I 🧡 the deep state!

I can see that too....

I'm gonna go bold, and say Dan Marino!

Exactly

I saw it yesterday...

Yes, it was a real "peaceful transfer of power" B-Man found a link!

It's all case by case...if you think this is "no big deal" you really aren't paying attention, you don't understand what happened (or is happening), and you aren't worth discussing with it any further. Or, even worse, you really don't care. You are as gullible as it gets. Not hard to imagine finding an echo-chamber for your lazy view on an NFL football fan-site. MAGA requires the same kind of blind faith, suspension of disbelief as following a football team. Spare me the bull#### about how non-partisan you are...the incels on PPP might buy that, but not me!

If they follow the normal formula, that will be at the beginning...

It's great to have a team that everyone is excited about... one thing that concerns me though, the hype is so over the top, I fear that "Bills Mafia" (I hate that name) is going to wear out it's welcome around the league. I already see it happening... we don't want to become like Cowboys fans by the rest of the league, do we. Just mindlessly presumptuous, and entitled? It wouldn't bother me quite so much if we had actually won something... fingers crossed. But I am not assuming anything...

You are so wrong...the perfect mark

You really are pathetic

Ridiculous. Sure, there is corruption in all parties, but this was way outside the margins. Given the ease with which Trump has fleeced so many Americans into thinking this was "nothing" or "no big deal", it will only make it easier for the next person who wants to give it a go. I love how you rubes present yourself as open-minded, and above partisan politics, when it is convenient.

If you have watched the whole thing, you are not particularly smart, it seems.

No *****! He is the ultimate "cancer" on the presidency...anyone who cared about this country would see that. Even you should be rooting for that. As unpopular as Biden may be, he still beats that pile of ***** you call Trump in a head to head election...assuming your Supreme Court doesn't take the election into their own hands.

Kind of refreshing when a party reflects on their candidate, rather than doubling down on the monster they created, huh?

Actually, you could look at this another way, as fas as Sammy goes. Maybe give him a little credit for recognizing his past screw ups. The Tyler Dunne piece in the Athletic (that came out after Watkins won a ring with the Chiefs) made it pretty clear that Sammy had some mental health issues. Schizophrenic maybe? They only got worse when he was in Buffalo, if you believe him, because he self-medicated with alcohol. Too bad, because if the guy could have just gotten right, he was tremendously talented. Even though we view his time in a Bills uniform as a big failure, or disappointment, he still put up really good numbers, when he was healthy. On teams that were very offensively limited.

Athlons had the prettier pictures, but Lindy's was more informative!

I used to by Athlon and Lindy's every year...just recently parted way with a bout 20 years worth of their annuals... the only time I pick them up now, is I am back in Buffalo, and see a Bill on the cover...where I am, its always the Cowboys and/or Texans. I really loved Lindy's because, in the day's before the internet, they always had a one or two sentence review of every player on each roster. It was invaluable when I was creating my Madden roster, each summer. I always wanted to play with the most accurate roster possible. Man, when I think of all the time I used to have!

He opened the purse strings a bit in his later years but sorry, he was cheap. To say he was "always willing to spend" is not accurate. Making OJ the highest paid player was a "no brainer", as was paying Kelly. If he was "always willing to spend" as you suggest, Kelly would have not spent two years in the USFL. His cut-rate style ruined those early 80's teams...the best he had since the AFL championship days. I will concede you that his commitment was better after those Super Bowl years. The entire business model of the NFL changed when free-agency started in the NFL. You had to pay players. Not to be too critical of the old man (I'm eternally grateful that he kept the team in WNY) but I will contend, he got extremely lucky in stumbling upon Polian and Levy. Both guys were hired as much for their small price tag, as their football acumen. Marv was "retread" that nobody else wanted, and as legend has it, Ralph didn't even know who Polian was when he made him GM. It was Polian who was responsible for finding Marv. It was one of those extremely rare instances where Raph struck gold, despite himself.

He was

I get what you are saying...but he isn't a "retread", because he never got a second chance. Lovie Smith is a retread... he may be the only one in the league, right now...guys who have had multiple head coaching jobs, who never really won anything. As you said, virtually every other coach in the league right now (I think) is either a first timer, or has a Super Bowl win on their resume. It's not so surprising to me that Frazier didn't get a second chance in the last few years, because as you said, older defensive minded coaches are not in vouge right now...but there have certainly been many less qualified guys who have been hired over the years since Frazier was let go in Minnesota.

This is one of the 1980 games that will forever be etched in my memory. Love the Bills every year, but 1980 is still my favorite Bills season of all...my Bills memories only go back to 1972, but this was the first year that I remember thinking "holy *****, the Bills might actually be the best team in the NFL". This was such a great game. Rod Kush is a relatively obscure name in Bills history, but one I will never forget, because of this game. An all-time Bill, as far as I am concerned. A unique talent at the time. If Ralph hadn't played games, and kept that team together, I really think Cribbs would be remembered the way Roger Craig is remembered by most.

I've re-watched the first 6 games of the 2011 season...

I'm with you on everything but mustard. Pickles...just the smell, are revolting.

My best friend and I did the same...headed straight from the Dead show out to Rich to camp out. We were probably in line together! As I recall, we also saw the Kinks at the Aud, a few nights before the Dead. It was a big week.
