With the cap savings maybe we could fix the OL and get another WR. You may be on to something!

And it gets younger every day. RIP

I think both teams had possession in two different football games, and things happened. It ended badly for the Bills, hence a new thread. 🤷‍♂️

We just got a new dishwasher. The one in the house we bought a year ago was a PITA. Our old house had a Bosch, and we went that route again. We never had any problems with it and got great performance. The new one is so quiet there is a soft red light that shines on the floor to warn you so you don’t open it while it’s running. It’s that hard to hear. Buy good stuff, get better results. Most things like TV’s I just consider disposable these days. As for warranties, I have a tale of warning. Not to say it’s a bad idea, but you should hear my experience just to consider the point. The previous house we bought had older AC units. We went back and forth, got the price down a bit, and ended up settling (despite knowing better) for a home warranty instead of getting the price down farther. Sure enough, a few months in the AC goes bad. They come out and patch it up and top it off, while we pay a $200 or $250 deductible. (See where this is going, yet?) A week later, we need them back. They top it off again, we pay again, and I see the error of my ways. They would top it off and collect the deductible until the end of time, but despite all the noise we made, we would NEVER get it properly repaired (it was beyond that) or Heaven forbid…..REPLACED. I think replacing both was $15-20k (excluded furnaces). There may be a place for warranties, but my experience made me feel like a sucker.

It may be the internet, but there are some people on the internet who do much better than others. It’s “the others” some have an issue with. Believe me, I’m on other message boards where this repetitive and redundant personal gratification look-at-me threads simply do not exist. Seriously. I can be done. Because it’s on the internet does not mean it should be ruined (or at least harmed) by a small minority within the population.

To be fair, it’s not just the safeties coach. They also brought in Al Holcomb as a “Senior Defensive Assistant”, for better or worse, and are replacing the WR coach. Is Holcomb able to add anything of value? Will our DB’s start a few large mother-may-I steps forward? Is he the DC in waiting? I honestly have no idea what he might add. He has been a DC before. I also don’t know what happened behind the scenes which Chad Hall at WR coach. Is that addition by subtraction? Again, I have no idea. Sometimes things that seem to be little at the time turn out to be more than what we realized in the moment. But it’s true that they seem to be mostly staying the course. A little help for Dorsey would make me feel better, but maybe improvements in personnel will help make it flow better. It just seems our in door is connected to Charlotte while our out door seems to lead to Jacksonville. https://thebuffalofanatics.com/buffalo-bills-hire-al-holcomb-as-senior-defensive-assistant/ EDIT: Looks like they moved on from an assistant OL coach, too. Not sure if he found a better gig or Kromer decided he just wasn’t good enough. He’d been there prior to Kromer (2019?) but no idea what happened behind the scenes. No BIG changes, but like the rest of the league, we ARE making some changes. I just hope it helps!!! .

So, were we supposed to play without any DB’s? If you are really paying attention, you’d see this was an unfortunate byproduct of a bizarre rash of injuries in our defensive backfield. Exposing Hodgins to waivers was done out of necessity so we could field a complete team. Sometimes you just have to got with the least bad option. Oh, and Tre really wasn’t ready. Hopefully he’s back to his old form next year, because he was not the same guy out there. .

But…..other than that…… 🤷‍♂️

The guy who got run out of Philly because he can’t win the Big One. Maybe we should trade a 2nd and a 4th to KC to make him our new OC. Yeah, that sounds good! Let’s start a thread to make that happen!

It was unusually cold that day for that time of the year, but my dad bought us overpriced sweatshirts in the Harvard bookstore to keep warm. I was young at the time, but I could tell that foot-ball thing was going to take off!

Wait…..twelve hours ago you should have been sober, right? No judgement here! Is the party still going? Cause I just got my SkyMiles statement! 😋

Why put maybe’s out there. The end.

Never underestimate anyone. He could be both! 😋 You’d think there has to be something there for a guy who has been overlooked for years. I’ve heard he’s a bad interview, and you’d think he’d improve over time. Not sure what other baggage there may be.

Well, on the bright side it’s kinda hard to ruin his arm??? 🤷‍♂️

By the end of the year, everybody plays hurt. The game was not meant to be played by human beings, I heard. Does that ring a bell at all?

If I had been there at Pebble Beach , I would have been happy to push him over the cliff into the Pacific for being so reckless and selfish! Fortunately, I never would have gotten past security to push him, and I could push until the end of time and not move him off his spot. BUT, on the bright side, I would have been there at Pebble Beach, and there are worse places to be until the end of time!!! (The pub should be included, just sayin’.)

Yeah, I think he may know his way around a gym a little. Why do people post crap like that when it is such obvious nonsense?

Robots can’t appreciate the drunk girls in bikinis or calm the unruly carp. @ExiledInIllinois is a vital part of maintaining a civilized society! Happy Birthday, sir!

There was no “hear me out”, so I didn’t. 😋 They need to keep crews together (not the All Star refs that led to the Saints getting screwed in the worst high profile call EVER), and IMO they should be well paid, full time employees.

You may have exaggerated, and the universe is a REEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY big place.

So, the doctors and all the smart people with their fancy tests and equipment said he was good to go. Josh was all on board. But YOU want to get rid of the coaching staff because……they still wanted to take a shot at winning? They got it right. Relax. It was a partial tear, which I equate to a sprain. They were right, and Josh should be just fine. This is related to some other recent threads (and one in particular), if you know what I mean.

Dr Thrifty is on a roll. Germany, Pearl Harbor, and all that….. the whole shootin’ match! A little linky would be appreciated.

I’m fine with PowerBall odds (or higher). People win that all the time. It eventually hits. Your numbers will come up soon! 😋 Yes, I think our big sticking point is certainty. There can be none. If I had to guess, some form of life is all over the place, including places on this planet you wouldn’t think possible. Does intelligent life have to develop from that? My experience on TSW tells me intelligent life is far more difficult to find. 😂

But look at who you are quoting. The details don’t matter as long as he sticks to his narrative. We rolled the dice, and we lost big time when Von got hurt. If he’s there to put pressure on Burrow, we may have had a very different game. Sometimes that’s just how it turns out. When you take a big swing there is always risk. Pull a miracle fixing the OL and get Josh another weapon or two. It sounds daunting, but we are still one of the best teams in the league. Nail it on a handful of new contributors on offense and this can be a very dangerous team.

I appreciate your unwillingness to say anything with 100% certainty. THAT is my main point. We can not know. I’m NOT saying anything is out there, but it could be just as simple as they are not interested in visiting? Maybe they are out there and very advanced, but the travel is in fact still not possible for them? Or, if they didn’t want us to be aware of them, I’m sure we wouldn’t. Because I can’t see them does not mean they are not there. I just don’t think we are as smart as we think we are. We study species all over the world who have no real knowledge of our civilization while living here on the same planet. If they exist why don’t we know about them? Maybe because they like it that way? This sounds like I’m pushing something, but that’s not the case. I just don’t think Fermi’s Paradox is all that convincing of anything. In the big picture, there is very little we DO know. We’ve only had television broadcasts for less than a 100 years, for heavens sake. We are just here for a blink of an eye, who am I to say what is or isn’t out there after billions of years. I don’t know, because we cannot know. That applies to all of us. EDIT: Oh, and @4merper4mer, I don’t think of you as a troll at all. I find this to be interesting topic, but it’s one where we can’t be certain about much. .
