  1. That can certainly be the case! I never get on the highway unless I have to, and even then I use WAZE on the most routine of trips to warn me in case of foul ups.
  2. We’ll have our son (and his wife) with us, plus our grandson from our older son (who passed away). All HUGE Bills fans, with our son going to Bills games in Buffalo without me at times these days. Our grandson is almost 12 and lives almost 2 hours north of the stadium, but his aunt and family are driving in to the game so we don’t have to worry about getting him home super late or him missing a day of school. He’d be fine missing school, but this is ideal with easy transportation for him. .
  3. Good luck in ATL! The trams were down yesterday when my son’s 80 y/o FIL arrived with a relatively new knee. Not ideal. We’ll be almost right in front of you in section 239, row 9. I’ll be with the good looking people, which helps make me stand out more. 😊
  4. You don’t think he gets his pick of HC jobs next year? People forget how long a season really is, with all the ups and downs. And we’ll overreact each and every week. If he gets a HC job next year, we probably did something special so I can live with that.
  5. And I thought this was a family kinda place! Such language!
  6. It’s just completely different. Buffalo is half the size of Buckhead alone, forget downtown and midtown. As big ass cities go, I think it’s better than most. I just prefer something smaller. We live in our own little world around the Vinings, like 10-11:00 on the perimeter and rarely go out side of our little 5 mile radius. Atlanta is not my favorite city, but the winters are better than Buffalo. I have PT on my shoulder early afternoon but will probably head to Whitehall Tavern after that which is the closest Bills Backers Bar. It’s in south Buckhead, maybe 15 minutes from the downtown hotels. Apparently they had a sold out event for Sunday, but I’m curious what it will look like today. I’ll look for the yellow lot and see if there is anyone in Bills gear and I’ll be sure to waive to you!
  7. Who is in Atlanta, and what are you going for Game Day on this Monday?
  8. TayTay probably had to call in some favors for that one.
  9. They should put them on the sunny side of the field to put them out of their misery.
  10. I thank and commend you for the way you pointed out the obvious so concisely. A season is a lifetime.
  11. Could this be a factor? “AI Overview During the 2024 NFL season, Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had a significant knee injury in his left knee, specifically a PCL sprain, that caused him to miss multiple games. He also had bursitis in his right knee, and despite playing through some pain, his production declined, leading to a disappointing season before he was fully healthy for the start of the 2025 season.” Just looking at stats without context can be misleading. I love that Kincaid has apparently stepped up his blocking this year as well. The book is not written yet on this season, much less his career. Oh, and the other 31 teams have scouts (just barely for the Bengals) and GM’s too. They are all paid to do their best, so it was actually a rather silly point you responded to. The most anyone can offer is their best guess. Life is not an algebra problem.
  12. First, It’s a message board, so I don’t think I “butted into” anything. Secondly, if they can know the future, I have much more important things for them to be doing. It doesn’t matter where I came in, this is akin to your “everything but a SB victory makes you a loser” style of thinking. Nobody knows the future, so I guess we are all losers using that thinking.
  13. Do we have to watch next week too? This could get exhausting! Do you know how long a season lasts? We should just get one of those people who can see the future to tell us how this all turns out. Maybe we don’t even want to watch?
  14. Do you get a kick out of being deliberately obtuse? I guess you’re just in one of your moods. You make decisions based upon the greater body of evidence. Josh misses open receivers and makes bad throws on occassion. Should we fire him?
  15. You realize this isn’t a math problem, right? It’s not an exact process and there are countless factors to take into account. NOBODY knows who will be better until things have played out….and we are far from done. An experienced Realtor evaluates houses as part of their job. That doesn’t mean they can tell you which house on the street will sell first or for the most money. You make your best call, then see how it goes. Just like the other GMs in the NFL.
  16. I aim for garrulous, but sometimes I slobber a bit. I’m a hybrid. This may seem odd, but I feel badly for everyone here, including Sanchez. I get that what he apparently/allegedly did was horrible and inexcusable, but that’s what can happen to people under the wrong conditions. I also get that he created this for himself (and it’s much worse for the victim) but the whole thing is just so sad. He’s not evil to his core. Something set this off. It doesn’t get Sanchez off the hook in any way, he’ll face the music, but he’s harmed himself as well and I hate to see that. I’ve witnessed this stuff up close and personal, so maybe that maybe makes me less quick to judge. That will come in time. .
  17. How about the odd hour games from Germany or Dublin? Or the Jags outlet in London? Interested in going to see your team play in Mexico City or Brazil? They often seem more interested in the fans they don’t have than in the fans they do have.
  18. He’s acting as though he’s professionally involved in the investigation, or maybe he’s that little kid in the Grisham novels about the kid lawyer. Except that kid was really bright for his age. 🤣
  19. There is no venom, as you suggest. It truly is not personal, even if some are going to take it that way. Life in a lot of other places is more expensive (often FAR more) than in WNY. The Bills are just catching up. It’s not capital letters in bold font, but it is a fact.
  20. For the 40%+ who say trade for Sean McVay, what exactly makes you think they would give him away for some draft picks? For the 20 people so far who opted for Gruden, he’d be right up there with Rex in terms of the LAST guy I’d want. I had enough personal experience with that little fella with the GIANT ego that I’d put my Bills fandom on hold.
  21. Very sad. She had some great roles. RIP
  22. Let’s start by wearing Buffalo Bills uniforms, complete with a Bills helmet. That shouldn’t be too difficult.
  23. We are fortunate enough to have volunteers who panic enough for the whole crowd.
  24. I think of Samuel as being prone to possibly taking a roster spot one day. There, now he’s due for a few big plays.
  25. How about if you knew he lived in your zip code?
