  1. Clowns legacy lives on. Fat on talent but thin on wins.
  2. But it's not called THE PROCESS like ours. Theirs is called cheating. And they're good at it. A +1 in the W column.
  3. It's not an election. It's an activity of a private club and they can do whatever they want. Or so Paul Krugman said in 2016 when the D's were in the midst of Throwing the primaries for Hillary's benefit.
  4. Nothing as anonymous on the internet.
  5. The D's should have nominated Ted Kennedy? If you say so. I remember 1980. He was 11 years post Chappaquidick. He had his wife who he was separated from travel with him for appearances sake. He was for socialized medicine before socialized medicine was cool. Would have played great with Reagan's I'm with the government and am here to help you routine. Not to mention his 2 brothers got their heads blown off. Many didn't even want him to run fearing another nut would try to make it a threefer. As the Senator pointed out, if he had driven a VW Beetle, he might have had a chance. But he didn't. He drove a boat instead
  6. I wouldn't. Sounds like a jinx waiting to happen.
  7. Seeing as to how both of our wins this year have come against teams that were worse than us last year (let that sink in for a minute), it's not unreasonable to wonder if we can beat good teams or not. I know I have had the same thought myself. But beating teams you are supposed to is what good teams do and Buffalo teams of the past have NOT DONE, so I am encouraged.
  8. I wanted us to try to get in FG range and get some points before the half and more on 1st possession of 2nd half. But I wasn't surprised. I've been watching football a long time and have seen this scenario play out many times. It's what coaches do for the most part. Sitting at home on our couch with buds watching the game being aggressive and going for it makes sense. If your career and dreams depend on decisions like this, you may think about it a little different. Bottom line, we won, so I'm good with all the decisions made in that game. Just win.
  9. I don't know if it's well run or not, but I get a lot of my care at the VA and it's excellent. And, I don't have to haggle with insurance companies over coverage. I don't have to wait long for appointments either. I can only speak to my experience. Your mileage may vary I suppose.
  10. Since the ACA passed with all D votes and 0 R votes, the Ds could have done whatever they wanted. Which is what they did. Think about that for a minute. The party of science.
  11. I'm going to disagree on the TV product being damn good. Technically and variety, yes, but entertainment not so much. The instant replay reviews and the refs standing around trying to figure out what the rules are is making it almost unwatchable. There was always too much lag time with all the time outs. But now it's ridiculous. Thank goodness I have TIVO and can fast forward through all that. College football is even worse.
  12. Be the De facto team leader. make the playoffs 2 years in a row. Pretty much keep doing what he's been doing this year resulting in a double digits win total win a playoff game of two preferably at home.
  13. Not necessarily. Stadiums have value. Billions of dollars of value. And while those guys are moronic, they are great business men which is how they got enough scratch together to buy a team (and coax the local yokels into building them a new stadium). Do you think a stadium's value has anything to do with the team's value?
  14. Did you read the article? Chiefs are #24. Saints are #25. What do they have in coming besides winning a lot? Jets are #8. Washington is #7. What do they have in common besides losing a lot?
  15. Again, new fancy stadium. Exactly coincided with the winning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Patriots The Chiefs win a lot, why aren't they in the top 10 and the Jets are? Oh yeah, the Chiefs stadium is as old as ours. Saints are at 25 and they've won a ton over the last 15 years. Their stadium is older than ours too. When it comes to team value, the stadium plays in heavy. Wins/losses doesn't hurt, but far from the deciding factor.
  16. Please explain. I laid out why I don't agree. Why do you think it does beyond "Start winning and the value skyrockets. " Is that all you got? Again, give me an example (if you got one).
  17. Doubtful. A look at the top ten list shows many teams that aren't all that good. Even the most valuable team has won only 1 playoff game in the last 20 years. 49ers had good run with Hard Ball but pretty much stunk before and after. The Jets? Rex and those back to back AFC games were a looooong time ago. The common theme among these teams (with the exception of the Bears) is they all have fancy new stadiums. If Buffalo continues to muddle areound .500 or less for a few years and then builds a fancy new stadium for billions of dollars, then the value of the Bills will go up too. Until then, it won't much if any regardless of the win/loss record. Do you know of a team that was bad and then got good and their team value sky rocketetted? If so, who? Meanwhile, the Jets and Giants have stunk for years and years yet are 2 of the most valuable teams.
  18. Yes., It's because of the stadium. This is why owners always want new stadiums. It drives up the value of the franchise. In Dallas, the Dallas Mavericks played in Reunion Arena which was built for them when the team moved there. 20 years later Ross Perot Jr. bought the team and did NOTHING to make the actual team better. They stunk at the time. Instead he put his time and resources into buying up land around where he got the city to build him a new stadium. Land value and the franchise value went way up and then he sold out to The Cube. Personally, I hope the Bills continue to play at the Ralph for the next 50 years. Terry and Kim (and the dog) will be fine.
  19. I said it looks promising. Just not ready to crown anyone until there are some hides on the wall. Something like a home playoff win. Never confuse effort with results. And I don't necessarily think this team is more talented than the 2014 - 2016 teams especially at DLine, WR, DB, and RB. Our coach is better and I'm hoping that makes the difference.
  20. What Beane has done so far looks promising and is a good start, that's as far as I'll go. With Sunday's win, they are now .500 which is exactly where we were the 3 years before they got here. Time to deliver. I'll say all hail Beane when we win our first playoff game at home. Beat the Bengals. Go BILLS !!
  21. No. I think this is kinda dumb. Bills have helped other teams several times. Like when we beat Fitz and the Jets, the Steelers got in. Did we become their second favorite team? Doubtful. I look at it this way. Had Joe Webb not completed the bomb to Thompson in the snow bowl and the following play Richie springing Shady with a great block, or if we hadn't come from 7 back at the 2:00 warning to win by 3 in regulation vs Bucs, we wouldn't have made it even with Andy. I think the things we did had the most to do with it.
  22. Since Duke has never played in a real NFL game I can't say. But based on his play in PS and Canada, I would think it's a real possibility Duke would be a better option.
