Son of a K-Gun

Man, if only there was a way to deflate the football a little bit...

Are we expecting better results with an entertainer than we saw from this guy?

But Monday's a school night...is Mac allowed out to play?

Hard to argue with the Chiefs game, was such a long time coming and that was team focus all off season long. Loved that Miami game too though, was a real tone setter for the D. If I had to list my favourite play of the season I might just go with McKenzie's opening kickoff return against the Steelers. That play was electric. The stadium was rocking even on TV, and we all thought our Bills were going to be unstoppable. Alas just like McKittrick couldn't quite seal the deal on that return, the Bills have been just a step away from living up to our lofty expectations. Still time to right the ship though as we head into week 18 and the playoffs! I can't help but wonder how this season would have went if he housed this return?

Hard hitting news.

I don’t want to know why you know this 😬

Man with that kind of money they could have put a dome on the NY Times.

49ers might be pushing it…they’re right near that 50 mile limit.

Count me in, let's make things right!

If we are actually living in the Bradyverse does that mean these are competent officials?

In HOF voting for baseball there actually is a character clause...that's what is keeping out a lot of the 90's steroid-era guys (yet somehow Ty Cobb is in there). Not sure if the Pro Football HOF has the same clause because frankly I do not understand their voting at all. A HOF that has no place for Steve Tasker makes no sense to me.

I see what you did there 😉 I mentioned in the MVP thread that nobody holds a grudge like a sportswriter. Back in the early 90's (so pre-PED's) Barry Bonds was far and away the best player in the National League. The writers couldn't stand him (because he was a jerk) and gave the MVP to Terry Pendleton. Rodgers lied to the media and played them for fools. Now the media gets to vote for the MVP. Hub isn't likely the only writer looking at Rodgers this way.

FIFY

Funny that everyone is kvetching about the Bills facing the Colts or Titans run games in the playoffs and then in here people are hoping the Bills get the Eagles...mmmmkay.

Wait, did we play the Royals in October?

I mentioned this exact scenario upthread...sportswriters are notoriously petty and hate when players lie to them, as Rodgers did with his whole "I'm inoculated" BS. I am not at all surprised that writers are holding a grudge against him, though I am surprised that a writer was dumb enough to come out and say it. Here is Hub's actual statement; Rodgers was asked about the comments and he called Hub Arkush "a bum" multiple times and then spouted off that he's on a crusade against him because he isn't vaccinated. Said that they should rename the award the Most Valuable Vaccinated Player.

Awful take. The last thing this Bills team needs is another loss to a POS team like the Jets, no matter the circumstances. Keep the winning culture going.

Meh, Ronnie Lott would just cut the toe off.

I have (somehow) avoided the dedicated stadium/dome thread(s), but have seen the same number mentioned in here a couple of times now…is it really only an extra $500K for a dome? Hell if that’s the case I could sell my house and move in, Baker style. I’m working from home and the kids’ school is remote these days so why not??

Always a great read @Virgil and appreciate the effort you put into these. One thing I will say is that when I read through your post there are always a lot of "oh ya, I remember thinking that" moments from during game that I totally forgot about. Had never considered that you would need to be taking notes during the game to capture your thoughts but obviously when I see how many things I forget about it makes perfect sense. I'm sure that effort detracts somewhat from your game day experience, so understand completely the desire to dial it back.

Oh I missed that requirement that the test has to be outside of Canada, that's new. I had planned on testing at a Rexall but had to wait for the playoff game to be set as I would be crossing back into Canada anywhere from Saturday night to early Tuesday morning. It is becoming way too complex...I have no idea how to go about getting a PCR test with same-day results in a foreign country. For any other Canadians thinking of going... https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada Arriving by car, bus, boat, ferry or train You must take a molecular test outside of Canada within 72 hours of your planned entry into Canada.

And that's before we add in the $200 or so to get the impossible to book PCR test allowing us to come home.

The Bills could bring in Penny as a Beasley replacement and call the package Penny Slots. The Bills could put Penny in to defend late game Hail Mary attempts and hope for a Penny Pinch. The Bills could pair Penny with a bruising fullback and call that package In for a Penny in for a Pound. Maybe bring in James Conner as well and we can call the backfield JC Penny. Ultimately I'm just not sure bringing in Penny makes much Cents.

It seems like Josh takes bigger hits in the pocket than he does when he runs. Is it just me or when he runs he only really has big contact when he initiates it, and that is usually against smaller guys in the secondary. If he is going to get licked by a lineman or linebacker he hits the sideline. The biggest contact he takes might actually be from the ground when he decides to dive or hurdle guys...

Motor is truckin' guys right now but he was behind Harris and Chubb for sure. Those runs were ANGRY. If Motor keeps this up we have a real threat in the run game heading into the playoffs. Nowhere near the wear and tear of a back that has been leaned on over a 17-game regular season which can only help.
