Could Darnold end up backing up Allen in Buffalo?

This is shocking. I've never heard of such weather in a dome. -
the Old History of the Buffalo Bills
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I just missed the Rockpile for football by a couple of years. Went to quite a few Bisons games there as a kid though. Objectively it was sort of a dump by then but it was also sort of majestic and like a walk back in time. So as a kid, it was awesome. -

Yeah, that is high on my list of stuff to worry about. -

Week 9: Seahawks at Bills
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is Allen playing defense and special teams as well? -
Yup, sign two guys no other team wanted and start them against Russell Wilson the same week. Sounds like a great plan.

Best single play in Bills history
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great topic. Depends on how one defines "best" single play. This thread is 3 pages deep and no one has mentioned the single greatest player in Bills history. If we define it as "dominating individual performance" on a play, regardless of impact on Bills history or context, then some play by the Juice is likely #1. If you don't want to watch the entire video, I suggest checking out the 4 plays starting with him outrunning the entire Steel Curtain at 1:22 through the fumbled kickoff return for a TD. -
Cam Newton, he's good
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to prissythecat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What QB is he grooming? Is he brushing the hair of a Tom Brady doll? -
Other than the risk of high mercury content I don't....oh, wait, you said Tua? OK then in that case, No, I don't fear Tua.

The OP approached this like a politician...half truths at best. Printing only the negative portion of a much longer generally very positive assessment without including the link is deceptive. What's funny is I don't disagree with where he's going with the point being made about Edmunds. But the 'sleaziness' of presenting it this way turns people off to his argument when a few additional words clarifying these were the negatives only, and including the link, would have gone further towards perception of the validity of his opinion.

Not even close. I'll take the former over the latter. -
His wife AND his girlfriend go by "Smoke"? That's crazy.

Jeff Miers wrote the ultimate letter to Bon Jovi back in 2014 (from the Buffalo News): Dear Jon Bon Jovi: Recently, there has been a lot of speculation in the community surrounding the possible scenarios that might unfold should you choose to ride into Buffalo – on your steel horse, naturally – and purchase our beloved Buffalo Bills. Until now, I have not said anything publicly out of respect for the fact that, when it comes to sports, no one really cares what I think. However, there has indeed been bountiful conjecture on the topic of your potential plans, so I think it’s important that I clarify my feelings on this oh-so-hot topic, as a Western New Yorker who wasn’t born here, but actually chose to live here. As such a citizen, I was given the Bills as part of my “Welcome Basket,” whether I wanted them or not. As it turned out, after a short while, those being the Jim Kelly years, I wanted them. So, apparently, do you. Which raises some issues regarding your intentions. We, as guardians of the Bills, the proverbial prying parental units, have questions, naturally. Will you have them home at a respectable hour? What kind of a guy are you? Can we trust you with our beloved? Who will be doing the driving? Will responsible adults be present? And hey, man, who cuts your hair? Finally, and most importantly – Will you be planning on crossing the border during your “date”? ’Cause, I’ve gotta tell you, Jon, that would be a deal-breaker. Prom night will be ruined, if that’s what you’re thinking. Take your corsage, your high school quarterback good looks, your six-string and head on back to New Jersey. Speaking of Jersey, we understand that that’s where you’re from. We understand this because you’ve been harping about it for decades. You’ve harped about it almost as often as you’ve jumped on stage with a guy named Bruce Springsteen, who, we understand, is also from New Jersey. You of all people, then, should know that this Bills’ thing would not go over well here. As a Jersey guy, a guy who always will be compared to the original Jersey rock star, you should understand Buffalo. You know what it means to be made to feel inferior, to be thought of as second-best. But then I always found this attempted appropriation of the Springsteen common-man ethic a little bit suspect. It seems like you’re trying to be something you’re not. What song of yours would make us believe that you are the real thing, that you “get” Buffalo? Is it “Have A Nice Day,” perhaps? As far as paeans to the real struggles of working people in abandoned industrial towns not unlike the one in which you are now attempting to buy a football team, that one doesn’t exactly rank up there with Springsteen’s “Youngstown,” “My City of Ruins,” or even “Atlantic City,” does it? Is it your mega-hit “Livin’ On A Prayer,” with its blatant attempts to marry John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band to late 1980s hair metal? Doubtful. Maybe it’s your poetic lyrics offering insight into the indomitability of the human spirit, particularly among the forgotten and forlorn classes who would love to form the core of the American labor base if they were ever actually offered the chance, but instead spend most of their disposable income supporting football teams made up of multimillionaire athletes? Lyrics like “I’ve seen a million faces, and I’ve rocked them all”? That can’t be the one. One of the million faces you’ve seen repeatedly over the years has been mine, and I have to tell you, I didn’t like it much when you “rocked my face.” It didn’t feel like a shared, communal experience. It felt more like a night out at a sports bar in a strip mall, drinking warm Coors Light and listening to an elegantly coiffed cover band play a set of – er, Bon Jovi tunes. I’m sorry, Jon. I know we have a long relationship. You’ve been playing our sports arenas for decades, and you have always been greeted with screams of adulation. But we feel like our relationship has gotten a bit stale. We have grown older. And you have grown colder. And nothing is very much fun anymore. After all this time we’ve spent together, I feel you are at least owed honesty. So here’s the cold, hard truth, Jon: I think we should start seeing other people.
