Doubt it. He'll be back at some point, even if he's an "in case of emergency, break glass" option...

Available for a bargain price...

For the life of me, I can't see how people take the POV that protesters are criticizing "all cops." Do people lump all Bills fans into the same pot as the one hundred or so that get arrested after each home game? Or make a broad brush statement that all drinkers are the same as a guy with multiple DUIs? The 'Defund the Police' tag line does a huge disservice to reform. Most all people want the police to protect and serve. That's a no-brainer. What the rally cry should have been is "Demilaterize the Police," which is the biggest shift in policing in the past 20 years...and scenes of which pepper that Bills video.

Well worth it for Fairburn and Joe B alone. All the other excellent content is just gravey....

Very well done video of what used to be referred to as "common sense" American attitudes... (And this should be a very useful thread)

Turns out Hy-Vee were already the "official grocery chain" of the Chiefs and had an NFL license, which allowed them to use the KC logo and uniform. Interestingly, it's made by the same company that did Flutie Flakes (PLB Sports & Entertainment out of Pittsburgh). Maybe Josh should have given them a call... https://issuu.com/mrobertsdigital/docs/mahomes_1-6

Welp. Bilbo's bagg'n that cash...

+1 All the smoke signals point to Ford at guard. Which I'm excited to see...

Worst game (and the one that made me decide to give up my season tix): https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200012030buf.htm The Phins were blowing out the Bills 24-0 in the third quarter and were driving again. Miami had a third down at the Bills 13 and got flagged for a personal foul--which would have backed them up just out of Orlindo Mare's field goal range if they didn't convert. For whatever reason, Wade Phillips declined the penalty and Miami kicked the FG. I was so damn pissed at Wade for just rolling over that it broke the camel's back and that was it for me...

Yes, indeed. It was one hell of a catch... "Hooks had made an incredible diving catch down the middle for 37 yards to get the winning drive started. “That was the key catch of the day,” said Ferguson. “Without that one, we wouldn’t have had a chance for the last one.” https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2019/11/22/bills-game-day-nov-22-1981-bills-20-patriots-17-joe-ferguson-roland-hook-hail-mary/2167421001/

So many great memories in the 150+ games I attended as a season tix holder. The glory years games, of course. But here's another, that I attended with my Dad that will always be a highlight... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJNNLuwNMw

LOL. I'll admit, I'm VERY judgemental...and appeciative of the 'ignore user' feature, which I use liberally frequently...

Going to be tough on the kicking game. I hope Bass is ready...

It doesn't even look like Josh to me. My first thought was, "who is that guy?"... Interesting that the NFL allowed Mahones to use the KC logo on his.

TSW as well. This is a very useful thread...

Breaking it into two movies is a good idea. Even at 4+ hours, it might be not enough time to tell the story...

I used to agree with that. But on the other hand, how many bottom half roster guys have been "All SJF" or "All Fredonia" or "All TSW" who actually amounted to a hill of beans? The preseason gives as many false positives as it does negatives, IMO. If a player can play, for the most part it will become obvious in practice with maybe 1-2 roster-quality guys per year not getting enough reps to make their case. I'm trying to think of fringe players who were ultimately kept and developed who's choice was based on preseason game performance. Drawing a blank at the moment...

They were...forty years ago. The Bills used to hold camp at Niagara University when I went there in the early 1980s. They actually spent much of that time getting in shape, which seems quaint today when players work out 24/7. But back then, many guys actually didn't do that and some even held off-season jobs. The evolution of how players maintain their conditioning, nutrition etc. reduces that need. However, as others have said, the owners never miss a trick to monetize their asset and preseason games are free money for them...

Kansas City. That is all...

Texans appear to be conceeding now. OAO...

I knew this kid would be a star...

Love me some CEH...
