    Finally has the  Superstar trait with Quick Draw and Escape Artist abilities.

     

    Quick Draw: Passers with this ability have faster passing animations when they are throwing under pressure

     

    Escape Artist: Passers with this ability are faster and more responsive to user input while rolling out of the pocket.

     

    Lets get it.

    Is there a Hero Ball trait where the player just makes incredibly stupid decisions and turns the ball over for about a quarter?

    He's from the Reid tree with McD.

     

    If Daboll gets a HC job, I'm not against bringing him in as OC.

    Without Reich their offense has stunk

    Wentz has regressed more than any other QB I can remember. He has no anticipation, no pocket presence, and is all over the place with his passes these days. 

    He's also playing behind the worst online I can remember and is getting beaten to a pulp every snap. Some of it is on Wentz but there aren't a lot of QBs who would look good in that situation.

    Luck certainly is a part. Hopefully any team we don't matchup with gets knocked out before we play them.

    Right, but that's the Titans, Browns, Steelers, Ravens, Patriots and honestly the Colts. Realistically in round 1 you're looking at titans, colts, browns, ravens, raiders, patriots or dolphins. Of that list most people would probably pick the Raiders or Dolphins. The Raiders beat KC once and gave them a helluva game the second time. If it's the Dolphins you'd be looking at playing them for a third time and in back to back weeks which is less than ideal.

     

    The next two would probably be the Patriots and Browns and I'm not interested in playing the Patriots a third time given our struggles with them including this year. I know we won the game, but if you weren't worried at the end of that game you are lying and they can shut down an offense with the best of them. Do you want a close game against BB in January? No thank you, they can go beat someone else. The Browns will be a difficult matchup for us based on their running game and Myles Garrett. Mayfield is a liability for them but if we can't stop Chubb and Hunt it won't matter.

     

    The next two for me are the colts and ravens. The colts are well coached, have a variety of running backs and a good defense. Rivers isn't great and he can be a turnover machine at times but again, they want to run it and play off that. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for Frank Reich to put together a gameplan. The ravens have lost their mojo a little bit and I might be overrating them a little but they WILL run the ball and they WILL be physical on D.

     

    I want no part of Tennessee. They do everything that we struggle to stop. They run the ball downhill with a big physical back, they play action pass to the tight end and work the middle of the field with WRs, and they have a QB who can escape and run bit also RPO if you key too hard on Henry. Again, someone else can enjoy them in the opening round.

    While surfing today, I found a thread of Patsie fans with dreams of a KC--Pats matchup for the division title.

     

    Kubler-Ross describe five stages of grief:

    • Denial – The first reaction is denial. In this stage, individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality.
    • Anger
    • Bargaining
    • Depression
    • Acceptance

    Poor SOBs are locked in the denial phase.

    I don't think they get in the division race but they are def in WC situation.

    Cards from that era were just way overproduced. And everybody kept them too thinking they’d be worth money some day. There’s just a lot of them out there today. I’m currently sitting on 10 Jim Kelly rookies probably worth about 10 bucks a piece 

    seriously. they produced way too many and everyone saved them.  take every card you can find from the late 80's and 90's and just set them on fire. if enough people do that some of them might end up being worth something.

    Methinks in the playoffs they'd make some kind of exception and let you bring a guy in and just test the hell out of him 👨‍⚕️

    They just made Denver play a meaningful game with no QBs in the same week that they delayed Pittsburgh and Baltimore.  I don't trust the league to do anything fairly, justly, or correctly. Have a kicker on stand-by.

     

    Furthermore, I don't trust Corey Bojorquez to punt or hold RIGHT NOW so I really don't want him placekicking anything. Ever.

    After a Josh turnover yesterday, I was extra annoyed, flipped my ottoman and it ended up breaking the screen on my fireplace. My stupidity caused me to miss the pick by White as I had to look online to find a replacement screen.

     

    This got me thinking, over the years what have you broken because of over emotion during games, or is it just me and if so the names of any good anger management places would be appreciated :) 

    I broke an ottoman when Stevie Johnson dropped that TD vs. Pittsburgh.  It was inadvertent, I stood with my hands up when I saw he had a chance and then just Hulk smashed when he dropped it.   I also accidentally pulled some stitches in my mouth screaming at my TV during the Titans Forward Lateral.  I had wisdom teeth removed the day before and I wasn't fully with it so I plead mental incompetence on that one.

    There always are 6 or 10 or 12 kickers with NFL experience (some game experience, but at least significant practice experience) bagging groceries somewhere, staying in shape and practicing their kicking.  When your kicker goes down, you just go sign one of those guys.   

     

    I don't see the need to keep kickers on the practice squad.   Practice squad players are essentially free agents - they can leave any time to take a roster spot elsewhere.   If the Bills have a kicker on their practice squad and almost any NFL team offers him a contract to be on the active roster, he's going.  If the Bills don't have one and they need a kicker, a kicker on someone else's practice squad would take the job in a heartbeat.  

     

     

    The problem become if you lose your kicker on a Saturday and don't have time to sign a guy and clear him through protocols.  You put him on the PS just to get him through protocol in advance.  IMO this NEEDS to happen. Kickers don't matter until they matter.  I don't want to go into a playoff game with no kicker because we didn't both to stash one.

    That's almost worth contacting their archivist just to see if they've digitized a record of it.

    I feel like there is probably a microfilm of it somewhere at a minimum. NY public library would be my starting point.

     

    I'm not sure where you are, but the erie county library downtown has it on microfilm back to 1955 apparently. 

     

    Lots of libraries seem to have it, you can search by zip code.

    Speaking of scoreboards... it's a damn shame that the Aud scoreboard isn't somewhere to see.

     

    Someone told me it fell onto the ice.

    No, that was the original one at the new arena that fell. The old one at the Aud hung there until they demolished the building. I agree that it would be cool to have at least a panel of it somewhere but you don't really realize how big those things are, even the small ones.

     

    The thing I always wanted out of the Aud was the big buffalo medallion that hung in the wall in the main entrance.

    I sat below it many many times in the Batavia party zone. It was the black and gray (white) look you see in some of the photos.

     

    One of my favorite memories of my first Bills game ever attended was the first ever Monday night football game at Rich stadium Bills vs Kansas City circa 1973 . Howard Cosell was there along with dandy Don Meredith Iconic booth guys from back in the day. Someone took a tantruming kicking his arms and legs baby and put Cosells head on it with a caption that said "You're our Baby Howard" and displayed it on the scoreboard....They showed a picture of he in the booth laughing at it......fun memory.

    Me too, and if the Bills are who we think they are that won't happen because we'll take care of business from next Sunday until then

    Which team are they? The team that is one very unfortunate play from being 8-2 or the team that is two very fortunate plays away from being 5-5?

    Remember that week 17 game he brought the jets to Buffalo and they had to win to get in the playoffs and the bills were playing for nothing and Fitz futzed

    I do. Doesn't mean I want to see him in that situation again. I can't think of a QB in the league who is more of a flip a coin player than him and I'm not interested in having a guy that I know can show up and throw for 400 yards totally out of the blue like he can. I'd rather see a rookie who has never played in that stadium before in what will likely be less than ideal conditions come out and try to win.

    There's a loop hole, here's the entire order....

     

    https://www.governor.pa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/20201117-SOH-Universal-Face-Coverings-Order-Update.pdf

     

    They can use face shields, attach them to their helmets. So if you're on the field, with your helmet on, you're good. 

     

     

    So you mean there was hysteria caused by people who chose not to read anything further than the headline and maybe paragraph 1?  I'm shocked.

    Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine announced targeted efforts to stem the surge of new COVID-19 cases Tuesday. Anyone who visits from another state will soon be required to have a negative test within 72 hours before entering the state. If they can't or choose not to get a test, or they're still waiting on results, they have to quarantine for 14 days. 

    The same goes for Pennsylvanians visiting other states. They're required to get a test 72 hours prior to returning or they have to quarantine for 14 days. "We really want people to stay at home, to stay in their household, and not to travel," Levine said.

    The order, which goes into effect on Friday, doesn't apply to people who commute to and from another state for work.
