    The Washington Football Team is better than The Washington Commanders, so you have a point.

     

    I think having BFF having 2 meanings for us Bills fans would be cool.

    When did Italian become a race?

     

    Italian, like Irish, Polish, German, Chinese, etc., were treated as specific "races" for decades.  Given what my Italian friends experienced, this was true for Italians until "The Godfather."

    When ya think of all the strange things that have happened in the last year to the Bills and WNY its crazy:

    1. Kim's Illness
    2. The Tops Shooting
    3. Knox brother dies
    4. The Ariza mess
    5. Hydes season/career (?) ending injury
    6. Blizzard #1, game moved to Detroit
    7. Blizzard #2 , 40 plus people die
    8. A life threatening injury to Hamlin

    ..How much more can one team and community take.

    It has been hard, but we are Buffalo.  We are tough enough to take it and come back stronger.

  3. I think one problem in the passing game with respect to the TEs and RBs is that the line has, to my mind, been so bad that they need to stay in and block, whence we are sending 3 WR into 6 or 7 in coverage.  That will be the Achilles heel of this offense until it is properly addressed.

  4. The old Bills song tapes from the 1990's.  The parody of "Day-o" always gets me going.

     

    The reason?

     

    In January 1991, my then-GF dumped me right before the playoffs, in part because she was annoyed that I wanted to watch Bills and Sabres games instead of watching "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (which I hated and still hate) with her.  I can still hear her telling me, "no other guy I have dated liked sports -- especially like you do."  I wore the pom pom from the 1988 playoff game against Houston the entire week in my red, white, and blue tie-dyed turban the entirety of Super Bowl week.

     

    I decided to come back to Buffalo for the game.  Just outside of Wayne Gretzky-Villegas, erm, Brantford, Ontario, "Day-o" came on.  It was at that point that I felt that getting dumped had been for the best for both of us and I truly caught Super Bowl Fever.

     

    Day-o.  (Day-o)

    Me say "Day-o."  (Me say, "Day-o.")

    Buffalo's going to the Super Bowl.

    no one.  go play the games.   Seems any top 10 team can beat any other top ten team these days.   I just want the bye.   that I want.   over  50% of bye teams win the SB, the closest percentage is 20%.   Health seems to trump all other variables; seems all the teams in the playoffs have strong rosters, the issue is , how much of their roster is on the field playing at 90%+ ?? 

    This is my attitude.   Let us get as healthy as we can and then take on all comers.

  6. If the league officiated to not bias itself towards the pass, then QB salaries would be lower because more teams would be successful running the football with merely solid QBs.  Imagine if teams with merely ordinary quarterbacking but great running games and good defence had done well for the last couple of decades.  Average QB salaries would still be higher than any other position for good reason, but they would not be getting ridiculous.
