    That's a good point. All Aiken had to was get in the path of the defender (he could have literally just stood there), no reason to engage.  Couple this with the poor traction, there is no way any DB can recover. Very poor execution.

     

     

    Hmm, I thought this was instituted starting in 2018.  I was under the impression this game was a driving force behind it.  Maybe they redefined the rule in 2018? 

     

     

    "The snow-clearing policies are in the game day operations manual, since it largely applied to grounds crews. (It also includes when and where they do authorized line clearing.) Since the provision wasn’t in the rule book, Allen had to warn the sideline before assessing any penalties. Now, if non-player personnel attempt to clear snow off the field on a kick play, a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty will be enforced without any warnings, which is the only practical difference between 2017 and 2018."

     

    Yup, you're correct. Which is dumb because you could clear a spot and just receive a warning which makes it worth it. 

  2. Eh, hes had one season where he has averaged over 4.0 ypc. He also seems to be injured often. Out of 64 possible games he has started 52, that's  81% and that's not accounting for the games he started but left early or limited carries because he was nursing an injury. The chargers will stand their ground as they should.

    Thats an old voice message.  From what I can gather....think that plan were well in motion to hire Russ at New Era Cap.  Tim found out about it about before New Era broached the subject with the Pegula’s or the press and it was reported in the BN.  New Era denied that he was working there, which likely was in response to the Bills not approving, so they parted ways.

     

    It seems like Tim plays the VM to almost mock New Era for denying they were hiring him, when he had a voicemail.

     

    Just me reading the tea leaves....

     

     

     

     

    Bingo.

    When Diaz comes in the game is over all right 

     

    He’s just straight garbage. The best part is that Brodie won’t speak to the media. That’s part of being a GM in NY, that used car salesman’s had no problem throwing around his bravado during the offseason.

  5. It’d be cool if they modeled it after Lucas Oil stadium. I have this argument with my friends all the time. I spend a majority of the winter in the elements(November through January) due to deer hunting, and when I’m making the trip to buffalo to watch a game it’d be nice not to have to dress like I’m going hunting. I mean, Atlanta has a retractable roof and that’s pretty sweet as well.

    I try to be realistic. 

     

    I mean, the uniforms suck, the team rarely wins, and the food in the stadium is pretty bad.  Even the name is stupid.  Buffalo Bills?   Buffalo Bill didn't have anything to do with Buffalo.  And the logo is just as bad - those are bison, not buffalo, and there weren't any bison in Buffalo.  The whole thing is stupid if you ask me. 

     

    The quarterback was awful last season and hasn't shown me a thing yet this season.  EJ manual and JP Losman were exactly the same story.

     

    The running backs are ridiculous.  I mean, why not sign Franco Harris and Crazy Legs Hirsch (or is he dead?)?  The Bills have no pass receivers who have led the league in either (1) receptions, (2) yards, (3) TDs or (4) sideline shouting matches with coaches and quarterbacks.  On defense, no one compares with Bruce Smith, Cornelius Bennett or Butch Byrd.  

     

    The whole thing is just pointless.  

     

    Like I said, I'm just being realistic.   I can't deal with the knee-jerk negativity we see around here some of the time.   And the optimists?   What's with THOSE people?

     

     

    I see what you did there, good show. 

  7. I was at the game last night. We left after the rally in the 8th because I don't think I would've survived watching another blown save live.

    Not trying to be funny but the local Dick's Sporting Goods had all Mets apparel 1/2 off.  

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm in my 30's and two seasons come to mind that rival this:

     

    End of 2004- The veterans on that club pretty much all gave up on Art Howe.  The inmates were running the asylum then.  It got leaked Howe was being fired before the season was ending.  I had to listen to him breakdown on the Mike & Maddog show and hang up.  That was rough.

     

    2009-  A seriously injury plagued and underachieving year.  Had to endure a Phillies/Yankees World Series as well.  I'm sort of the rare Mets fan that really has nothing against Philly but what made it worse that year was Pedro Martinez joining their club in a pathetic attempt to get a ring.  

     

    What makes this SCARIER though is VW is under a 4 year contract.  At least per Mike Francesa.  God knows what more damage he can create.  

    Yeah, I'm 33 and just because this one is so recent makes it the worst. I have friends(phillies and yankees fans) telling me I shouldn't be upset or so negative because they made the WS back in '15. They keep forgetting that we traded 2 top 50 MLB prospects to obtain Cano (4 more years of that corpse blocking McNeil from playing 2nd) and Diaz. The trade was really for Diaz but still we threw in Bruce, Swarzak, and Bautista as well. Swarzak is having a solid year with the Braves and would've helped tremendously right now. Bruce is showing that he can hit the long ball again. You don't trade for a closer if you're not going all in and committing to it. Plus, the failure to evaluate the talent on the roster IE McNeil and Alonso. 

     

    My on going issue with BVW is that there was options, better options to fill the holes on this roster yet he decided to acquire his former clients. Ottavino instead of Familia, McNeil rather than Cano, Kimbrel instead of Diaz, and that's without giving up any prospects in the process. Sigh, I just hate how they're out of it already and its not even July yet.

  9. This is probably the darkest of places I’ve been in as Mets fan since “06-08”, I was born in 85 unfortunately can’t even fall back on that squad.
