Quincy Enunwa the latest Jet to put team on blast
timekills17 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pretty clear you don't understand the legal definition or Constitutional intent behind that portion of the Bill of Rights if you're using it for justification here. Regardless of the fact "freedom of speech" is Constitutionally protected, your job can place legally enforceable restrictions on what you publicly divulge. I suppose the plays for the next game can just be put out on Facebook too? Or the code to an encryption system for a financial institution? None of those are protected under the Constitution if the job you've chosen to accept restricts its release. And besides - it shouldn't HAVE to be restricted. He should ask in advance for the time when you're making millions/per year (or less - doesn't really matter, but that amount of $ does increase the expectation of execution) and quit being a B word afterward. -
Bills at Browns Post Game Post Mortem
timekills17 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Whatever. We get it. You don't like Allen. There is NOTHING you can point to this year that shows Mayfield is better than Allen. Whether Allen is or becomes good is tiresome enough from you, but to seriously try and explain why passing for TDs in this game is somehow worth more than running for them is ridiculous. And to say Mayfield can pass for TDs while Allen can't - have you looked at their season's stats? At least use realistic and worthwhile arguments, please. -

Not that this has anything to do with Ritchie, but I feel compelled to expound on some of what I feel are misconceptions that you expressed. One - minor, but there is no such thing as an "E14 or E15" DoD employee. I assume you meant their pay grade, which typically is "GS" plus their number - which can go up to 15 before reaching "Senior Executive Staff" or SES level. Although they are NOT the same, there is a pay grade to military rank equivalent to assist with appropriate position where a GS-15 is equated to an O6 (Colonel or Captain in the Navy), a GS-14 is equated to an O-5 (LTC/Lt Col/Cmdr) and an SES sits at the O7 (General officer) level. Two - A contractor is never fired or let go by the military. It's illegal. If a contractor was let go with two weeks notice that was completely on the contracted company. The only time the government can impact is when something was done illegally by a specific person working for the contract (typically sexual harassment or assault) and then that person can be banned from working at a location or country due to US agreement with said country (if a SOFA [Status of Forces Agreement] is in place) or US law. It is still up to the contracted agency what is done with that person however. The only exception to what happens to the person is if they are arrested (of course.) If your contracted company told you one of your fellow contractors was "let go"/fired by the military/DoD/government - they're lying. It's one of the biggest challenges with hiring a contracted agency. The government pays for the SERVICE. How the service is provided, i.e. how many people they decide to hire, where they put them, etc, can't be dictated by the government. -
Choosy mothers choose Jif. But people who understand acronyms in the English language say GIF as in game, gone, graphics. Tell me you didn't know who John Brown and Frank Gore were before they came to Buffalo, and I'll bet you call it "JIF" because you get your education from Twitter and FaceInstabookgram. P.S. Nano over vi or Emacs.

Observations from my first home game

Phrasing! -
Daboll is an excellent play caller
timekills17 replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I realize this will come across as homerism, or typical fan optimism trying to find good in the darkness but... After some further time to consider, maybe there was more than one reason Dabes tried to pound it in three times (or five times if you include later 3rd &2 and 4th down failed attempts.) Sure - maybe be it was because after they tried once, he knew that they knew we wouldn't try again. And then the third time, no WAY we'd try again. But I don't believe that (trying to out think the Redskins defense) was the reason. I think it was actually BECAUSE we knew that's their (Redskins') strength. We were stressed as fans because we've seen these games go south too quickly. But if you're a non-emotional observer, besides running for a bunch of yards in the first half, this game was never in doubt. This was an opportunity to evaluate his offensive line in a couple of groupings in a game and time where it wasn't IMPERATIVE that we score/make the first down. It did eventually show what most people assume works actually worked - the QB sneak with a 250 lb 6'5" QB. He called it when we had to have it, and we got it. Additionally, it sure fooled the Skins on the play with Motor. After pounding our way up the middle multiple times throughout the game, and running JA, that half second delay in the read before he gave it to Singletary got everyone going the wrong way for his TD scamper. Again - I readily admit I'm probably reaching. But these guys, regardless of our opinion, aren't idiots. This was a chance to evaluate that you never get in practice, and prepare for when you REALLY need it. -
Apparently the Raiders saw him in the 3T role in their 4-3, more along the way he played as a DE in the 3-4. Raiders fans seem to think he was decent when he played, but really best as a run stopper (!) which they didn't need as much as a 3T type penetrator. https://www.reddit.com/r/oaklandraiders/comments/dpai8w/dt_terrell_mcclain_added_to_raiders_roster_along/ He was suspended for the first four games last year (2018), and then had an injury, but was still the Chargers "Walter Payton Man of the Year" nominee. Was due for ~$10M (resigned by Chargers in 2015 for 5 years at ~$11M/year.) Picked up by the Raiders in FA but released about a week ago. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017906/article/chargers-wont-exercise-option-on-dt-corey-liuget

Cole Beasley interview, 2pm-3pm EST, CBS Sports Radio
timekills17 replied to Seasons1992's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Difficult to prove otherwise - because that would mean they'd been successful previously and didn't "handle"it; Until proven otherwise...the Bills have shown they do a terrific job handling success. Each of those statements is equally wrong. -

Postgame Thread Bills Redskins
timekills17 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sal to Devin "Did you know you'd be as big a part of the game plan?" Devin: "No, just same approach; stay ready be ready..." Next reporter to Devin, very next question: "Did you know coming in you were going to be this big a part of the game plan?" -
Drew Bledsoe debate topic
timekills17 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Drew Bledsoe always worried me when he played against the Bills. Drew Bledsoe always worried me when he played for the Bills. Jokes aside, he made Peerless Price look like a 1st round WR, and EMo like a HOF'er. And that was after he was sent packing by the Pats. I believe the Pats would have made it to and won the Super Bowl the year Bledsoe got injured if he'd remained the starting QB. I honestly believe he was a better QB than Brady at that point. Brady was...more cerebral? Maybe, although Bledsoe was/is a very smart person and football player. Regardless, Bledsoe's career was not in any way a disappointment. I guess Marino was a disappointment too, then. -
Trade Deadline Woes for da Bills
timekills17 replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they can't find someone in trade, there are still options. Maybe better than trading, because opponents won't have tape to evaluate. I'd go after Gerald Willis III. He went undrafted, then signed and later released by the Ravens. Then the Dolphins picked him up and he's on their PS. Sure you say - undrafted, can't even make the Phins' roster. But his fall was largely due to off field issues leading to his departure from Florida, and really playing only one full year at Miami (FL) after an MCL tear where he had 59 tackles with 18 tackles for a loss, four sacks and two passes batted. That was as a 6'1" 302lb DT with limited time. I think the Bills should give him a shot. We've got the locker room to bring him in to the team concept, and the defensive coaching to get the best from him. If nothing else, he's a good size dude. -
If you wait about six hours you can get them on my site: https://news.timekills.info/buffalo-bills-video/ (newer site/may be faster in Europe) https://www.timekills.org/bills-video/ (older site, probably faster in US) For live, you can get NFLGame Pass Europe for a discounted price (and probably a free trial) as long a the IP is out of Europe. You do not have to have or use a US billing address for credit card. That is how I watch from Afghanistan (when I have internet good enough to actually watch them.)

Eagles Message Board Quick Takes
timekills17 replied to billsfan_34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
https://bit.ly/2JhhsgR Obligatory -
You can't deny that a good offense playing complimentary football helps significantly. Forces opposition into a more one-dimensional attack, provides favorable field position (no "gimme" FGs or one-shot TDs), and no turnover based points. However... You also can't deny that teams down by 2+ TDs are more likely to air it out and gain yards if not points. So the minimal yards allowed is potentially even more impressive. Given the rules changes over the years favoring offense, the idea that the Pats' defense is even comparable, and in many ways outperforming the "other" all time great defenses pushes them squarely into the discussion. Denigrate their opposition all you want. I don't recall the amazing offenses the '85 Bears had to contend with every week either.

First Time I have been concerned with Josh Allen
timekills17 replied to PlayoffsPlease's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I just want to add that I have no points, so I'm clearly doing something wrong. I have been told off for posting my site with replays of the games though, since a mod thought I was a third-rate journalist trying to pimp my stuff. Does that count? (P.S. the site is https://timekills.info in case anyone wants to vote for my Pulitzer.) -
