    Hoping they were looking across the field, so that was the visitor's side in the sun. Can anyone confirm? (Couldn't hear audio so unsure if that is mentioned in any "narration.")

     

    Yes, the view was from the Bills' side, looking across at the visitors' side.

     

    That said, in the video the sun is almost directly overhead, and both sides of the lower bowl are in the sun. It's not clear how much, but at 0:35 there is a small glimpse of the home side lower bowl that is all in sun. Plus, the left side of the end zone is totally in sun, while the right end zone is not.

    Pretty cool looking. Not sure what time of day this was taken, but from the look of the shadows on the items on the field, it looks to be close to mid-day. Maybe this will give people a sense of what parts of the stadium will likely be in the shade for a normal 1PM game (with the understanding that this is mid-summer with the sun almost directly overhead).

    Creed Humphrey is the best center in the league. He deserves to be much higher on this list than the guys surrounding him.

     

    I'll admit, that one still hurts a bit.

    Celebrating the Bills

    I've been thinking since I saw the thread about the Bills being the favorite, at least clearly in the top three, to make it to the Super Bowl. We can argue about whether we agree or not, but the reality is that among the bookmakers and bettors, there is a clear consensus that the Bills are at the very top of the league. And it's a bigger consensus than it was a year ago and two years ago.  Granted, everyone thought the Bills would have a down season last year, but their success last season has convinced many people outside of western New York that the Bills were genuinely good last season and only got better in the off-season.

     

    Apparently not those living in Philadelphia...

    So, last week Mrs. Things and I flew up to Auckland and were a part of a live audience for a TV comedy show.  Front row centre.

    A "panel" show with 2 teams of comedians.

     

    UP to Auckland? Where were you, Antarctica?

    Great info for how to get verified on Id.me. The only thing I’ll add is that you don’t necessarily have to use the same email for YouTube after you click through from Id.me.  My wife was verified as a medical professional and once I went through their link, I was able to login to my YouTube account to finalize the purchase with the discount. YMMV

     

     

    Interesting, how doe one get verified as a medical professional? Couldn't find it.

     

    EDIT: Never mind, found it! Thanks...

    Buffalo at Miami 1989 - The entire final drive

    This is where Jim Kelly and Chris Burkett started to have their rift and was one of the contributing factors in coining the “Bickering Bills” of 1989.

     

    Totally forgot Burkett was still on the team that year. I thought he was already gone at that time.

     

    I remember exactly where I was when I watched that on TV, and I'll always remember Donovan's call in my head.

    How good was that Odomes pick too? Just jumped that route on a well thrown ball and snatched it away! 

     

    Great pick, but as the announcer said, Marino totally missed Jensen wide open over the middle. Game over. Ouch!

    Good article in the Buff News this morning about Cook, and what the Bills should do.  A compromise would be to give Cook a bridge deal for the next two seasons that pays him in the low 20s with most of it guaranteed.  Doesn't break the bank and Cook gets one more shot at a big payday afterwards.  Hope it gets done.

     

     

    I agree, I thought it was an interesting option for Cook. I've always felt the sweet spot for Cook contract-wise was about $12-$12.5 per year, but what I haven't been able to figure out is (a) if the Bills really want to spend that much on the RB position, or (b) what kind of impact that would have on the cap going forward.

    Bobby Chandler #81. Led the League in receptions yet didn’t make 1 Pro Bowl. Best hands and toes during his era.

     

    Been searching for a while for one of my favorite catches of his, the toe-tap TD against Tampa. Turns out it was from 1978, and I was able to find it in his highlights from the 1978 Bills video:

    He made a few cents under $40 Mil, a very nice start in life. Hope he’s got his health and enjoys retirement. 

     

    I don't know man, $40 mil doesn't stretch as far as it used to. Good luck to him.

    I always thought that the only reason the blue cheese was there was to make the carrots and celery less healthy...

    Flats are great if they're big and they're done right, but they're easier to screw up in my opinion. Nothing more disappointing than getting to the end of an order of wings only to find that a dried out little pigeon flat is the finale.

     

    Still better than crusty, dried out drums.
