Bobby Hooks

They were never in the dark. If Diggs in a Robin costume doesn’t send electricity coursing through your skin, you need to check that pulse, brother!

So it should probably go to Mahomes and Kelce, but Robin can’t be taller than Batman, I’m sorry. Diggs and Allen. Diggs would rock the $#|t out of a Robin costume.

Tough day? There weren’t many yards to gain on the ground, so he got them in the air along with his TD. He had more yards than anyone not named Diggs. How is that a tough day?

I noticed today they’re saying when they get their injured players back it will be another story. Okay, well they weren’t saying that pre-game. They were going to stomp us as-is. What they seem to be forgetting is we got to Tua without Von. They get players back, but so do we (Von & Poyer). Outside of Tre, that one hurts. I’m hoping we can do something in that regard before the trade deadline. Also, maybe Elam will step up? Idk.

Jesus.

I disagree with this. I see very reasonable expectations here. They’re high on giggle juice like they are every year after a few wins. They’ve been saying this for our match-ups every season for the last three. That’s not to say they can’t be right this time, but yeah, you keep saying it you’re going to be proven right eventually. I just hope it’s not this year, I’d really like to go out there and punch them right in the mouth. Repeatedly if at all possible. I want to be able to read their threads on Monday with my morning coffee. If we lose I won’t be visiting the site. Though they’ll probably just be blaming the refs anyhow, they’re already using the ref excuse before the game began.

Like I said, i like Diggs, but many times where there’s smoke there’s fire and there’s been a bit of smoke. If something was forced on us, I’m saying Adams would be a guy I wouldn’t be bummed about sliding in.

Let me start by saying I love me some Diggs. But I’d consider a multi-team trade or swap straight up that includes him. It might just be all of the off-season chatter. But Diggs seems unhappy to me. He just seems bummed, even when he makes a play. Maybe it’s in my head, but if he does want out, Adams makes a lot of sense. Don’t see Diggs wanting to go to the Raiders which is why I think a multi-team trade would make more sense.

Right? Who’s going to decline Takeo taking a spot in one of their suites! Also, it should be pretty common knowledge they’re building a new stadium as we speak. So the whole thing is kinda silly imo.

Everyone’s expecting a big time shoot-out so I’m thinking it’ll be a low scoring affair. 7-3 at halftime.

I’ve had a strong disliking for the traveling Pittsburgh fans since the original winter classic. Just a bunch of grossy grossersons.

I think it’s just that he likes complaining. But he said he won’t even consider what’s out there until the Bills pay him millions to do it. So unfortunately I don’t think you’re going to get an answer to your question. Even though it’s easy, the right answer is “yeah, you’re right. This situation makes sense. He knows the system and doesn’t break the bank.”

I think your example is a bit over simplified and more situational than you’re painting it to be. I was born and raised in Cheektowaga. Moved away starting at 17 to GA. Then moved back and lived pretty much everywhere you can in the Buffalo area and surrounding suburbs. Had a short stint in AK, finally settled in MD for 12 years before eventually moving about an hour from Buffalo a few years back. Diverse crowds are typically younger college kids. Same as most cities. My friends in Baltimore were from all over the world, save for one towner group from Baltimore that did refer to me as “the guy from Buffalo” but that was a time and place thing. I can guarantee you at that same time there were 30-40 somethings in MD and Tampa that went to their version of Cole’s from their younger years. Just as you could go to the UB campus & bars now and see people from all walk of life. The good thing is you have lots of options, if your Cole’s pals aren’t doing it for you, there are people your age that enjoy the same things you do and would refer to you as just John. You just have to find them, same as any city with human beings living in it. This isn’t a specific city thing you’re describing, it’s a human being thing. Even now living an hour from Buffalo, I’m being described as the guy from Buffalo, but that’s because I’m meeting people that aren’t transplants. Being a transplant is a different experience, but I don’t see it as the towners are doing anything wrong , they’re doing what they like. And that’s what everyone should find for themselves. If your current situation isn’t that. You need to find it, and I have total faith you can do that in Buffalo or any city you find yourself in.

That’s fair. I guess you have to do something in that situation and it wouldn’t have made much sense for us to go that route considering the world was pretty much pro-Bills from that point on. I could see it being kind’ve difficult trying to convince the team to get to where you need to be for game day when that team showed you so much love a few weeks earlier. I feel like that’s partly what contributed at to Diggs displeasure. He needs no help getting motivated and ready for gameday, and I bet he could feel that others weren’t on the same page.

100% agree. Not only the team but the fanbase as well. I give them credit for how they handled the Hamlin situation, but once the missed game affected them negatively they were intolerable. I’m not going to say I wouldn’t be a bit miffed if that happened to us, but the way they went about voicing their displeasure left a bad taste in my mouth. Then leading up to and after their playoff win against us they showed their true colors. Slimy.

I wouldn’t say it was entirely Josh’s win. What Josh needs to understand is that everyone is getting paid big bucks to play this game, and he needs to let them do their jobs. For this to work, it has to be balanced, just as it was Sunday. We don’t need Josh to be Superman, we need him to stay in his lane and do his job while letting others do theirs. I was very happy to see the turnaround and I hope it continues. But it does make me nervous that the bigger the game, the bigger the likelihood Josh tries doing it all himself. Oh, just went back to re-read your post before posting mine and noticed the “mostly jest” comment. Still posting mine, too much work went into it to lose it to the ether.

Not sure, but if I’m a Packers qb, I’m not leaving. If I do I’m taking off Bills week.

I’ve got to imagine this has something to do with him and Mcd’s relationship. Frazier seems more even keeled and probably had a different approach with him.

I don’t have the butterflies in my belly that I was expecting to have for gameday. Idk, I think maybe I’m waiting to see what we’re going to look like. During free agency and the draft I was excited about the moves. On paper this may be the best team we’ve ever had. But something feels off, maybe it’s how we looked on the playoffs? Maybe it’s because I’m worried with all of the attention Josh got in the offseason coupled with a primetime matchup against a division rival, oh and throw in Aaron Rodgers I’m worried happy feet hero ball Josh will show up? 🤷‍♂️

Not until the day of. Usually a few hours before kick-off. More of a butterflies in the belly feel than full on anxiety.

Maybe 12? Idk, I feel like I need to see the Jets game. I hated facing that Jets team without a qb. Rodgers to Wilson should be unreal. What makes me more nervous than the Jets is Josh. Monday nighter against a rival, with a huge name like Rodgers thrown in it, after Josh has pretty much been the face of the NFL for an offseason. This has hero ball, jitter Josh written all over it. If he can stay even keeled and play the game in front of him, I’ll feel much better about this season. On paper this looks like the most talented team, possibly ever (for the Bills), he needs to trust his teammates.

That was the old Bills. Beane signs the good ones now. He’ll do it a year earlier than he should to get a good deal.

Gotcha. Thanks!

This may have already been touched on, but I don’t see it. If Kirksey’s on the PS, couldn’t he be poached?

I don’t disagree. But it’s the reality of the situation. You can’t encourage screaming, and drinking and expect that no one will step out of line. I’ve said this to another poster, but it’s worth repeating. This a humanity thing, not a football stadium thing. You can pretend rage, mental health, etc issues don’t exist, but they’re real and many of those people like going to football games.
