It's such a strange position that the Buffalo Bills PR finds themselves in. You wonder if there will be even a mention of his passing on the official website. My guess is no. His name looms up there on the wall as I suppose it would just create even more attention if they were to take it down. You wonder if the wall will be created at the new stadium and this closes the chapter on any chance of the Juice being officially referenced any longer.

Its Pretty Obvious why the Chiefs win every year

Taron Johnson is better at his position than at least half those guys. Was he an oversight or an intentional omission? -
Allen was legendary (even better than 13 seconds Allen)

I find it so hard to put into words how I feel about Josh. He is simply the best thing that has ever happened to this franchise. At the same time, if I'm being objective, Mahomes is the better quarterback. How do you argue with the body of work at this point? Yet if you ask me if I do a straight up quarterback swap with the Chiefs, I'd say no way. I want the bills to win the Lombardi but I want it to be with Josh! -
A friend of mine is a huge Boise State fan and while he's not an NFL fan, he never misses a chance to recap Shakir's performance from the prior Bill's game. He told me that Shakir was an absolute swiss army knife in college and they would put the ball in his hands however possible, not only on kick returns but in the run game as well. Looking at his college stats, sure enough he did get about 20 carries per year and averaged 6ypc. I wonder if some of these jet sweep type plays that Lil' Dirty used to run for us, which have been largely ineffective with Harty, could be utilized with Shakir?

Watching all the talking head shows...

I don't understand the assessment of Josh being "off" on Sunday. Granted, I was cursing him out after that second interception in the endzone but to me, this was the most consistent and impressive aerial attack since the Philly game. It simply passed the eye test. I recall very few balls, other than those 2 picks and maybe the deep shot miss to Diggs, where Josh wasn't spot on with his ball placement and decision making. Don't get me wrong, without the herculean effort from McDermott's defense, we don't win this game, but I would not say we won "in spite" of Josh. Didn't you all feel like on balance the passing offense was clicking? That to me, is the biggest reason for optimism going into the tournament! -
Is there a week 14 version of this?

TNF. Sorry, is CHI/WSH worth a thread?

Cool Diggs commercial! -
Allen crushes Mahomes in first round of amateur golf tourny
butch rolle replied to Captain_Quint's topic in The Stadium Wall
Easy answer here - the average viewer wants to see Steph Curry, Justin Timberlake, etc. No question that Kyle is a gamer and probably the most talented golfer of the ex-footballers. But we are several years removed from his retirement and his name recognition/celebrity just isn't there at this point. Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to watch the big man out there schooling everyone in the short game. He's one of my top 5 all time Bills and still my go to jersey for game day! -
Wrong movie! I think this was Robocop, right? Both classics but Robocop was an all time fave for me as a kid.

Greatest Individual Season in Buffalo History
butch rolle replied to Mango's topic in The Stadium Wall
When it comes to comparing seasons across sports and positions, I think that subconsciously, fans lean towards offense. That's what makes Hasek's inclusion all of the more impressive. His level of dominance during this era simply cannot be understated. "The Dominator" winning the Hart in 97 was akin to Lawrence Taylor winning the NFL league MVP as a linebacker in 86'. It had been almost 40 years since a goalie won the Hart. Then Hasek won the damn thing again in 98! Another somewhat forgotten accomplishment that punctuated his dominant tenure in Buffalo - the 1998 Olympics in Nagano. He put the Czech Republic on his back, leading the massive underdogs to gold. I have vivid memories of being away at college in Boston and calling for my dorm buddies to huddle around the TV to watch him in the shootout against the heavily favored Canadian team. He absolutely stoned a murderers row of goal scorers. This video is in Czech, but I think it makes it all the more fun to watch as you hear their national pride and excitement. When this game was over it almost seemed like his shutout performance against Russia in the Gold Medal finals was a footnote. Simply remarkable. -
Josh is out there with Mitchell. They just aren't showing the amateurs in the early coverage. I watched him on the ESPN+ app, featured hole 7. He birdied the signature ocean hole 7 in the practice round. 30mph gust today. Just watched him double bogey the same hole. They showed his stock yardages and we're gushing about it. He goes driver 315 yards, 3 wood 285, 5 iron 220, 7 iron 190. I forget the rest
