Hence the old expression: "Justice delayed is justice denied". At the end of the day, if it has dragged on this long, the dude probably has enough money to file motions and extend the process.

It works for politicians, why not head coaches? Not that I agree with the take, I just couldn’t resist with the ball sitting on the T.

My conspiratorial self truly felt like that bullpuckey “inconsequential stoppage” was the officials trying to give the Dolphins D a rest in that moment.

I had the same thought. That was just karma coming around.

Good Times! I did that Saratoga run a time or two as well back in those days.

I suspect I am aging myself here but I don’t give a triple F, I miss the Arc in Watervliet. I don’t know if that place is even still around but at one point, before DirectTV, or even the internet, it was the only bar in the Capital region that had all the games, so it felt like anyone who rooted for a team that wasn’t the Giants or Jets that lived within 45 min. would watch the games there. I don’t miss the place itself so much as the experience, as they twice food poisoned my buddy who would often join me on the trek from MA. undercooked sausage and pepper subs will get ya!. It was a big time sports bar before that was even a thing. Irrelevant to this discussion but good memories.

I remember that game though I never saw more than the Berman highlights. I was at a show at some club in either Hadley or North Hampton, MA. Pretty sure it was Sacred Reich / Violence / Flotsam & Jetsam. Through the years, all the shows start to bleed together, but I digress... Vio-lence was definitely on the bill. I know this because they are a bay area band, and the guitar player Raiders jersey and a bunch of their crew were sporting their Raiders gear as well. Naturally, I was wearing a Bills hoodie and standing in the front row. They must have come on around halftime because when they saw my sweatshirt, the guitar player and the singer gave me crap about the Raiders leading and how the Bills would get blown out in the second half. After making a point of announcing the 3rd quarter Marcus Allen rushing TD, I was the recipient of more crap talking in between songs. Somewhere near the end of their set, one of the crew must have given another update because the score updates and crap-talking stopped. The club we were at didn't have any TVs with the game on, so before they left the stage after the set ended I asked for the score. Glares commenced from some of the crew, and a surly Phil Demmel informed me "the bad guys" made a comeback. Thanks for the flashback!

I haven't lived in the Rochester area for decades but the bit about Pittsford, Brighton, Gates, and Webster sounds about right. I laughed out loud when I read that.

As I've been reading this thread and the mild debate regarding the need for Josh to make better decisions and take what is given I keep thinking about Tom Brady. He took receiving rooms with way less talent on paper than what we have in Buffalo right now by simply dinking and dunking through the first 2-3 quarters, and then taking the kill shots late in the third or early in the fourth when defenses got sucked in to try and shut down those death by 1000 cuts type of passes. At the time it was so frustrating to watch Brady do that to the Bills and other teams. At the time I thought it was Belichick's modernization of Parcell's "3 yards and a cloud of dust." Instead, it was 3 yards and a thud all the way down the field.

Thanks for the song bomb! Now I have Machine Head's "Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies" looping in my head.

Mrs. Faderphreak, just confirmed that we have our tickets and that she took the liberty of upgrading to sideline tickets. Please keep all of the tips coming! Neither of us has ever been to London, so this is as much about experiencing a new place as it is about the game.

This was one of my first thoughts when the pick came in last night. Everyone else was going for the smaller slot guys that seem to make up the bulk of the top rated receivers this year. The Bills instead went for a 6'4, 240 lb. slot receiver. After that debacle against Cincy where the Bills were getting bullied at times, they needed to get bigger and stronger. So instead of getting banged around and shut down, as has often been the case with our own smallish slot receivers have when the refs decide to swallow their whistles, DK2 will hopefully be much harder to take out of the game and unlike Lil Dirty, be consistent with those catches. To NoSaint's point there is a long history of traditional TEs taking a hot minute to get up to speed in traditional TE roles. I agree that premise that Kincaid was basically brought in for his hands, his ability to run a full route tree, and basically be WR #3. I've read how he will need work as a blocker but I'm ok with that when I consider that just in size alone he will be harder for many of these LBs to get around than Mckenzie, Bease, etc.

They are in Oahu so I wouldn’t be surprised to find a place in Muai when you dock. We watched Bills v. Dolphins to see in Sept. We got there by 06:30 and there was a line behind us before the doors opened slightly before 07:00. Ironically, we were chatting with a Philly fan in line who runs one of the private schools and he was telling us that his school played against Tua's and Tua was either really good or really bad even then.

Perhaps too much heat would be better? Make those thin blooded south Florida bodies have to deal with an 60 -79 degree temperature swing at the start the second half.
