Anchor bar disappoints me. Their wings are never crisp enough.
Duff's gets my vote.
Consistently crisp, hot and meaty.
They were definitely not meaty when I was there about a month ago...maybe it was just a bad batch but I looked like a fool when I told them how our wings are usually the biggest around.

Bumping just to say last night my family went to Anchor Bar, the original. I had the extreme hot wings. Maybe I'm weird, but I didn't find their extreme hot wings too hot. I ate the entire order without any eye watering or lip tingling. Our waitress was quite impressed however.
Anchor Bar is mainly for the nostalgia. Their wings aren't bad. They are OK.
I was actually really disappointed in Duff's when we went to the Dick rd location and took some out of town guests there. They were good but by God, has the wing size been cut in half from a few years ago?? Just tiny wings when I am used to getting giant ones there...
Bar Bill still is the champ hands down tho.

I work in the field….there are series of tests provided and examined by the trainers/therapists specifically to help determine if the athlete is ready to come back…. It may be the surgeons final say, but those functional tests are crucial to help determine if the athlete is ready to return assuming all imaging looks good.
Barring a setback.(or if he’s already had one)… I expect Tre to be back as early as Week 3.
Is there a danger in rushing him back even if all those tests look good? Like something that you wouldn't know about until he has repeated movements on it during a game?

Best day ever. It's the day I knew we had a FO with an actual plan
One of the greatest leadership books I ever read about a guy who was sent in to fix failing companies talked about the first thing you have to do when you get to a new place is to identify the wrong people you need to get OFF the bus prior to getting the right people on the bus.
Pretty much exactly what happened there.

Wait really? What's the source on this? I haven't heard this story before.
Oh man...you really need to go find it and read it...Watkins was talking some psychotic stuff like demons stalking him and other crazy stuff.
UPDATE: here It is...
That talks about the Tyler Dunne story and some things in it, but if you can find the actual story it gets ever crazier.
UPDATE: and here the original story by Dunne is:

I somewhat disagree with all of your takes about that playoff game.
Yes, the Colts D-Line was giving us problems, but the Bills were able to adjust and in the 4th quarter Allen hit Diggs on that deep touchdown pass.
That touchdown should have(not should of) put an end to the game, but the Bills defense went to sleep and the Colts roared right back and got a touchdown very fast.
Then the Bills won the game on a fumble caused by Jordan Poyer, but the official in New York City, in their infinite wisdom, overturned the correct call, because they wanted a dramatic ending.
While the Colts gave the Bills fits in that game, overall the Bills did what they had to do in order to win that game.
If they should happen to face each other in the playoffs again, I think the Bills will be up to the task in beating them again.
Yeah the Bills had been shutting down the run game most of the day and Taylor was held in check until they thought the Colts had to pass and they allowed them good fronts to run against and they started chewing up yardage quickly on several runs.

Maybe I’m misremembering, but could have sworn that washed QB ran to the 1 yard line putting them in position for a TD that would have cut the lead to 7 with 6:07 to go but the run was taken away by a taunting penalty.And who's fault is that?
Maybe if Allen hadn't taken that Sunday off we would have won by 30.

That washed QB almost beat us with a lackluster supporting cast last yearYeah those 13 completions for 197 yards and no TDs really almost killed us.
Pretty sure Allen throwing 3 INTs and the initial safety to start the game had a lot more to do with us only winning by 14.
1 hour ago, MiltonWaddams said:I disagree. He was in a horrible spot for his skillset (not that mobile, but a strong arm and accurate) with a terrible Oline, no true RB (Patterson worked...but out of necessity) and his top WR gone all season between injury and suspension. With the line in Indy, JT as a true stud RB and a developing group of receivers, including Pittman who is excellent, I see Ryan showing that he is definitely not washed. Not a top 5 QB, but more than serviceable.
If your best bet in a loaded AFC is to get a serviceable QB you are in trouble. They might win the division because I don't like Tennessee at all this year. I suspect they are one and done in the playoffs tho.

Guess we will find out.

The pass catchers are interesting from size alone
Pittman- 6-4
Pierce- 6-3
Jelani Woods- 6-7
Cox- 6-5
Interesting weapons for Ryan. I agree that the Colts are going to be very good.
Based on what? Ryan is washed.

A low base salary in the first year of a contract is pretty common. It's the unawareness of what the optics makes it look like is why the Browns are the Browns.
Oh they are very aware of it which is why they did it. To ensure if Watson is suspended he loses as little money as possible.

Not sure if the Kevlar vest is a reference to crime in Baltimore or Baltimore fans going after a Bills fan. Either way, you're in danger if you go into the wrong parts of Baltimore and fine if you stay in the right ones. It's been a few years since I was there, but the Federal Hill neighborhood is a good neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants and also happens to be where the Ravens's stadium is located (as well as Camden Yards). I'd definitely recommend hitting the town the night before, but not going too crazy as you need to save some of that for pre-game on Sunday....Have fun!
Federal Hill in Providence is pretty good too if you are looking for mobsters.

Could you imagine this happening today?
The only reason he was a Celtic and not a Rochester Royal is because Celtics' Coach Red Auerbach got the owner of the Celtics to promise the Rochester owner they would have a week long Ice Capades show in Rochester, since he also owned the Ice Capades, if he didn't take Russell, as the Celtics owned the 2nd pick.
Crazy how there was such little profit apparently in sporting leagues back then that seemed like a good deal.
At least all the shows sold out tho.

Daryle Lamonica was our little secret. Spelling Kemp often and offering more accuracy. 4 playoff years in a row with him on the roster, we wouldn’t return for 8 years afterward. Al Davis hoodwinked Ralph in trade for QB Tom Flores and WR Art Powell. He would go in to win MVP twice, lead the Raiders to a Super Bowl, MURDER the Bills nearly every time he played against us and ended his career with the 2nd most credited wins.
He died earlier this year at 80 years old.
R.I.P. #12/#3Crazy part is his statistics were atrocious...under a 50% completion rate for his career.

The Bills were way more talented than them and wanted to make a statement after the earlier loss to them.
But Bill Belichick always gets the defense to a good place. Doesn't mean they will be competitive against the Bills, but they will be competitive at least generally. And they'll figure out a few things that work on offense. They are still well coached.
That offense might be worst in the NFL caliber this year...
Seems they are going to try and win games 17-13.

Oh, missed that. Anyway was thinking that Araiza has the punter job sewn-up and will be the holder, so he can't hold for himself.
Huh? He's "encouraged" by the idea of Tua not playing?
Wouldn't you be encouraged if you could get someone else on the field??
-
Did anyone other than Belichick think this was a good idea?
-
Haha...that dude is washed.

Considering the Bills have erred on the side of caution even with relatively minor injuries like pulls, etc, I would not expect Tre to be back until there is no doubt he is healthy enough to go without having any issues with the knee.
No way they are going to risk rushing him back when it's another 9 months if he reinjures it.

Just maybe the defense is the second coming of the ‘85 Bears?
Did you watch the last two games against the Bills? That D got worse.

Safe to say those of us who follow the Bills closely remember the TD in the corner when Josh fired an absolute laser between two defenders. First time i had to watch a replay to actually see the ball. That opened a lot of eyes.
I reread that thread yesterday as I got a notification about it too, and I remember your post.
I distinctly remember Allen's rookie season where the ball got there so fast sometimes that the cameraman didn't get there until after it was already caught. Took at least half the season to get up to speed and track his throws properly.
