  1. Heading to a friend's wedding in Rochester, and the recommended hotel is the Strallahan downtown. My concern is that the reviews on Tripadvisor are mostly negative. What's the real story about the place from anyone who stayed there?

    I haven't stayed there since I live just down the street, and that would just be a damn waste, but I've heard its not too sweet. Where is the wedding and what part of town are you looking to stay in?

  2. One of their fans said...

     

    That gives us 5 players in our secondary who were 1st round draft picks...Hall, Clements, Jones, Nelson, and Whitner.

     

    Along with two 1st round LBs (Lawson and Rivers), and two 2nd round LBs (Maualuga and Howard).

     

    Our back seven is pretty talented at least on paper - 9 players in the back 7 were 1st or 2nd rounders.

     

    WOW... Just Wow... :wallbash:

    By Cincinnati logic our DL this year should look something like Kelsay, Flowers, McCargo, Maybin. Great work Bungles fans!

  3. What kind of wine goes with crayons? I've just picked up a box of 64 colors which I intend to dine on tonight. I was thinking of doing a 5 course tasting menu, but need help with the pairings:

     

    Burnt Sienna - perhaps a strong Burgundy

    Aquamarine - dry riesling

    Shocking Pink - maybe a blush or rose

    Brick Red - thats an easy one, cab sauvignon for sure

    and for dessert

    Banana Mania - a nice aged port, or maybe a fruity chiraz?

     

    Any suggestions.

  4. It would certainly be difficult to for CJ to be less involved than he was last year. I expect him to get more carries, and catch a lot of balls in the backfield as well as run some short routes. I anticipate Gailey will try to use him similar to Westbrook and Faulk (later in their respective careers) or Reggie Bush. Unless he can pick up the blitz he's effectively useless though.

     

    The minute he checks into the game opposing defenses know its a running play, since he cannot pass block. Screens do not work with CJ for the very same reason. If CJ does not vastly improve his pass protection and ball security, it could be another long season on the sideline.

     

    I am curious to see if Gailey will split CJ out wide like he did once last season, and Spiller did a few times in college. If I recall correctly, CJ moved from the backfield into the slot drawing the LB over into coverage, and then either went in motion to the sideline or the route was from slot to sideline and then straight downfield. CJ burned his man but the ball was over thrown. Either way, total mismatch.

     

    Captain Foresight told me to expect alot more screens out of CJ and hopefully the potential to get the ball in space more often this year.

    I hope my comment doesn't rub Captain Foreskin the wrong way, but I don't think you should be taking football advice from your penis.

  5. Are you talking about Bills fans or Raiders fans? I think it would probably apply to both.

    Well that type of thinking will get you in trouble. The point is our fans don't need to change as long as there are other that are worse.

     

    In other words: "I don't have a drinking problem. That guy at the end of the bar is a much bigger drunk than me." See?

  6. If the idea is to pick a game which will strongly dissuade your wife from ever returning to the Ralph, the Raiders game is ideal. Their fans can best be characterized as unwashed, obnoxious, of sub-standard intelligence and generally hostile. Fights are guaranteed, especially if the Bills are losing. Raider fandom has spread like herpes, in fact the correlation between the rise of Raider nation across the country and the spread of herpes is shockingly similar, so there will be a lot of trashy Raider fans out that day further increasing the chances of incident.

  7. :thumbsup: I am right there with you ... living in South Jersey where every Eagles' fan even in their losing seasons has always felt in the preseason like this was going to be THE BIG YEAR ... now, yes they do boo Santa Claus but they are eternal optimists with their Eagles!

    Eagles fans are bad human beings. Liking the Eagles doesn't make one bad, it just so happens that bad people are attracted to the Eagles for whatever reason. If you were on a bus full of strangers, it would be easy to pick out the Eagles fan because he would be the one hitting you in the face with a hammer. Whether its booing Santa Claus, booing their draft picks, cheering when Irvin was temporarily paralyzed, breaking Chief Wahoo's leg, the crowded jail cell in the basement of the old Vet, or the way they run their star players out of town, Iggles fans get to write it all off as "we're just passionate fans," and then send me some SI article from 15 years ago which names Philly fans the most informed in the league. Let's stop with the BS. Iggles fandom is hardly the gold standard.

  8. All candidates for the Wall of Shame?? Actually, Alex Smith's season when Norv Turner was OC was pretty good with like 18 TDs and 10 INTs. Leaf & Akili were worthless.

     

    Bills actually have quite a few Hall of Shame candidates with Walt Patulski as overall #1, Mike Williams & Flowers.

    Unlike Maybin, all the other players you've mentioned got off the bench, had several career starts. Maybin has been a healthy scratch for most of his career. Compare the career stats of any of the other major busts to Maybin and they blow him away.

  9. So far Maybin has contributed one costly penalty on special teams, one drive sustaining roughing the passer penalty (which lead to a TD I believe) and one big time celebration after a routine tackle while losing by 20 points. Purely looking at stats, Jamarcus Russel and Joey Harrington are hall of fame candidates compared to Maybin. Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith and Alex Smith are all above average in comparison. No team in professional sports has gotten less production from a top 10 draft pick since Len Bias with the Celtics. And given the negative production on Maybin's stat line, even that's sort of a toss up.

     

    Worst draft pick in sports history.

  10. The sunday night games are so much better it's not even close. What the hell is MNF doing.

    Too bad Sunday night football is unwatchable. I don't care if Olberman got canned, its unforgiveable that he was ever covering football to begin with. And if Olberman weren't bad enough we get Rodney f'ing Harrison. Combine terrible personalities with the most disjointed pre-game coverage imaginable as they switch back and forth between the six different reporting tandems, toss in a horse trailer for some reason and the 45 minute theme song from Pink, and I'm ready to stab my eyes out with a pointy stick and pour acid in my ears. I despise Sunday night football.

  11. 300 feet's pretty marginal for SCUBA to begin with, from what I understand. And diving at all in the Gulf of Bothnia is probably non-trivial - it's practically at the Arctic Circle.

    Nonsense. Bob Ballard dove 10,000 feet with nothing more than a snorkel and a pair of cardboard fins to discover the Titanic. Ted Kennedy also dove to depths of 300 feet in his 1963 Chrysler. We can do it, we have the technology.

  12. Has Asante recorded a tackle yet in his career? I love his signature, jump the route, almost get a hand on the ball and then miss the tackle. Any Eagles fan can tell you all about it. Samuels best days were in New England where it almost seemed like he knew what the offense was going to do. His instincts just haven't been the same since he left.

  13. I can't believe people are actually hoping to finish dead last in the league to get Andrew Luck. How can we consider ourselves to be great fans if 25% of us are hoping we suck!?! Is this an indication of how miserable people from WNY are on a regular basis? I live in South Central PA, surrounded by Eagles, Skins, Ravens, and Steeler fans and none of them talk this negatively (or hope for the worst) about their team. No wonder we are a laughing stock!

     

    I understand not everyone feels this way, but it makes me sick to read some of these posts.

     

    /soapbox

    I know you think you've got total street cred cause you're from South Central, straight outta Compton, but you have no right to judge us. List all the gang afilliations you want but we're not intimidated. I don't care if you run with the Skins or used to bang with the Eagles, we got gangs too. Ever heard of the 5th Street Kielbasa Boys or the Polish Queens or the 4H? They own these streets!

  14. Osi is a pure 4-3 DE, with injury problems at that. In no way does he fit in our defensive scheme. Can a team that is not in contention really throw away high draft picks on a guy that probably wouldn't even help them? There are WAY more important holes on this team that need to be fixed, (MLB, OL, TE,...)

    Agreed. We don't have room for him. Somehow Osi will wind up going to the Pats for a 7th rounder in 2019.

  15. It's just a guess but probably the people who whine the most, lack satisfaction in their own personal lives. I got a great life and would rather delude myself about the Bills being playoff contenders in August than female dog about it. Fact is, this country is jsut getting filled with a bunch of complainers who nothing to solve problems except B word about them.

     

    Anyways, I'm off to make racist comments on a CNN comment section. :pirate:

    I laughed pretty hard at that. Clearly you know how to really appreciate life's simple pleasures.
