The Timeless Thread....Things That Have Aged Well
EmotionallyUnstable replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
I just (re)watched the first one last night! -
How close are you to RWS?

I used to park at the apartment complex there for years. Easy in, easy out. Fair price. -
Training camp media and practice 8/19
EmotionallyUnstable replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I just don’t know what the cap savings does for you, immediately or long term. What are they going to do with that 3m? Can they sign a vet corner? Depth tackle? Great! Otherwise, what’s the point? I want them to assemble the best roster they can. The money should not factor into this decision, based off of the current state of the franchise, unless it can directly help them to improve elsewhere. if they go with the young players, I’m assuming that it’s because they think they are better for the franchise (now or in the future) and I imagine the money is only an afterthought unless Beane has some wizardry planned to utilize it for the good of the team this season. -

At this point, the cap savings to me is irrelevant. Just keep the best players, and if it happens to be that they’re cheaper? Great! -

Tell Me About Average Bills Fans
EmotionallyUnstable replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My parents I’d consider average fans. They has season tickets for 10 years during the drought. Never go to any games, but watch or listen to every one. They know all the players (mostly) and read in the newspaper about them. They aren’t actively seeing information in the off season, but follow along as it is reported to them. -
I Can't Wait 'Til The Home Opener!!!!!!!
EmotionallyUnstable replied to R. Rich's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yea but how many days until the Super Bowl? -
Lol at anyone who is seriously questioning who our backup return specialist would be in the event of a McKenzie injury. Amen!!! A good punter nullifies the need to have elite cover units, IMO. If Haack can directionally place his ball with purpose, I’d rather the up-and-coming pass rusher make the team.

A Few Thoughts....Intro [LAMP]
EmotionallyUnstable replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Been reading for years. Looking forward to it! -
They can do a number of things: First, and foremost, is that they should place him on the commissioners exempt list. Essentially, this would remove him from the Texans 53 and make him ineligible to play (while still being paid). The NFL has an extensive history (Vick, Hardy, Hunt, etc) of using this process while legal proceedings are underway. It puts the onus on the league, instead of the team, to step in and handle the situation. Second, they could suspend him temporarily or indefinitely. There does not need to be a civil/criminal charge or a conviction to do so. So to answer your question, it would remove him from the team facilities and dock his pay. The NFL’s inaction while the legal proceeding play out, although the norm lately in many player situations, is a cop out. In my opinion, they are taking the easy road out, hiding behind due process instead of taking a stand against some obvious injustices. The league claims to champion social issues, promotes equality and wants to appear to be a progressive voice in our country, yet when faced with the chance to take a stand, does nothing.

This is not the case. At least in my recent experience, I registered under my sister-in-law’s name but used my credit card. You cannot change the name that you register under due to it needing to match the email, but when you enter CC information, you just need the billing address to match the card number.

Around the League Training Camp Thread
EmotionallyUnstable replied to Buffalo Boy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
SHOCKED the chiefs would take a player with questionable judgement and personal morals. Otherwise, thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing you guys way down the road. -
Great thoughts. I was solely looking at the passing numbers, but it’s hard to ignore the rushing. For consistency purposes, I nixed them for each year. I think you’re spot on in the bold. One of the most surprising facts about the 12 passing TDs was that was the TEAM total in 2018. Allen had ten alone. So I think the numbers are a bigger indicator of how poorly built we were to throw the ball and how terrible the talent was on this team. in another note, forgot to mention Daboll as a major factor here. Another difference from 2018 and beyond

If you want the statistics, skip right to the end! Otherwise, if you're interested in a Buffalo Bills memory, keep reading... So last night I couldn't sleep and started scrolling through my old photos/videos. I quickly strayed down digital memory lane. As I thumbed through the photos, I stumbled upon a video my wife shot on April 26th, 2018. Although that date may not jump out at you, the video is easy to recognize as Santora's Pub on Transit in Amherst. i'm there with my friends, all clad in Bills gear with the first round of the NFL draft and @Roger Goodellon the TV. My wife recorded my friends and I reacting to the Allen selection. Anyways, as I thought about this date, 2018, and the McBean era, something just did not add up. How could it be that Allen is already up for an extension after 3 years, and yet, I could only remember 2 seasons? I thought and thought and all I could come up with was that in McDermott's first year (pre-Beane) they broke the drought with Tyrod and company, and then drafted Allen the next year. Thus, the past THREE years, we were 'playoff caliber.' Despite embarrassing loses to Jacksonville and Houston, the Bills under McDermott were a ship headed in the right direction. But this doesn't make any sense! If Tyrod had played for the first playoff game, and Allen the next two, how could this upcoming year be his 4th season!? And then, from a deep dark place, somewhere that I must have buried with all my old skeletons, there it was. 2018. How could it be, that in the same year the Bills made the playoffs and drafted Josh Allen, I've completely blanked an entire NFL season? Was that even possible? Tiny memories trickled back in, and then I dug deeper... Below you'll see passing yards, as well as the three leading WRs in yardage that season: 2018 - QB - Allen, 2074 Yards, 10 TDs (Derek Anderson was 465/0, Matt Barkley 232/2) WRs - Zay Jones (652), Robert Foster (541), Jason Croom (259) 2019 - QB - Allen, 3089 Yards, 20 TDs WRs - John Brown (1060), Cole Beasley (778), Dawson Knox (388) 2020 - QB - Allen, 4544 Yards, 37 TDs WRs- Stefon Diggs (1535), Cole Beasley (967), Gabriel Davis (599) 2021 - QB - ???? WRs - ????? Anyone care to predict 2021? I'm starting to think forgetting the 2018 season was a conscious action. When you see names like Terrelle Pryor, Chris Ivory and Charles Clay pop up on the receiving leaders, you have to break out the tums. Heck, even Dion Dawkins caught a pass that year (so did Kyle Williams, remember!?) Anyways, long story short, what an AMAZING and TREMENDOUS change in our passing game over the course of the Allen years. Kudos to Allen, Beane, McDermott and all involved (I see you, Stef) for such amazing success, but more importantly, progress from the days of 2018.

Thanks for posting. Solid watch -
You can comment on anything you’d like. And I, too, can remind the population of users that these rankings don’t matter. It is not just bills fans. It is a cultural phenomenon of caring more about what other people think of something (likes, houses, cares, friends, etc) instead of focusing on said thing’s true value. If you want to be up in arms about an arbitrary number that will be forgotten tomorrow, that’s your prerogative.
