dollars 2 donuts

I want to be very, very clear on this and I have stated this here before. A couple of years back a buddy of mine who lived in New England was listening to a local sports show and the topic of discussion was about when Mac Jones will make the Hall of Fame. When not if

Happy Birthday to the Bill with the heart of lion. Long live Stefon Diggs and may he forever wear the red, white and blue of the local boys!

I loved the Giants beating the Pats in the SB, twice, and I like Eli, too. However, yeah...generally "OK-to-good" teams in '07 and '11, but with some great plays and great luck are you kidding me...they hoist 2 trophies above their heads in 4 years?!

Why in the world would you leave out the fact that the Bills are up 10-0 in the 2nd quarter when Herbert goes out for the rest of the game with a concussion and Stick leads the Chargers to 37 straight points until we get 10 garbage points in the last 5 minutes? ...and yes...we did kick a field goal down 37-17 with 4 seconds left on the clock. a 40 yarder, 4th and 3.

I left this place for only 2 hours. 🙄 What's next, Gabe Davis is diagnosed with Route Dyslexia and Diggs announces his new gender identification is "non-football"?* (* Which it is 2023 and I am fully supportive of those things that would make individuals feel comfortable and welcome in society...but I wouldn't be happy about this one.)

Yes, he has reached his ceiling, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be even better, if that makes any sense to you. if the surroundings around him are better, he will be even better. Those surroundings include coach and coordinating. BTW, the “ceiling” right now is leading the entire NFL in passing touchdowns. FYI, Josh Allen is only the 3rd QB in Bills history to be leading the nfl in passing touchdowns (we all know he also leads in all touchdowns). The two previous times our signal callers finished at #1: Kelly in ‘91 (31) Fergy in ‘75 (25) I like this ceiling. Go Bills!

I know, too, from inside sources in my home town. Shocking and sad, and yes, that they were headed to the Kiss concert.

Royale, man brother stranger things, right? Let's Go!!!!

Look, I am not saying I am Sean McDermott and I am not saying I'm not, but I will say you have my attention...and I am willing to listen. Don't go drawing attention to this, but if you were to...let's say show up at Bon-Bons on Hertel Avenue at around 8 pm tonight, and head towards the back table by the window (ask Suzy, she knows the one) and if you went ahead and and got a triple order of chicken wings, bourbon BBQ hot, with two tall Yuenglings and a couple of freshly cut Don Diego cigars...well, you're gonna be surprised who shows up. Tell. No one.

👍 N.E.! Best way to see is tonight. Go Bills!

Their thinking and their work have been wrong and nobody here, not me and not you, even needs to go though the litany of "what" and "why" because we actually see it lately week in and week out. We comment about it, repeatedly here. We see it in the plays and see it in the Oline. We are pushing against the same rock but for some reason you want to keep implying that I am stating don't do work and don't study, which I am not. What they are working on, what they are studying, what they are implementing isn't working...so really the answer is do more of that, exactly that, just harder and more focused and it will work?! Does anyone here...do you think that albeit briefly and against suspect teams the Raiders...the mostly s****y Raiders, decided for the last two weeks to doing exactly what McDaniel wanted them to do, but they are just working and studying harder? One of the firm commitments, though, I will make is that sometimes when going over the film we'll say, "oh man, what was Josh thinking, he had a guy right there," isn't really even Josh as much as it is what do you have Josh thinking about and going through before he gets to that point? If we are going to ask the question of, "what's wrong with Josh?" in some of these scenarios maybe we should first ask, "what have we changed for Josh or what are we doing differently with him?" and not run to the eternal well spring of "Gosh, they've figured Allen out.", because that is just an excuse to accept the imposition of the other team's will on the Bills. ...or maybe he just needs to either switch back to the old girlfriend or get over her. Go Bills!

👍 Knowing when to change. Knowing how to best utilize the talent you have. When the League says you should play by a particular book, throw out the book if it isn't working, but don't panic, because the desperate man isn't necessarily better. The answer? Honestly, I don't know. I have heard some good ones recently, but what difference do any of them make if the Bills themselves don't discover them or aren't willing to undertake them? I just know we have lost recently to bad teams around this League (1-1 against 2 out of the bottom 3, and a pass interference call away from possibly being 0-2), while other teams thought to be behind the Bills have defeated teams the Bills have no clue how to up-end, or are incapable of defeating. I watched an impressive initial touchdown drive last week only to see the Bills the next time out feel they have to outthink success. I guess I would just do success until it fails. If my team was lost in the woods for some reason and then had success, I would do that exact same thing, I mean the exact same thing until the other team proved they could stop it, and hopefully by then it would be too much and too late for the other team to make up the difference. "But it is not that simple." Actually it kind of is. They should at least try it.

I am not disagreeing with you at all, but quite simply that's the ballad of the loser. The simplest clichés hold true...good teams win games. If they are not winning, they are not good. The "hard work" is easily equitable to Connery's ('The Rock") line of, "Your "best"?! Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen." They can do a ton of hard work and it may yield the exact same result: 4 whole games, even wins, of meh. Let's hope something goes off with them or they find their way to the holy grail soon because we need Mr. Momentum to pop in and stay through Christmas. GO Bills!

Then if there is a switch, Era, they had better flick it, because the days are getting shorter.

"You can't spell H-U-G-E, without a great big hug, from Hughitt!" Was the line back in the day.

"Well then, I guess there is only one thing left to do."

Tangential to that, Nuch, are we the only team to every lose 4 deciding championships in a row? The Dodgers while in Brooklyn are the only team that comes to mind that might have lost three world series in a row, and I am not even sure about that. EDIT: New York Giants lost the World series in 1911, 1912 and 1913. EDIT 2: Detroit Tigers lost three straight in 1907, 1908 and 1909.

Sweet gobbly-guck did I really fall asleep for a few minutes only to wake up and it is already May 2024 TSW?

Subsequent to that statement will invariably be, "Hey does anyone have a Toblerone?" It is two fold, first it gets them off the subject of how badly the team is playing and secondly it confuses people by forcing them to ask themselves whether they even know what a Toblerone is (we've all *heard* of it), whether they've had one before (please) and whether it is a candy or some sort of European beef stick (it might be both). Next level chess, people. Go Bills!

I need a 2-15 New York Giants team, HUDS. Then I need ownership (just let me dream, OK) to tell the front office and McD that they love you, Beane and McD, but Daboll is back as OC and the only way to get him back was full autonomy...including the first round pick in the draft and that you guys are just going to have to be OK with that. Also, since I'm in dream land all my hair grows back. So lush and wavy.

I agree, and please I meant no disrespect to you and if you took it that way I do apologize. Here’s the very weird other thing, Joe…I don’t know how frustrated I am in general as much as I have…how do I put this…relegated myself to the fact that in my lifetime I may not get to see what I always wanted to see from this team as my days are getting shorter and shorter. I’m closer to the end than I am to the beginning and I can live with this disappointment due to perspective in life and enjoying so many other things I have in it. …it’s just having seen this for so long and thinking in recent years “one or two more things and we’re there, or at least we are back” only to realize…maybe we’re not. Hell, though…it is the journey and not the destination, right?! Go Bills.

The road to 10-7 is not impossible for the Texans and I think they would leap frog the Bills if both teams were tied at that mark. Yeah, the North will eat each other up a bit, but you could still have 3 teams going from there, two in the South and then the two other division leaders. It's going to be tight.

😆 HUDS, side note and only a little related, I haven't played in weeks, but no lie...Gabe drives me crazy in the game. Seriously, if there is a DB near him...I mean just forget it, even if he has the position on the DB.

Don’t tell an old man how to make babies. I was there…THERE during OJ’s 2000 yard season. Also anyone who knows anything as a Bills fan knows it’s lightweight arguments to be bringing up 3-13, when many of us have have been in the stands for 2-14 years and 1 win seasons. The Vikes M.O. lately and in some years past is “really good but not there or can’t get there.” We are three years removed from just appearing in the AFC Championship, less than a year after only the second home playoff loss in Orchard Park history against a team that we have no answers for, in the dying light of one of the great safety tandems in league history and maybe down to a year with a future hall of famer at WR and let alone an all world QB and we are further away now than we were at the start of this decade with EVERYBODY else in the conference seemingly getting better other than the Pats. If being spoiled is being around for more than half a century and no Super Bowls, and 30 years since we’ve even been to one, then I’ll wear the crown easily because I want more than what we have right now and are projecting to be as opposed to wearing the title of Seth Settleman…which…well, obviously others have no problem with that moniker.
