Miyagi-Do Karate

This is so huge!!

haha— only in Buffalo are we zooming in to blurry background images.

yup— they are San Diego based. Been listening to them for 20 years. Just a solid group of guys and musicians. They had a documentary out a few years ago you may want to check out about creating their album— “Fading West”— lots of So Cal scenes and concerts.

this is amazing!

I like where this is heading.

for one of our sons, I really tried to convince my wife that we name him Augustine (and then shorten it to Augie). I used to like this one song called Augustine’s Confessions (something more), and was a fan of St. Augustine. But alas, she overruled me! FYI, here is the song:

Bates can’t play anything apparently. just nuts if they think Hart is a better option than Doyle or Bates, but I guess I trust the coaches. But I agree generally that we should only swap out LT, not LT/RG/RT.

Can never have too many Gilliam’s on a team. I fully support it.

I really am wondering what the bills do with the oline. I know it is not popular, but the idea of just having Doyle or Bates at LT makes more sense than shifting 3 guys to weaken 3 positions on the line.

that is a good point— it just feels much worse.

Other than half the team, we are fully healthy.

barely. The dude with all the vowels in his last name may even be called up to play!!

yeah, but I guess my point is that I haven’t seen anyone return much faster. Dawkins and Feliciano are both vaccinated and will miss two games at least. That said, I get your main point— we were always at a competitive disadvantage without 100% vax rate.

Don’t want to get into a vaccination debate, but omicron is claiming both vaccinated and unvaccinated equally. And based even on the NFL protocols, no one is coming back early.

Bourne is their only receiver worth worrying about. The Bills need to just now be able to cover Henry, and there’s otherwise not much to their offensive passing weapons.

the season rides in Bobby Hart’s shoulders. Oh the irony!

Ugh. And cody ford too?! He has actually been playing pretty well recently.

I think every city is “more boring” now due to COVID. So many of the best places have gone under in cities across the country.

Agreed. Titans are one of those teams that you just need to out-execute them. They will always be in every game. We almost did that this year, but we didn’t. Comes down to a slip on a sneak and letting one big run. That’s the difference.

i agree. But what is good about him is he knows who he is. Same with all the titans. They just play fundamentally sound and play within themselves. Even on that Jimmy G pick, it was nothing special. Just good zone coverage; bad throw; safety catches the ball.

Lack of energy is a good way to put it. I don’t quite get it. I think it could be also due to a lack of an identity. When you have an identity, you can lean into it. The Bills are still trying to figure out who they are.

see what I mean? Going to be a tied game And the titans really haven’t done anything.

The one thing I will say about the titans is that they are just plain gritty. I really have no idea how they win any football games, even when Henry was there. Just sort of collecting 4-yard runs, and a few playaction chunk plays, here and there. Nothing flashy on offense or defense, but seem to get it done every week. they always figure out a way to hang around in games. They will probably come back and make this a game.
