Oh I forgot about helmet slap personal foul by Jerry Hughes! May not be the worst in Bills history, but it was ridiculous. http://thebiglead.com/2014/10/12/jerry-hughes-got-a-personal-foul-for-celebrating-by-slapping-his-own-teammate-on-the-helmet/ The "just give it to them" game slips my mind, but this article refreshed it a little. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/6/16/2225057/buffalo-bills-walk-off-foxboro-patriots

Honestly I am going to say the Jaguars game is most significant. That PI call was awful, gave the jaguars another set of downs, and subsequently we lost. Who knows what would have happened the rest of the year after going into the BYE week 4-3 instead of 3-4. Does Mario try a little harder? Does the defense rally after stealing that game back from Manuel delivering it? We could be talking about a broken streak right now, and that's why it's significant.

McCoy's nightclub fight and the ongoing investigation
What a Tuel replied to lowghen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So you were right twice in 20 years? What do they say about clocks? How much negativity have you spouted on numerous other topics since then? -
McCoy is getting flak from the Brady fans because his non-punishment was handed down today as well. I don't think they quite understand the situation.

"Eschewing both terrorists and illegal immigrants alike is in keeping with a broader and widely accepted best practice for journalists: Avoid labels! When possible, describe what people do instead of labeling what you think they are." Man certain people are just going off a cliff with their nonsense. "I'd say they were a terrorist but here's what they did to qualify as a terrorist, but terrorist has a negative connotation for certain movements so let's stop using it"

McCoy's nightclub fight and the ongoing investigation

Thanks for the good luck Bucky! -
She was one of the people who were protesting on the highway illegally and blocking traffic. Of course the "man" bringing them in was putting them in imminent danger and as such they are brave, brave souls. I, as a white person just don't understand the brutality they face. She looks quite dressed up too. If this weren't staged for photographs like this, knowing they would get arrested illegally blocking traffic, then I don't know what propaganda is.

The media is nuts and loving every minute of this, and are now comparing this picture to Tiananmen Square. This won't stop until the media stops sensationalizing every single thing about cops vs blacks, and starts covering real issues. http://imgur.com/gallery/TtIkE http://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/07/a-single-photo-that-captures-race-and-policing-in-america/490664 http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/woman-in-stunning-baton-rouge-protest-photo-is-nurse-and-mother/ar-BBubbdO?li=BBnbcA1&ocid=DELLDHP https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/32030486/americas-tiananmen-square-photograph-becomes-defining-image-of-countrys-civil-unrest/#page1

The problem is that the Police have to have authority to do their job. You guys might think of them as jerks, or !@#$s or needlessly harsh or whatever, but there are a number of people who will take any leniency or benefit of the doubt and run with it. They err on the side of caution in this regard, because they'd prefer for you to think of them as a hard ass than be shot/assaulted because they weren't thorough enough. Add this to the fact that there is no police brutality epidemic in the US right now. Yes there are mistakes, tragedies, and police brutality, and better training may help to reduce situations of brutality and wrongful deaths, but it isn't an epidemic, and they do a remarkable job. If you think you are being wrongly detained don't resist. If you feel your rights are being infringed then take it to court. The police will not back down in this regard. Unless they are vastly in the wrong, they won't back down, and they will take you down. If they take you down, and you are still resisting, you still aren't getting out of it, because they still won't back down. At this point any movement can be mistaken for some action of aggression such as hands going towards your pockets for a weapon, the cops weapons etc. At this point for the Cop it is you or him. In his mind for all he knows, you are considering your options: go to jail, or disable the cop enough that he doesn't force you to go to jail. Cops don't enjoy wrestling people, get a grip people. (not specifically you)

What is better, no guns, or more guns?
What a Tuel replied to Security's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/07/08/why-america-feels-so-violent-right-now/?tid=a_inl We will just ignore that gun violence is at least at a 5 year low. probably longer. If they can't go after total gun violence, they will go after the subsections of it that rise and fall from year to year. "And mass shootings are up as well. According to Mother Jones’ mass shooting database, year to date, 58 people have been killed this way, nearly five times more than the same time period last year. It’s worth noting though, that Orlando is the sole driver of this effect. Had it not occurred, the number of fatalities would have gone down between the two years." Do you think it's worth noting? Really? -
I don't even know if the BLM organizers believe it themselves, but they need to fight for justice for the specific cases of injustice. This widespread fear they are instilling in people that white people are out to kill them is dangerous. I mean there is a difference between the cops not giving black people the same courtesy in the performance of his duty as they do white people which leads to unjust police shootings, and police squads exterminating black people right? I mean come on, critical thinking helps guys. They are convincing people that the police are actively seeking out black people to kill. There is absolutely zero evidence of this. Even if you say those 2 cases were related to racism, it doesn't even fit that criteria.

And this is what a campaign of misinformation and inflammatory remarks gets you.

Statistics? Tell me more! I was just discussing statistics earlier.

You've got to be kidding me. And you agree with this nonsense? Some of it is ok, but it is off the rails big time for the most part. edit: And by some of it, I say probably just the thing about Trump, and Congress. ...It's almost as if they are comparing spleen surgery to shoulder surgery.

Trump vs Clinton: Pre Convention matchup
What a Tuel replied to Dorkington's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Less undecided and more - "do I really have to pick one of those two?" I mean if this poll is any indication, I haven't voted for that very reason haha. -

This is a self fulfilling argument. They don't have these killings because they don't have guns. We chose to have guns. Just as we chose to drive everywhere, and our vehicular accident death rate is higher also. United Kingdom - 1,827 Deaths from vehicles (2.9 per capita) - Number of Vehicles per 100,000 (5.1) Germany - 3,540 Deaths from vehicles (4.3 per capita) - Number of Vehicles per 100,000 (6.8) Japan - 5,971 Deaths from vehicles (4.7 per capita) - Number of Vehicles per 100,000 (6.5) United States - 34,064 Deaths from vehicles (10.6 per capita) - Number of Vehicles per 100,000 (12.9) I mean you can make the life is precious argument all you want, but people aren't going to give up their guns just like they won't give up their cars. -
248 black people died in 2015 from police shootings, a lot of which are justified. Some are not. 468 white people died in 2015 from police shootings, a lot of which are justified. Some are not. Let's say that 10% of these shootings were unjustified, I think that's fair. So 25 black people were killed. And 47 white people were killed. Granted there are 5 times as many whites as blacks in this country, but let's take out the white factor. If there are 5 times as many whites, there should be 1/5 the number of black unjustified shootings in a ratio to unjustified white shootings. So 1/5 of 47 is roughly 10. we are talking about maximum potential of 15 cases of racism. Out of one million police officers. This isn't including any potential factors such as higher interaction with police, or any of the other factors that could explain these 15 cases. Nope systemic racism all the way. The police have to go, right? Edit: Also this is all BS, because we shouldn't be complaining about the equality of unjustified shootings. If unjustified shootings are a problem, then let's get the Police better training. Nope, we don't want to pay for it. I love the idea that the additional white lives lost from unjustified shootings don't matter at all because they aren't in the appropriate proportions to demographics. So stupid.

Andre Johnson wants a shot
What a Tuel replied to KollegeStudnet's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You think you are making points but the reality is you aren't. The players I listed kill your point, if you were being intellectually honest. Forte was 28 and had 1,550 carries and still performed at 4.6 yards per carry. This is the age and carries you say McCoy is done for. Doesn't count though, am I right? Gore was 28 and had 1,650 carries and still performed at 4.3 yards per carry. This is the age and carries you say McCoy is done for. Doesn't count though, am I right? Not only that but the next year at 29 with 1911 carries and buckled knees and grey hair he cruised by defenders at 4.7 years per carry. The point that you consistently try to make that McCoy is "over the hill" at 26, and 27 is laughable though. You tend to be stuck between "McCoy just isn't good" and "McCoy is over the hill" and switch back and forth whenever it suits you. Keep trying though. -
10 officers shot 3 died so far.
