Run the ball.

Reminded me............I was at the game. Whoever was running the stats was inept. When the Bills put the first 3 up it didn't show on the scoreboard for at least 5 minutes and down and distance was often late/wrong. The stadium was amazing, the jumbotron was amazing, statisticians were poor.

Just watched it. The definition of "80's" movie.

Prophetic

I will give it to a KC couple who was watching the chiefs in a bar next to me while I was watching that dreadful Miami game who told me when their giant Mastiff dog went out to take a dump they called it a " our dog is making a football move" and I now use that regularly..........

Each year my friend Andy and I sail from the south end of Sodus Bay to sodus point and watch the game at a bar. It's usually opening day. We were 3 and 0 but this year because of Monday/Thursday and then being away for dolphins and ravens, yesterday we braved ridiculous winds to go 4 and 0. You are all welcome.

I have losing PTSD, so I get what the OP is saying. Getting so caught up in fandom that the football or hockey content isn't as important to protect myself from the inevitable. I expect disaster but hope for none. That's a peace I made with myself after the 3rd Superbowl loss. I also witnessed the Syracuse Orangemen win a national championship and it wasn't as big a deal as I'd made it out to be mentally after supporting them hard during the 80s and 90s. I'm in the "no matter what happens, this is fun" camp. I fear the darkness that will come if the team doesn't meet expectations.

Loved it. Back in the stone age there was a really bad song with the refrain "We're going to the Superbowl, yeah we're going to the Superbowl" I sing it every pre-season even in the Jauron years. Wish I could find a recording.

Negative mentors are what I call them. Learned as much about what I didn't want to be from them as I did from those I wanted to emulate. Rooting for this kid.......

Manuel #1. Mostly because the regime wasted two #1s on Sammy Watkins the next year to try and prove they hadn't reached for EJ. So I look at it as two wasted #1 picks. Tell me where my logic is wrong.

"It's hard to win in the NFL" Dick Jauron ☹️

No. Luckily the Sabres get me past this maddening time of year.

He lorded over the dumpster fire for all the dysfunction. The list of reaches he made are horrific. About the only thing I'd trust him with for a team is selling Hot Dogs.

If you are as old as me you would laugh at the remembrance of an old Don Shula going down in flames at then rich stadium. Feels familiar.

I took my daughter to that frigid game when the Death Star exploded. My emotions got the best of me and I couldn't speak in the second half. This is like watching the particles dissipate. It's glorious.

This thread makes my head hurt. For the first time in many years I have sustained optimism. We are playing relevant football in December and the future is bright. At the heart of McDermott's "process" is a driven to improve mindset. Take a deep breath and enjoy.

That looked less attended than a Sabres game........

Kent Hull and Thurman came to a small party I was at during the season in 92. Got pretty hammered with those two while the snow fell. Nicest guys. Laughed so much my face hurt. There limo got stuck and the host had to pull them out with a tractor. Those teams had high character guys and I feel the same about the current group. For all the skill Thurman had, his pass blocking was so lunch pail. Just a hard worker. Both were special.

We are never winning a Lombardi. I told my sad daughter that is what my 50 years (I'm 60 now) of Bills fandom looks like in one game. Also, F off.

I watch football on Fox and hold my nose. Same thing. Eventually the news will come from the Eye of Sauron and you'll all think you won while toiling in a pit.

You kids, in my day it was a 72 Dodge Dart, 3 on the tree. The back tires never stopped spinning.

"Might as well work on my 2022 resolutions. "

Are you defending Edmunds game today? Ugh.
