Hopefully we make up for it in the playoffs and overperform by 2+ wins.

Well, according to Joe, as he said in yesterday's press conference, there's a lot of reasons to be hopeful in 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt_8HJss1Co

So quality of life is the key. As stated in my answer, both my parents lived past 100, 95 will be just fine. Both golfed until 92 and had 3ish decent years after that. Who wouldn't sign on the dotted line for that? The last 7 years, well, I just kept telling their North Carolina grandchildren not to come to visit, it isn't how they would want to be remembered.

So Milano is our best Linebacker. Tried to resist the temptation to say in other breaking news the sky is blue, water is wet, and Princess Di is still dead, but I just couldn't.

Mom died at 101yrs, 246 days - Dad at 100yrs, 282 days. Mom had broken her hip or she would likely still be here. At Mom's 100th birthday party one of the guests commented that it was the first 100th birthday party he'd ever been to - told him it was the second one I'd hosted in the past year and a half. At any rate 95 will be just fine, I've seen 100, don't care to make it.

Totally agree Diggs counts as a first round pick. As to trading up for a prime target, rather not. Using 2020 as the baseline as that's where the Diggs pick comes in to play, had we stood pat at 22 and gone wide receiver, we would likely have taken Justin Jefferson who was the 5th WR taken in that draft and has to date been the most productive - the only one with stats that surpass Diggs. Instead of trading up for an unproven rookie Beane traded out for a proven player which so far has proved to be the better decision. Prefer this route to trading up for an unknown when you can just stand pat for a different unknown that may prove to be better that the one you traded up for.

re why - might be a playoff opponent re couldn't care less - If a topic doesn't interest me I simply scroll past it. That way I'm not open to sarcastic remarks.

I'll be happy with 2 out of 3 this year

Here's the Allen trip. Hope he gets fined.

It's what almost everyone calls me

If I wasn't depressed before I sure as hell am after listening to this

I thought this thread was going to start with "Here me out.."

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/denverpost/name/michael-blanchard-obituary?id=8793878 Someone posted this here back in 2012. Not as funny as Renay's but still a good one. I'll toast both Renay and "Flathead" tonight!

Biden for the year, but the past 24 hours go to Meyer.

The game was a microcosm of being a bills fan. First half - almost unwatchable a la teams of the late 60's and late 70's, mid 80's, and first decade and a half of this century. Second half - excitement and reason for hope, a la OJ in his prime years, early 80's Knox teams, late 80's and 90's Kelly etc. teams, and of course the McBeane era. OT - Great comeback only to have our hearts ripped out at the end...Ferguson delay of game, Harmon drop, HR throwback, and of course 4 SB losses to name just a few. The feeling after the game was familiar to long time Bills fans. For those that have become fans during the past two decades, well, get used to this feeling. Why did Dad have to move to from Mass. to Western NY before starting a family, I could have been a New England fan.

Either way today's a good day for the first part

Vaccine - the 6 pack I drink before the game. Booster - the 3 or 4 I drink following the game. Not a cure, but makes the symptoms less severe.

Add great sense of humor to all the other qualities mentioned above. RIP

Um...you may want to patent this idea before some techy makes a couple million off of it. Like I told my nephews when they asked me for a million dollar idea, you don't need that, what you need is a one dollar idea that a million people want.

Fact is we did the things you said we couldn't do. New England didn't do those things. Loss was precisely because on Monday we were a worse team than the Patriots. Other than that I agree with everything.

Can't help but think that the drought would have ended right then in 2009 had we activated Freeman and sent Maybin to the practice squad. Guess we just had too much invested in Maybin.

Starting from the beginning: Gas/tolls, $30 Parking is cheaper in Orchard Park than most places, $30 (hopefully the passenger pays) Food/beer - $40 Call it $100 a day per person and you'll have a real nice tailgate and probably have change. I don't drink in the stadium, that can really add to the beer total. Less than a dinner date. Houston we have a problem

Countless 5 mile and 10K's until my mid 50's, past decade I've stuck to the ellipticals at the gym. Just make sure you work your way up to the 5K, need to get your body used to taking the beating that running puts on it, which is why I gave it up 10 years ago. Wouldn't want to tear and Achilles tendon at this stage of the game. Going straight to a 5K on a cold day without working your way up is textbook for a bad ending.

Myself and I would expect the vast majority of Americans agree with you. Unfortunately the current environment (believe it's called cancel culture?) dictates catering to the minority to avoid offending anyone. Not sure why both Canadian and American National Anthems are broadcast on TV for hockey but not the NFL. On another note, thank you for your service.
