  1. Ravens look dynamite but there's a saying about "any given Sunday" which is the reason they don't play the games on paper but actually strap 'em on and man up to find out who will win. Lots of things can happen with special teams plays, injuries, defensive scores...let's see how it goes.
  2. I see what you did there! Very clever.
  3. Henderson? You must be smoking something. (We know Seantrel is...)
  4. The jet lag will create significant challenges to visiting teams and for the London team on the road. West Coast-London in particular will be noticeable. Flying in Business Class and managing sleep and so forth makes it tolerable, but the brain and body can't be fooled. It takes close to a day per hour time zone change to adapt to the local timezone. 6 to 9 hours of time zone differences can only be overcome...maybe...if the visiting team departs for London on Monday for a game the following Sunday. I'm not an expert on this by any means but I have flown to Asia and Europe well over 100 times, read plenty of books and articles on it, spoken at length with co-workers doing the same thing, etc. Playing a sport at the highest level will expose even small gaps in physical and mental preparedness and energy levels IMO. Not sure if the NFL will care about this. The NFLPA might but probably can't (or won't) stop it from happening. Maybe it will be a bargaining chip to eliminate the Thursday night games which seem inhuman to subject players to that abuse a mere 4 days after the prior game.
  5. Not sure, but for reference the Buffalo and Rochester MSA's combined are 2.1M people whereas Portland-Hillsboro-Vancouver, WA MSA is 2.5M alone. It's surprisingly big. Only one NBA team for major league sports competition. I looked up median household income and it's roughly 40% higher in Portland vs. Buffalo (just for comparison purposes). Mo' money...
  6. Agree with this except Portland is probably large enough (25th largest Metro area in the US)
  7. His substance abuse was domestic beer you're saying? Or do you mean as compared to substance abusers in foreign countries?
  8. For me, the Browns always evoke Harmon dropping the game winner in the end zone. That was the height of the Bickering Bills prior to the super bowl run.
  9. McDermott did this to Milano earlier in his career too. It seems to have worked out.
  10. Yes, I'm wildly in love with the word wild.
  11. And yet, heading into this week he was the MOST accurate passer inside 20 yards. So he's wildly accurate too. That's just wild...
  12. Josh Allen's parents did something right when they raised that kid.
  13. Well...they did for Cornelius Bennett. That may be before your time.
  14. NFL officiating ruins another game. What a joke.
  15. Folks who don't appreciate the Pats greatness (a team I of course, despise) over the past 1.5 decades and instead attribute it to a "fix" are on par with flat Earthers.
  16. First world problems if that scenario occurs
  17. Except most of those runs are stopped within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage if it's another back...Gore's tackle breaking abilities haven't diminished at all. Even if he can't break a 20 yarder to an 80 yarder anymore, I don't think Singletary nor McCoy (anymore) have that kind of speed either. The home run threat RB is not on the roster this year. That's OK.
  18. So the next trade is Shaq Lawson for ? Then Yarborough is promoted and Ray is behind him on the PS. (Just spitballin')
  19. It's funny that this is even a viable metric by which to measure Bills fan's status.
  20. In my mind, I totally agreed with this comment. I can picture him running and getting into the endzone against Miami to win a game like it was yesterday. Then I just checked the stats....he had zero running TD's in his first three seasons, 2 in his 4th, and none in his 5th. Then 5 TD's over the last 6 years of his career in Buffalo (11 years total). So early on he actually didn't have too many. Weird right? Of course Kelly on this team would make them Super Bowl favorites in the AFC right there with Pats and Chiefs for sure.
  21. Hey, don't go all Howard Cosell on me now.... ?
  22. Double reading comprehension challenge here. Not in McBeane era and never left to play elsewhere. If we're going Kelly as an option then screw it I say Johnny Unitas...
  23. Employee in China. Everyone chooses an English name for use at work with the Americans. Actually, he was sort of a di*k so maybe they felt it appropriate. We have a Rainbow, Water, Focus, BigRain, and any other number of wonderful first names. I do know some Albert Wangs!
  24. We used to have a guy named Johnson Wang, which I thought was redundant.
  25. Any answer other than Bruce Smith is wrong. And folks who say "Eric Moulds" clearly didn't see Andre Reed play. One is in the HOF, the other one will not be.
