    Ha. No, although the owner does own a couple other wildly different LA bars around town, including (unless he sold them) Ye Olde King's Head, an aunthetic English pub and the classic Sagebrush Cantina in Calabassas.

    Sagebrush is awesome! I live in Woodland Hills and we go there often. Although Casa Vega is our favorite.

    I figured Busbys was probably the same crowd as Bobby Mcgees. I'm sure I would see some familiar faces. The footage from there after the Dalton TD looked insane!

  2. Back in the 90's one of the best places in LA used to be in Burbank at a place called Bobby McGees. It was owned by a couple from Buffalo. Place was Rockin!  of course the Bills were awesome at that time so that helped. They had a big dish and would pirate the main game feed. During commercial breaks you could sometimes hear the announcers talking to each other off air. Heard some pretty good stuff. Got to see OJ do a horrific rendition of the National Anthem while off air waiting to do a sideline report after the real Anthem. It was hilarious.  I went there every Sunday for years before Sunday Ticket became available.  I think that place is a BJ's now.  

    I have never been to Busby's. I hear its great, but it's in Santa Monica. Thats an hour drive for me and games are at 10am here.

    Every year I say I'm gonna make it there for a game but having Sunday Ticket for 22 years makes it too easy to roll out of bed at 9:45am and Bam, game is starting.

    1 - The Chargers don't finish the season with a winning record.

     

     

    I've been saying this for a while now.

    Last year was kinda flukey.

    just look at the QB's they faced.

    1 Mahomes (1st real start) LA lost

    2 Allen (rookie 1st start)

    3 Goff (LA lost)

    4 Beathard (WHO???)

    5 Carr

    6 Mayfield (rookie in 4TH? start)

    7 Marriota (LA won by 2 pts)

    8 Wilson (only quality win in my opinion)

    9 Carr

    10 Keenum (LA lost)

    11 Rosen (rookie on horrible team)

    12 Raper (amid the drama with Brown) LA won by 3

    13 Driskel (WHO???)

    14 Mahomes (LA won by 1 pt)

    15 Jackson (rookie) LA lost

    16 Keenum

     

    thats 8 games vs rookies(4) 1st year starter(2) unknown backups(2)

    and most of the rest filled with the likes of Carr and Keenum.

    couple that with 

    - They face a much tougher schedule this season vs Luck,  Stafford,  Watson,  Raper,  Trubisky, Rodgers, Foles and of course Mahomes X2.

    - Gordon's holdout shenanigans could be very damaging as well

    - They have virtually no home field advantage. I live in LA and it's a joke that they are even here.  and yes, I was at the Peterman game :(

    - Rivers is now 38 and a career choker in most any clutch situation. At his age,  I'll bet that only gets worse.

     

    I'm feeling they will be 7-9

    It appears that (Hobert) did not ever START a game for the Bills (According to pro football reference). Perhaps he only came in as a reserve. I only included QB's who started games.

    Oh thats right,  He came off the bench early in the game. Thats why he didn't study the game plan,  cause he said he didn't think he was gonna play anyway. What a tool!  He may not have started, but he was the worst I've seen in 46 years of watching the Bills.

    And I was at "The Peterman game" in person so that's saying something.

    Read the rule book. As much as I hated the play, Edelman didn't have "forward progress."

    I know the rule.  I merely stated that I don't like the rule. There is a difference between not understanding something, and not liking something.

    Except neither of those happened.  Forward progress stopping is announced when the ref blows the whistle.  And obviously he wasn't ruled down, because he wasn't downed by the defender.

     

    Move on.

     

    OK, whatever dude. I said his forward progress was stopped. I didn't say how it was announced. and unless you are stupid, You know exactly what I meant by being ruled down. There is no need to twist words and be a condescending jackass. All I posted was that I didn't like the way a rule is being enforced.  I am allowed to not like something. If you don't agree, then YOU move on. 

     

    btw Kelso was losing his mind over this as well. He's played in SB's. But I guess like me, He must be too dumb to understand the rules enough to be able to form an opinion on if one them is flawed.  

     

    But thanks to a couple experts here,  we all now know the truth. The rule is perfect, The Refs enforce it perfectly,  It's the Bills and their coaching that sucks.  And if you don't agree with that, you are an idiot.  Thanks guys! You've convinced me.

    Terrible thread nonetheless. Become a fan of Curling. 

    Well then stop reading and posting in it if its so terrible.  When normal people read something they think is terrible, they stop reading and move on. You have to be a special kind of strange to spend your Christmas morning posting in a thread on a message board that you think is terrible.

    Merry Christmas!

    Terrible thread. The officials got the call right. There's nothing to complain about with that TD. 

    Well technically they got the tuck rule call right by the rule on the books at the time. I suppose you agreed with that as well.

    Thanks for stopping by Mr. Goodell

    I guess feel free to share one of those 

    I did. You copied it right there in your post. I challenge you to sit on sombodys leg. Put both hands up around your chest. Pick up both feet off the ground and put your knees up higher than your butt. Now move forward.  Unless you are a student at Hogwarts, it aint happening.

    If Foster had not been ruled stoppped (forward progress) and a fumble was forced there would have been a riot here on TSW with complaining that his forward progress was stopped.  :lol:

    Thats probably true. Matter of fact that exact thing happened vs the Ravens a few years back in an important game for the Bills in overtime. Runner was picked up off the ground completely by several Ravens. Held him up off his feet completely stopped while other Ravens came over and ripped the ball free. Thats the issue though. People did complain that it was not blown dead when it should have been and allowed them to do something after the play should have been stopped. That is exactly what happened on the Edelman play. 

    Forward progress completely stopped. No whistle.  If you can’t understand this I don’t know what to tell you.

    As everyone has pointed out, what it means to be “down” isn’t arguable.  The OP , and obviously he’s not alone, doesn’t understand that.

     

    You down the guy or you play to the whistle.  Those two maxims are as old as the game. 

     

    It’s a bogus complaint all around

     

    It kinda is arguable. Was Foster down on the ground? Nope. But since his forward progress was stopped, he was ruled down. 

    Nobody yet has explained how Edelman sitting on his ass with his feet up in the air Should not be considered forward progress stopped. There is no way on earth for him to be moving forward with only his butt sitting on a leg.  Maybe he had some bad mexican food for lunch and had extreme gas that was propelling him?  Defending the Refs and their against all laws of physics interpretation of what forward motion means is the only bogus thing here.

    No, it's a stupid question.  Obviously, the rule is part of the objective standard over what it means to be "down".  If no part of the body other than hands and feet touch the ground a guy is not down.

     

    It amazing to me how people here b---h about the officiating yet want to make every damn rule in the book even MORE subjective.  :wallbash:

    So by these standards, any foreign object on the ground that keeps a player from touching, like somebodys leg, means they are not down? What if a player loses his towel and edelman lands on that instead. He still hasn’t touched the turf. He can get up and start running again? Sorry, not buying that this rule perfectly fine.

    That's just it. Edeleman was not down by contact since no part of his body touched the ground and his forward progress certainly wasn't stopped.  No down by contact and no whistle means the play isn't over. Another rule that's perfectly fine just the way it is. 

    His forward progress certainly wasn’t stopped?   Ha! Explain to me just how he was moving forward?  Hands and feet off the ground and sitting on his butt on a players9588518B-99A3-4296-B21B-2908F3612799.jpeg.0b6927382bdab62cad67862d36b8ea4f.jpeg leg. Defies laws of phyisics.

    The Refs disagree. We’ve all seen other plays like this. There’s a chance that the ball carrier can pop up and continue on. In Foster’s case they ruled an upright player’s forward progress stopped and one of them blew the whistle primarily to avoid one of the players from getting injured. 

    Football is played with a ball that has two pointy ends. It bounces funny. 

    Ha,  The Refs and I disagree on a lot of stuff!

    Like Hughes getting tackled from behind again today on more than one occasion with no call, but I guess if the Refs say that's not holding, it must not be.
