My own address is a new within 2 years constructed building so there was never a DTV subscription at this location and no way they'd know whether it is or isn't possible to get reception here. But states Not eligible.
-
So I just used this link and when I type in my own actual address it come back not eligible at this address. I then even typed the address of a nursing home and got the same results, not eligible. There's also a little pop up next to the address that states "Address must match your payment method" I've tried it also on more than one device with same results. I keep reading here how anyone can now get ST without DTV, but every time I've ever tried I get the same results. So someone, please tell me what the issue is or send me an address that will work. As far as I can tell nothing has changed and this is still only available for people who can't receive a satellite signal. Even there I don't understand why a nursing home isn't eligible. It also looks like they added this statement of "Address must match your payment method" as never saw that prior.

Training Camp practice 7/30

Kind of reminds me of the scene from Airplane "I'll have the fish" -
Bills sign TE Bug Howard
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So Hollister didn't practice yesterday, didn't see a reason listed. Today we sign a TE, could there be a connection?? Injury to Hollister?? Maybe since been reported why Hollister was out?? -
Training Camp practice 7/29
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's why Benjamin was stealing the food!! Wouldn't shock me to hear he took some band-aids and a couple of heating pads too. -
Actually he didn't say it first. Sorry, but I can recall already reading this here a few months back. Yes they did so can't se him going there either. And if he was offered the job, think I'd run the other way as just further shows what a mess the Texan are if they fire the guy they hired after one season. Of the three teams mentioned though the one thing Texans have going, assuming Watsons legal issues don't become even bigge,r is by trading him would get some picks in return. Maybe ask for 2023 picks this way you give Mitch one year to show what he can do, if not great, then use all your picks to draft a top QB. Agree could see Gruden quiting after this season as he realizes it's not like the old days, more than getting fired.

Early 53-Man Projections?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to elijah's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agree on Obada. I think one of the 2 OT's drafted ends up on IR. Doubt overall they keep 10 O lineman. Likely keep the safety they drafted Can't see Kumerow getting traded to Green Bay as they know if the Bills were to cut him, thats the first place he'd head. So they can wait till we cut him. On the other hand if some other team really wanted him, could see them swooping in with a trade so they lock him up. Think Sweeney makes the roster, as mentioned Gilliam is now listed as FB. He's also a ST ace so could see him making team in place of Jones. Agree to Stevenson has a shot, not sure in place of who though. With keeping 10 D lineman (which I agree with) could see them only going with 5 LB's think Dodson is the odd man out. So maybe it ends up being 26 Offense, 24 Defense and 3 ST?? -
Jake Kumerow… make the team or trade to GB?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah but usually the reason a team makes a trade for a player likely to be cut is to make sure 100% they got him. In this case if we were to cut him, high likelihood GB would make the best offer and Rodgers would be on the phone with him so can't see Green Bay giving up anything in a trade. On the other hand if some other team wanted him could see them swooping in with a trade to grab him before Green Bay has a chance -
To me the difference is in Buffalo and western NY the trip is they drop them in the sauce as soon as they come out of the fryer so the sauce kind of vaporizes into the wing. Many other places they let the wings cool a bit so then you end up with sauce just dripping off outside of wing. Some even the big boys like Buffalo Wild Wings will fry up 50 or so at a time and then sauce to order again letting them sit awhile prior.

If I were to give up a 1st round pick I'd rather go for a Chandler Jones as the D line is an area we weren't very strong in. Doubt it would happen there either after drafting a D lineman 1st, 2nd this year and 2nd last season. Overall don't think giving up a 1st for a CB is worth it as not a highly weak area of team. We were one of the top pass defenses already without him or any top tier #2 CB.

Who made Who in 2020? Allen vs Diggs
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd add it takes 3 to tango and add Daboll into the mix as sounds like from much of what Diggs said, he was the first OC that kind of listened to Diggs as devised plays to take advantage of Diggs strengths. Plus in general sounded like he had many more routes to run. Having said that while all 3 contributed, do still feel overall was the improvement of Allen. Without the arm strength, improved accuracy, and his ability to avoid sacks; all the route running doesn't help much, still need to get him or Beasley the ball. -
Agree, but don't recall Hopkins teammates ripping him for it like is happening in Buffalo. Both Diggs and Hughes kind of publicly contradicted him. Hughes comments about not driving down the road at 80 MPH sounded to me like he was really ripping Beasleys position.

I follow the Bills fairly closely, but not other teams and the NFL at nearly the same level. Just curious, are the Bills unique in that it's gone to the level of players fighting players/teammates on Twitter over this? This is the type of thing that can tear a team apart. Reminds me of the time a number of years back think it was basketball where the one player was sleeping with teammates wife created quite the division within the team. Similar issue with the Yankees in the 60's but in that case two players just swapped wives, so no one was all that upset at the time. Just needed to remember the new way home.

I'd argue it's much different. The other person very likely is still looking down the road and can warn you of something. Not likely both persons aren't looking at the same time. Rarely if ever do I ever see cars slowing down when two people are talking to each other, but you see it all the time with people on phone. About 10 years ago before texting was the rage, driving down the highway around 55, pass a car, drive looked like a 20 to 25 YO guy. He had one foot hanging out the window, cigarette in one hand, other hand was doing something else and wasn't on the wheel. What was actually being used to drive the car and steer, no idea!

But the counter to that is being good, they'll have more games broadcast as the double header game coast to coast, Sunday and Monday night, plus maybe a late Saturday game. Depending where you live if the closest local team isn't in the AFC, a couple of 1:00 Bills games may also be on local TV Few years back a friend of mine was a Steelers fan, lived here in NC and had DTV for ST. One year he counted 11 of their 16 games he could watch over the air, so bagged it the following year. There are always the illegal streaming sites available. A friend of mine tells me the quality and reliability of them has become quite good. True story, last year wanted to watch a SU football game (why, yeah I don't know) that wasn't on local TV so found it on one of these illegal sites. After about a half hour remembered I have the ACC network so could legally watch it so switched over. The video quality was better on the illegal stream.

Beasley breaking "Omerta"
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Beane takes him out fishing look out. Better take him out on Ontario, Erie is kind of shallow. -
I thought the "top 51 clause" is only through training camp, once the final roster is selected all 53 count?? For someone to make the PS believe they'd have first been waived/cut so they no longer have a contract. The players on PS are then paid a set salary, same for all teams. Whether that counts towards the cap or not not sure, probably doesn't matter as all teams would have the same amount of $$ so would be a wash. Think the league has not yet announced whether they are going to go with last years PS rules which were more liberal due to Covid or going back to the 2019 rules. If I recall they added more slots and also allowed players with more prior years playing time? Wouldn't be shocked to see 2 or 3 Bills slip on a banana peel or something and end up on season ending IR, can see that happening with one of their tackles they drafted and maybe a D-lineman or two. Always find it interesting how these guys are healthy enough to play in the pre-season games, but then all of a sudden a week before final cut downs they are hurt. I'm sure they are legit, but also think he'd have played hurt all year if they needed the player.

Practice Tickets for Season Ticket holders

We're talking about practice?? Not a game? Practice? -
Richard Sherman Arrested
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I fixed your post! -
Yeach could see a mutual agreement to part between either Payton or Tomlin as won't want to go through a rebuild and/or they discover it was just dumb luck that they had franchise QB's all these years and not their brilliant coaching and getting the next next one is alot more work than they realize. Agree too on Shanny and lets not forget Gruden, think he may walk away. And I'll give Meyers two seasons before he leaves again for health reasons. Even in NE, how long before Kraft figures out it's hard to recruit FA's to compete as they don't want to play for BB without the franchise QB there to get them to the Super Bowl every couple of years.

Apple might get Sunday Ticket
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Buffalo Boy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Understood, but the fact that my TV was flipping back and forth every couple days between NC and Philly stations is still kind of strange?? The TV never moved. I wonder too about the VPN spoofing. -
Apple might get Sunday Ticket
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Buffalo Boy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So interesting I have YouTube TV, live down in NC and have a 2nd house up in eastern PA. I initially set up YouTube down here in NC. Recently when traveling up there, within 24 hours of arriving, my laptop switched to the local Phily stations. Even though the TV had never resided in a house other than PA one day would have Phily stations, next day NC stations, couldn't make up it's mind it seemed. And anything I recorded, on their "DVR" was recording on the NC stations even though I was in Pa at the time the recording was made. I was there for a a month BTW so wasn't a short visit. Once I returned to NC, it picked up stations here again right away.
