NFL Network only this Sat if you live outside of Buffalo
chaccof replied to Sundancer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I screwed up and signed up to serve at 5:30 Mass this Saturday. I was going to try to get a sub but felt like that might be a bad omen. I wonder if I can rig up a small ear piece and feed the Sirius XM feed while at Mass? -
I was wondering about that too...the team has 9 wins entirely against teams with losing records (okay - technical Dallas had a winning record when they played the Bills but have more or less been exposed) and they've lost three games to teams with winning records and one game to the Browns...Of the three key aspects to football, the defense has clearly outclassed the offense and special teams this year. Maybe next year will be the year. Will be interesting to see how the team does in the wildcard game.

Best Football Play by Play Announcers
chaccof replied to Halloween Land's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Van Miller was the quintessential announcer in that he called a great game that you could follow easily if you weren't watching the game, he was a homer but not an over the top homer (IMHO) and he was fungible - could call basketball, football, probably dog fights if asked to.... -
So happy to eat crow on this one....What a terrific win.

Would you rather? (A super hypothetical)
chaccof replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Give me a SB lose any time. Who remembers who lost the AFC championship? Plus, as other posters have pointed out, its a pretty fun week. And I think, because of the Bills history, many folks would be pulling for them much like they did for Denver when they went to their 5th SB. -
When the Bills played on T-Day against the Cardinals!!
chaccof replied to PUNT750's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, '84 and '85 were the low point of the Bills many seasons....but because of those suckfests the team was able to draft Bruce Smith so that was nice... -
How is your family going to handle Thanksgiving?
chaccof replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Heading to Raleigh for dinner at my sister's house. Neither she nor her husband are Bills fans. Thankfully they have a big house and lots of TV's and we will have eaten by then so my son and I can sneak off and watch the game. She was smart, she married for money the first time! -
How cold will it be in upper bowl on Sunday
chaccof replied to BananaB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ok, so how'd you make out? Inquiring minds want to know... -

Don't wear sneakers....if you have hunting boots or something similar wear those and if you can, get a pair of those heavy felt insoles that protect your feet when they're sitting on cold concrete. -
Steelers Browns: who should get suspended and how long?
chaccof replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the NFL wants to nip this in the bud and it will be for the remainder of the season, including playoffs if there are any for Browns -
Yes, I do - I've seen it with my own eyes, and several times over the life of the team....late 60's, mid to late 70's, mid 80's......but we all get the picture. If you're a native of WNY you get ingrained with it. Win or lose, its fun to tailgate and go to the games I think (I only get to do it every few years now since I don't live in the area). And its equally as frustrating as hell to not see progress. We're now approaching nearly 25 years since the Bills last SB appearance and for anyone who was old enough to remember 1988 to 1993 it was what Patriots fans have experienced the last umpteen years minus the actual win of the SB. I never felt the Bills would lose any games during that time. I was genuinely shocked when they lost. That feeling is long gone.

Really, the teams record hasn't really changed much since the Music City Miracle loss. They've averaged slightly over six wins and slightly more than 9 losses every since since. They're 127-177 over that time period and made the playoffs once due to what can only be described as a miracle. They've had 9 HC's, with Dick Jauron lasting the longest at slightly more than 3.5 seasons. Basically they've been in a rebuilding cycle for the last 19 years. My point here is what's really changed? The names and faces, but that's about it. So, no I don't have reason to think the current group is any better. Sheer odds say that there has to be something like a 20% chance they get things turned around.

Where does the 10th win come from?
chaccof replied to letsgoteam's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As the former Gov. of CA would say " Das a gud one..." -
Bills at Browns Post Game Post Mortem
chaccof replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I believe the run game was on the Cleveland side of the ball....seems like teams are able to run pretty much all they want. I will say however that the defense holding Cleveland to no TD from inside the 10 on eight consecutive plays it pretty amazing. -
Bills at Browns Post Game Post Mortem
chaccof replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The record is not indicative of how little the team has progressed from last year. Not that difficult to figure out. -
What is your perfect scenario for this weekend?
chaccof replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
yeah, don't stop now.....oh yeah, hope the Bills win too. -
Is Brady playing for the Bills record?
chaccof replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes a very minor and slight detail... -
Is Brady playing for the Bills record?
chaccof replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ha, that's pretty good.... Technically they'd tie the record, right - going to 4 straight? -
Is Brady playing for the Bills record?
chaccof replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It would be just like Brady to screw the Bills out of a record that we all assumed would never be broken. -
Philly fans really are the worst
chaccof replied to Dan Darragh's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I did for 7 years and attended a few Bills-Iggles games at the Vet. Absolutely brutal people. I learned after the first visit not to wear Bills stuff. I mean, they used to have a jail in the Vet - that should tell you all you need to know. -
How we get to 10 wins and playoffs...
chaccof replied to bills6969's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
if the team plays like they did the last two games I'm certain that the Cleveland game is a win and the Pittsburgh game would be a definite L. The rest of your observations make sense. -
Singletary's touchdown shouldn't have counted
chaccof replied to Coach55's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
yeah, I though I heard on the game last night that Collingsworth said PI challenges are 0-26 so far this season....I admittedly was half listening. -
Bills Mafia adds Dangerous New Stunt: Hatchet Throwing
chaccof replied to Amarillo Bills Fan's topic in Tailgate Central
Lets see, take one part alcohol + one part hatchets + one part throwing said hatchet, mix until vomiting = Trip to hospital (or morgue)....but can't wait to see the video. Reminds me of my dad and uncles playing jarts in the front yard after a couple gallons of home made red wine - whoops, didn't mean to put that through your car door, Lefty....
