I remember an epic late season game (or maybe playoffs?) when it was Roman and his Rams against Joe Kapp and his Vikings.
They broke the mold after they made those two.

I say let's trade all of our good players so we can stockpile draft picks. Then we can have a full roster of guys like Erik Flowers and Aaron Maybin.

Adonai is actually not the formal name of God that the Jewish faith refuses to say, out of respect for His name. Adonai is actually the name for the Lord that the Jewish faith substitutes for the name revealed to Moses at the burning bush. What we have in the book of Exodus is simply the Hebrew letters that transliterate as YHWH (often anglicized as Yahweh, but we literally aren't sure how it would have been pronounced as the vowel points have been lost to time). Another word, Jehovah, was the rough mixing of the consonants from YHWH (JHVH) and the vowels from Adonai. Jehovah is not a "real" word but has been used as the "name" of the Lord.
Y'all are all good using Adonai.
You're correct on the name issue, but religious Jews won't say Adonai unless they're actually praying. If they're referring to the contents of a prayer in conversation, for instance, they'll substitute "hashem" or sometimes I've heard "adoshem"

is it Ad-on-ay? Adon-aye? A-done-yay? A-done-knee-ya? A-aron?

Proper pronunciation is Adon-EYE with the accent on the third syllable. Not sure how he says it though. There are lots of strange first names in football.

Having been raised in the Jewish faith this name never fails to crack me up. "Adonai" is Hebrew for "God" and religious Jews are so careful of observing the commandment of not taking God's name in vain, they actually won't say this word unless engaged in formal prayer. In other cases they substitute the word Hashem which means "the name."
I can't wait until he catches a Hail Mary pass.

Kelce is a shadow of himself, honestly. He's still good but not the dominant force he used to be.

Sorry, haven’t read through the entire thread yet. Did Andre have something to say about Diggs recently?Andre voiced his opinion (through his old friend, me) about a post here claiming that Diggs was the best WR in Bills history. Needless to say, Andre didn't agree.

I still think Diggs is better. Put Diggs on that team with all those HOF, what’s it look like? No slight on Reed…Diggs to me is the best we ever had
The return address on Andre's note was "Canton, OH"

Hello my name is Andre Reed and I'm inclined to disagree with you.

That's pretty damn impressive.
It's like a WR who hasn't thrown a pass since high school throwing a ball 65 yards in the air for a TD. Twice in a row (says there was a false start or something on the first play).Wait until he shanks a couple of 30 yard kicks next game.

5 draft years since the AFL/NFL merger has a QB not been drafted in the first round.
6 if you don't count EJ Manuel as a real QB

I'll keep posting this:
1) A colossal failure on the part of the Coaches.
2) See #1
And I'll keep posting this:
The only thing worse than the failure on the field has been the failure to address this for going on three years. The fans and the players (especially the ones remaining from that squad) deserve complete transparency from McDermott. It's the only way we'll ever be able to start moving on from this.

And gets paid more decent big bucks. Class act deserves it all
The way I understand it, you get big bucks for being really good. If "class act" was enough to get big bucks I'd be a wealthy man.

Uh, if Adonai Mitchell is there, run to the Podium in Round 1.
This name really cracks me up. Him and Judah Mintz.

5 Mississippis before anyone is allowed to rush the QB too!
We played 5 "steamboats" in my neighborhood. I guess we were sort of the XFL of street football.

He's still a very good QB.
Is there any evidence to support this?

Fun to read article from SportsDrop on each NFL team's best and worst QBs.
Just remember, this is the guy our current coach picked to start at one point.
Absolutely incredible how this guy ***** the bed when he got the big chance. There have been plenty of really bad QBs for the Bills over the years, but it's hard to argue with just how bad Peterman was when he took the field.
Others you would argue were worse?
Dan Darragh is thankful for Nathan Peterman.

He probably found out that they pulled the goalie.

Last time Bills traded up for a WR?
I believe it was when they took Sammy Watkins. How do you feel about that?
