  1. I hear you - but that's the thing about message boards - everybody gets to say exactly what's on their minds, and I kind of enjoy the rants. I appreciate the passion, even if it's manifested as frustration. I used to be much more passionate about the Bills, but they have worn my enthusiasm down over the past 10 years or so. So, i just turn it off when i see things going the way it went Sunday.....the DVR was on, so if they came back, I'd watch it eventually. Oh, and I stopped drinking, so that might have something to do with my more peaceful, accepting demeanor
  2. I get the intent of your post, but are you really that big a fan of bad football? That Tampa game was nearly unwatchable.....and I've been watching and going to Bills games since 1968. Thank God that Philly game was on here in Syracuse - it was a blast to watch. And the college championship games Saturday were pretty exciting to watch too. Lots of good football being played, but the Bills aren't part of it right now.
  3. By the time the wagon has reason to load back up, a thousand bucks won't be worth all that much. That's the same theory I'm using in extending my three daughters' college loans out 30 years!
  4. I had a premonition this past week too. I knew if we didn't win, we most certainly were going to lose.
  5. Even though they couldn't close the deal against the Falcons, EJ had them in position to win in regulation, and had them driving in OT. He seems to perform quite well in pressure situations for a rookie.
  6. I nominate whatever play preceded Lou Saban's famous rant "GOD ALMIGHTY!! WHY DO WE DO THAT?!?!"
  7. tough to choose in this one.....in a good way! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQfmpXsLV_4
  8. It's the curse of Daryle Lamonica - I tell you ever since we traded him (in 1967!), we have sh$t the bed at every conceivable opportunity. The Falcons game is just another in a long line of bitter, heart-wrenching disappointments. I can laugh when it happens now, but it took years of therapy to get to this point
  9. 1977 graduate of Williamsville North! I probably graduated before you were in grade school though..... We were in Buffalo for a funeral this weekend, and stopped in Elmo's in Getzville for wings....there was a crowd of people watching the WN Spartans spank Union-Endicott Friday night. If you have time, the Carousel Mall has a few new offerings - go-cart track and Wonderworks, both of which he would enjoy.
  10. Did she mention anything about me winning the lottery? I'm starting to get impatient.
  11. I'd gladly trade places with Wood in that photo and take whatever sh$t they want to give me!
  12. sour Pez - they come in packs of 6 (at Cracker Barrel) and I can't eat anything less than all 6 in a sitting. Now and Laters - Wegmans has them in bulk and I overdose on those too. Chewy Spree Dark salted chocolate (85% cacao) - hard to find, but it's awesome when it's available.
  13. Quick look at stats for both suggest Moorman has been better in most categories, over about same number of games and kicks: Powell = 19 returns for 14.73 yd average, 1 TD, 1 inside the 10 yd line, 5 TB and 5 FC. Powell's average is about 6 yards more.. Moorman = 12 returns for 11.25 yds, 0 TD, 3 inside 10 yd line, 3 TB and 9 FC. Both have 10 kicks iunside the 20. The Cleveland game sealed Powell's fate. Moorman has done pretty much what they needed, which is to stabilize the return defense game. Clearly, his time here is over after this season, in my opinion.
  14. When I opened the page with the diagrams, there was an ad at the bottom for heroin addiction treatment. Hope that was just a coincidence, because the first thing I thought when I saw all those diagrams was "Man, you'd have to be on drugs to watch film of that Steelers game that closely" Seriously, great job and thanks for sharing your hard work.
  15. This may have already been posted, but for those who missed it, a nice little homage to Stevie in SI's 11/4/13 issue.... http://si.com/vault/...08986/index.htm
  16. I remember being 6 or 7 and running into the living room and asking my Dad whether the Bills were the white or dark jersies (B&W TV, remember?), and then taking a sip off his bottle of Schmidt's. I blame it on that - along with all the other problems in my life.
  17. Be careful about discussing alternatives to Hammer's - it could get you banned!
  18. Aldon Smith charged with assault weapon possession The charges arose from a June 29, 2012, house party hosted by Smith at his home in the San Jose, Calif., area. Here is how the Santa Clara Office of the District Attorney described what happened: The party included a $10 entrance fee. Gang members arrived, paid the fee and eventually a confrontation happened. First, someone fired a handgun into Smith's garage. Smith then fired a handgun from his balcony to dissipate the crowd. A friend of Smith later fired the same gun in the air several times. Ultimately, two people were shot by an "unknown party guest," prosecutors said, and Smith was stabbed. Gee...you'd think that $10 entrance fee would have kept out the riff-raff. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000259850/article/aldon-smith-charged-with-assault-weapon-possession
  19. Owners pass 'Hard Knocks' rule at NFL Fall Meeting "A source in the room told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport the league passed a rule Tuesday during the NFL Fall Meeting that will compel one team per year to participate in the HBO/NFL Films joint venture, "Hard Knocks."" This is great news for me as a fan of the show, and the criteria for selection makes the Bills a viable candidate..... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000259014/article/owners-pass-hard-knocks-rule-at-nfl-fall-meeting
  20. He may end up doing that anyway....and it would put a crimp in his trade plans.
