  1. Past hour
  2. When someone has anything definitive that asserts a counterfeit, non TSO part, I'll be the first to respond. All of this maintenance and parts replacements are logged and the FAA has full time people assigned to monitor it at the site, as well as pilot training and other standards. As of now, it's just uninformed people yacking.
  3. If it is ok with all of you, I think I am going to defer to the professionals on this one…you know, the ones that set the Bills scoring record last year. For the first time in as long as I can remember, the Bills are actually on the leading edge of NFL offenses, and all our fans want is to copy offenses from 5 years ago that require crazy expensive players. All because Josh Allen has a big arm. It’s nuts
  4. In a land that's known as freedom How can such a thing be fair Won’t you please come to Chicago For the help we can bring We can change the world
  5. Anecdotally they look better in a bunch formation than spread
  6. The Bills have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was just 4 years old when my dad took my brother and me to see the home opener in 1960. I can still remember men bringing cases of Genny into the Rockpile to drink during the game. I was at the first game at Rich, with Mul-Key returning the kickoff for a TD on the first ever play. The memories of tailgates with friends, the great games I’ve see there, are etched in my mind and will be till I die. I will be returning next week for the Bucs game, probably the last I’ll see at Rich Stadium (I’ll always think of it as such). My son-in-law and younger daughter have never been to a game in Buffalo, and I insisted they had to see one game before the move. One game to be at Rich, to experience the atmosphere, see the tailgates, be part of what has been such a huge part of my life for 66 years. My wife, two daughters, a son in law, two of my nieces, all in our Bills gear, all tailgating and sharing food and drink with other fans. Can’t wait.
  7. The only loss we've had to them in five years was that heat game in Miami a few years back. My son and I were there, it's insanely hot on that side of the field. People were passing out, including one Miami fan near us had to come out of the stands on a stretcher. Diggs went down with bad cramps and the game winning throw to Mckenzie in the end zone slipped out of Josh's hand because of the sweat and fell short. Sunday will be sunny, humid and 86 which means field temps for players will feel like 100 degrees with pads on in the full sun. Remember the Fins sit in the shade on the other side of the field and for some reason the dopes who make the decisions don't have a shade structure for our side of the field. Its a joke. If Pegula had any balls he would flat out refuse to play there again until there is proper shading and cooling for the players. Guys in the NFL have died from this kind of crap. It was flat out dangerous, I remember Greg Rousseau saying in his college days there they tried very hard to schedule afternoon and night games until Thankgiving timeframe. Duh. Since that day the league has scheduled us around the 1 oclock spot there in early season, but here we go again with another dangerous heat game. So my prediction is players going down from exhaustion, cramping and heat stroke. The better team should win but Miami players have two advantages, acclimation and sideline shade. Its a real factor.
  8. The answer is, we'll see next time we play NE and Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis are on Deon Coleman! I hope we've come up with a work around by then.
  9. I still hate Travis Kelce. However, I do hate him less now
  10. I thought the episode would be corny as hell, and it was. But I enjoyed it. I didn't really think they would throw the barrel over, but they sure did. The Tasker comment about Harry Connick from the Minneapolis Super Bowl was hilarious.
  11. Wow. So now all the Bills fans can go to the stadium in their suits and gowns and enjoy their tea and strumpets.
  12. Yea, I think this particular play the early pressure by Jones makes Allen skittish. He steps up in the pocket and takes (the also wide open) check down to Hawes. I'm still not sure why this wasn't a catch. Looks like it went right through Hawes hands? Big picture does our WR corps suck or do we need to use them better? I think it's both. In terms of talent this is probably a bottom 5 WR corps, but we don't use them well either in this offensive scheme.
  13. Yes, my mother grew up in Blasdell in the 1930's and she talked about how the kids would go out to the sand pits [stadium site] and look for arrowheads.
  14. There is a short list of cities where the NFL is like college with how passionate the fans are and how the entire city/region transforms for the: Buffalo Green Bay Pittsburgh KC (tailgate apparently rivals BUF) Denver (same as KC tailgate wise) Cleveland All of those fanbases it is a different thing and they travel extremely well where it is noticeable on TV or when we have played them in Buffalo I have said "dang their are a lot of them here today". I have heard Detroit fans are very loyal just with how many years of beaten down they don't have a national following like the others. Minnesota I would also put up there, but still not to the level of these six. I will not necessarily put BUF ahead of them as much as it is a mutual respect because the passion is equal. How it is displayed may differ as each has a different footprint and history for what they have gone through. But if your in this six I will listen to calls of best fanbase and not bat an eye. The rest of the NFL it is corporate and a big thing, but not the sole focus. Doesn't mean fans in PHI or NY are not devoted, but it is not the same type of thing. Seattle I find very corporate bandwagon and when they got good it did remind me how currently some people just want to be "Bills Mafia" because it is the hot thing, same happened with the 12s BS. Baltimore does have a devoted fanbase BUT their recent struggles saw the stadium not filled which was honestly pathetic given how much season was left and Lamar was returning. I think they are a bit more frontrunner and their real test will be when they stink for a while if they can show any form of life. Their history is basically .500 or better with a ton of playoff years, two SBs, and conference title games mixed in.
  15. Winning makes a huge difference at every stadium in every city. I agree that Buffalo is the best football scene in America. But let's face it, if the Jets or Panthers for example had the 7 year success that Buffalo is having, the fans there would make it a more special environment.
  16. Just looking at his splits - play action seems to be where he's been at his best - as well as when the offense is under center Under center - 9 targets, 9 catches 96 yards 1 TD and 9 first downs. Play action - 7 gargets, 7 catches 84 yards 1 TD and 7 first downs. Where his numbers look worst is when they need more than 10 yards and those have been the back shoulder throws that have all been pretty rough. The timings bad, the throws are bad, etc. Greater than 10 yards to go - 23 targets, 14 catches 152 yards and 8 first downs Less than 10 yards to go - 18 targets, 15 catches 132 yards and 12 first downs Lastly - he only has 6 targets in the first quarter of games so far through 8 games. He may benefit from earlier targets to help "get in the game".
  17. I'm still not sure there's no place like it, but I've been to a lot of places that AREN'T like Buffalo. I went to the Jets and to the Panthers games this season, and both places were downright embarrassing to their franchises and fan bases. I hadn't seen the Kelce quote. Amazing to have someone like him make that comment. It verifies that what we feel in the stadium is real. The Chiefs game Sunday was one of the best at Highmark, but there have been so many, it's impossible to name them all. Chiefs last season was amazing, too. Ferguson and Kelly standing in the end zone, both wearing their blue number 12 jerseys, leading the pre-kickoff cheer, was an unexpected emotional moment for me. Those two guys that we cheered for during all of those games, all of the great moments they brought us, both of them then surviving cancer, seeing them out there was just so great. Too bad Kemp couldn't have been out there, too. Jack and Joe and Jim and Josh. I've been promoting my book by talking to Bills fans. I was at the Saturday night party at the Tavern by the Tracks in Charlotte, introducing myself and chatting with folks about them and me and my book. I was at the tail gate parties at Highmark for the Chiefs game. I chatted with folks at my hotel. At first, I felt awkward, introducing myself and talking about myself, but pretty quickly I realized that these were all Bills fans, and Bills fans are just great. Practically everyone was interested in talking to me, and very quickly we were sharing stories about where we grew up, what games we'd been to, how great it is to be able to go to these games and share them with each other. I doubt we'll lose it when everything moves across the street to the new place, but maybe we will. Either way, we should be sure to appreciate what we've had together as fans for all these years. GO BILLS!!!
  18. Simple question. With tariffs ranging from 100% to 20% with all the major trading partners, steel, aluminum, agriculture, autos, lumber, and if the economy is doing well as trump suggests where is the money. theoretically with hundreds of billions coming into the country covered by tariffs that should have increased the government voffers.....imports have not dropped significantly or have been replaced with internal produced goods....which creates jobs, and income tax, thousands were laid off or terminated, education costs were slashed...show me the money.
  19. From a few years ago, but still, they always find new ways when avarice is present! Prices are through roof with everything, just gonna make the cheats get more creative...
  20. "Going up to Buffalo's not an easy thing. That stadium was rocking. That place was electric. Shout out to all the Bills Mafia that was talking all the [expletive] in the world. I love it. It's a sacred place to play a football game. I cherish every game that I get an opportunity to go up there." - Travis Kelce
  21. But not only a raincoat. Remember how creepy that got last time? I used to play tennis midday in Florida all year round. Courts are always available at that time…for a reason. It’s one thing to be moving about, even if you are exerting yourself. You’re sweating buckets, getting shade at changeovers and you can put on dry clothes. It is a special kind of misery to just sit still in the stands at an NFL game and cook in the sun with stagnant air all around you. By November I’d consider a day game in Florida, but I’d be hoping for a cloudy day. I hope it’s not a factor this weekend.
  22. I just wish they'd try to use Coleman in a different way. Let him play out of the slot for a bit or something, because it seems clear that he's not successful in his role right now and I think Allen just doesn't have trust in him to try and force him the ball after the last few games.
