  1. Past hour
  2. Not much to report. They did just have a home opener special: 4 tix and a $15 credit at Anchor Bar for $68. Don't forget season opener is on Big Ten Network vs Minnesota, Thursday 8/28 8pm ET.
  3. Make tackle football an Olympic sport one day.
  4. Sure. Tanking is a reasonable strategy. But tanking is by no means foolproof and it does them no good in the near term - and they have some talent. I can see why they believe that Rodgers can take them from a team that loses in the WC every season to one that can win one or more playoff games. Their strategy isn’t much different than the one with which the Manning QBed Broncos won a SB. HOF QB at the end of their career, stud Edge player, etc., etc. While I don’t think it is likely to work for a variety of reasons, I don’t blame them for taking a shot. They can always tank next offseason if they want to.
  5. 2-22! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Johnson_(coach)
  6. for starters good read. I think this article has a fair placement of best all-time runners... Although I agree with where the article puts Thurman.. there are some rankings that I do not agree with. but yea. Thurmon gets his due https://athlonsports.com/nfl/25-greatest-running-backs-nfl-history
  7. Big “drain the swamp” fan? Did you vote for Trump to come in and “take down the deep state”? No, of course you didn’t. You didn’t care under Biden and you only care now because it’s politically expedient.
  8. How far away do you think we are?
  9. I am intrigued by James Cook. 2 probowl seasons over 1000 yards rushing. Does he have another gear in 2025? There is no question he's probably 2nd best skilled player on this team. While people may say 2024 is his breakout season, look at 2023, and he was even the starter to start that season. We noticed him more because in 2024, those big runs - he had 4 runs going for 40+ yards and 6 going for 20+. In comparison, Derrick Henry had 6 runs going for 40+ yards but 19 going for 20+, and that my friend is a stats that make DCs say "we gotta stop him" (Our HoF Thurman Thomas' best is 1991 like 11 20+ yard runs). Now you also hae to cosider Henry had 320+ carries compared to Cook's 200+ carries. Cook will no doubt buckle down and try his best in 2025 with his contract situation. You gotta think McDermott's preference to run the ball and Brady's review of the 2024 season recognizing the weapon Cook was. Trust me opposing DCs will look out for Cook more this season, but if he is able to put another step forward with the likely more work load thsi season, the Bills offense could be better than last year. Before everyone accuse me comparing Cook to Henry, Cook is obviously a class below Henry, but they have very different styles. Henry is not good blocker either. Cook's vision, the way he sees/sets blocking crossing the LOS while using his horizontal speed is very unique and effective, almost looked effortless. Henry is deceptive in terms of his speed (not quite horizontal speed). Cook also has deceptive speed. Ask Poyer, who knew Cook since he came to the league, that if you take a slight bad angle on Cook ...
  10. RGIII chimes in.. for whatever that’s worth.
  11. That was my plan at Duff’s on Sheridan, go in by myself and snag a seat at the bar. I went as about a 16 year old and shared pitchers of beer at tables with my older friends. I went in to try to get a seat at the bar a few years ago, only to realize they didn’t really have a bar to sit at. 🤷‍♂️
  12. He ruined the Late Show just like Disney, Jaguar and Budweiser ruined their brand... and they want sympathy? Lol...
  13. Thurman was great. He gets his due. He went to the Dolphins, so he can suck it.
  14. BarBill in East Aurora is better than BarBill in Clarence, which is still pretty awesome. The wait in East Aurora can top 90 minutes. That's why I stalk the bar, and when someone gets up to leave, I move right in. The most I've had to wait in East Aurora is 10 minutes using that strategy. One time on a busy summer night, my wife, step daughter and I walked in, a party of 3 left the bar as we walked up. We sat down, total wait time, 2 minutes.
  15. Trump should've just buried it saying it would just cause more political division in our country. Mostly because for the selfish reason in I'm sick of hearing about it.
  16. They really had no choice. He's a Team leader and maybe their best player. Perhaps they should have gotten ahead of this payday as you mentioned. Someone was going to pay him for sure. The League thinks he a game changer or Force player
  17. Just Moved to Baltimore, living in the Canton neighborhood, there is a Bills backer bar a neighborhood over in Fells point, me and my better half hope to be there for the game, there are a fair number of Bills fans in Maryland, we see their cars blazoned with the charging Buffalo! 🦬 Natty Boh, Jameson and wings!! GO BILLS!!! Was at Davis’s pub, next door to Annapolis the other day, there was a sign at the bar that the “Os” have a pulse…, 🤣
  18. They already have two James Cook Spencer Brown I know it's been stated numerous times, but Elihah Moore could be the breakout star WR especially if one of the other top 4 misses any time. I would like to say Kincaid but I don’t think Brady will use him like other elite TEs. That's a shame. On defense, sorry but I don't see anyone being a star. If I had to pick anyone I'd say a healthy Milano may have the best chance to be a star again. If you want to take a flier, I will choose Bishop. He is supposed to be athletic and McD took average looking guys and turned them into superstars in the past. Benford not even getting a mention in top CBs anonymous poll makes me really worry we have overrated him.
  19. Thank you for " reposting " wettlaufers research. And when we drafted him I recall there was more focus on his seeming limitations. Wow has he grown ! Going to re mention here , He is my Freddy Jackson of the current regime 🧡
  20. The Bar Bill on Main in Clarence is a must stop event when we get up for the opener this year. I have it penciled in during several openings and we’ll see which one works. We’ll be staying up the road on Main St in Williamsville. It’s silly that food takes on such a priority when I get back to WNY, but it’s what I do. I can only do so many meals in a day, and so far I’ve missed out on Bar Bill. I’ve tried to get into Duff’s (an old watering hole) a few times, but as noted above I will only wait so long for wings. Hopefully the Bar Bill what isn’t too bad or we can try it at an off hour, you know, like between lunch and dinner. I’ll try not to go directly there from Ted’s, because I try to disguise my gluttonous itinerary to some degree.
  21. MAGA is just insane. “The Senate Intelligence Committee conducted a bipartisan investigation reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents and interviewing witnesses over several years. The unanimous, bipartisan conclusion was that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump,” Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the committee, said in a statement. “This is just another example of the DNI trying to cook the books, rewrite history, and erode trust in the intelligence agencies she’s supposed to be leading.” Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement, “Every legitimate investigation, including the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, found no evidence of politicization and endorsed the findings of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment.” The FBI’s criminal investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia began in 2016 and stretched into the first Trump administration. It then became the subject of investigations by the Justice Department’s inspector general and by special counsel John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General Bill Barr to also examine the handling of intelligence that led to the Trump-Russia probe. The Durham probe ended with no finding of wrongdoing in the handling of the intelligence, but it did end with the indictment of three people, including a former FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to falsifying information in a surveillance warrant request targeting a Trump campaign aide.
  22. Funny timing on this fake news. I guess they need to go full fascist to cover up for the disgusting GOP.
