2020 Our Year For Sure

Undertaker/HBK...all I can say is WOW! I find it just amazing that these guys can still bring it like that as the years rack up. The match had to be around 30 mins. Undoubtedly the match of the night, it almost made the main event seem like a letdown. Exactly how good was this bout? How does it stack up with past WrestleMania matches? I felt like I'd just run a marathon by the time it was over. Excellent, excellent work, fellas. The match ended when Michaels went to the top turnbuckle and attempted a backflip, but was caught by 'Taker in midair, before being hit by the second Tombstone Piledriver of the match, and Undertaker's fifth finishing maneuver overall. Taker is now 17-0 at WrestleMania. They kept talking about this as Stone Cold's "farewell." I guess that means he won't make the odd appearance every now and then anymore? Its too bad his health wouldn't allow him to work one more match, it would have been memorable. Funny how he still gets the biggest crowd pop of the night just for coming down to the ring and cracking open a cold one. Is Austin the greatest performer of all-time? There certainly are people out there who would say so. Thanks for the memories, Steve, this one's in your honor! For all the hate Hardy vs. Hardy has been getting from the 'net geeks, the payoff was entertaining tonight. I thought Jeff would've won as he has the potential to be a legitimate main event draw...maybe they wanna drag the storyline out a bit further? A fun match, regardless. I mentioned before that HHH/Orton seemed like a bit of a letdown. I feel like Triple H works better as the bad guy, because his offense isn't very exciting...its better when he can control most of the match, and his opponent can be the one to come back, and get the crowd going. Just seems like it works better in my opinion. Here's to hoping he decides to turn heel again soon, his resume in that role is second to none...he and Hollywood Hogan are probably the greatest villains I've ever seen. But anyway, with Orton losing his title match, does he get "fired" by the McMahons now? Can't believe its not coming till the 5th paragraph, but...Ricky freakin Steamboat! The guy's gotta be in his 50s or 60s, and he looked like he was fighting Randy Savage for the Intercontinental Title all those years ago! Just incredible. It almost makes me wish they would've dropped Piper and Snuka and made Steamboat/Jericho a 1-on-1 affair, but I'm sure it was more marketable with Rowdy's name attached. For those that didn't watch, Jericho beat the three aforementioned old-timers, then ran Ric Flair out of the ring, before looking into the audience and calling out Mickey Rourke. Rourke went into the ring as the announcers mentioned he'd done some boxing years ago, and he knocked Jericho out with a couple of left hooks. Word is that he was originally gonna fight Jericho in a real match, but his publicist advised him not to. Wasn't there supposed to be a tag title match also? Wonder what happened. The other matches were Cena beating Edge and Big Show in a triple threat for the World Title, Rey Mysterio beating JBL in about 10-15 seconds for the IC Title, a Divas Battle Royal, and an 8-way 'Money in the Bank' Ladder Match for a title shot, which was good fun, as it always is. Kid Rock also gave a little concert, and some hot chick from the Pussycat Dolls sang "America the Beautiful" to kick it off. I know I'm not the only one who still watches this stuff. Whats on your mind after the wrestling industry's single biggest night of the year?

Nope.

"I turn on channel 6, the president comes on the news. He says, 'I get no satisfaction, thats why I sing the blues.'"

Sarcastic celebratory post!

Lemme show you how we do things at the Bada Bing...

No.

Edwards never beat Cutler, unless they played Tennis or Golf. The BILLS did beat the BRONCOS, though.

shush

Huh? Nothing about Jauron?

I'm hoping for Conner Barwin.

Owens is on a one-year deal. The risk is minimal. We aren't betting the entire franchise on him, as we would be with Cutler.

Too many fake headlines. Now I won't get excited when actual news pops up.

Anything after the first two rounds for the Bills (and most teams, I imagine) is purely value. Think about picks like Edwards and Dwayne Wright. Its comical how people write these posts saying, "...then we'll go tight end in the 3rd and center in the 4th and..." Ridiculous! The Bills don't sit there and plan out what positions to take the whole way through, because by the time these guys will be any good, the positional needs on your team will have changed. Anything after the 2nd round is simply about adding to your talent pool.

Basically, Skooby is better than all of us, and some people can't get over it.

Who was his left tackle when he became Kurt Warner again, after the Giants benched him and let him walk, and Whisenhunt thought he'd be better off starting Leinart?

C'mon prez, bring back Mike Novick. You know you want to.

Seconded.

I think he was, at times. Late in the year before he shut it down, to be precise. The conventional wisdom is that he was out of shape/practice early in the year due to the holdout and rounded into form as the season went on. But using sacks alone to form an opinion on a lineman's play is sketchy, in any case. To compare it to baseball, you're using errors alone to judge a player's defense, when you ought to use errors in conjunction with fielding percentage. There is no way to use stats alone to form a worthy opinion on a lineman's play...hell, its hard enough to do it with quarterbacks!

Sacks allowed is not a "fact," its an opinion. You can look at the play and say it was Peters, I can look at the play and say it was Dockery. It isn't like receptions; there's no disputing who caught the ball on a given play. The NFL does not keep sacks allowed as an official statistic.

Three decent players, one weak link (right tackle), and a highly-rated rookie. 'Pretty solid' seems accurate to me. It wouldn't be the best line in football, but it would also be far from the worst. Whether Peters is here or not, its up to Trent Edwards to become our Kurt Warner, allowing us to become the Cardinals: a high-powered offense, despite a mediocre offensive line. The skill positions are jam-packed with talent, and therefore set up perfectly to emulate Arizona. Peters would absolutely make things easier on him, but whether Peters is here or not, its up to Edwards. Early last year, when Edwards played well, and Peters was either on the bench or below his potential, Buffalo had success. When Edwards went down, Losman was awful, and they lost. Likewise, when Trent returned and was awful, the Bills continued to lose-- despite the fact that this is when Peters was supposedly back to his Pro Bowl form. Good quarterback play equals wins, lousy quarterback play equals losses...regardless of Peters' status. Again, it would absolutely help Edwards to have big #71 on his left, I wanna be clear on that. But Walker would be still be competent at protecting his blind side to the point that, if Trent is the guy, it ought to come shining through. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope he's up to it. Just one fan's opinion.

Please try to keep up. Gaming has already shed the whole 'geeky' stigma.

I wouldn't kill myself if the line was as follows: LT- Walker LG- Unger/Robinson? C- Hangartner RG- Butler RT- Chambers/Bell Its not as good as it would be with Peters, but it seems pretty solid, in my opinion.

Modern Warfare on 360 is the only video game I really play these days. Search and Destroy is my favorite game mode, as it requires more tactical play, but I play everything. I'm Boone Car on Live, hit me up. Lately I've been going MP5 with Stopping Power, Bandolier (Bomb Squad on S&D, though) and Steady Aim, works like a charm. And as Tomcat said, if anybody wants to start up a clan, count me in.

My question whenever people talk about the Bills getting a rush 'backer, is how are we supposed to use him? They typically can't cover the way we expect our LBs to cover, and they aren't strong enough to hold up as a defensive end. Thats why some of us usually tend to think of these guys as 3-4 system players. As San Jose Fan says, it would take some real outside-of-the-box thinking to take advantage of that particular skill set in this defense. I'm not sure we'd ever be able to take advantage of these players to the point that it would be worth the investment.

Bravo.
