Eberflus had Lions -2.5 and wanted to watch the Dallas game in a few.

She’s 59. That’s too old. I need someone young enough that they can administer CPR for quite a while.

The static on the TV is great; how did we ever watch a hockey game on those sets?

Creepy Crawlers was that goo you put into molds and heated up? I remember something similar but it was called Incredible Edibles. God only knows what I was ingesting.

I doubt many fans are coming in from Cali for this game, but they are in for a surprise if they aren’t paying attention.

Is this really an “emerging trend” or just you spitballing? I’ve seen companies hire outside firms/consultants for routine administrative tasks, but hiring out strategic/evaluation services seems like a reach.

It’s kind of like the “Coming Attractions” at the movies - it gives you a heads up that there may be issues. Same with hurricane forecasting - it’s good to have advance warning of a potential problem so people can be aware and make preparations as the data gets refined and more accurate over time. Full disclosure: I have no weather forecasting expertise and I suck at betting on football too.

“Coach: Theoretically speaking, if you could bet on the game, would you bet the under and hope for the best, or bet the over and tank every possession on defense?”

If DraftKings puts out odds for 6” of snow at Highmark, I’ll bet the over - which will guarantee they won’t get any.

The Bills have been putting up 30 points consistently, and the defense has been pretty good in second halves of games. I think the Chiefs’ offense is in position to dramatically improve, given their spotty performance so far. Getting Pacheco, Brown, Schuster and Hopkins into a groove looks scary.

I thought this was the guy that, after delivering the forecast, they pan out and he’s actually in a dunk tank while the sports anchor throws the ball and dunks him.

In 1974 the Bills played the Steelers in the playoffs. In 1980-1981 the Bills were in the playoffs and if Ferguson hadn’t gotten injured, they had a shot. In 1999-2000 the Bills were in the playoffs, including the Music City Miracle. Any playoff appearance is a Super Bowl window!

Ah! Had this version of MNF where you select an offensive play and the opponent selects a defensive play and it lit up the play result on a little grid underneath the field. You could select plays from cards emphasizing the running game, passing game and special teams. The play result was pretty true to reality; if you threw a bomb and the defense was a blitz, you got wrecked. This game was the beginning and end of my football strategy knowledge. 🤣🤣 https://www.ebay.com/itm/374344215318?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=F1cZAkDAT1a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Excellent list! And I hear that @WotAGuy is hung like a horse.

Just to pile on…I get the perspective of needing a championship to be satisfied and feel that way too. The Bills have only had a Super Bowl window 5 times in my lifetime and I would love to see them win one. But I also don’t want to not appreciate what a special player Allen is and how lucky we are to have him on the Bills. It’s hard to believe this is his 7th season already and I am really enjoying seeing him play every week. So I don’t want to lose sight of that and try to enjoy every game he plays, win or lose.

I was trying to remember where I was able to order the specific team sets. In 1970, my father bought three tickets to the Bills - Cincy game; this was the first time we had ever gotten sideline seats AND under the roof to boot! They were $7.50 each and I couldn’t believe he spent that much on them. He worked at DuPont and didn’t make much, but he loved the Bills.

I mentioned the Tudor vibrating football game in another thread and it got my reminiscing about toys I got for Christmas as a kid in the 60s. That football game got a lot of use; I would listen to Bills games on the radio and line the players up according to the Bills game progress. Another was the Johnny 7 OMA. That thing had every kind of gun you could imagine - rifle, handgun, grenade launcher….it only took about a month to lose all the ammo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Seven_OMA The rod hockey game was a blast too. You could develop the coordination to run some specific plays and they would be hard to stop. https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1988448/franklin-rod-hockey.jsp?prdPV=2 My wife bought a vintage Rebound game a few years ago, and my grandkids love to play it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256053364130?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=irvPI7KdQ5O&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The best part was ordering your choice of team uniforms. I had Bills blue and Dallas white.

This is BS. Where is the documentary about the vibrating football game I grew up with? You punks have no idea how difficult it was to throw a pass with that spring arm and felt football. GTFOH. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1813685203/tudor-games-electric-football-9072?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_-toys_and_games&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMI-4ft66z6iQMVz2hHAR3wTSr5EAQYByABEgJ4FvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_21500569338_164907277163_707558291657_pla-314535279060_m__1813685203_584767358&utm_custom2=21500569338&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRK-mup5jo_kqLja-2PSuFxZG&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-4ft66z6iQMVz2hHAR3wTSr5EAQYByABEgJ4FvD_BwE

“In his mugshot, he had several scribbles across his face. It is not clear as to why this was the case.” I’ll take “Batshlt Crazy” for $200 Alex….

Exactly. My butt is like the golden goose of football opinion. I can speak with certainty about things I know nothing about.

I’m tempted to go Eagles, Tampa, Chargers and Saints. So you’ll want to avoid those given my recent track record.

Your neighbor is Patrick Mahomes?

I was just joking around, but the Lions play on turkey day, so it’s available if needed.

Eff that. I’ve already booked the Super 8 in downtown Detroit for Saturday through Thursday. YOLO
