… and lean forward with a kissee face, puckered with eyes closed. Benissimo, mio amico Italiano!

I remember introducing his parents to one another …

I mixed one part liquid bleach with two parts water in order to make a cleaning fluid yesterday. I, too, am adulterating.

I think the post was reasoned and modest. I am missing the exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

When a question and answer session begins with “hope you can hear me, I’m out doing my Christmas shopping”, you can immediately lower your expectations for insight. How many times do we hear questions start and then transform to 40 to 50 word meanderings that are 1/3 follow up and 1/3 lists of possible answers to the original near question? “Hey, coach, thanks for taking my question. I notice you don’t run as much in the first half as you do in the second half and is that because you feel the need to get Diggs engaged because of his energy or are you worried about the loss of Edmunds and have a desire to keep the defense off the field especially with a lead or when playing from behind and how does Josh work that strategy into his preparation in light of his injury? Um, well, we prepare for everything and then, looking at the situation, pick the play we feel has the best probability of success. Ok, thank you.”

I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

Kent Hull … and I loved the Electric Company.

Season. And, no, before the silly questions arise, I’m not a physician. I don’t have to be. Watch the film, look at his expression.

I think a patient Josh is likely, today. Those who know more than me have broken film down. What an interesting week. Disciplined routes and LA Ram style take what they give you … then pounce.

Analytics agrees with you. Analytics takes score and the likely result of both decisions into consideration given time remaining. “Go for it” adds more than kick even with the high probability of a made FG. Analytics here said”hi for it” offered more points, even with success probabilities considered, than kick at that stage of the game. You take a 70% chance at 7 pts over a 99% chance at 3 pts until time remaining says you don’t. It would have been asinine to go for it with 3 seconds left and down by 2 pts. The problems were play selection and execution.

I’m loyal to my guys. DNA. Von Miller was brought in “to close out games”. I’m now asking myself if we have the coaching staff “to close out games”.

Become a one-human-being in a million, and you can! What’s stopping you?

1968. Richard Nixon was elected President of the United States, for a first term, just five days earlier.

And now, thirteen inches joins thirteen seconds.

They should send this coaching staff to the locker room when the two minute warnings are announced.

Fourth and one.

I was seven years old in 1968.

Cousins is turning into early season Josh.

Damn missed xtra point. I know how critical it is to win by one score, and not to beat teams badly. This was going perfectly. Get a big lead, start calling weird stuff and stop protecting the ball. Let the other team back in it and hang on by the skin of your teeth. NOW we have a four point lead. These guys can’t do anything right.

Buffalo has not lost a 14 point second half home lead since 1968.

Time for the closer, Von.

If you’re goin for it on fourth down, you run it on third.

If the Bills are any good, we’ll see a 56 play, 27 minute and 21 second drive, using no time outs, that ends with a TD with 1 second to play. We can’t continue to score too fast, except when we score too quick.

Asset management. Draft, FA, retain and/or cut bait. First exam: Poyer, Edmunds, Oliver.

Sabres 12, Wings 6 …. during the cold war and on the border of Canada. Without a Cup or Lombardi, the greatest professional sports moment in Buffalo, ever.
