According to Google, I'm a mere 1235.7 miles away. If I leave now I can be there by 5:30 am, traffic permitting. I suspect Google doesn't drive like me, though. I'm pretty sure I could make last call.

🤔 I can’t put my finger on it… 🧐 I wanna say there’s something that makes me think that Rodgers doesn’t really concern himself with random dudes’ critiques of his coif… what was that again… 🤷‍♂️ https://pagesix.com/article/aaron-rodgers-dating-history-ex-girlfriends/

Here's to you and Thoughts. Regarding 9, I was in Baaaaaston for the baptism of my godson... his father and I, being the devout WNY raised Catholics that we are, may or may not have cut out early to watch the game at a bar. If we in fact did ditch the gathering after the baptism, the look on Cheatriots fans pouting faces as they tried to explain away the loss would probably be one of my favorite Bills-NE*** memories, though for my own safety and that of my friend I will neither confirm nor deny that this event ever took place and if his family ever asks, to the best of my knowledge, he must have gotten stuck in traffic after dropping me off at the airport.

Josh Allen… I mean if having one is this awesome then getting the other should be twice as awesome, amiright?

FIFY

Not that he wasn’t on a loaded team, but Burrow elevated the level of play around him. He was hardly a system QB. He was orchestrating an NFL level passing attack under Joe Brady and he looked every bit the part of future NFL QB during that national championship season.

Had a friend in college named Pat Hunt that we used to call Patrick Michael... no idea what his actual middle name was.

Thanks for that succinct breakdown, Sheldon… …bazinga.

Man, I guess these guys were really peeved over the new "no doggie bags" restriction placed on the team's all you can eat buffet.

Actually, apparently Bad Santa has much more of a work ethic than his brother, he just flat out sucks as a coach. My bother-in-law's neighbor was on the Saints training staff when Otis was their DC. He apparently gave an intern $1000/wk to keep a drawer in his desk stocked with junk food. Despite appearances, and brother Wrex's well described lassitude, by all accounts he was apparently more of the stereotypical "last guy out of the building" workaholic type. I was wearing my Bills hat in a Rouses (think NOLA Wegmans light) when one of the butchers and I started talking football and he brought up the lesser known Ryan brother and his exploits. He apparently bought wine and spirits the same way he bought candy. Seems like he was quite the caricature.

Peanuts… wouldn’t that be more like China-ing up your coffee?

Hell, whatever it takes to gets the taste of the ranch out of your mouth.

Time to get to work starting some Christian Wade threads...

Given his reliable hands, there was probably a trail of food leading right to his parking spot.

So I guess I imagined that the NFC won 16 of 20 SBs in the 80s and 90s, including a run of 13 straight. And I suppose despite the lopsided scores and embarrassing performances in many of them, the AFC representative weren’t actually outclassed by a wide margin in many of those games. Because of this disparity there was a long stretch where the talking heads referred to the NFC Conference Championship as the “true super bowl”.

My point was Shula wasn't the same coach, and the Dolphins weren't the same team, after 1985. The most succinct way I can summarize it is to say from 1970-1985 his winning percentage with Miami was 0.727 and he made the playoffs in 12 of 16 seasons, with two of the seasons that he missed still being 10 win seasons; from 1986-1995 his winning percentage was 0.559 and he only made the playoffs 4 times despite having a HOF QB. The Bills rise certainly contributed to some of the losses, but it was not the same team as the one in the 70s and early 80s, and the numbers against the league as a whole, not just the Bills, bear that out.

Word on the street is his parents grounded him for not finishing his peas, so now he can't make it to NYC to sign the contract.

I don't think this makes the point you think it does. Don Shula, during Levy's tenure with the Bills, won a total of 3 playoff games and had a total of 3 double digit winning seasons... Miami was basically a 0.500 team with Shula at the helm despite a HOF QB behind center over the time Marv coached the Bills. It's not like he was going head to head against him in the 70s when the legend of Don Shula was cemented.

The AFC was a weak sister during his time. Someone from the conference had to make it. That roster was dripping with HOF talent and he underacheived with it due to stubbornness and hubris. "Read and react" was a complete waste of that defense under Walt Corey, and you have to give the opposing SB team some respect and not think you can just "out execute" a similarly talented team and win. That's a coaching problem.

I can't remember which Cowboy they interviewed in the "Four Falls of Buffalo" 30 for 30 but they mentioned how, despite dominating the first half of the game, the Bills looked listless and defeated going into the tunnel at halftime, like they didn't have anything left to give after the four SB runs.

Parcells, Gibbs and Johnson were all big game coaches. Marv... not so much. He can credit his HOF talent for getting him into the HOF, cuz it wasn't his coaching.

I joined a couple of years before Lori left. Her contribution and connections are definitely and most notably missed. There has been a lot of attrition of knowledgeable posters over the years, not just the ladies.

I also think Boomer Esiason may have mentioned it, possibly during a broadcast.
