You will be arrested if you go to the Bills Stadium on Sunday
blacklabel replied to T&C's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I drove down Abbott earlier and as I passed by all the lots I started to envision them packed with cars and a sea of Bills fans making their way to the stadium. I could smell the food being grilled, I could hear the buzz of excited fans ready to turn that buzz into a deafening roar of support for our Buffalo Bills. I could hear the random announcements over the PA. I could see the teams warming up on the field. I could feel the tension rise as the sounds of a stampede charged through the stadium followed by the introduction of Josh Allen, Legend of the Shorts himself. And then... I could hear the voice in the back of my head... And it said unto thee, "Haha, not this year, loser! 2020, b*tch!" -
They intend on re-signing Andre Roberts, that's probably why.

Why is Marcel Dareus still a free agent?
blacklabel replied to Brennan Huff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I always felt bad for Marcell. So many people in his life that he was close to just up and died. Many of them before he even finished high school. That said, he had ample opportunity and resources, as well as plenty of people in his corner to overcome and turn into one of the top DTs in the game. We know that Kyle Williams took him under his wing. But when Dareus left, Kyle more or less said, "I tried, but you can't reach everyone." At this point in his career he's made his money which, I'm pretty sure was the sole motivating factor for him. He doesn't seem too concerned with trying to win a championship. And I don't think he's a "locker room cancer" as some like to say. I think that term gets thrown around too much and should only apply to players who truly fit the description. With Dareus, I'm sure teams are hesitant to bring him in because they probably don't want their young guys to pick up on his practice and preparation habits which are probably at the level of "do just enough not to get yelled at." Either way, with COVID playing a role and the possibility that teams may be sent scrambling for replacements, I'd say his chances of playing this year are probably better than average. -
Is anyone else less invested in this season than normal?
blacklabel replied to Cal's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's been a real strange last 10 months. Lost an important family member to suicide two days before Turkey Day last year. So while the Dallas game was awesome, I kinda sat there dumbfounded as I watched. Then my wife and I miscarried. And then the rona. And then adios my job. Despite the miscarriage, we're expecting the next Lil' Bills fan by the end of January. Tensions in this country have only gotten worse. I don't think our "leadership" has done a very good job in handling a pandemic. Other democratic countries who looked way worse off to begin with now have things under control and the US doesn't, which is an embarrassment. Seems like a game feels trivial in all of this right now. And like it or not, politics and current event issues are gonna be a part of the season. Everyone gets a say, that's democracy, that's how this ***** works. That's why I've never understood the morons who always scream "stick to [name of profession]." I've always wanted to ask them, well what do you do, Cleetus?! You a forklift operator? Stick to forklifts! You a janitor? Stick to floor buffering! It's just so dumb. All that said, yeah, I'm not as focused on da foosball as I normally would be but I'll still pay attention this season. Just the Bills luck that they've put together one of their best teams in two decades and the world decides to fall apart. -

CBS power rankings..Cowboys 4th, Bills 26th?
blacklabel replied to mjd1001's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
People get paid to write steaming piles of cow dung like this? What a freaking moron. I wanna punch him. Right in the snout. -
I think they like that Bass can probably boom it through the back of the end zone on kickoffs whereas Hausch wasn't able to do that consistently.

If you're getting kicked in the balls enough to go and do this then you're probably doing something wrong lol At this point, I'd say almost if not all of the media we have reporting on camp have had nothing but rave reviews on him. Joe B even thinks they'll move on from McKenzie and use Davis in the slot at times when Beasley comes out. IMO I don't think they'll cut McKenzie, I think they like his versatility a lot and he can take on return duties if Roberts were to get hurt. But yeah, Davis has been great so far. Hopefully he can carry it into the season.

[Misleading Title] Mr Negativity
blacklabel replied to WIDE LEFT's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oh man, if I could do implants, I would. Been thru the ringer with the dentist. Had a drill dropped on my face, stabbed in the gums, said, "Ow, I can still feel that" and was met with, "Nah, you're fine, hold still." Braces, fillings, root canals, apeico, etc. I'll blame mom and dad for the soft teeth genes but I wanna simultaneously punch my "I didn't have a cavity until I was 41" brother. -
[Misleading Title] Mr Negativity
blacklabel replied to WIDE LEFT's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It definitely is a concern. What's the protocol if a player does indeed test positive? Do all the guys in his position group that he shares a meeting room with have to go sit out for two weeks? I mean, could you imagine something like, "Dion Dawkins tests positive for the rona, had been in close contact with every single OL and OL coach on the team" so does that mean he and all 15 other OL (yeah, yeah, I know it'll be 7 or 8 for the regular season, I'm speaking in generalities and currently there are like 15 OL in camp) have to go quarantine for two weeks? What are they gonna do, scoop up some dudes off the street, slap some pads and a helmet on them and say, "Go block Aaron Donald, fella!" It's just such an unknown variable. I think they probably should've done something like the NBA bubble. I know logistics on that are difficult but figure something out at least. Or hey, maybe our leaders could've taken this stuff seriously when they were first told of it back in November/December, we'd be in much better shape. I don't care which way you mean politically, the way this country has handled this whole thing has been a friggin' embarrassment. We got a toddler in office saying crap like, "It'll just go away!" Yeah, sure. I don't mean to go so far off topic but I'm getting tired of people not taking this thing seriously. My in-laws just HAD to go visit my brother-in-law down in Indiana. Guess who can't breathe after a few steps and shows every friggin' symptom of COVID? That's right, my conspiracy theorist brother-in-law who's been convinced all this time that all of this is just some kinda conspiratorial BS. And my mother-in-law today, "We wanted to stop by and use the grill" no, no you may not. You've been back for four days, you're both over 60, your son is suspended from his job until his results come in, go get tested! Aye yi yi. Again, sorry, I got a GD tooth infection and I'm fussy. -
How will Bills Defense the Run Pass Option?
blacklabel replied to Old Coot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This here is gonna sound crazy but it might just be a revolutionary way of thinking...they're gonna tackle the guy with the ball. -
Ugh, can't believe they re-signed this guy when letting him walk would've resulted in two fifth round comp picks. Don't youse people know how goshdurn valuable those comp picks are?! And all you losers wanna throw it away on some rinkydink head coach who has completely turned this organization around! Pff. Youse guys wish you knew the foosball.

Forget Diggs! These 4 Free Agents need to produce!
blacklabel replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow, yeah, look at those monster mega deals those guys got. They'd better produce or they're gonna have to answer to me and this forum! I've developed an algorithm that'll show whether or not these guys are worth the money. Considering not a dang one of them has any sacks or even tackles, I'd say they're stealing this money straight out of MY pocket. Cause see, I'm a fan, and I pay the salaries! Therefore, I must keep an eye on said salaries and players so I may know exactly when to cut these players to save money on my precious salary cap. These guys are bums! Ain't produced nothin! Cut em and sign some other guys that maybe I heard of but either way, know that I know more than McBeane ever will and if they don't listen to me then they'll lose every game ever. I'm watching you, Wazowski...always watching. -
Tom Brady said learning new playbook is tough

I hope you get all the plays wrong, Tom. I hope your Tampa endeavor is an unmitigated disaster. I hope you stub your toe on every piece of furniture you own. I hope you lose your stupid playbook! -
Another Bills reporter trying to make himself the story
blacklabel replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is he the authority on what is and isn't acceptable? He's not entitled to receive a certain type of answer. If Fromm prefers to keep quiet about those texts and move forward from it, then that's fine. If that's unacceptable to a reporter then I guess that's too bad for him. He isn't owed any sort of specific response to his questions. -
Report: bills wanted to draft Wilson/Prescott
blacklabel replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, that's where I was going with it. I mean, it's not a bad idea to draft players from schools that are perennial winners, but to expect that those players will somehow create that winning culture when they arrive here was short-sighted. -
Report: bills wanted to draft Wilson/Prescott
blacklabel replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Wilson stuff has been talked about for ages. Even right after that draft they were lamenting the fact that they graded him too low. IIRC, around that time it came out that Seattle was literally the only team that had a third round grade on him. Everyone else had a fourth round or later grade on him. And I recall rumblings in 2016 that they had major interest in Dak, but I don't think it was said that Whaley was all in on Cardale. From what I can remember, Cardale was like the consolation prize because they'd missed on Dak. Imagine how much more of a whoopin' Whaley would've taken if both Dak and Cardale were still on the board and he took Cardale over Dak. Yikes. Dude's a good scout but not a great team builder. His whole philosophy of drafting from winning programs in hopes that picks from those schools would somehow bring that winning magic with them was bogus.
