  1. Non-insurance price. Some special deal from Oticon direct to the audiologist. Only for the Real One. Ask your audiologist. My guy is independent, not part of a franchise.
  2. And credit to Tua for making some throws under duress.
  3. Deone Walker was noticable tonight.
  4. Wow, WGR caller losing his mind because we didn't give the Dolphins the ball at the 2. Did we not score the winning TD of that penalty? 🤡
  5. How was that flukey? Pass rush pressure, reading Tua's eyes, we created that.
  6. Kincaid didn't really drop it. The DB got a hand in there to knock it away. Actually a great play. It happens.
  7. Wow! They recreated the old Central Terminal building.
  8. It happens. They catch you off guard. You adjust.
  9. Hmmm. The Bills D seemed to have adjusted.
  10. Oticons are expensive but high quality. My Real Ones were discounted from Oticon ($3,200) thru my audiologist. If you have one, enquire about that discount program for Real Ones. But there are dozens of brands: Phonak, Phillips, Elehear, etc. Costco carries Phillips which are supposed to be made by Oticon. In fact the Costo Phillips 9050 are supposed to be equal to the top line Oticon Intents.
  11. Deaf was probably the wrong word to use. I can hear plenty. What I can't do is make out words. That's because my hearing in the 1K-4K hz range is really bad. My audiologist described it best: vowels are in the hundreds of hertz, consonants are in the thousands. Consonants carry the information of words. Lose them and you can't understand dialog. Hearing aid technology has come a long way since 2010 when I got my original set. The newest aids have AI tech to know what direction your head is pointing and will focus your listening that way. The noise reduction tech these days is amazing too. Many people like Costco and you can get decent aids for under $2,000 or even $1,000, but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for. My year old tech aids were $3,200. The latest tech runs $6,000. That was my dad. Yes, in fact I'm listening to the Bills pregame streaming directly to my aids. I can take calls too.
  12. I do but I am able to ignore it most of the time. Let your audiologist know what you want because some aids are designed for speech, like the Oticons. That makes sound a little "tinnier" because it's boosting highs more. Being able to converse was my goal.
  13. That "piece of garbage" also owns the Bills and Bandits. Do you have a problem with how those teams are run?
  14. Josh Allen will never give up. He didn't become who he is by throwing in the towel. Bills fans can follow that example. Let go of the BBFS and have some faith.
  15. I'm pretty deaf. Years of way-too-loud concerts and other things left me with a audiogram that looks like the Grand Canyon. I occasionally wear some 20+ years old aids that feedback a lot when I have to hear clearly. But today I went and got, not the latest and greatest, but the best in hearing aid tech from 2024: Oticon Real Ones. They cost a fortune but they are pretty amazing. Not being able to hear damages your ability to socialize. You can only ask people to repeat themselves so much. Being in loud, crowded places are simply the worst. Anyone else shop for hearing aids recently? It's pretty confusing because they come in so many, brands, models and price levels and you can get them online with no help, at Costco, or you go to an experienced audiologist, which I did.
  16. Torrence is supposed to block 44. He fails on the Davis run but succeeds on the Cook run. It's that simple.
  17. Not denying Cook is superior to Ray Davis. He absolutely is. But this comparison clip is total BS. Watch carefully. It's O'Cyrus Torrence's job to come across and block the hole open. When Davis ran the play, the center and inside rusher block his path and Davis gets swallowed up. When Cook runs the play, Torrence makes the key block springing Cook. So this is not as "black and white" as @HappyDays claims. It's more an example of a play blocked correctly versus not.
  18. I used to walk from my house in the St. Stanislaus parish, up Fillmore, left on Best. I recall how many people walked to games and the crowd got thicker as we got closer. It was like a parade. A few years ago I went to one of the last Hamilton Tiger Cat games at the old Ivor Wynn Stadium and it was a total flashback to the old War Memorial days.
  19. Why are we a "bad defense?" Because we got lit up by the best offense in the NFL on opening day?
