But he got paid. Ralph is cheap!

If he's been so great then I definitely don't understand the issue with the DL, is everyone else just standing there? The bills seem to lead the league this year in misleading statistics

Dareus? based on what, his contract?

I expect, like with shady internet 'hit' counters, the NFL is counting each time a connection comes into the platform as a viewer, when in reality each viewer probably connected multiple times throughout the game. You'd get laughed out of any dot com advertising dept with that methodology, but the NFL figures they can just scam and get away with it

well of course they feel that way in what they say to the media. what are they going to say? we're a bunch of undisciplined slobs and play for a literal fratboy retard?

yeah i was being an ass. The notion that I should have to do anything beyond turning the TV on in order to watch a football game is just stupid. It's fun for script kiddies to waste time like that, but if you have a life and responsibilities, watching a game should be the escape from tedium, not a conduit to more of it

Well you see, grandpa, if you only had a top end Cyberpower PC with octo core i7 CPU running the latest debian linux distro and Matroska, you could have just paused the live stream DUH

Right, talking down to me about the difference between a bit and a byte is a solution. It's a solution on par with "The buffalo bills would be a better team if they had a good quarterback" That anybody who paid for the Sunday ticket, but could not view this game via the Sunday ticket for *any* reason makes it a bad overall experience. But hey, the NFL got paid, so I guess yaaah?

Thanks for the networking 101 lesson. Let me guess, you have your a+ cert and you know more than anyone over 30 about how TCP/IP works. I mention the switch because if I didn't some genius would tell me that it was an issue with my wifi setup, which is assuredly isn't, but rather the partially supported ecosystem of browsers and apps out there. The larger point is, streaming the game is great for people who can't afford or get DTV/ST for whatever reason, and a hard screwing for the rest of us.

My speedtest is fine - regularly 30+mb down and 10ish up. The problem was/is that the built in browser on the smart TVs that I own (a couple of fringe TV companies - Samsung and Sony), AND the browsers on the PS3 and PS4 simply couldnt connect to the stream. One of the TVs and PS3 are hardwired into a 100/1000 switch and right into the cable modem, the other devices via wireless (802.11n, full signal strength) then into the cable modem.

Yup, that's exactly where I got this from... his descriptions of the people as they slowly starved and lost their minds (perhaps because of ergotism!) sounds a lot like this place after 16 years of repeated beatings

Same. SONY XBR and new Samsung TV, PS3 and PS4, none of them could stream. What of the game I watched was on my ipad while I folded laundry.

look at the 1985 roster... tell me that team didn't have some star power up and coming. there's no Bruce Smith or Darryl Talley on this squad http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/1985.htm

Was it 1985 when the Greg Bell led Bills beat the Cowboys? he had like an 85 yard run early in the game. Am I senile? The Bills were what, 2-14 that year?

If there's a team that could figure out how to lose in a bye week, it's our Buffalo Bills. Maybe Jerry Hughes will commit some sort of egregious personal foul against the Mayor or the Pope or something and the league will penalize us a game

Gisele @ Buffalo Bills. Gisels favored by 17 points

TT would have made that first down at the end of the game

was thinking this yesterday. Those two and maybe some others. I'm pretty disappointed in Hughes. If his skillset is such that it can only thrive in a very specific D, then find a team running that D and see if we can pick up some draft picks or maybe OL

Are you for real?

No, you see, Whaley just needs to mortgage the next decade of 1st round picks to go get a receiver that is 12 feet tall. That's how this works, right?

Hey maybe he is. Do you suppose he's betting on the games? That would explain a lot. You bet on the Jags, make sure they get comfortably ahead, then stage a comeback but go halfhearted at the end, collect your winnings

Right, I'm reading the other thread where Lunatic P. Crazy is suggesting that we start EJ against Miami because it'll be way different this time. I'm all for collective delusion (I'm Buffalo through and through) but enough is enough. We're turning into the Anabaptists at Munster.

Yup then we can go back to focusing on our Billion Dollar Babies on the DL

yeah that's what I'm saying. I think it's safe to remove Dallas from the potential win category. This team does not have what it takes to beat a playoff team, and I absolutely defy anyone to say otherwise

Seems wildly optimistic. 538 gives us probability of beating Miami, Houston, Washington, Dallas (!), and the finale against the Jets. Lets work backwards.... the last game, against the Jets. I can see the Jets contending for a wildcard spot, and us playing for the difference between 6-10 and 7-9. Although familiar territory for the Bills, I can't imagine the Jets rolling over and the Bills showing up for that. Dallas? That's just crazy talk and why statistical models don't always reflect reality. Dallas will run for 500 yards against the Bills, Romo or no Romo. Washington? They're inconsistent but seem to play hard each week, at least in the bits I've seen, so I guess that's probably our best chance for a win. Houston - maybe? Watt can pretty much single handedly own the Bills O-Line. Maybe he'll be out for that game and the Bills can win on a last second field goal Miami - ha fat chance. Miami has gone from a laughing stock softie team to a contender seemingly overnight. Amazing what a hard nose coach can do. Too bad we're stuck with the Big Dumb Face at HC Even if the Bills beat Washington and Houston, we're looking at 5-11, lol what a year
