QB turmoil possible in Buffalo
transient replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You can't tell when you're being smoothered with sarcasm? You prefer your taunts with a few more wrinkles? -
REDSKINS!!!! Open to Trading Cousins
transient replied to boyst's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No way Thad Lewis, Dennis Dixon, a 5th and a 6th gets you Hamdan... all that Chroise don't come cheap. -
Dr Trooth, you ignorant misnomer. My personality profile is not at issue here, any more than is your inability to achieve orgasm. The issue is the Bills. How can we expect to have the confidence of any football team when we stab one of our most faithful allies in the back. I suppose you'd like us to conduct our football fandom the way you conduct your private life, hopping from bed to bed with anyone that can do you some good. Then what do you have? An old, dried-out scuzz that no decent football team would want as a fan. Is that what you want for the Bills? It's too late for you, "Trooth", but our fanbase still has some dignity left, you hosebag! But I suppose that sort of fashionable promiscuity means nothing to someone like you, Trooth, who hops from bed to bed with the frequency of a cheap ham radio.

I didn't see the game. How did the Bills D return an INT for a TD and FG sans PAT in one play?

Browns Fire HC Rob Chudzinsky after 1 season

I had to check twice to verify that wasn't posted on The Onion. -
Let the criticisms of everything begin

We would never have been this bad if Wade Phillips would have just worn an effing headset. -
Of course they were more pissed. Bengals get the 2nd seed if we beat NE*. We get... to feel a little less frustrated about the season?

I know. The view sucks... But the risk of having a drunken ad executive land on your head is much less up here.

Though he will never say why, Kiko admits that he is reason that Ritchie is Incognito.

WGR Interview: Joe DeLamielleure diagnosed with CTE

4) Hype. Which among those sports is more recognizable to a larger audience than the NFL? 5) Resources. If you were looking to fund your research, which of these sports would you choose? -
WGR Interview: Joe DeLamielleure diagnosed with CTE
transient replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure if you're headed down this path as vehemently as I am, but here is my take. In the US in 2013, 5300 people in 100,000 between the ages of 65 and 74 were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. 17000 in 100,000 between the ages of 75 and 84. It's one of the most common diseases of aging. According to the Deadspin article, the PET imaging that is being done to "diagnose" CTE uses the same markers that are being studied to "diagnose" Alzheimer's, but the pattern is different??? They're looking at middle aged former athletes with anger issues and depression who spent a third of their lives hitting their heads against a wall and saying that because the findings on an unvalidated test are more localized, instead of the diffuse findings on this unvalidated test that you would see in an older population with Alzheimer's, that this must be reflective of CTE and not Alheimer's? You can't diagnose Alzheimer's with a PET scan, but now you can diagnose CTE??? I'm not disputing CTE exists. I'm not disputing the value of the work that is being done on it. I AM disputing the significance of how the "facts" of this condition are being reported. And I AM disputing that any person who ever got hit in the head and has an amyloid plaque or some abnormal Tau deposition has CTE. People age... therefore, brains age...and aging results in abnormalities, regardless of whether or not you spent your life in a bubble or hitting your head against a concrete wall. Search the scholarly literature for anything other than descriptive data on CTE and you come up empty. And before 2010, barely any literature existed at all. Right now, IMO, this is essentially an irresponsible paparazzi driven whirlwind because of who it is affecting and how this story is being told. -
Official Pre-game Thread: Week 9, Chiefs vs Bills
transient replied to Dan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Please tell me that it doesn't hang in the closet next to your Tyler Thigpen, Levi Brown and Brian Brohm jerseys. -
Preceded by slight **sigh** and accompanied by utter lack of facial expression.

Realistic expectations for Tuel on Sunday?
transient replied to KikO M G's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seems about right. IMO, if his passes attempted exceed the teens we're screwed. Gotta go back to the Ravens gameplan. -
Realistic expectations for Tuel on Sunday?
transient replied to KikO M G's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly... I mean, Levitre certainly would have made sure Manuel got out of bounds or slid after picking up the first down, and no question he would have helped protect Lewis's ribs on that shot he took on the read option play. He probably also could have held Kolb's hand when he walked across the slippery mat, and kept defenders from breathing extra hard on his concussion prone head, as well. -
Realistic expectations for Tuel on Sunday?
transient replied to KikO M G's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So your prediction is not only will we beat the Chiefs, but we'll steal two of their victories, as well? Or were players in violation of NCAA eligibility rules for two of those wins for accepting handouts from an alum? My Tuel prediction is it will be midway through the second quarter at the earliest before that "I'm SO f$%d" deer in the headlights look leaves his face. I was expecting that we'd win this game because with Manuel or Lewis we were better than the competition that KC faced so far... with Tuel, we ARE that competition. -
I agree. IMO, they sat Spiller today because with or without him, in the grand scheme of things, it was likely a loss, and having him healthy the rest of the way with the second half of the schedule being much easier was more important. Big picture, they should have taken the same approach with SJ when it was clear he was hurt.

Aaron Maybin - LB, Toronto Argonauts
transient replied to Punch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought he was hyping the fact he was an All American Football League standout. -
Time spent on this forum, or any other, is the definition of wasted time.

This Marrone fella, he's gonna be a good one
transient replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dick Jauron coached teams in 3 years didn't total the amount of watchable football that Marrone has gotten out of any one of the games he's coached this season, save maybe the Jets game. The only hope Jauron had was to bore the other team to sleep, then coach not to lose to them. -
Strange deal. You know, the devil taking a little piece of your soul one loss at a time. Hope you got something good in return.

As a fan who born into this hell, I should call CPS on you for the good of your children's mental health. My first memory of the Bills was the Wildcard game that they beat the Jets in '81. I was 9. Too young to appreciate the fact that it was their first playoff win since the '60s. Apparently not too young to appreciate the win was something to remember. I have mixed emotions about that day. I may have been a bit less frustrated long term if I'd stayed in my room (I think I had gotten in trouble, and was given a choice by my mom of staying in my room or sitting in a chair in the kitchen so my dad could keep an eye on me; in hindsight, I should call CPS on my mom for cruel and unusual punishment ). If I hadn't been in the kitchen that day (evening, if I recall) watching the game on a portable TV with my father, I would have had to find something else to bond with him over (maybe something ultimately a little less maddening). I would also probably have an entirely different group of friends, which if I was saying this directly to them, I would say would be ideal and they'd know I was kidding - my relationship with my dad and my friends are the best things to come out of this godforsaken mess of a franchise. I can't complain too loudly, though. I can't remember the '70s, but I'm old enough to have had a lot of fun and gotten into a lot of trouble through the late '80s/early '90s run. As I'm typing this, I can also understand why younger fans who missed the '90s seem so pissed right now... I can't imagine being a fan with only memories from the mid-late '90s on, never yet getting a sense that this franchise CAN actually succeed. Here's to hoping this '13 version is on a trajectory similar to that '86 or '87 version. I know we'd like some immediate success, but there's something to be said for watching a toddler learn to run, as well. Too bad Van Miller isn't here to tell you to fasten your seatbelts. GO BILLS!!!
