Great post. I like what I saw from the defensive line today, as we all did, but I think the offensive production, and especially keeping Josh healthy, is dependent on the offensive line. Using second stringers, getting first downs time after time, it is exciting to consider what Diggs and Beas can do.

Only thing that has stopped the Bills are the Blue Angels.

You are absolutely clueless on how this country works, and how this thing has been handled. What you post are conclusions based on zero knowledge and demonstrate gross ignorance.

Not an average fan. First game was in Sep 63 when the Bills tied the Kansas City Chiefs. My uncle took me. Sat behind Chief's receiver Chris Burford's parents. The smell and the excitement got to me. Throughout grammar school, my best friend's dad was an usher. He could take two with him so my friend and I went to every home game. Standing room only for usher's guests at War Memorial, but never missed a game. Did one week as a ball boy. Long, complicated story, but got to hand Juice a roll of tape and spot the ball all week for the offense. It was the H. Preston Ridelhuber game against the Pats. A win. Saw them practice that option a number of times during the week. One game, listening on the radio to Van, my mother insisted that I wash the "storm windows" for installation during half time. Rushed it and ended up putting my knee through one and four stitches later at Mercy Hospital, the usual loss. As an adult, during the Super Bowl loss to the Cowboys, fractured a small hand in my right hand as the result of pounding it in a sofa wood trim piece screaming "go" at the Nate Odom's interception in the first half. Three kids, two born in San Francisco during the 49'ers heyday. The two boys are lifelong Bills fans who we share every Sunday afternoon game at my house. Sunday Ticket, big meals. My daughter is as well, but not in the area. Two grand daughters, both are being well groomed as Bills fans Last week, my son was reading a book with his three year old that had a number of cupcakes displayed. She asked him which cupcake each one of the family would like the most. When she got to me, he told her grandpa would probably like this one with the football on it. She said, "Grandpa loves the Buffalo Bills."

I agree on Romney.

Maybe you don't read well. Don't change other poster's words. I said the greatest embarrassment, not the greatest disaster, and the evidence wasn't fabricated, it was believed by the intel community, presented to the two branches of government that are concerned about such things and responded to by both of those branches resulting in the same conclusion and same commitment to commit forces

I think that when you have an amazingly disparate group of people it takes special people to unite them to a common cause. The US is incredibly disparate, and the differences and threats from the "other" group are the coin of the realm for the media. It is going to take a special leader to bring us towards unity. Pelosi and Shumer are poster children for this. Hillary wasn't it. Trump was a disaster. Biden just oversaw the greatest embarrassment in US history and is trying to excuse it. Someone has to emerge to unify us to a common purpose, but I'm not optimistic. Afghanistan is a special situation that points all this out. Nikki Haley anyone?

Incorrect.

Nonsense.

Wise choice. The worst days are days that are planned to need everything to be perfect to work out. If things turn out perfect, it still isn't worth the stress

We've also killed thousands of them and interdicted their financial support. The way this gets stopped is to cut off supply. The Taliban is a group of people who would not survive a high school entrance exam. They are supported by entities that are determined to fight proxy wars. All the usual suspects, well at least two or three. End that, you end the Taliban.

2009. Fort Hood.

In my view, humbly asserted, it is a huge mistake to try to place any political blame on a US president for Afghanistan. The place is not a "country" in any sense that Americans would understand. It is impossible to "govern" a group of tribes that have no national identity and rely on the next person who either, (a) is not going to kill them and their family, or (b) is going to provide them their next meal or dollar. Islam informs many governments, most notably Iran and to a lesser extent Pakistan. Those countries are problems. Afghanistan has no gov; has no national sense and is run by momentum in ten square mile areas. Obvious in 1979 and more obvious now.

I am well aware of how the Taliban was formed. I am also aware of US, Pakistan, Chinese, British and Arab Sates support for the mujahidden against the Soviet invasion. The fact is that the Taliban was never an ally of the US, and did not exist in the 80's.

It's not semantics. The Mujahideen, who were grossly outclassed in their struggle against the Soviet assassination's and invasion were nothing like what eventually became the Taliban, whom were never our ally.

The Taliban wasn't around in the 80's. The US provided support to the Mujahideen in their efforts against the Soviet invasion. The Mujahideen was a fragmented group of local militias. Some went on to become involved with the Taliban, but the Taliban was never a US ally.

I have a really odd reunion group. AOCS, which is Aviation Officer Candidate School, the school portrayed in the movie "Officer and a Gentleman." Just a great group of guys. Started out with about 25 guys, ended up with 18 that were commissioned. A great group, and oddly, a number of the guys who didn't make it through attend as well, as this will be our third reunion. Pensacola, at the Blue Angels return to winter home airshow in Nov. Seafood, Cajun, the Blues, and the Naval Aviation Museum, which is a treasure, and with the guys that I have really strong ties with that at 21 years old, I never thought I had the skill to join that club. Ended up being four pilots and 11 back seaters. The best part of the military is the friends you make. In Naval aviation, among carrier guys, they are lifelong. Looks like a good weekend.

Same as they did last year, .and won Sep 19 vs Sep 20.

Pay less attention to the temperature, and more to the dew point. Dew point is the temp at which the current amount of moisture in the atmosphere will condense. The higher the dew point, the more water vapor in the air mass. Not always stressed by local weather folks, but far more indicative of the level of uncomfortableness. California, Arizona and other southwest states can have temps in the mid 90's but the dew point is so low it really isn't that uncomfortable. Dew point is a way more an accurate indicator than relative humidity. As an aside, know which state has the highest relative humidity in the US on an annual basis? Alaska. WNY dew point now is 69 degrees. Not Florida level, which can get into the stifling mid 70's, but fairly high, and quite high for that area.

A pick six is the worst thing a qb can do. One qb did, one didn't. I'd give the "duel" decision to the one who didn't.

We may have, but he just got a lot more expensive.

Peripheral damage. Daboll is likely gone, more so now. Anybody in the NFL who can turn a "project" QB into this type of contract is going to be gone.

From a long term fan's perspective. Josh's per annum salary is going to be roughly twice what it cost to build the stadium. The times....they are a changin'.

Given the recent "arm arrogance" diagnosis, I have little hope.

This is starting to look Carlos Danger-y.
