Whites Bay

I'm in France and was watching the game on NFL Gamepass on wireless - in other words, the transmission was a little ragged and jumpy for most of the game. From what I could tell, however the one Bell moment that got airplay was the head-slap takedown Bell had on his opposing lineman (sorry, I didn't catch his name). Oh, my God, he looked like Deacon Jones! If Demetrius Bell is creating a highlight film to show his kids sometime in the future, I hope that hit is included. Honestly, it was funnier than hell.

I'd probably like to have given Lee Harvey Oswald a shove on the elbow. And then pray he couldn't reload fast enough to put me in a pine box.

Bob, One of the best movies ever made. Just a perfect post! To to OP - deal with it. If you have any hope of optimism around here, just don't even log in for the next 36 months. This place is on collective suicide watch until the Bills show a potential for a winning season. Trust me, this forum is best addressed during the off season, when everyone is 0-0. Threads of this sort will, unfortunately, not change things. Tune in at 1:00 P.M. Eastern time on Sunday, crack open your beer, and hang in there along with everyone else.

Echoing comments made by a poster in an earlier thread, I'm predicting - expecting - a full-scale dynamiting of the offensive line on Tuesday 12 October 2010. This would give the Bills O-line two weeks to get their collective @($% together. I plan to be thriled. Will THOSE changes make the OP happy? I'm guessing not.

Sullivan is the master of the half-truth, the spin, the second-guess. I can't for the life of me understand why people get wound up over the vomitus to which he "treats" us. We - and I mean "we" as a Western New York community, not "we" as the people who post here - will never Never NEVER get anything even remotely resembling "I was wrong" from Jerry Sullivan once the Bills turn things around. I mean...N-E-V-E-R. He'll dance and two-step around everything he's ever written. Jerry Sullivan has a career just waiting for him in Albany. Lt. Governor Sullivan....hmmm...... Where are you in Japan? Do you enjoy sushi? If so, you're in Mecca.

The most accurate tool I've used is TitanTv (www.titantv.com). I'm not saying it's 100%, but it hasn't screwed me yet. As of nearly 6:00 P.M. Thursday evening (that's 5 hours post-blackout announcement), both Syracuse and Watertown ARE SHOWING THE GAME. I agree with Jack vis-a-vis Watertown. I've had games blacked out on Syracuse 5, but still televised up north. Thoner7, head for the North Country.

By the way, thanks for going back to the "classic" Bob Dobbs avatar. Sincerely.

I consider myself one of the more rosy-eyed members on this forum. Having read the aforementioned post, I humbly doff my chapeau, bow deeply, and shake your hand. Bills over the Pack? In Lambeau? Oh, you beautiful, delusional fool. You were there at Pickett's Charge, weren't you? "Badge" - Cream

The 174th ANG from Hancock was transitioned from F-16s to drones about 4 months ago. F-15s never flew out of SYR. Now it's going to be a bunch of guys in an airconditioned room moving a joystick. And you don't want THAT schit flying over the Ralph.

Real stupid question, but are you doing this on a charcoal or a gas grill? I'm a charcoal guy, so I can't help you on the gas grill side of the world. If you're using charcoal, start with a cheap-o charcoal chimney - best $10.00 you'll ever spend from WalMart. Sink a few while you're waiting for the coals to reach "maturity". Dump 'em on the base, put the grate on the grill, and toss in a 1 cm x 1 cm x 5 cm piece of hickory. Now comes the tricky part. Make sure you put the chicken to the edge of the grill. In the periphery. In other words, don't put the chicken right on top of the heat. Let it take the "shock" of the heat indirectly. Cover it, for God's sake, and stand by with a glass of water if things start to scream. Give it one glass of wine, and then flip it. Give it another glass of wine. At that point, you can determine whether more cooking is required. More wine is always good, but all bets are off after three glasses. Don't call me if you "F" it up. But the upshot is that if you drop the chicken right into the middle of the coals...well, it's like an afternoon in Hiroshima, if you catch my drift. Plan accordingly.

I don't understand the concept of going to church ANY week. But from my perspective, I REALLY don't understand going to church during football season. The Bills need all the support and good vibes that I can give them. Church would be a harmful distraction. Maybe if they start winning again, they wouldn't need my focus on Sunday mornings...

What kind of post is this? Idiot. The Bills suck, suck, suck. Thought I'd throw in my obligatory self-demeaning post. One has to keep one's head down around here, you know. Look, TC, I'll say it here and now. This could be one of the better offenses in the AFC East. I'm not prepared to say the Bills will outrun the Pats*. However, it's starting to look like the Bills can lay a few points on good teams (last I checked, Indy went to the Super Bowl). My greatest concern is that the linebacking corps performs worse than some of the posters on this forum. And THAT, my friend, is saying something. The Bills look to have the capability to put some points on the board against the rest of the AFC East. Bubble screens into the short zone against the Bills? Ugly, as usual.

Hey Scott. Thanks...but what a PITA. How do I change my font? Or does it permanently default to "that which looks like Times New Roman? I hate Times New Roman. But the site looks nice, and will take some working around therein. "How Does the Wine Taste?" - Barbara Streisand

I've just re-read early Hemingway. I'm at home with Gabriel's article. I have nothing else to say.

Has Levi Brown shown so much that he'd be picked up by another team if the Bills put him on the PS? I'm not saying he hasn't, because heaven knows there are far more observant people out there than myself. I guess I don't understand the angst.

Oh, God. An ESPN commentator said something bad about my team. Seriously? Grow something.

Right on target. Thanks for making my point. To your statement: "Look it up..."

A good article. A touching, almost sad, read. "Almost sad" when I realize that he'll make more as a #3 than I'll make in the next several years, if ever. Good Luck, JP. I was always one of your boosters here on The Wall.

Jesus. "A 2008 Obviously Sauvignon Blanc". A real tragedy - I've done it myself hundreds of times, but get sucked in over and over. I know. I feel so cheap and used, but godammit, here I am again. The sauce? With a Malbec? I'd "hot" it up just to blast through the buzz, especially this early in the evening. Cilantro always works. Eagles/Bengals are on up here on the border in about 15. I have a GREAT one for tomorrow. Got some people coming up here tomorrow, and I'm uncorking a Charles Melton 1999 Barossa Valley Shiraz. Grab a flight if you're interested.

Iverson led the 76ers to the Finals in 2001, and came damn close to...er...wrong forum... "Don't Worry Baby" - The Ronettes

That actually cracked me up. How's the Sauvignon Blanc and shrimp? And what's the vintage?

Thanks, John. I believe the Wall can breathe a collective sigh of relief that the Bills have been mentioned in a national forum in a positive manner. I can almost hear strains of "Koom-bye-yah". "Take Another Piece of My Heart" - Janis Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Company

Look, mate, that's pretty damn lazy on your part. "Look it up". No, YOU look it up before you post this sort of yap. I know this will draw some sort of scintillatingly erudite response from you, and that's fine. Sometimes I like playing with fingerpaint, so go ahead. But just as a matter of board etiquette, don't do crap like that, okay? It's just as easy, or difficult, for you to engage in keystrokes PRIOR to your argument as it is for those who respond to your idiocy.

Oh, Lord. Here we are. The back up quarterback is always the most popular man in town. Until he $#!+s the bed next week. This is a faint, irritating glimmer of Flutie-Johnson. Get over it.

You're right, that's the comparison knocking around in my mind. But I thought Sanders was a tad bigger. Regardless, he wasn't a guy that would senselessly pound it up the gut. It's amazing what can happen when you make the first guy (and maybe the second guy) whiff on an arm tackle.
