dollars 2 donuts

I'm honored and humbled by your comments, QBB. Thank you. I wish I were a better writer, and focused more. This was (and is) slightly edited in the last hour because it was written initially over the course of 20 minutes based upon something I felt at the moment. ...However, I guess what I "felt" had been brewing for 52 years. Go Bills.

I am not sure that they can, Mike, as they took one of our 9 home games the last go around. I hope I am not wrong.

The Bills should have 1 home preseason game next year, based upon the rotating schedules which gave us 2 this year. They also will have 9 regular seasons games, and no out-of-country contests this time around. If they get home field advantage and/or the 2 seed they will likely see two home playoff games, barring anything unusual should they make it all the way as a three or four seed. That leaves the old girl, Rich-Ralph-New Era-Highmark Stadium, with 12 games left before she calls it day for the last time. She'll be 53 years young by her last go around. For many of us we saw our first ball game there. For some of us we saw a player who was famous before he was infamous, juiced and electric and before our own eyes carrying a football like we had never seen anyone do before. We saw the unbeatable on Monday Night Raiders get beat on Monday Night under her lights and under the stars. We were there when The Streak ended in 1980 with the plea from one endzone banner simply reading "Please." We were there when Fergy and Hooks made Big Ben into something more than just a clock in England. We were there at the start of the playoff magic in 1988 against Houston, and there at mostly its end with our Hall of Fame QB against Jacksonville in '96. We suffered through back to back 2-14 seasons in the mid 80s that gave way to our team's second golden era of the 90s, and we were there for the suffering, and yes surviving, of The Drought. And although her halls were too narrow, and bathrooms too cramped and too few, and her foundations cracked and leaky, and her seating numbers dwindled for the sake of the new and changing NFL, she today shines brighter than ever for the third golden era as the sounds of Mr. Brightside echo throughout her shell. ...and in 12 games we say good bye to her forever. All memories, good or bad. For those of us who've been there, with friends and family alike...with their mom who took them by herself to see a 1979 late season game in the cold all because she loved her son and she knew how much he loved football. For all of us at The Comeback, all 95,000 of us, who'll never forget it as long as we live. For those of us who still have the ticket stub from the final home game in 2007 against the Giants after which we may have told our father, "You never know dad, this may be your last Bills game. So enjoy it, regardless of the loss" only to have him respond, "true."...and hating that it was "true." ...we get 12. For her 53rd year she deserves to be the bell of the ball. She deserves a right and proper send off. She deserves to have everyone of her remaining games in 2025 start with the phrase "Home of the World Champions." She deserves another AFC championship flag waving up high. ...and she most certainly deserves her first ever Super Bowl Champion banner glaring for all to see from her top, and to go along with the silvery Lombardi trophy encased in her foyer. She deserves this as the birth place of so many of our fondest memories...for the things that happened there, and the people who were there with us. Some of whom are gone and like this concrete and steel house with the green pasture, will never be forgotten. Go Bills.

Maybe they needed a 10th pro-bowler?

DM, if you dig deeper it would make you sick to think about how the Bills of the AAFL (1946-50) got screwed out of a birth in the NFL. i believe it was also partially due to George Halas, who almost 30 years earlier screwed the Buffalo football team out of a championship in the fledgling NFL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_NFL_Championship_controversy

I honestly love when we fight over nonsensical or unimportant things based solely on personal opinion. I truly think it is the meat and potatoes of this board. The more acute and arcane here the better. Not gonna lie, it’s a little bit of my jam. It’s why this football board thread about music is completely full of win. Go Bills

John, does that mean "He who shall not be named" will be dressing at CB on Sunday?

Hey everybody. Just a quickie right here in the middle of a likely 100 page thread by kickoff on Sunday. We hate the Ravens and their fans right about now, correct? Just to be clear? I very, very, very, very much do, if my opinion holds any sway with any of you. Anyways, let me know. Go Bills

The 2022 team was so tanked by the end of the year. I have difficulty of even comparing it with anything else in this teams history. This year is different.

I will bring this up every time and I will die on the hill of it being true. Before the Bills playoff game against the Pats the discussion on a Boston radio station was "When will Mack Jones get in to the Hall of Fame?" ...it was not "will" or "if" It was "when." Edit: the back and forth of some of the debate was whether he would be a first ballot HoFer or will he have to wait a few years.

Revenge. Will be serving it cold. ...however there's usually a garnish of some sort and the wife and I have yet to decide on that.

Thus the confusing part to them and not necessarily to their credit. We're built different. It's not just about the W's, its about the ♥️

It has to be so confusing for other teams and fan bases as to why we love this guy so very much. They can suck it. It's not our job to explain ourselves to them. But if they need a short answer...he is so Buffalo you can tell from his hairy shirtless chest on a 6 degree day, and the snort from his nose and beard like a Buffalo shaking his head and getting ready to guard its turf against all comers. He's Buffalo so very hard. Let's F'n Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These Captain’s have something in common. They don’t like to lose. Especially since one of them is the human cheat code under center. Lets Go!!!

WEWYRB 👏👊 Lets Go 🦬!

jcamm, LET’S F***ING GO!!!!!!

Let’s F***ing Go!!!!

Eagles. They went from a joke that I frequently made fun last year and early this year to a battle hardened veteran team that does so many things so very well, with an arguable mvp at RB.

I've seen fires and I've seen fires. ...but I have never seen anything like this. So terrible.

There you go. This is how we change the world, DJ. I’ll get naked and start the revolution. Go Bills!

😄 Please, AJ, some around here may not detect your sarcasm. You know I haven't though a single thing for years! (I just really want an excuse for a 2nd seed bye) GO BILLS!!!

8 teams make the playoffs in each conference. First (Play-In) Round: 8 plays at 5, 7 plays at 6. Wild Card Round: 8/5 winner plays at 4th Division Champion (4th), 7/6 winner plays at 3rd Division Champion (3rd). Division Round: 4th plays 1, 3rd plays 2 Conference Championship: you get it. Division winners actually get some benefit (a week off) along with winning the division and home for 1 week. The 2 seed goes back to a bye, coming closer to the 1 seed with 2 weeks off. The 1 seed gets what it always got, plus the extra week off...stuff it, 1, if you complain about this. You get all the spoils, but it brings the 2 seed closer to you. It adds a lot more to not only the normal competition for the 1 seed, but now more reason to go for the 2. I think its a little much that only the 1 gets a breather. They already have home field advantage all the way through. The Play-In Round you get a 4 game NFL weekend, with possibly (wait for it, although some will hate it) a game on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. ...OK, OK, just Saturday and Sunday, but all games starting at 4:00 and 8:00 PM. Go Bills!

Sierra, I am now worried he is not going to get the call up due to the numbers and the positions that they need to cover. @machine gun kelly @NoHuddleKelly12 I know this is self serving, but I really think the NFL, for the sake of the health of their players, would change this policy for the last two weeks of the season. Maybe not unlimited call ups, but you should be able to call up...let's say 5 players. Honestly, it ends up being for the betterment of the league with respect to the health of some of its players and showcasing some of the younger ones. @Draconator @Pete

I am absolutely comfortable with the final stat line for the game being: Carries Yards TDs Frank Gore Jr. 32 140 2
