off topic Buffalo Bills 2015

[qwksndmonster]

By d4rk's reasoning, we shouldn't be worried at all.

 

Seriously, what kind of Northman skips his own hockey game to watch the Bills play live?

[TrueBlueGED]

Are they bordering on Hodgson soft?

 

I would not compliment these individuals in such a way as to compare then to Hodgson.

A true Buffalonian, that's who.

I didn't mean "live" like at the game. I meant "live" like "he's not recording it and skipping the BS for some reason." Edited November 23, 2015 by qwksndmonster

See, I don't understand how people can record a game and watch it later when they know the outcome--half of the excitement comes from not knowing what happens and living in the moment. I've often tried to record games I was going to miss, and I never end up watching them, it just isn't nearly fun enough if it isn't live. To each there own, I suppose.

Same here. I don't know what it is, but it's just not the same.

It's only live for those in the stadium. It's delayed for the rest of us. It's just a matter of degree. This actually kind of blew my mind recently when I read that those watching sports on satellite can be up to 10 seconds behind the play. It's less for cable and virtually nothing for radio. The delay is much longer online. Moral of the story: for the vast majority of us, the Sabres will win the Stanley Cup before we realize it. We've waited decades, what's a few more seconds?

I never said anything about knowing the outcome.  Rarely do I watch a non-delayed Sabres game.  I don't live in a city or anything, so I suppose I'm ahead of the game there.

I am incapable of cutting myself off to the point of not knowing. I either inadvertently find out, or more often, have to know so I look.

It's very hard to go dark to avoid knowing the outcome these days, but I've managed to do it in the past.  If I'm successful avoiding the score until I get home, then I just go out and lock myself in my man cave and I'm home free.

Happened yesterday.  I knew the Ravens won the game on the field goal.  Parked my car and walked into house and watched it live.

[WildCard]

Even if I don't know the score I can't do it

[Wyldnwoody44]

If I can castrate Myself from the day, and not knowing the score I can do it, flying home from Hawaii I Made it all the way across the country, 3 layovers, countless people on the plane and DVR the Miami game couple weeks ago, got picked up at airport way early into the morning and was pumped to watch it after going out of my way to not see it, when I turned airplane mode off, I got a spam email from the bill that said bills win! In the header, I was deflated beyond belief. I watched but it wasn't the same

That's probably what happened to that dick who sued the Bills over text messages a few years ago.

Watched the first period of game 7 against the Senators in 07. Had something important I had to attend, so I recorded periods 2 and 3. Was I able to wait until I got home to watch the game w/out knowing the outcome? Hell no! Was able to deny the urge a couple of times, but caved and went to see the final score. And of course my response was sob! Have never attempted to record a game since then. Simply know I either can't hold it off or someone will tell me. Remember Seinfeld finding out the score of a Mets game from Kramer? Yeah, it's tough to pull off. At least for me it is.

So wait, you were spoiled by the results of a game that never actually happened?  This conversation has just been taken to a whole new level.

[TrueBlueGED]

Poor phrasing on my part earlier, but this is how I am. It just has to be live. Yet I know at some point in the future I will record an important game I can't watch, only to delete it upon returning home.

Ha Whoops! Meant to put game 5. I try very hard to forget that series.

[Lanny]

Honestly, yes. They are missing some huge pieces, we're healthy, have had 11 days to prepare and rest, and we have learned from last game. I swear to ###### though if we don't jam his wr's at the line, I'll lose it, because then it means we haven't and apparently can't learn anything from our mistakes 

If you're jamming at the line be ready for a healthy dose of pick/rub routes.

True, but it's the only thing I've seen work against Brady. Giving his targets a free release just let's his >2s delivery time work like it's supposed to

[woods-racer]

Ouch....

 

And to the second, I believe this is a glove slap.

[Sabre Dance]

A key to a Buffalo win is to get to Brady early in the game.  He may complete a bunch of passes at first, but if you blitz him and knock him around a little, he gets rattled. That usually means he gets "happy feet" and/or takes an extra second to throw the ball.  That can make a difference.  Even if it doesn't, Brady still gets knocked around, and that can be almost as satisfying as a Bills' win.  Almost.

I think we've finally found the perfect antonym to "gay porn hard."

I watch almost all of my sporting events on DVR delay.  Too much family and work stuff going on in the evening to plant myself in front of the TV from 7:00 pm until bedtime -- although I make GD sure I don't know the outcome.  It's not interesting if I know the outcome.

11 -- intentional, or Freudian slip?

[Wyldnwoody44]

Haha, nice

 

 

Wait, ok good it's still there

[GoPre]

Have the highest hopes Buffalo will win tonight. But who on here really thinks the Bills will pull it off? I'm pulling for a win. Will be super excited if they do. But will admit a Bills win tonight would be shocking. Talking major upset here.
