25 long years ago! I was 40! 😢 😁
Artful Dodger replied to 60’s Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah. I was 30, and a few years ago I was beginning to doubt whether I would live to see the Bills make the playoffs again, much less be contenders. The current Bills' team was worth the wait and I think they're as good as some of the Bills' teams which made it to the Superbowl 30 years ago. -
Sean McDermott Mic'd Up Chargers Game
Artful Dodger replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I counted 81 claps in 2 minutes before I got too exhausted to count anymore. His longest extended period of clapping was 19 after a defensive stop; his shortest was just a single clap. -
Is the NFL Better than Ever Today?
Artful Dodger replied to May Day 10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Instant replay has significantly reduced my enjoyment of the game. The refs are afraid to make calls, and it slows everything down. Some human error is OK as long as it's distributed fairly. It also gives fans stuff to complain about. -
The clean shaven look is a big improvement. But quarterbacks should look like Johnny Unitas.

The Georgia Runoff--So Big!
Artful Dodger replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The top two Republicans had around 45% of the vote. Below the presidential level, there was a lot of unexpected Republican strength probably to counteract the perceived nuttiness of the left wing of the Democratic Party, so this it will be an uphill battle for the Democrats to win both Senate seats. Even if they do, it will be 50/50, and conservative Democratic Senators like Joe Manchin in West Virginia might break away from the party on some of their more controversial ideas such as packing the courts or eliminating the filibuster. -
Final Vote—All States, Progress in counting
Artful Dodger replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The good news for Democrats is that if Trump pulls this out, the blue House will be able to impeach him three or four more times. I wonder how many countries they think Trump collaborated with this time. It will be cathartic for them. -
The barbarians are attacking. Rome may fall.
Artful Dodger replied to Unforgiven's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Can you please share what you think the parallels are? I'm in my mid 50's, and people have been talking about this for my entire life, but I struggle to see what the parallels are. There are no hordes of Visigoths at our borders and we don't drink from lead pipes. Also we have a pretty good system of government which ensures a peaceful transfer of power every four or eight years. -
Buffalo playoff probability....
Artful Dodger replied to TwistofFate's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills are in a sucky division and probably just need to go 4-5 the rest of the way to win the AFC East. -
No justice, no peace. Also, I need a new flat screen TV.

Why the defense got it's mojo back
Artful Dodger replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The defense got its mojo back because the team was playing the New York Jets. -
The most dangerous position in football is to be the first string quarterback with Fitzpatrick sitting on the bench behind you. You might as well dodge traffic on the interstate or stick your hand in a hive of bees. I give the rookie two weeks at most, he'll have some sort of fluke injury, and Fitzpatrick will be right back in the starting lineup.

Gameday Thread Bills vs. Jets 1st Half
Artful Dodger replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Am listening on the radio. So weird not to hear crowd noise in the background. -
If You Could Take One Bill to Lunch...
Artful Dodger replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Marv Levy. I'd ask him about his experiences in WW 2 and ask him to tell his joke about the reason that Germany lost WW 2 is because "Hitler couldn't win on the road." -
Dolphins expected to go with Fitzpatrick as the starter
Artful Dodger replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The most dangerous position in the NFL is the starting QB position when Fitzpatrick is the backup. Tua should thank his lucky stars he'll be sitting on the bench. -
Bills coaches called Joe Gibbs for advice
Artful Dodger replied to nucci's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah. It tells me he doesn't have a large ego. He just wants to win. Marv Levy used to say something like, "It's amazing what you can get done when no one cares who gets the credit." Both Levy and McDermott are really smart coaches, and not coincidentally, neither has a big ego. -
Bills coaches called Joe Gibbs for advice
Artful Dodger replied to nucci's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
One of McDermott's biggest strengths is that he's smart enough to be willing to reach out to people he can learn from. When he first became coach, he went out to dinner with with Kelly, Thomas, Reed, Smith, Tasker, etc. to try to get a sense of where they thought the team had gone off the rails.- 42 replies

Kamala Harris is the next VP
Artful Dodger replied to JetsFan20's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
She's a good choice for Biden. She's attractive and demure, and her hair smells really nice. -
Players are going to get sick. They'll be quarantined and they'll return a few weeks later. And then assuming recovery grants you some sort of short term immunity, the players won't have to worry about getting it again, at least until after the season is over. Finally, COVID-19 isn't that big a deal if you're 24 years old, especially if you're a professional athlete in great shape. So there may be players out for a couple weeks here and there, but hopefully there will be a season.
