Something brewing with the Patriots?
Rubes replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nice try. Gotta do better than that, John. -
I love the Bills logo (of course), but I've always thought the red stripe should be slightly curved (eg, arced) instead of straight.

Rules of Being a Sports Fan
Rubes replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"Ugh ... the dog days of February." All I could think was, "Ugh...Bill Simmons." -
Hate 'em. Hate 'em all. I'll admit, like some I didn't really hate the Pats**** with a fury until Brady arrived, mostly because they were never really relevant until then. I also never truly hated the Celtics, but that was because I never paid any attention to basketball until I lived in Chicago during the Jordan era, and by then they were pretty irrelevant too. Now I just hate all of them. I never want any Boston fan to be happy about anything. When did this happen to me?

The Book is Closed on the Mahomes Trade
Rubes replied to Zerovoltz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For the life of me, I can't understand why people are misunderstanding the OP so much. It's not like the OP was saying "the book is closed" as in "we now know everything we need to know to pass judgment on it". The OP was just saying that all of the moves that were made as a result of the trade that sent Mahomes to KC are now completed, so we will know the parameters of the trade in order to pass judgment on whether or not it was a good trade for either team once we know how those players pan out. This is not rocket surgery, folks. -
Poll - Buffalo Bills Number Hall of Fame
Rubes replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Have to at least put #32 on there. -
FA Pass Rusher Ryan Russell visiting Bills
Rubes replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can't see Lawson being cut given his age and inexpensive salary. Traded maybe. -
Buffalo Bills get UDFA steal in OT Ike Boettger from Iowa
Rubes replied to Peace Frog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure about Paup, but pretty sure Takeo Spikes suffered one. I don't recall if it ended his career, but people are generally not the same after repair. For some positions, it doesn't matter as much. Those who don't have to run much or very fast can maintain careers at this point. So an OL or a pocket QB could, but not so much a WR, RB, CB, or LB, for instance. Tyrod would be screwed if he ever had one. Dan Marino had a pretty bad one, got it repaired, and continued to play for several seasons, but with a noticeable limp. But he was never a runner. -
Yeah, we seem to have trouble sticking to 1998.
-
One might also say something similar about the physical prototype of the modern QB being Allen...

[Misleading Title]Tom Brady facts....
Rubes replied to mellaman101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would think, here on TBD, we can cut a little extra bit of slack for those who wish to post threads mocking anything Pats**** related. -
Not in my office! Especially since I’m the only Bills fan.
-
No, I hate that too many people in my office love the Packers. So if they win, I'll have to put up with a lot of ****.
-
Probably won't matter much. I think this is not going to be pretty for us. Fingers crossed, though. Far too many Packers fans at my workplace.

What's Up With the Buffalo Blitz Paywall?
Rubes replied to Keukasmallies's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s about time someone brought that up. -
Guys like Shaq (and I would also say Hughes) are talented football players, but not the kind that dominate, change offensive game plans, and open up opportunities for other players. They are more the kind of players that can flourish when there is another dominant player on the line, like a Mario Williams. Hughes can wreak havoc when someone like Mario is drawing attention away from him, and I suspect Shaq could develop into that. But without that other player, they struggle, because they are not at that level. As such, I don't think either one is worthy of a 1st round pick.

[edited title] Robert Foster, UDFA - Roster shot?
Rubes replied to Bronxbomber21's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love the threads this time of year that project one of our UDFAs as a steal and a starter. -
I liked it overall as well. Not sure you'll get a ton of agreement here, though. What did you think of yours?
