  1. If your plan is to trade him why would you bench him? If JG were to hypothetically "light it up" Brady's trade value would be in the crapper. (I don't think they trade him, but, if they did the market would be narrow and I'd say maybe a 3rd rounder)

     

    This was how we ended up with Drew Bledsoe, but we are not known for being smart.

  2. The Bottom Line On EJ Manuel: God gave EJ Manuel outstanding football and athletic skills. But God didn't give EJ Manuel competitive desire or ambition. EJ Manuel would rather be alone in a quiet library reading a book than playing football.

     

    Time to move on to Orton which will improve things...for about two weeks.

     

    I am going to reply only to suggest that if more people did not reply to your nonsense, you might get tired of baiting them and stop.

     

    I am not defending EJ or praising Orton. I am only pointing out that you do not know EJ but you make ridiculous claims about him.

     

    Bye.

  3. This will be first game ever at the Ralph? Does anyone know of good hotels near the stadium. Anyone planning on tailgating?

     

    We stayed at Comfort Inn on Camp Road, 5 minutes from RWS.

     

    Not fancy (don't need fancy), but clean and got a great sleep. I wanted to take the mattress home. LOL

     

    Brunch was average as you would expect, but got some starchy food, juice, and fruit in me before the moonshine came out in the morning.

  4. Interesting supposition. I disagree, though.

     

    Your point on the first half is well taken, but down by 19 with 2 minutes to play...come on.

     

    For a while I've thought about what would constitute "garbage" time, and it seems there would have to be a ratio of point margin to seconds left in the game.

     

    There is a threshold from which no team (yet) has come back. I'm very curious to know what it is.

     

    The problem with stats vs garbage stats, is that now you are having someone decide what stats matter.

     

    That is kind of like the officials, and what constitutes a penalty now.

     

    :death:

  5. Great post Bill but you missed Kyle Williams - he was a beast today and the referees were really reluctant to call penalties on Miami Offense for some reasons for he was being held multiple times.

     

    In reference to penalties against the Bills and uncalled on the Dolphins in the third quarter, I thought I time warped to the 70's. Horrible

     

    Yeah, how did Miami not get several false start calls from both OTs? Great game!

     

    GG was sitting behind me and was screaming about the false starts, especially from the blind side.

  6. Mead... Flutie was late getting the Stromboli out.... We need you back, lol... Thanks for teaching Ken! GREAT GAME!!!

     

    Liar, liar, pants on fire! :nana:

     

    Stromboli was fantastic and distributed to us as we had our breakfast beer and moon shine. A second batch was available shortly after the first. We missed you, though, Mead!

  7. There are 11 of us in the Rockpile secton this year. Youngest daughter Kalene (Babyrock) and son-in-law Jamie are veterans, the rest are TBD rookies (not Bills rookies).

     

    We will have burgers, dogs, snacks, plates, napkins, buns, beer, and more.

     

    Only need grill space!

  8. From that column:

    "Sweet 'N' Sour Matched Set: With the game tied at 17 in the fourth quarter, the Bears had third-and-1 on the Buffalo 34. Jay Cutler faked a toss left against a defense overstacked anticipating a run, then rolled right, hoping for a home run. The Bills had the intended receiver covered. Rather than try to run for the first, or simply throw the ball away, Cutler heave-hoed a crazy across-the-body pass that was intercepted by defensive tackle Kyle Williams. Very sour.

    Now the game is in overtime, with Buffalo facing second-and-5 on the Chicago 39. The Bears had already possessed the ball, so the fifth quarter has become next-score-wins. Buffalo lined up tight end Scott Chandler as an extra blocking back. At the snap, Chandler went right, and the offensive line zone-blocked right. Tailback Fred Jackson, at 33 the league's oldest running back, went "under the blocks" toward the left, as the entire Chicago defense reacted to misdirection the other way. Jackson reached the Chicago 1: The winning field goal followed a moment later. Sweet."

  9. Will there be a "cover charge" to get a name tag (Thanks, Diane) and identify who is entitled to TBD food, grills, drinks, and so forth? It helped pay for the parking acreage we rent from Hammer as well as tent, tables, chairs, etc. Then if any is left we can use it to support TBD web site.

     

    Thoughts? Did I miss this in the thread?

     

    Who is coming on Saturday and where are you meeting?

     

    We usually meet at Danny's.

     

    BUMP

  10. Yes, Hammer will have a grill there.

     

     

     

    I'm coming in Saturday, I'm planning on Dannys like usual for that evening. Are you camping out again this year?

     

    Staying at Comfort Inn on Camp Road. I miss the camping days - last year was our first in a hotel. We sold the popup, but I am fine on the ground outside if it is dry! :thumbsup:
