Every team we would have needed to lose this week lost
Dr.Sack replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jesus. That's like the roaring 20s? -
Mike Francesa dead on when we hired Rex 2 years ago (video)
Dr.Sack replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Pegula's remind me of the Beverly Hillbillies. They are "new" money people. Unlike people who inherited their wealth like Trump, the new money people often remind me of lottery winners. They are gullible and spendthrift, making silly purchases that evaporate their wealth overnight. Pegula outbid the Donald to show he "arrived" and was a player. Trump smartly smirked laughed it off and said Pegula overpaid, and because he spent too much Buffalo would "never be a winner". By all accounts Pegula is a smart man, but with new de-regulation coming for the fracking industry there could be a boom/bust period in the natural gas industry. With federal lands being opened for development to fracking its possible the new POTUS who is as smart as he is wicked may still harbor a grudge against Pegula. When we turn to Pegula's spending we can see a cause for concern. So far Pegula has dropped $189 million on the Sabres, $1.4 billion on the Bills, and $102 million to his alma-mater Penn State. He's also splurged developing the harbor center which cost over $180 million. The Pegula's fell for the salesman Rex Ryan, like they fell for Russ Brandon's council. Want to rebuild a suspect franchise? Start by distancing yourself from company yes men. Add it all up and Pegula may be just about maxed out his cash reserves. What could hurt Pegula is the "Russ Brandon" effect or the general consensus that many long term fans are growing apathetic to the franchise. Apathy doesn't drive new revenue. This can be evidenced by tracking season ticket churn rate and the half empty stadiums thanks in part to the general concession tickets simply not selling in late season games. When this happened before Brandon was able to get liquidity by pitching the ludicrous idea that Toronto could stabilize the Bills franchise. This was sold as these are late season games that generally fans don't want to attend. I don't recall late season games being much of a problem in the late 80s early 90s. Brandon is a great marketer, but he looked amateurish in the video series of how the Bills traded up for Sammy Watkins. Brandon's lust for putting PR and marketing above developing a winning culture will almost certainly cost Pegula hundreds of millions of dollars. When Pegula realizes a new stadium is untenable due to declining TV and falling ticket revenue he will be forced to finance a stadium that a post-industrial Buffalo cannot afford. It can be said that Pegula is a lottery winner simply living a dream he hasn't woke up from. Sadly for us fans we are living a 17 year nightmare. -
Biggest reason for lost season (other than the head Coach)
Dr.Sack replied to San-O's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why not elect to defend the south end (opposite of the tunnel) after winning the coin toss in OT? The fierce wind decided the game. Carpenter was 0/2 kicking into the swirling southwest end zone. -
Former Bills DBs playing for other teams

Rambo & Searcy > Graham & _______. -
This game just showed that Tyrod is not the #1 problem
Dr.Sack replied to BillsFan130's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
15-14 as a starter. Not too shabby. -
WIVB Josh Reed: Rex knows he's fired

Fire Rex -
Anybody Have A Change Of Heart About Gilmore?
Dr.Sack replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Deion Sanders sucked at tackling too. Most corners suck at it outside of Aqib Taleb. -
Bills unthinkably now have losing record when scoring...
Dr.Sack replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe the red wine with Pegs is having an effect on Rex. Like Belichick who was known for defense Rex now has built a top 5 scoring offense. Cheers! -
Bills Had Ten Men on the Field on Ajayi's Big OT Run
Dr.Sack replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Too much red wine last night for Rex & Pegs. That hangover clouded his judgement. -
It's time to see what Cardale Jones can do
Dr.Sack replied to 17 Josh Allen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cardale is not an NFL starting QB you have to earn the job not have it handed to you. -
A Rex Apologist Says Enough
Dr.Sack replied to WhitewalkerInPhilly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Russ Brandon recommended to Rex that Pegs liked red wine. The rest is history. -
Tyrod throws for 300 yards are you happy 550 WGR?
Dr.Sack replied to bisonbrigade's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like Tyrod -
I've been skeptical of Rex, but the players leaders who want him I say one more season.

"Spring Football League" launching in 2017
Dr.Sack replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tebow will be out of baseball by then, leaving him to choose between rugby and football. Tebow will be the MVP after all he has more playoff wins than our entire franchise has since 1996. -
Wear it as a badge of honor Buffalo!
Dr.Sack replied to dwight in philly's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Erie county voted 55% to 45% for Hillary. Buffalo is hardly the Trump utopia many of you wish it was. Careful the cons run this board and they get to decide. It's what Chomsky meant when he argued "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum...." It's why even Trump's own handlers won't let him use the phrase "drain the swamp" anymore. -
Just Moved From Boston - Explain This To Me!
Dr.Sack replied to Flip Johnson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We aren't far off. Offense QB - retain Tyrod and open up offense with Lynn's playbook WR - we need a tall threat who can run routes and catch 50/50 jump balls TE - a 6'5" or taller guy who can run the seam route and force the safeties back deep. RT - I like Groy at RG, and Miller going to RT and benching Mills. Maybe move Cordy to RT. and insert Cyrus at LT. Defense DT - another big guy who can plug the run when Kyle or Dareus are hurt / suspended DE - again wouldn't hurt to have another guy OLB - resign Zo MLB - Ragland CB - resign Gilmore SS - we need to replace A Will FS - Graham is okay but could use a younger guy in middle of draft K - Carpenter needs a successor P - Schmidt has been average bring in some comp -
Rex vs Belichick First 8 Seasons as a HC
Dr.Sack replied to Dr.Sack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
2016 for Rex, and 2002 for Belichick. Belichick was Cleveland's HC from '91-'95. -
Rex vs Belichick First 8 Seasons as a HC
Dr.Sack replied to Dr.Sack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And two AFC championship appeareances for Rex. -
INteresting analysis. Like Tim Graham I too can pull arbitrary numbers to prove my argument. Rex Ryan - 126 regular season games, 61 wins, 65 losses, 6 playoff games, 4 wins, 2 losses (2 trips to postseason) Bill Belichick - 128 regular season games, 61 wins, 67 losses, 5 playoff games, 4 wins, 1 loss (2 trips to postseason) Flame away ya'll..

Shaq Lawson appears overweight, slow to react, hesitant, underwhelming power, stiff/rigid, doesn't bend or dip, & is a liability when pursuing to the edge. His midsection is doughy, and his quickness laterally is comprised by a "clod-hopper" gait.

Denver must lose 1 of 2

Russ Brandon because he's that ass kissing talentless wimp that fired you in real life.
