Sorry, can't agree with either of your takes here. Two DBs you omitted, Leonard Smith and Nate Odomes, were certainly top-tier, thus labeling the Bills DBs "very weak" is a misnomer. In addition, the offensive line, anchored by Kent Hull, who should be in the HOF BTW, and included stalwarts Will Wolford, Jim Ritcher, and House Ballard, was certainly above average. The story of the four SB loses was simply, other than XXV, the opponents were a better team.

Jeff Nixon was off to a torrid start in 1980 and by week four vs. Oakland, a "Nixon for President" sign appeared at Rich. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NixoJe20.htm

I miss the JOS Banks mega-sales...the buy one, get three free. Those days are gone.

Saw him at the Auditorium Theater in Rochester in August 1980.

Thanks for this, I may try it. We have the thundershirt and that has not helped very much...sigh... Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm thinking the THC oil may be the next alternative.

A few years ago, our dog was forever spooked by neighborhood fireworks. Since then, he's become deathly afraid of thunderstorms in addition to fireworks. We've tried everything, the thunder shirt, drugs, hugs, treats, etc. and nothing has worked. Any help or advice is appreciated. TIA.

I'll tell you one I'm NOT going to miss...

Best sign at Rich during the Raiders game: "Nixon for President." You'll recall that Jeff Nixon was leading the league, I believe, in INTs in the young season and was everywhere on defense. He only played seven games that season due to injuries but he was a terror during the early winning streak. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NixoJe20.htm

I'm convinced that if the Bills had home field advantage in 1980, they would have gone to the Super Bowl. Two losses to the lowly Colts squelched any chance at that.

I don't recall him requesting the trade to Oakland...he had a rather pedestrian game on his return to Orchard Park in Week 4 of the 1980 season; 3 catches for 87 yards. I was at that game and and we just pummeled the Raiders on a bright, early fall day. Recall my friend separating his shoulder diving for a football during the post-game tailgate, no doubt fueled by celebratory libations. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198009280buf.htm

These guys just look like they're having a good time and one of the best isolation gigs I've seen so far

Echo in the Canyon, a documentary hosted by Jakob Dylan, about the rock scene in LA in mid-1960s on Netflix, is worth a look-see. Good commentary by David Crosby, Tom Petty, Ringo Starr and others. The sound track is very good too.

Last couple of years, Waze has me getting on Rt. 22 just north of Duncannon, PA and staying on the east side of the Susq River, then hopping on 81 to 15. Reverse going north. I was skeptical at first, but it's a much better route. BTW, I've been using the 15 corridor for over 40 years now and still waiting for a Shamokin Dam bypass!

Just ordered another 40 lbs. from Amazon...with just one feeder, these damn birds are going through 40 lbs. every two weeks. They're eating more than my kids, I hope they begin to forage naturally since things are starting to look green again.

If the Bills win, while playing the early game on Sunday, I go to Red Zone and tend to watch SNF and MNF. If the Bills lose, I'm done with football for the rest of the weekend.

Can someone who received this email/promotion please cut and paste in this thread? TIA.

I think the Bumpus hounds could have played the role of the 2001-2019 Patriots as well.

Ralphie is cheap

And yet, all you see on social media today is Star Wars...unbelievable...

This post should be pinned until the actual release.

Jeeziz, who pissed in your Fruity Pebbles this morning?

The schedule release delay is no doubt related to Covid and I'm sure there are almost a half-dozen schedules being formulated, for example an October 4th start, an October 18th start and a November 1st start. The October 4th version may include the full slate of games, while the October 18th start may include only 14 games. A November 1st start could only mean 12 games, which I think is the cut-off for a legitimate season. What you would also see, in a delayed schedule, is the Bills being home a lot early in the season.
