Bud, wasn’t trying to crap in your cornflakes. It’s why I often don’t even bring up those old miseries. Who knows if we could’ve beat I think the Rams that year, but we had the defense to give them a run. As I hear in church, to turn the other cheek is hard. My feeling brother is let’s just focus on the future and hope these current changes mean something.

I’m not watching a Dunne podcast. He can say whatever he wants. He’s just looking for clickbait, which is basically a hot take artist. McD’s is gone and been gone since January. It would be great to think it’s some personal vindication of his opinions, but it’s simpler as a point of reference. He needs views. Who cares? What happened to gaining credibility, by trusting but verify. Just find proper sourcing vs. trying to just make $. McD’s won us a ton of games, and we made the playoffs after a long playoff drought. I don’t have a problem with moving on from McD’s and happy to give Brady and Leonard the benefit of the doubt. How Petula did it and the horrible press conference was embarrassing. Just drill another hole Terry. Let Beane do the talking. I’ve said in other threads, McD’s is meant for the Cards, Jet’s, or even the Bucs, my newer home city. He can take a culture and construct a great team. He’d need an owner that will give him time. It’s yet to be seen if he can not just cheat a recurrent playoff team and division winner, but actually get a shot at the SB.

Essex, I think you've mentioned before your over in GB. So, you may or may not heard, it was the applied math group with at RIT, or U of R that definitively proved it was a forward pass. It was not a lateral. The real mistake given we had by far the #1 defense in the league, and the Bucs were a distant second. Ralph in his infinite wisdom decides to pull Flutie who won us all those games to get there, and force Wade to put in RJ. That was the year in the beginning of the season RJ lost the first two, and was losing the third when Wade finally manned up and pulled RJ and Flutie almost pulled off the comeback. Flutie then rattled off several consecutive wins enjoying the advantage of a great defense. Big Old Ted Washington, Spielman, and Paup. Essex, Whats was worse is the next day I flew to my first Nat’l Sales Meeting in a new career in Pharma Sales. Guess where was the meeting? Yep, Nashville. Each early morning before the day started I was in their large gym as it was at the Gaylord Palms. I wore my Bills hat and Bills shirts each morning and argued all week with Nashville fans it was a forward pass.

SDS, I’m glad you’re keeping the tradition going, and if it weren’t for a flight from Tampa, etc., I’d be there. We usually reserve that trip for a game early in the season. I’m fortunate as I have a family member who’s worked for the Sabres for 25 years, and can always find a couple of tix. We have to pay fair market value, but are not price gauged either. So I’ll see some of you guys the weekend we can get up there. Usually it’s my two sons, and one of my nephews who is close to my sons. My whole family may fly up, but that’s as my other sisters hosts a family reunion the Saturday before. It’s actually the highlight of my fall each year. We have a very large Irish Catholic family. Last year, only half made it, and there were over 70 people in the house, garage, and large backyard.

I’ve held my feelings back, but enjoy Brown and Wood. Having Tasker as the sideline guy vs. Sal was a mistake.

Like many of you, it was a catch, he survived the ground and had control throughout the ground. Heck, half his body was on the ground, and maintained control. It was stripped after the fact. I know to move on, but to think we would’ve played NE the next week in Foxborough, a place we just beat them a few weeks earlier is such a job. We would’ve most likely been in the SB. I don’t know if we could’ve overcame the Seahawks defense, but I would’ve liked to see it. NE when playing the Texans and Denver was not great, and we would’ve been favored in their stadium. Life of a cursed franchise.

I’m sure many of you guys read his books. The last chapter of the first one was titled, “The Buffalo Bills”. It was such a nice walk down memory lane prior to my time at the Rockpile, etc. Old Coot, and Chandler, can probably add color to those days in the first ward. My dad who is 95 and kicking knew Big Russ quite well from the 1st Ward and South Buffalo. He said he met Tim once at the local watering hole of Big Russ. I can’t remember the name of that gin mill, but my dad knew it. It was so nice him making those prayers during the four SB years saying a prayer at the end of Meet the Press the day of the SB. He was such a class act. That year was significant to me, as my mom passed on my 40th birthday that same year. Tim died first if memory serves. My mom passed on November 28th. It took me 5 years to celebrate my birthday after that event. Now I just remember the good years and how kind and funny was my mom. So to the son of Big Russ, may you rest in peace my friend. I don’t know any Bills fan that wasnt a Tim Russert fan.

On the upside, Orr will gat a ton of reps in the beginning of camp, and supposedly, he’s impressed so far. FWIW, Kilgore has as well as a Safety, but he’ll get eased in due to CJGJ. As far as the latter, if he can just keep his trash talking with the opposition, he’ll be fine. There is zero purpose in trash talking with your teammates. There’s nothing to gain. Ive always found in sports, you talk up your teammates to keep them in the fight, and trash if that’s your style your enemy for the week.

I agree. I was not usually a trash talker when young, but if someone was chatting me up, I made sure to hit the guy even harder on the field. When I wrestled, if the guy was cheap, I’d bite him on the back when the ref wasn't looking. It usually shuts them up. Besides, CJGJ is just trying to get under people’s skin. If he’s smart,he’ll keep that stuff for the opponent, not his own teammates.

BBG, maybe 85% is liberal, but we pretty much have an offense and Brady is used to the players. Defense as it sounds like we agree is the wildcard. I honestly don’t, nor do you of these guys will fit. That’s Leonard’s call.

We’re really not going to get a good bead on Brady until training camp where they can put in the pads. Everyone, players, coaches, etc. are just evaluating what they have in June. My guess is we have probably about 85% of what they need on defense, and will make do with the rest. This team is going through a major overhaul to philosophy, strategies, and tactics. For me, it’s wait and see. Everything else is just conjecture.

GB, I agree in the sense that a bad team like the Jets, Titans, and so on might have a use for him in the slot. If he can’t catch for JA17, there’s not much hope for lower tier QBs. I have nothing against the guy,but it’s not like he just had a bad game.

Sure Snappy, and I’ve seen men and women complete paraplegics or worse quadriplegics. Just think about what it’s like to go the bathroom, there are certain things tou have to do if at all to have intimacy for a wife or GF. My son had nothing compared to this, but after his 6th concussion on a full ride for lax asked me what he should do. I asked him questions, didnt tell him what to do, and he gave up his scholarship. He still has regular migraines, and fear serious long term complications. He made his own choice. If this guy wants to play, I’m not saying don’t. I said he has a lot to think about and remember it’s a long life we hope. You’d have a different POV if you spent time and became close as I’ve been with people that lost so many human functions. He has every right to move forward with football, but it comes at a greater risk. If you are a big Bills fan, then you know Eric Wood retired over his neck injuries. He’s often said he never regrets as he knew the risk of not being able to walk again. Football is enjoyable, but he needs to really consider all of his options.

Parker was on WGR this morning at 8 am, so if anyone is interested, just go to Audacy, and it’s on the Jeremy and Joe show. He seemed genuinely appreciative of the Chubb offer for them to train together for the next three weeks.

From what I read this morning on the main board. On the news articles that it’s procedural. He was waived, but it’s an expectation he’ll be brought back as injured reserve. The Bills typically do the right thing, so let’s hope that holds true this time. I agree with the sentiment from many posters it sucks, and wish him the best. My guess and it’s just a guess, he’ll probably get an injury settlement, and maybe if he has a year to rehabilitate, can try again next year. I think he has a lot to consider. Working in medicine for the last 26 years, I’ve seen how lives changed from losing the use of their limbs. It’s nothing I wish on any of you. I won’t get into details as some aspects are terrible. Is playing in the NFL worth that kind of risk?
