That’s it @SDS  count me in for golf. Of for anything I’m gonna beat the hell out of @plenzmd1 while I’m there. Old creepy men shouldn’t be allowed to walk around without black eyes anyway 

 

If you’re trying to attract more people, it’s working. I might show up just to see that!  😂

Most throw backs are horrible. These are in that category, IMO.

I think this should be counted as a home game for the Jags, and an away game for the Bills. It only seems fair after that crap in London.  😡 

[Planning Ahead: 2025 Schedule]

I’ll travel to the game in Atlanta. 

 

I can see the stadium on my way to the grocery store. Yes, I’m willing to make that kind of sacrifice.

Of course. People who know me are not surprised.  

 

UPDATE: I still don’t have a functional cable arrangement in the house, but a new box just arrived and we’ll give that a shot. We might have to go back to Spectrum for TV. We got rid of Spectrum years ago because IT didn’t work. Watching Commander Tom using rabbit ears might be my Rosebud moment.

The NFL sucks.  I wish I could walk away because they don't deserve the fans that brought them to this position.

 

I had a friend who said he’d never watch another NFL game after the strike or lockout they had in the 80’s. I fully assumed he was blowing smoke in disgust, but he never watched another game. If it weren’t for the Bills…..idk.        🤷‍♂️

[Question or topic of the day - a new idea for the board]

17 minutes ago, Billl said:

Question of the day:  What is a WR1 and WR2?

 

Just for reference, there are 32 teams in the NFL.  34 WRs had 800 or more yards last season.  54 WRs had 600 yards.  

27 WRs had more than 5 TDs.  The WR with the 64th most yards had 525.  The WR with the 64th most TDs had 3.

 

With that said, what is a reasonable expectation for a WR1 and WR2?

 

We are the Bills, so I’d say a bad hammy and a dislocated finger as we go into the playoffs. 

[Where to sit at highmark?]

Sit? You are supposed to stand up all game in front of the cranky old folks, because they are checked for weapons before they are allowed inside. The worst they can do is pour a beer on you, and my bet is they can’t afford that form of justice. 

 

I used to be a seat snob, but after sitting in the upper deck a few times I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. Let us hope the new place has the same quality views.

Tim Duncan said it best, it takes a lot of luck to win a championship. Yes coaching and talent make a big difference. But often times the difference between Andy Reid's Eagles making a bunch of deep playoff runs but coming up short and The Giants winning two Super Bowls is just luck. 

 

Being healthy at the right time is part of “luck.”  We have not been lucky, but we are due.

What an inspiring commencement speech!

 

In summary: "The world you're entering is a pile of crap!"

 

While on vacation last week we drove past the church where my older sister (by 8 years) got married. I remember two things about that day.  Fr Timlin basically asked “why bother?”, because everyone ends up divorced anyway.  The other thing was my sister’s old college friend skinny dipping at the beach behind the Hilton Head Inn after the reception. I liked her spirit, among other things!

I'll probably go to a home game this year, not the home opener though.

 

That’s a tough one in terms of cost, for sure. Both game tix and hotels. But you stand a better chance of decent weather, and it’s the 25th so depending upon what’s happening in my world I’ll probably give it a shot. 

[What Bills road trips are you doing this year?]

4 hours ago, Mark Vader said:

I'm looking at both of those too. All depends on the dates.

 

I try to do the home opener and one road game. I can’t pick a road game until I know when it is. 

[THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Receivers are a Dime a Dozen]

I agree times are changing, and the best athlete now wants to be QB or WR, not RB. But a guy who demands frequent double teams makes it easier for everyone else.

KC-Pitt; Baltimore-Houston are the Christmas games.

 

Good!

 

All teams I’m happy to see playing on Christmas Day, and especially on a Wednesday! How do you work that in without really messing up your routine. Much worse than a Monday, and even worse than a Thursday Night Game. Once again, the NFL is more interested in the money than the integrity of the games or the welfare of the players. 

 

I’m a Bills fan, but less of an NFL fan as the years go by and they try to squeeze out every nickel.

He may just show up without an invite.

 

If he wants to come, he can pay the StubHub fees just like I do. 

 

But I am curious….were we thinking an E-Invite or something more traditional with a classic font and an RSVP card. Don’t go cheap on the paper stock, we don’t want to make a bad first impression!  I’m assuming a plus one would be expected, right?

I’m a Bills fan and I always will be, but I care less about the NFL every year. 

 

If Buffalo still had the Braves, I might still watch some NBA. As it is, I don’t even watch the Finals, and I change the station when they start talking NBA on sports talk radio.  I get more music in my life, so it’s not all bad.

Two TE sets are becoming popular again in the NFL.

 

….and I think we have a pretty dynamic duo. We have a great TE room, and people sometimes hate that more than love that. It’s not TE 1 and TE2 the way I see it. It’s two different flavors and there are times for each.

Put a little more effort into making sure you DO arrive. 

 

Since moving to the lovely traffic of Atlanta I’ve shifted my tune a bit. If anybody needs in, I’ll give you every opportunity to change lanes. We are all in this same sh!t together!

It’s been 30 years, so I’m sure none of the same people are around. It was reassuring to know that we were unlikely to draw attention to ourselves from our old neighbors, and therefore hopefully not draw any kind of rifle fire.
