WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 56 minutes ago, FrenchConnection said: Jet lag on a 5-hour difference is not really that big of a thing. Just force yourself to go to bed at the normal time regardless of how early it feels and then it's gone the next day. Use a sedative if you have to. Now, anything over 8 hours is a whole other thing. That takes days. When I went to Asia in the past, I would go nocturnal for a few days before departure to ease the transition. It's less "oh no what an impossible hurdle" and more griping about how what was supposed to be an advantage for us turned neutral at best. The Bills play the AFC division winners. They play the Chiefs on the road (for the 5th straight time, 7 out of 8). They play the Bengals on the road. What *should* be our one home game vs a conference rival is instead effectively a road game. It's not the end of the world, but I'm salty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in vegas hospitality for 20+ years, I can tell a Brit before they even say a word. A smile is all I need to know I’m about to get stiffed 🤣 🦷 I think there definitely isn't a culture of the bright white smile in the same way there is in the US. In my personal case the bottom ones were smashed to bits by too many elbows in the face in my soccer career. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I must say, I love the 930a start. Don't have to wait around all morning for the game to start. Done by 1 and on with your day. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What *should* be our one home game vs a conference rival is instead effectively a road game. It's not the end of the world, but I'm salty From what I've heard this week, the Jags are at a bit of a disadvantage because they are staying in England. And that is another week away from their own beds, away from their families, away from their routines, away from the state of the art training and medical facilities they normally go to. Kind of a miserable (make the best of it) type of experience for them. One former player said that by the time they get to our game on Sunday most of the Jags will be thinking "When can we get this game over and get on the plane home?" Hoping that helps us out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week for work in any country is cool. 3 weeks or more in another country is ok. But something about 2 weeks away from home really sucks. Experiencing it and talking to others I work with who do it often believe the first 3-5 days are full of energy and excitement to get the tasks done. 6-7 day start to get long and by the 8th day a majority of your time is up, the jobs essentially handled and you just want to go home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Josh is still pissed about that 6-3 game still a few years ago, he seems to have a long memory. I also worry about Etienne as Bills seem to struggle with those faster backs(Breece Hall, Achane). your memory seems to be short since the score was 9-6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I've always enjoyed that the nickname for the Jaguars is "JAGS", which is a pejorative. It would be like calling themselves the "Scrubs" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
