But didn’t he come back in? It did look very bad when they were checking him, but I thought he came back. That doesn’t mean he’s OK, by ANY means. .

We are nearby. I haven’t looked into any of this at all yet, but is there anything nearby the stadium? Any kind of tailgating? Options inside? How early would you suggest arriving at the stadium. This will be a different kind of game day for me!

So, if you are keeping score at home, this is approximately two teams more than Jacksonville.

I think that is where Ko Simpson works now. Did he look familiar at all?

I get it, a 47 yard FG was a big deal in Bills history. But it’s somewhat ancient history at this point. I’m not saying anyone else is wrong, because it’s your life to live. I just choose not to dwell on negative things. I don’t see how that helps anything in any way. Just different ways of life, I guess. We lost a game, a REALLY BIG game, but still a GAME. Believe me, if I want things to bring me down, this is nowhere near the top of the list from my life. You can also flip the coin here. The way Bills fans supported Norwood at the ceremony downtown made me even more proud to be a Bills fan. Sometimes losing shows true character. I didn’t cry when he missed, but I may have shed a tear when he got that support. . .

Never crosses my mind. Are you also obsessed when there are 13 seconds left? I’ve moved on, it’s the healthy way to live I believe.

Ah, the bully PE teacher made you into the tough guy you are! He was just building character, and teaching kids strategy at the same time! You made a point of not bothering the gym teacher, didn’t you? He did NOT want do do any more than roll the ball and hear the bell ring! I think you might have made him angrier than he already was about his career choices. Sincerely, Coach Gustafson

So Tremaine Edmunds isn’t allowed? Self-admitted tennis guy, but the sound of the striking of a pickle ball is just grating! Can a sound be ugly? I’d have to wear headphones!

I’m a slow learner, I guess. I have yet to get any meaningful rest on a red eye. Maybe I will be so exhausted I can finally get some sleep on the way back, but it’s not a red eye. It’s great to travel. It’s also great to get back home and see the wife and dogs, then sleep in your own bed. Nobody was rude on my flight with lights or talking, but the guy in front of me in the cheap seats reclined his seat when the guy in front of him reclined HIS seat. I kicked him into submission, and he talked to the guy in front of him. My knees had nowhere to go. I never recline on a plane because I know how annoying it is. I was at that game, and somewhere I have a picture of a sea of people in blue walking over the pedestrian bridge. It made me proud, and it made me chuckle a little! 😋

We need to figure out what hotel that Jags fan is staying at and tip Rich off. Sure, there have been sightings, but he’s a bit like Waldo in the big picture. More elusive than the painted bunting!

I sure hope they weren’t peeing in the sinks!!!

I strolled all over town again today, and one thing jumped out at me: at least 80% of the people who gave me a “Go Bills!” were NOT wearing Bills gear. Maybe saving it for game day? So, if you think it looks like a lot of us out there, it’s actually far more. Can’t wait to see them all tomorrow!

Will they put them thru college? It might be a good deal!

I almost went for some Royal Cuisine yesterday, but the line at Burger King was too long. I didn’t come to London to eat a Whopper or a Big Mac, but they seem to be doing a brisk business.

I think I saw a guy in a Bills hat in the back!!!

Not sure, but……Haven’t we covered this a thousand times with Tre’s ACL? Docs clearing you does not mean you are ready to play in an NFL football game. Every player and every injury is different. Being “cleared” might mean next Sunday, or they can put you in the “day to day” category which can last weeks. I think Von can come back and be close to Von from snap one. That was not the case with Tre. I pray for his recovery. Great guy by all accounts, and two really lousy breaks. Hope things go well for this young man!

I think that is generous. He may get a few plays, but he may just like fish & chips.

Have you ever listened to Von before. Nice guy, and always optimistic. His words and reality only collide on rare occasions. And for the record, if you listen and pay attention, it seems more likely he’s talking about his readiness to play. He can’t speak for McD or the Docs.

@Royale with Cheese seems to think he’s onto something here. To my knowledge, he has not been committed yet. But there is still time…..

Well, that is just a terrible analogy. I mean TERRIBLE! We are watching football, and judging what we are watching. I don’t feel a need to ignore the facts to date. I don’t care if you are watching a new guy, or a guy in pin stripes. You seem to be suggesting that we are (according to some subjective opinion) that one is better than the other, therefore we should grade on some kind of a curve. That works for biased people who are not objective about the football we have seen this year, but I’m not buying that crap.

Yep! I prefer watching the football games. I don’t know what we get this week with Groot out and Von unlikely to play much, if at all. But if you watch the games it’s obvious….they are GETTING AFTER THE QB!

Is there any forum where they get challenged on crap like this? It sounds pretty indefensible. On a side note, why do all these people on TV sound funny? 😋

Thanks for the explanation. I had not been outdoors until I stepped out of the car and we all realized the actual weather was more like we expected. I continue to run into our Bills peeps everywhere I go. It gives you a nice feeling to meet strangers and already have something important to you in common.

So you wish for a cancer for our opponents, but you wish we had gotten it first? Huh? 🤷‍♂️ .

I got in just about 24 hours ago and took the Heathrow Express to Paddington then a short walk to the hotel. The walk gave me time to dry off. It was hot as hell on the train and everyone stripped down as much as they could, but we were all sweating buckets! I’ve come out of the shower with my hair less wet. We then stepped out into 50-something degree weather which was an initial relief, but then a bit brisk. It was easy, but certainly not comfortable. Enough whining…. Our car was about 80% in Bills gear, then there was one nice young couple in Jags gear. This gave me two main thoughts: 1) I LOVE how Bills fans travel! There are other teams that travel well, but nobody is better than Bills fans. 2) I wish opposing fans could get along in a stadium as well as they do on a hot train. Unfortunately, you add alcohol and the heat of battle, and things turn sad too often. Let’s all go have fun and behave, win or lose. It is, after all, a game. .
