  1. Band wagon fans will probably be something we will need to deal with for a decade or so. Those of us who bleed Red, White, and Blue just need to remember that our ultimate satisfaction will be greater.
  2. People seem to forget this, for some reason.
  3. Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate... Seriously, I am one of those weirdos who watches the Super Bowl for football. Commercials and halftime don't even register in my brain.
  4. Do we have to deglaze the pot to make full use of these renderings?
  5. I get it. There are still some pundits who think Josh Allen's good play is a mirage while no one I've heard has criticised Tua at all, even when there are clear issues with his game which he clearly needs to work out. It irks me no end. I can see someone overcompensating for their anger at some of the crap Josh still gets in spite of lf his objectively good play to be too hard on Tua.
  6. I just want to bury all potential competition as early as possible. I hate disliking the Brownies. Their local fans, like Green Bay's or a few others, reminded me of Bills fans.
  7. IMHO, power football is the best way to clinch a game as a gift to your defence for a job well done so that they take a bit less punishment before the next game. I remember how much fun it was en route to the 4 Super Bowls that the Bills could get the ball with several minutes left, huddle, line up, announce to the universe the play was counter-trey right, let the play clock run down to 1, snap the ball, run the counter, and just demoralise the opposition with an inexorable drive to clinch the game. I want to see this team do THAT before I can really believe in a chance to win a Super Bowl. I need them to close out tough wins with authority.
  8. There is trepidation with Tua? I certainly have not heard it on national broadcasts. I expect Dol-fans to he charged up and optimistic. Other pundits? Not so much. But it's like everyone said "Tua's going to be great," so anything positive is presumed to be incontrovertible proof rather than potential confirmation bias.
  9. Until Steve Tasker, there was no such thing as All Pro Special Teams. His omission is as conspicuous as it is inexcusable.
  10. I am going to be very harsh. This is an affront to humanity. If the Bills did this, then the NFL should go as far out of its way as it needs to to prevent the Bills from ever making the playoffs again. And if he dies of anything resembling natural causes, such as a heart attack, cancer, etc., then the Bills should be forcibly moved to Toronto and all fomer Bills fans and their descendants should be permanently banned from football games at any level in perpetuity.
  11. As someone who threw out his OJ jersey the day of the murders because I was certain he had done them, I am with you. I can state for the record that a LOT of people in WNY knew what kind of sleazeball Harvey Weinstein was back when there was Harvey and Corky. How he got as far as he did still baffles me.
  12. There were never any "sure wins" to begin with; that's why they play the games. "The Bills will do good just to split"? You are saying that it is clearly more likely that Miami sweeps Buffalo than the reverse based on not even 2 weeks' worth of games. Aren't you jumping the gun just a tad? Are you saying that Tua is what Allen should be or that the Bills' defence against the Rams was a mirage? Explain yourself in detail with logic, statistics, and game analysis please, because I don't see it.
  13. No season is a "given" unless you are a cheater and/or the league loads the dice for you. The Bills will probably lose at least 1 game they shouldn't and could lose as many as 6 games. The Bills must be ready to face every team throwing the kitchen sink at them each game. Now that I have got that out of the way, I am glad that I don't just hope that the Bills might win each game -- I EXPECT that the Bills WILL win each game, regardless of the opponent or location. I will get ticked off about every loss, but I am focusing on enjoying myself like I did in other seasons when I knew the Bills had a good team and dreamt about an eventual Super Bowl victory.
  14. I feel like advising people to just worry about the Bills' performance and not over-react would be like "Young Fred" in the following exchange from "Yellow Submarine" (1968): Young Fred: Don't touch that button! (Ringo presses the indicated button. He is ejected into the Sea of Monsters.) Young Fred: It was the Panic Button.
  15. As long as the Bills beat teams from both conferences in the playoffs, why should I care about how the talking heads react to Miami's win?
  16. Doctor Who: The Savages (by Ian Stuart Black, 4 episodes), telesnap reconstruction.
  17. Best one was from 1990: Day-O. (Day-O.) Me say Day-O. (Me say Day-O.) Buffalo's going to the Super Bowl. ... My ex-GF at the time had just dumped me before the playoff game against Miami, in part because she could not understand how I was such an exception from her old BFs because I was so into sports. (What I found out was that her previous guys suppressed it to keep her happy. I had no such phoniness. Similarly, they feigned interest in Doctor Who while I had tapes of episodes not available in the US.) I drove from Lansing to Buffalo after my last class Friday and officially caught Super Bowl Fever when I heard this just outside of Wayne Gretzkyville (Brantford, Ont.).
  18. I miss Rooties. It won the Best Wings prize in the initial Wing Fest.
  19. Great video. Being a Bills fan is a blessing.
