I watch because I root for the team and its players. I want to see them reach the ultimate goal and feel pride as a fan. The team have had great success during this run and it has been exhilarating at times. Unfortunately, every year has ended in heartbreak. If championships don’t matter, then why do we hurt so much when they get knocked out every year? Until they win a Super Bowl, or at least get to one, all regular season successes would always ring hollow.

It's not the Vikes account, just a fan

HB, KB! Now I understand why they chose today.its also Joe Namath’s b’day

I should clarify. I’m not saying that fans shouldn’t appreciate their teams being good even without championships. But it does diminish any statistical accomplishments without championships. Especially when it’s continuous success like the Bills have had. The longer this statistical success goes on without winning, or even getting to a Super Bowl, the tougher it will be for fans to hang their hats on those successes. That’s all I’m saying.

Doc, c'mon man. First of all, it's unkind to say a take is "dumb" and violates the do-no-harm principle of the Hippocratic Oath. Second, you have a very short memory if you rate this the dumbest take on this board. I've personally made dumber takes although I think my dumbest take pales in comparison to some others. There have been some doozies over the years.

Yeah sure. Maybe from players and coaches standpoint. But from a fan’s perspective that’s all that matters. If any fan say it isn’t then they’re either lying or rooting for interests other than winning.

I'm in my 80's and the only wedding that I attended with a cash bar was in Potsdam, NY. in the 70's. I understand that was common there at that time.

All this makes me wonder what Beane knew when he cut Diggs. Essentially paying him $31M to play on another team is a big decision and must have been based on considerations beyond the sideline antics.

Melody - sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying. It could be simple or complex. I understand, Thanks for the reply. This tune deserves recognition in the Punk Rock genre. Appreciate the feedback/repost Mups

My buddy Jeff’s wedding in June 2018, I had an ossobucco that I would kill to have again. The only other thing I really remember is very suggestively dancing with the mother of the bride. Jeff and I don’t talk much anymore.

“Shady” picking me up after he tosses a few “minus 1s” off the party bus…

The whole team and an open bar? There goes his signing bonus! 🤣

Trade policy 101 really needs to be a new high school curriculum. There is no such thing as a "trade deficit." It's a subjective made up term. It's as silly as saying a surplus of imports is positive or exports exceeding imports as negative. It's like saying I have a trade deficit with the grocery store because I give them money for goods.

Yes. More!

I guess I must have missed the "off season podcasts where he openly criticized the team" while Diggs was still a Bill, but i focus on field. It was pretty clear to me that Diggs and Allen were not on the same page as of the end of 2022 and that Diggs was not taking accountability/ responsibility for anything. The Facts are the Facts: Diggs had 6 games over 100 yds in the first 9 games, but only 1 game over 100 yds in the last 7 regular season games, despite having 55 targets in those games (avg 8 targets per game). I did wonder if part of it was Allen's UCL injury, but I remember more than one commentator remarking that Diggs and Allen were clearly not on the same page or "Diggs should have had that". It wasn't just the Bengals game where Diggs was 4 receptions on 10 targets with at least 2 balls it looked as though he should have had. Meanwhile, Diggs was ducking his league mandated media responsibilities, in contrast to his assertion of leadership on the team. Then, after the mandatory minicamp fiasco, there were the September hot mic comments from Maddy Glab and her subsequent forced penance at the hands of Diggs media team. Whatever you think of Glab as a reporter, she doesn't come across as having a conniving bone in her body so I took her comments as speaking the literal truth about the Diggs she knew behind the scenes. And it wasn't a pretty picture. Then the 2023 season was a repeat of 2022: Diggs 5 games with over 100 yds in the first 6 games but the Bills were 4-2. Next games, Bills lost 3 out of 4 despite Diggs attracting 12, 12, 7 and 5 targets. Moved away from Diggs towards the run game (guy still got his targets, 8 targets per game in the last 7 games). It seemed as though for whatever reason Diggs had become a half-season guy who couldn't get it done in the 2nd half of the season - that seems to be common as players age, they start strong after an off season of healing up, but the beating their body takes every game starts to accumulate. Diggs, of course, attributed that to Joe Brady. Greg Cosell said he no longer had the physical skills to function as a #1 receiver (based on his film analysis) But you can 100% count me in the camp of people who felt that Diggs was functionally un-cuttable or un-tradeable in 2024 because of his contract and the huge dead cap hit it would create, and because of the dearth of other WR options on the team at the time and the fact that the Bills hadn't demonstrated much ability to run the ball consistently in previous seasons. I wasn't unhappy to see Diggs gone, but the move made me think that "Big Baller Beane" is actually an apt nickname and I thought "wow, our D is gonna have to be carrying our offense" going into the season.

I got my invite, but since I am living in Panama, I am going to have to pass.

Wake Forest will now be in the crosshairs. Never been on campus but Winston Salem is very nice. And not overly liberal.

Classic!
