It's true those championships were a long time ago, but they're still there. Expand Yeah, they're still there. I don't think anyone's giving those (or gave in the case of Davis) a free pass just because they won SBs over 2 decades ago. On 7/8/2020 at 12:38 AM, Mr. WEO said: Jones has not put together a solid roster currently in Dallas? Ok..... Expand It's not the roster: it's sticking with Garrett for so long. We'll see if McCarthy can do better.

Why is the woman dumb for falling in love with a guy? She appears to be a very bright, and thoughtful. I don’t have a problem with her at all. I’m not as big a Sabres fan, so I’ll leave that to you guys, but as far as the Bills, she and Terry are doing well. Why critical of an ownership that brought us excellent coaches, management and players. Sound financial management and not trying to bandaid a team, vs. taking the longer approach. They methodically purged bad contracts, understood they made a mistake with Wrex, and we are in a better position now than we have been in 20 years. We are set up for long term success. was it a PR piece, yes, but people do this all the time.

Expand He's also the owner, is he not? The owner and sometimes even the GM are responsible for hiring/firing the HC. You and others like to bag on the Pegulas for hiring Rex, but at least they had the sense to fire him after just 2 seasons.

I spent 8 years in the area (Loudoun and Prince William counties), and by the time we left in 2016 my wife and I were paying about $30 more per month for a 2 br / 2 ba apartment in Manassas than we’re paying now for a mortgage payment (including taxes and insurance) on a SFH in Amherst that’s double the size of that apartment. Expand Do a quick search right now in your area. The market has gone nuts. I've seen more than one house add 100k in less than 5 years. It's not there yet, but the trend is troubling. We currently have the 3rd fastest growing market in the country. Buffalo simply doesn't have the jobs to keep pace. We aren't DC yet, but it's only a matter of time.
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Just counting down the days until Kim and I start our affair, divorces Terry, and just gives me the Bills as a birthday present. ? 1

I was more referring to playbook editing, game plans, how to manage the day. It is not real information, but he was weirdly leading every meeting on "all or nothing" on Amazon. Weekly staff meetings, coaches game planning, editing practices. Garrett was just sort of his gimp, sort of felt bad for the guy.

I mean, I have a house I really like here, but my career had to get to a certain point before I got it. WE would have gotten something in Buffalo a little cheaper if we didn't have to leave for my SO's job. But the median income here is about 30k higher per year than Buffalo, so by that metric it isn't too bad. I don't get how the average person does it. Buffalo is infilling at the moment. Sort of filling in the donut hole. So as my friends have gotten really comfortable in their careers, they have bought houses on Richmond, Dorchester, etc. because it was trendy. Less are going to OP and East Aurora, Clarence. My more middle income friends who were renting in the city but can afford to buy now are pushing into first ring suburbs like Kenmore. It will be interesting to see what happens. Expand I grew up in penfield, and i always liked the similar vibe from Williamsville/East Amherst/Clarence. I liked OP but my wife didn't care for the commute up to Williamsville where she worked.

The Arizona season with Ariana and Palmer is awesome. The Rams season was good. Jeff Fisher gets fired and they’re changing cities. Dallas was not that entertaining, too much Jerry Jones. Carolina wasn’t bad either. Highly recommend. I like it WAAAY more than Hard Knocks.

As long as Kim Pegula is running the show over there, and thinks she knows what she is doing, things are not going to improve. The names of those who come and go will continue to change, however. 1
