That's why the Jests are #1. They've had some decent teams over the years but they've always been unhappy because they've always known they're "second stringers". They've played in another team's real home stadium since the early 90s. They've suffered not being good enough to the Bills in the 1990s. They've suffered not being good enough to the Pats in the 2000s ... and now they know they're not good enough to take on the Bills again. Maybe their 41-year-old QB can get them a playoff berth this year. Maybe. Guess which camp was right?

Miserable? I'm an ND fan and I'm not miserable. I think most ND fans are actually overly optimistic, especially from the fan pages I am on. And Detroit at 10? Their fans are super-hype about their team and they're coming off a NFCCG appearance. Ohio St. at 41 is also dumb considering how long they've been winning.

I hated the 70’s Steelers but have to give them props: Bradshaw Franco Harris Swann Stallworth Mean Joe Greene Jack Ham Mel Blount Jack Lambert Andy Russell LC Greenwood

Where can I find this picture -asking for a friend

Yeah, one of the worst complaints is having too many prime time games because they have to get up for work the next day.

More than likely, it's one of the 4 women he got pregnant at the same time last year....... Allegedly of course. https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2023/09/19/former-baylor-cb-nfl-star-xavien-howard-allegedly-has-four-women-pregnant-at-same-time/ On the tail end of a career and you're gonna create, even take the chance at creating for that matter, 4 child support payments that are going to last until you're almost 50? He's gonna be broke and working at Publix in no time.

That Oilers team was amazing. I saw them live, beating the Hartford Whalers 11-0

Wishing her a happy birthday & nothing but the best

Wow, just wow. He has enough trouble staying healthy. Are they trying to kill him by putting him on the cover?

My cousin was a juror and said that was fake news.

This is a compliment- you would have been better off spending those thousands on your local NJ pizza shops- they consistently make the best pies in the US.

The even odder part of the story is the woman deleted the image from her son's phone but he logged onto his icloud specifically to view it. Oedipus theory alive and well.

I have never been a part of any "shady" dealings. There are issues that must be overcome conducting business there, but just as challenging and frustrating is getting goods through customs in Miami. Calling the continent a "no fly zone" is just a gross judgement. There are many wonderful places to visit, and I have been enriched by having friends in those areas, Think what you want.

I definitely experienced that with Arsenal's Invincibles in 2003/04. 49 league games undefeated and you just never expected them to lose a game. The other thing that team was great at was being 2 nil up inside 25 minutes. They took the drama out of so many games.

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahaahhahaah hahahahaahhahaahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

In general it's a tougher place to be on the sane side of the argument, but that's offset by not having to fabricate outrage. Thank you for your concern.

You've gotta check out this album... actually provably from a... gasp... CD Front-to-back a beautiful era of X:

On paper and experience certainly.... McD is a DB savant... We could start cam lewis at FS and I wouldn't be in a super panic mode I trust whoever gets the majority of reps in training camp and PS to play well... It's certainly going to be interesting without poyer and Hyde back there

Safety. Because unless Bishop can win a job in camp it is the weakest unit we will put on the field week 1.

I'm a little late to this party, so I'm just going to throw in a couple of random thoughts/arguments I had reading the thread. First of all, for all of those posters sick of people using Reid as some sort of comparison, it is just as annoying for posters to keep saying we should have multiple Super Bowls or be in the Super Bowl every other year at least just because we have Josh Allen. And since we haven't been, it means McDermott sucks or can/will never get over the hump. HOF Dan Marino, HOF Jim Kelly, HOF Fran Tarkenton, HOF Warren Moon, HOF Dan Fouts, Donovan McNabb, Philip Rivers, Steve McNair, Matt Ryan = 0 Super Bowls (future HOF) Aaron Rodgers, (future HOF) Drew Brees, HOF Brett Favre = 1 Super Bowl each (You could actually kind of add HOF Peyton Manning to this list as he was dragged along to his 2nd Super Bowl) So, let's just look at the current or soon-to-be HOFers on those lists. That is 9 Hall of Fame quarterbacks (four of which, at least, you could argue as Top Five All-Time QBs). Combined, they played 154 seasons of NFL football and yet have just 4 Super Bowl rings between them. That's 150 seasons with no rings for these HOF QBs. Just having a great QB does not guarantee Super Bowls. Now you could counter by saying, yeah, well if they didn't have good coaches, it's the same thing as the Bills situation. But in case you forgot, here is a the list of their head coaches: HOF Don Shula, HOF Marv Levy, HOF Bud Grant, HOF Don Coryell, HOF Tony Dungy, Mike Holmgren, Sean Payton Winning a Super Bowl is not as easy as some of you guys think. Just because you have an elite QB, does not guarantee Super Bowls, even with a HOF coach. There are so many factors to a football team and how their season plays out, plus lady luck (in regards to injuries, lucky bounces of the ball, etc.). There is context to every situation. And second, as far as getting over the KC hump, yes, we lost to them three times, but I don't see beating them in the playoffs as some insurmountable task. This is the way I kind of look at the three playoff games vs. the Chiefs: 2020: Bills first real taste/test in playoffs, KC was just the better and more seasoned team (both players and coaches); Beasley on a broken foot, and a bad knee; Diggs with an oblique injury; and the refs allowed the KC DBs to hold and manhandle our receivers all game long (just rewatch how unbalanced it was officiating-wise, now some of that too could just be a little lack of playoff experience and knowing that the refs let more go in the playoffs---but it was pretty bad on the refs part, imo). Not saying we would have won otherwise, just another factor. But, the Bills just weren't ready yet for a playoff-seasoned KC team as an up-and-coming team. 2021: The infamous 13 seconds. One of the greatest playoff games ever played. Let's face it, whoever had the ball last was going to win that game...both defenses were gassed and had been gashed all game. Those two offenses that year were just perfection. Yes, you can blame coaching all you want, but it's on the players too. And what if we won the coin toss? What if he missed the 48-yard FG? Etc. Plus, you can question coaching decisions for every single team that lost a playoff game in the history of the NFL. Sometimes things just happen. How many playoff miracles are there, where the losing coach gets blamed? Lots. And how many NFL coaches post-1960 are perfect in the playoffs (have no losses that can be questioned)---Zero. Reid was blamed in Philly for bad game mangement and every one of his losses was questioned. Time to get over 13 seconds, it happened, and it's in the past. But this game was obviously a complete toss-up as far as the argument of us "getting over the KC hump" goes. 2024: Bills injuries: No Matt Milano, No Jordan Phillips, No Tre White, Taylor Rapp (out), Christian Benford (out), Terrell Bernard (out), Baylon Spector (out), Poona Ford (out), T. Johnson (playing after concussion the week before), Rasul Douglas playing through a knee injury, Gabe Davis (out), Sam Martin punting with a bum hamstring, it was only Micah Hyde's 2nd game back after being out all season, it was Daquan's 4th game back after being out 10 weeks, and whatever the heck was going on with Stefon (whether it was injury or he just quit on the team---21 yards and no TDs on 8 targets with a fumble). And we only lost by 3? That seems more like a plus for coaching rather than a minus, even though it still sure sucked to lose.

Of course anyone is free to feel anyway they want. The team that we beat ‘under their sun’ as you put it has also beaten us under ‘our sun’ to send us home for the season. Our victories over them were meaningless speed bumps on their way to championships. Fretting over a Cincy team that we have only faced ONCE in the playoffs while discounting a KC team that we’ve faced THREE times in the playoffs without winning once seems misplaced. But, like you said, we’re free to be concerned with whomever we want. I’ll be concerned about Cincy if and when we ever meet them in the playoffs again.

Average temp in Miami in mid-September is around 90, and typically humid. Especially in oppressive heat and considering that everyone knows that Miami has arranged their stadium so that opponents are in the sun while they're under shade. But hey, if that's what they feel that they need to win, doesn't say much for 'em. As long as they keep sending Allen Father's Day cards we're good.

Who said that? That wasn't one if his weaknesses coming in via the Draft.

Well, WRT Samuel, again, IYO. I don't think that I'm undervaluing him at all, he's been a below-average WR in the NFL over 7 seasons, reasons aside. Claypool, we'll see. 5th time's the charm players aren't high-percentage. For Samuel it's the 8th time's the charm. Last year there was a whole lot of talk about Harty and Sherfield too. Keon has a moderate shot at being productive depending upon how we define productive. I envision Samuel being no better than the fourth leading pass catcher on this team this season, if everything lines up for him. There's way too much hype for a WR that's absurdly overrated in the "contested catch" category and whose collegiate production was based upon plays that aren't going to work nearly as well in the NFL for him. His personality and comedy routine is great but it's not worth anything on the field. IMO fans are going to be incredibly disappointed in his rookie performance. The original post of mine was in response to the hype video being Shakir stepping up. Think as you may, but it's incredibly unlikely that if Shakir, who's got chemistry with Allen, doesn't become our top WR this season, that a WR that's never caught a pass from Allen is going to be the one to do it. Claypool may not even make the team, and Samuel's averaged fewer than 500 yards and about 3 TDs/season. Pretty unlikely he does it either. Time will tell.
