  1. Of course only 4 teams have scored more points than their 322 this year: Ravens - 406 Chiefs - 348 Bucaneers - 340 (this one surprised me) 49ers - 349 Bills - 257 Redskins - 173
  2. Completely agree. It was a microcosm of the game and the Bills season. This is the play I'm still going to remember clearly in 10 years as my memory continues to deteriorate
  3. Teams have to wait until after 1 pm Eastern to sign anyone
  4. It is so nice to see Allen's throws as or before the receivers come out of their breaks! He looks comfortable appears to have a very smooth delivery.
  5. Damn. What horrible news for Jim and his family. Damn.
  6. My second favorite team in the NFL is whoever-is-playing-against -the-Pats*.
  7. I can't believe there isn't more focus on 1) Do not touch it before 10 yards and 2) knock it out of bounds!
  8. I don't know if it is irony, but it is symmetry. I love it!
  9. unable to control
  10. I think he will be inactive. If he did play however, I would expect something like 1 catch on 3 targets for 18 yards; in for 6 plays.
  11. I would be surprised if he plays. Does the coach let other players play if they are not prepared? That said, I'd really like to see him on the sideline.
  12. Only if he is looking for Temp work.
  13. Should he stay, or should he go?
  14. No doubt. Not a bad career so far for an undrafted player. . . .
  15. I don't know, maybe Carson Wentz? Man, I used to love watching Peters play for the Bills. What a monster on the field. Watching opponents cower as he went to break up the kick return wedge (or hold their ground and get destroyed) was always great entertainment.
  16. I think he's saying in the AFC East you go in at a huge advantage because you know you are going to lose 2 to the Patriots*
  17. Hope springs eternal Another year, no losses maybe we suck less?
  18. Congrats J6P. No one mentioned it that I saw, so I need to ask: did she think you actually did something to harm the air conditioner? It was a feature of the apartment, so shouldn't the landlord repair/replace it, just like if the central AC went out? Sorry for the hassle you endured. At least you got a story out of it!
  19. I actually agree that Bran will kill or vanquish the the Night King, likely by manipulating/enabling others to carry out his work Outstanding questions raised by the series: > Do the white walkers bring the winter/cold, or does the cold bring the white walkers? > What does the Night King (NK) and army or the dead want? > What is the relationship between the Night King and Three-Eyed Raven? > What are the powers of the Three-Eyed Raven (TER) besides semi-omniscience? > Is the "Lord of Light" real? (strong indication of yes) > Who / where is the Lord of Light, and what does he want? I think these are all related and tied together. The Long Night happened millennia ago, the last time the white walkers were supposedly seen (at least south of the current wall). My take is that the three-eyed raven over the last century at least has quickly defeated the periodic advance of the Night King through his manipulation of others, and winter has been brief or nonexistent. With the three-eyed raven finally getting very old, he has been unable to check the Night King, who has been playing the long game, gathering a huge army before heading south. My guess is that Bran is the Lord of Light (LOL), and that the power of the TER is to influence others, and control fire/life, the way the NK controls the cold and brings death. With Bran being weak and inexperienced, I think a very long winter will fall until he masters his power, and the Red priests/priestesses will be a major part of pressing back the winter. I suspect the NK will be killed, along with all of the creatures he has animated, but winter will not be gone forever. At least one of the generals will disappear off to the north to return again another year.
  20. I almost put a winky face at the end of my line about littlefinger/Arya, but to paraphrase Tyrion talking about dwarf jokes, it just isn't funny if you explain it at the end.
  21. Yes, that was humor. I don't think a trial by combat would have lasted any longer than his execution did. That Brienne / Arya fight scene may be my favorite of the series. I am not sure GRRM will allow such a homecoming at Winterfell. It was hugely satisfying.
  22. 1) Die saving someone, likely Brienne or Dany/John completing his path of redemption. Alternately, die killing someone (Cersei), completing his path of redemption. 2) That did flash through my mind. Arya is smaller than him, so it would probably be an even fight. 3) They could have broken the parlay truce, but it is against all civilized protocol. To this point I really wanted a shot to show the relative positions of the armies. I suspect it was even-distance from each army and likely meant either side betraying would likely be killed themselves. 4) This was fine, I think. They agreed the urgency was to get North. But still, you are right that a swapping of some men as pseudo-hostages would have made sense. 5) I think they agreed for Euron to be belligerent and end off storming off one way or another by the end off the meeting.
  23. > I like your theory of the Hound killing Cersei, but I don't think he is going to accidentally choke her, unless this is somehow metaphorical (see below) > I think John and Dany's boy is the prince that was promised. More guesses: John dies in battle; Dany dies in childbirth after the war; Tyrion is the acting king until their son is of age. >At the end of the series I think we see a few things: Spring literally returning: snow melting, green sprout etc.. I too suspect all of the dragon’s die, or at very least the last injured one flies off after Dany dies. either this, or we get some indication of dragon eggs. >Also, near the very end someone unassuming kills Arya and reveals himself as Jaqen H’ghar, holding her as she dies. She has stolen many lives from the many-faced God, and only death can pay for life. . . .
  24. Me too! I would have liked that much better. I take it they had just heard of his children being killed in King's Landing and the same news caused them to both name their baby Aegon and for Lyanna to beg Ned to lie and protect him.
