dollars 2 donuts

Truer words may have been spoken before...but I just can't think of them right now. so let's just go with every word you said. The justifications made over the years for trading away what even then seemed like a future hall of famer have been mind boggling.

@MrEpsYtown @The Wiz @elroy16 @SouthNYfan Was reading TSW on my iPad awhile back, but on the big screen tv in the living room I had a Bills twitch game on. Rarely do players play as the Bills and it gives me a Bills experience similar to game day...meaning a game I can't control. Anyways, my wife came in and asked, "Didn't you already see this game?", thinking it was one of the real Bills games I Dvr'd. Look, it is not so life like when you hold it up to direct scrutiny, but in passing Madden is a nice pass time, especially if you are a fan. Edit: btw, the game was especially pleasurable as The Bills were up on the Patriots 28-17 at the time I was watching. Let's just call it my version of fantasy football.

Always will thumbs up a Madden thread.

Tannehil being out the whole year and San Diego getting lost early in the season.

With some leak like this occurring I just think the demand to be in attendance at this event is just going to grow considerably.

Yes, WMD, and wasn't there some idiot out there who said either we could go 2-14 or that there was a chance (or a different guy said it) the Bills could go 0-16? wish I remembered who these mental giants were.

That's why they call it faith. Yep, the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen. Regardless of any religion, it is the reason why a team that doesn't warship at the almighty passing game (to the utter consternation and criticism of NFL insiders and talking heads alike) and yet confoundingly gets into the playoffs.

My bad, especially as I always knew this as a kid...38-38, including the playoffs.

Finished with a winning record. 37-36. heartbraking to me as a youngling seeing them get to 4-2 in the '82 strike shortened year, wherein 5-4 virtually guaranteed you a playoff spot in the only 8 team per conference playoff year in league history...and they lost their last three games and finished 4-5.

I may have mentioned it somewhere in this thread, and sorry if someone has since mentioned it, but doesn't it seem like that McCarron locks in on his targets early. Jeepers, on one of those (forgive me, haven't watched in a bit, but remember it) i think he was staring at his receiver even before the ball was snapped.

Tom Brady does the dishes in his house. ...the plastic ones, after a bar-b-que. ...and Giselle works the grille.

I remember David Humm as a Buffalo Bill. AHowever, knew nothing about his Raiders life and what he meant to them, even though his stats are e trembly limited. The only three TDs of his career came in his first season. he passed away on March 27th due to complications from ms. http://www.raiders.com/media-vault/videos/Behind_The_Scenes_Raiders_Visit_EA_Sports/e9e898e3-7f39-4f61-8c60-b5d74b0b9e39 Forgive the above, as I have tried twice and can't link to the proper video. However, it is on the scroll below in the link that you can click.

We're the details ever released of what Matt Kofler died from? a shame, he was only 49.

Very well said and a number of great points. I bow to you, Sir. ...I am at the office right now and the bowing is a little awkward...people are talking. I'm going to stop now, but you get the idea.

Oldman, we also really have to start wrapping our heads around what this regime is going to be asking this kid to do. Which I believe is: make the mid rang throws (10-20 yards), be able to move while making those throws, but hold your horses a bit as we are still primarily a running teams so even given that big arm don't expect to do it more than 30 times a game. Allen may only throw 30 times a game, and he likely still may only complete 17 of those passes (56.6%). The hope is those passes do more, travel farther and keep the chains going up field along with our running game. I think even a steady diet of 7.5-8 yards per attempt (225-240 yards per game) helps this anemic passing game out a great deal.

@Magox I love the term "phantom pressure". It is so descriptive and so accurate. Yes, Mag, that is definitely a real thing with this young man. Great post, btw.

Agreed. I think in June or July we see this team add either a WR or OL veteran using the 5-6 million in cap space (outside of the believed 5-6 in reserve the want to keep and their rookie signing dollars). ...or a LB.

Juice, so much truth in what you said here I wish I could add an extra thumbs up.

Sorry to be speaking out of school a bit on the OT, but didn't someone here also link to a stat that showed that Allen was far and away (maybe by as much as more than 50%) the QB that had the most yards passing through the air before the ball got to his receiver? I bring it up from the strained point (with little to back it up, mind you) that as the ball travels further through the air, there is likely a greater variable on what can happen, either with the coverage or even the receivers perception of the catch that has to be made, as well as the type of pass that needs to be thrown. For example, if I am standing next to oldmanfan, maybe 6-7 feet away, accuracy and precision go a little bit out the window as even if these measures are off, because as we toss the ball back and forth we can recover fairly easily given the limited variation on the equation of what can happen...I could be high, low, whatever on every single toss, but it will still be just a toss and there is little in between us that can change what is going on. As that distance grows I think things are a little more up in the air, no pun intended. I can have a higher completion percentage on shorter throws even if the throws are erratic assuming the above interpretation is sound, accuracy and precision be damned. My main point is even if this kid is 50-50, if the throw goes almost 10 yards I will take that as much on 3rd down as I would take someone who is 60-40, but the pass goes 6 yards and the receiver is stopped before the first down marker. Again, my apologies as it is slightly off topic, it's just this thread made me think of it.

Thumbs up up from me, GL, because I think you on to something with that.

Jauronimo i I laughing right now because I am actually thinking about your comment in the other thread last week...the animal reference, about something being cold blooded and another fact...dammit, I can't even totally remember, just that laughed for awhile.

Amen brother!

Just to add to the above, I hate the Miami Dolphins. When they were on...jeepers, I almost liked them, regardless of the way the show makes a team look (which is usually pretty good). Why is that something any organization wouldn't want? I know we are not eligible, but still.

Red dog, I know this only goes up to 2014, but it does answer your questions.

OK, OK, I regret going down this road. And officially, let this stand as my apology to the guys...I thought it was funny, but they were valid with their points (as all of you are) with your comments. (Oh, and dd, just because I regret it does not mean I am not laughing at your post!)
