  1. Nice, I say next week we revisit this thread and add more pics of us with Mr Wilson....
  2. No, the jersey is the size of New Jersey...You must be one big dude...
  3. I watched the ceremony, sound was pretty bad, but the reaction was priceless. If anyone has a link to the ceremony, please post.
  4. My throat is hurting, but it was awesome! Limited talking this week, have to conserve for next week. Can't wait to bring the noise again!!!!
  5. Entered gate 7 at 12:30, took about 5 minutes to get through. Any one go through the gates with the metal detectors?
  6. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/ben-roethlisberger--steelers--upset--about-patriots--defensive-formations-125657675.html "They time it up in the cadence," Foster told USA TODAY Sports, smiling and shaking his head. "Yeah, that’s one of the things they do. Welcome to Foxborough."
  7. 1. Pittsburgh had plenty of chances, I cannot understand why they took Williams out at the goal line, he was running hard. 2. Then end zone throw was on the receiver, he has to know where the line is, should have been a TD. 3. That could have turned the game around, reminded me of Rory Fitzpatrick looking up for the puck... 4. There were times that no one lined up against Gronk, the new DC better get his act together, poor communication. 5. 6. 7. 8. All those people who said they would rather face Brady than Garoppolo in week 2 are freaking crazy!
  8. As long as he doesn't start day dreaming when an official announces "4th and a foot", I'm cool with it...
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanfairpwllgwyngyll] easy when you sound it out: http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/say.php LLAN - FAIR - PWLL - GWYN - GYLL - GO - GER - YCH - WYRN - DROB - WLL - LLAN - TY - SILIO - GO - GO - GOCH LLAN - To start off with, pronounce this section as you would do the Scottish word "clan".Then listen to the sound recording above taking particular notice of how the "ll" is pronounced. It is difficult to explain in words and is more easily learnt by oral example, but we will have a go here anyway. Lie your tongue flat in your mouth so that the tip is firmly touching the bridge behind your front teeth. Keeping the tip of your tongue in place, try and touch your back teeth with the sides of your tongue - now breathe out forcing the air to run strongly over the back of your tongue. This will cause a vibrating noise near your back teeth. Again, keeping the tongue in position, gently change the shape of your tongue until the sound becomes more controlled. This is the "ll" sound you are looking for. Listen to the sound file above and keep on practising. FAIR - Simply pronounce this section as you would the english word "fire", (not like you would expect to pronounce the word "fair" in english!) and change the "f" for a "v". PWLL - Now you have been practising your "ll" sound this will be a little easier to explain. The "pw" section is pronounced like the "pu" in the english word "put". Now add the "ll" on the end as described above. Now listen to the sound file again! GWYN - You may have heard the Welsh name "Gwyn", well this is pronounced in exactly the same way. Just say the english word "win" and put a "g" in front of it. (pronounce the "g" as you would in the word "gone"). Easy. GYLL - This is a bit more tricky. First say the english word "gil" (as associated with fish!"). Then change the "l" (as in "let") to "ll" as explained above. Listen to the sound file again. GO - Looks easy doesn't it - it is! Pronounce it as you would the "go" in "gone" GER - Simply say the word "care" but change the "c" for a "g". YCH - Like the pronunciation of "ll", this is another tricky section to explain. Think of something you don't like and say "yuck". Now take the "y" from the beginning to leave "uck". Now change the "ck" to "ch" as pronounced in the Scottish word "loch". WYRN - This looks more complicated that it is. Just say the english word "win". DROB - First say the english word "draw" and then add a "b" on the end. Easy. WLL - You've learnt this already. It's pronounced the same as "pwll" above but without the "p". LLAN - Again, this is exactly the same as the "llan" at the beginning of this section. TY - Simply pronounce this section as you would the "t" in "twig". SILIO - Just say "silly - o". The "o" is pronounced as in "cot". GO - As above. GO - As above. GOCH - We're almost there. Simply say "go" as above, put the "ch" after it and that's it! Put it all together and keep on practising.
  10. Ah, I get it now. I had thought it was his name, but now know it was the location of the last tech support guy i spoke with....
  11. No, it would not have been my ideal situation, but I am optimistic that it could be. I have to see him take snaps for real before I can get there. I am excited about the possibilities of this offense with him behind center though and it's looking a whole lot better than anticipated. GO BILLS!!!!
  12. My brother-in-law really sold it to me. He says he enters a $25 weekly contest/league, where you select a lineup within a given budget. Then he enters a $25 50/50 league. Apparently you only have to beat half the teams in the pool to double your money, he does this to hedge his original bet as he doubles his money in the 50/50 way more than not. I may not have all the facts correct as I am still looking into it as well, but that's how I understand it, and would probably use a similar philosophy.
  13. Shaking my head yes, but saying stfu....the whole heart vs head thing...
  14. C'mon, how many people are starting Tyrod...We got this!
  15. yes, very annoying. But just goes to show what a brilliant idea it was, they have tons of cash for advertising, so I have to give them that...
  16. Maybe you're just young, because I could not live with that, that would totally suck...How many years has it been since the Bills won 10 games, how many more years before they do it again. 9-7 and miss the playoffs, so be it, but 10-6 and miss would haunt me all off-sesaon and beyond....
  17. I dropped out of my traditional FF league this season and want to sign up for FanDuel or DraftKings. Any experience with these? Are there other options?
  18. Although it's too early in the season to know who we should want to win this game, we can reason that *NE will be near the top and I feel Pitt will compete for a wild card (But I don't expect too much from them). If that holds true, we probably want *NE to win. But if Pittsburgh wins and when the Bills beat *NE the following week, the Bills have an early edge at the division. I always shoot for the division and hate the *Patsie's, so go Steeler's!!!! I have to agree, i really didn't read the choices until your post. Adding those comments can definitely sway a vote or two. Simply put *Patsie's and Steeler's...
  19. Great line: When they come to the NFL, it’s as if they’re being told to stop playing speed checkers and start playing chess.
