  1. This is probably why the Bills team is so stunned. They were the wall around Damar. Nobody else could see what was going on... He was surely going to be a dead man had they not brought him back to life! Why... They couldn't play...
  2. This is NOT the first time a player died on the field. Actually, Damar would have died had they not brought him back with treatment and modern technology. Damar was no doubt saved by the AED. Happened in 1971, Bears/Lions game... Lions player, Chuck Hughes, was taken off field on stretcher... They say he died later, but he probably died right there like Damar would have without modern emergency attention... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/widow-of-nfl-player-who-died-on-field-very-emotional-over-damar-hamlins-collapse/ar-AA15Y5Z6 "It was a similar scene to when Sharon's husband, who was a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, collapsed on the field on Oct. 24, 1971 during a home game against the Chicago Bears. Chuck had suffered a fatal heart attack due to a blood clot that was dislodged after he was tackled. He is the only NFL player to ever die on the field." "During the 1971 game, the Lions were down 28-23 and Chuck had just caught his first pass that season. He was tackled. Then, several plays later, with 62 seconds left, he fell to the ground while clutching his chest. After multiple attempts, the medical team could not resuscitate him. The stunned crowd watched as his body was wheeled off in a stretcher."
  3. Can they really beat how long they got to Damar? Within seconds for him. 16 minutes total to the time the ambulance left field... They were waiting for his mother to come down from the stands.
  4. How about if any of these three teams get to AFC Championship AND something quirky happened due to this situation... Hold it at a neutral site. Say Arizona. It's getting ready to host SuperBowl anyway!
  5. AND as my grandfather would say: "If the hound didn't stop to take a sh*t, it would have got the fox."
  6. Kick the can down road, let week # 18 shake out... SEE what happens, then decide.
  7. Yes. Just like baseball not going the minimum. Game was only 9 minutes old!
  8. ***** no! We did the "classy thing" in 1921 and Halas, Staleys (Bears) screwed us! The Staley Swindle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_NFL_championship_controversy
  9. Like baseball. The game is not official because it didn't get out of the 1st quarter. Baseball needs 4.5 innings (if home team is winning). That was more like not even 2 innings yesterday. Yup. Not official.
  10. Last year's playoff game between BFLo-KC was basically decided on a coin-flip. What's the harm. OR....We can fly Josh back to Cincy for a QB contest with Burrow. Whoever can throw it the farthest and run the fastest gets the win. 😏
  11. Cincy is butt hurt that they are defending AFC Champs, but Bills get more respect and press especially for the KC game last year. Angry people do angry things.
  12. Yeah... Assuming it's a machine where the operator sits outside. May not have ROPs (RollOverProtection). Curious to what happened here. Hope they say, because these things other people may learn from.
  13. Snowblower or plowing? They say plowing. How does one get hurt plowing? Crash into a tree/obstacle? Another vehicle? Small tractor and fell off it? Snowblower I can see... Like when Colorado Avalanche star Joe Sakic stuck his hand down the chute to unclog the machine. /smdh
  14. "...Life ain’t easy in fact I know it’s sleazy, when you’re the big man in town. Shakin’ religions and makin’ decisions, you never get to slow on down..."
  15. So was Cam Lewis batting ball down on 4th and a zillion miles, instead he was going for INT. Maybe... Just maybe, Bills have unfinished business to accomplish on the road for the Football Gods to be appeased? 😉
  16. Not looking good? They are officially eliminated. So much for Saleh seeing us again! 😆
  17. Yeah... But who would you rather see in a possible playoff game: The Cheats or the Dolfelons... Which one is easier? Who would you rather see bounced if BFLo doesn't get a bye? Miami or NE*? But if Tua comes back for playoffs? If there's no chance at getting the bye, say Bills lose to Cincy and they flex the Pats* game to late game. Losing to NE* bounces the Phins.
  18. Not anymore for the team with blades on their feet.😔😟🙁
  19. 😆 https://musebycl.io/advertising/even-bmw-now-making-fun-lexuss-big-red-bow-holiday-ads "I CAN'T WAIT to see what you got your mother!"
  20. Or just ShootingTheShit. I wouldn't say faceless. Place to make friends and meet up at games. Only toxic if you want it to be.
  21. That's the thing about driving bans in stuff like this. How does one save people. You'd... Think maybe they should start a program like volunteer fireman. Or maybe like a Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA) program. Sanction certain groups to aid in rescue by first checking their private equipment and vehicles to make sure they pass rigorous standards to survive in the snow. Just like on the water. Then, when a storm kicks up... Emergency Services has auxiliary to help. Just saying... Something has got to change. As much as driving bans help... They may be killing people too!
  22. I think his commentary on Facebook was around 2008. I tell people all the time when they ask why I never had a Facebook account: "Ask Pope Benedict." (Bad enough getting off this place)
  23. I don't think he was a villain. Changing times. I did agree with previous poster... But in general.
  24. Elvis is in my wife. The cats come to the door to greet her... I say: "Elvis is entering the building." When she leaves, I announce: "Elvis has left the building!" This can spin-off to an all Elvis channel/thread...
