  1. Could be homerism, but I don't think that was a particularly close call. He barely had it, the ball was moving as he brought it down, and it ended up on the ground.
  2. The good news is it's too warm to really stick, so it shouldn't get any worse.
  3. As long as you spent less than $27,000, it won't be the worst loss in CCSLC history.
  4. I'm not sure if it was a first down, but it looked like the TV yellow line wasn't lined up very well with the marker on the sideline on that play.
  5. Weird little things for the Bills... they call a timeout that ends up costing them 50 yards of field position, the jumbotron crew might have cost their own team 4 points right before the half...
  6. I'm still not used to my team being the one throwing the rainbow deep balls.
  7. Only four kickoff return TDs in the league coming into the final week; Nyheim Hines had two today.
  8. They have two officially retired numbers... Ernie Stautner and Mean Joe Greene. Also a bunch more that are kept out of circulation. If a guy dies 3 years after he retires, yeah, that was completely unexpected. Trying to line up a retirement with the 50th anniversary of something is too cute. The guy's been retired for almost 40 years and nothing's changed. I think they only started retiring them in the internet age, so some old articles will still say zero. The Steelers' own article from the summer about Franco's number getting retired says it's the third. https://www.steelers.com/news/steelers-to-retire-harris-number-32
  9. The last two plays that mattered in Giants-Commanders were the refs taking a TD off the board because a guy was a step off the line and then refusing to throw a PI flag when a guy got absolutely mugged... both against the Commies.
  10. The snow came in at the critical moment like Popeye's spinach. Pretty cool to see the Bills have a little success running at the end. That boneheaded roughing the punter penalty by the Bills finally evened out by that pass interference on the final drive. Felt like there were a bunch of drops on the Bills' end, so it was shaping up to be a frustrating game until things seemed to turn in their favor in the snow. They don't win every game, but it's always encouraging when they can fight back after a rough quarter. I spent a solid 15 years watching this team fold at the first sign of trouble.
  11. If you throw anything on the field, you are a garbage person and should be insta-banned.
  12. Different opinions on how much snow will fall during the game, but we'll have a good base to work off of. When I was at the first Winter Classic, there was enough snow blowing around to make it look amazing, but not really collect on the ground. That's the best case for a good football game with an interesting backdrop; 6" falling during the game is more like a car crash "can't look away"scenario.
  13. Bills are home against the Dolphins Saturday night. I don't think we've had a night snow game in Buffalo in a long, long, long time. Edit: And I checked... the Lions are on the road this week.
  14. This play might have won the game. Mike White fumbled the next play and didn't look the same afterwards.
  15. Right now, his career is looking like the most un-Sabres thing ever. He had 35 points total in his first 4 years in the league. Last year, he exploded with 68 points. The Sabres decided this was good enough to give him a $50M contract (which doesn't take effect until next season; he's still making $1.4M this year). Normally, for the Sabres, he would immediately get injured or otherwise disappear from the scoring sheet... but he has 21 goals and 40 points in only 26 games so far. If he keeps playing somewhere between this season and last season, it's going to be one of the best contracts in the league.
  16. bUt WhY'd ThEy HaVe To MoVe ThE gAmE? (The stadium is in Orchard Park.)
  17. It's like the difference between playing in the rain and playing in a hurricane. Clearing the stadium is a massive manpower operation; all that snow has to actually GO somewhere. People need to be able to get to the stadium to do it. Every flight in and out of town is cancelled. There's a driving ban in most towns in the county. I think the stadium area got hit even harder in this first round then it was supposed to, so moving the game turned out to definitely be the right call.
  18. Bills-Browns moved to Detroit. The storm is actually supposed to be winding down by kickoff, but 1) That makes them look bad if they're wrong 2) People still have to get to the game beforehand 3) Clearing a lot of snow from the stadium is hard. It would have been fun if they could have pulled it off.
  19. May be my Bills bias, but I think Frank Reich is more likely to get another head coaching gig before being forced to go back to OC. He was really going places in Indy before Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan came along.
  20. My rule of thumb for big stadiums/arenas is 3 years of construction, so even if everything goes to plan here, we'd be looking at 2026 before the Coyotes have a permanent home.
  21. Boston Globe said the victim tested negative for everything: "Part of that bullying included wiping a candy push pop in a urinal and tricking Meyer-Crothers into consuming it. The victim reportedly had tests for hepatitis, STDs, and HIV, which came back negative." https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/11/04/sports/mitchell-miller-bruins/
