Yoho Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You seem to think that we chose to be Buffalo Bills fans. I am a Buffalo Bills fan. I couldn't change it if I wanted to. They could make Harvey Johnson coach twice, they could trade Darryl Lamonica, they could let up 51 points in a Super Bowl and I would remain a Bills fan. I left Western New York 43 years ago and it is as much a part of me as it was when I went to the first game played at Rich Stadium and many at the old Rockpile. I am eternally optimistic before every season and can come up with a scenario for success every year. They own me for life as long as they stay in Buffalo. Go Bills. 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Quote My second-favorite play was when Josh became Tom Brady, changing the play with a code word I’m sworn not to reveal, and he hit a WR with a laser in the back corner of the end zone. “But Josh has no accuracy.” Bulltinky. Does anyone know which WR it was who caught this pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph, Big Ed, Milano’s return and our Safety’s. It sounds like Daboll came out in the 1st practice with guns a blazing. I guess it took the D a little by surprise. I'm sure they will adjust pretty quick. When that happens he will have more to talk about the D. When that happens I sure hope Daboll has some adjustments of his own. 1 hour ago, Yoho said: You seem to think that we chose to be Buffalo Bills fans. I am a Buffalo Bills fan.

Many people on this board thought the media had an agenda against EJ, and looked at Astro's notes as counter-points. We all know how that turned out. I read Astros stuff, again not hating. It just is usually the rose colored versions of things IMO. He was real positive about Tyrod as a passer, too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key line is "I can come up with a scenario for success every year." This is what the negative nellies don't understand. In my world, sports fandom means looking for plausible reasons why your team will make you happy -- not predicting ways they will disappoint. Well done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense was a machine in those years, especially in camp. I remember reading report after report about that Kelly was on fire and how "the ball never hit the ground" during practice.
