Plus the windy game with 3 attempts. So our stats are basically averaged in with 1 whole less game than the rest of the league. Skewed stat.

If the Bills re-sign Edmunds, they're stupid.
Bookie Man replied to damj's topic in The Stadium Wall
He (Edmunds) hasn't been making impact plays. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he's big and fast. He's good in the zone because he covers a lot of ground. But yeah his instincts are way below average and he can be a liability. -
Why didn't Buffalo pull the Harbaugh Maneuver?
Bookie Man replied to Awwufelloff's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m not gonna sleep for 2 days. Maybe 3. -

Imagine scoring a TD w/ 13 seconds left and not being sure if you left too much time on the clock. This is so *****.

I wanted very badly to give up extra capital to get roquan smith. Even though there were Like 6 picks apart , roquan has about twice the impact. Are people finally seeing TE is not an impact player? -
Honestly what do you do moving forward?
Bookie Man replied to Milanos Milano's topic in The Stadium Wall
Big DT and a natural MLB will make this defense elite. (Not fake elite). And IOL. That’s my wishlist. -
I like how this board goes from “he deserves a HC job” to “good riddance mother%#&&er.” 😂 I’m with you guys though.

This d isn’t half of what 99 was. Not physical at all. Course buffalo rips our hearts out.

That’s what literally everyone in the bills bar was saying. Hold them, don’t let them off the line. It made no sense no to do it.

Prevent defense ***** us. Why would you do that??

Divisional round Saturday - Rams at Bucs on NBC

Pulling for Stafford. -
Mafia outside the USA -- Sound Off! Where will you watch?
Bookie Man replied to macnmotion's topic in The Stadium Wall
Some awesome locations. It’d be interesting to hear everyone’s story on how you ended up there or how you began to follow the Bills living in a foreign country. But I suppose that’s a whole different thread. GL today all. -
Divisional Round SATURDAY: Bengals at Titans, 4:30 on CBS
Bookie Man replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Titans win by DD. 33-17. -
Are we/media setting ourselves up for a defensive battle?
Bookie Man replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall
If both teams try to control the clock to keep the others offense off of the field, I could definitely see a 24-20 game. -
Refs and bad calls have ramifications
Bookie Man replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
Just to be clear, I didn't say "you" were framing it. I clearly said "they" (nice try to you though!) Either way, It's a misleading stat. I never implied that any refs were on the take. I just think they're bad. And I think if you get in their wallet, they wouldn't be as bad. That's my take. Pretty simple really. And you disagree. It's all good. -

Bookie Man replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm not talking about clean plays. If they wan't to frame their 99% accuracy rate around every single play, that is a misleading stat. I'm talking about plays that involved a flag or a play where there was foul, but no flag. What % of those are accurate and consistent with every other call they make. It seems calls vary week to week on what is a penalty and what is not. I see it. Even commentators have mentioned it during broadcast. If you think NFL reffing is A+ and there is no room for improvement, then I believe you may be one the very few. I believe it is a broken system and there is much room for improvement. I believe harsher pay grades would help. Doubt it will ever happen, but that is my view. -
Refs and bad calls have ramifications
Bookie Man replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
99% accuracy on all calls? Do you honestly feel like that is true? They make the same calls on a consistent week 99% of the time? Thank you for the link, but I am understanding what you have reiterated. I responded to this earlier by saying there is NOT ENOUGH accountability and NOT ENOUGH penalty. Not getting the extra playoff game is hardly a penalty. You could argue that some of the crews working the playoff games are equally as bad as the ones who are not. -

Ok so you meant to say get rid of "on field" refs. Huge difference. A ref in office is still a ref. And I am a fan of that idea. I'm speaking about penalties affecting human behavior altogether. Whether crime or occupation, accountability improves results. I'm not saying all refs are intentionally calling unfair games or making terrible calls in every game. Are some games? Yes, without a doubt. I've seen it for and against Buffalo. And I disagree, I believe if an unfairly reffed game directly affects the amount they get paid, they will call a more fair game. And yes, I know that each game is reviewed and graded. But then what? If they screw up, then what? They issue an apology? And yes, I know no sports league holds refs accountable through fines or decreased pay. What I'm saying is they should. -

Bookie Man replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
Want to get rid of crime? Get rid of law enforcement. I never implied that idea, I'm not sure why you said that. I explicitly said law does not remove crime and penalty does not remove human error. But it decreases it. If you knew 100% without a doubt, if you were to rob a bank and wouldn't get caught, would you do it? You and many others might say no. But there are many others who would. The penalty of going to prison, doesn't stop robberies from happening, but it decreases it. If you knew you were on the hot seat at work, would you pay extra attention to detail and be careful not to make any extra errors? Say if you were a teacher and were accused of treating students unfairly and at risk of losing your job, would you be mindful to treat everyone equally? Shorting the till? I never mentioned that either. I will repeat what I said. In most restaurants, probably 90% , if you ring in an order wrong, all you have to do is re-ring it and they comp the food off of the ticket. But in the other 10%, if you ring in the order wrong, they make you pay for the food. And in those restaurants, the comp % is substantially lower. Why do you think that is? And that is my point. If referees knew they were going to be penalized (more than not getting called for big games, that is more like not getting your bonus check) for not calling a fair game, the games would be called more fairly. There is ZERO game to game accountability. I'm saying there should be review, transparency and grades. And pay should be dependent on those grades.
