One more 1st down would have been nice.

Many great mentions so far covering different eras and genras.
I would add "Unleashed in the East" by Judas Priest as my favorite "live" metal album. Particularly love their live cover of "Diamonds and Rust". Always wondered what Joan thought of it. Lol

"Big Bang Theory" was on while I was registering, trying to come up with something clever, coming up with nothing. Looked up and noticed Sheldon's T-shirt. "I guess that's as good as anything " Lol

I picked Oliver, Knox and Edmunds.
2 are obvious, but Edmunds extension is priceless entertainment on here for years to come, can’t turn that down.
Bonus, he's so young it could be 6-8 years. 😱😅

I actually found this video oddly entertaining.
I think that was the John Forcade game/loss? If so, I was there, my buddy and I hung out after game walking around inside stadium. Got down on the field, ran into a bummed out Van Miller (in his long fur coat) and had a brief exchange with him. Those were the days (sigh)..... a different world.

Most QBs drafted highly, with the expectation that they will soon be a starter in the NFL, were already recognized as quality QBs in high school. They got recruited by big schools with highly respected football programs. Even those who don't check all of those boxes check at least some of them. Josh Allen played 7 on 7 ball in high school and went to a junior college because no four years school wanted to touch him. He had far less preparation for the pro game than just about anybody we could name. That did not make the present situation (Josh Allen making a leap in year three) inevitable, but in my thinking it makes it far less shocking than for a QB with a more typical path to the pros. In my thinking this is almost a logical next step to what has ben a unique path for an NFL QB going all the way back to the beginning.
Josh's back story is what had me so intrigued at draft time, he was/is a "black swan". A prospect with gold jacket tools, who for many reasons did not benefit from the grooming process a typical top QB pick goes through. Small rural HS, no elite camps, no specialization (multi sport athlete), late bloomer physically (see facial hair). Thus the complete lack of interest from Div 1 and the resulting Juco/Wyoming path. I think this is where data driven analytics failed with him as a prospect? His development process in no way matches the typical players that generate the data. I'm no expert so maybe models try to account for that but it seems like a reasonable assumption.
It all depended on the situation he landed in, but more importantly on him. I was comfortable with this regime's ability to determine if he had what it takes to turn those tools into reality on an NFL field. Luckily for us fans, it's looking like that faith is being rewarded. He is proving to everyone that his work ethic, willingness to improve, and motivation are off the charts. Add all the other intangibles he exhibits and what more can we ask for?

Got there about 7:30 to tailgate. Our Beer froze, had to thaw it in the car. Our propane froze, so we could not grill, tailgate was chips and icy beer. Dressed like the Michelin man, could barely move. Worth every minute of it. Lol

The young'uns on the list won't remember the great joy that one feels when the Bills not only win, but destroy a franchise in the process. After the Houston comeback, the Oilers fired everyone, were never the same, and moved a few years later. Looking at Jerry's expression at the end of the game, I am thinking we might get to feel that joy again this week.
It's been 30 years since I've had this feeling. We have a front office, a coach and yes... a QB for the future. We can all enjoy watching them continue to grow and improve together. They're not there yet, but it's coming. All you "young'uns", like me son, who've known nothing but Bills' misery.... Enjoy the ride.

I find it interesting that Lorenzo is featured given the obvious emphasis on the future. Hopefully bodes will for the teams thinking on his status for 2019.
Long time lurker, first time poster, the new rules spurred me to sign up - hopefully it limits my ability to embarrass myself.
