Preseason, man.... Darby will be fine. -
Jim Kelly vs Dan Marino: Better QB?
TheElectricCompany replied to ultimatebeing17's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
3 all time greats from the 1983 draft, can't go wrong with any of them. I'd rank them Elway->Marino->Kelly, but the gap between each is tiny. I do think that Kelly played with the most talent throughout his entire career. Marino did the most with less. Elway went out on top like few players ever get the chance to do, that was special. Eric Dickerson and Bruce Matthews from that draft too, incredible. -
Eclipse Buffalo: April 8th, 2024
TheElectricCompany replied to Captain_Quint's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Mazlatan, Mexico....anyone ever been? 4:20 of totality! I'd be down watching the eclipse from the pool bar. -
Allen Hurns may be available
TheElectricCompany replied to BillsDiehard's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the team just proved they don't want to invest that kind of cash in the WR position. -
The hype was over the top for areas outside of 100%, but if you were in it, no way, the hype is real. I have not heard from one person who wasn't blown away by totality. Even at 98%, you are not getting 98% of the "total solar eclipse" experience. Totality or bust.

I hope you haven't been living under a rock and have somehow missed the incredible pictures posted on every news site around, but in case you have... 360 degree sunrise/sunset colors through the sky. Day->night->day in minutes Corona visible with naked eye Diamond ring & Baileys Beads Rolling shadow of the moon, most noticeable if you're on a high piece of land and see the shadow racing at 2000 mph toward you. The strange view of the sun blocked by a black mass. Ask anyone who was in totality and they will tell you how mind blowing it is, but if you're outside of that strip, you won't know....

Eclipse Buffalo: April 8th, 2024
TheElectricCompany replied to Captain_Quint's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Good video that shows how quickly it got dark, then light again, in Jackson. https://pjmedia.com/video/cbs-reporter-absolutely-blown-away-solar-eclipse/ Totality is just a different ball game! Friend of mine is working in Moran, WY, called it a all time memory. -
Eclipse Buffalo: April 8th, 2024
TheElectricCompany replied to Captain_Quint's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Already told Mrs Electric that this is "forced family fun", 7 years out - #totalityorbust We'll be booking flights to Austin and Buffalo on Southwest, make a call 48 hours before based on weather. Early April in Buffalo doesn't offer the best weather conditions, but who knows what happens... I'd put Jackson,WY or Sun Valley, ID as #1 spots to view 2017, but 2024? Niagara Falls might be the top destination in the country. -
I'm not disagreeing with you on either of those points. That was in response to Chef's comments about 60% = noticeable cooldown, that I call B/S on. It is established that eclipses can modify weather, but again, without being in totality, you're not really getting anything that noticeable, unless you think 4 degrees and a 5mph wind speed change at 90% qualifies as such.
-
Yes, 100% vs even 99% is significantly different. The sun is quite bright after all. You don't need to be an expert to tell that not much happened for those in areas below 95% today. The effects were minimal and barely noticeably. All this will be moot in 2024, got to see that for myself.
-
Chef was at 60%, two cities I looked at near 70% showed a 1-2 degree temperature drop around eclipse time, which may not even be related too the eclipse (Boston & LA for reference). There was a 4 degree temperature difference here at 92% peak. 100% was reportedly 10-15 degrees, depending on location. So noticeably cooler at 60%? Not buying it. Now, darker? I guess if you want to argue about the indigo hue, which was noticeable, sure. I didn't think it was darker. Friends who live in northern UT and Fort Collins and were closer to 96% said the same. Shrader said the same thing about 95%. The effect was like you boosted shadow & highlights in your photo editor for 20 minutes. That's it. Not dusk or dawn, not evening color, just a ever so subtle change.
-
BS meter going off, BS meter going off... You enjoying "Dark Side of the Moon" and some treats with your eclipse? 92% here and you barely noticed anything, outside of the indigo hue.
-
92% - pretty underwhelming. Didn't get dark, no noticeable cool off, very anti-climatic. There was a nice filter on things, effecting the highlights and shadows, but otherwise, meh? 2024, no messing around, Austin or Buffalo totality, here we come.

Study: Millennials don't care about big jugs
TheElectricCompany replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Both are a waste of time, just go to a stripclub if you want to see boobies. Overpriced food & drinks and a cheesy environment. No wonder their numbers are dropping. -
Greatest WR you've seen in your lifetime
TheElectricCompany replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Marvin Harrison, TO, Randy Moss, all insane. I'm 29, I didn't really see peak Jerry Rice, so can't put him up there. I know he's still establishing himself, but OBJ is already up there. I can't think of a guy with a better highlight reel in his first three seasons. Of course, his stats are undeniable and unprecedented.
