  1. I am grateful to the OP for this sad but beautifully thought-provoking subject.  Like so many others, my Dad introduced me to the Bills (when I was ten.)  That was 1963 and I have watched every Bills game since.

    He died in 1984, so the golden-era Bills (for him) had names like Kemp and Cookie and Golden Wheels and Sestak and Shaw.

    When the Bills win this thing -- and they will -- and the game clock expires, I will instantly revisit a kitchen table holding a portable black and white TV, a white and red can of Genny beer and a green and gold can of Vernor's ginger ale.

    I'm jealous - you only had to take 4 years of Spanish 1?  Anyway, I tend to listen to Murphy and Eric Wood and turn the sound off on the TV.  There's generally a slight delay but I can usually get the TV and radio synched up....way better than CC....

    Is there a way to sync the radio and tv?  A method or a trick I can use?

    1 - Coaching - In our last three games against the Chiefs, it's hard for me to even evaluate how our players performed because I feel like we got out-coached that badly.  I don't know if it's a mentor/mentee thing, but it seemed like Reid had our playbook in his hands all game.  I recognize that strategy and playing to strengths/weaknesses is important, but I also believe in trusting you talent and going for it.  Yes, the Chiefs can be scary on offense and score at any time, but so can we!  Stop trying to pre-counter them before the game stops, punch them in the mouth, and show them Bills football!

  4. I listened to that show regularly when John Murphy was the host.  He was professional, informative, and often compelling.  Then Steve Tasker came along,  a primary source with an authentic voice.  As much as I now appreciate the efforts of all the podcasters out there, One Bills Live with Murphy was light years ahead of the rest.

     

    Then Chris Brown came along and I just can't listen.  I've got nothing against Chris Brown, so I chalk it up to chemistry.  'Tain't my cup o' tea.

    Except that the OP didn’t say “God” he said “a god”. If you have your panties in a twist over this it’s on you. 

    Except that there is but one God, however you spell or misspell.  One means one, capitalized or not.

  6. Just for the record,

     

    1.  I both love and fear God.

    I do not fear Josh Allen.

     

    2.  This poll is tantamount to taking God's Name in vain.

    3.  If you think I've got my panties in a bunch, over this particular topic I damn well do.

  7. It was at St. John Fisher,  the second or third training camp practice under this new coach.  It got hot and things got lackluster out there.  The players were going through the motions.

     

    McDermott blew his whistle and ran from position group to position group, directing everyone to the center of the field.  We couldn't hear what was said, but you could tell by McDermott's gesticulations that he was reading them the riot act.

     

    The players then hustled back to their position groups with palpably improved purpose and focus.  Some of us in the crowd, who had regularly attended training camp during the relaxed Rex Ryan years, sensed that we had just witnessed the changing of the guard.

    They play two different positions. Star is the only potentially legit 1T option we have, and he probably knows it.

     

    McDermott shouldn't be surprised that he finds himself "concerned" about meeting vaccination thresholds. The types of people he's seemed to tend to bring in during his tenure are also the ones most likely to have vaccine hesitancy.

     

    You must mean winners instead of the losers we endured for 17 years.
