Sheeit, TimeWarner in Rochester must be down. Channel 8 is black and when I call them, "all circuits are busy". At least I got the radio back.
Verified- Time Warner is having problems - I am in Rochester/Irondequoit and it is an outage area. Screen froze at 4:40 left in first Quarter and Texan 1st and ten. I just have the radio on now.

Two Bills Drive supports our team.

At the beginning of each season, I try to be optimistic. I have stopped having any expectation except they will play 16 games.
I stopped buying the hype a few years ago. It makes it easier for me to deal with another year and no championship.
I am glad I did not know after the Bills did not go to "Super Bowl I" that 50 years later I would still be saying,"wait until next year."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Buffalo Bills receiver Marcus Easley has left Monday night's game against the New England Patriots with a head injury.
The Bills said he would undergo testing for a concussion and would not return.

Maybe they can get Chad Kelly.
I was wondering how long before I would see his name for 2016.
Personally I would hate to come to play in Buffalo if I was Chad Kelly. People would immediately expect him to be Jim Kelly.
That is too big a burden on any rookie!

I am really beginning to hate the NFL....
+1
They do not even bother to hide the fact that it is all about the money.
In Buffalo, if they want to regionalize the franchise, broadcast the game to the region - at least the "75 mile blackout readius".
I get NFL network and feel bad for local fans who do not have it.
IMO those red uniforms should be burned.

Please take a remedial writing course. it will help translating your insane jibbersh.
You and GreggtyT need to get a room.

Two hundred-yard rushers, a WR with over 160 yards, and a QB with what has to be a near perfect. QB rating.
But it was an ugly win.
Post of the day!

My only reason question is question 1. I'm asking how and why it started................I don't think it can be reversed, either..................I have never once in my life, with many hundreds of games, and hundreds of concerts - asked or told anybody to ever sit down. I think people should be able to get their money's worth.............And, I've been told to sit down tons of times. Many times I say you tell those people in front of me.
I only asked someone to sit down one time. We were about 20 rows in the upper deck on the Bills side near the goal line. He was the only person standing, and stood most of the game. The action was about mid field moving away from us, and even HE was watching the game on the jumbo. He was also pretty trashed.
I asked him to sit, and he gave me a real eff you look, turned around and stayed standing, even during commercials. He was about twice my size, and was blocking a few people's view. I just shrugged my shoulders and watched the game on the screen when I had to.
I have MS and cannot stand the whole game, but I always stand when there is a reason! There is nothing like a live game, so you enjoy the good and try to ignore the dick heads.

I wonder what her heirs did to piss her off.

I have consulted the experts; the fruits and the nuts, the wooly worms and the fog.I have watched the sunsets and looked at the water.All I can tell you is that it is going to be an up and down Winter across the country. You folks around the Buffalo area and great lakes region; it'll be cold. Ya'll will get some snow but it'll be cold. Late winter you'll get more snow, but it'll be cold.
You needed to consult fruits nuts, wooley worms, and fog to tell us that it will be cold and it will snow in Buffalo this winter?

Sorry I cam off like an ass Rock, was. Not my intention. Agree 100% on the responsibility point.
You did not come off as an ass.
No apology needed. I had three daughters and a son and was delighted when they all had their own wheels!
I also had trouble sleeping until I heard them get home.

And you guys can tell me till the cows come home she should pay for her own insurance. aint going to happen!
I defy any of you guys to have a day that starts at 4.00 AM everyday but Sunday, ends no earlier than 8 with homework (with no real breaks in between)...and go out and get a second job to pay for something you don't have right now.
Different world now...she works 10 times harder than i do.
I was just relating my experience. I would not presume to tell you what works best for you.
My main point, which seems to not apply to your daughter, is that many young people expect that getting a license and driving a car is a given. Too many people do not teach their children responsibility.
Life is a B word. My children also had schedules that included work, school, and optional after school activities.
The world is not that different!

First advice. Long story, but I am thinking of buying one of those Keurig type coffee machines. i like my coffee hot and about a 16oz cup. Any recommendations?
Next prayers. Daughter gets her license at 12:01 AM tomorrow morning. Talk about worry! It's my first one to get license, and I am a mess!
1. Keurig is handy if you just want a cup. It is a real waste if you go through a pot of coffee a day , or you are making coffee for several people.
2. I have four grown children (now adults). The driving rule for all had three parts:
When you turn 16 you can get your learner's permit.
When you turn 17 you can take your road test to get a license.
When you can pay for your insurance you can drive a car.
I would let them stay on my policy as long as they were smart and lived in my house.
When my oldest was moving out, I told her we had to go to the insurance company and the DMV. I had no idea who might "borrow" her car.
When she tried to stall, I told her I could sign the title over to her right then, remove the plates from the car, and call the town about an abandoned car in my driveway.
So, I drove with her to my insurance agent and made the necessary changes. We went to the DMV and changed title and registration on her car.
I had a few people tell me I was too hard on her.
Within two weeks, someone driving her car, was in a hit and run fender bender.
On some things with your children, you do not bluff.

Are people suggesting that 7 games into the new regime we need to fire the coaches and GM? Honestly, this is an absurd notion. I know people are tired of not making the playoffs... But there's not a coach, GM, Free agent or draft pick that's going to come in and be 100% right and good and have us on top of the AFC from day 1. The world doesn't work that way people.
Dan, you are making sense again and not soiling yourself. Please, if we want a rational opinion, we will read Jerry Sullivan.

There are still tickets available, you should just shut up and go to the game.
Thank you.

So Rochester IS in the local market?
Isn't this an away game anyways?
Why wouldn't this be aired in Rochester?
I am hearing conflicting reports.
Someone please advise.
Imo
During the blackout days, Rochester was in the local market. All stations within a 75 mile radius of the Ralph were prohibited from airing a HOME game not sold out.
For this game they decided only one Buffalo station and one Jacksonville station can broadcast the game.
They are making up the rules as they go.
I will be out of town, so I can't DVR it.
I hope the Yahoo servers can handle it.
Exclusivity is NOT the way I want the NFL to go.

...and no one has said anything about penalties.
Defense stops Bengals on third down and get dinged for a personal foul. First down!
...and special teams.
Oooh, I am on my own nine yard line - fair catch!
This was such a TEAM loss - from the players to the coaches.
-
The question is which one to draft. I remember Alex Van Pelt said he really like Joe Flacco. But because we already had Trent Edwards, they did not pull the trigger. They thought Trent Edwards was good enough. But we could have drafted Flacco anyway.
I also remember in the Philips Rivers and Eli Manning draft, we could have traded up to get Roethlisberger but did not pull the trigger.
We have to keep drafting more QB and often so we could increase the odd of hitting one. We have no other choice.
I was just replying to Screwy when he said they have to draft a QB high in the draft.
I was pointing out EJ was a #1 pick.
I am not saying we had many choices. *-)

I thought that the local broadcast market is defined by a 75 mile radius?
When the blackout rule was in place this was true, and it was on NBC.
Because the CBS station in the Syracuse "market radius" over laps a few bars, several homes a bunch of cows, grapevines, a lake, and a swamp, Syracuse would be blacked out under the old rules for a HOME game that did not sell out.
Rochester news said tonight that in WNY, only the Buffalo station can broadcast the game.
Buffalo is not even the home team, so they are just making up new blackout rules as they go make money.
This is 100% about trying to extend the market to the internet. They are getting their feet west testing this out on two crappy teams.
As I said in another post "Ya-Freaking-Hoo".
So much for "regionalizing" the franchise!
I miss the old days where someone would now tell me that if I did not like the blackout I should just shut up and go to the game. I guess i am not a real fan.

Isn't the water kinda cold this time of year?
I think it is always pretty cold, but I have only been to SF once.
That is an amazing video!
I'm taking my Sundays back.
You have to have low expectations to survive as a Bills fan.
I started with, "I expect they will play 16 games in 2015 regular season" and did not look for a more lofty goal.
Well then looks like I'll be missing another Bills game. Oh the horror.
This actually pisses me off.
I will be out of town, but cannot DVR the game because it will be BLACKED OUT in Rochester, NY.
It will only be broadcast by Jacksonville and Buffalo TV stations.
Now when there was a blackout rule because a HOME game did not sellout 72 hours before kickoff, they extended "local" broadcast blackout to include all the way to east Syracuse stations.
Yet, when Buffalo is the VISITING team (in f*cking England), the "local" broadcast rule for home games is thrown away.
Ya - Freaking - Hoo!
So much for building good will and REGIONALIZING the team. Once again they show us how much they disregard the fans.

It is ironic that the internet, especially social media, is often blamed for making people impersonal, isolated, or "dulled" to the real world.
Nothing could be more incorrect, in my opinion.
I have made friends here who I have never met except in virtual reality.
Some have become friends in the "real" world.
Some have been my friends for a decade or two.
We have shared our happiness and our pain.
My three daughters and son are grown up and are friends with some of you.
They have graduated high school or maybe college.
Some are married and have children. I have eight grandchildren.
We have had some very personal conversations.
Parents, children, and even some of the TBD people have died since we met here.
Over the past decade, YOU have sponsored me for well over $10,000 when I do the MS Walk every year.
Bill, you need to know that you have friends here. Amanda, we have never met but I pray for you and Bill and your family.
Looking for Bill's thoughts "in no particular order" is a habit for me, and many others.
Just wanted to let you know in my small way that you matter.

And those play calls were absolutely wonderful?
They have not adapted the play calling or continued with what was working. They had success up the seams, they had success putting Clay outside the hashes on routes, but it's not working.
Yes, EJ isn't playing amazing - won't set his feet, for example - but this is not on Manuel.
rex isn't workign with anyone. he's a defensive coach with a top 5 talented defensive team.
the defense has been more of a let down and a coach with some balls would call out his own guys and discipline them. they've been lazy, aloof, and without heart. marrone would have this team doing sprints for hours playing so piss poor.
counting mckelvin as a loss at this point is ridiculous. darby has been playing as good or better then mckelvin so it's a wash. the aaron williams loss isn't hurting too bad.
Jeff, changing the D from a 4-3 to a 3-4 was a BAD decision. I blame the coaches, but you make some good points.
Penalties kill Buffalo, especially after a great play on ALL teams. (offense, defense, special teams)
Time of possession was exactly 30 minutes each, btw.
Oh, and ScrewyLouie - EJ was a number one pick. Taking a QB early in the draft is not the answer. Taking a good QB would be a better idea.
But what do I know, I am dumber than a box of rockpiles.
I survive as a fan by having low expectations.

Why is is 14 - 6 ? I saw the Bills firstTD, listened to the 2ndTD. Did Tex miss the extra point?
