It depends. If it's a good game that for some reason is blacked out, I'll go. Otherwise, it's the radio.
I went to the cards game because it was blacked out, though. But also because I was able to get good seats. I must admit, I love Bills football, but there are parts of the stadium experience that I don't enjoy. Such as drunks throwing stuff at you - like 1/2 full beer cans. Or watching people puke when walking down the stairs. Or listening to some foul-mouthed dick scream all day. So, for me, if I can't go with a large group of people with whom I feel comfortable, I need to be in the seats that are least likely to have the unpleasant things happen. Those also happen to be the most expensive seats, which also becomes a determination.
I think what I'll do next year, depending on the economy and my wallet, is get together with 3 or 4 buds and buy 2 or three season tix and alternate who gets to go.
How do you get your Bills fix? Do you listen to the game? Or do you drive over and pick up a last second ticket? I live in Pittsburgh and I took everybody's advise and bought Sunday ticket. But I have been to 5 games this year, including preseason. What I do is go down to Heinz field and tailgate at about 9am. Then rush home for kickoff for the BIlls game. It is the closest I can get to game day in Buffalo since my car Blew up. -
Peter King hasn't watched a football game all year, let alone a Bills game.

Todd...I cannot win...if I would have included late round picks you would have said that who expects anything from late round picks. When I don't include them you comment on how I tailor the data to exclude the gems of TD. You and I will never agree about TD. I still like your insight, and unlike you do not think you are a fool.
Don't misunderstand, I don't think you are a fool on a personal level. I think someone's ideas can be foolish, without that person being a fool.

Let's look at the 2004 Bills and see how well TD has drafted....(Only players in the 1st 3 rounds)
Travis Henry....Replaced with WM (who he drafted, and I gave him s**t for, but looks to be a good draft pick). Still he did draft TH and 3 yrs later he will be gone.
Denney and Kelsey both 2nd rounders who will not be around too much longer. Though both are improving.
Mike Williams...overpaid and will be replaced when his cap hit is lighter.
Josh Reed...Replaced with Lee Evans.
Coy Wire....Replaced with Milloy
Oh, so only players in the first three rounds, eh? Do lower draft choices not count, or doesn't it support your silly argument?
I'd say that three years of 1,000+ yards is good ROI for Henry. Why is this a bad draft pick? I think it's a damn good one. You're wrong there.
Mike Williams has been playing quite well this year. Do you actually *watch* football, or just read Jerry Sullivan columns?
Coy Wire - quite a good ST player.
Let's see - Josh Reed (a 2nd rounder) replaced with Lee Evans (who happens to be a Donahoe draft pick paying off in his rookie year). Not sure what you are trying to argue here, but you're looking quite foolish.
I don't know why you chose not to evaluate lower picks, but I consider those part of a draft. Let's look at a few, can we?
1. Jonas Jennings. Hmmm. He was a 3rd round pick. Why do you neglect to mention him? Hmmm? Maybe because it makes you look foolish?
2. Willis. Looking like a damn good pick, isn't he? Oh, sorry, I forgot that Donahoe stinks at drafting.
3. Aaron Schoebel. Hmmm. Do you have a problem with that pick?
4. Freddie Smith - 7th round. When a 7th round player does well, that tells you something, right? Like maybe Donahoe is good at drafting?
5. There's some guy named Terence McGee on the Bills team. I think he's run for a few TDs. Remind me how many, please. And you might want to check what round he was drafted in, and by who. (Hint: 4th, Donahoe)
6. Nate Clements. Please explain how he's a bad pick.
7. Ron Edwards. 3rd Round. Very good part of the Bills rotation.

Good God. It's well chronicled that the Pitt ownership had no interest in spending money on signing bonuses. Donahoe did damn well with the hand he'd been dealt. I wonder what would have happened if he didn't get Bettis. That was a horrible move, right?
Please, please, please show me how bad Donahoe is at drafting. I'd love to see you try and prove that one.

Mini overpaid for Winfield, but I still think he's one hell of a player.
-
Umm, okay. Who is better, newman or any of our current LBs. Hmmm. Irvin? You've got to be kidding me. Didn't someone pay him a ton of dollars to watch him turn to toast?
I'll give you washington. Love that guy. But Pat and Sam are good, as well.
Steven, you've backed yourself in a corner again. It's been a long time since you've started your whinefest over old, overvalued players. I thought you were over it. Facts don't support your overly-emotional evaluation of reality.
-
And who might those people be? Marcellus Wiley? Sam Cowart? Peerless Price?
I know you're still bitter at TD for getting rid of the overpriced players who you loved, but it's time to get over it. It's been YEARS, man. The axe has been ground to a nub, don't you think?
-
Hmm. Eric Moulds ring a bell? Aaron Schobel?
I don't know, but I find it hard to imagine that Donahoe would actually think, "Let's see, I don't want to resign my player even if he's good, so I'll find a bargain."
I just don't see it.

Harrison came out the same year Moulds did.

The 49rs are truly one of the worst teams in NFL history. They are horrible. The Bills could beat them with Burns at RB.

I thought, therefore, I was.

Bwaaa haaa! I'm sure that was too easy, but great post, Dan!
...and New England only put 30 up against them in New England. I guess, through the kind of conclusion you are trying to draw, that we are better than NE. I could have swore that you were trying to paint a negative picture, but okay....and yet the Seahawks still beat your COTY candidate. I guess if you are going to draw parallels then the Panthers really super suck.
Seems to me you were saying 4 weeks ago that two out of three road wins and a win over St. Louis would make us "legitimate." http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=9096
At the time:
-the Rams had the same win/loss %age as they do now.
-the Seahawks were on top of the division. They still are.
-Miami was beatable. They still are.
So what changed between then and now that, in meeting the criteria you established on 11/7, the Bills still suck?
Oh, and BTW, it's too bad the genius Parcells put the old washed up QB in instead of the "QB of the future." After all, being a genius Parcells should know that the only way the Cowboys will win a Super Bowl is if he starts Henson now...And if the Seahawks suck so bad that the Bills beat them, then Henson should have been able to throw for 6 TDs against them....

Ice, you are out of your friggin head. I don't see how you can call Donahoe a moron, unless of course you are a moron yourself.

He calls Bledsoe "Humpty." How can he be unbiased. He's a dink.

(OT) Article on pirating movies
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Judging from the title of this thread, I thought the article would be on movies about pirates -- as in the "Arrrg." kind.
