  1. Had a beer, 2 Sazeracs, one Old Fashioned (latter 3 made by moi). Ready for victory Sunday. Good night, guys, gals and however you identify yourself
  2. Overdue, imo. He is a "good enough" QB - adequate to win just enough games to keep it interesting but unable to pull his team higher. He will have a Rivers-type deal somewhere as a bridge QB.
  3. Working on the honey-do list so I get a peaceful football Sunday
  4. My head says the Chiefs will win but my heart says otherwise. Bills win 33-27
  5. Full honor and respect for you, sir (or madam). Thanks for everything. Asking an honest question - why do you hate it ? I dont know any other way to show my respect for someone who served. If I can learn from your thoughts, I may choose to not say that to the next vet or active service member.
  6. Thats excellent. Earlier this season I doubted his schemes but have been proven wrong. This past weekend's Defense was schemed to perfection. Jackson was basically operating in a 2x2 box which is clearly not his strength. The commitment to stopping the run and Jackson's scrambles, the composure of the players and the adherence to the plan won us that game. Kudos to Frazier.
  7. The issue most analysts have is that they cannot put the Bills in any kind of box. This team really finds different ways to win. The D morphs into whatever it needs to, in order to take away the other teams strength (easy to say, difficult to do) and the O also doesnt have an ego and does what is needed. Having said that, its Allen and Diggs that really keep the other team honest. I have said it and will say it again - the Bills are winning like Belichick and Brady used to win: play disciplined football, minimize mistakes on O, dont lose your composure or cool in the most tense times (Colts and Ravens games), let the other team make key in-game mistakes and play the tough teams close. When Taron Johnson intercepted Jackson, the thought that came to mind (after I had screamed non stop for 5 minutes) is - hey that reminds me of Butler's interception of Wilson in Superbowl 49. Much as I think the Bills will lose to the Chiefs, I wont be surprised if the game is really close or if the Bills sneakily pull it off at the very end.
  8. In December, I took the morning off for the Monday after Superbowl. The Bills better hold up their end and win it all. 😀
  9. I think it was Collinsworth who said last night that the Bills my must have thought - "these guys pretty much shut down Henry last week, why would we think we can do any better ? "
  10. Monumentally stupid on the Texans' part. They should be building around Watson not without him
  11. I am reporting you to the mods and citing "conduct detrimental to the emotional well-being of the northerners"
  12. Visiting my daughter to help her with wedding planning. Returning 2 hours before the game. But that's tomorrow. I have no idea what to do for the rest of today
  13. Funny. I read that and conclude that the match ups favor the Bills.
  14. I did not know that he played for the Jests. But he was one of the worst picks during the drought. Close to McGahee in terms of FO stupidity
  15. Spy implies that he needs to keep up with Jackson if the latter breaks contain. Thats a daunting proposition and if the spy misses, it will set up LJ for a big gain due to the disproportionate number of hats. Instead, limiting LJ will be about gap control and containment.
  16. sum of the age of the 3 oldies = 122 Sum of ages of 5 younguns= 124
  17. That's must have been bloody embarrassing to the team
  18. Funny you say that because after the game I was thinking (without shame) that "that game looked similar to a lot of games the Pats** used to win in the playoffs. Even when getting seemingly dominated, keep your cool, minimize mistakes, make critical plays on offense, great in-game coaching and pull off the close games"
  19. Dont forget ball security. All things being equal, the surest hands against multiple-men tackles will play.
  20. Indeed. Not to forget the efforts of his supporting cast - on that one drive before the half, Davis' 2 toe drag catches were briliiant. Combined with Diggs' usual 100+ yard game and key catches by the as-yet injured Beas and we have a winning combination.
  21. There was some seriously jaw dropping plays going on from Allen. Needless to say, without Allen at the reins, the Bills lose this one by 10+ points.
  22. We were certainly not playing complementary football in the first half (at least). A 25+ yard differential in field position was hurting really badly on both sides of the ball. The #of plays delta correlated with this. If it wasn't for that phenomenal drive prior to the end of the half (read: the Allen-Davis show), this game would have been unsalvageable in the second half.
