Week 11 - Chiefs at Bills Game Week Thread
faderphreak replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wasn’t that the same type of strategy of the Legion of Boom in Seattle? Rough up the receivers every single play and take your chances with the penalties they do call because they can’t (won’t) call em all. -
My brother's family and mine came up from MA and FL, and were supposed to bring my father to the scrimmage. After overdoing it with the grandkids yesterday, he's not feeling well and isn't able to attend. We'd rather spend time with him so we won't be able to attend either, and I hate the idea of 8 tickets going unused when someone else could go. If someone needs tickets I would be happy to transfer them to you. I don't want any money, I just want someone to use them if possible and pay it forward when they can some day. Full disclosure, I've never had tried to transfer through Ticketmaster but it seems like an easy enough thing to do. If your interested, DM me and we can sort it out. I think all Ticketmaster requires is the recipients First name, last name, and email address or phone number associated with their Ticketmaster account.

I don't know why I clicked that link. I'll give them credit for creativity but that is some coo coo crazy town stuff right there.

Buffalo Bills Schedule Discussion / Prediction Thread

That had a very Trailer Park Boys vibe with Josh playing the role of Ricky. Lol -
What is wrong with the Jacksonville Jaguars?

Hence the old expression: "Justice delayed is justice denied". At the end of the day, if it has dragged on this long, the dude probably has enough money to file motions and extend the process. -
It works for politicians, why not head coaches? Not that I agree with the take, I just couldn’t resist with the ball sitting on the T.

My conspiratorial self truly felt like that bullpuckey “inconsequential stoppage” was the officials trying to give the Dolphins D a rest in that moment.

Albany/Clifton Park NY - Where to Watch? (also my 40th bday)

Good Times! I did that Saratoga run a time or two as well back in those days. -
Albany/Clifton Park NY - Where to Watch? (also my 40th bday)
faderphreak replied to HardyBoy's topic in The Stadium Wall
I suspect I am aging myself here but I don’t give a triple F, I miss the Arc in Watervliet. I don’t know if that place is even still around but at one point, before DirectTV, or even the internet, it was the only bar in the Capital region that had all the games, so it felt like anyone who rooted for a team that wasn’t the Giants or Jets that lived within 45 min. would watch the games there. I don’t miss the place itself so much as the experience, as they twice food poisoned my buddy who would often join me on the trek from MA. undercooked sausage and pepper subs will get ya!. It was a big time sports bar before that was even a thing. Irrelevant to this discussion but good memories. -
1990 Week 5 LA Raiders at Buffalo Bills.
faderphreak replied to Toomstone.Part.Duex's topic in The Stadium Wall
I remember that game though I never saw more than the Berman highlights. I was at a show at some club in either Hadley or North Hampton, MA. Pretty sure it was Sacred Reich / Violence / Flotsam & Jetsam. Through the years, all the shows start to bleed together, but I digress... Vio-lence was definitely on the bill. I know this because they are a bay area band, and the guitar player Raiders jersey and a bunch of their crew were sporting their Raiders gear as well. Naturally, I was wearing a Bills hoodie and standing in the front row. They must have come on around halftime because when they saw my sweatshirt, the guitar player and the singer gave me crap about the Raiders leading and how the Bills would get blown out in the second half. After making a point of announcing the 3rd quarter Marcus Allen rushing TD, I was the recipient of more crap talking in between songs. Somewhere near the end of their set, one of the crew must have given another update because the score updates and crap-talking stopped. The club we were at didn't have any TVs with the game on, so before they left the stage after the set ended I asked for the score. Glares commenced from some of the crew, and a surly Phil Demmel informed me "the bad guys" made a comeback. Thanks for the flashback! -
Practice fight (8/15) - Helmets are swinging
faderphreak replied to Slippery Rubber Mats's topic in The Stadium Wall
I haven't lived in the Rochester area for decades but the bit about Pittsford, Brighton, Gates, and Webster sounds about right. I laughed out loud when I read that. -
As I've been reading this thread and the mild debate regarding the need for Josh to make better decisions and take what is given I keep thinking about Tom Brady. He took receiving rooms with way less talent on paper than what we have in Buffalo right now by simply dinking and dunking through the first 2-3 quarters, and then taking the kill shots late in the third or early in the fourth when defenses got sucked in to try and shut down those death by 1000 cuts type of passes. At the time it was so frustrating to watch Brady do that to the Bills and other teams. At the time I thought it was Belichick's modernization of Parcell's "3 yards and a cloud of dust." Instead, it was 3 yards and a thud all the way down the field.
