I think you guys are intentionally missing the obvious point in order to brag about your football knowledge, lol.

I disagree, he is not saying the game cant be understood. He is saying that without knowing what play was called and whether it was correctly communicated, any assumption made about what went wrong is only that, an assumption. Might be correct, might not.football can be enjoyed at multiple levels. most fans don't understand what they're seeing, and could care less.. because it in no way impacts the enjoyment they get from watching a game.
at it's simplest level, you can watch the ball.. those trusted to advance it, and those trusted to stop them. that in itself, is a compelling ballet of brutal individual battles. there's no need to for a strategic understanding of how and where these anonymous gladiators meet each other, play after play - all one needs is an appreciation of how fiercely contested those meeting are.
some fans think they understand what they're seeing, but their opinions are less their own - than the product of popular opinions shared by others - who also think they understand what they're seeing. the author of this piece fall into this category of fan... but his personal revelation regarding his limited understanding of the game doesn't impress me, because he qualifies his lack of understanding by assuming the game cannot be understood by anyone other than those in the huddle or on the sideline. that's just being lazy. there are no secrets on the football field - especially after the whistle.

True, but that 1 Brady thread represented 200 pages of content. Agreed, though, its interesting.

i didn't say they were a bunch of losers? It was just an observation.
He was making a joke because we do it with the ***Pats

Other than the fact that our hurry up O is slower than most teams regular O, I am happy with where we are at.

My apologies, hammer... I live in nyc so most of my games are away! But i haven't missed a home opener in 15 years, and your lot is almost impossible to get in on opening day, especially since most of my crew is driving from Jamestown. But noth lots are awesome...

Nothing personal Hammer, but Steve-O has it right. You have the rockingest parking lot, but the lot across the street is awesome! You can still get a spot by 8:30, they have a good garage band (literally in the garage), and even make space for our crappy old RV. Plus the ladies love the indoor bathroom, even though it is on a bizarrely elevated toilet (my theory is that it improves the camera angles). Nothing better than Bills tailgating, as seen on Deadspin......The O's will be across the street from Hammer

Isn't that DC Tom's job?
I find that I enjoy Tom's insults much more than Baldol's. They are somehow less insulting.

5) Rambo's starting to really come around. That was a huge 'beat him off the football' hit he laid out.
Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

One down.....

BALL GAME!!!! (unless.... you know)
Unless we kneel 3 times and then Carpie shanks it?

What kind of question is that? Do you even watch the games, bro?
Every single one, bro!
I was wondering the same thing. Really, I'm wondering if he left out some punctuation? Is he asking why we watch as in the reason, or is he asking if we literally watch? That is, should there be a comma after why? Am reading too much into this?
What's unclear about it? He asked if the OP even watched the game, I asked why he bothered, Why bother to watch the game if you're already so sure of the loss? Jesus people, have some kind of freaking hope.

Karlos is a walking MASH unit. Hopefully in the off season we sign an RB that's good and can actually suit up on Sundays.
He's a bunch of wise cracking Army doctors and nurses performing jackleg surgery by day and looking for love at night? Is he running a still out of his tent?

Oh Randy Bobandy, I honestly can't remember seeing TT throw many of those passes at all this season. Maybe he needs lifts???

At least we're not on Lake Superior. She never gives up her dead.
So the legend lives on from the Chippewah on down...

Was never a fan of Gailey. Friend of mine worked for the bills - said all he ever did was play racquetball.
Whiskey tango foxtrot.

Do you guys watch the games?
Why do you?
-
So now it is about specific players?
Now you're just trolling.
-
What is the MATTER with you people?
-
Yes.
I thought they would win the 2nd Miami game and opening day.
You need to find some joy in your life.

We are losing this game.
Have you EVER predicted a win? I'm not even asking to be a jerk, just curious.
-
We are 500, one game out of the wildcard, and still very much in the hunt. We just got beat by 1 score by the defending super bowl champs. Get some perspective boys.

I agree. I think the argument that "well if it worked he's a genius" is kind of dumb. If McCoy held onto the ball, it doesn't become a great call, it just prevents criticism. I'd love to see that call on a 1st or 2nd down but on 3rd-and-manageable you want to see a higher percentage throw. Generally, McCoy has great hands and I like seeing him get a deep target. But situationally that is a questionable call.
100% disagree. If we score a touchdown on that play it changes the whole game.

I feel like wrestling, arguably the most violent high school sport, has a much lower rate of concissions than many non-contact sports.My daughter plays volleyball. Now volleyball is about as non-contact as a team sport can get - the opposing players must stay on opposite sides of the net, and teammates actively try to avoid colliding with or hitting each other. The players wind up contacting the floor a lot as they dive for the ball, but this sort of self-directed self-controlled contact is supposed to be a lower concussion risk.
Yet every year there are a couple girls who drop from the program because of multiple concussions.
Same with basketball, soccer, and don't get started on wrestling or boxing.
What is our draft pick # for 2016 draft???
