That's No Moon

11/28/2007 Pats 56 Bills 10. Pats throwing deep passes long after the game was decided. Karma is a B word Bill. It all comes back around. Go find the quotes from them that season that were to the effect of if you don't like it, stop it. Every single one of them can kiss my furry behind.

I require 3 more.

Best interview he could have given tbh.

Just keep playing the game.

Because the Super Bowl is 1000% about the NFL and it's corporate sponsors. The sponsors, who get the lion's share of the tickets, B word when the game isn't somewhere they want to go. It's ALL about corporate hob knobbing and knob bobbing.

No worries about keeping the product cold! Well played.

The same way they can scream for "law and order" then proceed to do whatever they feel like in their own world

The demographic of people who buy tickets to these games is older than the Bills and league want to admit. New stadium should be 55k max. Compact to amplify the noise.

Prices going with the forecasted temperature

DB coach John Butler?

Rog prefers his balls ice cold and rock hard when kicked.

I also remember MacGyvering a full case of beer into the stadium now we are worried about socks. What happened to this country?

Stick the battery in your prison purse and you will be fine. Good luck.

You know, apart from the thing we primarily suck at going into the playoffs with quite a few teams that really like to do that thing including this week's opponent, yeah I guess you're correct. Also, he's a defensive end, it's not really that complex a job. I'm quite sure he can line up at DE or DT on pass downs and remember what to do. He brings something to the table that the other ends don't, he was super popular in the locker room, he is a guy to bring some juice when the team is flat, and he will be dirt, dirt cheap to sign through the end of the season. Oh and if he plays well and the Bills want to keep him they will likely have at least one vacancy at his position and he will be highly affordable once again. What exactly is the problem here?

If the former happens he, and everyone else, can go with my blessing.

Did he make the trip?

If the Broncos fire Fangio, I want him.

The old stadium has serious structural issues. Particularly in the upper decks. The only way to even consider keeping it would be to take those down and leave the lower bowl. Even with that there is no need to keep it and continue maintaining it just to practice and host high school games. The Bills have their own practice facilities already, high schools have their own stadiums already and if they want a venue for the section VI playoffs they'd ask for the new stadium anyway. They will strip out everything that can be sold or recycled, I'd imagine a lot of the concrete will end up as fill for the hole where the stadium is.

They don't throw it away. They won't bring it to the new building, they will sell everything that is still usable.

I think it's fair to say that SOME people do that. There are plenty of people who don't and will hold that spreadsheet until the day they die. The overall problem with analytics like this is, no matter what, they are in the aggregate. As Pees was pointing out they don't and can't account for all of the minutia that actually goes into real life. Each trial of something is basically treated as equal; all 4th and 2s are the same and lots of other relevant things are screened out. People love to use analytics as a cudgel now and when you do something that is against what the spreadsheet says and it doesn't work you will get called to the carpet for it even if you shouldn't because in the actual real world it was the right thing to do for that one discrete event. I'll use baseball as an example for a moment. Most SABREmetrics people believe that you should not steal bases nor should you sacrifice bunt. Ever. In the aggregate, the numbers bear that out. The problem is, situationally, that doesn't work the same way. In the 9th inning of a tie game when you only need one run and you have the bottom of the order up, getting a runner to second base with less than two outs is an EXTREMELY valuable thing to be able to do and it increases the number of ways you can then score the 1 run necessary to win that specific game. The fact that there are also plenty of people who are more than happy to dismiss what Pees said as an old man talking nonsense about a world that no longer exists are way too quick to dismiss the part he was mentioning about connecting with human beings. That is as skill that a lot of the current generation definitely lacks. Getting people to buy in and pull in the same direction is a skill unto itself and isn't reflected in the spreadsheets either. You hear it in Buffalo when McDermott talks about "culture" and "process". That's what they are talking about. And back in my day coaches didn't diss the guys with the spreadsheets because they just didn't hire them in the first place. They have a place. The data has a place. That place might not at the front of the organization depending on the person in question. There are tons of amazing analysts that would be terrible CEOs or Department VPs. There are a smaller number who are good at both things. If you have someone who is good at both, by all means, put them in charge. On the flip side if they are only great with the players and not good at the X and Os or data analysis piece they shouldn't be in charge either. They have a place in your organization, but it's not at the top.

He won a Heisman and got drafted #1 overall running an Air Raid offense. Cleveland very much does not do that.

Eric Green who was so big that you had to chop him at the legs to get him down, and who also refused to wear thigh pads. Brilliant.

Was that the David White interception game? First line of the Buffalo News story about that game. "One-dimensional football teams have a nasty habit of losing playoff games, and it happened again Saturday at Rich Stadium."
