  1. Nope. Never lived in the area, or even the state. Grew up in Northern Virginia, then moved to Dallas when I was 16. Lived in Texas the past 15 years, but a Buffalonian at heart
  2. Poor guy..... I really hope the rest of his life is fulfilling, because football has done him dirty.
  3. Nah. Red Helmet, red jersey, red pants, red socks, red cleats. If we can't beat em, overload them with color & blind the cameras. It'll make it so fans won't know for sure the passes were incomplete, or that we got stuffed behind the line. It gives us hope!
  4. Is that convention center massive or something? I've never known convention centers to hold more than 15-20k people at best. How is that any help to the Bills? I guess I'm missing something
  5. Even if we were 0-16, other butthurt, overdramatic fans in bigger markets will always vote their team as the worst.
  6. I like where your mind is at! Throw in a Logan Thomas + Terrelle Pryor wrinkle, and how will anyone ever know which threat to defend!?
  7. We're really playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers. McDermott & Co. next-leveling the s*** out of these coaches! Last week it was WC & flea flickers, this week it's left footed punters. Maybe next week we'll put Shady out at Center, snapping to Ivory.
  8. He's right. Nearly every year since he was fired I've written him letters to be the HC of my Madden team. For the life of me I can't play beyond the "Pro" difficulty. I figured with the wealth of knowledge Gregg has at his disposal, he could at least get me to "All Pro," so I can stop getting rekt online.
  9. Anquan Boldin & Percy Harvin retired just to get away from us. Unless we draft them or scrape them up off the streets, it's unlikely we'll get anyone decent. That's why you gotta give TO credit. Nearing the end of his career, he not only played out an entire season here with our poor QB's, he managed to be our receiving leader that year too.
  10. Yeah, I made the mistake of going to a Bills home game against the Pats once too. For a while there, I thought I lucked into the greatest experience ever...as the Bills were up 28 to 3 (or close to that) at half time. I remember my fiancee & I were going crazy with the fans in the seats, thinking holy s***, the Bills are actually going to beat Brady and I'm here!!!!!! Little did I know they would go on to score something like 40 unanswered points to open the second the half........How in the hell we allowed them to not only come back, but to blow us out after being up that much still blows my mind. I wish the ***** guy was there that day, as I would've taken that ***** & broke it off up Brady's ***.
  11. To be fair, except for one series of plays in the 2nd half, the refs were pretty lenient & didn't flag the Bills anywhere close to what we're used to seeing. Still angry by the Benjamin call, but I get it's technically the rule. Doesn't sting as much since he made up for it with that big catch, but still.... And didn't Edelman get flagged for this call? I'm probably wrong, but either way I thought the game was pretty evenly called.
  12. Haha I was just editing my comment as you responded. Yeah, I just read up on it again and realized that. It's really some BS the way they were pretty much bullied to leave Buffalo even though the team was doing well financially.
  13. That sounds great, really would love to have experienced the atmosphere of an NBA game in Buffalo. I imagine a team there now would have a similar level of support that fans of the Spurs or Jazz give their respective teams. I thought the owner of the Braves traded teams with the Celtics owner, then moved the team to San Diego/LA? At least that's what I remember reading from Wikipedia. Never heard of Darien Lake though, but after googling it, surprised to see it's still around! Edit: Nvm, just read up a bit on it. Can't believe that even though the team was profitable, maintaining the league average in ticket sales & attendance, and getting good ratings on TV, outside politics pretty much forced the team to leave. Of course, other expansion teams that came around during that time still hung around, but Buffalo got the crap end of the stick
  14. I paused the TV & went back to that seconds after I saw it. I just asked my wife "did that guy just type that out moments before the game knowing he'd be on TV?!" Out of all things he could've put, with basic font, text and on just a piece of printer paper with landscape orientation? I really wish I knew WTH he was thinking. Sean Penn...really? Really let politics affect you that much? I'm guessing your political views inspired that comment too?
  15. Since I'm half convinced it's my bad luck that drags the Bills down, I'd move on to becoming a Patriots fan to ensure they never win another Super Bowl, or even a playoff game, ever again. Still so hard to imagine Buffalo having 3 major pro sports teams, especially an NBA team. Did the city just not care about NBA at the time? Even though the city is much smaller now, there's no way I could see the current population not being supportive of a team if they still had one.
  16. For the first time in my life, I want a Bills QB to do well not for the Bills as a team, but for them as a human being. Peterman already has had to deal with so much, just for failing at a game, that any more failure could ruin the guy's head permanently. He probably didn't expect his life to take this turn when he was at Pitt playing football, dreaming of improving his life & getting drafted to an NFL team. Now his life his the butt of jokes, and his name is synonymous with interceptions. Hope it goes well for him, if even just this one last time.
  17. Bush? Are they relevant to Buffalo somehow? I haven't heard that song for ages...
  18. He can still retire as a Bill after having a chance to play for a good team for once. The fact that he spent his career in Buffalo on non-contender teams virtually ensures he won't ever get in the HOF, so might as well chase a ring while you still have a chance.
  19. Feels like we're comfortable spinning the tires, putting in no effort picking up any random warm body off the streets, all while our defense tries their best to keep us in games for nothing. I'm not even mad anymore, just sad for those guys. Even if the season is already lost, having them play like that each week only to watch as the offense craps away all their hard work is deflating.
  20. Should we still not even attempt to look into someone promising like Bridgewater? Does everyone else feel fine watching our defense play their hearts out for nothing week after week? If only we had a semi capable QB who could move the ball...
  21. This was pretty amusing. My wife was already commenting about all the goofy graphics & animations they had, then when that popped up she just goes "WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF?!" They all should've been going down the falls though...they've been pretty awful.
  22. I have a question about Colorado State Laws, as it seems quite different from Texas. I work in corrections at the county jail here, and I'm pretty familiar with our laws. What the heck is a "class 5 felony," though? In Texas it breaks down like this: *Trespassing is a Class C Misdemeanor *Criminal Trespassing is a Class B Misdemeanor *Criminal Trespassing of a Habit/Shelter is a Class A Misdemeanor *Criminal Trespassing with a Deadly Weapon is a Class A Misdemeanor All misdemeanors here, no felonies. We don't even have "class 5 felonies," here. From weakest/lowest offense: Class C Misdemeanor (like a traffic warrant, public intoxication, theft of $50 or less, etc.) Class B Misdemeanor Class A Misdemeanor State Jail Felony (not quite bad enough to be a true felony, but not quite small enough to be a misdemeanor) Class 3 Felony Class 2 Felony Class 1 Felony So would a "class 5 Felony" be equivalent to our Class A Misdemeanor? If so, just using the word "felony" in it makes it sound MUCH more serious.
  23. Yeeaaah.... I don't think your take turned out so well. And the exact opposite happened. The more that came out, the worse it got for Kelly, until he was released from the Broncos.
  24. People on social media can't "convict" or "prosecute" anyone moron. Such a lame, overly dramatic complaint that gets thrown out time & time again. "Court of public opinion" blah blah. The public can have an opinion. The public can discuss it. Don't like it? Move to another country. Here's the thing though, the public has no legal baring on Chad Kelly getting himself arrested, nor can they enforce any punishment on him. So saying "social media legal system," as if that actually means something is beyond idiotic. Social media exists, yes. People can discuss news on said social media, yes. If that gets you bent out of shape, maybe you should move to North Korea or Iran.
