You described it perfectly. Thank you. Forgive us with PTSD from the Cardinals game.

I don't know about you. But I didn't find the game put away until the final buzzer. A late TD plus an onside kick would have been heart stopping, because the Bills D was porous at that point. Admit it: who wasn't thinking Cardinals 2.0 when that hail mary was caught?

After today's lukewarm effort from the Bills, won in the final seconds: I'd say it's a toss up who wins the division. Miami is doing well. I could imagine them tieing us for the lead in the next few weeks. Then the final game of the season will be the decision maker.

Well, he's doing his part time gig from State Farm. Ba dum tiss. Please tip your waitress.

Flores "stable genius" Nice mastery of the current zeitgeist.

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.

I became a Bills fan at 18. Just in time according to demographers. It was back in the day of when if 80,000 seats didn't sell out by Thursday, the game wasn't on TV. So a good portion of my football knowledge came from listening to Van Miller. Back to OP.. declining fans is a problem. NFL teams spend money like a drunken sailor, supported by an addiction to the TV contract. When fans decline the teams need other revenue. Right now there isn't much discussion of expansion but there will be in the future.

Don't F sluts.

The QB is critical, but how you handle it comes down to money. Aaron Rodgers is drawing big bucks all-Star QB money. That has a negative impact on the player quality he can be surrounded with. It's not that the Green Bay GM failed to add those magical pieces that causes GB fans to complain, it's that he couldn't afford to. On the flipside is Josh Allen. He's on his cheap rookie contract. That gave Beane the checkbook power to surround him with Class A talent. When Josh Allen gets expensive, and he will, Bills fans will be sitting back and complaining Beane isn't surrounding Allen with talent. I figure this moment is three years +/- away. One of the things that can save you from the money trap is excellent drafting. So far, Beane looks like an average drafter.

Bruce Smith was an avid student of game film --- Marv Levy caught him studying. That is a habit that would benefit AJ as well.

I expect the Patriots to be motivated against the Bills. Their pride is on the line. It's not going to be a cakewalk. I expect the Bills to win a one score victory with time running out for NE.

Run the ball, and stop the run. That's what it will take to win out.

Nue Vodka. Very smooth. It's no Titos, but then again, it's not priced like Titos is after their latest price increase.

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened ¾ cup granulated sugar ¾ cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 cups NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels 1 cup chopped nuts

Ouch. The pain Brees must be under. I've had bruised ribs and had a hard time breathing. I can't imagine fractures and a collapsed lung.

OK.. Morse didn't start. But did he play?

I'm pleased you don't start threads often.

Bass is going to evolve into Bass-Money, it's like Hauschka-Money except with a longer range. He has some consistency issues right now, but that will clear up.

Some Buffalo Rambling dudes were making fun cause I predicted a loss... big F to them

I remember in the Bills Superbowl era, they would try and keep key players. But they couldn't because the market cost was too much. They lost Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and others because they just didn't have the salary cap. We will see a repeat of this conundrum this off-season. Except it will be worse with a decreasing salary cap. The only way out of the hole is judicious signing of free agents and very smart drafting.

Maybe not the best, but certainly the most unsung: Robb Riddick. When he came in for short yardage, he always got it. I also am a fan of WR Steve Tasker's work on special teams.

As much as I like Ralph: no way he would pay the salaries required to be a contender. He was a cheap SOB (except that time he floated the Raiders a loan). But in his death, he is an amazing philanthropist.

In advance, I feel sorry for any person advanced under this rule. Their career will always be asterisked.

lolz.... so we could all be Europeans watching soccer.

Two thirds? Time to get Leslie Frazier down to Jos. A. Banks and dress him up.
