I wonder if Scot Norwood talked to him??

I always liked him after I saw him last year when Phish played the Niners He took a quick slant from Tua over the middle for a long run to the house. I hoped to see him do that for us but until last night he hadn’t done much— but he sure came up big last night.

Great write up as usual. What was very obvious is how energized the D was after Harty’s return. They were just flying to the ball.

Agree. I think we might see the strategy the Bills used against Dallas. Play possession, keep the Bills O on the bench. Toss in an occasional deep throw with one of their speedsters

My family and I had gone out west to ski and it was a perfect ski day. Everybody but me decided to ski.I stubbornly said, I’m watching the game. At halftime I wavered, said I’ll watch one more drive. As I recall Reich threw a pick six and I slammed the door, went to rent some skis, found the lifts were closing, went back, turned on the Tv…and heard, folks you have just witnessed the greatest comeback in the history of professional football!! When we got back to Buffalo, I bought two of Osgood’s tee shirts, one of which I still wear on game days.

We’ve had over 20 dogs but our favorite was a German Shepherd named Calhoun. He was named that because my 12 year old son and I attended a pre season game against the Giants. I told him that we would name our new puppy for whoever scored the winning touchdown.it was Don Calhoun a 10th round draft choice in 1974 who was the hero. Calhoun was a huge part of our family for 12 years!

Great post SoMan I’ve been a fan since I was 12 years old in 1948 and we were playing in the old AAC and lost to the Browns led by Otto Graham. I’ve experienced crushing losses and exciting victories. I’m too old to go to games but I still watch virtually every game and fandom is fun and an important part of my life!

Totally agree. I said to my sons yesterday before the game that he was no longer the happy warrior.Why?. Fixable?. Who knows…

Great post but also remember Bob Kalsu -see post earlier today

It’s a very worthwhile, but little known organization Made me feel good thank you for your comment 👍

On this Veterans Day Bills fans should especially remember Bob Kalsu. Bob was the only U.S. professional athlete to die in Viet Nam. He is memorialized on the Bills Wall of Fame and his life and career documented with a cover story on Sports Illustrated in 2001 . Bob was an All American tackle at Oklahoma and became a starting guard for the Bills in 1968. He was voted the teams top rookie but enlisted at the end of the season. Tragically, he was killed in Vietnam in 1970 This summer I donated my sailboat to a Buffalo waterfront organization a group which teaches veterans, handicapped and underprivileged children how to sail and be safe on the water. When asked what I wanted to name the boat , as a Bills fan since 1948, I immediately thought naming it for a Bill might mean something to these kids. After some thought I decided if they named the boat the Kalsu that might be something that could bring to light a forgotten Bills hero who had given his life for our country. This group does outstanding work bringing joy and maturity to a group of kids and others who otherwise might never have the fun enjoying the water that has been such a big part of many of our lives.

Chiefs problem is their receivers

Several times a game the announcers say nobody is open as the qb tosses the ball away upfield, near nobody and usually out of bounds— is that not a penalty? I’ve never seen it called as such, so how on earth what Josh did, a penalty?

There are no perfect quarter backs ( or other humans) but Josh is d..mn good!!!

Any chance they try a wildcat with Cunningham?

In watching the Sabres last night I saw Devon Levi (aka the Beast) was wearing 27. Coincidence, in honor of Tre, or was he the first Graduate??

While Tua has been red hot and Hill and Waddle are devastating weapons it would not surprise me if the Fish are scheming to primarily use their running game to keep Josh and our O off the field. Mostert has had big games against us and Achane seems as scary fast as Breece Hall. Mix in a few quick slants to Tyreek and we could get burned for some long plays

your math is correct

As someone who has been a fan for 75 years since my first Bills disappointment in 1948 I can say that continual disappointment doesn’t always lead to permanent negativity. I think that it is just human nature with all it’s variability that leads to differing reactions to situations. The spectrum extends from those who always know better (in hindsight) to those who never disagree with the majority view and maintain they and their viewpoint are never wrong despite reality staring them in the face. I think most of us are somewhere in the middle and we vary from being positive or negative depending on a whole host of factors ranging from their childhood experiences to whether their wife was in a good mood last night. In the end, most of us here are Bills fans regardless of the prism through which we view our team.

Don Calhoun I took my 11 year old son to see a Bills preseason game vs. the Giants in 1974. The game was close and we had a new unnamed puppy. I told my son that if the Bills won, whoever scored the winning touchdown would have the honor of having our new dog named for him. Calhoun, a 10th round draft backup to O.J. scored, winning the game and our beloved German Shepherd that was part of our family for 11 years was forever known as Calhoun !!

Fully agree with this but we still need a backup QB. My vote would be Brisket if he's affordable. If money is too tight take a fling on a low draft pick all Mr. Irrelevant! spell check for Brisett!

Nice article about Coach Mc'D in today's WSJ. Behind a paywall but talks about his life from college to the Bills

It was perfect! The perspective of a negative nancy to a T. Obviously we have a terrible coach, a blind GM and a quarterback who takes too many chances😀

you can get cbs in Buffalo but it can't carry TNF because it only is on Prime
