Say what you want about Ralph, but one thing he was is loyal. He was loyal to Buffalo*, he was loyal to other team owners, he was loyal across the board. Pegula is also loyal and his team is ingrained in the community. I think Ralph would be very pleased. * his estate is building a multimillion dollar park on the Buffalo waterfront, goodness.

True, that. I have noticed: all across my life there are places that need new young blood, including here at TSW. We're all a bunch of day-posting retirees, naps in the afternoon and in bed at 9 PM.

Thanks for that. I had forgotten how good Jim Kelly was. I never compare him to Josh, that would just be a wrong thing to do. I noticed there wasn't a post-game handshake between Levy and Shula. I guess it wasn't a thing back then.

Pegula is just doing house cleaning of his financial portfolio, as men his age like to do. He's getting rid of marginal operations.* He's keeping profitable operations. Nothing to see here. * he'd sell the Sabres if he could, but he would do so at a loss right now and is waiting for them to uptick in value EDIT: * he'd sell the Sabres but they would sell below market value, he is waiting for them to uptick in value

You guessed. You even got the Friggin part which was common among fandom.

I remember one starting Tight End who had cinder blocks for hands. Out of respect, I'm leaving his name out of it. He's been ragged on hard by Bills fans. That must suck.

One of those eBike dudes with no regard for traffic law just got creamed here in the Buffalo area, but he wasn't a kid--he was 40. "The 40-year-old was transported to ECMC to be treated for leg, abdominal and head injuries" https://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/erie-county/amherst/maple-bailey-intersection-closed-in-amherst-after-e-bike-car-crash/

You gave me a momentary chill... I thought is was a breach of Google's systems at first. That would be a catastrophic event, given how many billions of people have their information there. But, it's a breach of passwords from people's PCs, some of which are their Google passwords. That is not quite as earth shattering. A password manager and two-factor authentication my friends, the only way to roll.

The schedule is usually updated late in the summer. It's just one of those quirks that makes TBD loveable. But if you absolutely can't wait:

When you have a whale of a contract like Josh Allen's ($55mil AAV) on your roster, you are limited in the number of other big contracts you can dish out. Beane has said as much. If the QB was Fitzpatrick or some other JAG QB, I suspect Beane would invest more in the RB position--because he would have the money to do so. But the QB is soaking up $55mil a year and options are constrained. Cook might get $10mil from a team in 2026 and that team will not be the Bills.

Allen throws three interceptions.... Rocky's coach was right: women weaken legs. QB play is all foot work 😆

Ohhh, I didn't know he passed. Now I am sad. Reminiscing.... "Robb Riddick 15 TDs 1988"

So many too choose from... What comes to mind right now: Robb Riddick. Whenever Marv Levy had a short yardage situation, he sent in Robb Riddick. It almost always paid off.

The jury is out on whether the voodoo of void years works. Philadelphia has used void years extensively, I'd like to see how their situation looks a year or two from now. I half expect bad things for them.

Dude has probably been going to the local Wegmans all Spring without people bothering him. I know I wouldn't recognize him.

I remember Josh eating the turkey leg on national TV after the win. I imagine Jerry Jones head exploded when viewing that.

"Bishop isn't tough enough" "Kincaid is too skinny" May and June are dry times at the TSW watering hole.

Classic!

In Executive years... he's just a baby. That's the age senior executives hit their stride. He has another 10 years left in him.

I honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. But also in my thoughts are the ones left behind. In my time in the service I am grateful to have never lost a battle buddy. But at the Veterans clinic, I know many who have lost buddy's and they take Memorial Day really hard. It isn't BBQs and picnics for them. Their lives are full of Survivor's Guilt and second guessing. My thoughts are always with them on Memorial Day. I also remember the families and loved ones left behind. They had a loved one ripped away from them, usually in a violent manner. Their heart may heal but it will always bear scars.

For me, it was an age related decision. Snow removal is fun and games until you are 65-ish. After that it becomes a burden. I liked the real estate and lifestyle in the Southtowns better, but since it was a house that I planned on being in until age 75 or more, I chose the Northtowns with less snow. Even with the decreased snow in Amherst, I find wrestling with a snow blower at my age to be an unpleasant experience. I have sidewalks to clear and the town is quick to fine* people who don't clear snow--so I have no choice. * they don't fine you per se, the town will actually uninvited come clear your sidewalk for you and charge you a couple hundred bucks for doing so

One of those awful years yielded the #1 overall draft pick which ended up being Bruce Smith. Silver lining.

Sign him....? Every time you sign some marginal old goat player veteran you are taking away a roster spot from a developing player. The Bills have some nice new young blood I want to see on the roster before Davis.

I don't think the Bills like the plan either, but it's a plan born out of necessity. They just don't have the funds for a play maker. Beane has pretty much said that.

OP "got that feeling" Kind of like when LT Dan "got that feeling" in Forrest Gump. I got that feeling too, about this season. The defense is going to be stout and that will be a difference maker.
