Neither of us really know the guy personally, so I guess it’s hard to really judge. It is Jmo , he seems like the type that would not disregard a neurologist etc telling him it was not safe to play Tua. He obviously has little medical knowledge , so I think he has to rely on what he is told. Fins are a shady org with a shady owner , so I guess it’s possible if he felt his job was at risk if the owner sent some message down, anything is possible. One thing is for sure , people can never be completely trusted if money or their livelihood is controlled by someone else. In this case reckless is really no different than acting maliciously. Seriously , if it was Belicheck, I would believe anything, this guy I would believe until something is conclusively proven otherwise. Time will tell I guess.

It’ certainly has some risk , but that is how medicine is risk vs benefit. Short flight to Miami probably , like a couple hours probably. Maybe three ? They have time to act unless he became unresponsive and I’m not a pilot , but I would think if that happened they could land in Atlanta etc.

True , have to understand they have no medical expertise, nor does the head coach. He did seem to misspeak about the falling thing. He was thrown to the ground violently, so not sure what he is referring to. I think he is shaken up a little , just lost and your qb is fortunate to be going home. True he is not out of the woods , the next 48 hours are still a critical time. You can have delayed bleeds in that period. So any NEURO changes , like vomiting or confusion or worsening headache are ominous signs. He is traveling with a dr so that is as safe as he could be unless he started vomiting on the plane etc. People makimg an issue about him being discharged don’t know how much medicine has changed. If tests are negative you are discharged. Hey I was discharged the next morning at 8 am AFTER having spinal surgery on 4 discs with spinal compression after getting out of surgery at 10 pm the night before. I was in a lot of pain and Was like please let me stay just a day , but nope , sent home !😀. When I was in residency In The 80’s , we literally kept people In the hospital for bed rest for simple,back pain for 3 -5 days ! No joke ! Medicine is much different now run by insurance companies and CEO’s.

I actually like this guy. I think he is being honest. He is kind of nerdy , and I don’t see him being malicious enough to pit Tua in if Drs told him to keep him out. Fins are in good hands , unfortunately. But I at least like the guy compared to a creep like Belicheck

Classy guy , best beard ever. Burrow is a little too cocky , arrogant for me. Josh much more humble , team focused.

That speed is hard to deny , or duplicate. We really could use someone like Waddell. We beat teams with routes and scheme, so some great speed would be a plus. Maybe they need to give cook some reps out as a receiver ? Drafted the guy , use him.

Exactly , I made. Post about this issue in another thread. Heat illness can and has caused football player deaths numerous times over the years. They are so concerned over Tua and the concussion protocol, yet lives were placed at risk in those conditions yesterday. The product on the field was impacted negatively and I think we will see some with lingering effects. Theee is no excuse for not changing no time of that game until later knowing on field+temps were researching 120 degrees reportedly. This is a bad look for the NFL , and as they set trends and are watched by high schools etc, playing that game as if players just have to suck it up and play as some sign of toughness is outdated and wrong. Glad to hear you are recovering ! Best wishes !

Great post and points. I think after watching yesterday the NFL needs to think about moving games to a later time when this type of extreme heat is involved. There is no way to prevent heat illness without time over days to acclimate beforehand. They are actually fortunate no one was hospitalized or worse. Every year we lecture about heat illness / exhaustion/ stroke etc and still you see reports o young athletes dying from situations like this ; thankfully it’s much less common as staffs are more aware of early warning signs and treatments. The NFL is better than what happened yesterday , and while the NFLPA is so worried about Tua and the concussion protocol, they exposed two rosters to severe heat and injury risk for no reason. When temps are above 100 degrees on the field, why not rotate to a 4 pm start time? It makes no sense to play that game at the worst time / hottest part of the day and the product was affected while also sending a message that disregards all known health science regarding prevention of heat illness and it’s risks of severe consequences. Plus it will continue to have lingering effects as it is hard to recover from and increases risk on subsequent exposure. Just a bad look and the evidence is all the injuries and players still having issues. it’s not the old days where players are just expected to suck it up and just play. We know the risks , and that was a dangerous playing condition yesterday. They delay for lightning which is a much lower risk than heat illness is given those conditions, so a delay is a simple solution. Let’s see if the NFLPA /NFL look at this for future games. No one benefits watching a product like yesterdays game. Jmo. 😊

Usually you have great write ups and I appreciate them. This one seems a Little angry given the situation.😀. The Bills have been injury free for years , it’s finally averaging out this year. . We will really miss hyde but at least we should hopefully get most guys back when you want to peak late in the season. Just wanted to address the medical stuff a little since you addressed safety. Tua could certainly clear a standardized , computer based concussion protocol. It has to be administered and cleared by an INDEPENDENT neurologist for him to return. That’s the rule , so team docs can’t clear him. Florio also explains this tonight on NBC. IT USED TO be just the team doc asking questions of orientation and memory and they asked the same questions all the time so players got around the test by memorizing the answers. That’s not the case now. I suppose the fins could have cheated and bypassed an independent doc clearing him , but that’s not supposed to happen. So I have no issue medically if protocol was followed and he passed. He looked great on third and 22! If they bypassed the protocol that’s on the fins and not the NFL. I don’t think you appreciate the extreme heat and heat associated illness we were seeing today. We ran 90 offensive plays. While in a way that’s good , it also was inefficient in that heat. John Fina has said a ten play drive is an absolute killer and that why he,advises playing in the preseason so guys get a taste of that exhaustion. We had many longer drives than that so the heat was taking a heavy toll. That’s why so many lineman got sick and were replaced. Its why Diggs could never recover. I don’t care how much you hydrate before the game , there is no way to prevent heat associated illness in this situation. The only prevention for heat illness is hydration , cooling , and acclimating over several DAYS to that type of heat. Our bodies can not adapt that quickly and just showing up a day before won’t work. That’s why the fins had fewer issues as they have been acclimating physiologically over weeks and they still struggled despite limited possessions. Once you start having symptoms like cramping , you are way behind and it just progresses and it showed on the field. That’s why the line was getting no push as you mentioned. They were battling heat illness symptoms like lethargy , nausea , mental slowness in processing , cramps and then it can get worse if not treated correctly. Bates’ looked very Ill to me. The only effective treatment is cooling , fluids and you have to get out of the heat. Wicking material is a huge help but I didn’t see guys changing jerseys and I would think the NFL uses the best materials but I haven’t researched that. This is just as a bad or worse than playing In the blizzard conditions. So running 90 plays actually worked against us and long drives in this heat were counter productive. It’s obvious as we still lost with the fins running only 39 plays , but they were more efficient and effective. Josh did make some unusual errors, as did many offensive players. He had no time and Morse being out was huge. They are relying too much on Josh and the lack of a running game can’t keep being ignored. It’s killing us in short yardage and red zone in close games , but obviously not an issue in blowout wins. Josh touches the ball on every play , so 90 plays in that heat was bound to cause some issues later in the game. You start to lose concentration or have motor issues and you aren’t aware of it as others may notice your performance dropping before you do , it can be subtle and is insidious. . Guys were looking very sluggish on those last two drives and Diggs was having to sit and Gabe looked fatigued with no separation and had an unusual drop. It’s even possible Josh was showing effects with that missed mckenzie pass as his throwing mechanics were off and that’s not like him the past year. He has been very accurate so either the pressure or physiology affected him. All I would say is you have to temper expectations in this type of climate coupled with all the prior and game time injuries ( Bedford , Kumerow and more ). It’s hard to be too upset with a two point loss while playing with so many guys who never get many reps. This was really an extreme situation similar to the New England first game last year. I can understand making mistakes normally not seen. This may carry over to the Ravens game as heat illness is slow to recover from and happens more easily on subsequent exposure. Going to be a tough stretch. I agree it’s hard to accept Bass missing a gimme. He certainly had no heat issues or excuses. The mistakes snowballed. . I thought crowder was good , made no errors , and made good decisions. They got lucky with a fantastic punt after the butt punt ! At least we had no blocking in the back etc penalties. My issues are the persistent running game failures; playing a soft d on 3 rd and 22 ( other teams dcs pressure the qb so long routes can’t develop yet Frazier choses to rush 3); rotating the backs so much that none really ever gets in any groove and you end up with 3 mediocre guys and finally quit doing shotgun snaps inside the 5 ! This is a throw away type result as no other game today was played in anything close to these conditions and it had a definite impact on performance and outcome. Just some thoughts as i feel your pain and my main concern is the injury issue is uncontrollable. We can’t expect great results playing backups to backups in the defensive backfield. Our RT situation also looks concerning. Hope you have a better week, and hope we get some healthy guys back.

Haha! Seems a little mild in comparison. Wouldn’t exactly call that a tantrum, he is not the Karen type ! I really like mcds personality as the face of the Bills. Temperament is always professional yet caring, and he gets it’s not just about football. . The players know tho if you make mistakes , you sit , and he’s been consistent. Levy will always be my favorite Bills coach, but I hope Mcd has a future and tenure like Tomlin has had. He is a perfect fit for the Bills and the community.

Good points , but you are cherry picking a little. Motor avg under 2 yards a carry. He was good in catching passes but his yac is not very good. Moss had two good plays over three games basically. Cook has potential , as a receiver, and his run game is yet to be determined. I don’t blame the backs. It’s three years now without an effective run game you can DEPEND ON in the red zone and short yardage situations. It results in all the pressure being on Josh and in the red zone the passing windows tighten and in critical , one posession games , other than the KC game, it has resulted in game losing mistakes. Until the Bills stop the rb by committee thing with guys getting less than 10 touches a game , I think we will keep seeing losses in one possession games. Even analysts like Jason Garrett said today the Bills are relying too much on Josh ; 90 offensive plays and losing is unheard of. When will this staff learn they need to do more to help these backs succeed? I agree with you that they prob have enough raw talent to be ok , but right now there is no possible way you can honestly say you can depend on this run game in critical situations. That also affects the passing game as it hurts play action. If you have to depend on blowouts to win , it’s unlikely you will win a Lombardi because most games in the NFL are not blowouts. .

I actually loved it. For once you see how much a guys job means to him and his passion for it. Would you rather see this genuine display or keep seeing pressers by Belicheck or even Mcd , that are the same bottled non informative crap every week ? 😀. It’s an emotional sport and it’s great to see a new young talent developing on our staff right before our eyes. I’m sure he will be fined and won’t do it again , but it was genuine today and he called 90 , yep 90 offensive plays ( compared to 39 for the fish ) and if they were executed as they should have been , we probably blow that game wide open. 😀. Looks great for our future.

Yep , reminiscent of Daboll. Bills have a short yardage problem and that goes hand in hand with being unable to run the ball with the running back by committee situation. The frustrating part is we have seen this over 2-3 years now and you would think they might have some solutions by now. Always losing one possession games is a disturbing fact. Josh is a true super star , yet with the game on the line in a final drive situation , other than the KC game he has shown a tendency to make a critical mistake and so far that’s the only area his vast improvement seems lagging. ( Tenn game slips, Houston playoff game crazy lateral and failed 4 th down conversion, todays pass into the ground missing mckenzie ) Too much is being placed on Josh in the red zone. I do realize all the flubs by the o before , two botched fg situations , dropped td pass, dropped pick 6 etc. The bottom line tho is you needed a final successful td drive to win and despite dominating TOP , yardage , etc, we failed in the red zone once again. These games can cost you playoff home field advantage and it feels like we gave one away today. I really believe the issue is they keep ignoring the failed run game. If you could run with any success , all that pressure on Josh in the red zone is alleviated. Widows are too tight inside the 10, 5 yard lines to keep relying on passing rather than some power runs. Fix that run game and I bet we start winning those close games. Hey without his heroics all game , we had no chance. I just wonder why he / the team struggles so much in short yardage and keep making execution errors at the most critical point in one possession games. Brady , nowhere near the athlete Josh is , was great with the qb sneak , and great on that game winning drive situation. Hopefully they figure this last little piece of the puzzle out as that’s the last step to a title. Maybe it’s just they need more focus in practice for that situation or maybe dorsey needs to get a little further away from the prior Daboll playbook. Try searching out a run game guru to bring in as a consultant because it’s years of having no run game outside of Josh. He can’t keep that up without risk of injury. Hope they learn , but we keep saying this. Love the team tho, great effort today.

There might be some very good news as the physical therapist (;banged up bills YouTube, cover 1 guy) posted he may only have a cervical herniated disc. He reported however it occurred when Hyde hit woods in the first game. Yet hyde didn’t go to the hospital until after the Titans game , so I’m not sure how you could be certain he sustained the injury in Rams game without having a mri done at that time. Something with the timeline or info coming out is a little weird. But this could really be a much better prognosis than I was thinking when they said he was def out until “ next year”.. when a disc herniates it can go forward ( toward the cord ) , to the side where nerves supply the arm exit the cord ( less dangerous or severe) or a combination of both ways. It can fragment as opposed to bulging so that has less of a chance to resolve without intervention. Still, if the cord isn’t being compressed, you usually have time if not in unbearable pain to wait and see what happens when the swelling from the initial herniation goes down. Going to surgery quickly is obviously a more aggressive treatment option., but if it’s just one disc , it might speed up things in the short term. Hyde may have wanted to go that route rather than the more conservative waiting period. I was concerned they were being so aggressive about surgery because they might have seen something more serious on the mri , like narrowing of the spinal canal or spinal stenosis, which is more urgent and progressive, and you have little choice about surgery. If the canal is not narrowed , Hyde actually has a much better chance to return , maybe even this year. That’s good news and first time I saw any definitive diagnosis stated ( not sure how the therapist got the mri info tho?). So if true and it’s just a single herniation , that’s really good for Hyde! The neurosurgeons I have talked too tell me they do that particular surgery so often it’s a simple , routine deal for them ( amazing professionals yet honestly they do make their living doing surgery and not by observing , just being open about it 😊). I’m not a pro athlete , so If it was me as a professional scalpel fearing chicken, I would have opted to wait it out some as there is no risk free surgery, but these athletes are fearless and driven to return to play. IF TRUE, this is the best case scenario for Hyde to possibly even get back sooner than next year, but more importantly, this could be great prognostic news for Hyde long term and my thoughts/ prayers go out to him for an uncomplicated recovery! Icing on the cake would be a Bills win today! Go Bills! 😀

Oliver is out as well.

Just got a flash from espn on my iPad that Poyer is also def out for tomorrow. What a bad time to be missing both starting safeties. Fins will be testing the inexperience def backfield for sure. I think the fins will have lots of confidence now and imo this will prob be a closer, higher scoring situation. Josh needs a mistake free game So pressure will be amped up. I think it’s a big ask to have your entire def backfield , plus our two best DT rushers gone for the game. Phillips may be gone a lot longer than they are admitting as it looked like his hammy could have torn watching him collapse. Will see , but worse case scenario playing a team in division, just gaining confidence , and playing down there with proven speed who has torched even our starters before. Injuries are piling up and to think you won’t notice half your starting d out is unrealistic. Still think we can win because of Josh , but if we have turnovers, it’s certainly possible to drop one here. Big emotional test for Mcd and team as well missing so many guys. This is a very unusual amount of injuries if you also consider Gabe not being 100%; I don’t recall a similar situation for us recently or maybe ever.

Lol. I said I have no feeling in my arms or hands , still have motor function and still walking thx to the surgery, but the surgery didn’t relieve my presenting symptoms and ended my career seeing patients. But hey , I’m 65, so it could be worse. I just added my own experience to show it’s possible Hyde might be done with football. Sorry it was long, had read lots of speculation on here and just thought I could add some insight having been thru a possible similar diagnosis, and unfortunately it’s not as simple as just have surgery and returning to play. 😊

While disc herniation is possibly involved , by way of chronic degeneration , the history and this incident doesn’t fit with that as the main issue. Usually an acute herniated disc is very painful and would have probably been causing issues even before the last game. There are no reports of this type of symptoms. Plus with an acute herniation , there are things you can do to help alleviate symptoms such as time , steroids , blocks , that could have perhaps not ended his whole season. The most likely situation ( and I am speaking about this both as a doc having seen patients with this and unfortunately experienced it myself which failed to improve after surgery and subsequently forced my retirement as I am left with no feeling in either arm or hands) is SPINAL STENOSIS in his neck ( cervical cord impingement). This is why an otherwise common or minor hit caused unusual NEURO symptoms for him prompting his hospital visit after the game. The cord sits in a Canal , surrounded by vertebral bodies with discs in between those vertebrae. With time ( and also things like chronic trauma such as football impacts , and genetic predisposition) the discs deteriorate and this triggers the body to lay down bone spurs around the area. Eventually the canal the cord sits in gets so narrow that the cord is impinged on and certain positions or movements ( Like hyperextending the neck on a tackle ) press on the cord and it places you in danger of permanent cord damage or even severing the cord. Depending on the level or how high the entrapment is , you become at increasing risk of motor loss , sensory loss, and of course , even paralysis like para or quadriplegia. The big key is YOU GET NO WARNING MOST OF THE TIME , AND THE NARROWING FINALLY REACHES A CRITICAL LEVEL , you start getting ongoing symptoms and you can experience neuro deficits with even mild movements that further pinch the cervical cord. Any hit could put him at risk of permanent paralysis or worse. It is diagnosed on MRI , and I would bet he was told the stenosis was severe enough that they told him he was at risk of paralysis if he was hit and his cord could be permanently damaged. So , it suddenly becomes a life and death , life quality issue , without much if any history of prior warning symptoms. Eric Wood retired because of this risk. The only solution is surgery , most commonly called an ACDF ( anterior cervical decompression and fixation), as the stenosis only worsens with time ( as opposed to a herniated disc which improves over time as swelling goes down ). The surgery involves going in from the front of the neck , removing bone spurs and deteriorated discs , placing cages to replace the discs which are usually filled with cadaver bone that grows and fuses in place over months to stabilize the space around the cord and limit neck movement , and they also place some stabilizing plates with screws as well. ( I had 4 levels done with 5 herniated discs , had no warning except two weeks before being diagnosed my arms went numb and I was in denial thinking I might be having carpal tunnel , no trauma , just chronic disc deterioration). It is a fairly uncomfortable surgery , requires quite a bit of time to heal as the bone grafts have to fuse, and there is no way you could play any contact sports until the neurosurgeon approves and they are certain there is adequate space around the cervical spinal cord. Even with surgery , there is no promise you could return to sports ( depends on how severe the condition, narrowing is and surgery result ) as it’s mostly about being sure you don’t become a quad or paraplegic in the future as you continue to age. If he’s lucky and it’s just 1 or 2 levels , he might have a chance to play next year, but that’s if things go perfectly. Time will tell of course. This is just for educational purposes about this condition as I have not seen his mri or heard results posted yet. But his sudden symptoms, what I saw during the game, his need for the hospital visit , desire to get second opinions, all probably stems from being told he has stenosis on mri placing his cord at risk, and he shouldn’t play without surgery and indeed, it could be life or career threatening if he doesn’t undergo corrective procedures. I suspected this would happen when he was a dnp at practice and he was seeking second opinions. It just fits with all we have seen , and the history and prognosis involving spinal stenosis. I really feel for him , as he was playing at a high level , but if the canal is so narrowed that a light hit caused symptoms, he was at risk of paralysis with a bad hit or even just worsening over time. It is a mechanical problem. It’s like pinching a garden hose cutting the flow of water, except here if the cord is pinched it can’t send signals below the level of stenosis and results in weakness, numbness or paralysis. I wish him nothing but the best as he is one of my favorite Bills on this team. I suspect he will undergo surgery sometime soon and we will probably hear about that. It’s not emergent surgery unless he suddenly deteriorated, but it’s the only mechanical fix ( there are a few procedures to chose from however). Please don’t attack me for just posting my OPINION based on observing his situation and also in knowing the history of this condition. It’s an educated guess without the mri , but it fits , and it explains why he needs to be on IR ( as opposed to a simple acute herniated disc). It’s a big blow for the team but his future is at risk. I hope he returns, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up retiring ( hard to accept that being thrown at you out of nowhere ). He is a class act and will be missed this year. You can’t replace his experience! 😊

Why should he “:be out” and what does that mean? Isn’t this an opinion board or are only the things you say or deem to be facts? Let’s just silence everyone with a diff opinion , why ever listen or try to learn or see a diff point of view, you are too smart for that right!? 😀. I love people who can say whatever they want but another’s opinion was “ embarrassing “. Closed mindedness is embarrassing and education usually can help. The only real judgement comes when edmunds is resigned or not; so far they have found new contracts for true stars like Josh and Milano and Von. Edmunds got the 5 th year offer so that tells me the real decision makers , Beane and Mcd , needed to see more. Pretty amazing for the big star LB you must think he is. It’s his 5 th year , about time he shows something. Give me the LB of the Cowboys from penn state as an example of a true impact LB , or look no further than Milano. Still , this is a message , opinion based forum , open up your mind a little as words on a screen can’t hurt you. Lol. 🍸

Kliff won’t be going. They said on the broadcast they just extended his contract for a few years ( I forget the exact number but the gyms contract was also extended to add continuity). This went along with the new contract for Murray as well, so they have a core group. Again m just repeating what broadcasters said during the chiefs thrashing them. ( btw KC’s offense looked amazing, better than ours w no turnovers and they had two new receivers replacing Hill andnew tight ends and at least two prominently used backs. 5 td pas / 360 yds passing ,44 points, seriously they looked more varied and unpredictable than with Hill. Kelce also had over 100 yds! They are dangerous ) Jerry was pretty upset about the o producing 3 points and they looked horrible on offense. They lack experienced, productive receivers. Without Dax they are toast , so firing their coach now makes little sense. Who would take that job with no NFL starting caliber QB ; I would expect them to let it play out coaching wise ( can’t really fire a gm can they , as they, the Johnson clan, approved this roster going in ) but they have to try.to bring in a QB I would think at a minimum for emergency backup , unless some prominent name is out there I don’t remember right now. After the 49 ers loss to the bears and Lances terrible performance, I doubt they trade Jimmy right now.. JMHO, but that’s what I heard discussed yesterday.

Great point Yolo , wonder which season we will see cook again!? Lol! You would have thought someone like his position coach or his brother would have clued him in , sent him a registered letter or whatever ( candy gram?) that if you put the ball on the ground there is a doghouse with chains you may never escape! Devin seemed to be doing ok so why switch those touches to moss seems to be a reach. Dorsey called a pretty flawless game in his first real action!, but those numbers on moss are a little concerning. What are your thoughts on the inactive players, any reason to change things as crowder / McKenzie look competent, yet I don’t get having Lawson inactive and I’m not sure he will remain happy with that as an ongoing role? I think cook will be worked with during this time before Tennessee, but I coikd see Lawson asking for a trade with many more inactive situations What do you think ?

This schedule on paper is Brutal. 5-2 would be very acceptable, 4-3 will remind me of last year as people remember Kc , but we almost didn’t get there. Not likely to blow these teams out so thise one possession games will be critical; can’t go 0-6 like last year. This is going to be fun but stressful at the same time. In the end tho , it’s. Entertainment and at least in my county in fl. , a certain plague is at the lowest levels since beginning so real life is even looking fresh. Feels weird starting on a Thursday night tho, surreal after such a long offseason after ending by coin flip. Have fun watching tonight ! ( side note, so weird / sad seeing Great Britain mourning tonight with all the craziness of worshipping a mortal who was born by chance into her position. I mention this because my own mom is 96 , born the same year and has witnessed all this history. My mom, knock on wood, still drives and lives alone when not staying with me in Florida. My aunt is 100 and still does her own yard work! I didn’t inherit those genes, but it’s amazing having family that experienced wars, landing on the moon, color tv, and now the internet with computers and YouTube! Love my mom, wields the authority like a queen , and I’m blessed she is still here after losing my father to lymphoma in 2002. With all the pc in the world and cancel culture it’s amazing watching all going on today in England. . The jags never draw like that so the monarchs still outdraw the shield! ) 😊

We have had so many free agents, so many promises ( I am 65, just forced to retire from 40 + years in medicine after 5 discs collapsed in.my neck while at work, trapped my spinal cord and then surgery failed to return feeling and fine motor use in my hands/ arms, so this has been a tough period as my health rapidly changed to a point that for the first time, I am not sure how many seasons are left to be a Bills fan ) , so many guys that were enticed with money to come to B Lo , and they all fell short in one way or another. They certainly all failed to deliver a championship. None of those big names really felt like a genuine part of the same mentality of the 4 SB team fraternity or part of the finest time in Bills history. Plus they were surrounded by less overall team talent as the Cap came in to effect and Black Monday happened with Thurman, Bruce, , Andre all gone and Jimbo had also hung up his cleats. That same championship feeling and product left for close to 30 years , as 94 was the last SB appearance. Then a 2 x SB champion gets 120 mil to come here and at first glance , it looked like just another guy cashing out before he retired to polish his rings earned in two other cities and franchises. But something unusual happened even he didn’t expect. He embraced the community, he embraced the past along with its near misses , he embraced the new team led by the new superstar and process driven coach. He got the money but this time it felt that meant less than being that final piece to the championship puzzle that would bring together Bills mafia from different generations and from many places around the world. That video looks like he gets it ; wide right , Music city miracle, and finally , 13 seconds that lasted an entire off season. Truly the most painful moments being a Bill or Bills fan! I know it sounds cliche, and even a little corny, yet this team has shown staying power , It has a core group reminiscent of those 90’s teams and Von looks like he feels at home and Understands the bigger picture and that cane thru in this video! it starts tonight and will be a long , hopefully memorable ride , and selfishly I hope they finally put all those other endings in a chest , lock it , and throw away the key so Bills fans can stop looking back and have great memories ahead to begin creating. That is a cool video and this feels like the superstars really do fit in with the community and are a part of the mafia. I hope it ends with a win this time and hope we are all around to enjoy every moment because this really might be the first time we remember with joy, “ I was ( insert location) when we had the confetti falling in Buffalo! Thx for posting the video, prayers to all those fighting health issues or those like Dawson still grieving the loss of someone close ,,,,,,,enjoy these moments and Go Bills!
