Baby Bean’s surgery was this morning: "Little Brave Bean’s procedure is scheduled for 7am tomorrow morning,“ Jim Kelly posted Tuesday night. ”He is so strong and courageous. And his life has already changed our lives forever. “We are standing on the unshakable truth that God is the One who created our strong and courageous grandson…the One who formed him, knows him, and loves him even more than we do. We are holding on to every promise He has spoken in His Word — because even in this heart-wrenching pain, we believe HE is faithful." “This road has brought us to our knees… There have been moments when tears wouldn’t stop. Moments when all we could do was cry out in anger, anguish, and pain. Moments when we lifted our hands in worship with fragile faith and moments when we were silent, because there were no words left to say,“ Kelly said. But even here — especially here — I know JESUS is near.“ “I know we’re not the only ones going through a heart wrenching situation right now,” he said. “Life and what we hope it to be can drastically change in an instant and we just want you to know that we’re sharing this because we want to remind you too, that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.” https://lancasteronline.com/sports/nfl/jim-kelly-asking-for-prayers-for-his-family-this-road-has-brought-us-to-our/article_c1098938-b61c-59d8-b58a-80b1e7354f51.html

Credit goes to @Luvbills for breaking the unfortunate news in another thread. That thread had to be locked due to no fault of his own. Prayer for the Kelly family - Jesus, please help the whole Kelly family to receive your peace and comfort during this difficult time. Please heal the baby and give the doctors wisdom to know what to do next. Amen.

Here ya go, bro. Jesus, please help the whole Kelly family to receive your peace and comfort during this difficult time. Please heal the baby and give the doctors wisdom to know what to do next. Amen.

I’d assume it’s pretty great as he has 33 TDs total in 13 playoff games (25 passing, 7 rushing and 1 receiving).

That’s our MVP quarterback! Go Bills!!

Go Bills!

@Simon, is this a record for a bump? If not, do you know what the record is?

I agree, Mister Defense! MJS, well said, bro. Couldn't have said it better myself. Go Bills!

Spot on, MGK. Good to hear from you! Yup, while we all want a title, this has been a great half decade of Bills football that we can appreciate. And, hopefully their continued success will produce a Lombardi. While every fan has their own personality and opinion, some of the comments are strange. You’d think you’d be hearing comments like these from other fanbases as they try to argue why their team is better or why the Bills aren’t that good, not from actual Bills fans. Hope you have a great summer. Go Bills!

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. While a title is the ultimate goal, it doesn’t mean that fans can’t appreciate when their team or an individual on the team do good/great things. Like I mentioned upthread, my college basketball team has won five NCAA Championships. There’s still other good/great things they’ve done (team or individual) to appreciate besides the titles. While I hope our continued success leads us to a title, this has been a great half decade of Bills football in many ways. And hopefully it’ll turn into a great decade of Bills football, along with a title. Go Bills!

No, it’s for fanbases that can appreciate when their team accomplishes something good/great, title or not. My college basketball team has won five NCAA Championships. There’s still other good/great things they’ve done to appreciate besides the titles. That said, like I mentioned upthread, I do hope all this success does lead to a title. We all want that. Go Bills!

I get it, we all want a SB title. I even mentioned that I hope this success leads to at least one title. But, why does every good thing they do get negated with “doesn’t mean much, no title”. With the examples I’m about to list, please know I’m not saying you’ve said all of these, I’m just giving examples: -Five straight AFCE titles - “Yeah, but, no titles” -McD best winning percentage coach in Bills history - “Doesn’t mean much” -JA NFL MVP - “Yeah, but no ring” -Highest scoring offense and fewest points allowed defense over five years - “Doesn’t mean anything” I want a title just as much as the next Bills fan, but it doesn’t mean there’s been no good things that have happened and that this team hasn’t had a great run. There’s still things to celebrate. If everything is based on a title no sports franchise is successful because everyone has way more years without titles than they do with titles. We all want a title, but it’s still been a great five years for the Bills and our fan base. Go Bills! Good one, Doc. Thanks for laying down the ground rules! 😃🤣

Just shows how good we’ve had it the past half decade. Man, I hope we can turn this success into a Super Bowl title. Even if it’s just one! We’ve been dominant though and we’re very fortunate to have this run as fans. Go Bills!

Or, “Eh, talk to me when we’re in the playoffs. Just get Bosa (or whoever not named JA) healthy by then.” Completely different and great place to be as fans. Go Bills!

Been a fan since 1988 when the Bills played the Bears in Soldier Field. They lost 24-3. Should’ve known with that loss. 🤣 My kids fandom started in the most recent drought years. My wife went from a casual fan to a diehard fan during the Josh Allen era though.

Yeah, I agree. Some divisions are just tougher than others, and sometimes they beat each other up to where the division champs record isn’t as good. Or, you may have a division winner that faces tougher competition by having a harder schedule. One thought I’ve been OK with when it comes to altering playoff seeding is if a division champ has an under .500 record. In that case, I can see giving a home game to the wildcard team instead of a division winner. Go Bills!

We won the off-season! 🤣 Still cool though. Go Bills!!

Go Bills!

Week 1 - Seeds 8 and 9 play each other. Bye week for every other team that made the playoffs. Week 2 - The winner of week 1 plays the #1 seed. Then, seeding just how it is now. 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5. The rest of the playoff weeks as is. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but there are advantages: 1. The #1 seed isn’t the only one with a bye week 2. Every team who made the playoffs, without having to win a play in game, would get a bye week 3. The #1 seed would have to win three games to get to the Super Bowl like seeds 2-7 would 4. It’d allow a team riddled with injuries who gets healthy or a young team who gets hot a chance at the playoffs. We see it many years where a team is decimated by injuries and it takes their season. Maybe if there was a play in game for seeds 8 and 9 it’d allow a team like this to still have a shot. Or, sometimes we see a young team start to gel in the second half of the season and get hot. It’d allow a team like that a chance to get in by being a 8 or 9 seed 5. It’s one more week of football Just some off-season thoughts. What say you? Go Bills!

"Bills Mafia is the best. The fans, the people of western New York are the best people you'll ever meet in your life and that's kind of what I talked about earlier, the family-like atmosphere in the community, the small-town feel," Allen said. "Everybody kind of knows everybody. I'm just very fortunate to be a part of a community that loves me as much as I love them and being around them and being in western New York. So it's a perfect fit." "I don't want to play anywhere else. Not too often do players get to stay with one team their entire career," Allen said. "This is home to me and it'll never not be home. I'd love to continue to play here as long as I can and when it's time to put the cleats up, hopefully it'll be in Buffalo."

Thanks, @stevewin! @UConn James, @thenorthremembers Hope that’s helpful!

I believe they started a new one. @stevewin, do you have information about this? Go Bills!

Awesome! Make sure you also watch @Big Turk’s post as well. It’s also on page 1 so just scroll down. It’s Josh’s reaction to watching Oishei kids congratulating him. Also on page 1, @stevewin provided info on how to donate to Oishei’s $17k for 17 drive. Thanks, fellas! Go JA! Go Bills! @NewEra, @Success, @dollars 2 donuts, @muppy, @NoHuddleKelly12, @TheWei44, @Let's Go Buffalo, @The Firebaugh Kid, @Alphadawg7, @machine gun kelly
