Harrison Phillips was great tonight

It has to be Weber’s mustard. Has to be.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

Yep still masking and distancing

The Pfizer

Nope, general statement but certainly not you.

The OP to his credit is looking for common ground, asking for things all can agree upon. To the shame of many who have posted, rather than engaging in the spirit of such, you hijack the thread to continue denigrating the other side. Neither side of the political spectrum has all the answers. We should however be able to agree of some basics. I listed several previously. How about focusing on that vs. negativity?

nope, based on 60 years of watching football in the snow.

I think it is more difficult to make the kind of jukes and cuts Jackson normally makes if the footing is bad. Receivers know where they want to get to when they start.

A serious question: why are you here? It is obvious you don't like the Bills and you want to be negative about them; you've picked against them for Saturday. Why are you on a site for Bills fans? Now as to the snow, snow always favors the offensive player, because he knows where he wants to go. WRs know the pattern they have to run, and DB's have to react and are more prone to slipping. Same of course with guys running, although in both cases the ability to make sharp cuts and change of direction are impaired. If you just look at the two QBs, snow would favor Allen's running style more than Jackson. And I presume Allen running will be a part of the game plan again on Saturday. Dobbins would run well in the snow, Singletary maybe not so much. If the weather is dicey, I think the Bills bring up Williams vs. Yeldon as Williams seems to be a more hit the hole and go type runner.

You have arguably the two hottest teams in the league going up against each other. As every other Bills game it comes down to Josh. I think he'll outperform Jackson, but their run game goes up against what has been our biggest weakness all year. Weather could be a factor, but I would argue some snow, slick field, etc. might favor the Bills. It won't affect Josh's ability to throw, and when the WRs know where they're going and the DBs don't, it makes it harder to cover. And seeing the Ravens play a lot of man our passing game could go nuts. Of course, the same argument could be made about their run game. Should be a great game.

He should google Steve Young. 24-23 Bills

And that’s wrong. You are missing the point of the thread. People of differing political persuasions can all agree violence is wrong. But bringing up examples just from your side of the aisle draws people apart.

Two days post second vaccination. Other than some arm soreness the first day, nothing. No fever, no body aches or headache. Nothing. Get your vaccination

To the last point, I have been blessed to be able to continue working during the pandemic. My daughter, who is a professional performer, has not. But she has cobbled together other employment to make do. I think the government in such an emergent situation should help those who are left out in the cold, as we tried to do. The way we did it was flawed. Money should only have been targeted to businesses that were closed, particularly small business, and to unemployed individuals/families. The ultimate answer is to defeat the virus, and I'd rather not get into all that argument again in this thread. I would suggest this attitude of freedoms somehow being taken away was prevalent even before the pandemic.

If folks want to come to the capitol to protest that is their right, as long as it is peaceful. f they turn violent then they need to be taken into custody. And if they pull weapons then law enforcement must answer with lethal force.

Good topic. I’ll take my shot: 1. A fundamental issue that should center any debate between opposing political factions should be the role of government in America, specifically the federal government. Those on the left favor a more expansive role, and in the right a more limited. My opinion is more towards the latter; I think the federal government is involved too much in things that are more appropriately state or local functions, such as education policy. We need to have a serious national debate on this. 2. We should all agree that every American should have the same rights and that any attempt to take away those rights should be fought by all. For example, we all have the right to vote, and any attempt to alter that right should be vigorously opposed. No American should have less rights than others, nor should anyone be offered more rights to somehow make up for perceived historical lack of rights. 3. We should all be able to agree that we live in a free country, but that you expressing your freedom to do something can not interfere with my freedom. As an example, you cannot use your claim of religious freedom to deny me my freedom or my rights. As an example of this our practice writes birth control prescriptions to regulate a woman’s cycle to, in fact, help her get pregnant. And a couple times pharmacists won’t fill it claiming it violates their religious freedom. Wrong. 4. We should all learn the meaning of the word compromise, and demand this of our elected representatives. We need to realize that very few, if any, political issues are black and white and that the best answers to move the country forward are couched in shades of grey. 5. We should all agree that the country as a whole needs a class on civics. 6. We should all be able to agree that America still stands as the greatest experiment in democracy in history, and that we can be proud of our country while acknowledging we have problems. And that’s when one raises a problem and/or questions the government, someone saying - if you don’t like it, leave- is an inadequate response. just some ideas, and I’ll leave it with one more observation. Those protesting at the Capitol last week seemed to claim they were losing their freedoms, that they wanted to take back America. My response is this: how? How are your freedoms being negated? You still have your constitutionally protected rights. You voted, you used your right to protest (and I’ll say here violence in any form of protest should be met with arrest and prosecution), you carry your guns if you like, and so on. From my viewpoint, no freedoms have been removed from that group of protestors. Nor has America been taken away. Those protesting last week still go to their jobs, send their kids to school, and so on. How exactly has America been so changed? If your concern is that there are others who are getting their chance to participate in the American experience, that’s on you, not them. Perhaps someone can explain to me why so many seem to think their America is gone. It’s still there, and as it has since its inception America grows and adapts.

9 hours out from shot #2. Nothing but a killer soreness at the injection site

I’d die first!

Four hours after second vaccine. Feel tired but that may be because I had a hard time sleeping after the victory yesterday and had to be at work by 6 this morning.

I’m not a pharmacologist but I assume anti-inflammatories are in the mix

Just got my second vaccination. I’ll update on any symptoms.

I'm Independent. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats. But the past 4 years the Republican party has not been republican. It's been a Trump cult. True Republicans need to take the party back. They should start by getting rid of Ronna McDaniel as party chair.

Great work as always Shaw. They played their best game, we played an average game for us. But in the end we have Josh Allen and that was enough.

Yeldon. They go with the veteran.
