I'm not sure of the timing, but it's one of three things:
-Ronnie Harmon's drop against the Browns is definitely the first memory I have from a game...
-I played against Darryl Talley's son in Little Loop and he signed my game program,but that would have been a year right around the Harmon catch. I was definitely in awe, the largest human I had ever met at that point. He was really nice to all the kids.
-Getting Jim Kelly's autograph in the back corner of a Toys R Us (it was a scheduled signing). I remember him wearing a canadian tuxedo. Still have that ball on display in my kids room with a few other training camp autographs through the years.

Couple things; Miami makes the playoffs if they stuck with Fitz...
and it feels so awkward being so effing good. Unreal!

Well the Covid protocols are going to make it hard for out-of-staters to attend.
https://www.buffalobills.com/tickets/playoff-tickets-faq
First off, you have to arrive 2-3 days early to get tested. Then you're supposed to quarantine for 10-14 days prior, which basically impossible at this point because the playoffs are 9 days away.
I think the new laws are 3 day quarantine as long as you have proof of a negative test within three days prior to your arrival in NYS. So, you could test out of state, arrive 3 days prior, get the Lot 4 test, and then attend the game, if I'm thinking correctly?

Hey man, Rootie's on Westport Rd is the Bills Backer bar here. Across from the Ford plant. Great wings (for KY), decent food. Haven't been for a Bills game as I have Sunday Ticket but it's a decent sports bar - bar food, lots of TV's. Not sure what it's like during COVID but it's huge inside so social distancing shouldn't be an issue and they have a small patio out back (not sure if there are ample TV's out there).
And welcome to Louisville! I think there's about 4 or 5 of us Bills fans down here now...

Ah, crap. Looks like I am 11 hours too late but if still possible I'll take a general spot, arriving around 2. If not - no worries, we'll hope there's still space!
-
No luck with home opener.
-
I would have preferred Gay kick it out of the endzone more. A couple were returned and went past the 20 yard line.
Fwiw those kicks were into a pretty fair wind. Every kick with the wind was through the end zone.
-
1 general spot, please, if still possible!

Extremely tough day to say goodbye to Fred. I bought a custom throwback Jackson jersey at some point his rookie year after the Washington game. Loved his effort, loved the guy, love an underdog. I had to be one of the first 50 people to get a Freddie Bills jersey! I wish him luck anywhere, even NE, and even against us as long as we win (especially at the ralph).
I tend to believe I enjoyed rooting for a mediocre team filled with guys I loved - Fred, Fitz, George Wilson, CJ, even Stevie.... more than I might a winning team with Percy, Richie, and LeSean...

Per Ian:
"@RapSheet: Hadley Engelhard, agent for #Bills WR Mike Williams, has been given permission to gauge interest in a possible trade from Buffalo."

So if a team isn't my very first favorite team and I still really like the team, I can't still be a fan? Oh crap! That stinks. Well, for now, the bills have a better record than tampa so they are my favorite team this week and thus, I am fan this week! So there!
No. You can't. Very first favorite team? Nope.

Just picked up a projector to watch in the basement. Food: some combination of Johnsonville Brats and Italian Sausage.

That's good, but my favorite nickname he had was: He Ate Me.
All joking aside, it's good to see that he's still playing.

I used to say forward lateral but I really think that MFer was on a perfectly straight line. We would have had a real shot that year too.

Two years ago he wrote a column shaming the Bills to extend Stevie Johnson. Now he's says the Bills overpaid him. Jerry's memory is a little fuzzy these days.
http://www.buffalone...stevie-20131211
But not really. Jerry knows he wrote a column in support of Johnson. But he doesn't care because, as he pointed out to me in an email he sent to me, it's his job to write about the moment, even if the moment contradicts what he wrote earlier. Years ago I wrote Jerry a chiding email over a column where he blamed Tom Donahoe for drafting that stiff Mike Williams. (The tackle, not the WR.) This even though Jerry lavishly praised the pick and Donahoe after that draft.
It irks me. Are you not irked?

I agree with him in this article, so this answer is biased. But, it's gotta be tough to have every opinion you've ever felt forever out there on the internet.
I don't think he's implying that it was a mistake to pay him at the time, just that now it's potentially time to move on. At least, that's the overall feeling I got from it.
I think they should keep Stevie and try to draft a legit #1 (if Bridgewater is not around at our pick). But, I don't disagree with Sully's overall sentiment.

Just liked Tuel this preseason... figured I'd get a third stringer jersey once he made the 53. I'm a backup QB whore.
PS... I'll now sell his jersey to the highest bidder before the end of the commercial...
-
What is sadder?
a) That I have a Jeff Tuel jersey?
b) That he already changed his #?
c) That we would have won this game with a healthy Thad Lewis?
Not that I don't have faith in Tuel, obviously...

Yep, I said it. This is not part of the unpopular opinions thread. I went to start a post in the adults section about football and realized it's too good not to post to be ridiculed, mocked and laughed at here. So, have at it. I am not out to make some campaign that he's as good as he is or try to start some big feud. I am just taking some stats I find. It started with all the stuff I saw about Lynch, it continued from this past off season when I kept saying how good Jackson is and got mocked saying so many other backs are better. Well, I am back to say it again. Fred Jackson is a top 10 back for sure, and IMO likely a top 5 back in this league.
Either way, I got me a gripe. Marshawn f'ing Lynch? Yes, I realize how he went on to revitalize his career in Seattle. I am sure not much has changed. Maybe it is going unreported and Pete Carrol is a bit of a slouch on the toughness. He did coach at USC, after all. I do not think Marrone would take his crap, though. I would have still liked to had him on this team. Lynch and Jackson on this team and not Spiller. DE's Pierre-Paul, Brandon Graham, WR's Demaryius Thomas, even Dez Bryant were available and we needed DE's and WR's in 2010. We drafted Spiller. But, I'm glad he is here and I really like what he brings to the table.
This brings me to my biggest point. Fred Jackson. This guy is the most unappreciated player in the NFL. He has his fans, myself among them, who realize he is one of the top 5 most important backs in the league. Obviously, AP is #1. But, you know AP is going to run it down your throat every single time and you won't expect much else. He'll catch some and he might block now and then. Fred Jackson might not be as good as AP but he is more consistent on all levels contributing to his team more by being a much more well rounded player on a team that has more then one dynamic. Earlier in the off season I was mocked for saying Fred Jackson is better then Alfred Morris. I knew Morris was a byproduct of RGIII. RGIII is struggling this year and Alfred Morris is, too. Fred Jackson on that team might struggle, too. But, their stats are not that far off. Yes, I get there are 50 yards of difference but Morris does not split the carries like Jackson.
Morris: 72 carries, 377 yards, 3 TD's
Jackson: 75 carries, 344 yards, 4 TD's
Look at other backs on that top 15 list. Fred Jackson is number 16 in total rushing yards.
McCoy has 123 carries, 5.1 average gain
Lynch 138 carries, 4.2 average
Foster 117 carries, 4.5 average
Peterson 102 carrries, 4.7 average
Gore 103 carries, 4.6 average
Charles, 114 carries, 4.2 average
Forte 100 carries, 4.4 average
Murray 91 carries, 4.7 average
Martin 116 carries, 3.5 average
D. Williams 91 carries, 4.3average
Morris 72 carries, 5.2 average
Bush 78 carries, 4.8 average
Moreno 80 carries, 4.7 average
Powell 87 carries, 4.2 average
Spiller 84 carries, 4.2 yards
F. Jackson 75 carries, 4.6 average
It is pretty safe to assume if Jackson got more carries as was the single back on the team his average would go down. Ok, so lets say he gets a meager 4 yards per carry. Lets take the top 15 backs and average their carries that is roughly 100 carries. 100 carries for 4 yards a carry Fred Jackson has 400 yards and becomes the 10th best RB. Ok, that's still not good enough for me to convince anyone he's a top 5 back. I have no way to grade his blocking against other RB's, but I am sure we can all admit he COULD be among the top 5 blocking. That he COULD means you admit there is reason to continue this...
Receiving yards are different...
35. Sproles
54. Charles
65. Woodhead
66. Bush
72. Joique Bell *yeah!
73. Forte
76. McCoy
106. Pierre Thomas
107. Ellington
109. Moreno
114. Foster
117. Lynch
120. Jackson
That puts Jackson at 13th in catches for RB's.
(CJ Spiller has only 40 yards receiving from 11 catches).
Jackson has received 57% of the offensive snaps for the Bills @ 39 snaps. http://www.footballo...tats/snapcounts
That is 23rd most among RB's.
Charles - 60
Lacy - 59
Gore - 57
Forte - 57
Foster - 56
Moreno - 54
Bush - 52
Lynch - 51
Bernard - 50
McCoy - 50
C.Johnson - 50
McFadden - 49
MJD - 49
L.Bell - 47
Rice - 46
Martin - 45
D.Williams - 44
Helu - 43
Mathews - 40
Jackson - 39
That's 20th for Jackson. Look to the lists above...Jackson has had less playing time then almost all of those RB's and still contributed more. Those who have:
Forte is an all around stud back. He has the runs and the pass catching ability that makes him amazing. His blocking is average, from what I know.
McCoy is doing very well, too. From what I remember, he lacks in the pass blocking, though. He isn't lighting it up with the chances to perform, though, compared to others who are not as good as he is. 50 snaps.
Lynch, well we all know him. He's very good and average to above average pass protecting when he wants to do so. He has a ton of carries and lots of snaps,
Foster is pretty good all around, he's having a hard time blocking boneheaded Schuab in Houston, though. Not his fault, neccessarily. But, he has a lot more carries, and significantly more snaps.
AP only has 73 yards receiving. And, well, he's not a great blocker. He's still a better back because he runs so damn well. He also has less snaps then FJ - 37.
Well, anyway, you get the point.
There are a few players in the league who have had done more with less or on the same scale as Fred Jackson.
Oh, and there is also this, where Football Outsiders ranks him the 5th back in the league.
I agree 1000%, perhaps blindly, but like you I don't care. The guy is a total football player, one of the best.

Am I the only one that thought the offense looked the best it has all year today? Hackett drew up plays that actually worked to CJ's strength. He dialed up some great pass plays and we were again able to get over 100 yards rushing on a solid run D. Maybe it's the result of having Thad and/or Goodwin out there, but I actually had faith in this squad to get down the field. I didn't like the 4th down call on the goal line, but it's not his fault Freddy couldn't get in there the first 3 plays. Our OT drive was screwed up by Cordy's false start, but I don't think 2 run plays on 1st and 2nd down was the right thing to do.
Absolutely. Some Thad, some Hackett. Best game of the year IMO.

FWIW:
VERIFIED INFO...FA QB Josh Freeman will sign with Buffalo Bills and will likely start next Sunday's home game vs Bengals...(6:13p)PST
Sigh... They also took the Texans +7.

Looked like a Hackett playcall on 3rd and 1 there.

Russ is cheap.

Easley is not PS eligible.
