Positive Note: We won the beer can contest..................

Can't fire your twin. So next best thing is to deflect blame. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"

Thank you Mrs. Clinton. IV bags are that way -------->
Is that pointing the way to Chelsea's apartment?

Agreed. But my quality of the game was never as good as a HD TV broadcast which leads me to believe the compression was too high overall. The commercials, which I assume originated in the US instead of the UK, were higher quality and not choppy. I suspect fearing the worst from the UK broadcast they compressed it more. Might have been the differences in the color encoding systems (PAL in the UK versus NTSC in the US) as well. We'll probably never know for sure.
Great point on the encoding delta. No we will never know because the NFL said it was a huge success!

I know everything is compressed, which is why I said "compress the hell out of it"
If you compress too much the resulting video degrades.Not sure about how much appletv was buffering. I read somewhere that the Roku stick seemed to have a bigger buffer than most other devices and people were generally happier with it than over devices. So maybe buffering helped.
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! -
Even if it ends up 1080, it will still look like **** if you compress the hell out of it. Which is what it looked like to me.
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?

But the commercials were flawless............ The game stream was not. BTW 6Mbits is all that is required for a 1080i HD stream with compression.
-
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.

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.

My NFL Week 2 picks column is out, and this time Packers will be doling out revenge rather than dealing with regret: http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/09/18/nfl-week-2-picks-scores-predictions
I believe in the Bills and don’t see them turning into a mirage later this season. But I also believe in the edge that Bill Belichick seems to give his team when it has extra time to study an opponent, which came courtesy of playing the Thursday night opener. The NFL said this week that tight ends combined for 22 receiving touchdowns in Week 1, the most in any week in the last 15 seasons. New England’s Rob Gronkowski didn’t score all of those. It just seemed that way against Pittsburgh.
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.
-
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.

Please let training camp begin.........
-
I knew it! I liked the Tank, but he clearly wasn't doing much for us this year.
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.............
-
And notice how often the opposing team does NOT run to their right when Super Mario is in the game.
-
Before you call for his head...
1 - Who decides what players start on the OL?
2 - Who comes up with the blocking schemes for the designed plays?
Once you find that out, then you have your scapegoat for the sub-par OL play this season.
Way too logical for this site..........
-
LOL......I thought the OL coach was Marrone, being that that was his position when he played and he's supposed to be a OL guru.
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.
-
I guess they do now?
-
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?

Just sayin............

JJ Watt is a beast
-
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.
-
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%).
-
Probably from Black Rock
-
So, it would be an upgrade if we sign him?
LMAO
-
He could have interviewed with his football helmet on like Ricky Williams used to do
Thanks for the laugh. I forgot about Ricky. Poor guy........

Three defensive coordinators....... Decision by committee doesn't work well in the business world and it certainly is not working for the Bills defense.....
