Haha that game is lucky that after 17 years it was a nice change over the alternate, but dear god that game was hot doo doo

It's true their toast. Josh is past his prime, Diggs wants out, half the players hate chicken wings, and Damar is a clone

The Big D O... I will leave now lol

Were on to 2024!

This is the most honest and correct response in a while. I have thought since 13 seconds manyyy fans believed that was our "title (even though we still needed to beat the Bengals who did beat us at home and than actually win the SB) and last year was the built up of that feeling that it was our time or owed. Once it didn't happen everything you brought up came out all at once and is what keeps being exhibited any time things are remotely not great over the last bunch of months. I think more fans frankly need to just do what you did and have the honest convo of this is annoying and I wish we could break through.

Tasker is employed by the Bills and ex player. I have found players tend to be less critical then outsiders who never played as they know the preparation and work that goes into everything. Additionally I think he as invested in the Bills winning a title finally as the team itself because if they finally get a ring it kind of closes the door and heals the job they couldn't finish. Tasker is at times a good listen and other times state radio, but I attribute much of that to the fact he was an ex-player and the vast majority of us have never seen .001% of what he has in terms of locker room and the game itself. Also remember Chris Brown has gotten in trouble for being critical a few times past the normal line, so in sense they do play off each other. On the flipside to kind of defend Tasker I have found fans this entire off season from the moment the clock went 0:00 against CIN to be overly harsh, pessimistic, and unwilling to consider some doses of reality that last years team was in fact quite good, the offense while being up and down in the back half was also quite good, and having a teammate nearly die after a world wind of obstacles throughout may finally have just hit the team at the worst possible moment. I do not think anyone on the team coach or player would say the CIN loss was acceptable or make an excuse or deny areas they could improve. Also the Bengals are a very good team, good teams beat good teams believe it or not despite what most fans want to believe. The freak-out over a preseason game vs PIT that means nothing, in a game they didn't game plan for, and more or less just working different personnel through has bordered on the point of comical. I will say this the Dorsey criticism is misguided at him and to me goes to McD. Heading into 2022 they said no excuses even though it was year 1 for Dorsey and virtually no 1st year 1st time OC has made a SB. Then after the season it turned into he will grow from year 1 and be so much better. I buy he will grow, but their basically covering themselves by now saying he was new.

He is also still looking for the murderer!

We truly are the white city on the top of the hill

OJ

Britesmith Brewing is there also. Great atmosphere even if I find their beer to be very basic for craft brewing

I am happy you brought this up as the city of Buffalo itself finally has a good diversity of options that are not beer wings and pizza. Here is a good breakdown of the top family friendly stuff which is in different areas of the city: Canalside/Downtown: Children's museum, carousel, canalside itself and it has boat rides, Sabre store typically is open, naval park, and Pierce Arrow Museum are all in an easy vicinity where you can walk or easy cab ride. There are plenty of eating options from Pearl St, Draft Room, or Southern Tier for starters Outer Harbor: Riverworks is a chaotic mix of everything and has a lot to do and eat, the outer harbor park has really turned into a nice area for those more outdoorsy, and Tiff Farm is right down the street too. Food wise it is more Riverworks, but the South Park area is a drive down the street with some food and the botanical gardes. These two are both by the Albright Knox Art Gallery, Delaware Park & the Zoo which all three are great places themselves to go to with kids and after stop by one of these areas for food or coffee or shopping. Elmwood (south of that area): Still a good spot with a mix of shops, coffee places, and food/drink (maybe not as great as a decade ago but still good) Hertel (north of that area between Delaware Ave to Parkside Ave): Hertel to me is the most up and coming spot at this time. They have a great mix of food and drink options but some really cool stores including a few with Bills apparel that is way cheaper then the major stores.

Haha hey I got something right lol

Typically team goes on field around 12ish. They come out in waves so if you are there at 12 you will def see them. I brought my four year old last year and he loved it.

I have also found stubhub has fallen big time for the service they use to provide unfortunately and I really do not use them much anymore.

So the issue with fan votes, crazy amount of throwbacks etc.. is the loss of identity a team can have and the safety piece with the multiple helmets. I understand fans liking multiple looks and it certainly is good to an extent, but their becomes a point where it goes too far. I have appreciated that the Pegula's with both teams (Sabres took a little longer to get back to where they should've) have kept the same look and not really done anything too wild. Some of the best looks in the NFL are teams that really have not gone too wild like Green Bay Pittsburgh etc.. Atlanta is an example of what happens when you can't find a consistent look and keep going for trendy over solid. I do think the Bills are missing an opportunity revenue wise and fan wise by not doing the red helmet yet, but the league also drags its feet to the point doing a change can take 2-3 years from the moment its approved for even an alternate. So it is very possible the Bills do have a red helmet in the works and it literally is a time crunch. I have personally felt their current look is superior to everything and doing the AFL throwback 2 times a year is enough. If they add the 90s red for a game or two also, then great but I am happy that they have a consistently good look and have avoided the dreaded revision "upgrade" some teams drift to. Helmet wise even though the NFL has approved two helmets now, inventory is still an issue for teams and I have to imagine some teams are skittish to have two helmets with all the head injury issues. Add in the injury with Hamlin last year and I can easily see the Bills punting to another year before going down that road. Some may say that is small potatoes, but between Hamlin and then Pegula's wife the organization has dealt with some major medical issues across the board and I can understand not wanting to press on something the league just got back into.

The AFC East reminds me a bit of last years AFC West. Young up and coming QB with a talented roster LAC/MIA, Older popular vet QB on a younger up and coming team DEN/NYJ, and ceiling limited but if everything goes right they can be a problem NE/LV. I think Miami has a higher ceiling then the Chargers IF Tua is healthy and the Jets just by Rodgers playing adequate are more formidable then the Broncos were (granted that isn't saying much as Hackett was atrocious). With that said though the questions on Tua's health/their defense coming together and Rodgers showing he still has something mixed a coaching staff that hasn't hit .500 are real and valid. I get many want to believe Rodgers just morphs back to MVP form, but age is undefeated and really Brady is the only QB that played at a super high level from 40 on. Again for the Jets even if he is not MVP form but adequate it is still a colossal upgrade, but I am not as bullish on the Jets as a contender as some.

It is beyond depressing that a team with the history the Pirates have and a stadium as nice as they have is consistently an abomination to the sport. Nutting is probably top 3 worst owners with Snyder gone.

For a small period of time with Moore they had a good strategy and did what small market teams should which is develop young talent and mix in prime talent through trades. Then Ventura passed who was their ace and they spent money on vets in the worst ways possible and it was over. Overall across 30 years they are at the bottom with the Pirates as worst orgs in baseball and sports. Now the new owner is more focused right now on the stadium and it will not be an overnight fix so time will be the great determiner, but when the MLB has more chances to make the playoffs then ever you still can't even have fun of being in the hunt in KC. I understand US sports culture is Ring or Nothing obsessed as validating success, but realistically that is an atrocious way to view how strong a team is. The Rays like you said have done wonders with smart drafting and development despite nothing as a payroll. The As until recently were the same. I have thought the Eagles since Loria bought them have been a model NFL team for two decades and they have been rewarded with a ring finally. The Chiefs themselves were pretty good prior to Mahomes and then it hit. Consistency, a solid plan, and patience is why the Steelers have had success basically every decade and the Lions have been well the Lions.

As a Royals fan please leave us out of this. We are the worst team in professional sports and despite drafting at the top for years have no players in the MLB top 50 prospects. Basically we are allowed 2x world series runs every 30 years and go back to irrelevance.

I will agree your post have been adequate of late 😁 You may not have won the offseason, but you 100% have a franchise QB in the making

This is so going on my fridge at home so my wife can see my hard work. Might even laminate it!

Maybe he just means you all have nice butts lol

Gunner was legit this year. I am disappointed I did not win schedule and logistics guru of the year award

As long as Josh is healthy and in his prime I feel fine that they will make the playoffs every year with a shot at the SB. Even last year when the Bills were the SB favs their odds were like 12% to go the distance. Brady & Rodgers both won SBs as a WC, Stafford and the Rams were the 4 seed in 2021-22 and went the distance. Take Brady out of the equation and you realize almost all the top QBs since the 90s who get a ring needed a little luck or right situation (or both) when their time comes. This years Bills roster is almost equal on paper minus Edmunds gone and the offense right now I feel better with then last year. Division is tougher as is the AFC, but playoffs still should be an absolute. After that its where fortune and Allen can take us.

Ron always seemed temporary to me as Kim unfortunately had to be moved to side with her illness and they needed someone for a while to drive the ship. Again I am a bit surprised that he is gone so soon and I really like him. My thought has been though Terry will be passing the team down to Jessie.
