Postgame Thread: Bills at Titans
schoolhouserock replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hot take: Edmunds is tearing himself down. it looked like Josh was having a real hard time lifting Edmunds up at the end of that game. Edmunds is not playing up to his own standards. Self awareness is great so long as it aids the process of getting better. -

Looks to me like he has got a limp. Sit him and let him heal. -
Postgame Thread Bills vs Rams
schoolhouserock replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I didn’t agree with the call that gave the Bills’ a first down. If I were a Rams fan, I’d be very unhappy. However, we have seen the Bills on the opposite side of that equation too many times in the past ~25 or so years. The Bills put themselves in a position to benefit from the questionable call. Awesome. GO BILLS! -
CBS All Access / VPN experiment failed
schoolhouserock replied to Ra-cha-cha's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I spent some time on this today because I usually go to a bar to watch the Bills games (I am out of market) and I had planned to use a VPN + CBS All access in order to watch the games. For a short while, I thought this was impossible, but I think I may have found a workable solution. I hope this works and I hope this helps another bar-bound fan to be able to watch the games at home this season. In short, I have been able to watch the live CBS feed from Buffalo this evening. I watched a bit of Big Brother for the first time in years. Here is what I had to do: 1) I signed up for a pay-for-VPN. I went with NordVPN. 2) I chose a Buffalo-area location from the VPN’s list. 3) I had to try multiple internet browsers. I found that there were two competing obstacles working against each other: competing obstacle #1: Not all web browsers “geolocate” in the same way. I found that, at least with NordVPN, Chrome and Firefox did not do a good job of geolocating on the Buffalo IP address. (These browsers must use a different method.) I found that Microsoft Edge does do a good job of geolocating on the Buffalo IP address. competing obstacle #2: CBS All Access live streaming performance changed dramatically based on web browser. It was by far the worst on Edge, better on Chrome, and best on Firefox. (NOTE: I run Windows 10 and I updated all three web browsers before this exercise.) So, I basically could not get video on Edge, but at least the video was from Buffalo. I could get video on chrome and Firefox, but the geolocation was so poor that I ended up getting feeds that were outside of the Buffalo market!!! I found a workaround however... 4) In Firefox (the browser that seemed to work best with CBS All Access), I downloaded an add-on called “Change Geolocation” by “ilGur”. With this add on, I was able to input a latitude and longitude for the city of Buffalo. Now the geolocation was spot on! (NOTE: the add-on will make a little green icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen - next to the favorites icon - and right clicking here will get you to the lat and long menu.) 5) I closed and reopened Firefox then I reset my Firefox cache and cookies. Logged back into CBS and boom! I had the buffalo feed! My IP says Buffalo... my browser’s geolocation says Buffalo... and CBS’ live stream works with the browser. My fingers are crossed... PLEASE let this work on Sunday! -
Game Pass Film Session: Tre White
schoolhouserock replied to Stank_Nasty's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for posting! -
Hmmm... my gut reaction is that this incentivizes opting out. However, a player that does not opt out, but has the season cancelled on him, is one year closer to a new contract and without the miles of an additional NFL season. Could that be incentive enough for, say, someone like Tre to move forward without opting out?

Rd 5, Pick 167: QB Jake Fromm, Georgia
schoolhouserock replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Saves a few $ at QB2. Hope to only see him in Q4 of blowout W’s. -
RD 2, Pick 54: DE AJ Epenesa, University of Iowa
schoolhouserock replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On one hand, we have multiple seasons of double digit sacks, lots of other production (plenty of TFLs and a good number of forced fumbles and batted balls), evidence that he can beat first round-level offensive tackles, and credible sources attesting to high character. On the other hand we have a bad 40 time. I get that a Chris Kelsay-level projection would cause consternation. (even though he did have like a 10 year career, right?) I think Epenesa is going to be a productive player for the Bills - just like he was a productive player in college. Therefore I’m loving it. -
RD 3, Pick 86: RB Zach Moss, University of Utah
schoolhouserock replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like Moss’ tape in the Red zone. Hope that means more TDs and fewer FGs. -
RD 2, Pick 54: DE AJ Epenesa, University of Iowa
schoolhouserock replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Love the pick. Back-to-back double-digit sack seasons and lots of TFL, too. High character guy. Great football player. His poor combine is the Bills’ gain. -
Way to go, Nate! The guy could make a great coach one day.

Mike Clay 2020 team projections: Bills

This looks like it is model-based to me. (Computer-simulated) Would be cool to see what’s under the hood. -
Diggs vs the WR field in the draft
schoolhouserock replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
With every delay to offseason training, the Diggs trade becomes more and more favorable against having drafted a rookie WR in round 1. -
Bills re-sign Jason Croom to 1-year deal

ummm... I’m pretty sure we were told that they want to start “signing their own”... -

Playoff #1 Bills @ Texans PostGame Thread
schoolhouserock replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At the beginning of the 2nd half... I understand that the ultimate ruling was “in the spirit of the game”, but by the rules of the game, was that not a fumble-TD? That’s something that needs to be addressed by the NFL and officials - it was so awkward.
