  1. I've avoided sports radio, reading stuff online, and anything related to the Super Bowl. An occasional peek at these boards and I refocus towards Baseball and the rest of the Hockey Season. I'll turn on the TV at 6:30, and root for Saquon. As a downstater tough to root for any Philly Team Still disappointed obviously. Josh winning the MVP and the love/respect shown for him across a lot of the Country let alone WNY has eased the pain a bit.
  2. If that game lasted another minute Rams would have beaten Philly. Still holding my nose and rooting for the Eagles
  3. In decompressing from this lost opportunity and reading everything across all internet platforms, the NFL has a huge credibility problem. And not just from this game. Yes, there are trolls and defenders of the Chiefs out there, but a significant majority of "likes" and comments I see everywhere are in agreement that the Bills got screwed. Yes, my coaches always said don't leave anything in the hands of the refs, play better. And Brady got taken to the woodshed, etc. But whether they get all the calls or not, most people believe they do. Perception is reality. It just sucks.
  4. Shocked at how easily Saquon has been busting these long runs this playoff year. Too easy, so think we would have had some problems with him. Think Philly D would make Josh/Cook claw for every yard much like Spagnola. Would have been as close as today's game, although the coaching imbalance would have been less prominent. Could easily lose to them. Josh is better than Hurts by mile but our D would likely have given up a lot of points. We'll never know.
  5. I've shied away from the boards and SIRIUS Radio Talk all week. It will be what it is and I'm trying to maintain an even keel. I have pulled every Bills totem I can find out and placed it prominently around the fireplace and TV. The Bills garden gnome, Whisky Glass, Highmark Stadium Sno-globe, coasters...and of course wearing my Jersey and Bills sweats already. I can't enjoy game 1 today waiting for 6:30 to come. Remembering that this was supposedly a "step back" and cap-clearing retool season.............I'm optimistic.
  6. So long ago...I remember the reactions from a big weekly work football pool. You are correct. I looked in the FB Database and see this was 11/29/98 which is pre-Big Bill. I see Vinateri "run" at the 15M Mark after time expired. Consequently Pats won by 4 and the line was 3.5 I didn't like Pete Carrol either 😂
  7. Watching in front of the fireplace at home in Croton on Hudson, NY. I thought about making the drive but decided to watch from my cocoon. However, I am maxing out on all my Bills totems....The Garden Gnome, Whiskey Glass, Cooler, Stadium Snow Globe, my Billss sweatpants and my Bills Jersey.
  8. I recall when hoodie and Pats ran it in unopposed for a 2 point conversion, many gamblers were either ecstatic or very upset.
  9. Not Bills or AFC related at all....but I'd love to see Mike McCarthy stick it to Jerry Jones. Guy was left dangling after Sunday and a lame duck all year. And Jerry refused to let him speak to anyone before his contract expires next Tuesday. Guy is a good, but not great coach who did a decent job with a terribly constructed, injury-plagued roster this past season. Has won a Super Bowl. Has a very good career W-L record. Jerry always looking for attention and holding court in Dallas. I'd love McCarthy to stick it to him and walk.
  10. I know a few Eagle fans in the triple cities. Some of them who date back to Concrete Charlie.
  11. Caught that. Nice to see. Getting that team into the playoffs was quite an accomplishment.
  12. I was at Shea for OJs record breaking game. 14 years old and with my Dad, who wanted to beat the traffic and leave . I think I was colder there that day than at any winter Game I've attended in Orchard Park
  13. Giants missed out on him because Tommy Cutlets won a few games for them last year, lowering their draft position....LOL
  14. Looks like he's going to present a problem in coming years. Teams will adjust but I suspect he will too.
  15. Because CBS is in a terrible bind Sunday for AFC Games. At least the Bills in the 430 Window provide Josh Allen. Most of the AFC Teams worth watching are playing Thursday night and Saturday on other networks
