How confident are you going into tonight's game?
SirAndrew replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Unsure, it doesn’t change my high hopes for the season. It’s just the fact these opening night games can be weird. -
I give college football credit for adding some better week one matchups over the years. Pitt vs West Virginia was great, and there’s some great games coming up this weekend. Michigan vs Colorado State at noon on ABC is reminds me how CFB week one used to drive me crazy.

Agree. I’m on the younger side, but I’d rather watch these guys play in a wheelchair than listen to fake computerized “music”. I’m open to all styles of music, and love to hear new stuff, but these guys will always have an audience when the mainstream pumps out trash.

Tom Brady Away From Bucs to "Deal With Some Personal Things"
SirAndrew replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall
So true, it’s strange to see a football player looking like Brady, but sadly the descent into becoming Michael Jackson is quite popular amongst wealthy middle aged folks. -
Bills @ Carolina Preseason Game Thread (kickoff now @ 7:36pm)
SirAndrew replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah, it’s bizarre. He’s obviously not a starter, but I thought he was a little better than a one-read guy. Keenum is a veteran, he looks like a rookie third stringer trying to make the roster. I don’t expect huge results from any backup, it’s more the issues you’ve pointed out which confuse me. -

He seems exactly like the type of QB’s we embraced as our saviors for many years. -

I know it’s against our backups, but Mayfield can do some things when he actually cares. -
Matt Araiza accused of rape, served with a lawsuit.
SirAndrew replied to bill8164's topic in Off the Wall
That’s not what we want, but I think people should be less judgmental as whole in that case. I’m not encouraging any type of “mob”, I just think it’s naive to believe there aren’t plenty of guilty people walking the streets, while people can be put away on the same level of accusations. It’s a matter of circumstances in many cases. He said/she said things are very sticky, and there’s a fine line between guilt and innocence. If you’re never going to judge the “innocent” when all signs look really bad, you probably shouldn’t judge the guilty too harshly either. I’ll leave it at that, I know this is more of a personal belief thing from things I’ve witnessed. Your points are all valid . -

SirAndrew replied to bill8164's topic in Off the Wall
I agree, we have no other way to judge these things. I’m just saying the legal system isn’t always spot on. There’s a ton of variables required to prosecute someone, including the police end of it. I think we get it right more often than not, but just because someone isn’t in jail, doesn’t mean they didn’t commit a crime. That doesn’t mean their life should necessarily being ruined, it’s just strange when people act like it’s a sure thing nothing happened just because someone isn’t in jail. -

I agree, that’s how employment works, but I was commenting more on the court of public opinion. I’m making the point that we never know with certainty what occurs at places we aren’t present. Yet fans like to give athletes the benefit of doubt. If he were a random dude, and that story makes the newspaper, everyone would agree he’s a terrible person, even if it’s not true. Athletes always have a choir of defenders. -

Interesting how DeShaun Watson wasn’t charged with a single crime, yet some Bills fans want the legal system to play out before dumping Araiza. We’re unanimously against Watson, yet these allegations are far more disgusting, but I guess he’s our guy to some. -
Do "we" the buffalo community put to much pressure on Josh?
SirAndrew replied to gordong's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree, if a pro athlete can’t handle external pressure, they’re in the wrong profession. I emphasize external pressure, because I can understand how the pressure an athlete places on himself could be troublesome. I’ve always assumed that pro athletes enjoy the adulation of fans, but doubt they take fans very seriously. If the pressure of social media posts, sports radio callers, and assorted random dudes is too much, the athlete has bigger issues. Fans are crucial to the existence of pro sports, but ultimately athletes play for themselves and teammates. These guys have accomplished a lot with their lives, they aren’t playing for Bill in Tonawanda. I’m not saying they don’t appreciate fans, sharing the joy of sports with them, but I don’t know if they are truly concerned with disappointing us. -
The next team to sign him shouldn’t give him a huge contract, but there’s a big difference between Matt Stafford and Daniel Jones. Golladay hasn’t impressed, but the Giants are a disaster.
