  1. i believe that was more on a formation gaffe than Bojo... https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/film-doesnt-lie-bills-showed-punt-block-confusion-earlier-season-patriots-capitalized i'm not disputing your statement entirely but in this scenario that dude was uncontested, not many punters would have gotten it off.
  2. look at the Solder statement above "and the health of our neighbors come before football" is that an omission? i'm in total agreement - unless you're going to totally bubble for 4 months you're not opting out with complete commitment to protecting yourself, your family. & your neighbors...
  3. so glad you said this Doc, not sure why everyone focuses on Ginn when Olsen had nearly 1,200 yards that year and the record was indicative of a bad division and soft conference, heck look at each games breakdown, one could argue the D dragged them to that record more than Cam. the year before the Panthers won that division @ 7-8, and the year after they were 6-10 (4th), that was hardly sustained dominance through Cam or the team. dont get me wrong, Cam is the quintessential athlete, his ability is far above most QB, he just lacks focus and that’s the key at the end of the day, focus and skill will drive the athlete greatness, in this case, I don’t put him in the greatness category, even if we look at that year alone. however, focus and skill can overcome the absence of athleticism, We have current examples of that today in the NFL.
  4. This. and if one of those FI's is worth a crap they will offer reporting that brings all 8 FI's data into a single view for the consumer.
  5. and what's wrong with that? sure there could be corruption but the managing of finances through electronic capabilities goes both ways, you can track the bad as well as the good. and BTW - it's not entirely the rules of the entity, there's regulation and yes, thats done by the government and if you don't trust the government, well that might be the crux of your opinion. Banks are too regulated NOT to trust them, and mistakes? easily corrected by technology, that is if the consumer is right and that's not always the case. Their adding machine tends to fail because of the operator behind it. i probably shouldn't wade into this pool as it appears i'm the only one but cashless would be my utopia, and not for political reasons, i simply don't do politics, i don't waste my time on things i can't control and i don't vote thus i don't complain nor absorb myself in it. I can confidently say i'm 90-95% cashless - the businesses that provide me regular services (landscaping, pool, Mosquito service, etc.) i pay the recurring charge via a electronic service and i've taught them all to accept tips (primarily christmas bonus) via PayPal or Zelle. the only reason i'm not 100% cashless is the inopportune tip or that I live in Miami, Florida and there are still businesses down here that ONLY accept cash and I do my best to avoid them but sometimes i can't. yesterday our sleep number was delivered and I had to use my emergency $50 bill (i carry 1 in my wallet and this one was there for well over a year and a half) and run to my neighbors to break it so i could tip the delivery guys. now my neighbor uses only cash but she's in her mid 70's and i've always wrote that off as an old person thing (although i turn 50 this year so i guess i'm old ) Pay cards are an excellent way to move electronic cash, they don't have the risk of an ATM (cant tell you the last time i used my ATM, i go American Express exclusively and have a Visa in the case the business doesn't accept AMEX) I don't understand why someone wouldn't want their finances well tracked (and we as individuals can't possible do it better then the services offered today), i don't understand "under the table need" and i don't understand the tinfoil hat wearing. yes, i do work for a large FI and not the banking side, i've been in technology my whole career and maybe that's what influences my desire, i've seen it from the inside and i invariably 'trust' it and i believe it's the best way to go. I respect everyone's opinion, i just thought it was interesting that when i came into this thread i thought i would see more people like me responding. heck - i might just be that guy you read about being arrested for slapping someone around for writing a check in the grocery line, if anything that should be abolished first, it's checks IMO.
  6. Beast isn't wrong so it may seem hypocritical for my answer to be "absolutely not" this is the only non-industry related site i belong to and even then i joined intending to stay on the football forum but seeing the innuendo in some posts i did drift over here. I've been in cyber/identity security for almost 2 decades and have deep roots in technology and now manage a number of very smart/efficient engineers just listening to their banter between meetings solidifies my reasoning for not belonging to FB (literally never have gone to a FB page), Reddit (although i will lurk there), instagram, etc. My wife has accounts but that's to keep eyes on our 4 grandchildren but i coach her carefully where to tread lightly. While i'm not sure i fully believe in cyberbullying, mainly because my opinion of the people behind the keyboard is so low it doesn't bother me, i do recognize there are some out there attempting to weaponize social media (enter a couple of examples on this forum) and i could see if someone allowed themselves to be enthralled (in what is Social Media) it could affect them to some degree and that goes for either side. so outside of this TSW and a few industry based forums i'm not on any mainstream SM and fine with it being that way.
  7. last home game i attended was Bills-Cowboys in 1984 when i was living in the area, was a day after my 14th birthday. i've been to 20+ away games since then, i have a rule that if the Bills are visiting within 500 miles of my current location i will make every attempt to attend. 4 years ago I moved to Miami so now i am a regular at that game, did PO game in Jax, if they ever go to TB that's a for sure and i considered Tenn last year and the Houston PO game but work got in the way. i would LOVE to go to a current Buff home game but i want to do it with someone i know- every year i try to get my Fins fan friend to go (even offer tix and hotel cost) and he just won't do it for many reasons
  8. working back-left to front to right it’s Austin, Riley & Cooper. Coop is the oldest @ almost 4 and the “pups’ are 2, We originally only wanted 2 but Austin was to be euthanized as he was a runt and has a defect (breeding is a business after all and he couldn’t be sold) so the breeder gave him to us, ironically he’s the most athletic and considered the alpha. they are a handful...
  9. Massive trolling, except the art of trolling is to be subtle and cunning in your delivery, his is just lazy and witless, not worth the time. although people are responding to him so he might actually be getting what he wants.
  10. how fluky do we call the first 2-3 games of every year? i consider that the teams figuring their identity out and the Saints just needed 1 point more to win, heck, the bengals lost to the Seahawks by 1 point week 1, how did that map out the rest of the year for both those teams? Texans beating up on the Pats* was a prime time to do so, plus, the Pats* don't know the Texans as well as they know the Bills regardless of how brilliant BB is, also add into the fact they were loose and not as uptight as the Bills are whenever they play the Pats, there's an AFCE mystique for the Bills when playing the Pats*. for me, this is more about the Defense as it is about Allen, 2019 'average' Allen can play this game and win, we need the 2019 'average' D to show up and i'm confident we'll walk away victorious.
  11. in a sense, with BB, i think it is. I strongly believe BB can plug in any average + talent @ QB and his system will take over the rest, just needs someone dedicated, above average intelligence and can make a few throws with timing. BB doesn't need a Brees, Rogers, Wilson, etc. for me it's the system BB has in place, and i think that's what scares Brady the most is if he leaves before BB someone else will come in and be just as successful and risk tarnishing his legacy in the perception of the public.
  12. they are turning on everything that got them there, it's like tigers eating their young. that's is a spoiled, entitled and unreasonable fanbase... If the Titans take care of business, they walk into there and beat them to death with a heavy dose of Henry.
  13. it wasn't a sack, they accepted a penalty, educate yourself or watch the game, one or the other
  14. except it wasn't a sack - quick to b*tch? ease off the trigger, you'll enjoy things more
  15. I signed up for SlingTV - $25/mo first month is 40% off and there's a 7 day free trial so cancel on Monday. ironically you can install the app on Apple TV, Chromecast and if you have any LG smart TV's the app is native, i literally have the game going in every room in the house. i was going to originally cancel but i may keep it, it's pretty slick.

  17. https://triblive.com/sports/tim-benz-what-duck-hodges-actually-said-that-motivated-the-bills/ Ok i read the article, I don't know who Tim Benz is but if I'm reading his article right he is the one that passed on the original "comment" by Duck and now this article is is a b*tch slap on "you guys are totally overreacting, but whatever". here's what i'll say - outside of the Duck comments the Bills were being slighted at almost every turn, GMFB, pre-game shows, etc were all picking the Steelers and it was akin to "Buffalo doesnt have a chance" without really saying it, just unanimous "the Steelers win this one". Now with Duck's comments, his words, "I'm not sure there's anything they do just special" when referring to the straight up 3rd ranked D in the league (probably 2nd or even 1st in some categories) i can see why they felt dissed. anytime someone/something is top 5 in professional sports - you know they are doing something special.
