  1. that was the game for me also. A Giants WR caught what looked like a long pass but on replay it clearly showed the ball hit the ground. Clear, plain, and obvious, to everyone except Bills in booth and/or Rex. No challenge by Rex. Then virtually same thing happened in Bengals game on long pass play at home later and then to triple dumb it down further the almost exact same thing happened on the road against the Chiefs later in season. A trifecta if you will. Then in another situation in Chiefs game to quadruple dumb it down Rex did not to challenge a clear short of first down run by Alex Smith that was not even close yet ref mistakenly marked it a first down. No challenge. Then Bills chaplain advise Rex not to challenge a Hogan catch that would have been allowed had he challenged. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/11/bills_rex_ryan_vows_to_change_system_for_challenging_plays_after_embarrassment_i.html There were other challenge mistakes also.
  2. Yes. Agreed. Game situation was of no consequence. Game was long over and Pats were going to win. Tee off on the cheap shot artist. Any Bill who would have decked Gronk would have gone down in Bills history as "The Man". I sure as hell would have done it for a little 26 k fine and maybe a game suspension. ***** it. Adam could not believe his eyes.
  3. He got market value. He is not worth twice that.
  4. Simple solution. Move election day to Veterans day. Only about a week difference.
  5. He should not be. Bills never scored TD with him on field. He should be QB coach if anything and Bills should get a 3rd QB that could actually play if they think they need a third. No guarantee Anderson makes the final 53 next year either. With his head HX he could be concussed by end of preseason and spend the year on IR acting as a QB coach. Win Win.
  6. not in a player coach situation. Players need to lead by example on the field. If you can no longer play well then transition to coach and mentor that way. That would be the old teacher ruse you state. How do I critic a RB when me as the starting RB can not be even avg.?
  7. He is like a Flacco, which means "flaccid in season" in Greek.
  8. You can't mentor if you play like *****.
  9. I can't kiss you long on the lips. If you were my son, I could.
  10. If I was Pitt i would send Brown to the worst team in the league so the draft pick compensation has more value. Don't do stupid like Bills did stupid. IE: trading with Super Bowl champs and contenders. F him. He ***** on the Steelers. Let him sit out with new team after the trade for all I care.(my short list for trade to, for mostly original team picks only, are: Raiders/Cards/Giants/Fins in that order)
  11. hockey fans. ? don't studies show individual season tix holder fans of NHL earn a lot more than avg individual NFL fans. ?? I mean seasons for NHL are a lot more than NFL. I guess you have never been to NC or Atlanta during a snow dusting "event" then.
  12. Let me see if I have this straight. Instead of having a few million call in sick or just not show up on Monday after Super Bowl and big cost to employers, we should make it a paid holiday and then EVERYONE does not show up and still gets paid for a much much higher staggering cost to employers.(you know this will be a mandated paid holiday if it ever comes to pass) These threads are funny as ***** sometimes.
  13. lol... I don't know about that. Irvin liked to keep it all I heard.
  14. Now way I pick up his 5th year option as he is not a 10 mill per year value. He is a nice OK player but if you give him 10 mill a year it is a hole you will not be able to climb out of, as the next contract will be expected to be at least 10 mill per year, or Shaqs agent is *****.
  15. Agreed. We can not have a holiday for every minute little cause or event. It will never end. If this is allowed may as well go to a 4 day work week 10 hrs a day and have every Monday off all year then all these special interest groups can pick a Monday to have their special day recognized. There are 10 to 12 holidays per year right now depending in what state you live in and what year it is. That is enough.
  16. lol... very true. I made a comment recently that after that game Rex, off to fire someone, got confused and walked into the wrong coordinator's office.
  17. can someone please fix the misleading headline on this thread. ESPN is clearly stating: would Bills trade White/Jones/Edmunds for Mahomes. The use of commas after blocks and Allen separate this thought. They are not asking for any scenario as to how Bills acquisition of, or draft picks spent for, or any changes after doing anything they already did in any scenario. If they had wanted Allen included in this debate they would have said 4 instead of 3. Allen was last one mentioned so he is #4. The question is a clear and simple hypothetical question: The use of the word trade does not mean, do you think Chiefs or Bills would could make this trade. It means would you wish you had this or this. Who would you rather have right now? White/Jones/Edmunds or Mahomes?
  18. Yes I was making a SOS joke. And sorry I did not realize that horn sequence you mentioned was a standard crossing blow even though I have heard crossing train blows forever. Thanks.
  19. take your time, because they have trademarked Nevada Raiders also.
  20. lot of opinion to consider. Davis family built up that brand and it has immense value. Why does he not own the name? And yet taxpayers and city in Oakland subsidized the team. Why do they not own it or able to eminent domain it to city? Stan Kroenke was going to LA come hell or high water and there was nothing NFL could do to stop him. He would have proceeded using the Raider model and likely would have won a lawsuit if NFL interfered too harshly, if it came to that. I do like the idea of your Raider solution. SoCal Raiders, Southern California Raiders, Golden Raiders. What about Golden State Raiders. Although since Golden State is not a city the GS Warriors could possibly object and sue. California Raiders probably best as you suggest. Then they could move anywhere in CA. Even SD.......
  21. This is a very good point. No definitive yes/no answer IMO. Some leagues retain the trademark team names and logos as part of their league and have kind of a proxy ownership. Some leagues own all franchises like fast food stores. Others like NFL seem to be on a case by case basis. Cities at times try to invoke eminent domain to take ownership of franchises and have all failed. It all depends on the legal contracts signed by franchises establishing their relationship with the league when league starts or expands etc etc......and ongoing negotiations when this matter comes up. Each situation is different. Arena, Indoor Football leagues, minor league BB leagues like CBA, and some obscure hockey leagues, have many instances where teams change leagues yet stay in same town and arena and are forced to re-brand due to legalities. Then in some cases the league went into bankruptcy and the current teams bought back the rights to their brand for small amounts on court auction bidding and went on as same name.
  22. just to clarify. You are correct in spirit. NFL, Modell, Browns, Dogpound fans behind lawsuit, City of Cleveland behind lawsuit, Baltimore, etc etc all agreed to keep Browns HX and colors/logos in Cleveland in return of a promise to get a new Browns team either by expansion or relocation in agreed upon time-frame.(1999 deadline) and Ravens to get Cleveland franchise moved to Baltimore and rebrand. As part of the deal all parties agreed to stop all litigation. So courts never ruled and unsure how they would have. NFL probably did not want a court deciding precedent and decided negotiation was the best way to proceed and settled for presumably what they thought was a better and fair deal for all.
  23. ??? ??? ? ??? in Morse code 2 longs, a short, and a long, signifies "Q" as one combined signal send. broken up it spells "MET" should it not be 3 shorts 3 longs 3 shorts ? http://www.askaprepper.com/10-ways-signal-sos/
  24. oh yeah. That is like sandpaper to the ear canal. Thanks for answering Bills bud. It was a soccer thing that inexplicably migrated to college and then onto NFL. Garbage crap.https://deadspin.com/5875933/how-the-song-seven-nation-army-conquered-the-sports-world released in 2003
  25. I think he has a slight chance if wind is strong in direction needed and he throws a perfect spiral running towards the wall. There is a gap between the M&T bank club and the Wall of Fame(Jim Richter). On that end after he scored he was very near the wall and when he cocked his arm it appeared he was aiming for that gap. Same gap on other side. Both gaps on that S end zone seem lower than the gaps on N end zone. Man if he could do it the sports headlines would be epic.........
