Hey, Sherpa...congrats on the retirement!!..I'm a 737 CA in ORD with 15 months to go..will retire off the narrowbody. Couldn't agree more about the controllers in Chicago. Folks here have only hit the tip of the icebergs here with fix names and stories behind them. Hope you are enjoying football more now that you dont have to keep packing the suitcase...Go Bills!!

Agreed. Every camp I've been to, though not many, Pegula has been there. Off to the side, talking to Beane or McD, but not intruding. Why wouldnt he be there? Frankly, as an owner who is relatively new to the NFL, and who struck oil (or natural gas) hiring McBeane, he needs to be listening to them so he knows the type of guys to hire when he eventually replaces them. No job is forever in the NFL, and even if they are wildly successful, you end up replacing them eventually. Even Kraft had to replace BB. If I were the owner, I'd be tagging along as a fly on the wall. See how people operate, what works, what doesnt. Gotta be able to steer the ship a bit.

I'm really glad we get to play the Dolphins twice a year.

Sanctions have worked so marvelously. Let's see if we can turn the petro dollar into the petrol nickel.

REMEMBER THESE HEROES ? NBC News: Here's the Texas Dems' Exit Strategy John Sexton Yesterday we learned that the Texas Democrats who fled the state to prevent a quorum and block a vote on redistricting were making plans to return home. Even though the article, from an ABC affiliate in Texas, didn't have a lot of detail it was pretty clear that the plan was to fold up their traveling tent and declare victory in some fashion. Today, NBC News has a more detailed follow-up story which goes into detail about the Texas Dems' exit strategy. Texas Democrats met late into the night Tuesday then again Wednesday, including breaking into smaller groups, to discuss their next steps and what their ultimate exit strategy looked like after spending the last 10 days out of the state, according to four sources close to the talks. https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/08/13/nbc-news-heres-the-texas-dems-exit-strategy-n3805791 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-fled-texas-block-gops-redistricting-plan-weigh-exit-strategy-rcna224719 .

The raw numbers are fine...he didn't play well. QBR (overall ranking in parentheses): Jayden Daniels (4) Drake Maye (17) Bo Nix (18) Caleb Williams (28) Penix didn't start enough games to qualify for the season leaderboard, but his QBR from his 3 starts would have likely placed him around Maye and Nix. Era-Adjusted ELO - I pulled each first rounder dating back to Josh Allen's class for fun (26 of them) and pulled their Era-Adjusted ELO through their first 17 starts (the number that Caleb has started), or if the 1st rounder didn't even make it to 17 starts in their career, then whatever their career ELO ended up being. Ranking amongst the 26 in parentheses: Jayden Daniels - +63.6 per game (1) Bo Nix - +53.7 per game (4) Drake Maye - +9.8 per game (8) Michael Penix - -35.0 per game (17) Caleb Williams - -47.7 per game (18) For reference, 9 of the 26 had a positive era-adjusted ELO through 17 starts: Daniels, Lamar, Herbert, Nix, Stroud, Jordan Love, Burrow, Maye, and Kyler Murray. The folks ranked below Caleb's rookie year are: Kenny Pickett, Trevor Lawrence, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields, Dwayne Haskins, Zach Wilson, Bryce Young, and Josh Rosen. PFF Grade (position rank in parentheses): Jayden Daniels (6) Michael Penix (8) Bo Nix (22) Drake Maye (40) Caleb Williams (44) And if you just want to go off of the eye test and watched the games, he simply did not play well. Now how much of the blame you want to place on him vs. poor coaching, OL play, etc. is up to you, but I don't think there's really any argument that he wasn't disappointing. I'm not saying he was a trainwreck or anything and I personally still like him quite a bit as a prospect. But yeah, he was hyped up to be one of the best QB prospects of all time and instead was arguably the worst in his class as a rookie.

Might already commented on here but where can you find online to watch episode 2?

CJ was blind. He had negative vision. He was always a superb athlete. He wouldn’t be better than James Cook today. He’d probably be what he was. A very fast athlete who was a bust. Sean Payton couldn’t use him. It wasn’t creativity

According to my research, that Jack Jones passed away last year at the age of 86 years old... so I'm unsure whether it's the same guy. I'll defer to the more knowledgable fans on this one.

Troll. 😂

Are you okay? feel like you have posted something like this every couple of hours.

Appeals court allows Trump administration to resume foreign aid cuts The Hill, by Zack Schofeld A federal appeals court voted 2-1 on Wednesday to lift an order requiring the Trump administration to resume billions of dollars in foreign aid payments. The divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel found a lower judge erred when he restored the flow of funds in March. Two groups of grant recipients sued over allegations the cancellations infringe on the separation of powers since Congress had appropriated the money, but the panel ruled they can’t bring such a claim. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5450232-appeals-court-lifts-aid-order/amp/

slightly above my opinion of putin

I just do not understand why the auto industry continues this adversarial BS with their customers. For most people a car is the second most expensive item they will buy. Dealerships make it a complete hassle and they often fail to represent themselves, the product and the experience well. I drive my cars longer than maybe I should. A big part of the reason why is that I can’t stand the purchase process. With my wife’s car purchase I ended up in a shouting match with the sales guy because he was to also serve as the technology rep. He had no clue on how some features worked and I had enough when he became condescending to my wife. Sad thing is the car is excellent and has some really cool tech. YouTube is your friend when you want to figure stuff out.

They are scheduled to be at the bigger summit next. After we find out if Putin is serious.

The weirdest part to me about the drought years, is that we made hires at the time that seemed like good ones. Tom Donahoe and Doug Whaley worked for the Steelers before coming over to Bills. Donahoe was there throughout the 90s as "Director of Football Operations" and was part of building very successful teams. Including going to the Super Bowl in 1995 and multiple championship game appearances. After he was let go by us, he became a Senior Advisor and then won a Super Bowl as the Senior Director of Player Personnel" with the Eagles in 2017. He made some good signings and draft picks with the Bills but somehow just couldn't figure it out as far as actually having a good team. Whaley was also part if the Steelers organization throughout the 2000's when they made and won 2 Super Bowls. Yet, comes here and is a huge failure. Buddy Nix was actually a scout for us back in the 90s working under Butler and AJ Smith when we still built solid teams throughout the 90s. He followed Butler and Smith over to San Diego. He was the director of Player Personnel and then became assistant GM after Butler died. Him and Smith built solid teams there the entire decade. He comes back to Buffalo and can't figure it out. It's mind blowing how ridiculous and baffling it all was Thank God for Beane and McDermott who had a sure plan and built it their way and have made it work

When I said some fans can’t handle the truth, I was referring mainly to Bishop. He has been mostly a disappointment and has underperformed his draft selection. Hairston, was not a highly regarded corner by scouting operations and we took in the 1st round. He was not considered a first rounder with his performance in college.

The removal of elections in Ukraine as long as the war continues?

Easier said than done. But I'm willing to listen to the details of your plan. More sanctions? Sanctions against they're trading partners? Something else?

Sandwich wasn't a homeless guy DC sandwich slinger ID’d as DOJ trial attorney, fired from position after hurling sub at fed agent https://nypost.com/2025/08/14/us-news/dc-sandwich-slinger-idd-as-doj-trial-attorney-fired-from-position-after-hurling-sub-at-fed-agent/ It's nice when swamp-rats screw themselves out of a job by being stupid.

Ouch…. That was a gut punch ….. so true

What is your opinion on Zelensky based on?

Wut? * Watching the earlier clip of St. Brown reminded me of the line from 'The Other Guys'.

I know this isn't the point of this thread, but: CJ Spiller was ahead of his time. He was also poorly used by the Bills. Put him in the 2025 NFL with its increased space and speed and college influence, and give him to a creative offensive mind...that boy would EAT. That said: Yeah. We've come a long way. From the Marv Levy nostalgia tour, to using the 9th pick on a "waterbug" and sleeping through the start of free agency, to the toxic dumpster fire that the Bills became under Russ Brandon and Doug Whaley. And who could forget the constant (and very real threats) of losing our team to another city? And now look at the Bills: one of the most respected and well run franchises in the National Football League, perennial division winners and Super Bowl contenders, and 12 months out from the opening of a brand new stadium that should keep the Bills in Buffalo for decades to come. What a long, strange trip its been.
