Sad, isn't it? The obsession over RI reminds me of the obsession some posters here had on Brad Butler.

Russ Brandon The Bills' Face of Futility

You must have missed the Jauron years. -
How Many Wins saves the Coaching staff
Cynical replied to rumblefish's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. IMHO, anybody expecting Pegula to clean house if the Bills fail to make the playoffs this year are going to be sadly disappointed. -
When do the phantom calls against us stop??
Cynical replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That was definitely intentional. -

abrupt 1 a : characterized by or involving action or change without preparation or warning : unexpected abrupt adjective 1. sudden or unexpected: Synonyms 1, 3. quick, sharp. See sudden. 2. short, hurried, hasty, blunt. 4. discontinuous, broken, uneven. Let me guess, are you now going to try say Henderson's twitch(es) was(were) slow? That's why the KC guy who jumped and about 2 other teammates pointed right at Henderson. Henderson must have been shouting the snap count. -

Cynical replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
8 pages debating a penalty that actually took place. Henderson moved - twice. The vine video somebody posted earlier clearly shows Henderson moved his right leg and then his left leg/hip. It's the left leg that caused the KC guy to jump. Some people want to claim the snap count made the KC guy jump. Heck, Maybe Henderson reacted to the snap count. Regardless, he moved. Is officiating inconsistent? Yes it is. At pretty much all levels of sport. It's called the "human element". People make mistakes, and yes, officials are people. Here's the video again: https://vine.co/v/Oi76lFauM3U -

Once the Bills start winning consistently, the "phantom" calls will stop. Well, they will not actually stop, you just won't care, especially during a win. -
Thoughts on who will coach Jets in 2015
Cynical replied to truth on hold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great. Some team will offer him a job. That still does not equate into Malzahn being a good to great NFL HC. And he could just easily be another Spurrier or Saban. -

College football is not equal to pro football. Great, he can move the ball. How about stopping another team from moving it? If by formation and scheme you mean putting 12 men on the field ... First, I realize Chip Kelly has become the new NFL "sensation". But the guy hasn't won anything yet. How about we wait another 2-3 years and see how he is doing then. I will give Kelly this: he has stated multiple times he adjusts his offense to the players he has. Just because an NFL team is willing to throw big money at a hot college coach does not mean said hot college coach will amount to squat in the NFL. -

How did that work out? Last I checked, Kiffin is an OC at the collegiate level. He couldn't cut it as a HC (pro or college). Just because somebody takes a chance on a hot college coach does not mean said hot college coach is automatically going to be a good to great NFL HC. -

http://thebiglead.com/2014/11/01/auburn-got-away-with-12-men-on-the-field-against-ole-miss/ You think that's one time hiccup? Think again ... SST Radio Show @SSTRadio · 4h 4 hours ago Wow! Confirmed now that Auburn ran 4 plays vs. Ole Miss with 12 men on the field. How bad was that officiating crew? -

So? Dick Vermeil was out of football for 15 years when he was hired by the Rams. Can't disagree with that. LeBeau is a phenomenal DC. And to think, the Bills had him for one year. GW should have kicked Jerry Gray to the curb and kept LeBeau. There have been numerous "creative college coaches" that have failed in the NFL. Hackett and Maronne decided they were going to be "creative" when they decided last year to run an uptempo no huddle offense with a rookie QB and 2 rookie WR. How did that work out? Um, no thanks. IMHO, he would be a complete disaster at the pro level. He gets away with a ton of BS at the collegiate level. -
rock stars who have not aged well part 2

Jesus. If you think DLR looks bad, take a peek at Eddie Van Halen. -
Don't want to burst your bubble, but ... It only took him 3 years to figure that out. Wood and Levite were drafted in 2009. And how could someone forget DJ trying to implement the no-huddle in 2009 with Levitre (rookie LG), Wood (rookie RG), Hangartner ©, Langston Walker (an adequate slow footed RT switched to LT) / D. Bell (a 2008 7th round developmental prospect, a/k/a "revolving door", as LT) and Brad Butler (an injury prone mediocre RG switched to RT). Yeah, even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

As a present a Comsuck customer, you should be happy they sent you a letter. I never got one when they EOL/EOS my modem. Bottom line, you are going to have to upgrade. If you have already been notified your modem as reached EOL (12/13), than EOS (End of Support) will take place. What does that mean? No "Internets" for you unless you upgrade. http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/end-of-life-devices/

NE Gets A Little Help From The Zebras

They will? You think Spygate will not cast a cloud on that? Or 18-1? -

There is no conspiracy or collusion. Walt Coleman has a history of controversial calls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Coleman The particular incident you speak of ("just give it to them.") happened in 1998, IIRC. In 1998, there was no instant replay. Officiating that year was a complete joke. Google Testeverde Helmet Touchdown. There will always be controversy regarding officiating. Always has been. I can remember when Bills fans used to B word about the officiating when Dolphins were kicking our ass pretty consistently. Their rationale for their bitching? Don Shula was on the Rules Committee.

I did not like trade based on what we gave up for him and this "win now" mode the Bills want to be in. Typically, WR take 2-3 years to develop. http://www.nfl.com/fantasy/story/0ap2000000363811/article/20-things-fantasy-owners-should-know-before-drafting "Are you in love with Sammy Watkins? Do you think Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks are a lock to thrive in 2014? Well, you might want to tap the brakes." "... of the five rookie receivers to post 1,000-plus yards since 2000, just two have done it in the last seven years." Lets take a look at that. There were 485 WR drafted from 2000 to 2014, only FIVE posted 1,000+ yards in their rookie year. FIVE. You know what the percentage is? 0.0103092783505155 = 1% Expecting Watkins to have some kind of "immediate impact" in his rookie year is laughable. It ignores reality. Watkins may very become the superstar we hope he can become, it just will not happen in 2014.

Syracuse can still make that claim because there is no other college in NY state that plays with the "big boys". UB might be trying to get there, but until they get out of the MAAC, and start winning consistently, Syracuse has nothing to worry about,

I love Royals. Definitely one of my favorite sub/sandwich, right up there with a Reuben. A Royal is a NE thing, if not just a WNY thing. Down here in the SE, finding a place that will serve Italian sausage is pretty hard to find. Capicola? Almost impossible.

Larry's Giant Subs. A chain shop, and not located in WNY. BUT: http://www.fooddrink-magazine.com/index.php/articles/restaurants/617-larrys-giant-subs and they still have ties to WNY: http://www.larryssubs.com/about-us.html
