Oh no doubt. Charlotte can't come close to our passion. I see almost as many Bills' jerseys as Panthers ones. I just think as an overall city they are more forward thinking & diverse. It's really interesting to see.
There are so many great resources in Buffalo that go to waste because of old school thinking. But no matter where I go, no one will ever be more proud than I am to be from Buffalo. Very few cities in the world have more pride than Buffalo.
I live in Charlotte and can attest to how bad the football culture is here. On any given Sunday, there are Bills fans tailgating in lots. To go watch the Bills game at a Bills bar. I realize the Panthers are less than 20 years old and most fans are still Redskins fans from way back when, but it's kind of sad.

Sexy doesn't equal championship. Tell that to the Packers or Spurs or Carolina Hurricanes or Tampa Bay Lightning/Bucs or Indianapolis or Anaheim

I'm out of town and wondering if, aside from Twitter and BB.com live blogging, will there be a radio/telecast of the game? WGR or some other entity?

More than you know.

Stevie went down w/ what looks like L hamstring injury; had to be helped off field.

Effortless spirals and deep ball capabilities do not equal good quarterbacking.

If you watched the final press conference for the Sabres this year, you'll know that our local media personalities are local for a reason. At one point Black said, "which question do you want me to start answering before you interrupt me."

Hackett chestbump? per Bills Twitter. I'm really appreciating the energy

We work with the supplier who is making these. Here is the Bills:

training camp needs to start sooner or this board is going to eat itself alive.

My guess is that it's a stock photograph and he didn't take the picture FOR the Facebook post. In that instance, the onus is on the Bills social media team to sniff that out.

The No-punt game...
The 51-3 shellacking of the Raiders
The 95 playoff win over the Dolphins - which sent Shula into retirement.
The 31-0 spanking of Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Season opener.
And of course the greatest comeback game of all-time.
Had to look up that 95 game. Wow, can't believe I forgot it!

That's like saying "Peyton Manning's superbowl win stats are padded because he beat Rex Grossman."
Guess what elite players are supposed to do... Play well against inferior opponents. Jairus does that. Maybe next time he can just swat those balls down instead so you can get a "more realistic" number...
No it wouldn't. Unless Grossman jumped on D. It would be Manning padding his stats if he was playing against a weak defense. Which he wasn't.

In this case, my "eyes" are telling me that you went to a lot of trouble to seek out information that supports a pre-conceived narrative. Not only that, but it could certainly be the case that, although they throw their fair share of INTs, top-tier QBs avoid throwing toward top-tier defenders.
Right, well I guess it's hard to refute an eye-ball test. But you say, "Top-tier QBs avoid throwing toward top-tier defenders," so is there a whole subset of middle- to lower-tier defenders that are scooping up these 114 INTs? And, if so, are INTs an arbitrary stat to use in measuring an effective secondary player?
-
Well, you shouldn't want to get into it. I don't want to either, but I'm sure I can find stats that more than refute your "analysis." Is there some DB that thrives on intercepting top-tier QBs?
Okay. So what's the measuring stick? And I don't know if there is some DB that thrives on INTs of top-tier QBs. I'm just stating that Byrd excels at soley INTing the bottom 10. Which you can say means nothing but, to me, pads his stats a bit as John Beck and Sanchez throw you pop-fly gifts.
-
Wow that was a lot of work to prove... what, exactly?
Guess what? Elite QBs don't throw a lot of interceptions in the first place, so of course you'd expect Byrd (and anyone else) to have little to no interceptions thrown by top tier QBs.
Not that I want to get into this, but the top 10 QBs from last year threw a combined 114 INTs. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/quarterbackRating
There are plenty to go around. And when you face Brady 8 times, I think he's had his fair shots.
And can I just take a step back. I'm not putting Byrd on trial or making ANY conclusions. I just found this interesting.

I didn't use "ya know or like" once

Byrds INT stats tell an interesting story. Especially how different his '09 season was vs '10-'12.
My argument is that '09 is an anomaly and his 3-5 INTs per season are a truer gauge. Also interesting, Byrd doesn't have interceptions vs "elite" QBs or even "Top 10" qbs (unless you're considering M. Schaub) Here are all of the QBs Byrd has intercepted in his career, sometimes multiple times. It's a who's-who of back-ups.
Delhomme
D.Anderson
Sanchez
V. Young
Cassel
Tannehill
Tebow
Beck
Skelton
Kolb
Henne
Schaub

I was at that same festival in delaware(firefly), and it was filled with Bills fans, in fact I have a picture amongst thousands of tents and there in the distance is a Sabres flag flying 10 ft off the ground. I did a let's go buffalo with 3 separate groups of people.

EJ tears his ACL Week 1 and Tuel steps in and throws for 181 yards 1 td 3 ints and the Bills lose 31-7.
Edit: I really didn't want this to be my 100th post. Ugh.
