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.

I don’t watch the games and I also don’t drink. Correlation or causation? 🤔Either way today's a good day for the first part

Well of course they’ll kill you before Covid. There is no vaccine or booster for Bills losses. 😁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.

Don't they have some high-tech device earpods or something you can wear that will translate? Like the UN. 😏
They got practically everything else.
I guess the deaf peeps will always be "othered" but at least it won't be by the mean old white man...
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.

In a 10-14 game you can't do this:
- Fumble a handoff on 1st and 10 at the Opponent's 29 yard line, with the wind at your back.
- Go from 1st and goal at the Opponent's 6 yard line to 4th and 14 with the game on the line.
- Miss a 33 yard field goal.
- Drop several easy first downs.
- Drop touchdowns.
That's why we lost. Not because Bill Belichick is a genius. Not because we are a worse team than the Patriots.
We shot ourselves in the foot in a game where the weather favored the Patriots style of play.
Simple as that.
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.

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.

Do you have any stats to back that up? Otherwise, your assumptions about the vast majority and the minority are just wild-ass guesses.
As far as the "cancel culture" quip, ask Colin Kaepernick about being canceled.

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.

Great piece, thanks for sharing. Side note to Beasley, put your tooth in before doing interviews.

Ties are lame. Why haven't they changed that yet? Just seems like a waste of time really.
Actually they have, several times. Until 1974 the game ended after 60 minutes, no OT except for playoffs. From 1974 until 2011 there was a 15 minute sudden death overtime. In 2012 the first possession must be a TD rule was added, if the receiving team scored a field goal they had to kickoff and the other team got a possession to tie or win. In 2017 the length of overtime was reduced to 10 minutes for player safety.

He ended apartheid in South Africa and freed Nelson Mandela (maybe everyone here can agree on something, namely that these were good things.) For those that never heard of apartheid or Nelson Mandela, take a history class.

"... and farther below Lake Ontario takes in what lake Erie can send her."
Love that song and proudly sing that line every time I head it. It's probably the only song I know of that mentions Lake Ontario or the region where I'm from originally. (Rochester.)
Apart from this song and "The Erie Canal", what other songs mention upstate NY?

Love Frank Gore but he does not need to risk any more concussions.
fixed now. Greg Williams was referring to Frank when he said "kill the head and the body will die."

Sadly you may be right. Lyle Alzado tried to return in his 40's because he missed the violence (interestingly he once fought Muhammed Ali.)

Time to adjust expectations was after week 1 loss to Pitt. Only thing to adjust now is your clock if you haven't already done so.

Didn’t read all the comments, but anyone know why it was DUI as opposed to DWI? He was twice the legal limit?
overall just sad for the deceased. This was so avoidable. People make choices and each one realistically can change your entire life…
"In the state of Nevada, all three terms DUI, DWI, or OUI are interchangeable and are used when discussing driving under the influence of either drugs or alcohol."
