Whites Bay

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.

Makes me think of all the times I prayed/wished/dreamed of the wheels coming off the Pats* back in the day. Let's give it a few weeks.

Honestly, the closest I've ever come to a moment like that was when Syracuse Basketball won the title in 2003. After what seemed like an eternity of an NCAA tournament, the clock ticked to zero and Boeheim actually started smiling. And I sat there and thought "My team won. That's never happened before". Having been a Bills fan since the 1970s, I guess that's how it's going to feel. Stupefied disbelief. And then I'm going to get the best damn bottle of Cabernet off the rack, blow off the dust, rinse out the decanter, and savor every last drop.

Thank God this drama is over. 9 days to go.

My brother shared the same anecdote a couple of weeks ago. Pretty sure it was Caleb Williams last year.

Let's fast-forward to the actual game. Preamble over, hype behind us, theme music quiets... Coin flips. Bills win the coin toss. What do you do, boys and girls? Me? I take the kick off. Given this offense and defense, I try to score. Your thoughts?

I saw that, Shaw. To the point that I paused the feed and backed it up so that I could watch it again. I pointed it out to my wife and daughter. I couldn't believe it.

Sorry. Had to chime in there. Still stings. I practiced pronouncing "Ngata" (N-yata) for a month before the draft. Just breathtakingly stupid.

After 17 years of getting drubbed by the Pats*, I'm unable to let it go - regardless of the fact that the Pats* were better/Bills poorly coached and managed/blah blah blah. F-em. Few things in life bring me greater joy than watching the Pats* get curb-stomped. This having been said, I have to admit that I enjoyed watching them drink from a poisoned chalice as they beat the Bills last year and cost themselves like 4 draft slots. Now it's the playoff Chiefs. Not regular season. Always seem to handle that part okay.

Not meaning to hijack the thread...but since I have the "green thumbs" aboard - any of you guys seeing spotted lanternflies yet? I've finally planted the last of my fruit trees (I can finally call it an "orchard" instead of a couple of shade trees), and now I'm hearing that these things HAMMER fruit trees and grapevines. I'm up north near Watertown. No sign of them yet. Heard they're coming up from Pennsylvania.

With respect to the bold...simply not going to happen around here.

That has to be photoshopped. Or he's simply standing closer to the camera.
