Always look forward to football season with my Bills. Can't say I've ever had a year in which apathy set it. May be different for me than some others. I never dedicate my free relaxation time to vegging out on the sofa with college ball, baseball, basketball, or hockey, so Bills' football is my guilty pleasure every fall. When I was younger I enjoyed basketball and hockey, but I just can't go halfway into it. It's all or nothing, so I don't bother at all. To me it's like a Netflix episodic series. You're either going to be committed to it 100% or eschew it altogether. No point is just watching 2 0r 3. Baseball? When we were kids, everyone watched the world series. There used to be afternoon world series games that we'd catch when we came home from school. My hometown Braves won the world series a couple of years ago. I couldn't tell you a single player on that team. That's how much I GAF. So, the short answer for me is that Bills' football season is for me like Christmas for kids. Always involved every year.

I'm curious as to how the teams know if you're selling. The last time I attended a game, printed tickets were still being issued, so I'm not familiar with some of the technological changes and protocol since then. Do the teams have some level of oversight with digital tickets when they're transferred to another party?

Wide Receiver Donald Jones. What I remember: Nothing. Not a thing. When he came on WGR radio program 'One Bills Live' and was described as a former Bill wide receiver, I had absolutely no recollection of him. And I have a pretty good memory. I had the NFL Sunday Ticket through all those years, so I know I saw every game. Somehow, even after having caught 82 passes, he never made a dent in my Bills' memories. Maybe the name was too common. 🤔 Undrafted 2010. With Bills through 2012, then released. Signed by Pats in 2013. Got cut in training camp. Retired.

I obviously didn’t read the whole thread. I’m only concerned with responses to my posts. 🙃

Only if you’re strictly measuring in financial return. A return on investment can also be measured in utility, value, and personal enjoyment. To use a real property appraisal analogy, if you install an in ground pool in your backyard, is that an investment? Probably not unless there’s mass neighborhood conformity. BUT, it is an investment in terms of your family’s use, enjoyment; and memories being created. Same principle for ‘investing’ in PSls and season tickets. There’s a return from the enjoyment.

😀Kansas City here I come

I’ll be in Bflo for the first time in six years on that date. If I had young kids to take it might be worthwhile, but not that excited about any scheduled event. Probably spend most of my time chowing down on the local foods I’ve been missing, and the rest of the time throwing up, since I’m not used to eating like that.

Trivia that’ll never come up on trivia night; The album cover photo for With The Beatles was taken on my birthday, as was the Hey Jude LP cover. 🙃

That is very cool. Have not seen that before. Thanks for sharing.

You’re mistaken if you expect more than a handful of seniors to get the reference. BTW- see if you can spot him on the Sgt Pepper album cover 😉

So sad. How will he take care of his fambly?

Have you ever wondered if they get frustrated with their heavenly vantage point showing the top of everyone's heads?

Looking at head-to-head, McDermott has done well against the coaches on that list. A couple of near misses (Eagles, Broncos) thanks to FGs. But beyond that, lists and rankings are subjective. They're typically nothing more than a means for lazy content providers to publish something to stir up debate and get clicks when they've got nothing to write about.

Without reading through the 4 pages of this thread, has anyone yet asked/answered the question: What is McDermott's head-to-head record against the more highly-rated coaches?

Excited to see the Bills play live, here in Atlanta, and eager to watch as Bills Mafia takes over the city and the stadium. Barring injury (to me or him), it will be my first opportunity to watch Josh in-person. side note: For many years I never missed at least one game each season. Even living in Atlanta I had Bills season tickets for a couple of seasons during the Super Bowl years. This it the longest period (since 2008) in my life I've gone without seeing them play. I may try to get up to Highmark one last time before it's over. Go Bills!
