Mike Judge is an underappreciated talent.

NFL worried about Chargers viability in LA
dpberr replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"It'll be different this time, they said..." Spoiler alert: London and/or Mexico City will give them the same heartburn. -
The only car chase that rivals this classic is the one in Ronin. If you haven't seen it, it's quite exceptional in technical execution. In some ways, the Ronin chase beats Bullitt for two reasons: 1. Considering the complexity of the scenes, zero CGI was used. Real cars, real drivers. 2. While Bullitt was largely shot on nearly empty roads in and around San Francisco, Ronin was shot in and around Paris, across different infrastructure (roads, streets, tunnels) with both traffic and pedestrians. That movie came out in 1998 and there hasn't been a single film since that's rivaled the car scenes.

How much blame does Daboll deserve?
dpberr replied to RosenNOTchosen1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think he and his unit coaches are on the same page tactically or strategically. You have a junior OC and veteran unit coaches and I can see communication problems there. You can have all the blue chip talent in the world but if you have a coach who is having a difficult time teaching the vision and design of the offense to your line, you'll have trouble on Sundays no matter who the personnel is on the field. Regardless of the outcome of the season, I expect the OC to remain and he will get to pick new OL and WR coaches for 2019. -
I sincerely don't get all of the negativity.....
dpberr replied to warrior9's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it stems from frustration - three of four losses were winnable games against "ok" teams. In two of the loses, parts of the team didn't show up at all. The Chargers are the only team so far that I don't think the Bills would beat even half the time in 10 chances. They look put together. -
Benjamin because his attitude sucks, always has sucked, and will continue to suck. He has a loser mentality - despite given inordinate opportunities to succeed in Carolina and Buffalo, he decides not to take advantage of them and that I cannot abide. Peterman is terrible but he's trying and that's the lesser of the two offenses.

The helicopter must have FLIR equipment. Can't see anything at night without a spotlight or that. Interesting. IMO the "person" at the end of the show has to be ex-Savior (and probably female). -
Stubborn loyalty to players and coaches who don't perform will be their demise, not the technical details on any given Sunday. If you're truly a "process uber alles" guy, you're letting your WR and OL coaches go and you're cutting guys like Benjamin for his attitude and Peterman because of his play.

What Do Young People Think When We Post About 90's Bills Teams
dpberr replied to Irv's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In my experience, younger kids seem to dig the 90s Bills colors and "look." -
Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
dpberr replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Trump has a 50% approval rating. It doesn't matter who the Democrats put up in 2020 if it's that high at this time next year. -
Wouldn't it make more sense just to relocate the team elsewhere in the United States if the JAX market isn't a viable one? That plan of his is so stupid.

Crossed my mind reading about the US Marshals operation in Michigan yesterday that found 123 missing children in a single day. They were looking for over 300. I realize children go missing for many reasons but the fact that they were looking for 300 unaccounted for children in one county alone is alarming. I'd think a single missing child is a big deal. Would you support parents having the option of implanting a GPS tracker into their children? The tracker could only be turned on by law enforcement and upon turning 18, the child could have it removed, no questions asked. Would even such an idea work to cut down on human trafficking in the United States? Thoughts? You're clearly trading off freedom for security with the concept.

Amen. It's a dying art. Many schools don't teach shop or home ec anymore. Home Depot had to assemble instructional videos on how to properly use a hammer. The guys here are already more mechanically inclined than say 70% of the population under the age of 40. Looking back, they were probably the two most important classes I ever took in school. Shop taught me fundamentals about tools and repair, which included a section on vehicles. I remember learning how to change wipers, use a jack, what the oil numbers mean, etc. Home Economics taught me basics about cooking, laundry and how a checkbook works.

With that guy it's 100 percent mental. You saw effort in that preseason game against Carolina, paycheck collecting since. I don't understand it because he gets a great free agent deal if he plays well this year.

I doubt Philadelphia will trade a lot for a running back because they need to infuse their secondary with talent next year. Their defense can't get stops on 3rd down. That secondary has been exposed in every game. They are lucky to not be 1-4 or even 0-5. Falcons and Colts almost had them. The Schwartzian pressure is there but by the time they arrive in the backfield, the ball is out.

There is precedent for this with the successful on-air pairing of Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks. 1. The real Christopher Walken and at least two actors who do high quality Walken impressions. 2. William Shatner and Patrick Stewart, which stunning to the NFL hallwalkers, would probably drive ratings up 500%. Haha.

Would you want to live forever?

I think if we legalized assisted suicide in the United States, you'd be surprised at how many would opt for it - of all ages. -

If the Sanctuary sucks as a base of operations, why not move from the Sanctuary to an area that can grow some crops? They spent an entire season ON A FARM. I didn't understand the trip to Washington at all besides the seeds. I find it hard to believe that the canoe and boat inventory would be destroyed and they already had made a wagon. -
This wont go over well...but Sean Mcd is a good coach
dpberr replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The unfortunate thing is he has to constantly be in motivation mode with these players and coaches. If he's on the players and coaches, they come to play Sunday. If he lets off the gas just a little, the concentration and desire lapses. -
Priority: Develop Allen or Win Ugly?
dpberr replied to Berky1010's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You can do both. It's not an either/or proposition.
