  1. They don't disclose what they consider "obtained legally" to mean. They also parrot the popular misconception that it's easy to obtain guns through the mythical "gun show loophole". Private sales can happen depending on the state, but people aren't selling their private collection pieces to gang bangers from the big cities. I've seen "obtained legally" counted as meaning ORIGINALLY obtained legally, as in purchased new from a dealer and not smuggled into the country directly to the black market. This means guns that were stolen from a legal owner, then get used by whatever gang member does a shooting gets counted as a "legally obtained" gun. They also count when someone passes a background check they shouldn't have, because screwy policing led to stuff not getting properly logged into their permanent records.
  2. Coaching didn't make us be missing half our defensive starters for any given game. Coaching did hurt a little playing man coverage 10 yards deep on 3rd and 4 against the Bengals, but he's gone now.
  3. That's a pretty MAJOR and valid reason.
  4. As my alcoholic dad liked to say, it's always 27:45 somewhere.
  5. Dude, Josh collects records like Pokémon cards. Shall we book a weekend in the conference room to go over the list? He also already has more gear being displayed in the HoF than most people already in the HoF.
  6. People who are determined to be miserable will find any and all reasons to be miserable. I bet you're the guy all the coffee shop workers roll their eyes about when they see you walk in.
  7. Complaining about strong opponents is a quintessential "get good" moment. Top teams already get pitted against each other in the current scheduling algorithm, that's about as fair as it can get.
  8. It's wild you care so much to be embarrassed about a catchy bassy song that's easy to chant along with. Why does it need to have relevance to Buffalo? It's background noise.
  9. Ah, it's good ole "random thought thread" day. I thought I had it marked on my calendar...
  10. Lol are you kidding, Olympic villages (the "camps" the athletes stay in during the games) are the most debauched and hedonistic places this side of Caligula's birthday party. You sound like you'd be a nightmare manager to work under, because people are HUMAN and the stoic 100% of the time serious professional thing is NOT what most people function best with. You're exhibiting confirmation bias by citing the 2 QBs you believe lived that lifestyle (while hilariously getting the Olympic athletes wrong) and ignoring everyone who didn't. Counting the hits and ignoring the misses as they say.
  11. This was an automated ban the instant I posted it. I wasn't even given that warning alert that "what you're about to post may be bad yadda yadda". Worst part is when you try to appeal and explain the context, they only give you enough room to type like one small sentence.
  12. I'm glad embeds work because I'm waiting for my "violent speech" ban appeal on Twitter to go through lol. I was responding to people saying Josh leaning back a bit was proof of a fake slide, so I said "Do me a favor for science. Run full speed towards a brick wall and then try to suddenly stop or cut 90 degrees along the wall without leaning. Report back to me how many teeth you lose." Of course I'm not literally saying to run head first into a brick wall (my point is that you will naturally lean to stop), but their automated system took it as a threat or whatever lol.
  13. I believe the Music City Miracle was a legal lateral. I believe the second fumble in this game was out of bounds by touching his helmet. I have no problem calling out dirty hits by Bills players or bad ref calls that favored us. That was nothing close to being a fake slide, nevermind a blatant one.
  14. About the flopping, it's important to point out Allen only embellishes ACTUALLY ILLEGAL hits. He's not out there flopping if you look at him the wrong way. I see it like sure it's possible to depend on the police happening to notice that my store was robbed and do something about it, or I can call the police and bring it to their attention.
  15. Yeah I was going to say the QB is ruled down the instant he start his slide so it doesn't matter. And if the defender supposedly started his hit/left his feet "long before Allen slides", I have to point out that he would have been targeting Allen's knees. You should NEVER need to leave your feet to make a tackle anyways, it's just bad form. You lose any ability to let up or protect yourself/others once you go airborne.
  16. Take the couple weeks off, get right for the playoffs. That's what we signed you for.
  17. They are abusing a misinterpretation of the "repositioning" loophole. Supposedly, as long as the snap gets off before that rear foot lands down, you can't prove they weren't legally repositioning. Which is ridiculous because anyone with working eyes can tell that they aren't repositioning when they do that but they get the egregious benefit of the doubt.
  18. Cowgirls: "Haha, Parsons will take Allen down, and Bland will pick him off! You won't be able to pass on us!" Brady: "Your terms are acceptable." Cowgirls: "...what do you mean by that?" Brady: "..." Cowgirls: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!?"
  19. The problem is defenders always wanting the big HIT. Not tackle, not down by mere contact, they want the big punishing HIT. With the receiver diving like that, he's already going to the ground so all a big hit accomplishes is an attempt to jar the ball loose. Problem is a pass breakup by decapitation is easier than actually having to make a more skillful, less career shortening and less highlight reel making play.
  20. I used to hate the embellishments until I made that realization. There are few things in football that I hate more than late/unnecessary hits, like drilling a guy on the ground when even minimal contact with a pinky finger would count for the tackle. Pass rushers LOVE to push the envelope and test how late they can hit the QB after the ball is gone even it it's just a push, if only to "get in their head". Josh is just calling attention to late hits from boundary-testers, to get in their heads instead. Make them afraid of getting a technically valid (if "ticky-tack") penalty and maybe they'll stop going for those late hits or even subconsciously let up when going for a legal one.
  21. No, even if we win out and they lose out (to go into week 18 with 1 more win than them), week 18 is still for the division title due to tiebreakers. Because of their current lead, nothing that happens between now and week 18 secures the division title for us without playing week 18.
  22. Even Cleveland would have released a punter with those allegations. He wouldn't go back to the team that went out of their way to draft him, and tried to hold off on releasing him to wait for details to come out? The team got dragged through the mud for not cutting him sooner, so I think he'd understand and appreciate that the team resisted letting him go.
  23. My own curse was lifted too. I bought a nice zubaz shirt at the Bengals playoff game, and the Bills have lost literally every game when I've worn that shirt. Until last night.
