May Day 10

Love the thowbax!

not sure it has been mentioned, to add to my other thoughts: Emotionally, watching a Bills game (or any game)... and anything happens, it is tough to get excited, especially on a close play (which should be the most exciting). You need to scan the field for flags first. Then you need to sit there and worry about what the replay will show and whether there will be a "challenge". Then possibly wait for an official "Review" which often conveniently is long enough to fit some commercials. IMO it deflates the game and for some inexplicable reason, the NHL and MLB are trying to emulate this soul-sucking practice. Often, you have to wait for the next play to start before exhaling. Im telling you, I would rather have my team(s) get screwed by an onfield ref and lose a championship... if it meant the abolishment of replay/reviews.

He is like the guy at the craps table who nails every roll for like 45 minutes.

The Patriots looked pretty human thus far since Brady came back, despite everyone expecting them to pull the 50-3 running up the score games. They beat Cleveland pretty bad, but thats Cleveland with Whitehurst. Cincy was fairly close, and they havent been great. The Pitts game was pretty competitive with Landy Jones. With the right preparation, the Bills CAN win. I dont really expect it... but it wouldnt be shocking. The Bills handled the Pats pretty well their past 2 head to head games in Foxboro. This one is at home.

not with that cap hit. Too much of our cap is sitting on his couch and smoking weed

Just had to post in the greatest titled thread of all time

I would actually say they need to beat the raiders AND possibly the Bengals/Steelers. Both those teams will be right there and even at 10-6 (assuming your scenario and a win vs NE or SEA)... I think they lose the playoff spot via tiebreaker. I still think the loser of Steelers/Bengals gets to 10 wins... and possibly all 3 AFC West teams get to 10 wins.

Ultimately, that is why I stopped watching sometime in Season 4. I really disliked pretty much every character.

I think they are going to get worked Sunday vs the Pats. I do, however think the MNF game @ Seattle is very winnable and a good match-up for the Bills.

They really played idiot football and almost cost them the game. Also will motivate buffalo for next round +. It seemed that was the 2015 bills and they seem more collected now

This. The single best purchase a home can make

Im not going to overreact to this one. Just means they have to "flip" one of their tough games.

They need to wheel dareus out there

Cowardly. Should be tossed from the game for that

Great game. The run started in 88 with the fast start. Great defense that season. 89 was shaky. Bickering bills... was transitioning to an offensive team. Both endings heart breaking.

From the article I posted "The NFL’s current cross-ownership rules arguably creates efficiencies that should save it from antitrust scrutiny. Cross-ownership creates special problems in leagues like the NFL where much of the revenue is shared among team owners. Conflicts of interest could arise over negotiations for national broadcast rights if owners had teams in different leagues in multiple cities. In this setting, the ban is necessary to block owners from freeriding on the investments of their fellow owners, for example, by using a league’s confidential information and business methods to assist a league in another professional sport.."

I know

its 2 teams in the same market. Thats fine. If the same sports exists in both markets, it cant happen. Its an NFL rule. The reason Jacobs cant buy the Bills is because he owns the Bruins, who are in the Patriots' market. It is anti-trust issue, and is to eliminate potential conflicts of interest http://www.theofficialreview.com/nfl-cross-ownership-rules/ " The League codified this approach in an amendment to its Constitution and Bylaws that allows cross-ownership in another major league sports team in two narrow circumstances: (1) if the two franchises are in the same city, or (2) if the other league’s franchise is in a neutral market"

I think the Indians can cobble together smoke and mirrors again to shut down and beat the Dodgers. Against the Cubs though... without Bauer and Salazar, it will be a short series. They need those 2 to be available for quality starts in the WS.

At 0:54. Always thought this one was cool What a time for music in that period. Lots of different innovation and eyes. Great acts and one hit wonders were born out of it. Really the last good musical era IMO. Its sad to think about. All the peripheral stuff on MTV was very well done too. Beavis and Butthead, Liquid Television, The Head, The Maxx, Singled Out, spanktastic Grind and Spring Break.

Its an ongoing circle. The Sabres have been doing this for years now. Every newsworthy thing or major interview seems to be granted to outside publications. WGR started to play nice a couple years ago and the Sabres/Bills throw them plenty. As a result, TBN increases their saltiness, which further divides, rinse and repeat. Pegula does not like to fire people and get rid of them. He bragged when he bought the Sabres that he never had fired an employee or something like that. He said the key to winning was: people and the media just needed to be positive all the time. He was mocked a bit... and unfortunately for his stance, the Sabres' front office and coaching staff was stale and needed change about 2004. They had the 2-year lightning in the bottle run, but by 2011 the whole thing was a lame duck and was destined to hit the rocks. He was cheered like a hero, mainly because Sabres fans felt like there was no way the house wasnt (finally) going to be cleaned. It was cleaned, but it took a long time, and you can make the case that it is still happening. Now, although I am excited for this season right now, I believe the Bills were in a nearly identical place as the Sabres when Pegula took over. We'll see how this goes, and I would be in support of staying the course another year if they miss the playoffs with some grace. Ill be overjoyed if they have a successful season. I still maintain that they need a strong, central voice to mold and run the football program.

yeah, tickets.com is always tough with their virtual waiting room. There are a few tricks... and you need to be very adaptive as there seems to be different glitches for every sale. For this, I learned that once you started "hitting" to be let into the purchase page, you needed to go back to the indians' ticket page and click on the link again. Otherwise if you asked for tickets and it couldnt find them/was too busy you were just getting a dead screen. I had a nice pair for Game 7... but the window with the tickets did not have an option to "continue". It was just a dead screen, that was tantalizing because I really wanted Game 6 or 7.

Thats definitely a thing.... IF the Bills beat the Dolphins, that is precisely what they will be playing for.... at home, against New England. The prospect of being in the driver's seat for a Division lead, home playoff game, 1st round bye will be right there at the halfway point of the season... already securing a sweep/tie breaker over NE. That would be uncharted territory for a huge chunk of this fan base

Yeah. Was a mess but i made it through

I got a Game 1 WS ticket
