That describes about 85 percent of the population of the world now. Everyone’s angry about this or that and it’s always someone else’s fault. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Then again, we’re on a message board where discussion of COVID gets deleted / locked / you on time-out. And I’m not criticizing the board rules, just saying. Would that TBD policy extended to the stadium and people could just enjoy the blasted game.

RIP, Cindy #89. 🥺 Remember back since the early versions of TBD, she was one of the posters who made it the community it was and now is.

Media has confirmed that the electricity went out at the stadium. Cause was reportedly a car accident. How many times has this happened in recent years and has it happened with such frequency anywhere else?

While we don’t exactly know what caused the “technical difficulties” / broadcast failure today (to go with a number of such failures in recent years — Mylar balloon anyone?) is it safe to say that aged infrastructure probably has something to do with it? You just don’t see this stuff happening anywhere else with such frequency. The other point today is making is that these kind of games suck for the fans and don’t help the team in a league that is more and more built for the pass. And it reduces the risks of slips as may have contributed to Milano’s hamstring injury. The Buffalo weather takes a beating on structures , if you haven’t seen the condition of even the 8-year-old refurbishments; EIGHT YEAR OLD concrete is literally eroding and they don’t want any part of protecting new construction from the elements? Having a retractable roof on a new stadium isn’t a completely obscene expenditure. It’s pouring 🌧 there almost all game. And the beauty of retractable is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be closed for weather games. I just fail to see how this is a contentious issue.

Rams and Colts won a SB in a domed home stadium. For the life of me, I don’t know what’s wrong with going with a retractable roof and having the option to control the elements or to leave it open. Lucas Oil Stadium is retractable, was built for a song comparatively in the NFL, and by every account has beautiful sight lines and is a popular stadium (NFL Draft has been there for a long time).

It bounced off a white helmet.

The difference is materials and labor costs — 100% union will be mandated in anything NYS puts a dime into, and companies will / have to bid higher to cover the far higher taxes. You’re expecting them to just eat the tax differences? Everything is at a premium in NYS and the northeast. Not to mention that there’s always a certain level of graft / kickbacks factored into big projects like this in the area. That’s just the reality.

Seems like that will be coming next season, when they announced the one-shell rule will end after this year.

White socks, again. Not a fan of this trend.

Why did the clock start back up after Waddle ran OOB?

If the kid wants to be Josh, he’s gotta swing his arms before a pass play 95% of the time. And then on every run, no arm swings. Has anybody mentioned this tell?

The Washington game in week 3 for sure is gonna be tough. If Rivera doesn’t stay with Heinicke…. This kid showed a lot in the wild card vs Tampa last season and has looked just as good tonight.

What the 🤬 we gotta do today to get a flag?

😡

Ben is just throwing friggin rainbows out there….

How do we not take the figgie try there?

I really have to wonder whether having Jerry Hughes on this team is worth it. After the incident with a ref calling him a “b-word” on the field and then Jerry aggressively confronting him in the tunnel, the refs absolutely HATE him and routinely ignore *blatant* holds and have been quick to throw unsportsmanlike 15-yarders against him. Given the investment in the DE spot, I have to wonder whether he’s helping anything being out there. For sure, it’ll be time to move on from him after his contract is up after this season.

Jerry was getting mugged right there. But the refs & the ref Union HATES him so no call.

They weren’t calling that at ALL last year and now it’s an area of emphasis?

That was 4th&2, CBS graphic be darned. Not wise.

That is a chubby, squat punter for Pitt. Just saying.

Hey, they wanna get their faces on teevee, too yaknow….

So they’re calling holding this year, I gather?

Wow!

Wow. I’m not a crier and not a crier for the National Anthem, but man that was 😭.
