    Its official. Oakland A's to Vegas

    Its a shame.  I dont want to see anyone lose their pro sports team.  These leagues are negligent for breaking hearts of people who have invested time, money, and emotion.  I'm sure some pretty big A's fans are kids too and it would be tough to process.

     

    Baseball will be right up there with horse racing and boxing in 50 years anyway.

    ‘Bye, Bye Barry’ (Sanders) documentary released on prime video

    He is one of my all time favorites.  He played when I was about 10-20 years old so right in my wheelhouse of hero worship.  I was always bitter that Emmitt Smith compiled his way to the rushing record that was clearly Barry's to claim.

     

    I get the argument that he may not be the best all around rb.  He is certainly the most elusive RB.  I wonder what he could have done for a team like Houston at the time... or maybe even chronically RB starved teams like Miami and Denver.  Teams' defensive game plans were literally just to stop Sanders from getting 150 yards

    This is a low point not seen since before turner gill.  I know there were some bad times under that scam artist Quinn, and maybe liepolds first season... but it feels like the bulls are back in the dark ages.  Maybe the landscape of ncaa football has something to do with it.

     

    There was a column years back by Bucky Gleason.  I know it was met with a lot of hate, but I thought it was thought provoking.  He said ub should close up the football program and triple down on basketball.  It makes more sense today.  I think wny could also get behind a nationally relevant college basketball program vs Mac football team playing at an abhorrent facility.

     

     

    Will a win over the Jets to get to 6-5 bring everyone back in?!?!

    Sounds very crazy on the surface. But you could be right. At least there is still some life left in the season

     

    I wouldn't pick the bills.. but beating the eagles after this win would give them all the confidence heading into the much needed bye.  Playing the chiefs of the bye and they aren't the same.  Then a home game with swagger and a frenzied crowd. At that point its a snowball rolling down a hill, like the bengals last season.  Nobody in the afc really frightens me like the eagles and 49ers.

    Are the stars realigning to get the bills into the post season?

     

    It helps, but the fact is the Bills need to win games against good teams.  In the past 2 months they have struggled and lost against bad teams.  

     

    If the Bills win games, they get in.

    If it's NOT our year, I have no problem w/ KC winning again.  That level gets harder & harder to sustain.  Other teams like to acquire title-winning players.

     

    And if we somehow manage to squeak into the playoffs now - I like our chances a little better w/ Cincy out of the picture.  I feel for them, though.  Same kind of market as the Bills, and same empty trophy case.  This is a gut punch for any team's fans.

     

     

    This was absolutely 'their year' the same as ours was last season.  

     

    Now they have to pay a lot of Bills.  Burrow's money goes way up, Higgins is a FA, and Chase is coming up for a raise quick

    List of most outlandish losses

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by May Day 10

    The biggest of the big was 13 seconds.  Just a huge stage and forever put us on the losing end of one of the greatest games ever.

     

    The craziest I can remember was the Dallas MNF game.  A specific sequence of things needed to happen in order for them to lose that game.  Minnesota last year was similar.  Like a series of 10 things that all had to go a certain way in order to ensure defeat

     

    Some that may have been glossed over/not mentioned:

     

    The "Kevin Everett game", the opener when the Bills should have won and Denver had a fire drill to get the kicker out, barely got the kick off and hit the game winning FG.  What a kick in the gut.

     

    An OT game against a good Baltimore team.  All I remember is driving in Overtime and Shawn Nelson was held up in mid air, forward progress stopped for about 5 seconds, then Ray Lewis ripped the ball out of his hands, Baltimore recovered and it counted.

     

    Stevie Johnson's OT drop that started "Bills Mafia"

     

    "Just give it to them" was surreal

     

    The Houston playoff game was also a bizarre and very cruel loss.

     

    Ronnie Harmon

     

    The "Aaron Rodgers" game was also kind of a gut punch way to lose with the turnovers, Zach Wilson, and having the game in-hand pretty late, only to lose on a PR touchdown.

     

    And don't forget...  getting steamrolled by Pittsburgh's second and third stringers at home in the final game to be eliminated from the playoffs (which was analytically the best team ever to miss the playoffs)
