I know our O-line is not performing the best lately, but damn this game really gives one some perspective. Both O-lines in this game are playing horrible. I mean, if you have less than 2 seconds to throw the ball, even really good QB's are going to struggle.

Todd Schlopy story. Local boy done Good
Buff the Cat replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
That was great! Thanks for sharing. -
My vote would definitely be the original Bar-Bill (in East Aurora). Not only do they have great wings, but their beef on weck is excellent. I grew up right in that area and always loved to go there. We live outside the state now, but when we visit we make sure to hit that place everytime.

Josh Allen - week TWELVE report card
Buff the Cat replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember when Joe Cribbs was our running back and Joe Ferguson our QB. I admired all those pros when I was a kid but was heartbroken on how bad the team was at the time. Then came Jim Kelly and there was NO singular telltale sign that he would be a HOF QB, but what was noticeable for me was that there was something special about him (maybe he is the answer I thought at the time). Been hoping for that feeling again for a long time and Josh Allen might be doing something similar. You can see he is a baller and it seems his progression is moving in the right direction. It makes me excited to see where this team go with him as the QB. -
With every game, Beane looks better

I agree that he has done a great job so far. FWIW, Ford shifted to RT not LT. -
Nathan Peterman preseason breakdown
Buff the Cat replied to cover1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I hear ya Kelly. It is worrisome until it happens and then it is either euphoria or disaster. The math says a 40 yard out to the same side of the field (left side or "near side") using the example above would be a 48 yard pass. A pass to the opposite side of the field (weak side) would be a 50 yard pass. -
Nathan Peterman preseason breakdown

For all those enamoured with downfield arm strength, please keep in mind that a 20 yard out to the opposite side of the field, is close to the same distance as a 40 yard "bomb" with the difference being in that more "zip" is required on the ball on most out passes. For example; 40 yard bomb: The team is set at the left hash mark and the receiver is 15 yards away from the QB. The receiver does a "go' route (meaning straight ahead) then the total distance thrown DOWNFIELD is equal to approximately 43 yards. DOWNFIELD is capitalized because it does not take into account the arch or the true trajectory of the throw, it is simply "how far" downfield. c2 = a2 + b2 So, a= 15 yards, b= 40 yards. 20 yard out to the opposite side of the field: The team is set at the left hash mark and the receiver is 15 yards away to the right of the QB. The receiver does an "down and out", at the point of reception (near the sidelines) the receiver is now 29.75 yards away from the QB laterally and 20 yards away vertically. So, c2 = a2 + b2, a= 29.75 yards, b= 20 yards which equals 36 yards. This pass pattern usually requires more "zip" on the ball to hit the out pattern and is only 4 yards different than the "bomb" pass. Zip on the ball, and of course, accuracy is extremely important on many throws. My point here is to show that an Out, In, or Seam, pattern can require as much "zip" and as much "arm strength" as those people demanding deep throw "bomb" strength. Full Mathematical Disclosure = Field Length 120 yards including endzones, Field Width 53.3 yards (out of bounce-to-out of bounce), NFL space between Hash Marks 6.2 yards. -
RD 1, Pick 27: Tre'Davious White (CB) - LSU
Buff the Cat replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seems like the Bills got a solid pick with this guy AND also by trading down, getting set up to possibly pick a QB in next years draft, which by all accounts appears to have a MUCH higher QB class. So, I am fine with the pick, let's see what this new staff has to offer us. -
Nigel Bradham's comments about Rex Ryan's defense
Buff the Cat replied to gr8billsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's is a whole bunch of assumptions rolled into one post. I can make some as well, here goes; Rex taught the defense his scheme during training camp and saw there was some "push-back" or reluctance of some players to 'get into" the new scheme. Rex knowing that the defense was stout the last 2 years under Pettine and Schwartz decides to do a mix between his own scheme and that of the Pettine/Schwartz scheme to mollify players. Rex understands that even though his scheme has proven successful, so has Pettine and Schwartz's recent schemes as well. The season starts and our defense for the beginning part of the year is "ok". Rex tries to install a little more of his scheme to the mixed scheme they are running to improve the defense, but it makes it worse. He backs off a bit and uses a little more of the prior regime's scheme and it doesn't seem to help as well. As the season progresses and the clearer the picture becomes to who can and/or will do the Rex scheme becomes apparent, as well as our playoff hopes are finalized. Rex finally goes "all in" on his own scheme the last 2 games and our defense plays some great ball. Thinking about the season in retrospect, Rex realizes that he should have stuck with his full out scheme from the first game and endeavors to not only bring the current players up to full speed on the scheme but also bring in new players, as well as drop existing players, to solidify that scheme for the upcoming season. -
Over/Under on Yahoo viewers?
Buff the Cat replied to Punching Bag's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It does suck big time that the Sunday Ticket doesn't offer the game. Did you try screen mirroring the phone at least? -
WTF, did Sammy say? I need a translation, I kind of get the jist of it, but WTF?
-
Agreed. Also, on another note how much of the negative viewing experience is due to poor ISP's, overloaded nodes, and/or viewer over-expectations due to a lack of tech-know how etc., etc.

Easy now, I apologize if I offended you. But I was responding to your comment that you had a 30+mb down, which nowadays IMO, is not much especially for streaming HD content from the internet. Many people that I have spoke to, (not you), think they are actually getting 30mbytes of download data etc.
