  1. Weird. I got a set of 5 tickets, and then another pair of 2. I have since received a text for the 5, but still not the other 2 tickets. I tried the "text my tickets" link for them (just this morning) and still haven't received them. So confusing. Bringing a bunch of kids...don't want this to get screwed up! Was anyone at this past Saturday's practice? If you had a group, were you all able to get in off of one phone? The instructions seem to want you to text the ticket to each individual in the group...there are 4 kids in our group, they don't have cell phones. Surely others have the same issue. Am I going to have a problem trying to get them all in using my phone for all of them? Tried contacting both Ticketmaster and the Bills...didn't get anywhere trying to answer these questions.
  2. Pretty good list, though I think I would move EJ ahead of Brohm, Holcomb and Tuel...and maybe move Orton up to #6 I was legit excited when we signed him... still one of the best college players I ever saw...and being an Austinite, I hate the Longhorns (and any idea of Austin Bills).
  3. As I recall, he beat Miami twice that season, which was huge for me, at that time. Expectations were perpetually low, so you were looking for just anything to feel positive about. For some reason, I thought he would have a solid career as a back-up/spot starter in the league after that...but he just kind of disappeared... I think he may started on game for the Browns, after Buffalo, but nothing after that. He was a bit of a one trick pony...but effective.
  4. Nobody remembers Thad Lewis? I was so battered by Bills football at the time, for a few weeks there, when he started, I thought "finally the Bills strike gold"!
  5. News FLASH: one of PPP's most notorious low-lifes is blind and dumb!
  6. Sorry, that is just kinda silly. Was he too slow in 2019? Not saying Singletary is the be all to end all, but some are acting like he is a scrub. There were a lot of extenuating circumstances for the O-line in 2020.
  7. I agree. I also haven't forgotten how great Singletary was in 2019. To me, the running game issues of 2020 were as much on the line (if not more) than the backs. Maybe just a combo of real preparation for the season, instability in the line-up, and a new "pass first" mentality that the line couldn't keep up with. In 2019, Singletary made a lot of plays...we know he isn't super fast, but he was very shifty. and consistently turned what looked like minimal gains into 5-6 yard runs. I feel like people are writing off Singletary a little prematurely.
  8. I can't remember who, at this point, but one of the NHL rumor guys had mentioned Tuch earlier, as part of a possible deal for Jack.
  9. Trump is innocent like OJ. True, the hated I and many others have for Trump doesn't make him guilty...but it makes him the loser of the 2020 presidential campaign...which was the point of my original comment. Yes, I am sure.
  10. You are a rube. All it took was a corrupt Attorney General (see Bill Barr) to shut everything down.
  11. Trump is human garbage, he always has been. The media did not have to work too hard to show that. He gave them nothing but fuel.
  12. You accept that because Trump has been so successful at avoiding prosecution as some indication of his innocence. You are the fool born in your minute.
  13. I am amazed, and amused, that so many Trump fans can't fathom how he lost the election. They just don't get how many people hate him, and how much. The cult... they think pointing out Biden's issues is somehow "scoring points". What they fail to realize, people who voted for Biden don't hold him up as a messiah. For most of us, he wasn't our first choice...but for the good of the country we voted for him. There are still more patriots, than sociopaths in the electorate.
  14. I think it would take a little longer than 1 or 2 years... but I do remember the period between Lombardi and Favre (or maybe Majkowski) where they were as irrelevant as an NFL team could be.
  15. I just don't get the love for Duff's. I think they are terrible. Though, I will confess I didn't grow up on Duffs. I've had them a number of times on trips home, over the last 30 years, and I have never once been impressed. I know many seem to loath Anchor Bar, but I think they are at least pretty good sometimes, though erratic. I prefer Gabriels Gate or Bar Bill.
  16. The tickets are free, but you have to get them through Ticketmaster. Circumstances make it unlikely that I will be able to make it for a game this year...so practice is the best I can do... I've gone before, it is always fun. And free! It's all this new-fangled technology...once your order is confirmed, you are supposed to have them texted to your phone...but that part of the equation does not seem to be working...at least for me, and two others I know. So, I guess nobody else has run into this issue? Don't blame Troutdog, he saw my post for the two minutes it was "live", and before I deleted it, to re-write the title. Distracted posting is = Drunk posting!
  17. So I got tickets for the Saturday, August 7th open practice at Highmark. I received a confirmation email from Ticketmaster, showing that I have the tickets. There is an option to "click here if you want your tickets texted to your phone". After doing that, it says I will receive my tickets, on my phone "shortly". Over 12 hours later, I have yet to receive any text. Anyone else run into this issue?
  18. it sounds like his big beef is with the GM. At his age, he only has a limited number of years left...he, and the team, can't just throw a season down the toilet, because he is being a moody prick. His apathetic attitude toward the 2021 Packers seems to have rubbed off on Devante Adams, who has suddenly broke off negations with the team on a contract extension. He and Rodgers both posted "Last Dance" messages on their twitter accounts last night...with pictures of Jordan & Pippen. Just a ***** way to treat your fans. They are 4 or 5 days from starting their season, and they don't even know who their QB is going to be. It doesn't seem to be about money, or a contract...it almost seems like AR just feels like he is too good to be "stuck" in Green Bay. Like I said, it just rubs me the wrong way, particularly as it pertains to Packers fans. We all know how invested hardcore fans are into this stuff. It is a little late to make a trade of the magnitude this would require, though I have no doubt a team like Denver would make it work if they had to.
  19. I've lost a lot of respect for him. There was always something a little off-putting about his personality, but the fact that he was a great QB made it easy to overlook. But the way he is dicking the franchise, and more specifically Packer fans, is really a turn off. Whether he retires or not, it seems like he is going out of his way to burn the team down with him. He just comes off a smug, jerk. Ironically, politically, I am probably much closer to Rodgers that Favre... but I find Favre's dopiness much easier to look past.
