Waterford pa resident here, just 5 min south of erie....... I absolutely hate snow. don't like first snow of the year. don't need it on Christmas. don't do any snow sports...... but at this point i'd be really annoyed if we ended this winter just 1 inch shy of the record. lets just go get that sucker!

for me its a bit closer than you make it out. but i'd be fine with lewis too.... I had to sit through a lot of steeler ball over the years and I think polamalu had every bit the impact that lewis did on the field.... but you make a great point about longevity and that cant be overlooked. becuz everytime you mention troy, you have to when it with, "when he was on the field". his style of play wasn't conducive to longevity or health in general. haha. he missed stretches of time and ultimately didn't sustain a really long career.

i know this is kind of off the beaten path but living on the outskirts of "stiller" country I saw a whole lot of polumalu and the difference in the whole defensive unit when he was on the field vs. not on the field..... he's arguably top 3 all time I could really go for a complete game changer like that. making momentum setting/game altering plays at all 3 levels of the defense. having the GOAT at that position really would be an impactful dynamic.

Saviors obsession with the fins and how we could only hope to have our organization headed in the same direction as them always fascinated me. ..... becuz “next gen” stats

Last I knew Thurman was the only guy to ever lead in scrimmage yds 4 years in a row. Is that still the case?

You are totally downplaying smiths durability and productivity through those touches. Thurmans body was DONE by the time he was in Miami that last season. Transferring Thurman’s 4.2 per carry to another 1700 carries is honestly just foolish. The guys body couldn’t take it. Emmitts did. And tha attribute needs to be equated into the argument.

Ya. That one came from left field. I would say that would nail down somebodies credibility if they called that one. Haha

This is just gold here. Thank you for this.

geez dude....

I have no clue what I want to happen.... I know it involves a qb and that's about it. I've talked myself in and out of about every possible scenario involving that position at this point. just gonna try to sit down after work, grab a big glass of "process" to sip on, and enjoy the draft night hopefully. it just so happens to be my birthday on the 26th so baker Mayfield jumping out of a cake for the bills first round selection would be kinda cool.

yes I do. that being said.... how bout I give you incognito.... explain the other 2 into your theory. one retired due to injury and the other didn't play. or are there conspiracies that go along with those 2 as well? you seem to be chock-full of that sort of nonsense. it was a dumb point(or lack thereof), dude. you didn't think it out and it didn't make any sense...... and i'm the man-child. that's cute.

of the 3 lineman that are gone, 2 are retiring due to injury related issues and the 3rd didn't even start that game. but hey, lets not let those facts cloud up this ridiculous notion..... seems legit.

cool story. thanks for sharing. my wife and I got a hotel room at a new years party that night up in erie pa. I packed my bills tie just in case they pulled it off. after we had got checked we went to a local bar to watch the game.... came back and got dressed up to party all night(with the bills tie that didn't match my suit in the least) at the banquet in the hotel and I seriously had people coming up all night and sincerely congratulating me for the duration. haha. what a night, man..... I'll remember that random bar and that new years party for the rest of my life no matter what other memories the bills make me going forward.

I was only in elementary school back in the glory days of the early 90's and not nearly as emotionally invested. I would have to say my favorite live game memories were EJ manuel to stevie as time wound down against the panthers. at that point I thought we were really on to something with him and the ralph went nuts.... and then even though it was a loss, I made myself really soak the feeling and atmosphere down in Jacksonville this year as we got the ball with a couple minutes left and about 70 yds to go. really made sure I appreciated that scenario and the magnitude. and then obviously I will always remember where I was when boyd broke loose for the td that ultimately helped us into the playoffs, the reactions and the week that followed. so far for me that's an all timer.

I’m expecting 2018 to be the what I thought 17 would be..... bad. Usually the more we get through the offseason and the more I think about it. The more I always talk myself into a good year. I’m feeling the exact opposite for this offseason. The more it goes along and the more I reflect on it the worse I feel about 2018. Oh well. Got a playoff bid in there. Now grab our qb. Take the same lumps we’ve been used to for almost 20 years now and I still think the future is bright.

This is so lame. You can literally look at almost any teams schedule and do this for or against them.

Protected the ball Took the ball away weak afc i personally think we take a slight step back this year just based on the fact I don’t think you can bank on those types of turnovers year in and year out and the AFC can’t possibly be that lame again this year. That being said I can’t stand it when people give “the miracle” all the credit. Bottom line is the bills did what they needed to over 16 games and the ravens didn’t. People usually only use that lame excuse to support a lame narrative about how the old qb was awful, the team still sucks, or that we should have tanked.

anyone remember this place going into the first matchup with Miami when taylor was set to start and Miami had just upset NE? sky. was. falling.

dude...... just whatever man.

well ya.... i'd rather have Mayfield at 2 or wherever else. so whatever. i'm just not huge on allen. but I don't get paid to pick players so i'm not gonna pretend like I ultimately know one way or the other if its gonna pan out.

maybe. but it has nothing to do with signing a dude that had 10 tackles and zero sacks last year......

i'm 200% more on board with only trading up to 5 or 6 and nabbing Mayfield. but if the scenario above ultimately happens i'll......... "trust the process"

ugh.... will you change the freaking record already? you and your typical doom and gloom. the new guys in charge have done plenty already that no other staff has done. will you quit with this crap already? it was the same thing during the season week in and week out the whole last 2 months. I've been confident since the trades in august that they would be going and getting the qb they want and nothing they've done since then says differently. you gotta stop with this stuff man. good lord.

OP's title is a bit dramatic..... was anyone thinking playoffs after Gilmore and woods walked and they unloaded Watkins and darby?

uh. it wasn't good for them. that's why the old qb is now gone. that's why I was ready to move on from him after 16. you just mistake my rational view of the prior qb, and me not having ridiculous takes on him or bashing him constantly, as apparently saying he was good enough. that's not the case. he wasn't good enough. he's gone. and again.... I don't care what the circumstances were. when people say McCarron is gonna open up the pass game they literally have no evidence to back that up. its wishful thinking. the guy managed games on a loaded roster. if people wanna argue they think he's improved since 15 and that's why he'll be an upgrade and open the offense, that's fine...... but the bottom line is he's done nothing to prove it as of yet. can that even be argued? do you look back at 160, 180, 200, and 212 in his four starts and think "oh man, that's an upgrade. that's an upgrade on the passing attack"??? I get it. you're the whole "anyone but taylor" type of guy. but McCarron has shown nothing, outside of one 4th quarter comeback, to show he'll open anything up. if taylors numbers weren't enough for you then how on earths do mccarrons make you think he'll be an upgrade. this isn't me writing off McCarron. I think he may have improved in the last couple of years and I think he might surprise people. but I wont pretend he's an automatic upgrade when the only sample size we have from him is very similar to what we just had.
