Pathetic.

Another beautiful fall day, looking wasted.

This. I went to games in the late '70s, '80s and '90s against that team. First game I ever attended, in fact, Stanley Morgan caught two TDs from Steve Grogan and we got whipped. Their fans? They were fine. It was never a big deal. There were barely any of them to begin with. But in the last 15 years, that all changed. Time for them to find a new place to go. Have worn Bills gear at the old Meadowlands (Jets), Arrowhead, Texas Stadium and FedEx Field. Rarely had a problem. There was that time though at the Meadowlands when Kelly hit Thurman to win the game with about 11 seconds left and I turned around and raised my arms to the crowd in triumph. 46-year-old me doesn't understand 21-year-old me sometimes.

I remember what that was like. On the plus side, most of those people haven't come to the games since Flutie left.

If the last 15 years taught you anything it is to enjoy the good times, because they do not last. I am old enough to remember much of 0-for-the-'70s against Miami, the brief Talkin' Proud resurgence and the really bad mid-'80s. I started college right about when the worm started turning (1987) and I'll tell you, it didn't take long before people who were once just happy to get a win started carping that we didn't win by enough or go 16-0. These were also the people who thought Reich should start over a healthy Jim Kelly (and there were a lot of them), and their kids are probably the ones who called up WGR on Monday morning to complain. I'm not saying I never complained after a win, but I'm glad that I knew enough back then to appreciate what we had. Yeah I worry about the other shoe, but assuming things are REALLY getting good (and I think they are), I plan to enjoy every minute.

Such bull ****.

Are you kidding me with no call there?

He had Sammy wide open and overthrew him.

I'm ok with personal fouls, but #1, pick your spots, and #2, do some damage. Nothing right in front of the ref, nothing ticky-tack.

After spending all summer watching baseball (which has by far the most competent officials) it's a little jarring to watch these assclowns in stripes.

The refs wouldn't even tell us who the call was on.

Brooks you idiot.

Nice clock management

Stupid.

Exactly. Hope we're just playing possum.

Watkins? Woods?

Luck was running for his life there lol

Good challenge.

At this point they have gotten into everyone's head. They're like, well, everyone thinks we cheat anyway, so let's give them even more to think about. It reminds me of Gaylord Perry going through that elaborate routine of touching his cap, ear, cheek, jersey before every pitch. Then when the umpire comes out to take a look, they can't find anything on him. And the story of former Chargers coach Harland Svare yelling at a light fixture in the locker room, "Damn you, Al Davis, I know you're in there!"...and then when reporters asked Davis about it, he just chuckled, said, "the thing wasn't in the light fixture, I'll tell you that," and walked away. Shame on Mike Tomlin and the rest of us for not seeing this coming.

Also, if he goes to court the first thing he has to do is turn over his phone in pretrial discovery.

The lawyers must have been high-fiving each other after finishing that. They actually got paid good money to sling that load of horseshit. And I love how the TBD filter has never caught that word.

Except the crack Pats/Brady legal team DID make this stuff up. That one ridiculous assertion blows their entire defense out of the water. Do they have any idea how stupid they sound?

That's one of the best parts. He was probably looking for an answer that would show he was out in the open, visible to anyone who might walk in.

That is exactly it. In the report it stated that officials are usually out of the room for about a 20-minute stretch attending to other pre-game duties, and the room is set up in such a way that the officials' room attendant (in this case McNally) would have complete privacy with the footballs during that time period. But for this game there were a lot of other people in the room.
