrected. And yes that should be the reasonable expectation as it is the reality of the situation. Sad though, in my opinion anyway, that being short is a reason not to go to games. Actually I do "get it". Which is why I watch the game in 75 minutes with my family during dinner instead of at the stadium. So we all can see and enjoy the 75 minutes of action together without the 2.5 hours of commercials/dead-time. Exactly. But everyone seated tends to minimize the negative effects. At least in my opinion. -
Lower Bowl - Security Asked Us to Sit Down
CodeMonkey replied to jimmy10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At exciting times some, maybe even most, people are going to stand up at least for a while. Everyone understands that I would think. I'm just questioning the logic (i.e. I don't understand the viewpoint) of standing and causing people not to be able to see only during the best/exciting moments of the game as being OK, but standing all of the time which is the best/exciting times and the non-exciting times as not being OK. I would think the decision would be binary. Either it's OK to stand and block the view of those behind you, or it is not OK. The sometimes thing makes no sense to me. -

CodeMonkey replied to jimmy10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wouldn't the same logic to sit apply to the big plays etc. situations as well? It would be OK to block the people behind you from seeing the big plays, last two minutes etc.? That's what I don't get about the "stand sometimes" argument. Been doing that for years. We record and watch commercial and halftime free while eating dinner as a family in about 75 minutes after enjoying the afternoon. Miss tailgating with friends but the benefits far outweigh that for me. -
I agree. Lowest level minor league actually. Teams in the european B leagues would have no trouble with MLS teams. Right now the only name players in the MLS are players who got old and could no longer compete in their previous league, generally in europe. They come to the MLS for that last payday. What is helping soccers popularity is the amount of quality european soccer you can see on TV here now, much of it live on weekends. But it has been and will continuie to be slow growth in it's popularity until teams in the US can compete at a world level.

What in the !@#$ing hell are you talking about?!?!? -
Not at all. Tackling and hard clean hits are part of the game (at least until it turns into flag football). What I am saying is deliberately attempting to injure anyone is a douchebag thing to do, period.
