Joe Marino says we’re “under the radar” 28:00 minute mark. The whole 33minute podcast is good.

Not me. It was an incredible and unbelievable season. Of course we didn’t win the Super Bowl, but what we overcame ALL SEASON to post 14 wins is nearly other-worldly. Heart attack that nearly took the life of our beloved owner. Heart attack that nearly took the life of our starting Safety right on the field. The community having to pitch in and dig out the players from their homes to play a game we had to surrender a Home Game to play. Season ending injuries to our new super player edge rusher and great Free Safety. Not being able to get home for Christmas morning from Chicago. These were mixed in with last minute losses and victories in a 14 win campaign. The ONLY way it could have been better would be to win it all.

Ever the optimistic, indeed Eternally so, hopes are always peak this time of year. 7 times we’ve made it to League Championship games in 62 years. Twice we earned top spot, carrying our heroes off the field on our shoulders. But that was in the middle of our decade-long AFL years. Our start up League -unlike any since- was loaded with talent and was a direct contrast to the staid, conservative game approach of the established NFL and it really caught on nationally. Since the merger of the leagues a decade later, we ain’t seen sh!+! Yes, a better hit long field goal attempt would have changed the narrative and somewhat lessened the urgency of the day, but it simply hasn’t happened and the decades are flowing by. In short, this current Pegula era team has been knocking hard on the door for another chance to finally claim an NFL Title and have -yet again- assembled a team worthy of contending for it. Last seasons’ 14 win campaign wilted late under the most challenging obstacles imaginable. The near deaths of a player and owner, critical injuries to key players, forced to move games to other locales due to inclement weather and not being with their families on Christmas morning were more than any team could overcome. So THIS is the year! Pundits are off our back as the preseason favorite. Many outsiders are of the opinion the ‘window’ has closed and numerous other teams have done much to improve their lot. But they had to. They sucked. We have also improved but nobody’s paying attention. We are. WE’RE WINNING IT ALL THIS YEAR! The Lombardi Trophy finds a brand new home in February and solidifies Allen, Diggs, Miller, Milano & McDermott as yellow jacket wearers in the years to come. A parade on the streets of Buffalo in mid February? Mark your calendars!

Flash in the pan

I don’t think they were designed to be troughs..🤔🤷‍♂️

Because he has MANY important jobs, not the least of which is his ailing wife’s’ caretaker.

Seems strange. I’d love to know the whole story.

Al Bemiller was a Guard for 3 seasons before becoming our stalwart Center.

I was there too and completely agree. It was the 1st game I took my son to and he’ll never forget the experience. Poor kid..

That’s sad. I never thought about this but now that I’ve seen the concept, I need it in my life. Thanks for the intel though.

..um.. check your location. You’re ON Two Bills Drive. 🤦‍♂️

It’s official. You’ve gone off the deep end🤦‍♂️

Our long, national nightmare is over.

Looks like a hen on her period crapped on a blue helmet

Cities that don’t have major pro sports support their teams very well. Watching any sport played at a high level is what we do as humans. 🤷‍♂️

By ‘including the night before the game’, you’re referring to Cops being called to Allen’s house, right?

We attend a couple games a year. Good brand of hockey that’s lower than Rochester Amerks. Shared this with my Son who’s a huge Star Wars fan. His reply upon confirming the news: ‘They should change their name to the Jacksonville ‘Light’ Sabres!’ 🤣

Confessions of the soul is the 3rd rail of life. Good luck in the next world..

*Yawn!* Wake me if he gets stabbed. 🤷‍♂️

I had a Buffalo Evening News paper route as a teenager. Started at $.35/wk and grew to $.65/Week when I gave it up. It was bigger and had much better writers. $28.99?? Highway Robbery, GOTDAMMIT!

Not me. The 2023 season is the season most of us are ready to see kick off. At least that’s what MY calendar say.. 🤷‍♂️

This has been discussed in numerous threads this offseason. No need to rehash everyone’s opinion. 🤦‍♂️

I thinks it’s more that our ‘Big 3’ are so exceptional, they dwarf every other team as well as teammates. We have the Leagues very best Safety tandem in over a decade, an All Pro at OLB, perennial PBer at LT and a DL that’s the envy of the the game. A pressure-tested PK and an under rated Center. We’re Damn good!

My assessment? Thad Brown is the single reason transvestites haven’t reached social equality.🤷‍♂️

Ask Barry who kept his azz on the bench at OSU. Id encourage you to know what you’re talking about before posting, but then we’d never hear from you. WAIT!😳
