  1. -To hear the latest news

    - To hear great analysis with an unapologetic pro-Bills bias, and occasionally read truly inspirational prose (Virgil, Shaw, etc.)

    - The mods - they are what we want refs to be.  I almost never think about them yet they maintain enough order to keep this whole chaotic mess working

    - Freddy's dead's nicknames when he hands out game balls - I'm a fan of all of them!

    - I try to tamp down my overreactions to good and bad games but it's sort of cathartic to come here and see people just let fly

    - At times it’s fun to watch a scrum develop as people get angry over nothing.  (Why did you share that thought!  I just spent 10 seconds of my life reading it and now must compose a note telling you how offended I am!)

    - More Zach Ertz threads would be nice

    - I miss the Edmunds threads

  2. I've been to London many times and my daughter lives there.  Here are a few thoughts (in no particular order) - some relating to booking on your own:  We usually book an airbnb because it gives us a kitchen and a place to just hang out and rest between activities.  But many people prefer a hotel because it's more predictable.  The tube is a great way to get around but if you take a taxi it's worth asking about their training and test because it's mind blowing and it's really fun to hear each drivers experience.  You don't have to have an Oyster Card for the tube if you have a contactless credit card - just tap at the turnstile in and out.  Sometimes I call my credit card company before going to minimize the chance of them wanting additional verification when they see overseas charges but it's usually no problem.  If you drink beer consider trying cask ales or "real ales" that are hand pulled from the keg, very smooth.  Check into your cellphone plan to see if there is an international rate and how it works.  A low cost, cheap and fairly easy way  to get from Heathrow to central London is the tube, it works well especially from the airport to central London because you'll get onto an empty train.  Going the opposite direction can be a minor hassle if it's crowded.  The Heathrow express is super easy if you're heading near Paddington.  Have fun!

  3. I thought that snowballs aimed at the Dolphins bench were fair game because the Dolphins sat our team in the  roasting sun in the game earlier in the year.  The whole thing has a nice Heat Miser Cold Miser dynamic that seems fair to me.  But I didn't see too much of the quid pro quo aspect mentioned in the media - did I miss it?  Just to be transparent I was reprimanded a few times by  authority types about my snowball throwing in 4th and 5th grade but have been clean for the last 50+ years - I always thought that was about average for growing up in Buffalo.

    Couldn't agree more OP.  We all saw how the defense played at the start of the season when healthy.  The parade of defensive injuries kicked off in Week 1 with Oliver getting hurt and it hasn't stopped yet.  The defense has been forced to play practice squad elevations some weeks with key players in and out of the lineup constantly.

     

    The fact that we are sitting here at 8-3 is incredible.  I hope we can finally get the defense healthy for the playoff stretch and bring back the roster that throttled the Rams, Titans and Chiefs. 

     

    I hope the people advocating for Frazier to be fired are trolls.  If not I think they need to lay off the egg nog.

    I agree!  A week ago I tried to summarize the DB situation this year in a couple sentences and just ended confusing myself and others.

    I think Chris Brown said it today - through travel, weather disruptions, and team illness issues, the Bills had maybe 1 or 2 days of full practice in the last 10 days. And McD got this team up to play and win both games. 
     

    And yet, more complaints.

    Yep!  I think coaching is 80% boring, background, details, process and laying up when needed ala tin cup analogy, and McD gets every ounce out of his team for this 80%. One of the reasons I developed a dislike of Belichick is his ability to create oxygen depriving game plans, that are painful to watch unless you find yourself through birth or choice on the dark side.  

     

    If the other 20% is game-day brilliance, creativity and reacting to the unexpected, he's still evolving and was probably better paired with Daboll who was a bit of a mad scientist.  I'm still enjoying the ride and want to see what's around the next bend.

    I am currently in Iceland hoping to find a place to watch the game.  I will ask the residents of the home of Leif Erikson what actual vikings looked like and why there are so many of them prowling the streets of Buffalo this weekend.

     

    What better place is there to watch a Bills-Vikings game!

    Watch Bills-Vikings in a geothermal hot spring, take an icy plunge at halftime - yes I'm jealous!
