In general, watching Tua get tackled, he always looks like a helpless rag doll. Even Rob Johnson had a better sense of self preservation than he does.

While some of it was disdain, in my experience nearly as much or more was the wincing empathy of not wanting to see the team and its fanbase get crushed yet again if they failed, which most of the country outside of WYN and it's transplants was anticipating. Win even one of the four and I don't think the reaction would have been the same.

I don't get pumped for Bills games with music, but this is a great lead in to get amped up to (for a perfect example see the crowd reaction to it at the flaming mess at Woodstock; Armageddon edition). The song itself gears down after the intro, though, so it needs to cut to something before that happens.

Don't blame me for this earworm, blame Ilya Lyubushkin, it's his goal song!

I agree. I think few would question Beasley's effort on Sunday (or whatever day the game happened to be played). He certainly leaves everything he has on the field. The problem the last few seasons was he was beat to a pulp and didn't have a ton left to give come playoff time. Last season, the Bills looked distracted for much of the season until Allen went nuclear after halftime of the Bucs game and did all he could to will this team to greatness. I think Beasley's antics off the field were clearly part of the problem and in the offseason I think the front office's approach with him was an acknowledgement that he was running on empty and that he was a distraction. I think Beasley's social media sour grapes all season towards the organization add credence to this theory. Unfortunately, I think Allen asking the FO to bring him back is as much an indictment of his trust in McKenzie and Shakir, and maybe to a lesser extent the RBs, as it is an endorsement of Beasley. If they use him, I'm sure he'll bring more reliable hands than what we have, I just wonder if he has enough left to fight through the high traffic areas that he made his living in the past few seasons and still get the separation he needs to be effective. I'm skeptical.

Recalling the Antonio Brown helmet fiasco, I believe players are responsible for selecting their own helmet from a league approved list.

Ooops.

So is that "highest paid" LT or is that "highest" paid LT... does he want the most money or does he want to be high as balls and still have a job? Where he puts the inflection makes a difference.

Hmmm... Are you suggesting I should hold off on starting my "how many games in a row can the Bills win" thread?

I mean, the Broncos without Hackett will have to try awfully hard to be worse than the Broncos with Hackett.

After his obliterating the punter call in the Miami game, I prefer Cam "my ass should be glued to the bench, especially on 4th and forever" Lewis.

You were there with Ray Stonada's mom? 😱

I mean, it was Wrecks and Rob Ryan, is the author positive he said “Geno Smith” and not “Genoa salami”? Or maybe Wrecks thought he had unfinished business in developing Geno as an NFL QB… https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/400554298

I’m not happy about it, but at the end of the day it’s my fault. If I was a better boy this year maybe I would have gotten presents instead. I guess there’s always next year. 🤷‍♂️

Ummmm... that would be a "loaner". For the record, I'm banking on a witty reply.

Sure you do. It flies in the face of his pre-determined conclusion. If he was to take the whole picture into consideration he'd either have to stop his schtick or he'd look like a complete ass.

4mer cashing in receipts. The original post/thread is nearly a year old.

Miami would be better off feeding Hill jet sweeps every play with the game on the line than letting Tua float the ball to defenders.

You’re the second person that’s suggested that (a friend of mine that I texted it to also suggested that). I took his reaction as that mix of bemusement and embarrassment you get when a good friend is getting punked in a good natured way and they don’t realize it and you can’t bear to watch it. You could be right, though, as his thank you call afterwards suggests a genuinely close friendship between the two.

The other 68 hours per week is plenty of time to sleep, eat, take a poop or two, and gamble.

Not to mention the NFL's sponsored by Draft Kings, Caesar's, Fan Duel, etc. and they're the ones force feeding the advertising. Talk about hypocritical!!

Now that the cat's out of the bag they better hold on to that #1 seed...

Conjures up lovely mental pictures of that holiday card...

You could always stream the Sabres games on ESPN+ for $10/mo. I'm out of market, though, so I don't know if they'd end up being blacked out in the local viewing area. You can select which broadcast you want. You get the intermission reports, but you don't get the pre- and post game stuff.
