  1. With this weather, head to St Augustine (about 30 minutes south) and America's oldest city. It's worth it. If you get there really early, head down south a couple of hours to Kennedy Space Center. Not much in Jax itself, except the beach and it's too cold for that. The zoo is good, though.

    Oh yeah, just about 40 west is the Olustee battlefield where the South won one of its last battles.

  2. Can't compare the Steelers and Pats. The Steelers seem to earn their wins while something is just odd about the Patriots. Yeah, Brady and Gronk are really good and Belichek seems to have figured out something that works no matter what the personnel, but they are not like the old Dallas, Pitt or SF teams that beat you and you admired how good they were. I don't know what it is, but something doesn't smell right.

    The 2017 Buffalo Bills are not a playoff team regardless if they get there or not; IMHO they have a nucleus and the big test is the coming off season and the draft; that will either validate the process or give ammunition to the naysayers. Me, at this point I am trusting the process and the continuing restructure of the organization or culture. 17 years of poor, lousy drafts cannot be fixed over night.  Many years ago I had the good fortune of meeting the agent for one of the 1990 Buffalo Bills in Tampa; he spoke at length of the Bills as an organization and the winning professional culture; veterans wanted to go there.  They can turn it around, just not this year!

    I wonder if we would have even had the 90s Bills w/o the Greg Bell trade.

  4. The TD and the holding issues were the worst. The others can be justified. The D plainly gave up being only 7 points down. Good news is that the Pats are aging and w/o Gronk they can be beaten as Miami showed. We hung in with them on their field for 3+ quarters with a gutted team and a first year HC. Things are looking up, boys.

  5. I watched Benjamin all through his college time at FSU. He always made the catch in traffic that was needed. I bet Jamais is wishing he were in TB. They had a chemistry, for sure.

    The 90's Bills gave it their all on the field?

     

    Hardly.

     

    They played down to their level of competition a lot and had to rely on their supreme talent to bail them out quite often.

     

    And not just those days against feeble AFC East opponents or west coast road games.........the 91' AFC Championship at home versus Denver was the epitome of a listless effort.

     

    That team was incredibly talented and the depth was outstanding.

     

    Houston, Miami, KC, Oakland and Denver were not exactly feeble. The Bills were a lot better, though.
