  1. I like the idea but I don't think it goes far enough. I would slide everyone on the line of scrimmage down one spot like volleyball. Naturally that means right tackle rides the bench and Bates slides in a left tackle. Thats how you shake things up and send a message.
  2. 1. Jerry Jones will use every ounce of political capital that he has to block a third NFL team in Texas. 2. Nothing is competing with UT in the Austin market. Nothing. 3. San Antonio could probably support a team even though its numbers are inflated by a huge military presence which is a transient population, but see #1. 4. Last I checked everywhere outside of Houston is Cowboys country.
  3. They could have executed on the plays that were there and been solid on special teams and easily won that game.
  4. This game was very similar to the last two matchups against the Steelers. Tight games without much excitement except we lost the turnover battle -2 and failed to convert on any of our many chances. Statistically, we beat them every facet by a significant margin except penalties, and most importantly, points.
  5. Levi getting a hand on the ball perfectly to slow it down and deflect it into a spot where only Diontae Johnson can make an easy TD grab was some *****. Squandering a 75 yard kickoff return to start the game pretty much set the tone for the afternoon.
  6. This supposed over reach happened in this country over a century ago and has been upheld by the Supreme Court many times. It was never your right to be an aspiring plague rat without consequence. Get with the program already.
  7. Buffalo as football market includes southern Ontario and WNY over to Syracuse which needs to be factored in. There are some cities that are bigger but as football markets few make any real sense. See above.
  8. There really aren't that many cities in the U.S. who can sustain an NFL team. Buffalo has proven to be a viable market.
  9. Hardly official, but I thought I would share my experience: Bar Bill, East Aurora - Friday Afternoon 10 hot, 10 honey butter bbq - the hot were not very crispy and minimally sauced. I am not crazy about the flavor of their hot sauce. The honey butter bbq were perfectly fried, perfectly sauced and stayed nice and crispy. There is something about sugary glazes that help maintain the integrity of the skin. I continue to be baffled about Buffalo's love affair with beef on weck. Gene McCarthys - Friday Night 10 Sheffield, 10 McCarthy Style, 10 Hot - the hot were mild and buttery. McCarthy style was unique with the BBQ sauce and blue cheese crumbles. Sheffield were my favorite since the dry rub didn't make the skin soggy. Wings were good but nothing special. The real winner here was the fish fry and the house made beer. Duffs on Sheridan - Saturday Noon 10 Hot, 10 Medium - these were perfect. Quintessential version of a wing. The hot were perfectly fried, perfectly sauced and delivered that classic vinegary flavor. It doesn't get any better than the batch we had there. Gabriel's Gate - Sunday night 20 hot - these were excellent but not as crispy as what I enjoyed at Duffs or my last visit to Gabes Gate. Classic version of the wing and decent consolation after a bad football game. Still tasted good coming back up a few hours later. Clear winner on the weekend was Duffs. If the hot were anywhere near as good as the honey butter bbq it might have been close with Bar Bill. The loser was my stomach lining. Looking forward to doing it again next year and checking out a few more spots.
  10. To be fair, that is what Terry said in a very different oil and gas market. Terry sold much his holdings at peak market. Terry sold East Resources to Royal Shell for $4.7 billion in 2010. Royal Shell liquidated that crap for $541 million last year. Getting out of the oil and gas market and into sports was some pretty serendipitous timing by the look of it. https://www.forbes.com/profile/terrence-pegula/?sh=8eec2963cc7c https://www.post-gazette.com/business/powersource/2020/05/04/Shell-Appalachian-shale-National-Fuel-Gas-Seneca-Resources-petrochemicals-Swepi/stories/202005040107
  11. FWIW, I recently heard that Kim wants to sell the Sabres and be done with it but Terry won't let it happen. If NY State doesn't play ball, PSE will actively look to move the team. From the percentages that were tossed out there in this convo, PSE and NYS do not seem super far apart but I don't negotiate billion dollar stadiums for a living. Take all with a shaker of salt.
  12. And a Bass Pro Shop. Buffalo has always been a car wash town. Football merely tided us over between car wash and bass pro fishing season.
  13. Say no to public funding! Our tax dollars would be better spent on building the world's premier dialysis center after the team leaves and the city crumbles.
  14. Statistically, it isn't much of a concern at all if a few "nutters" are walking around while the general populace is 90% plus vaccinated. Now if 50% of the population is exercising their personal freedom to die of otherwise preventable diseases and a few contagious nutters are walking around, there you have a recipe for very poor outcomes.
  15. Because after a century of mandatory vaccination we no longer need to fear outbreaks of measles and hepatitis. Every school child or foreign national attending American university gets those vaccines. Its why we enjoy the highest vaccination rate in the world. In other words, we're pretty sure everyone walking in the door is not contagious with hepatitis.
  16. There has been over a year of data now and billions of vaccines administered. What specific concerns based on fact still remain that hold any water? Doubt for the sake of doubt isn't a valid argument. Its a convenient cover for other views which are not widely embraced for a multitude of reasons. People still want 50 years of empirical data before taking the Covid vaccine but they'll gobble down the brand new thing to get hard on or treat restless leg syndrome.
  17. It still is a person choice. Vaccination remains the cost of doing business in a developed society as it has for the past 100 years. You are free to live in Liberia if you object.
  18. I don't know how anyone can reasonably argue that mandatory vaccination has nothing to do about in-stadium safety just because there are other options like proof of a negative test which come with their own administrative challenges. A negative test 72 ours before game day is not quite the guarantee policy you suggest. To what end do we need to go to placate a crowd whose most compelling reason is "you can't tell me what to do!"?
  19. No, you inadvertently made the a point completely opposite to what you thought you were conveying. Measles vaccination, per your example, has been required to attend public and private schooling for generations to a point where a measles outbreak WAS no longer a real concern in the United States. It WAS pretty safe to assume that pretty much anyone passing you by was vaccinated against measles since it has been the cost of doing business in this country. I cannot stress the term WAS enough. Any thoughts on why that WAS the case?
  20. Sounds like mandatory vaccination to attend public schools, private schools, and serve in the military has been highly effective.
  21. I picked up a bottle of Diggs hot sauce, Diggs bleu cheese, and some Hot Mafia Sauce to bring home. They're all pretty good. Worth a try.
  22. Yes, be quiet when the offense is operating and cheer after the play but before the huddle/next play call. Unless you're a moron Steelers fan like the ones near me that tried to yell over Bills fans and encourage their offense on 3rd downs. Thank you for your service, Yinzers.
  23. That article does not refute anything I have said about ICU's full of Covid patients. In fact, it suggests rates of ICU admission would be a better statistic than overall hospitalizations. It will not take you much digging to find plenty of evidence that ICUs around the country are at capacity and they're full of people who thought vaccines were stupid until it was too late.
