dollars 2 donuts

Hap, thank you. We blow by this every year as a non-factor. Look, I am probably the biggest Bills fan on here. I literally weigh 490 lbs. * That said I just don't believe we are going to the Show if we are not home all the way through. In the 60 + year history of this franchise they have made it once on the road. I am not going into the analytics of it deeply, just the reality. 14-3 might do it this year. GO BILLS! (* When I'm holding 250 lbs in weights)

Al, it is a good team for him to be on. Both sides get the benefit. Even if he only has a limited/OK season it will help the Commanders out. The leadership he brings is so damn important, too.

I didn't know this. I agree with you, and him. Thanks Watty.

I hear ya. Gregg, it is so weird. I think the division is a hot mess. At their very best I could see every team behind us going somewhere between 9-8 and 7-10...at their VERY BEST, to be clear. It really could be another year of locking up the division early.

Wilson on a good team with a good quarterback would be F'n bonkers. No way EVER should talent be punished at contract time because those around him are bad. Kid, you earned it. Let's hope the team does right be you under center...eventually.

I think it sometimes stifles or arrests the talent that you do have. I also think that there is potential for it to be inorganic or unnatural. In other words it can seem forced. Additionally, although it is disciplined I still think it neuters Josh's individual superlatives at times. I very much like Josh having the knowledge of what has happened lately, but I am also a big believer in "Let Josh Be Josh."

He is going to BALL this year, Augie. Oh he wants it so bad I am not even sure a river of demons could stop him from the second last thing* on his check list: hoisting the Lombardi. (* Children)

Era, even before I saw this thread I thought 51 grabs, 3 a game, would be reasonable for him. Along with your yards and TDs I think it could be perceived as a successful second season in a team where everybody eats.* (* Personally, I am not a fan of the "everybody eats" mantra)

Improved: Coleman, Kincaid and Milano in maybe in his last great LB year. Regressed: You guys are gutless...it is Allen. He has been lights out awesome for so long like an inhabitant of Mount Olympus. Normally I would say the meta-human keeps it going, but...he is married now. As one of the great boxing trainers of all time, Mickey, said, "Women. Weaken. Knees." If he is able to keep us and Mrs. Allen happy in 2025 his image should be carved into Football Mount Rushmore in time for an unveiling next March. Go Bills!

Logic...intentionally done on my part. I knew it was going to be SOMEBODY...and no lie, you were on the SOMEBODY list! 😄

Yeah, this is not a bad move by Cleveland. I take no umbrage with the Browns on this one.

Man...I kind of think I want Ty Johnson to retire a Bill. This role that he plays is easily playable into his early 30s.

Sorry for the delayed response, BF619. This is my first "real" time really back here since the playoff loss. I need that time to decompress.

Amen, Moon. Thank you. I am so with you on that. This game and the thought of it has not phased me one bit.

I remember with this regime when Singletary got hurt his rookie year her was "day-to-day" and we didn't see him for 3 weeks. It has happened multiple times since. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not jumping on the team one bit. Especially when it comes to their players' health. It's just the moment they announced he was day to day I promised those around me he just wasn't going to play against the Chiefs so don't get your hopes. I'll go a step further and I hope I am wrong...he will be questionable, even for the Super Bowl.

I like the move. I think he is a good coach for where they are at this point. If not him, then tell me who else of some skill at the position was going to take THAT job.

Sensei, please let me know what plaza your Dojo is in, and whether there is a taco place next door so I can grab lunch. 👍

Can someone please explain to me why the hell I am not nervous about this game?!

I used to dangle an onion off a string on my belt, which was the fashion at the time...Anyways. I need my shawl and my hot soup.

The age I was the last time the Bills went to the Super Bowl...24 If you look in my post it has a couple of quotes, including major who said he was 18 the last time the Bills made it.

I was 24.

I had the Bills by 10 last week and I was not nervous once before the game. The boys actually let me down a bit by taking their foot off the gas. That is risky. They do that a lot and hopefully it won't cost them at some point in the future. I feel the same this week. Bills 31-21. That does not mean we can't lose. If we do, then heck it happens especially against the Chiefs. The thing is I just feel real comfortable about this game. Go Bills

The day before the '95 road playoff game against Pittsburgh, after we beat Miami at home the previous week, Bruce Smith came down with the flu and did not play. ...yeah, that didn't help.

I wanted Lamar or Allen. I would have been happy with Lamar. I am absolutely, positively sick and tired of this being a Josh Allen thing, alone. I don't see this between Lamar and Burrow. I don't see this between Lamar and Mahomes. You only see the littlest bit between Burrow and Mahomes. However, you get double barrel doses between Allen and Lamar. ...and you get it between Allen and Burrow... ..and you most certainly get it between Allen and Mahomes. and the "this" and the "between" is invariably, "Quarterback (insert name here) is way better than Josh Allen. I don't know why Allen doesn't kill himself already, or at least retire"* * I added that last part.

I know it is terrible, but I am so here for it. Go Wiley, go, and also this just some added sauce for the goose during Championship week. *that doesn't make any sense! Spock said that meaning the odds would be even, blah-blah, blah* Yes, that's why I said it. The more non sensical minutia outside, the less BS inside.
