  1. It's a way to pair up two culturally similar cities like Jacksonville and London in a joint love of a football tea. I believe Paris and Cleveland, and Tokyo and Indianapolis are also in the works. Seriously though I think it's less stupid than it is greedy.
  2. True. The planning in advance can actually be to take a burden off those remaining who are in grief and don't need yet another stressful decision to make and execute after their loved one is gone.
  3. In hindsight, of course. In the moment there is some benefit to kicking on 3rd down in case the snap is off and needs to be covered and then kick on 4th down. The question is whether a bad snap or a kick-off returned for a TD is more likely.
  4. If the regime lasts 3 years or less then they failed anyway, due to some combination of factors. If you are aiming for long term success I think it applies. A recent article in Sports Illustrated on the Seahawks was illuminating. The premise of the article was that they built a very strong culture (based on competition and accountability) that had success and was primed for continued success, but they deviated from it and corrupted it, at least in part leading to their downfall. But yeah, for the three ring circus we're used to in Buffalo it's a foreign concept for sure. Have to go back to the Levy/Polian era for a strong winning culture that lasted many years.
  5. We have a saying at work. It applies to the long run...i.e. over many years, not week to week. That is that Culture eats Strategy for breakfast. In the long run this is true. Strategies change week to week and year to year. A strong (or deficient) culture will be a more defining trait of success or failure in the long run.
  6. Need to add the Tyrod cadence on WGR to the list with the baggage retrieval system at Heathrow. I'm worried.
  7. Yeah but those few weeks made all the difference in Wentz's career.
  8. True Nope, it was due to Fergy: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/23/the-story-behind-the-bills-red-helmets/
  9. You can editorialize all you want, I am merely pointing out facts you happen to find inconvenient to your rant.
  10. My guess is that the OP is not a Bills fan at all. It's someone with a vested interest in stirring up discussions to keep Kaepernick relevant. Could be ideologically motivated, could be from Nike. No way to know for sure, but I suspect anyone taking this post seriously is being played. Evidence? The guy joins and starts a topic and comments on others solely related to Kap. Real "billsblood" there...not.
  11. Ahhhhm gotcha. I lost interest in reading it, frankly.
  12. People who knew McVeigh in High School (whom I know well) tell me that he fundamentally changed after serving in the military. I tend to think his experiences there, you know, killing people and trying not to get killed, may have influenced his psyche more than the Bills.
  13. If we can guess these things from available information, safe to say the Vegas lines have already included it as well.
  14. Only post Super Bowl years though I believe. And the economy sucked in WNY at the time (I mean more than usual)
  15. Hold on a minute...are you saying not everything on the internet is accurate?
  16. There are always going to be immature drunk people injuring themselves. So long as they don't get behind the wheel after that, and can pay for the medical care they later require, I don't care what they do.
  17. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Allen_(quarterback) California. He went to college in Wyoming.
  18. Having lived with a partially torn ACL for several years (before completely tearing it away) I would just comment that so long as what remains is structurally holding things in place, it doesn't really affect you. Also, some people can live normal, active lives (like downhill skiing active) with no ACL anymore, just because of how they are built. So I don't really know what to make of the 85% torn claim as it relates to what his performance would have otherwise been if not torn at all. It strikes me that it might not have been any different.
  19. Vinnie Barbarino played by John Travolta! Good memories...
  20. All the families of the babies and children who's lives were saved as a result of Hunter's Hope beg to differ with you.
