  1. You know. Jimmy. The guy, from the block. Jimmy fer C#ristsake. You know Jimmy
  2. Yes, the endzone sections are rowdier. More of a party atmosphere. Can be fun, if you're in the mood. But I would never call the fans in the seats between the 30's a "sit on your hands crowd". They are a "watching the game crowd". They cheer like crazy. But during the play they are far more likely to be watching what's going on on the field than watching the fight in the back row. Bills fan simply aren't a "sit on your hands crowd" no matter what section you're in, IMO. I also tend to like sitting outside with the fans more than I like the suites and inclosed boxes. Attending a live game and sitting indoors has never appealed to me. Though I'll admit I have taken advantage of them from time to time.
  3. Exactly my first thought. Glad they got the tough one 😆 out of the way early.
  4. I am not familiar with the NY State school of design. What would count as "typical"?
  5. Nope. I also can't imagine Tom Landry, Bud Grant, Chuck Knox, etc., doing it either.
  6. Well, yes it does seem a bit odd to me. That is IF he has been invited to some of these functions. If not, then it doesn't seem odd at all. But if I'm getting your insinuation, someone can't "move on with their life" and still accept an invitation from a former employer or coworker for a charity event, or a reunion of some sort, on a rare occasion? And yes, there are many stranger things going on. So nothing is to be considered strange if other stranger things exist. I didn't realize that. Like I said, not a huge deal, but seems a bit odd to me.
  7. Outstanding!!! Actually I think the OP has a point, if it is try that Schobel has NEVER returned for ANY team, or former teammate, event since he left the Bills. I don't know if that's the case, but that seems to be what has been posited. One can have a perfectly normal, non football life, but still make the OCCASIONAL appearance, I think. If he has returned a time or two, then this isn't that bizarre. If he has never accepted an invitation to return, that strikes me a bit odd
  8. So you named him Fatty McButterPANTS, not Fatty McButterfingers? Are you sure you arebthe King of Nicknames?
  9. If we recall this, maybe I should change the "What's" in my post to "What are". I went and made "metric" plural and forgot to change the rest. Duh
  10. And here I was going to guess Autoerotic Asphyxiation.
  11. One would think a Nickname King would make a better nickname for himself. A pretender to the throne, perhaps?
  12. Just wondering wouldn’t wingspan be a better metric here. And then factor in vertical leaping ability for some situations at least
  13. No doubt. But you did see this, right? Some here seem to think Bojo's the only punter to lose his job over poor holding. I think there are many cases you never hear about. Punters are brought in for auditions in the off-season and during the year. Some stick for a short time, others never make the cut. No chance the biggest issue is their inability to hold CONSISTENTLY? It seems many here underrate/undervalue ST play. "Can't some backup do that?" Well, yes they probably can. But can/will they do it consistently at an excellent-to-elite level? A CHAMPIONSHIP level? Again I believe Araiza will be fine. But don't pretend it's a trivial issue
  14. Again, I think Araiza figures it out. But I wouldn’t assume holding has all that much to do with being athletic. https://theathletic.com/3295131/2022/05/05/bills-punt-god-matt-araiza/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983
  15. I understand the combination coverages. I'm asking if they play different coverages on different sides, does that count as "man coverage" in the quoted calculation? If it doesn't, the number looks to be quite high to me. If it does, it really isn't full man coverage, but rather a hybrid that should count partially in both categories. No?
  16. I suppose by some people. but I doubt by most in the NFL. Yes, the Browns were/are a dysfunctional clusterfu#k. Mayfield was part of that dysfunction, not apart from it. Publicly dumping on your ex head coach, complaining about lack of support when your team makes a really solid roster with terrific WRs and RBs isn't going to endear you to most teams, IMO. I hope this anti-process player stays very far from the Bills.

  18. Yes, up down around and around. Of course I meant up. Then then again, isn't a lower draft number "down"? 🤣 Thanks for clearing that up. Just curious, according to whom? If they play zone, but with on CB man, how is that coded?
  19. Right. Unless he's injured, suspended, etc. But under normal circumstances, he can be expected to be active.
