Week 13 - 49ers at Bills Game Week Thread
Beck Water replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
That last sentence is true of course, but what it has to do with you and what you’re posting is unclear. You’re hear whining about the Bills moving games for snow whenever, when we all know that’s not true - then playing semantic games with “the governor didn’t say football couldn’t be played” when most folks with two or more functioning neurons can tell that if the Gov’t declares a travel ban, that includes all the people who need to travel to make a football game take place - officials, players, coaches, support staff, security, broadcasters, and Oh Yeah Fans. -

Thanks. I missed seeing most of the game live (Mom in ER) but I caught the beginning and the 4Q, and the Parrot Lady has my back -

Wait, what happened to Allen’s L hand? -

If you're looking at ROI, it's inarguable. The Bills under McDermott and Beane have invested the most cap dollars for the most meagre return at DL. If you're looking at fundamental talent level, we do have talent on the DL in Ed, Daquan, and Carter was looking good before the injury. I grant that Jones and Oliver have not played nearly as well as they did last season. It's possible that age has caught up with the 33 yr old Jones, or, that he never healed adequately from the torn pec that caused him to miss 10 games last season. He was originally reported "out for the season", and 10 weeks is a short time; high-grade tearreported to take 3-4 months. Ed Oliver missed two games with a hammy, and I thought he was playing pretty well before that. Jordan Phillips is kind of a special case for "guy we picked up off the street weeks ago", though, and to a lesser extent so is Q since they both spent time in the system. My argument for safety would be that Rapp is a known danger to his teammates and a mediocre starter in the past. Hamlin is not a danger to his teammates but is a mediocre starter. At least the guys on the team at DT have talent and played at a high level last season. Either age, or not recovered from the pec. It's not unheard of for guys to rush back to the detriment of their long-term level of play -

At a guess, they didn't feel they needed to back fill another position, so they decided to do Mike a "friendly" and get him a game check. Vet minimum with 3 accrued seasons (not sure, but think that's where White is) is $61,000 per game. Practice squad is between $16.8 and $21.3. So it's basically giving the guy a $40,000 bonus. -
All true but there are also scheme factors to beating man coverage such as designing rub routes and picks clever enough to pass un-called, and setting up so that in the coverage rules being used, they can exploit the weak link in coverage.

They were not high school boyfriend and girlfriend. Their families were friends and Britt danced at the same school as the eldest Allen girl so they knew each other, but Josh and Brittney didn't date until after Josh enrolled at Wyoming, and weren't close, either. Allen was busy being a multisport athlete and Brittney was dating someone else. How to tell us you're a misogynist without typing the words "I'm a misogynist". I don't care personally, as I don't personally know Britt Williams and what I do know doesn't seem like someone I'd have a thing in common with. But to speak that kind of insulting crap about any woman gives off serious Incel vibes. Not a good look. Dowhatcha like tho.

Someone on the Reddit group I linked up thread made the sardonic comment: "I hate when hackers post something unhinged enough to make me look bad but fully believeable based on how I conduct myself and then nothing more than that 🤪." There seems to be uncertainty as to whether it was a bartender, a UB soccer player, or Lydia Dominick Edit: or maybe it was all 3, IDK; I'm sure there's no shortage of women throwing themselves at Josh

I think some people (I might be one of them) were thinking "safety". -
Exactly, it's not a situation like the "plastic chick", where she was essentially a "financial dingleberry" who was hanging off Josh's money and status, completely dependent on him. Hailee has her own mansion in Encino, California (she bought John Fogerty's former house), her own investment portfolio, her own celebrity status. Yes, Josh's net worth is higher right now, but I'm sure she also wants to protect her own assets from failure of the pistachio crop or over-investment in Bitcoin or whatever. A solid and fair prenup is never a mistake though.

No. Seriously, I have no idea what you're on about.

Can you recall two devastating failures on the same weekend?
Beck Water replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall
I mean, he's disagreeing with your disagreement. So can you collect some other evidence? I can think of, for example, horrible clock management by Dak Prescott to lose a game for the Cowboys; showboating instead of jumping up and handing the ball to the ref by Chase Claypool that cost the Steelers about 5 seconds during their final drive that would have tied the game; I agree with @JGMcD2 that botching the crucial throw or the crucial catch or the crucial kick causes teams to lose games in the final seconds all the time, so with 32 teams playing every week the chances that this has happened in two games in a weekend seems pretty high. What's different here is that both games were the only game being played at that time and both nationally televised. -

once again the naughty word filter strikes - can't use s n a t c h But seriously - to anyone nurturing some conspiracy theory: look at Olympic athletes, these guys and gals are not only the best in their country, but the best in the world since for sports like diving, gymnastics, ice skating etc the countries that didn't have an athlete in the top 10 at the last Olympics need to place at world competitions to even qualify for an Olympic spot. These are athletes that can nail a triple back somersault with two twists and a Rip! entry all week in diving practice (or analogous) and Yet, when the pressure is on and it really counts, how often do we see them mess up? All the time.... it's one thing to have the elite athletic traits, and another to have the mental makeup that can handle the pressure flawlessly. I agree that there are symptoms of organizational incompetence or poor coaching (Caleb Williams may be indicative of that) but, there are also symptoms of humans making mental mistakes under pressure. Interesting book by Sian Beilock about it, called Choke (not to be confused with the novel by the same name): https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Choke/Sian-Beilock/9781416596189 -

No. I think people really do commit boneheaded acts under immense pressure, and when a lesser team has the chance to tie or win against a superior team on national television, yeah, the pressure is immense. -
Fitz - If you feel good about the Chiefs, you’re in denial
Beck Water replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Losing your two CBs is a significant loss. It's not quite "well, except for THAT Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?" level, but it's close. Chris Jones has been the heart and soul of the KC defense. Now age 30. I could be wrong but I do wonder if Cyborg successfully handles the Chris Jones of 2 years ago or even a year ago. -

Just Win baby. They all count the same. What's the saying, between "lucky" and "good", take "lucky"? They do seem to get a lot of breaks with calls and no-calls (on DPI especially) -
FWIW Britt Williams claims her accounts were hacked and she did not post this: As someone responded:
-
She was definitely into being a wealthy celebrity, except she wasn't.
-
I'm gonna go with "No".
-
I don't think she's taking it well.
-
This is kind of correct. It's true that their families are friends. They went to different high schools, Josh to Firebaugh and her to the "big school" nearby. According to an interview I heard with Brittany, she asked Josh to be her date for a Sadie Hawkins dance in high school....it went so "well" he blocked her for 2 years (they were on a party bus, she was evidently a bit wild and Josh was shy and put off by the goings on). They got back in contact after Josh got his growth spurt and started dating after Josh went to Wyoming. I don't know whether she was enthused about him before he had a high likelihood to become an NFL athlete, but she did seem to enjoy "being someone" by virtue of dating a celebrity.

for her, right? She is a wealthy woman and a celebrity in her own right Josh and his family seem to have put him on the right path as far as financial advisors and such, so I'm sure they both have good legal advice who will take care of all that.
