    Serious question: DO the Bills have to give her a box? I tell her: "Yes, mam, we have a few seats available for you and your party. Would you prefer row 20 in section 316 or a row in the endzone bleachers section? Also, because of the recent snowfall, stadium parking will be sparse. I suggest you get to the Mall early and take one of the shuttle buses over to the stadium. Get there early; you don't want to be stuck in line and miss the kick-off.?"

    KC management gets a box or 2.  She's been with Mahomes' wife at the games.  The Bills aren't the ones giving her a box.  If she had to, she could buy into a box making an offer nobody could refuse.  Imagine getting offered a payment of your entire season for 1 day use of your luxury box.  You can even negotiate a few seats behind her.

    No because dumbasses are making comments about throwing dildos at her. Of course they’re gonna put her in a box where she can’t be touched or or else she could just be treated like a normal fan if people weren’t being so stupid.

    It was a joke (see Billdoe thread).  Lighten up Francis.

    It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain enough newsprint to adequately crumple and stuff damp footwear with.  (Works like a champ, but use true newsprint, not the glossy stuff.)

    When I went to the Bills Raiders cold playoff game back in the early 90s, I brought a garbage bag full newspapers & put my feet in them the whole game (yes I was wearing insulated boots on my feet).   

     

    Now it looks like SI is about to go under:  Sports Illustrated Thrown Into Chaos With Mass Layoffs - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

  4. I usually don't post while I'm watching the game.  Sometimes I might get online at halftime if something worth talking about happened in the 1st half.  I'll usually get back on the computer after the game so I can watch & listen to postgame coverage.

    Here's a list of guys who won Coach of The Year the past 15 years:

    - Brian Daboll

    - Mike Vrabel

    - Matt Nagy

    - Jason Garrett

    - Ron Rivera 

    - Ron Rivera (again)

    - Marvin Lewis

    - Mike Smith

     

    Swear to god. Look it up.

    All of these awards are a joke.

    It's usually a popularity contest for who is the flashiest... so, Josh will win one. Plenty of time.

     

    Unfortunately, coach of the year usually goes to someone who had a winning record with a team the pundits thought would suck.  Many times it's because of an easy schedule resulting from the prior year's failure.  A lot of time this year's coach of the year is next year's bum.  

     

    I still can't believe that Daboll got it for 2022 over Shanahan, who won with a rookie Mr Irrelevant, going from 3rd in 2021 to 13 wins & the division in 2022.  .

    You are embarrassing yourself posting on a football forum trying to show up other people telling them they are embarrassing themselves lol 😂

     

    We can have honest discussions without personal attacks right?

     

    My point is Lamar isn't the most valuable player in all of football if his team can make the playoffs without him and his backup can make the pro bowl. It's a reasonable take. I don't think Purdy is the most valuable player on his own offense let alone the league and he could be interchangeable with about 20 other guys and SF would still be the best NFC team. Those are my opinions.

    It wasn't a personal attack, I was trying to help you stop embarrassing yourself, but you won't listen.  Please stop with the ridiculous Pro Bowl nonsense.  Nobody took Huntley's Pro Bowl appearance last year as a serious indication of his ability as one of the best QBs in the league.  He was a replacement when others dropped out.  The Pro Bowl selection is considered a joke with all the dropouts.  Without Lamar there is no way Baltimore wins 13 games & is the #1 seed.  Just making the playoffs vs #1 seed is a big difference.  Purdy isn't going to be MVP & you're right that he could be replaced, but Purdy & SF has nothing to do with Lamar & the Ravens.  

     

    You might not think Lamar is MVP, but you know who does?  The voters.

    The Ravens didn't have Lamar and Huntley did really well actually and made the Pro Bowl. I would say the Ravens would still be in the playoffs with any other top 20 QB.

    Pro Bowl 🤪

    They lost 3 of their last 4 games with Jackson out & the one playoff game. 1-4 last 5 without Jackson. 

    Give it up, you're embarrassing yourself.

    So how many games must a qb win to be considered for the HOF the only games they care about is superbowl wins and not even that really matters no qb has been denied entry bc they had HOF stats but didn't win enough if that was the case Kelly wouldn't be in at 0-4 in superbowls 

    Show me a QB who had a losing record who didn't win a championship who is in the HOF.   I can't think of any recent ones, and the only QB I can think of off the top of my head who lost more than he won is Joe Namath, who won what might be the most significant Super Bowl of all time.

    Lamar is MVP based on what stats besides W-L record? They should just change the name of the MVP to "QB on the best team" award

    Considering the words MOST VALUABLE, a QB has to lead his team to victories in order to be considered.  No sub .500 team's QB will ever win MVP because obviously, if he was most valuable, they would have won more games.   Think of the Ravens without Lamar Jackson or the Bills without Josh, neither of those teams would be playing this weekend without their guy.  You have to be a difference maker-lead your team to wins they wouldn't without you-to be considered MVP.  Lamar fits that requirement in Baltimore and since they won the most games, and he had a much lower turnover rate than his competition, he'll win MVP.   

     

    Too bad you don't like the reality of MVP voting, but there's nothing complaining about it on a message board will do to change it.  The writers give huge consideration to victories in MVP voting & don't care if you don't.

    How many games would the Bills win if Tua was their QB?

    All of them.  Don't you know that Tua is the AFC's best QB=the Pro Bowl vote said so, while they also said Josh is JAG.  🤣

    I have a Generac 7000W gas-only generator.  I wanted tri fuel but had to settle for this.  I've used it once for an extended period in the past decade.  The problem I've had for the past 4 years or so is that despite starting it every month, I sometimes can't get it to run and need to pull the carburetor and clean it. 

     

    Get one with more power than you think you need and an electric start.  Also get an interlock installed on your panel.  That way you don't need to have a sub-panel.  It will save you a ton of money and allow you to pick and choose what you want to turn on.  And have an outlet installed outside your house to plug the generator into.

    Just out of curiosity: How does an electric start start when the electricity is out?  

  12. Now no delivery of today's paper until Friday.  It looks like they really are looking to become a digital only paper in the future. :

    I’m flying in from California and need some advice. Only 2nd game in Buffalo

     

    - which parking lot should I try and get in for ease/fastest out after the game. I know there’s traffic regardless but leaving the cincy playoff game last year I was in the line out of the parking lot for like 2hrs and hope to not do that again.  I can’t remember which lot it was, maybe near the performance center?

     

    - I have refundable hotel in 2 spots. One in Tonawanda that’s on the crappier side and one on Niagara Falls Blvd by the “Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls” that is a nicer hotel. Leaning toward Niagara but the map says it’s like 40min away from the stadium at least. Given weather/driving post game etc. is it better to suck it up at the crap spot in Tonawanda or am I fine in Niagara?

     

    thanks in advance!

    Unless you plan on visiting Niagara Falls, or they're a lot cheaper than the area motels, why so far away?  If I was flying, I would have chosen something close to the airport, which is less than 20 miles away from the stadium, or booked a motel in Hamburg, near the stadium.

    Maybe, but they are going to need to face a harsh reality:

     

    The only way they are going to get over the hump is a franchise QB.

     

    They won't draft high enough to get a solid one with Tomlin giving them a winning record out of mediocre talent. No coach or player decides they want to tank. There's too much on the line for their resume

    That's a front office choice.

     

    Things will likely need to get worse before they get better. And we know how bad that can be. 

    Go back to 2018. We were drafting 21 & 22 & made it up to #7.  Many around here couldn't imagine getting up to 7 from 21, but Beane found a way and got a little lucky because nobody took Josh in the top 6.  If Pittsburgh wants to they could package a combination of players & pick to move way up.  However, it takes guts & a conviction that you are drafting the right franchise QB.
