  1. Same. I was sad when the video was over. Surprised that came from the Mafia Sports Report. Can’t stand that show. You’re not that dude are you? 🤣 😘
  2. I’m about there too. We can be 1-5. Kc, Philly, Cinci, SF and Buffalo are my top 5 not in any particular order. Each team can be the best on any given Sunday. But we won’t be the best if the weather sucks. Ask Dirty 😉 #NoDome?
  3. Trent is JACKED! I thought it was Lorax when I saw his triceps. Dorian looked like a specimen Harty looks fast af Kincaid doesn’t run. He “gloats”. Glides+floats. great to see Damar out there running around doing football activities. I couldn’t be happier for the young man.
  4. I’m a hometown fan. If it’s not a Buffalo team, then I’ll root for my favorite players and teams that enjoy watching. I’ll always stick with the Bills and Sabres. With regards to the NBA, it starts in college. I root for Carolina players in the NBA. With Barnes on his way out and (and not being very good rofl) I think my next NBA team will be whichever team drafts Elliot Cadeau in the 2025 draft.
  5. And I still don’t understand why it’s “needed” to temper expectations. Need would signify that if you don’t do this, then there will be a negative outcome. What is the negative outcome that will arise if I don’t? Your answer is: that I’ll judge the OC? Or put blame on someone? 🤷🏻‍♂️ that just doesn’t seem like any reason to “need” to do something. Maybe if it had a negative impact on the team…. Like the reality that was spoken of, I could understand. I don’t understand the need when the only negative outcome comes in the fashion of my thoughts
  6. Agree with all but the last paragraph. I’m going to judge everything about bills related just as I do every year. I know where I’ll look first if our offense is lacking. 1st: the OL. If the OL is getting wrecked, it’s tough to do anything with great success. If the OL isn’t terrible and the offense is still 💩 2nd: Dorsey- it’s his offense. It’s his responsibility to make sure it’s firing. 3rd: it’ll most likely be my fault. My expectations clearly caused our sucktitude. If Kincaid isn’t producing but our offense is humming, I won’t be upset. Minus injury, just don’t see how isn’t going to be a key contributor this year and a star in the future.
  7. I’m sure. We were on top of almost every “best team” list. Means nothing in may. Gotta wait to see what the nfl gods have in store for everyone come January. The gods were not kind to us last year. We can only hope that they are this year. Lots of luck involved in a Lombardi winner
  8. Giphy, come back to me!! How dare you leave me when I need you most! Best post I’ve seen in 20+ years. 👊🏻 The people have spoken!
  9. Is Brock Purdy off the team suddenly? He was undefeated and looked pretty good. He’s not elite and is a product of the system, but he runs the system very well and their O was rolling people since he took over. With him as starter, they scored 33, 35, 21, 37, 37 38, 41 and 19 in his starts. Their D was clearly the best in the league. I think they’re extremely well balanced….. they don’t need an elite QB to get them there
  10. One thing is for sure- no one had the chiefs as the most compete team to begin the 2022 season. Means nothing
  11. Oh noooooo!!! Matt Milano hates Josh Allen too? 🤦🏻‍♂️
  12. I guess I can relate. The backstory: I’ve always been a huge basketball fan. The UNC Tar Heels beating Georgetown in the 1982 title game was the game that really got be excited. I fell in love with the Tar Heels and James Worthy that game. I also formed a dislike for Patrick Chewing. I didn’t have an nba team at the time so when worthy was drafted to the lakers, they became my team. As Worthy retired, in came Kobe a year later. I would consider myself die hard for sure. I’d take off work in order to watch playoff and finals games. I went to a couple playoff games. They remained my team until the Lakers signed dwight Howard. For whatever reason, I had always hated. Dwight howard. I thought he was a joke (albeit a very good rebounder and defensive player) that didn’t want to be great and I couldn’t take him seriously. they also traded for Steve nash and named Mike dantoni the HC. 3 moves that I couldn’t get behind and found myself not being able to root for them. While at the same time, my favorite UNC basketball player, supposed Tar Heel savior and #1 rated HS player, Harrison Barnes had been drafted by the warriors that same offseason. I’d watch both teams’ games to start the season. After a couple weeks I found myself not watching laker games and watching every GS game. OT just happened. 30 years of being a laker fan was over and I was a big warrior fan. I went to 3x as many warrior games as I did laker games over the next 4 seasons. Wore their gear. Took off work to watching playoff games. I was all in on those teams. I was die hard for sure…..until Barnes rebuffed the warriors contract extension, wanting more $ while also choking on his in the finals and forced the team to move on and snag KD. Barnes signed Dallas and they drafted luka after a couple bad season. I watched their games and Luka became one of my favorites. I liked the team, but wasn’t really excited about them. Then Dallas traded barnes to Sacramento where he and the team had wallowed in its suck for 3 years before finally getting things together this year. Since the trade, I had been rooting for Dallas and Sacramento for the last few years but I seldomly watch regular season games. Definitely not die hard for either team. So I know what it’s like to be a die hard and a casual. I know that it’s possible to be die hard for 2 different franchises playing in the same league (but not at the same time of course). I have definitely been a die hard lakers and warriors in my lifetime. If Buffalo still had an nba team, everything would’ve been different. Rooting for your home town team is different. If you don’t have a home town team and love the sport you can find a way to become die hard for a team….. but without the family roots, I don’t think that bond is very strong and can easily be broken. living in Vegas for the last 20+ years, i can’t stand the VGK or the Raiders. I’ll always be a Bills and Sabres fan as long as they remain in Buffalo. Eager to see if I jump to the A’s (when they arrive in Vegas) and leave the Yankees behind. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  13. Interesting. I figured they’d keep them where they’re comfortable, have developed muscle memory and have had success.
  14. Oh dam. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  15. Thanks- Much appreciated
  16. Do you think they’ll move Torrance to LG and McGovern to right?
  17. yeah donte wasn’t bad. I thought he was an above average safety with us who was a better fit in SF. tackling with his back….don’t remember tbh. He was a big hitter for sure
  18. Donte was the toughest pill to swallow with Ngata sitting there waving
  19. and yet again- you fail answer the question I asked. Why do WE (as fans) NEED to temper our expectations? What will happen if they don’t live up to my expectations? maybe one day lol. I’ve been warned and put in timeout my fair share. maybe they see the truth in what I’m saying. Your weak baiting techniques are powerless against my power. Back to ignore you go.
  20. Thanks- you on IOS?
  21. I don’t think he was playing like a top 5-10 corner before his injury in 2021.
  22. Just make sure that you temper your expectations…… or else!!!
