Ya want me to send you photos from all those places? I hit them all!

Only 30 pounds to go! You can do it! I billieve in you.

Not so fast people! I vividly recall the Cowboys starting 0-2 after they thrashed us at the Rose Bowl. Emmitt Smith was suspended if I recall correctly. A few months later they beat us in Atlanta. Ugh!

I felt the same way when I got home from my recent visit. I told everyone I’d weigh 300 pounds if I still lived in WNY.

Just as I suspected. It looked like a core injury. I assumed it was his back from the way he twisted. But it appears it was his stomach instead. Makes me wonder if he’s working out correctly. It’s possible he’s focusing too much on ‘strength’ and not working enough on flexibility.

Agree. Just look at this game as an example. There’s a thread on here about Milano getting hurt. They didn’t even mention it. People wonder why the game was boring? It’s partly because the announcers did a terrible job of keeping anyone the slightest bit interested. Really bad broadcasting.

Yesterday he was like the class clown who infected the rest of his classmates while screwing around in the back row. He even got Nantz to start downloading songs on his phone. What a mess!

Please tell me where I said he should be, or would be, fired?

Tell that to your boss at your next evaluation. “Hey, what do ya want from me? I showed up for the meeting, didn’t I?” Let us know how it goes. 😉

While Romo’s comment was spot on, I’d be interested to see if the league or network doesn’t have a word with him. He and Nantz together made that one of the worst broadcasts I’ve listened to in recent years. The announcers job is to keep eyeballs on screens…..not to make you question whether your time would be better spent cleaning the gutters.

Where’s Mike Stratton when we need him?

Bosa strikes me as the kind of player who feeds off of the motivation of playing meaningful games in front of fans who care. He’ll have that opportunity in Buffalo. Not sure he’s had it in the past.

If nothing else, he’s showing our other DEs what it looks like to rush the passer from the edge. I’m hoping he’s teaching technique to the rest of them.

I’d have to imagine that the Raiders are up there….seeing as how they’re on their fourth home city (if you count Oakland twice) in the last three weeks.

You know it’s not a dome….right? 😉 (And don’t wear white pants. It’s way past Labor Day.)

Brady needs to get far more creative on short yardage downs, including two point conversions. Rolling Allen to the right and giving him the option of a quick toss, or keeping it, looks like something that would work every time, and potentially with less probability of injury than the human pile of the tush push. It makes the defender choose between staying with the RB/TE or going after Josh. We did it once yesterday and picked up the yardage easily. It’s what you do when you have a mobile QB.

As I said, it didn’t look like a hamstring to me. He was pivoting midfield and when he turned he immediately came up injured. I actually thought it was his back but the shoulder sounds right too. I didn’t see his arm extended.

It looked like he tweaked his back trying to pivot chasing Fields.

What kind of phantom penalty is ‘the center moved the ball forward’? Come on NFL! Get your nose of out the Chiefs butt!

Has the TV ever answered? Just curious…..

What’s all this about a 1:00pm kickoff? Everyone knows it starts at 10:00am….here. Don’t come crying to me if you miss it! 😉

That’s amazing! For anyone at the game, did they tell the crowd they were taking the photo? From the looks of the faces it doesn’t look like it. It’d be cool if they did so everyone could smile next time.

I’m curious about the pickled cabbage you mention. There’s a famous steakhouse chain in Southern California that features what sounds like something very similar. Every meal comes with the red cabbage and a simple blue cheese salad side by side. I know it sounds odd but people go just for the salad pairing as they do for the steaks. Is your red cabbage salad a somewhat vinaigery slaw?

Ha! I wish you’d have asked before I visited. I could’ve checked the seats of everyone on TBD. (Kidding) Honest answer: I have no idea. But I will tell you that the roof is REALLY high. Unless the rain is drifting/blowing in your direction it’s hard to believe you won’t be under cover.

What to be watching for next is the laying of the grass playfield. That’s supposed to be installed in the next couple of weeks.
