  1. I agree. I don't see a contending team putting all their eggs in Brady right now. Unless maybe it's a floundering team who does seemingly random things like the browns, raiders, or colts
  2. I agree. The other day I scoffed at this. Today I really gave it serious thought. I believe in him, I think this could be huge.
  3. I don't mind accepting that penalty at all. The defense had to make a play at some point. The thing that bothers me is the wasted timeout at the goalie line. That might have cost them another chance. Also why didn't condrington grab that punt?
  4. It's been great. My son and I were glued to the selection show and we were yelling when the smu logo came across. Did not expect it. The acc and sec championship games were classics Playoffs are going to be epic
  5. I think it is awful. I consume a lot of baseball, and actually like all the new rules. I think this would kill the sport for me.
  6. Mia's father explained what led to Sunday night's incident, describing a male Bills fan as being "belligerently drunk" when he barreled past him and his son before shoving Mia to the side and causing her to slip down the stairs and fall into the lap of a 49ers fan. "From the beginning, these folks behind us—I don't know if it was the same guy or not, I didn't pay attention—but they were, on purpose, throwing snowballs at Niner fans. They even said it out loud, 'We're going to be hitting Niner fans in the head all game,'" the elder DeCamilla recalled. "He goes 'Well, I'm going to barrel through these Niner fans anyways.' So, he's coming up and he just starts to barrel through and push people out of the way. He kind of tried to bump into me and got past me, when he got past me, it was Mia and he pushed her in the side, which she slipped down the stairs because of the snow…and ended up hitting her rib cage on the seat."
  7. 'who was pushed down stairs' great So now they have added that the people behind them also announced that they were going to hit "niner fans" (I dont think we call them that in Buffalo) in the head with snow balls. These people always seem to announce their crimes before they commit them. It makes it look more believable.
  8. Like NFL Today, they should also pre-break the kids so we don't hurt ourselves.
  9. The Bills have zero to gain by opposing these people. Even if (when) they reviewed the technology and couldnt find anything. Would be terrible PR, even if they are 100% correct.
  10. What i suspect, is that this family got there and realized they had bit off way more than they could chew. Noise, weather, foul language, Buffalo killing the 49ers, lack of personal space, etc. They were leaving early and probably were bumped into. Most likely an accident as it was slippery as hell. Mom posts on social media, kind of venting on bills fans and exaggerates the bump as "pushed down stairs section 312". Looking for sympathy and likes. This got legs and traction as it's extreme. People who want confirmation bias seized on painting the atmosphere are a lawless ***** and Bills fans as halitosis smelling drunken lowlifes. The family got attention and donations, and it was too late to walk back the exaggerated assault, which was discoverably false. The version changed to something closer to reality, but to prove it was intentional, they added the details that this person announced he was going to push them before attacking their daughter who just went into her seat. Then they added the snowball detail for further effect. They kind of got caught in a lie.
  11. She didnt bruise her ribs. Has anyone bruised their ribs? I have. It is horribly painful and you cant even take in a full breath. There would be medical attention. Also the news interview I saw yesterday morning, they said she was perfectly fine with no injuries. No mention of snowballs that time either. That detail was added later in the day.
  12. I just assumed it was the mom. Sounds like mom-speak, seeing dozens of moms spamming FB every day. Exclamation points, emoji use. Dads dont got time for that. Also the selfie. No mention of the snowball detail... which is now the most serious detail that apparently forced them to leave.
  13. I agree with all this... but I was pretty sober and was sliding all over the place down those stairs and bumped a few people (who were pushed out into the aisles due to the abundance of snow). I don't even think we need to presume that this alleged "pusher" was a drunk.
  14. You would also think that being forced to leave because they were being targeted by snowballs would have been the mom's social media headline. Not that she was "pushed down stairs section 312" so they had to leave early (when in fact it was some sort of nudge into seats). As mentioned, in other online venues, people who sat in 312 did not notice any of this stuff, and remember seeing this family.
  15. Its on the owner. The team was in turmoil, on the verge of needing to deal with Reinhart, Eichel, Ullmark, etc, so he "hired" his Junior Sabres youth hockey manager with no experience to be the General Manager. They have not conducted a coaching search since then either. Just fast-track their agreeable bobbleheads. There is such rot in the organization, it is going to need a major seismic fix. I truly believe Terry is happy and comfortable with the people working around him. This is going to continue until someone Inceptions him with the right ideas, or his daughter(s) take over and hopefully they arent morons.
  16. Nobody is excusing the behavior. Questioning whether the behavior happened. There are various holes in the story and zero people (including some from that section) have claimed to have notice anything. In our section, there is an unwritten code to look out for kids. I'm sure it's that way everywhere. Especially if said kid has a cancer sign. I think it's pretty unanimous that in the unlikely event someone purposely shoved this girl, they should be tossed off the upper deck
  17. I gave up on them years ago, so I don't really care. Wake me up when they get serious about turning this around. Hire someone qualified and experienced to right the ship. Conduct a coaching search again. Set a standard of winning and excellence. At this point, the whole thing is just a stall tactic to but Terry and kevyn enough time to reach their inevitable success
  18. Probably a skull with a knife going through the eye socket, with an eagle behind it and flames on top. Maybe throw some stars and stripes in there too
  19. I remember when I was 8, I was at a buffalo/Montreal playoff game in the aud. The French guy behind me pissed his sweat pants. I thought it was awesome
  20. So now theyve added the details that bills fans were throwing snowballs at their heads? Probably will work to extend the story another day for $15k
  21. There are a number of different venues this is being discussed and commented on. Not one person (including people who were sitting in that section) noticed anything out of the ordinary.
  22. IF anything happened like an assault on an 8 year old, the family didn't ask for or deserve it, no. Not sure where that was implied. However, better judgement should be used. If I were to bring my 8 year old to a Metallica concert, I would probably get him ear protection and sit rather far back in a 200 rather-comfortable seated level with quick access to bathrooms and refreshments. I would not toss him into the pit, nor should I be surprised if something went poorly if I foisted all that on him. I brought my son to his first game when he was about 8 years old. It was a mild-weather day and I made sure we got club seats for the game and we paced ourselves. There were many calculated choices made to keep him from getting overwhelmed in a tense atmosphere. It was great, and he is 11 now and loves going to games and can handle most situations we encounter, but I am still pretty careful. It probably wasn't a good time as a family, wearing opposing gear, rooting for the team getting blown out, in a winter storm, in the thick of things in the upper deck. Even without any of these events that allegedly happened, it was probably not a good time for this family. There isn't a lot of room in those seats with all the snow, layers, and little personal space to begin with. Couple all that up with a really boisterous, rowdy crowd, and I am sure these people had enough in the 1st quarter. Enough where an accidental bump would set them off into a social media rage. They were likely leaving anyways in a 35-10 game
  23. Hopefully not. Yes, there are many Neanderthals there. I've been there. But there is a large gulf between rushing out for a piss in a cramped, icy, snowy, row/aisle... and assaulting an 8 year old girl (pushing her down the stairs) for wearing the wrong colors. I do not believe any of us Neanderthals were capable of that, especially in a bills blowout where everyone is happy. These parents really signed themselves up for the "intense" package here. Packing their 8 year old cancer survivor in opposing gear, at a night game in a winter storm... sitting right in the thick of things. While I resist the idea that anyone purposely assaulted this girl, I could have told these people ahead of time that they were probably not going to enjoy this experience and have a good time. I'm sure their nerves were shot and they were highly irritated with everyone around them by the end of the 1st quarter.
  24. Even locally. Like WIVB on facebook. The headline still reads that the girl was pushed down the section/stairs, you have to read the article about mostly her back-story, then you get to a quick blurb where the father kind of vaguely explained the shoddy story of what transpired (which objectively seems like no big deal)... then the rollout of their gofundme "family fund" All confirmation bias is rampant. "All Bills fans are scumbags". "Nothing but blackout drunks there haven't been to a game in 30 years" etc. Not to mention people are rushing to give these people money. I really take pride in our fan base and atmosphere. That is why this hits deep.
