    Without Josh?? 6-7 wins tops..

     

    We will still have A QB, it won’t be a power play. A decent replacement and we would adjust and do better than that, IMO. 

     

    As great as Josh is, and I love him like everyone else, but I feel that some people see it like it’s all on him, and he does it despite the coaching. We have a team around him, and I feel like it’s disrespectful of them and the coaching staff to get so little credit. Josh makes us GREAT, but they are pretty darned good too.

    Mupp ...I have "issues, big ones" then.  I don't find her all that attractive for some reason.  🤷‍♂️

     

    Her sense of humor, quick wit and laugh on that movie promotion video made her attractive to me.  (Josh is probably safe, my wife would have none of that. :)

     

    And I find her pretty, if not a classic beauty. Sometimes that’s better.

    Interesting comment for a Happy Father’s Day thread but I felt the same way. Until I didn’t. And now I wish I hadn’t waited until 44 to have our first.
     

    But holy ***** - the exhaustion is real, the constant anxiety is real, the loss of some hobbies is real. And it’s ALL worth it when my 17 month old came up and said “Da!!” (That’s what he calls me) and gave me a hug yesterday. Number 2 on the way, due in November. I’ll be 45 and I regularly think of how old I’ll be when they hit certain milestones - I’ll be the guy at high school graduation people assume is the grandpa. But I’ve come to grips with it. 

     

    That said, it’s 100% not for everyone. And the biggest thing I’ve taken away so far is my undying respect for single parents. Doing this alone would have likely killed me. 
     

     

     

    Great post. 

     

    I worked with a young lady and kind of watched her grow up, interning in summers (her dad was the majority stockholder), then fresh out of college, then getting married and finally expecting. We had two boys so the girl stuff was new to me. I felt very invested when she was expecting. I was also somewhat honored when she came to me to ask about what it’s like to become a parent. She stunned me at first and I just mumbled some words. 

     

    I mulled it over for a while, and I still remember walking over to her office to share my share my experience. I said the lows will be low and very difficult, but the highs are higher than I could have imagined. 

     

    To each their own, because we are not one size fits all.

    A reach?  A guy who plays basketball his whole life dunking isn't some high probability injury situation, the over reaction IMO is a bit of a reach.  And guys have hurt their ankles rounding bases or chasing balls in softball plenty of times too.  Also not a high probability for risk, but definitely not an absurd comparison either.  

     

    Point is - this wasn't that serious and nothing outside the ordinary of what professional athletes do in the offseason either.  On the risk factor scale on what they could be doing, this was pretty low.  

     

    It was a charity basketball event. Other Bills were playing basketball too. Maybe the problem is that Keon is too athletic? Maybe if he played basketball without jumping so high? 🤷‍♂️

     

    Life is dangerous. I don’t think it’s fair to say Keon is a space cadet and therefore he’s at greater risk playing the same game as everyone else….but better.  If you play, you play. One could argue that playing at half speed is just as dangerous, and it’s something you’d never want to do in football if you care for your wellbeing.

    I mean you can say that about any of the guys on the team playing the softball game every year where they can get hurt as well, or these guys just working out in the offseason, or any extra curricular activity that other guys on the team do, including Josh, over each offseason.  

     

    It was a Damar Hamlin charity event, and there were a bunch of Bills there along with others. I wonder if it would it be on brand if one of the others got hurt?

    Crying to the mods to effectively ban someone from a thread then clearly calling that same person out in that same thread without actually naming them is some next level passive aggressive immaturity.

     

    Umm…..huh? 

     

    How is that for an articulate response? But I truly am curious. I hope you don’t think I’m calling you out individually. I am speaking in general terms that include all people, not just one. I can honestly swear that you never entered my thoughts while posting that. 

     

    EDIT: And if someone is complaining about you, it’s NOT me. We have covered that before.

    I mowed the lawn today. Other than that did a whole lot of nothing 

     

    Is a little bit of nothing more, or less?  

     

     

    Our son was over with his wife and two girls, 2-1/2 and 7 months. The older is difficult and very introverted and she’s hard to warm up to people, so I don’t push her. When she’s ready I’ll be there. The baby is much happier and outgoing, and I was loving our time on the kitchen floor with her. My son mentioned in the basement to my wife how fun I was on the floor with the baby. She said “Oh, he loves babies, but the older one is a lot like you were.”

    hi. adding tuna fish and a ton of hard boiled eggs. I never had it any other way as a kid

     

    Hmmm, have we gone from a salad to a casserole, or is it all cold?  It sounds familiar as a casserole with…..potato chips crushed on top?

    Scientists have discovered strange radio waves emanating from deep beneath Antarctic ice, and they can't figure out what's causing them:

    Stuff like this just goes to show how very little we know. We know little about dark energy and dark matter, and that’s the vast majority of the universe. It’s hard to feel “certain” about anything given our general ignorance. Yet some of us can be feel so sure. 🤷‍♂️

    HFD! My 87 y.o. Father is coming over. A full day of hearing how tough it is for him. I mean I get it. He can only ride his bike for 7 miles. He can only walk 3 miles a day. He recently started to wake up at night to pee. He doesn’t wear glasses, hears fine and just dug out a 100 ft. hedgerow, clears and snow blows his 130 ft. driveway, cleans his 1600 sq. ft. house, it’s pretty much spotless. New car every 3 years, drives everywhere.
     

    …..and tell him he’s fortunate? I don’t dare.

     

    (just to add, my brother, sister and myself are definitely fortunate)

     

    Sounds like good genes! Take good care of yourself because it sounds like you’re in this for the long haul!

    I don’t know why teachers want to get paid for teaching more than one child. Greedy bastards!

     

    Once they’re in front of a classroom teaching one kid, might as well add 20 more kids to listen along for the same price!

     

     

     

    That sounds like the theory behind home schooling Travis Henry’s kids.

    meh. Both are frustrating. 
     

    I’m not loving a debate between whether it was better to watch Phillip Rivers or Donovan Mcnabb?  Just spitballing two good QBs without rings from 20 years ago
     

    I think I’d be ok tanking a few seasons in exchange for an appearance. 12-5 and Super Bowl run followed by 5-12 or two 11-6 seasons losing in the divisional? I think probably give me the first

     

    Both can be frustrating. 

     

    There is no arguing which franchise I prefer.

    I’d agree on a lot of the newer “mumble” rap, I think that stuff is trash, but actual lyricists, or artists who can rap with a message? Great stuff, with the peak of artistry in the 90s.

     

    I’m just kidding, every generation does stuff other generations don’t get. For the record, I was the right age, but could NOT put up with disco.

    So what’s worked better?  
     

    Addressing the WR and neglecting the line?

     

    Or addressing the line and neglecting the WR?

     

    Early playoff exits at this point of the Allen/McDermott era are absolute failures. 
     

     

     

    Addressing the Oline. 

     

    The Bengals seriously addressed WR, and they have missed the playoffs in 3 of the last 5 years with Joe Burrow at QB. He’s not chopped liver.  The Bills addressed the OLine, and we are regulars in the playoffs and a top Super Bowl favorite. We didn’t win the SB (yet), but we were in the playoffs, while the Bengals sat at home. 

     

    Some people want to whine so badly about our GM and HC they lose sight of reality.  The Bengals are doing better is not a hill I’d want to die on.

  15. What is the Jets Super Bowl worth now? Broadway Joe made a few bucks. 

     

    I’d rather spend my money on travel and tickets to enjoy the games.

    These divisional round exits keep getting more and more fun!!

     

    It beats not being there at all. The Bills have a chance when they are in the playoffs. The Bengals do not when they are sitting at home with most of their cap space going to just a few guys. 

     

    I would have a hard time being a fan of any NFL team from Ohio.

    Bengals bungled their way to a Super Bowl a few years ago. 
     

    That must have been neat for their fans. 
     

    The following year, they Bungled their way past a wonderfully prepared and enthused Bills team and went the the AFCCG. 

     

    I bet that was pretty cool for their fans too. 
     

    Seems to me the Bills bungled more than the Bengals. 🤷‍♂️ 

     

     

     

    How did they do in the playoffs last year? Or the year before? They’ve been to the playoffs twice in the last 9 years. Is that great? Are they wasting Joe Burrow? 

     

    Give me our Bills, please and thank you.

    I have literally nothing to say about this crappy AI picture. There's not enough alcohol in the world for me to drink to come up with something witty to say about this picture. Maybe someone here who snorts pink cocaine can help a brotha out.
