Who is your most hated division rival now?
DrDawkinstein replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The only team I truly "hate" is the Pats. It wasnt a rivalry the last 20 years. The hammer doesnt consider the nail a rival. We have so much making up to do on that one. We need to stomp them for the next decade before I'll feel better about it. Plus they're a bunch of dirty cheaters which makes it even more infuriating. The rivalry with the Dolphins is up there, but it is more of a fun rivalry. I love beating them, I get a good laugh at their failings, I hate losing to them, but there isnt anyone I sincerely (and irrationally) wish ill will on. Heck, even in the old days, as much as I routed against Marino and loved watching him turn red with anger after being sacked, my family had a run in with him in 1984ish and he was such a nice guy to us little kids that I could never truly "hate" him. Brady on the other hand... The Jets, I dont even think about. lol. They're just such a joke. -
"Buy stock in A.J. Epenesa" - says Daniel Jeremiah
DrDawkinstein replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Could be! -
Let's be clear here. It isn't just "the locals" paying for the stadium. The money comes from the entire state. Including Albany, Syracuse, NYC and the downstate suburbs. Don't make it sound like poor little Buffalo would be on the hook for this. NYS is the 3rd richest state in the Union. The money is there. Friggin Minnesota made it work.

Kinky, and I'm flattered you'd like to have us there, but no thank you.

How Much Will Epenesa Get Fined?
DrDawkinstein replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Now I want an empanada! -
You say this like "submitting a plan" (to whom, btw?) makes it some sort of concrete law. It is simply what they currently think they might do, based on the funding they think they can secure. That can all change during talks and negotiations with the state and local governments. First thing he did was look into what it would take to have the stadium downtown. Their own study showed it would probably cost the State more than what PSE assumed the State would be willing to pay. The State is running their own study to make sure that is true. You know, due diligence.

We could both go on and on about financial mismanagement for just about every city and town in the country. And while that is an issue, it really isn't the point. Plus it gets us more towards a PPP post, which I certainly don't want to do. So to keep this on track about Stadium Funding and the possibilities... The money is there, even if it is being mismanaged. Funny yall talk about "bringing the rest of the state down with it", when NYS has one of the largest economies in the country (only behind CA and TX), mostly due to NYC. And NYS pays $26B more in Federal taxes than it receives in Federal aid. Whereas most other states receive more than they pay. So I'm still not buying that money isn't there, or can't be found. Heck, NYS could hold back a couple Billion of that and still contribute $24B to the US, and totally fund the stadium build. The money is there. Don't be fooled.

Offensive Slump: Josh Allen vs Brian Daboll
DrDawkinstein replied to elijah's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
7 bad passes doesnt sound like much, until you see his stat line of 17/33 for 179yds. (I wont 7 bad passes is over 20% of all attempts. It's one thing to do it against a crappy Miami team where we can make up for it on the ground and rely on our Defense. But that won't hold up against the other top teams in the league. Josh is in a slump. There is no denying it. His mechanics and footwork have regressed for seemingly no reason (he isnt under any more pressure this year than he was last year). He is not seeing open guys, or back to locking into his primary target before the snap even happens. I fully believe he will play his way out of it and get it right. And probably pretty soon. But it is a real thing, and worth discussing. Even if we did win the last game 35-0. -
No. He's simply a rookie game manager with a good defense. I worry more about the Pats defense, with the returning opt-out players, than their rookie QB.

Was Very Happy with Dion Dawkins on Sunday
DrDawkinstein replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Playing in the heat for the entire game was more of a test than going up against the Dolphins DEs. Glad his conditioning held up for the game. Definitely a step in the right direction. Sunday will be a much tougher test but in easier conditions. -
Will the WFT game sell out despite new jab policy?
DrDawkinstein replied to benderbender's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We're already past the Pittsburgh game. Maybe Pats and Jets fans who usually show up as it is. Who else from our remaining home schedule has fans that travel? -

DrDawkinstein replied to benderbender's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And I'll be travelling from GA to fully enjoy the game Sunday! Well as much as I can without (future Hall of Famer) Ryan Fitzpatrick playing.... -
Will the WFT game sell out despite new jab policy?
DrDawkinstein replied to benderbender's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Erie County is 65% vaccinated (NYS 70%). That is 2 vaccinated people for every unvaccinated person. That means there are at least 1400 fans waiting to replace those 700 (if not more like 14,000). The ideas that there are equal "sides" to this, and that this policy is affecting a lot of people, and that the Bills will have trouble filling the stands, is laughable. -
New arena in Tempe - Bills should follow this model
DrDawkinstein replied to CountDorkula's topic in Off the Wall
So what? I think youre spending a little too much time thinking about this non-issue. Dont ever follow the example of the Arizona Coyotes, no matter the sport. My complete statement on the matter. -
America, 2021. Where you can trick anyone to do anything by simply telling them to do the opposite, and watch them exercise their right to be contrarian.

In Hockey terms, since they would be following the example of another Hockey team. -
Kurt Warner break down of Josh vs Pittsburgh week 1
DrDawkinstein replied to ILBillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Any gems in here that we don't already know and are ready to move on from? Or is he just going to re-explain to me that Pitt rushed 4, dropped 7, and Allen stunk? -

DrDawkinstein replied to CountDorkula's topic in Off the Wall
While the Pegula's tenure hasnt been exactly 5-star, I dont think they should look to one of the few ownership groups who might be even worse as a guiding light on how to manage a multi-Billion-dollar investment. -
Yep. AFC Champ and SB are the only wins left that warrant greeting the team at the airport.

What NFL player do you associate with a college?
DrDawkinstein replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in Off the Wall
UCLA - Aikman Miami - Ray Lewis Notre Dame - Mike Golic, lol Ole Miss - Eli USC - Reggie Bush/Matt Leinhart -
Rousseau has been a MONSTER. I also (barely) noticed that Jaelan Phillips, the higher drafted DE from the U, was on the field Sunday. But didnt make nearly as much an impact as Rousseau.
