  1. Three defensive coordinators....... Decision by committee doesn't work well in the business world and it certainly is not working for the Bills defense.....
  2. Positive Note: We won the beer can contest..................
  3. Can't fire your twin. So next best thing is to deflect blame. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"
  4. Great point on the encoding delta. No we will never know because the NFL said it was a huge success!
  5. Sorry missed that point but the compression algorithm used should be static and not dynamic............. If you over compress the quality would stay crappy not oscillate!
  6. Compression is standard in the industry, so not true. Even the commercials are compressed but came across in HD in all cases (at least early on). What I saw was likely dropped packets forcing packet re-sends and eventual drop back into SD (480). I solved the issue of randomly switching between HD/SD by selecting Medium resolution (SD) mode on the PC (Chrome Web browser). But on a 65" TV, not pleasant. It seems the folks on Apple TV had the best experience so that makes me question the root cause. Was it the broadcast or the PC Web Browser/Media functionality? Or maybe a combination? Does Apple TV have a larger buffer such that the lost packets can be resent before they are needed?
  7. But the commercials were flawless............ The game stream was not. BTW 6Mbits is all that is required for a 1080i HD stream with compression.
  8. Horrible experience on a big screen - 65" Panasonic. I finally switched to Medium resolution (which netted SD) to keep from switching back and forth between HD (1080) and SD (480). Laptop hardwired to FIOS, laptop to AV Receiver via HDMI. Noted commercials were all fine so it was the feed from the game as I assume commercials were inserted in the US.
  9. One question: What happened to the defense we saw against the Colts? It was lights out and had Luck all kinds of confused and bruised. We more or less have abandoned this approach the last few weeks.
  10. But did he really have extra time to prepare? It is a brand new offensive and defensive scheme that was not first unveiled until Sunday.... So maybe it is not such an edge that he might have later in the season.
  11. I haven't seen this question pondered on here. Just because he started in preseason does not make him a lock to start on Sunday, IMHO. Rex is pretty smart and we might just see something else come game time.
  12. Not if you never use a traditional two back set...... Why oh why must we stick with the ridiculous Option play with Orton in the shotgun. It is so ridiculous to believe Orton is going to run the ball. It is so Pop-Warner..... Go back to last game and notice the couple of run plays in which Orton was under center and Freddy got a running start at the line.............
  13. And notice how often the opposing team does NOT run to their right when Super Mario is in the game.
  14. I think that is the general concensus here. But if true, what is Morris contributing and how is Management justifying his salary? Someone has to be accountable for every salary in a (well run) business.
  15. While we are hunting heads i.e. Hackett With the lack of success with the OL why is no one calling for the Offensive Line Coach's head? http://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches/morris_pat/ee7bdd7d-6f6d-48b1-bf3a-7265dc1f49b7 Just sayin............
  16. The odds are set and adjusted based on keeping the betting even on both sides. The people betting effectively set the line. If the Chargers fans feel dissed with the current line, they need to take advantage and bet a bunch of $$ and the line will adjust.
  17. So what is the over/under on how many opponents will be coming off a bye or Thursday night game before playing the Bills? I'll take a shot at 4 (25%).
  18. Thanks for the laugh. I forgot about Ricky. Poor guy........
