  1. Are you really just going to leave us hanging like that? I think the Bills are the favorites for a reason, but the AFC is tough. We just need to go out and win the games. It sounds so simple! We may or may not make it to the SB, but it should be an entertaining ride. Do NOT panic during the rough patches. Peak in the playoffs! (Remember when the mere idea of playoffs seemed like a stretch?)
  2. I love a good debunking! If we “debunk” this, can we “bunk” something else?
  3. I believe we call that the Uber Squad now. The times, they are a changin’!
  4. A little surprising, like Gabe Davis was coming out of Covid-summer. You knew a little bit about him, but we (I?) actually saw Davis first in the opener when we came out with 3-4 wide on the first possession. It was was a quick “WHOA! What do we have here?” Doubt we can get that lucky again so soon, but it was a pleasant surprise!
  5. Does sweet ol’ Ms Joan pay you in special brownies? You could do the whole neighborhood!
  6. The 2nd week is the new 3rd week, I think. I’m good with a couple series. It’s about as dangerous as practice, and they have to practice. Just be safe Josh, no red jersey.
  7. We went to a fancy steakhouse in Atlanta (Kevin Rathbun Steak for the locals) right on the very hip Beltline. The place right across the Beltline was a cool bar where people our kids age put picnic blankets out back and played corn hole while sipping fancy drinks. We wanted to check it out after dinner, but the wife and I thought there might be a bouncer to keep US OUT! We checked it out discreetly, then slipped away. As it should be. .
  8. I’m afraid they wouldn’t let me in. 😪
  9. ….and then…. ….for the Super Bowl. OK, I don’t really care, except for the Super Bowl part! Shakir looked pretty good, I just need to see more and if he’ll work on the outside.
  10. It’s a great and flattering problem to have! Players, coaches and FO…..we will need to keep reloading.
  11. Is there anyone who doesn’t love this guy? I mean, besides Belichick and the rest of the AFC? He’s no Baker Mayfield! Although, Baker is no Deshaun Watson, so it could be worse. Poor Browns fans. It’s a fun time to be a Bills fan. It won’t be perfect, but nothing is. Soak this up!
  12. Another wild weekend in Gugnyville! I must say, I’m glad I missed that party. We had a house with a bidet once. It was just there, we gave it little thought. When we went to sell, we came across a buyer who loved her bidet action and we were the only house for sale that had one. Done deal! For that reason, I am pro-bidet.
  13. Shhhhh! I publicly deny any association with any……..I’ve said too much already.
  14. That is FIVE demerits for you, sir! This hooligan behavior must stop! OK, it was inevitable…… 🤷‍♂️ .
  15. The Achilles is a B word, especially if you are unwilling to eat avocado ice cream.
  16. I didn’t see it other than the Bryant Young speech linked here. Wow! That was very moving and I became a bigger fan. As for the HOF, it’s starting to feel like we need tiers. After you are in so many years, you might get “promoted” or something. Might be stupid, but it is getting crowded with a lot of “well above average” football players. Sorry guys, some are ELITE, and some just got in during a weak class. .
  17. I admit to getting worked up early in my kids’ youth sports days. I remember yelling at the college age son of the guy who owned/ran the rec hoops league in town. I’m ashamed of it now, but he would let kids double dribble and travel all over the court, but he’d blow the whistle if my kid did it. Looking back, my kid knew what he was doing (thanks to his older brother and his friends) and the other kids were clueless just trying chase the ball they had no control over. My kid screwed up, picked up his dribble, knew he was trapped and tried to get away with putting it on the floor again. The whistle blew, and I went ballistic. NOT my finest moment screaming at a teenager. He knew my kid knew better, so in retrospect he did the right thing. It WAS a double standard, but the kids were at different levels. At some point I saw how ridiculous my behavior was and became the model parent. That was not the example I wanted to set. Once I changed my mindset I became embarrassed for other adults, including the 40-something year old man/dad/coach my son had to eject while a high schooler reffing rec league games. He got his 2nd T, and I’m sure he deserved it! There was an AAU hoops tournament in Miami where the ref stopped the game and would not continue until the police were in the gym. I wish the refs in this case had been able to do the same. Very sad, for everyone.
  18. You might be right, but we all know how much Beane likes those late round picks as chips to trade up a bit to get that one guy they really like. I trust him to work a little wizardry to pick up some extra late round picks in return for guys who just won’t make our roster. Even if we are going to cut a guy, the only way you can guarantee getting him is to trade for him first.
  19. Being a Bills fan can leave wounds. I’ve never seen anything like that, but I do remember a crazy long punt. The Evil Empire had 3rd and forever on one of those super windy days. The wind was at their backs. Some shmoe kicked the ball over the line…..and the wind did the rest. It rolled forever and we were unable to stop it. I’m not sure if this is a slightly repressed memory (for self defense reasons) or just a nightmare, but it’s the kind of stuff that buys a therapist second homes, new cars and fine vacations.
  20. I bet you’re a VERY good tipper!
  21. What a terrific example we set for our children. It never fails to amaze me. 😪 Very sad all around. Tragic. .
  22. Remember when we would look forward to the final cut? Some teams would cut guys better than our starters! We’d be trying to fill several starting positions with scraps from………..GOOD teams. These are good times, my friends!!!
  23. Kevin Bacon got nuthin’ on Edmunds!
  24. No kidding! They were cheap to make and buy, and the longer you stayed to eat them, the more you spent on the high margin alcohol.
  25. Yep, even if it’s not with the Bills, he made a statement that he belongs in the NFL. Somewhere.
