    You are compleltly correct.

     

    IMO. I have always believed baseball analytics are much more accurate as baseball is such a one on one sport with much better data to dissect and less of a team sport as most of the action involves one player doing something without much teamwork involved.

     

    Football has such a poetry of motion on every play it has way too many variables to be as accurate with any analytics as baseball can be. The A's I think have proven this for years.

    I like what I see. My eyes have never lied to me.

    I think this is the first time i have agreed fully with someone on here- i am now certain we must be wrong.

    The Patriots dynasty took the air out of a lot of NFL fans. Even if people don't admit it, deep down they know a lot of Pats games in particular are fixed somehow. The game is softer than it ever was, and the pregame shows are just trash with zero insight, personal stories nobody cares about, talking over each other, and fake laughter. I get excited in the offseason but I lose a lot of my passion during the season when I see how much the refs can control the game with subjective holding and PI calls, and now defensive hits. The joy and excitement isn't there anymore, at least not like it used to be. Sunday used to be like Christmas morning, not anymore. 

    I would not say just the pats* but the overall feel that so many calls from officials are made based on preconcieved notions. Combined with rules that do not make sense the game is less fun then 10 years ago.

    WR Order week 1 will be IMO:

     

    KB

    Streater

    Holmes

    Zay

    Coleman

    Ray Ray

    Kerley/Foster

     

    I fully expect early in the season that both Zay and Coleman will have shots to move up the depth chart, but due to both not being here for OTA's and most of camp, that Streater and Holmes could be listed ahead of them week 1.  

     

    I expect that Holmes will be the guy who drops, but I think Streater is going to be hard to knock down, he's been very good again and I think he right now has earned starting spot IMO until someone like Zay or Coleman put more work in and earn the right to challenge for that spot.

    1-6 i agree with with the limited amount i jabe seen but i do not see any version of this where foster makes team- he might be PS but i would be shocked if he makes 53

    Cuba has quite a number good kickers and better literacy rate than colleges in Alabama so more likely there.

    Unfortunately North Cuba (Florida) cannot say the same.

     

    This comment makes no sense to anyone aware of what has happened over the past 25 years- florida schools( both high school and colleges) are scoring higher than new york in almost every important metric. Also anyone who deals with cubans knows that the literacy rate is a lie. Having 95 % of the people with a second grade literacy is not impressive. Lastly before i am accused of racism it is not the people but the government.

    is a pretty funny read since Ramsey will little effect on Allen but one line stuck out to me as beyond stupid:

     

    "He's not on my team," Allen responded, according to WGR 550's Sal Capaccio. "He's not my teammate. It doesn't bother me."

    Oh, it bothers him, all right.

     

     

    What indication does he have that Allen cares? because the writer know nothing about football and runs off meaningless stats without context.

    Ah yes, the infamous Testaverde QB sneak TD on the last play of regulation.  The refs seemingly called it a TD because the football logo on Testaverde's helmet crossed the goal line, but the actual football didn't get within two feet of it.  That was a disgrace.

    I can not remember the specifics but I thought at the time that those two games would cost us division.

    Can someone break it down for a youngin?

    Not only did the officials give a first down where clearly it was not warranted, they called a hail mary pass interference where there was more contact from patriots* than Bills. that game coupled with the Jets being given a win a week or so later against seattle I think forced the NFL to bring back replay.

  8. This game is not when I started to hate the patriots*-this is the day I realized that some teams just do not rate effort from officials. I watched at my Brother in Laws house-before I was married to his sister- and I was screaming like never before.  Those officials were awful down the stretch and appeared to not even be aware of the rules. The day I hated the patriots* was a complete 180 from the previous week. When I found out that they were cheating in such a huge manner in spygate I hated them. I generally appreciate greatness even against me.( Love Montana, Favre, Marino, Mannings)

    People from out of town LOVE it. It shows passion and personality.

     

    I question the true motives of those that want to end it. How many of those that want to end this form of tailgating secretly want an excuse to build a stadium downtown? Don't think it's possible that a PR push is being paid for when billions of dollars are involved? Didn't Trump admit to starting the Bon Jovi rumor?

    I think you can be embarassed and not want it to end but simply stop the immature stunts. I prefer Bills mafia to the Eagle fans of the 700 level or the Jets fan in the nosebleeds by a long shot. Basically a small improvement and I will be happy. Other point is that I started in Buffalo and now am out of Buffalo but I am readily identified as a Bills fan and I get asked often about the tables and other such antics by other sport fans.

  10. I find the passion about this topic both refreshing and sad that we are fighting over something so minimal:

    1) I love the old stadium with many great memories and hope that when they build to new stadium that they try to recreate the bowl areas, great sight lines and a good family feel.

    2) I believe the next stadium is downtown and it will end up being a good thing but something that will take time to get use to.

    3) I am not sure where the money is going to come from for the luxury boxes but if it is possible to get that money the Bills should get it.

    4) Lastly the Pegulas are not stupid and know what the market will bear as far as cost so I highly doubt they will start jacking up ticket prices by huge amounts. 

     

    I hope the Bills do what is best for all the fans overall and that the tailgating does not disappear but maybe changes where I have to explain that I am not Bills Mafia.
