And also Ricky Williams.

Damn...this is a hell of an explanation! You really know your stuff. Thank you.

Wait...what?

Good post! Let's add: Panera Bread = Bread Basket Bread And while not quite the same: PIN number = personal identification number number ABS brakes = anti-lock braking system brakes And a few others, but I am drawing a blank right now.

Weeks?! Try, months or years, lol. :-) 😄

Try most Costcos (at least in the northern part of California...except the northwest coast)). It is $4.37 a gallon for 87 grade at Costco in Concord, CA. Costco in San Luis Obispo is $4.39 a gallon. Not trying to shill for Costco, but if anyone is not a member, it is worth the low cost of membership for just the gas savings alone. Plus, it is "Top Tier" gas, unlike Sam's Club, Walmart. or BJ's Wholesale Club, for example.

Or Calgary Flames...used to be the Atlanta Flames. Or the San Francisco Giants...used to be the NY Giants. Arizona/Phoenix Cardinals...used to be the St. Louis Cardinals. And the Tennessee Titans used to be the Tennessee Oilers. And the New Orleans Pelicans used to be the New Orleans Hornets.

If we play Indy in the divisionals or AFCCG, we would still be at home for that, so we could have 2 home games regardless. Heck, I think we could conceivably host 3 games, if 6 and 7 upset 3 and 2, respectively, and 7 then goes on to upset 1. So, correct me if I am wrong, the optimal situation would the number 4 Bills beating number 5 New England in the WC, then hosting the number 6 Colts or Raiders in the divisionals, then hosting the number 7 Colts or Chargers in the AFCCG. This assumes Patriots, Chiefs, and Bengals wins and the Steelers not getting into the post-season, all of which are very likely (well, except maybe the Patriots beating Miami).

That, and Jameis Winston stealing crab legs.

Oh duh! I hadn't looked at that thread that closely. Thanks for telling me.

Yep, but if Rodgers goes, we are looking at hosting either Tennessee or the Patriots opening Thursday! (unless, on the outside chance, Green Bay gets someone like Russell Wilson)

Josh still has a chance to beat some of the following this post-season: Cardinals, Bucs, Packers, Colts, and, unlikely, the Ravens and Eagles. Let's hope we can knock off a few this year still!

You mean this one?! I hate it too: And this one too:

Or we could have not lost stupidly to the Jaguars and Steelers. But it is what it is, sadly. I bet the Bills wish they could have "do overs", lol.

The NFL will have the Chiefs and Titans playing at the same time to prevent this. They move the games around the final week to prevent unfair advantages.

I don't know about that one, lol. When I was turning 13, I got an Atari 2600 and toy pool table for Christmas. I played with those things obsessively, for years. Of course, this was 1982 and the Bills finished 4-5-1 and out of the expanded playoffs in a strike-shortened season. There were no divisions, but Miami, the Jets, and New England all made the playoffs. The Jets stunned the Steelers and number one ranked Raiders, while Miami went to the SB. I froze my butt off enough delivering newspapers each day and walking to school. The last thing I would want is more freezing at Rich Stadium, as it was called back then, lol. But, yeah, I'm sure these kids would love the experience, especially with the Bills winning. [Sidenote: Back then, our home games were often blacked out, so we sat in the living room around the radio listening to Van Miller's broadcast..for real! I had to experience the 1984 0-11 Bills vs. 7-4 Dallas victory this way, as well as the Roland Hooks Hail Mary vs. New England in 1981, both in Week 12 in November]

Another thing that is weird: the NHL point standing system. Both regulation and overtime wins are 2 point each, but an overtime loss is 1 point. So, an overtime loss is worth more than a regulation loss, but a regulation win is worth no more than an overtime win? Is a complete game 2 or 3 points? Shouldn't it be something like 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for an overtime win, and 1 point for an overtime loss?

Not really relevant to this thread, but this got me thinking of other systems beside QB rating, not based on 10, most likely for good reason. Things I thought of: Wonderlic scores GPA many (all?) college entrance exams (SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, etc.) imperial units (English measuring system: length, area, mass, weight, volume) Fahrenheit scale (temperature) BMI Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Elo rating system (mostly used in chess) time, including calendar systems astronomical system of units (such as light years) many medical systems, like cancer tumor stages radio spectrum (AM, FM)?? Obviously, there are many more.

In this video, at about 0:18, Judon appears to try to punch Allen or the ball when he is down, but then offers him a hand getting up: https://www.nfl.com/videos/josh-allen-s-best-plays-from-3-td-game-week-16

I enjoyed the KC game. 😄

Good idea! Let's add to this poll: Threads with just a link, and no description or opinion. We get to be surprised if we click on the link. This is laziness, or a rush to be the first to post it. Threads with a post full of typos, grammatical errors, and/or no punctuation or paragraphing. Threads with a mystery or vague title (which the poster is trying to entice you to open to read his content). Threads where the poster can't get the player's name right, sometimes repeatedly (Who is "Levon"??!!). Thread where the poster never comes back and posts again. Threads wanting any player whom a team cuts, even if they suck. Threads advocating to draft a certain player, at least before the season ends. Threads saying it's the end of the world and let's fire McBeane any time after any Bills loss. Troll threads, especially disguised as supporting the Bills. Many (but certainly not all) of the threads started by new posters. Threads where the poster just wants attention, even if they try to be nice (I guess that falls under troll threads). Threads repeating a topic, especially if it is currently posted on the first page. Threads violating the COC. Threads where the poster just wants a fight, or is very combative, or is not really wanting to listen to other opinions. "Call out" threads (although there haven't been many on this site--credit to the moderators, I guess?). What else?

Buffalo has made the AFC Conference Championship Game five times in the past before last season (1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993). We made the playoffs the next year in four of those five years, so we have a pretty good track record. Just saying...

And a filthy beast too.

Uh, what?? What kind of fans are these? We were a play away from beating them last time when we were working on just half a cylinder.

Mckittrick must be a relative of Levon? Or maybe Ryan Fitzgerald? [OP: edit your title, if you can.]
