  1. I am surprised at the voting with so many people not wanting a change. The current PAT does nothing as it is missed so rarely. I would have guessed that option to be the lowest vote count but instead it is the highest.
  2. Hopefully it doesn't come to this but, if Manuel doesn't show anything this year either will it be time to admit a mistake and move on, or will we be hearing this time next year how it wasn't really year 3 for him because of not playing enough the first two years, or Marrone/Hackett stunted his growth as a QB, and other reasons? I just get the feeling it will be the latter from a lot of people here.
  3. Many hardcore Bills fans do.
  4. Because it isn't effective. There is all kinds of research being done to try and come up with a helmet that it safe. But the problem generally isn't the external object hitting the head causing the concussion. It is the brain hitting the inside of the head due to the sudden and quick stop caused by the hit. And that is difficult, if not impossible, to solve simply with a helmet.
  5. A lot of young guys all along have voluntarily quit playing in college and the NFL due to fears of their health down the road? Huh, news to me.
  6. Another, this one in college. Wonder if this will become a trend now. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/vanderbilt-qb-patton-robinette-quitting-football-citing-injuries/ar-AAa6ckD?ocid=ansFOXsports11
  7. And Shady, in my opinion. But this was what Pegula did immediately with the Sabres as well, but in that case he had a terrible GM spending his money and it was foolish as well as reckless. At least the Bills have a capable GM to go on a shopping spree with Pegulas money.
  8. Amazingly bad premise. 3rd and 2 ... why not 3rd and an inch? Hehe
  9. He did much better this week. Sadly I know this because my wife and daughter had it on the TV and I couldn't veto because the NCAA tournament wasn't on.
  10. Pretty interesting so far. Most choices have a big number for one (best or worst) and a small number for the other. For example, Rex is currently 31 for fav, and 2 for least. However the Kiko/Shady one is more evenly split. Currently 16 fav and 11 least.
  11. Yeah for using it full time I suspect so. I only use mine from time to time. Tailgating would be a good use for it too
  12. And I suspect that is really what Rex is talking about.
  13. Much better than a bucket and concrete https://www.sendspace.com/file/n9d9sx
  14. Yeah rain fade, as that's called, can be a real B word depending upon where the dish is located. Snow can cause issues as well, though not in Houston I suppose
  15. Not saying the game should not be televised here, particularly on the sunday ticket where in my opinion it should for sure. Just stating that the point of the offshore games isn't to showcase anything to the US fans or get them used to teams playing overseas.
  16. HDMI also sends audio so just the one cable would be necessary.
  17. The purpose of the London and other offshore games is an attempt by the NFL to open up new revenue streams by making the game popular outside of the US.
  18. That is hilarious. But if it were true, there would be a very easy way for the NFL to block the FCC from appropriating its intellectual material, don't sign the TV contracts and stop televising games. Problem solved. They could also do each game as a pay per view on cable, satellite or even streaming like they are experimenting with now. Lots of options. But in my opinion that would just hasten the decline in popularity of the NFL.
  19. I wonder if WNY includes Rochester. For blackouts it does, but typically not other "local only" games.
  20. I also can't see the skins making that mistake. If the reason for getting rid of RG3 was that he is not Grudens style of QB, whey we he trade for one of the same style and not even as good as the one he currently has.
  21. And whatever draft picks you want
  22. And that's really what you need to look at, more of a per capita number. The actual numbers are meaningless due to so many more kids riding bikes than play tackle football. True enough. But the trend at least in the north is far fewer kids playing, which eventually should make the popularity go down when the old farts die off.
  23. I should change my vote to other ... It's Tebow time baby!
  24. Have you watched Cassel and Manuel? Gotta keep looking until you find something, no matter who it is
  25. With all that has happened after that, man you would be sitting pretty if the Bills had a QB!
