National Anthem (Cameron Jefferson)
dpberr replied to bmur66's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Not me. The man has the right to protest. He's doing it peacefully and he's not violating any NFL rule (as far as I know.) -
Dareus sent home for violating a team rule
dpberr replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd cut him and wouldn't look back. I've had this opinion since his last suspension. He's just a larger Josh Gordon. The inevitability is that he will get suspended indefinitely by the league and the Bills don't have to have that anchor around their necks. Let some other franchise take that risk. He's the kind of person that won't ever have enough chances to redeem your faith in him and I won't be surprised at all if the new leadership cuts the cord on Saturday. -
Hopes vs Expectations for tomorrow?
dpberr replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hopes: Wenning throws for 400 yards, 5 TDs and fans lose their minds. Expectations: Less penalties and at least the appearance the coaches have their acts together. -
It's hilarious that Ducasse remains on this team. He's that terrible. He's literally VX nerve gas - just a little exposure of Ducasse in the game gets everyone killed. The only reasonable rationale for John Miller not starting Week #1 is a coach being blinded by hubris and ego, an obvious workplace hazard in the NFL.

My theory is that the number of vaccines, most of them live ones, our parents took made our immune systems sensitive right out of the womb. Then we go through life as kids and adults getting more vaccines on top of those. I think the cumulative effect of lifetime vaccination on the human body isn't studied as much as it should be.

I have food allergies as an adult that I did not have as a child. I now have a significant allergy to soy and peanut products which sucks because it's in nearly everything. Soybean and peanut oils are *the* worst. I chalk up my food allergy up to medication that I take that constantly toys with my immune system, especially the various immunoglobulins. I lost my hair due to it so it doesn't surprise me that as time goes on, it has made my body sensitive to soy and peanuts. There is no "eating through" a food allergy because the immune system treats the food as a foreign invader that must be defeated, and it wont' turn that function off no matter how much milk you drink, etc. You're just putting yourself in agony.

This guy will easily go for 400 yards, five touchdowns in this upcoming game. :-)

It will be very interesting to see if not evacuating Houston was the right call. I can see why they didn't - you would have likely had tens of thousands of people on highways in need of rescue. On the flip side, it seems like they should have started evacuations the moment this storm was modeled as a direct hit.

36 locks, 17 spots still up for grabs
dpberr replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the team will add wide receiver depth post cuts as there may be upgrades over Holmes available. Should that fail, they will trade for somebody. -
Dareus sent home for violating a team rule
dpberr replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He won't change. I know folks think that he'd cut out the shenanigans on another team, but he won't. -
Where do you think or D will rank this year and why
dpberr replied to PNW_Bills_Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Top 10 and I think it'll be readily apparent in the first game. Team has players that have track record of excelling in this particular scheme. The team has done a much better job matching scheme to player this year than the last two years. I give credit to the Bills for going after football players not just really great athletes. DL is one of the better in the league in terms of talent. LBs and DBs will be better than advertised. -
ESPN's Robert Lee reportedly reassigned from UVA.....
dpberr replied to Beast's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
He should sue, if true. Blatant, no doubt name discrimination. No different from "He's got a last name of Abraamowitz. He *must* be Jewish." or "Mykell, he's obvious a black man, right?" -
This will be a tough year for Bills fans and McDermott
dpberr replied to gjv001's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think this 2017 team will exceed expectations much to the chagrin of the tanking theorists and draft nerds, including our General Manager. You have a lot of guys - Alexander, Taylor, McDermott, Dareus, White, Hughes, Gaines, etc. who all have something to prove this year - and that desire provides a foundation for over-achievement. -
Blue Bills' Helmet: Thumbs Up or Down?
dpberr replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I voted no. The blue in the logo clashes with the blue on the helmet. The red stripe makes it look too Giantsy. A white stripe and facemask might improve it. It is absolutely astounding that the team will spend a lot of money on all these fancy uniform combos but be stubborn about giving the fans what they want - the 90s era uniforms and end zones. -
I'd argue that CB has actually improved. Gaines and White tackle players and are zone corners. Gilmore didn't like tackling at all and Darby couldn't play zone. You could say Gilmore/Darby are the more talented athletes but I offer that Gaines and White are the better football players.

Complete the tank, McBean. Do it.
dpberr replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Terry Pegula isn't going to pay for a tank season and the NFL isn't going to encourage or help a tank season. It's not coming. -
I don't put AB's retirement on the front office. I think all players are both the steam hammer and John Henry in their careers. It's knowing when you're which. However, I think the front office made it easier on him when they traded for *another* slot receiver who happened to be younger, faster and in his prime.

Your honest expectation for our record this season
dpberr replied to Spurna's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
10-6. Defense will perform better under McDermott. Bills have stashed picks. By cosmic rule, team will outperform expectations. -
Ragland and who for Alex Smith? Can it work?
dpberr replied to 1st Ammendment NoMas's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You don't trade players who are two games into their professional career. If you hadn't worked your job in over a year, you'd be rusty and slow your first couple weeks too. -
Don't tell this to the tanking aficionados.

Still playoff caliber team if 1 thing doesn't happen
dpberr replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Since we've loaded up on all these draft picks... ...we will easily, and I highlight easily make it to the playoffs. Hell, AFC Championship Game. We are all Bills fans. We all know how it works. Oh, and of course, college football will have several blue chip QBs that we will miss out on due to our lower than expected draft slot. -
Ill present the dissenting opinion
dpberr replied to KellyToughII's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You're right. Plenty of players have had the problem and subsequent surgeries and seem to do ok. With Watkins and that particular foot, however, IMO it appears to be a chronic issue. Re-injuring it is inevitable. I think he dinged it in practice earlier this month and the front office saw the writing on the wall. -
Ill present the dissenting opinion
dpberr replied to KellyToughII's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'll support the move by the Front Office albeit for a different reason. I think they know that the foot isn't right and won't be right.
