  1. I believe the last two games have exposed the lack of depth in our defense. 1. Need CB depth. Norman either needs to get his legs under him, or he’s washed up. Don’t really have anyone else. 2. We miss Star Lotulelei. His ability to run stuff let others do their thing. Oliver and Murphy are certainly suffering without a true run stuffer. 3. We miss a healthy Milano. Having the ability to stop the run helps all aspects of the defense. Free’s up others to do their jobs instead of focusing on both the run and pass. As far as the offense, our o-line is killing Josh. Maybe it’s the schemes called, not sure. Had a few jail breaks yesterday on important downs. Josh has certainly been out of his rhythm the last few games.
  2. Interesting hearing they practiced last week. Wonder what type of punishment the league will impose? I guess it makes me feel a bit better about the season knowing the players knowingly violated league rules causing the number of players with Covid. This may show the leagues precautions are working and keeping the players safe.
  3. Gonna be a miracle for the NFL to play a full season. A miracle if they even finish the season.
  4. Sad news. VH may not have been my favorite band, but he was an excellent guitarist. Sad on many levels. The worst being we are holding on to bands from the 70’s and 80’s like we are. No newer bands playing that type of music any longer.
  5. I see a stoppage after this weeks games with a few weeks to quarantine and set up some sort of “bubble”. Not sure how they can pull it off unless they use multiple stadiums and rotate teams thru. Playing Thursday, Saturday 2 time slots (Would hurt college games), Sunday multiple time slots and Monday. Be difficult as hell.
  6. Someone else said it earlier in the week. Bass does look like Norwood with his helmet on....
  7. Yep. Best $99 I’ve spent on a tool. Home Depot Rigid brand. Pretty darn good.
  8. Go to court. Will probably knock it down to a non-moving violation. That way the municipality keeps the revenue from the ticket and doesn’t send any to Albany.
  9. Welp. Called again and nothing. Have the RZ free only on mobile devices for being a season ticket holder this year. Tried watching it yesterday, but it was periodically blocked stating I don’t have “authorization to watch thIs content”. Believe it’s because of an ongoing dispute between NFL network and DTV. Also, can’t cast the NFL Network app to a TV (which is were the RZ channel is shown) had only audio. Truthfully, all I care about is the RZ channel. Tried the student edition and they blocked my address, my sons address and my daughters address. Appreciate the years I’ve gotten it. Not happy they won’t offer me anything. Girl I spoke to today told me to call back after billing cycle ends and maybe they can work something out. It just ended 2 days ago.
  10. Stupid play. Thankfully we have a good lead
  11. I. Am. Pumped. Up!!
  12. Excited for this game! Without preseason, feel I don’t have a handle in how good they are. Believe today shouldn’t be too difficult for the Bills. Bummed I can’t be there. Usually on the road at 8am, pulling up in Southwestern about 8:40 waiting to turn into the Bills Lots. Cracking our first beers a few minutes past 9:00. Lets go Bills!
  13. The entire team has major expectations this year. They’ve put that pressure on themselves, which is good. Daboll I my mind has less pressure than the offensive players do. It’s on them to execute. It’s on Josh to throw players open to increase the likelihood of positive yardage. Its in Josh to see the whole field and find the best receiver, not just tuck and run. It’s on the offensive line to give Josh time to see plays open, and for them to open holes for the running game. It’s on the receivers to run good routes and catch the ball. It’s in the players to get it done now.
  14. I was working from my home office that day. Had a business installing phone systems and computer/telephone cabling. Was on the phone with a supplier trying to joke with him when he asked me if I knew what had happened. I turned on the TV a few minutes before the first tower fell. I couldn’t believe my eyes. My kids were at daycare that day, their ages were 5 and 4 years old. We live where planes from the Buffalo airport take off and land overhead, about 5 miles from the airport. Their daycare was in a direct path for planes landing. Not knowing what was happening, I jumped in the car and grabbed my kids. Scared that planes may be falling from the sky. Got them home. Watched the TV coverage for the next week as it seemed all life stood still. Couple of vivid memories. Because of where we live, we hear planes regularly. It was the morning when air traffic started again. I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom when I heard the first plane fly overhead in what seemed to be an eternity. I jumped out of my skin hearing that plane. the other memory I have is how considerate people were for the week following. Opening doors for each other, “please” and “thank you”, and courtesy in traffic, The wake up call was the next Monday when I was cut off in traffic and given a hand gesture. To this day it feels like a dream. How could they actually coordinate to successfully hijack that many planes? How could they successfully hit their targets as they did ? How could those towers actually come crumbling down?? How could they all evade airport security and carry out their plan? May god bless those who perished that day and their families and friends.
  15. I have not listened to Buffalo radio in some time. Sirius XM or my DirectTv app in the car (listen only). Used to listen to 550 on a regular basis, haven’t listened for a few years. Afternoon is beyond unlistenable, and even though I like Howard and Jeremy, I can only hear the same take for so long. Used to listen to the pre and post game all the time, have not bothered for the last two years. Radio is going the way of print media. Too many easier, customizable options for the end user. SiriusXM, Spotify/Apple Music/etc. The consumer has proven they are more than willing to pay for subscription services for customized and ad free content.
  16. Got nothing. Have Redzone Mobil for being a season ticket holder this year. would like to have the full package now that I won’t have home games to go to. But if it’s only the Redzone, that’s honestly fine. Just not sure I can play it on a large TV from my phone.
  17. Called and talked to three people. The second person was from the number provided in this thread (thx!), but was disconnected After it seemed I made some headway. 3rd person wasn’t having it. Appreciate when I get the deal, feel they have plenty of discounts if you ask for them. Have not had any issue last few years and hate begging for it. Honestly only keep DTV for the ticket. I guess the question now is, can I watch Redzone Mobil on my TV with a lighting to HDMI adapter? Or do they throttle you from being able to do so?
  18. Binged the first season. Really good show. Christina Applegate is a great actress!
  19. We most likely will never know if Rosen can be a quality NFL QB. Many very good players who ended up in the right situation may have not been as good elsewhere - look at Jerry Hughes. Would Mahomes been as good as he is if he did land with the Bills? He has an excellent offensive minded coach and a very good supporting cast, probably what helped him get to where he is so fast. As for Rosen, kinda feels like Losman to me. Has the physical attributes to be a quality NFL QB, but not the smarts to put it all together.
  20. At least he has his 2nd career to fall back on.
