  1. This is an interesting point that never occurred to me. I wonder if the response is with 15 seconds left, let Allen drop way back, roll out, and sail one out of bounds, taking 6 seconds or so. Then full play clock for the fg.
  2. Its really sad to think about. The whole thing. Especially the victim's and murderer's families. Its virtually impossible to get away with anything like this. I was talking to a guy last night who said "I hope they catch whoever did it". It dawned on me that I never even considered the possibility that someone can get away with this.
  3. No matter where you sit, this should be absolutely terrible. Full stop. This is not what we need, nor what we stand for. I don't agree with a lot this guy had to say (common ground on many things as well). Killing is not the answer. Furthermore, silencing someone in this way amplifies their voice.
  4. This is terrible. Honestly never heard of the guy. Maybe I'll check out what he had to say now.
  5. This is horrible, this story. It brings out emotion in me. Young, good looking white women should not randomly be violently murdered on camera and in public. But I don't think comparing it to a police officer killing a citizen is anywhere near apples to apples. It is clearly being covered in the media because I know about it and I consume zero news. As far as I know, this kind of attack is extremely rare and random. Im also not sure what I would have done as a passenger. Maybe not believe what I just saw? Maybe fright? Maybe no idea what's going on? Although I do want to shake the woman in the adjacent seat and ask wtf is wrong with you? I think it does present an opportunity to converse and review policy on how a habitual criminal keeps his freedom, and also paired with a healthy dose of schizophrenia. Riding the train with no ticket as well. From what I read, it doesnt seem like there was a violent progression up to this, but I could be wrong. Its all just awful and makes me ill. I don't think it should be an opportunity for one side to get points on the other or fool ourselves into thinking all black men with hoodies and dreads want to stab white people. Its terrible. I support Ukraine, but also think this awful, heinous, and it seems like it was preventable. Sadly, its too late for this woman.
  6. So you probably love it when fans suggest they leave the roof open for bad weather games for home field advantage. I remember seeing that from a few bills fans, and scrolled through some comments on this news from Denver and people made the same 'strategy'
  7. This is a horrible story. Terrible thing. Scary. Full stop. Whatever you blame. Mental illness, racism, liberals, justice system, worthless bystanders, random bad luck. This girl came to the USA for safety and security and it ended up worse than being in a war zone. Reminds me a bit of that Greyhound bus killing near Winnipeg 15 years ago or so.
  8. Retractable is a very silly idea. Just cover it, but a lot of glass to give the outdoor feel. These things are never open. I don't like seeing these 20-25 year old stadiums being replaced already. That makes major league sports even less sustainable in WNY.
  9. Its not like it was in a vacuum and it was a tie game or the game was apparently on the line in any way. It appeared as though the Bills had given up. Henry was running at will. The Bills were down by 15 and Baltimore had the ball with not much time left. By any measure the game was over (as shown by these stats that keep coming out that say this game was 1 of a kind). Obviously in reality the Bills proved that wrong, and people will think twice next time. People leaving when the game looked like it did in the 4th quarter shouldn't get so much criticism.
  10. That is what makes the comeback so insane. Everyone was fooled. It was like 2 completely different games played by different opponents from the first 51 minutes than the last 9 minutes. The Ravens were moving the ball at will. Dick Jauron seemed to be running our offense from above. While I did leave, and lost the gamble majorly, if i was watching at home I 100% would have kept watching.
  11. They have been doing it and remaining competitive for over 25 years. I have always admired them and during the drought I remember pointing at the Ravens (not a great team, but in the top 8-12 every year, with a puncher's chance) as the model. They have had few really down years and those dips have been short-lived.
  12. We left, I admit it. Over the years, we usually leave once we determine the game has been decided (it is most often in the closing minute or so), other than some special occasions. We bust out to the car and get home. Kids, other responsibilities (Im also not the one who drives so it isn't entirely my choice). It has treated us very well and where we park and when we pull the chute, we never experience traffic. We left as Henry was rumbling toward the end zone. Game was over. Saying the Ravens had a 99% chance to win was under-selling it IMO. The Bills were beat. With about 11 minutes left, and the Bills seeming to be unable to stop anything, the Ravens would clearly be able to deflate plenty of clock and kill the rest of the game (if they didn't score more points). The Bills also seemed to have an allergy to throwing anything downfield and to wide receivers up until that point. Just sitting there watching the 4th quarter bleed away while Ravens fans hooted and hollared, only to sit in traffic until 12:30AM didnt sound fun. I regret leaving, but this is always the risk we take and in 20+ years of going to most home games, we have never chosen poorly. It was kind of a cool experience in the car on the way home, watching it on Fubo in the back seat, announcing they got the TD.... then everything changed for the fumble and we pulled over, everyone watched, and it was kind of a cool memory. Moving forward, we will probably re-think the threshold of leaving in a similar situation.
  13. This is really over the top "We want our guys to celebrate with one another. That's the whole idea. I guess I didn't know you're not allowed to go close to the stands to do that without being attacked by a fan," Head Coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "I don't know how any of us would respond in that moment. I think it'd be something, we'd probably be thinking about protecting ourselves." Another fan also threw a drink at Henry as he went into the end zone on his 46-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. "You score a touchdown, you probably shouldn't have a frozen water bottle thrown at you either," Harbaugh said. Wow, what a vicious "attack" from that fan. Players probably need therapy after that. Also, I didnt know the 58 degree weather was cold enough to freeze water bottles. I have always liked Harbough but never realized that he is such a baby. The fan was stupid, and a little heavy handed with his helmet slaps, sure. He is getting made into an example. Fine. It was not an assault and nobody was in danger (until Jackson went a bit over the top there, actually).
  14. I heard he was kicked out. Jackson should be fined though. I don't really blame him doing what he did, but the NFL cannot sanction a player aggressively putting his hands on a fan, even if provoked like that. There is a fine line between that and a player action that seriously injures someone. There needs to be some sort of deterrent.... and that kind of fine won't harm Jackson's bank account.
  15. It wasnt just a pat on the head. He pushed Jackson's head back in an aggressive manor. I cant blame Jackson for that reaction, although he is better off restraining himself.
  16. I think its "The Prater Game"
  17. We got a scoragami too
  18. Thats so awesome for prater. Probably thought he was done and ends up with a great night, getting possibly the highlight of his career, and the game ball
  19. Illiterate people need to resort to lashing out violently
  20. I just tried to look at 2 Ravens forums and they are both crashing
  21. Dick jauron apparently stopped coaching the bills in the 4th quarter
  22. I agree that I don't loathe Tom Brady any more now that he has stopped hurting me. I wish I would have enjoyed Michael Jordan more back in the 90s. I couldnt stand the front running kids who would wear air jordans and had all sorts of Bulls/Jordan posters in their lockers and stuff. I rooted against him and hated the NBA.
  23. Note Dame's schedule is laughable. Don't play anyone currently better than #19. Next hardest is #25 Boise State, both at home... then nobody. 7 home games, 4 away games. Hiding from a conference championship. They have patsy rivalry games like navy, Purdue, and Stanford. And even if they lose another game, im sure they will be placed in the tournament anyway
