Whites Bay

I posted upthread that I thought a lot of it comes down to field condition. Just checked Foxboro on NWS now that we're about 40 hours out: Saturday Night Snow likely, mainly after 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 25. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Sunday Snow likely, mainly before 9am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 30. Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. So as I read it, the snow is going to peter out several hours before game time. Hope the grounds crew is diligent in clearing it. If the field is in good shape, and Brown is playing at RT, they'll test the outside run game.

Just checked NWS. They're calling for a "chance of snow before 1 pm". Total chance of precip is only 30%. Still like 90 hours out. We'll have a better idea by Friday.

Yes, fair enough. It sounds like Kincaid didn't reaggravate his array of injuries, so watch for the Bills getting back to 3 TE sets.

Goodness gracious. Well, you're welcome on this board, and you're welcome to your expectations. But "under 100 yards with a couple of big runs by him" with THIS offensive line? I'd buy that argument in a heartbeat if this were Shady McCoy running behind Cordy Glenn, Ryan Groy and Cyrus Kouandjio. You might be stuck in the wrong decade. Maye is good - very good. But he's going to have to lay down points each and every time he has the ball. And he might do it. But I'd be planning to be on the underside of the clock. Much like the Pats* used to do to the Bills!

Ha! I used the wrong word, and corrected it. Didn't mean "field position", but "field condition". Yeah, Pittsburgh might have been an outlier. That was crazy - ran on them more at home than had happened for 50 years. The point is time-of-possession. You start pushing that up to 40 minutes, and it basically means that any magic that Maye is going to perform has to happen in a very narrow window.

Not meaning to geek out, but after this past weekend, I think a fair amount of it is going to come down to field condition. I got the sense that Brady wanted to test the success the Bills had had against Pittsburgh, and holy crap those outside runs just weren't there. It was terrible. I thought I saw - with my untrained eye - that they started having success running the inside game as time progressed (and the snow finally let up). So I just checked NWS for Foxboro for Sunday. Looks like it's dry, clear, sunny and not even THAT cold (29-30). The turf should be in good shape. If Spencer Brown is back at RT and Williams is out (and, I mean I guess he is), I'd be watching for Steelers Part Deux. And if that starts to work, I don't think the Pats* are going to be able to do anything about it.

We get this goddamn thread every week. Sorry to come across as negative. I'm one of the more positive fans on the board. But seeing "Groot has to step up this week" is like expecting the sun to rise in the east.

They have to get themselves in tip top shape for the offseason.

Kid's game is unmissable. My kids are grown now, and I dearly miss those soccer and track events. And I mean A LOT. Whoosh, and they're done. But the INSTANT that damn basketball game is over, you're cramming that kid in the car and laying rubber in four gears with your foot in the carburetor to get your whipped ass back on the couch to watch the game. You will promise - and you WILL deliver - dinner and a night out tomorrow at the place of HER choice, and wear what SHE tells you to wear, and listen to the music that SHE wants to hear. Got it? Now...rinse and repeat for the Steelers. That's just how it goes, dude. You have no control. You can only trim the sails.

She had an excellent writing style. Makes me miss some of the old posters.

My hopes are still up for Cardale Jones. The Tremaine Edmunds of quarterbacks. Only 21 this year...

Well, at least as it relates to kicking...

I'm afraid we live in a world in which I could totally see that happening. This is so weird...

Quick flyover view from 50,000 feet. Jets suck.

Hold on to that glowing rosy attitude when you show up here after a loss, kid. It will challenge your core beliefs.

Yeah, well, you'll get that around these parts.

Just intersperse it with the clip of Hairston's PBU on Worthy. Or his interception.

Put Horn out of the game. That was a statement tackle. And I was very excited to see some speed out of Hancock as well.

It's called "perspective". Yours is an excellent post. As for me? "On to Atlanta".

It gets worse when you consider that it's a bye week thereafter, so the poison and gruel would continue for 2 weeks until the Carolina game.

Zweigle's White Hots hands down. But - I get it. It's a Rochester thing.

Probably out of the OP's time window, but it's hard to beat the winery tour at Dr. Konstantin Frank in Hammondsport. About a 2 hour drive one way. But wow. What a view.

Or the colander, depending on what you have in your kitchen.

"I can't see". (For those that don't get it, it's a Zappa thing).

It's probably been mentioned in the thread, but I wanted to chime in. I'm watching a replay of the game as I await MNF. Just got to the tipped-ball-TD with about 4:00-ish remaining. Did anyone notice what he did after what was probably his trickiest and most challenging catch of the game? He flipped the ball to a sideline guy and trotted back to the bench. There was no showboating, no choreographed moves, no histrionics, no fireworks. Just "Yeah, job done". It was like Barry Sanders. I just love this kid. You doubters can keep up your service to this board and fan base. Rock on. I love this kid.
