if your not feeling buffalo football
Poleshifter replied to buffuct's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. Lots of folks can't see past the gloom. Last year's fat ass coach didn't feel like coaching, so handed it off to the OC or to his fat ass brother (trying to revive Rob's career). I am always optimistic when a new coach comes in, but McDermott is different. I expect he will be a successful HC here for an extended period of time. I believe they got it right this time. Many posters here just whine because they never heard of Tre White or Dion Dawkins. I am excited to see what Dawkins can do. The RT position was finally addressed. -
What would your draft have looked like?
Poleshifter replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Blokes, don't you feel a more urgent need for help at RT? You leave that position to a late 6th round hopeful. I am very glad they targeted Dawkins and then found a way to get him. Some people feel OK with trading up for Zay Jones, perhaps because they had heard of him in lots of pre-draft chatter. But most fans (myself included) had never heard of Dion Dawkins before - because he was listed as OG - and I only knew of the top 5 OTs. -
I am glad we did not draft...
Poleshifter replied to youthemanog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have to disagree with you here. He does not seem at all like a weed user. He is very negative and uptight - nothing like the relaxed weed smokin' type of person you might expect with Bud and 420 in his screen name. -
RD 2, Pick 63: Dion Dawkins (OT) - TEM
Poleshifter replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think BurpleBull is going to pan out as a poster. Seems too moronic, with short attention span. -
RD 2, Pick 63: Dion Dawkins (OT) - TEM
Poleshifter replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Major, yes indeed those are picks well spent! Some people are unable to see the value of spending multiple picks to get to a critical player. They pine for the player that traded pick could have become! Those extra picks should definitely be used as ammo when you need to target a particular player. I love what the Bills draft team are doing so far. I had not heard of Dawkins, because he was listed as a guard. Then to read his story was great. Here is the RT we have been dreaming about. -
That Tampa deal kind of sucks - Bills gain a 2nd rounder, but give up a 5th and lose 9 spots in the 3rd??? No way, that just seems like bad value.

Marshawn Watch, Currently at Raiders facility
Poleshifter replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I really enjoyed seeing Marshawn on the Bear Grylls' Running Wild program. That was a very gutsy thing for Marshawn to do, since he could have been at home chillin' on the couch. On the show, he rappelled down mountains and such, and had to face some fears. Pretty cool stuff. I really like the guy, and hope he gets to play with the Raiders this year. -
No. I suppose we are stuck with him, being on the wall of fame already. But I do not think he should ever be recognized (invited for homecoming game, etc) by the organization. Perhaps when OJ dies, they can issue a statement of condolences, but I would hope they never reach out to recognize or support him in any way. Should they remove him from the wall of fame? No, I don't think so. But no further contact is necessary.

Andre Holmes claims he isn't signed, Reporters disagree
Poleshifter replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hey BillsMedia, you will find a boatload of this "sarcasm" here at TSW. One of the more useless posts is "Championship" whenever a low level player (or someone the poster has not heard of) is signed. -
^This. The so-called "reporting" the OP speaks of is that sports version of fake news, some of which seems to come from guys that live in their parents' basement. It is the off-season, and people "report" all kinds of speculative rubbish. Just stop reading all that crap. I know Bills fans are hungry for news, but good God, make some better choices in what sports gossip you believe.

How are the Bills going to attract FA's
Poleshifter replied to Santana's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't understand this "humiliation" reference. It sounds like you buy into all the Bills gossip as though it were gospel. The Rex hiring was bad. The Pegulas suffered from the NFL Owner learning curve, and bought the lies of a fast talking snake oil salesman. I think they have remedied that bad hire by hiring a guy like McDermott. Free agents will sign with the Bills, although there are limits in cap space. But all this humiliation talk makes no sense. There is so much "fake news" in the sports world, and particularly when the local newspaper has an adversarial relationship with the local sports team. This whole thread seems to be based on a non-issue. -
Coach McDermott is very quiet
Poleshifter replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Absolutely refreshing! After that blowhard that just loved to hear himself talk, I love McDermott's demeanor. I think he will be a very good coach in the long term, not another 2-3 year washout guy. -
Terry Pegula on WGR550 12:30 Today
Poleshifter replied to Hammered a Lot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think those flat brims make the person wearing it look kind of stupid. I mean, don't you bend the brim in a curve to make the hat fit better on your head?!? But then, I am a relative geezer, I suppose. It's hard to figure some things the current young generation likes. -
How has Patrick Lewis performed filling in for Wood? Did anyone observe late season games from an OL perspective?
-
What a dick. There has to be a massive learning curve for new NFL owners. Especially with a business cycle of 12 months, you may have to take some lumps at first. Yes, they got bamboozled by a smooth talking loudmouth who talks a good game. Rather like a snake oil salesman, that old Rex. I am happy to see McDermott take over, and I believe we are now in good hands. Maybe you can change your handle to FireRex or FireAnthony or maybe even FireSean to keep up with the times? Oh well, enjoy yourself.

RIP Bruce. We'll try to remember only the good times...

Plane Carrying Brazillian Soccer Team Crashes; 76 Dead
Poleshifter replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Off the Wall Archives
http://www.zetatalk.com/ning/03de2016.htm The Avro RJ85 crashed due to electro-magnetic pulse (EMP), endured as it crossed over the plate border between the S American Plate and the North Andes Plate. Some assign the North Andes Plate to the S American Plate, and others assign it to the Caribbean Plate, as it has rock attachments to both. Though this region has not had heavy EMP before, the S American Roll is on the move, with an aggressive uptick. Pilots would be wise to avoid this plate border if possible, as it is subject to pressure from more than one source, and thus is likely to be under almost constant EMP in the future. -

TNF: Creamsicle Dolphins at Bengals
Poleshifter replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why isn't the game on CBS? They are just showing highlights at commercial breaks of other shows.
