I am glad I am not the only one that noticed that sending Hughes into coverage was nothing short of insane. We pay this guy to rush the quarterback, not to drop into pass protection. The DL play in the last two games is making me grow increasingly concerned that Rex is forcing talent to fit into his system rather than building the system around his players' talent. And wtf - I don't want to see any Bills jerseys on defense beginning with the number '5' playing like they are safeties. You will get beat each and every time by the WR, particularly when the deflator is throwing the ball. This was an 'exotic' defense for all the wrong reasons. I think this is the first time I have ever seen three penalties called on a single play against a single team. The offensive line needs to shape up, and fast. McCoy had no holes up the middle and in pass protection they were awful. But, when you are a greenhorn quarterback and you score 32 points against NE*, that's not horrible. That's all you can expect out of Taylor. This one falls squarely on the defensive line with their inability to pressure the QB, and the boneheaded penalties we took on nearly every special teams play.

We had no pressure last week either. I thought it was Dareus missing but I'm more concerned that this lack of pressure is due to Rex's system.

Not a fan of the whites... I've always preferred the blue jersey/white pants combo. The only exception to that would be when we play Dallas or Washington at home, forcing them to wear their dark jerseys.

Good news: It's not Walt Coleman! Bad News: These are the guys that screwed us vs Denver last year - 11 penalties for 98 yards... anyone remember this? https://vine.co/v/Or5jHYrXF5t R62 Ronald Torbert U124 Carl Paganelli HL37 Jim Howey LJ84 Mark Steinkerchner FJ50 Aaron Santri SJ3 Scott Edwards BJ38 Greg Yette

The team has to win games in late October-early November for me to believe in them. They always win at the beginning of the season, lose a ton of winnable games in the middle, and then win enough to ruin draft positioning. Win in November and then I will believe.

NFL will launch "thorough investigation" into last night
sullim4 replied to Billzfan37's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How is this even an issue in 2015? I mean really, the NFL, which brings in billions in revenue, can't set up a simple walkie talkie system between the sideline, press box, and QB helmet? For heaven's sake, the high school AV club can set this up without a problem. It's an embarrassment. The fact that they rely upon the stadium's infrastructure to run audio cables is even a bigger joke and lets teams like NE* tamper with the system. They could easily set up a wireless system that has no dependency on the home team at all other than on the stadium's power supply. -
It pays to wait until just before the start of the season. $40 off my bill for 12 months. 20% off Sunday Ticket All with just a 1 year agreement, which is aptly timed to terminate at the beginning of the next season .

Leo Roth: The "All Playoff Drought" Team

Tashard Choice? I don't think he made the minimum 10 game guideline. But, yeah... -

I need to see more of Cassel. He was ok in that first preseason game but he's got "game manager" written all over him. We have been down that road numerous times in the past and it has never worked. Taylor has looked the best so far. I loved that first drive of the game yesterday - ESPN must have been pissed that more than half the quarter went by without a commercial. I worry though that he is too gimmicky and that he will be prone to taking a lot of sacks in critical situations because of his mobility. Will he throw the ball away or take a stupid sack in a critical situation? I haven't gotten a feel for that yet. His size and mobility also make me worry that he'll be injury prone. EJ is your third string - I haven't seen enough improvement from last season to make me think he's benefited from a change in the coaching staff. I will say though that the scrub o-line was terrible and that he did well given the circumstances. However, I think we know what we're getting here.

Gotta go with 88 Pete Metzelaars.

The Future Official Beer of the Bills (and Sabres)

I saw it at QFC this afternoon, but have also seen it at Bevmo and Total Wine. -
The Future Official Beer of the Bills (and Sabres)
sullim4 replied to Doc's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Southern Tier is legit. We have a ton of local microbrews here in the Puget Sound area and Southern Tier is as good as any of them - Elysian, Ninkasi, Black Raven, Fremont, etc. I was actually pretty surprised to see their beer in the local grocery store - their Choklat Oranj was in a 22oz bomber... and it was excellent. -
Bills fans drunkest in the league?
sullim4 replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills simultaneously have the best and worst fans in the NFL. I know and have met a ton of awesome Bills fans. They stick with the team for years despite the losing; their loyalty is unmatched. They are extremely knowledgeable, a bit sarcastic, and the typical Buffalonian in that they will give you the shirt off their back to help you out. They know how to enjoy a drink or two without getting out of control. I'd like to think I'm in this group. Then there are the folks that will light open fires right next to your car in the parking lot. The guys that bring a 30 pack of Genny to the game and somehow manage to finish it off within a few hours between two or three people. They will spill beer on you, throw things at you, and make complete fools out of themselves. They have no interest in the game other than to get drunk. Every time I leave a game I worry that I will get hit by one of these bozos on the drive home. That later group is why I don't bother with tailgating at RWS and why I'm very careful about the seats I decide to buy. The club seats are terrific although a bit sterile. Most of the 100's are fine although you have to watch the end zones. I used to be ok with the 300s but this area has gotten progressively worse over time. Forget about the rockpile. -
It is nice to see someone filling the void that Crayonz, Sammy, Carl, and the Googlebot left... Next thing you know, we will be talking about how it is best for the Bills that they lose their games to NFC opponents because it will help them in tiebreaker situations.

You have a very simple argument if you're in the NYC metro area: Bills have 16 games. - They play the Giants this year, so you'll get that on local TV. Down to 15 games. - They play the Jets twice. Down to 13 games. - The Jaguars game is on the internet only. Down to 12 games. - They play the Patriots on Monday Night... down to 11 games. - They play the NFC East... I guarantee you at least one of those will be aired in NYC. That's down to 10. So about half the season is going to be on TV in the NY metro area... seems like a good argument to milk DirecTV for all they are worth.

London game will be streamed on Yahoo
sullim4 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually.... NBC hired Microsoft to do it. I know because there are folks in building 44 across the street that worked on it, and they worked their butts off to make sure nothing happened during the event. It's the same group that did the Olympics streaming for NBC - Azure Media. NBC/Comcast also has the benefit of being an ISP for a great number of Americans, meaning they can packet shape and give priority to their traffic. You won't get that with Yahoo. The only event I can remember Yahoo hosting online was the NCAA tournament a few years back... and that was continually buffering for me. Compression technology has come a long way since then, but I'm still skeptical. -
Pegula interview: not opposed to an NFL team in Toronto
sullim4 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
+1 and a big reason why I'd have to think really hard about moving back to NYS. In WA, people B word and moan about the 9.5% sales tax, but I'll take that and $3500/yr in property taxes with no income tax over the draconian NYS property taxes and income taxes any day of the week. I'd love to move back to the state but the lack of high paying jobs outside of NYC and the taxes kill it for me. -
London game will be streamed on Yahoo
sullim4 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great... so now I have to get up at 6:30am, get into the stream early enough to avoid buffering troubles, and watch the game on my 13" laptop with tinny speakers instead of my 52" TV with surround sound. Or I can go out and buy a mini display port to HDMI cable and some sort of cable that converts 3.5mm audio to optical in. Joy. How is this an improvement again? -
The Seahawks did something i did not think possible
sullim4 replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The funny thing about it is that I was pretty indifferent to Seahawks fans because I never really knew any of them until a year ago. I work with a team of about 75 people. There were 2 legitimate football fans that I could talk to before the super bowl - one is a Pats* fan and the other a Raiders fan. Now there's over half the team claiming to be football fans. Ridiculous. FWIW, Seattle is probably more of a baseball town... the Mariners actually do have a legit following of fans that care about the team. The Seahawks really don't. And for the record, I have seen 0 Seahawks apparel this morning. I can tell you from personal experience that I've worn my Bills gear the day after super bowl losses. And that was in the NYC metro area. -

sullim4 replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I live in Seattle. Until you've experienced the fair weathered-nature of the fanbase here, and the obnoxious lack of football knowledge, I wouldn't expect you to understand. You know how much **** I took for that fake punt when the Bills were down by like 30 points in the 4th quarter against Seattle a few years ago? I wanted both teams to lose this one... but I'm pretty happy with the outcome. -
POLL: NE Cheating - What should be done?
sullim4 replied to dtgolder's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hah... I don't know that I'd go that far. Peyton Manning fits the Jeter mold more than Tom Brady. Do you think Bills or Jets fans would cheer him off the field in his final game if it were in either stadium, a la what the Red Sox did in Boston for Jeter? -
