Impossible! ... a Bills fan with heart problems??? Best wishes Good Sir!!

Depends on his value, going forward, as a mentor to Allen. He's gotten high praise so far in that area, but I wouldn't say we've got one of the league's better #2's - in pure quarterbacking form - from what I've seen. Is he ready to coach?

Or it was just consistent with that crew having an itchy trigger finger. Which makes me wonder if our coaching staff studies the tendencies of particular refs/crews, and coaches the players as to how to take advantage of that.

I was a college radio dj during, this, the most fantastic era of music since the mid-sixties. There's a connection of very dang good between those eras... if you're 18, bore yourself with this:

Suddenly we all had to talk about Bob Mould at parties to keep up with our more enlightened friends, but really all I'd really want was

I believe the janitor, there, at the end was mopping up the tears of all the KISS deciples who clung on for just one more decade and then it was the 90's turn. The teeth were kicked in, and it was time for a whole new, smart and badass style. Sexy, because chicks dig guys with confidence:

Time time time, see what's become of me ghostly reverberations of born in the USA swirling into the past. Japanese girls loving Poison, and American guys wearing out their 6th copy of Pyromania somewhere in there, stylistics burned Love and Rockets t-shirts into your membrane but there was no holding back the Hollywood strip... one last hurrah- Warrant, Winger, Mr. Big, Damn Yankees, the Nuge and Black Crowes got in on it too but then this happened: On one day... one singular moment in MTV history, and every single hair-metal band on God's Green Earth simultaneously shat their collective pants... no lie, you could smell it for 2000 miles and running

Heh- I wasn't propping SF over Buffalo, more talking about the character things that had been forced out of business or disappeared during the tech takeover- I can totally see how you read it the way you did though. My bad.

Hmmm. I lived there about 15 years, walked by homeless people all the time, helped some here and there, and didn't find it too much of a problem. Sure a homeless problem doesn't exactly add that Disney Sheen to a city, but you know what really sucked- a bunch of overpaid digital janitors coming in and douching up a previously very vibrant and uniquely historical city. Classic architecture, bars, music venues, family restaurants, Gold Spike, Gold Dust, Slims. Caesar's gone through greed and boringness- wine bars and douchbaggery reign supreme. The city I totally loved is just frickin dead, and it had nothing to do with homelessness.

He did a splendid job for a blind dimwit. )

Coaching I can somewhat understand, but It feels wrong....... BUT, Referees??? The Ed/Shawn Hochuli Referee Dynasty really chaps my hide. The senior Hochuli was an embarrassment to the game of football, and now we get stuck with his spawn for decades to come.

See Fergy, it was Bruce's house- the yellow one with green trim, hedges fashioned into a squiggy 'L' and hanging carnations at the entryway groomed to resemble Frank DeFazio's eyebrows. Mystery solved. Speaking of the 7 things I know about Wisconsin... Ice, have you ever seen a film called American Movie? Beautiful film- kinda Wisconsin's version of Buffalo '66

It's the Wisconsin golf course, just google it.

After some other college party, managed to drag my ass down to the couch to crawl in front of a football game. I don't care what happened on those 4 particular Sundays- I couldn't have asked for anything more fun than those teams, and that time. Here's hoping the next gen, after having to suffer through all this old guy blather, gets to have a shiny new great team to cheer on

Beyond a doubt I am not familiar with this form of enchilada- that's why my first sentence in this thread was a question. I have no idea why it could rise to prominence vs. the others, but main plusses I see on it are affordability per whole coin, saturation of awareness, and the possibility of faith en masse.

I think it all comes back to Doc's son... (mostly) figuratively. Does the upcoming generation believe in this as a future form of currency, and with its cheap initial price, does the potential of that belief raise the 'coin' to self-fulfilling prophecy status? The dollar is backed by faith in the US gov't- can this be backed by faith in something different- maybe a belief in an agreeable, global, easily bartered online currency... In an odd way, it's not too much of a stretch to see a future currency which will be more stable than the dollar. I don't really care if the logo is cat's hairball or a 7-legged spider, btw.

Anyone DOGEing? I started in at .02, and went up to .08 the same day haha, before dumping back down... now on a steady clip back through .08. Feels sustainable this time with all the press. I get the lack of declared cap makes it different than bitcoin, and I'm sure it will only value out at a low % of btc, but so far I just can not complain.

I know, right- it's like some people should expect 'the greatest deal-maker the world has ever known' to make things work to our advantage while the world markets are in turmoil or something...

Those 70's Raiders were friggin' fantastic. I'd love to see how many minutes everyone's favorite GOAT/whiner boy would have lasted against them. My guess would be less than 30.

What kind of stupid stat pretzel is 17.1 yards per catch on 62 targets?? so if he made 10 catches for 171 yards on 62 targets.... I know he was better than that, but you've got to be lit to draw a conclusion by putting those 2 stats together.

On the 'statue' thing, Marino was no Deadsloe: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/11/12/remembering-dan-marinos-incredible-streak-of-759-passes-without-a-sack/ " Dan Marino owns the NFL record for consecutive games and consecutive passes without a sack, and no other quarterback before or since has ever even been in the same ballpark. Marino got sacked on September 25, 1988 in Indianapolis. He then played 19 consecutive games without getting sacked. He wasn’t sacked again until October 29, 1989 in Buffalo. Between sacks, he threw an incredible 759 passes. To throw 759 passes without getting sacked is such an insane record that it looks like a typo. The team that has allowed the fewest sacks this year is the Saints, and Drew Brees has been sacked nine times while throwing 304 passes. Marino threw two and a half times that many passes and wasn’t sacked even once. Marino was well known for his quick release during his time as the Dolphins’ quarterback, and he could get the ball out so quickly that opposing defenses never stood a chance. For 19 straight games, no one could bring him down." Can we please stop anointing every current player the greatest, please...

It's the 'not really close' part I was commenting on. There's a lot of 'greatest ever' type commentary proclaimed about current players-it's out of whack with faded memories or no memory at all about just how amazing past players were. The league was not scattered with, 'pretty good' players until just recently, it has had a bunch of amazing players, who played in a much grittier league to boot. Don't get me wrong, I frickin hate Marino haha, and there may have been better overall quarterbacks, but as a passer, it's hard to put anyone 'way' ahead of him. He definitely lacked running ability, but his short-area awareness, quickness, and release made him nearly unsackable- check out the numbers.

I thought it was a good trade, but now that you put it this way

The greatest 'passer' in NFL history, to me, is Marino. Deadly at every range, lightning release, and almost never took a sack in the age of the 7-step drop. Mahomes is up there, though.

Now you funny too
