Agree, but keep in mind that everything the NFL does is about generating the greatest volume of revenue possible. The league must've realized that interest was falling off for most viewers as the first round stretched into hour 4. So, they clip a couple of minutes. But taking it down to five minutes may put too much of a dent in advertising revenue for television partners ESPN and the NFL Network. It's all about the Benjamins.

How do you put Burrow and Jackson in the top 4 when they've missed multiple games this season? Are you going by legacy rankings or perception going into the season? That means squat today. Drake Maye is statistically a top 4 QB. Maye's team beat Allen's this year. So, if it makes you feel better to think Josh is top dog, ok, but don't forget he also lost to Tua, Penix, and the Houston backup.

Though I'm not completely dismissing this season, next year looks promising, especially if they make finding an elite receiver a priority, and land one. They'll need to address the aging nickel and safety positions, but WR has to be the top target. With the return of their injured D-linemen (hopefully Hoecht can return for the regular season), and maturity of 2nd and 3rd year players like Hairston, Bishop, Carter, Soloman, Sanders, Walker, Strong, Hancock, Jackson*, etc., they should be in good shape if they can shake the injury bug. They have a solid OL and good reserves. A very good TE group. With a couple of key additions through FA and the draft, I look for them the be a dominating team next season. The roster, when healthy, is far from being a disaster, and there's great optimism for next year when they christen their new home. *I'm really pulling for Jackson, but not convinced he's going to be an impact player.

Win division, >1% Make playoffs: 90% Miss playoffs: 23% 😁 (not sure why it was necessary to have a miss playoffs option) I don't believe the Bills' team is as good as it has been in the previous years going into the playoffs. On the plus side, Josh is more experienced at reading defenses and has made improvements in his passing game. On the down side....I think the Patriots are for real and they'll smoke the Bills Sunday on their home field. Here we go again.

George Blanda had grandchildren when he was still an active NFL player. Maybe Travis Henry too 🤔

Good. I have enough AFC East Division Champion sweatshirts and tees, going back to 1990. I need a new one that shows AFC East... 2nd Place, 2025

This will seem insensitive to some, but it's my opinion that the majority of people shouldn't have to forfeit things like availability of peanut doughnuts because of a group of others who have allergies. The burden of avoiding known allergens should be on them. The seller or shop should be able to exonerate themselves of any liability by posting a visible notice that the following substances and food items may be present. Did stadiums stop selling peanuts in the shell or even Crackerjacks? I honestly have no idea. Can I be sued if I bring a bag of peanuts into Highmark and some nearby attendee goes apoplectic? I feel sorry for people who are triggered by nuts, shellfish, or whatever, but I believe those of us who don't suffer should have rights as well. So, how do the peanut doughnut sellers in WNY avoid litigation that's such a concern through the country?

no

I had no idea peanut sticks (as we called them - not fingers) were a WNY thing. I thought they were everywhere. It was one of my favorite doughnut choices when I was growing up. But the ones I recall having as a kid were not the huge handful like the one in this picture or those shown in the movie. They were about half that size. The real question is: why aren't they a regular thing in all doughnut shops across America? Regarding the plausibility of parts in the plot...even though the high school sweetheart moved away, why didn't Uncle (Ralphie Cifaretto) Tommy go ask the sister, who still lived in the house, where TF she was. Better still, why didn't Ralph put the moves on the sister instead? The movie was total fluff. The lead actress had an awful speaking voice. How the hell did she get the gig?

I believe the guy taken 3rd in the 2024 draft will get there first - and probably win.

I was at that one also, but just don’t have much recall about it. I’d driven up from Atlanta the day before, went to the game Sunday, stayed the whole week in Buffalo, and left the following Sunday, stopping at (exactly) halfway point in Cincinnati to watch Kelly play in his second game. Unfortunately, another loss. I wonder how many fans can claim to have watched JKs first two games live.

My first game at Rich, Bills' first Monday Night ABC-TV prime time appearance, October 29, 1973. Bills beat Chiefs 23-14, O.J. goes over 1,000 in game 7. The following season opener, 1974 against the Raiders. O.J. was hurt. Maybe because it's ancient history, but surprisingly, this game rarely gets a mention as one of the great ones. The ending was somewhat like the 13 second game or any other in which there are multiple lead changes in the final couple of minutes. The Bills pulled it out with a pass from Joe Ferguson to Ahmad Rashad (who was known as Bobby Moore when he was traded to the Bills). And the 1980 season opener against the hated Miami Dolphins who had gone 20-0 in the 70's. Beautiful sunny 1pm Sunday game in which the Bills finally ended the streak. Goal posts came down. Looked like the Bills were finally a team to reckon with. That's my big 3. Honorable mention: win against Rams, Dec 7, 1980 Chuck Knox era coming to fruition

I would've simply said winning.

So was the hot dog. Worst P.O.S. hot dog I ever had. You get what you pay for.
