Week 17 — Falcons @ Bills Uniform Reveal
Whites Bay replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
Every time someone comes up with these things, it makes me think of a New Jersey Giants take-off. I mean...stop already. Wide Right was just too searing. -
Bills 1 seed Scenario - Seems slightly more likely than 0.2%
Whites Bay replied to ehfeuh57's topic in The Stadium Wall
They're the #4 seed right now with a fairly soft schedule in front of them. Realistically, the best they're going to get is the #3 seed, which I think requires the Bengals losing to the Chiefs. If the best they're going to do is the #3 seed...great! Go for it! If nothing else, it would be bragging rights. Given where the team was about 4 weeks ago (and with the fan base and this board throwing itself off the closest freeway overpass), I'd be f-ing THRILLED with the #3 seed. -
Such a beautiful reference. Always one of my favorites, and brings a tear to my eye. God speed, Glen Campbell. But this ain't Wichita, dude. It's Buffalo.

Top 10 Bills off-season storylines
Whites Bay replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To your preamble in Point 4 ("The competition for a starting spot on the O-Line is going to be stout in camp..."), I think the question really focuses on the IOL. We're looking at things from a Bills Fans perspective - "How do we get past KC so as to get to the Big Dance?" Answer - "We have to put Patrick Mahomes on the ground", hence two DL at the top of the draft. Well, consider that there are about 5 teams behind the Bills that want to move from the Final 8 to the Final 4 (Cleveland, Baltimore, Nashville, etc...you can make your own list). What's the question that they're asking? "How to we get past Buffalo so that we can get to the Final 4?" Answer - "We have to put Josh Allen on the ground." I wouldn't call IOL a "weak spot". But I'd certainly call it a "question mark". Those are three critical positions. -
Hard Knocks 2021: Dallas Cowboys
Whites Bay replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is so true. Disclaimer - I f-ing hate the Cowboys. But the moment that I realized they were just an irrelevant doormat came the day they fired Jason Garrett, and they put his record as coach on the screen as they made the announcement. I had to look this up just now, but the numbers are the numbers - he was 85-67 in 10 years. Putting my higher math skills to the test, it struck me that they're just a 9-7 team at best. Good enough to make a run at a Wild Card berth some years, but certainly nothing to be feared or revered. They're an irrelevant team that benefits from great branding. -
what OTHER games (non Bills) are you going to?
Whites Bay replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It looks like my brother is going to score a pair of tickets for the Bills@Jets game this year (through his work). We went a few years back when the Bills won 22-17. Always a good laugh. -
What I remember from the four Super Bowl AFCCG is getting spoiled by the Raiders game. The Bills just crushed Los Angeles. Pulp. The problem that arose from that (as a fan) was the expectation that this would happen each and every single time. What a rude awakening. That Broncos game was tough as nails. And the Kansas City game was no walk in the park, either. (Until Montana got brained, and then the air just went out the Chiefs sideline like a f*rt in a windstorm). What's the point? I could see a surprisingly low-scoring game this weekend. Great teams surprise you with adaptation.

When Will Josh Allen Get A National Commercial?

Emotional attachment to Bills - perspective welcomed
Whites Bay replied to Rockee96's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Grew up in Rochester watching the The Juice on a snowy, grainy black-and-white set. Watched 10 years of futility against the Dolphins. Thrilled at being at the Raiders AFC Championship Game, and the Greatest Comeback Game (almost left...but didn't...). And endured the slights and humiliations of colleagues and co-workers who weren't even football fans as they stuck their heads into my office to ask "Hey, wha happened to your team AGAIN?! HAHAHAHA!!!!" for four f*cking years in a row. And then came the wilderness years, but we continued to buy season tickets. Years of Donohoe, and Mularkey, and Jauron, and Gailey and Marrone. Drinking the Kool-Aid as I pinned my hopes on players like Shaud Williams and Bennie Anderson and Trey Teague and Eddie Robinson and LEGIONS of anonymous cast-offs and retreads. Watching our top draft choices fail because of horrible scouting or crap coaching, or leave the instant their rookie contracts expired. Holding my breath for YEARS every time there was ANOTHER report on Ralph Wilson's deteriorating health. And what's worse than THAT? Infecting my two (now grown) daughters with the virus, and hearing their anguished pleas of "Dad, why did you DO this to us?", and knowing that they weren't joking. And then came the end of the drought - sitting in a sports bar in Orange County with those two daughters as a miracle happened. Not ashamed of crying in public in front of my girls over a stupid football team that had broken my heart for decade after decade after decade. Then getting weird looks as I celebrated at a bar at a convention in Phoenix as the name "Josh Allen" was called at the Draft. Hurdling linebackers. Getting penalized for face-masking defensive tackles. Mercilessly crushing past tormentors like the Seahawks, the Patriots*, the Steelers, the Dolphins. I'll be okay if they lose tonight. I don't need people pulling me off freeway overpasses the way I did 30 years ago. But I know for a FACT that the Bills are back. F*ck You. The Bills are back. -
Potential for interesting weather if game played Sunday
Whites Bay replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sorry to bump my own post from yesterday, but I thought it would help to see how the forecast has changed side-by-side. The new forecast: Saturday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. West wind 8 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Saturday night: Snow showers likely, mainly after 11pm. Cloudy, with a low around 31. Breezy, with a west wind 16 to 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. So the biggest change over the past 24 hours is the wind. We're now talking upwards of 20 mph by the second half (up from 13 mph yesterday morning). And if a snow band settles on the stadium...buckle up. -
Potential for interesting weather if game played Sunday
Whites Bay replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
60% chance of snow, and west winds 9 mph - 13 mph. Wonder what that means for the gusts? Sharp, high-speed jukes are going to be hard for both teams. Straight ahead football. Hope the lines are healthy. -
Like I say, everyone's entitled to believe the forecast they want to believe. I live up by Watertown. This time of year, I ALWAYS check the forecast for wind events. Simply put, nothing in the world can prepare you for I-81 during heavy lake effect. You just have to experience it. And when I see a chance of THAT happening...I'm not going out.
-
Not for nothing, but I spent WAY too much time watching the Accuweather channel last night. Folks...there's something big coming in. Temperatures for the next 48 hours are going to be comfortably above normal, and right behind it is a big push of frigid air. Which means the forecast is calling for VERY strong winds, and the lee sides of all the Great Lakes are going to get clocked. We can debate which team that favors or harms, but my guess is the kicking games for both teams are going to be challenged. Everyone is entitled to believe their own weather forecast. Have at it. I've seen enough to convince me. I'M not going to be on I-81 Saturday evening or Saturday night.

I remember doing this in the AFC Championship Game against the Raiders. It was literally so loud the first time we got into it that I stopped and looked up because I thought there was another jet flyover happening. It was actually startling. I can't imagine trying to call signals in an environment like that.

Football Outsiders on Bills offense against Miami
Whites Bay replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What stood out to me was the fourth gif (second-from-last). Allen has a solid potential gain on the left side of the field if he pulls the ball down and runs. Could have been a NICE gain if the RB (looks like Moss?) engages some downfield blocking. Two years ago - maybe even LAST year - that's where he goes, and Bills Nation hoists a brew over a nice Josh Allen Experience moment. That's not enough for this offense any longer. They're much more greedy and sophisticated. -
Smuggling Myself Into Western NY
Whites Bay replied to DallasBillsFan1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This. Not meaning to be a jerk, but Labatts can be found at your local supermarket. Just chill. The Bills will be back doing the same thing next year. -
Wild Stat - Not one NFL Team went 9-7 this Season

Bills vs. Dophins Postgame Thread
Whites Bay replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wasn't it McKenzie? -
I'm not going to pretend that I've followed Newton closely for the past few years. My impression has simply been that he's a self-absorbed jerk with phenomenal talent. But I watched him as closely as I could during the MNF game. Leave aside the douchiness. The man was a truly BAD quarterback. There's a reason he wasn't signed until July 2020, and he did ZERO to convince any team that he'd be a good option at backup, let alone a starter. Another Dennis Rodman.
