You are aware that it's National Para-Normal Day. Your dream could be a rock solid premonition.

I'm starting to get uncomfortable with all the optimism and high expectations around here. We are chock full of player talent--but many are new to each other and the system. They'll need time to gel as a unit. The coaches are pretty much the same coaches as last year. You could view that as a positive in the continuity department, or you could view that as a negative in that their 2018 performance was meh. Josh Allen is good no doubt. But it's too early to anoint him a great. He's going to make second year mistakes. He needs time as well. I'm optimistic, though on a slower schedule than others around here.

Overpriced in my opinion.. $15 dollars per person, if the chartered vehicle is full. If you're in a half filled bus.. your cost goes up. $8 to $10 bucks would been more reasonable. (remember, private tailgating is unaffected by this policy)

Yeah. Beating sucks. I like a good Tase. It's safe, effective and entertaining as hell for anyone there.

I'll work on this as soon as I figure out if it's Laurel or Yanny

Not sure if the Buffalo News link is buried above. Terry and Kim had to do something. The Bills were getting deserved bad publicity. They had to do something to show they actively managing the game day environment-game day experience is a huge priority for the league.

I didn't like it at first, I thought it was childish. But I've changed my mind. It's very politically incorrect--so it makes me smile whenever I read it or hear hear it. It's like sticking it to the man.

2019: the on field talent is there, will the coaches get the most of this talent? I'd say the Bills coaching staff is average on a good day. I don't know... can average coaches with superior players lead to more wins? Or do you need a red hot coaching staff to increase the win column? As an armchair commentator, I'd say 2018 McDermott was average as a game day coach. As the roster improved, can 2019 McDermott improve his performance on game day?

I agree with OP's original sense; though I add a slower timeline. From my fan experience, it seems that offensive line players take time to gel together. If you do a change out on offensive line.. it will take sometime for the new guy to synch up and get used to each other. When you change multiple positions in one training camp (seems likely here) the problem is amplified. I hope fans are patient when the starting unit may not be up to speed the first four of five games this year. I expect a Top-5 offensive line in 2020. We'll see glimpses of it in late 2019.

Billy Jack... you're dating your self with that one.

I mentioned in a different thread, I think part of the Bills decision here was not just getting Knox, but #### blocking New England from getting him. Which if true, makes the price seem more reasonable. Beating New England at their own game...priceless.

I once owned 40 acres of pasture with road frontage. I highly encourage you to lease out the entire part you don't use for yourself to a local farmer. Land that is currently worked and tillable retains high value. Unused land that is starting to get saplings, will decrease in value. I had a guy come in once a year and harvest hay--it kept the land as a working farm, and also gave me money to cover the taxes. Don't ever let it grow to the point a bush hog won't cut it. I don't have NYS experience, so can't help you with cost calculations. Surf here https://www.unitedcountry.com/farmsforsale/ and here https://www.landandfarm.com/ for comps. Good luck, it sounds like a great investment.

I agree with the posters that allude to New England wanting Knox. We jumped ahead of NE by trade, took their man, then NE traded down -- that's how I think it rolled. I like the process. It's big & nasty and has got juice (I'm out of recent cliches).

"Big and Nasty" I believe that's a combo at What-A-Burger.

Dude, your sarcasm needs work. What you said sounds like your real thoughts.

McDermott: You can feel the juice. How can there not be consensus about a player whom you can feel the juice?

But then you have to snap the phone in half... like Breaking Bad with the burner phones.

Lolz.. PTL the trade didn't happen. Lock the thread now.

What a bummer for draft day. This stirs up sad memories, because Mom and Dad passed away in hospice the past few years. But Pancho would not allow for self pity--he wants screamin maniac fans--so that's what I'll be tonight. ..praying for you Pancho..don't eat the Jello at hospice..insist on ice cream.

I've read this rumor from other sources that have our 2020 #1 in the trade up. Bean's not trading 2020 #1 away. If he does, I'll eat my shorts (I'd run them through the wash first).

My measure: will she look good in a Bills jersey, basking in the glory of a victorious home opener? This young lady passes the measure.

I won't watch a show about a dystopia. Real life is pretty negative, who needs to escape into one even worse.

PTL.. can we get that engraved on a monument stone? So we can reference that every time someone says "But Mahomes"?

My my my.. how the world changes. In 1999, when I had DirecTV and Sunday Ticket it was da bomb. Customer support, compared to cable, was outstanding. DirecTV was the place to be. Now, apparently, it sucks. It would be a good case study for an MBA class. Today, I have Verizon Fios and will until you pry it from my cold dead hands. Yes.. it's NFL coverage is lacking.. oh well.

my education and professional accomplishments probably dwarf yours, so please be careful in tossing around words that you might not grasp exactly... Cat fight. Back to the thread.. here's an image of Kate Smith's statue being covered that is sure upset some people.
