Ah, the yearly offseason “how we became fans” thread. I, like a lot of you I suspect, became a Bills fans when my father (RIP) hung a Bills and Sabres pennant above my crib in January, 1974. The two teams are all that ties me to my hometown. Strangely, both of my kids are Bills fans even though they grew up in Cincinnati.

What is Netflix Sirens?

Squib kicks typically result in the opposing team having the ball at around the 25 or 35 And you can still fair catch them draining no time

I look back with quite a lot of nostalgia now at the drought. An era when every regular season win felt like a massive achievement. Especially if we beat anyone half decent. Now the regular season games often feel very routine and I kinda miss that jeopardy. Having a great team with a superstar Quarterback is definitely better, don't get me wrong.

An interesting tidbit about Norm and Cliff: George Wendt had a small part in the 1985 horror/comedy House. In the the 1987 sequel House II John Ratzenberger had a small part.

His agent taught him well

He has some zingers, like this one: “My dad died on 911. He was the best pilot in Saudi Arabia” Hey o

These jokes never get old Just like Tremaine Edmunds

And the answer was not Joe Brady. It is all on Keon.

As a kid, I had two great idols that I loved: OJ Simpson and Bill Cosby...which tells you how long I've been a Bills fan. Also an interesting fact about me, while I love Josh Allen and he SEEMS like a great guy, I just don't idolize or even trust that I know celebrities. Not sure why.

Me too. I also like Oregon reds. Thee local wine store makes much of its profit on French wines. She also sells French cheese. She's pretty concerned with staying afloat. Wegman's cheese from their cave is amazing but sadly the closest Wegmans is 3 hours. Many, many people enjoy good wines and cheese. Our so themed party brings in all kinds of folks and is our biggest Rotary fundraiser. You should look for one. Might change your mind.

@Doc calls this TDS, but what we’re seeing is unmistakable: authoritarianism edging into outright Nazism.

So you weren't a loyal follower of the Buffalo All-Americans back in the 1920s or the Buffalo Bisons back in the '40s. In other words, just another trend-hopping, clout-chasing, fair-weather Johnny-come-lately.

Tulsi isn't bright - she parrots authoritarian talking points while accusing others of the very tactics she enables.

Yeah I see that now it's set at least partially in Buffalo

Why do we pay taxes? Where is the outrage from MAGA?

Incompetence at the top isn’t just embarrassing - it’s dangerous.

Doc calls it TDS I call it Nazism - a crackdown on dissent, fueled by fear and intimidation. Silencing opposing voices is a hallmark of authoritarianism. The First Amendment guarantees free speech, but Trump’s gestapo is working to suppress it through threats and retaliation. This isn’t about law and order. It’s about control.

Havent watched it, but I think I saw that the main character is from Buffalo.

This 100% I Saw an interview with him at the start of the offseason where he said when he came back the offense had changed. He said something about it bothered him and he needed to adapt. He took all the blame and kudos to him. I think it's 3 things, 1) he is used to being the focal point in sports and that ain't happening here. 2) as Steve Smith said " everyone works out at this level". He wasn't going to be able to just come in and bully NFL DB'S. Hopefully he put on size and strength this offseason. 3) it's as McDermott pointed out, he didn't approach his return like they wanted him to. I that as a combo of 1 &2. Look no one wants the kid to fail,but so far it doesn't look good when you see how BTJ, and McConkey have performed. Now asI said,the kid in his interview seems to have gotten it,but he has to prove it on the field.

No idea what this show is but first scene dudes in a Bills shirt and the people are drinking outta Bills cups. Someone associated must be a fan.

So that Monty Python sketch was about you then?😃

TDS? Please. That lazy cop-out only works if you pretend Trump didn’t spend years flirting with fascism like it’s a kink. I didn’t call Reagan or Bush Nazis because they didn’t encourage mobs to storm the Capitol, idolize dictators, or dine and retweet actual neo-Nazis. Trump didn’t just ‘say controversial things’ he openly channeled authoritarian trash and grifted a cult into cheering for it. If you think calling that out is derangement, maybe you’ve just gotten a little too comfortable with the goose-stepping.

That’s a strawman. No one’s saying “he made me do it” is a legal defense (yet, several individuals who stormed the Capitol explicitly said in court that they believed they were acting on Donald Trump's instructions). This is about accountability for incitement and leadership, not absolving individual guilt. Trump spent months spreading lies about a stolen election, told supporters January 6 was their last chance to act, and then directed them to march to the Capitol. He knew some in the crowd were armed - he said so himself. According to testimony, he demanded the Secret Service “get rid of the mags” because “they’re not here to hurt me.” He didn’t care they were armed he needed them to rile up the crowd on his behalf. And while his allies were on stage calling for “trial by combat,” his base took the message literally. The Capitol was stormed within the hour. Pretending Trump was just misunderstood isn’t a defense. It’s denial.
