  1. My 2 cents on this is that there are extremists at both ends and then the majority of folks somewhere in the middle. At one end you have the guy who wants to stand as much as possible either because he wants to show everyone else that he is "superfan", he is drunk, he is obnoxious or all 3. He also feels that he is the only person in the stadium. At the other end you have crusty old season ticket holder who only stands up to go to the bathroom or leave the game. He knows more than you do because he has been a season ticket holder for years, therefore, only stand when he does or he is going to let you hear about it. In the middle(the majority) are fans who like to stand up and cheer on 3rd down, in the middle of a big play(see Lee Evans TD's against Houston) or at other select key points in the game.
  2. $149 each!!! Pretty damn expensive piece of vinyl! fathead
  3. I can't wait to see the video of the new display. Starts 12/2. http://www.pulsejournal.com/e/content/oh/i...ghts_index.html
  4. Part of the problem is that they don't have enough guests on(outside of the regularly scheduled weekly guests). If they scheduled more guests, there would be less time for the off topic crap.
  5. Stop with the common sense! The weather will be a HUGE advantage for the Bills!
  6. Classic Shoop...just looking for a reason to B word about the Bills or the NFL in general. I'm outside listening to the radio while putting up decorations after the game. Here I expect them to talk about what a good win and exciting finish it was and all Shoop can do is WHINE about the game being blacked out. F***ing primadonna!
  7. How good is he you ask??? Seeing how he hasn't set foot on the field yet speaks volumes. Maybe he will turn it around next year, but it looks like this year is a wash.
  8. Weather will not be the deciding factor. If it is cold, blowing and snowing, BOTH teams have to play in it. Furthermore, it's not going to be -10. 30 degrees isn't going to make the Chargers forget how to play football. On th eother hand, the Bills ability to stop the run and play turnover free football will go along ways in determining who wins the game.
  9. You are right in that it should not be that difficult to correct.
  10. I heard this on ESPN News(or one of the other ESPN's) last night...After 6 years in the NFL, the Falcons still won't allow Vick to change a play at the line of scrimmage. Does "dumb as a bag of rocks" ring a bell.
  11. When the offense crosses midfield, you don't go "UP" to the 20 yard line, you go "DOWN" to the 20 yard line. I don't listen to radio broadcasts unless a game is blacked out, so I don't know if he does this all the time, but I found his call to be very unusual in regards to this.
  12. Somebody help jog my memory. On Saturday wrestling on Canadian TV(late 60's/early 70's) there was a wrestler(I believe he was deaf) who would always take a pounding. Anybody remember him or what his name was? PS Great Aud wrestling memories...Denucci & Parisi, Ernie Ladd & BoBo Brazil!
  13. OMG...I just checked online and could get at least 8 seats together for this Sunday at either St. Louis, Atlanta or Tennessee. Good to know that the Bills are the only team who does not sellout all their games.
  14. OMG....A Bills game didn't sellout in time to be televised locally! Get channel 2, 4 and 7 out there now and watch for the moving vans! It's not the first game that didn't sell out over the last 40 years and it won't be the last. It doesn't mean the Bills are going to be moved to another city.
  15. Did it ever dawn on you that some people may not want a 2 ft grey saucer hanging off the side off their house? It's a real simple concept, so read it slowly...If you don't want to read about TW/NFL Network issues, DON'T OPEN THE THREAD.
  16. You say, "Not every household wants to pay for the NFL Network"??? Well guess what...there is a whole bunch of crap on basic cable that I don't want to pay for. The NFL may be trying to bend over TW a bit, but please don't absolve TW of any blame. How much of a price reduction did I get from Adelphia/TW when Empire Sports went under? How about when TW dropped ESPNU? The cable companies are rolling in dough and adding this channel without passing on the ENTIRE cost to the consumer isn't going to kill them. Let's see how customer friendly TW and the other cable giants become when Verizon starts rolling out TV service via fios. They will be singing a different tune then. PS Before you go around calling people dumb & cheap, if you are a TW customer(at least here in WNY), there is no option to get the NFL Network on a higher tier at an additional cost.
  17. Buttering me up will get you nowhere! Bring on fios!!!!!!
  18. Quiet you TW loyalist!
  19. Great game tomorrow night(Denver v. Kansas City) and TW customers don't get to see it. Verizon Fios(phone, internet & TV service) can't come soon enough!
  20. I have a question on the salary cap. Why are we 12 mil under the cap(per chart at bz.com)? I could understand leaving a few mil to play with in case of injuries, but 12 mil could have made this team a lot better.
  21. What a surprise...a guy who is 6 games away from cashing in on the payday of a lifetime has all of sudden come to life. He is worth 5-6 million, but not the ridiculous jack that will be thrown at him come free agency. He is going to laugh at Marv between now and free agency if he tries to get him to sign a long term contract.
  22. No comparison. Football is their life in Green Bay and fans support the team, good or bad. It will always be that way. Buffalo has 40,000-50,000 hard core football fans who show up when the team is good or bad. The fact that so many games have sold out in recent years should be viewed as a positive. It also helps when the stadium capacity is reduced by several thousand seats during this same timeframe.
  23. Give it a rest with the "it's a holiday weekend therefore the game should be sold out" crap. This coming Sunday is like any other Sunday and almost everybody goes back to to work on Monday and anybody in from out of town is either gone back or heading back on Sunday. Bottom line....come November/December tickets are a tough sell when the team is not performing.
  24. NC didn't get this close to the "money grab" to all of a sudden re-sign with the Bills prior to the start of free agency next spring. He's going for the BIG money and someone other than the Bills is going to pay it.
  25. I'm not going to proclaim that I have access to the Bills playbook or I know what the coaches are telling the players to do, but if what you say is true, than I guess I shouldn't be pissed at AS, and redirect my anger at the defensive coaches instead. I really don't care what scheme they play, but when a RB can run through gaping holes where a DE or other player should be, something is F***ed up and adjustments need to be made. A team that runs the ball as poorly as Houston does, should not be able to pile up the yardage they did yesterday.
