You guys are all out to lunch. This still photo DOES provide irrefutable, conclusive evidence that this was not a catch. Everyone is focusing on toe drags and possession, but none of you can see the forest for the trees. If you look closely at the footwork, what you will notice is that the receiver is wearing standard issue Buffalo Bills footwear. Clearly this cannot be a catch. Had this been Kraft-issued, Patriot themed footwear it would be readily apparent to the most casual observer that this was a catch worthy of 6 points. #sarcasm

JMO, but you shouldn't post such depressing thoughts this close to Xmas But yeah, that makes a ton of sense. Nice call, I hope you're wrong in so many ways.

Maybe the elves will draw up some schematics for you.

Maybe Santa will leave something under the tree that will help you out.

Didn't see this one coming. Minaya back in the fold: https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/omar-minaya-return-1.15557171

Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Slade - the band that Quiet Riot owes a debt of gratitude to. You missed a chance to mock this thread with the following:

Saw that show sitting in row ZZ at the Carrier Dome. I think that was the Who's first ever farewell tour.

Fair point about the farm system. Minaya and Alderson are polar opposites when it comes to trades and free agency. Minaya always wanted to make the big splash. I'm not sure where to draw the line between the owners cheapness and Aldersons conservative nature but I lean towards owners cheapness. I still think he'll bring in an above average position player before spring training.

I just saw that Alderson got an extension. I'm happy about that.

No clue how well known this is, but back in 2011 I came across the Slade Family Christmas Card and my family has looked forward to them every Xmas season since. Here's the 2011 card, if you're interested the others are easy enough to find. Happy holidays!

That's brutal about your friend. And I assume in line with OP trying to find a link to the guy who realized how fortunate he is that whatever happened wasn't worse. We take too much for granted. I laughed then and cringe now at some of the dumb stuff me and my friends did. For that reason, I can't/won't wish the worst for the table slammers.

I'll bet this guy was a Bills fan:

Maybe I missed it, but are we really 12 pages in with no Hendrix? This one is NSFW due to mammalian protruberances.

The NHL definitely limited the scope by originally allowing only reviews of goals (i.e - did it cross the line). I'm pretty sure that they went so far as allowing play to continue until a whistle and then going back to review a non-goal. But they did take the next step down the slippery slope when they allowed review of offsides calls after a goal was scored. Good points and I agree in principle. The problem for me is the refs were making blatantly bad calls and I think there should be room to correct those. It's just difficult to strike the right balance and now we're at a point where people are debating minutia that would be better left to the call on the field IMO.

And therein lies the problem with instant replay. At what point do we stop every single play and have someone in the replay booth check the all-22 for holding calls? Worse yet, we'll mic up everyone and throw flags for harsh/offensive language.

For me that perfectly sums up the problem with instant replay. It started as a necessity to correct the blatant bad/missed calls that every one saw on TV and knew were wrong. It was never intended to be taken to this extreme and it's changed how games are officiated and how we watch the games in a bad way. .

Somehow we got from Dunkirk Don to Trump. This thread just continues to entertain and amaze. Good stuff.

What I'm trying to figure out is how losing to the Falcons would have put us in a better position than we are in right now. Win out. Playoffs. (Sorry folks, this is a delayed response to the annual early season trollish/jack-assian post after we beat an NFC team claiming our playoff chances just worsened).

Saw it today and agree about the first half. I didn't care for the Laura Dern character. Was glad when she took one for the team. Did he definitively survive or get killed off? I didn't catch either and was expecting him to reappear late in the movie.

My memory sucks. Probably a contributing factor to being an out-of-town Bills fan for so long. Bills aside, me and the fam are going to see Last Jedi tomorrow. In preparation we watched Force Awakens tonight...mostly because I wanted to refresh my memory on the story line. Not long into the movie Po showed up and my synapses fired at the forgotten memory that Po was a dead ringer for Dweezil Zappa. My family agreed...including my harshest critic...wifey.

Didn't watch the video, don't care. Posthumously disparaging Ralph Wilson when the team is still in Buffalo and coming off a classic Buffalo hometown win is distasteful and pointless to me

I thought this Christmas song, which is a Christmas song, but not my favorite Christmas song and also not a Christmas song I hate was worth sharing. Instead of starting a new thread, here its is.
