  1. Dawkins is our best offensive linemen, he is homegrown talent, the team has other needs and little salary cap to play around with. So, yes, simply "no"!!
  2. To be honest, the adoration for Josh from fans, and media made me a little nervous this past season. I realize he had a number of haters, but it kind of swung the other way too...we love when our guys get national recognition, but that can turn to national scorn pretty quick too.
  3. To be honest, I never heard of him until today... but judging from comments I have seen elsewhere, it sounds like he was a Bills fan, along with being a "Chiefs guy". Sounds like his podcast wsa a good one. RIP
  4. Optimistic as hell about the Bills.. bummed that we are 6 months awway from the next season. There is football season, and then the rest of the year.
  5. Yeah, now that you mention it, that sounds familair. They celebrated the 100th NFL Season in 2019, but perhaps it had something to do with that. The longest NFL rivalry, Packers and Bears. One of my best friends is a Bears fan...I have seen more of this miserable matchup than I care to remember....Packers are to the Bears, what the Pats have been to us.
  6. You are probably right...but in 2017 the Patriots beat the Rams in the Super Bowl, but the 2018 Thursday night opener was Green Bay at Chicago. The Patriots hosted the Steelers on Sunday Night Football that year. But, I get it, the Super Bowl champion will play host opening weekend.
  7. I am guessing Bucs at Rams to open the 2021 NFL season. Seems they normally want the Super Bowl winner on that opening Thursday night. Unless there is another huge QB move, the Rams will be one of the more talked about and intriguing NFC teams this offseason. Large tv market...
  8. Whatever they do with the defense, they have to infuse it with a "nasty" element that they are lacking sometimes. The Chiefs had it against us... the Bucs defense had it the other night...the Ravens always have it. They may not win every game, but most everyone was a little scared of Balitmore in the playoffs, as much becasue their defensive reputation as their QB.
  9. Trump couldn't get a better stand-up comedian/lackey to defend him? Feeling a little guilty about backing this peice of ***** B-Man? i thought not...keep your head up your ass.
  10. No doubt in my mind, the Bucs won because of their defense... but trying to downplay Brady just sounds dumb after a while.
  11. Remember that...Kelvin Benjemin caught Josh Allen's first NFL td pass...the first of 100's
  12. Pretty amazing year to be a Tampa Bay sports fan...
  13. I have a roommate who roots for QB's...she loved Brady, but ditched him (to her credit) after deflate-gate. Now she is all about Mahomes. I like the kid, but she is so freaking obnoxious. I had to watch the Bills/Cheifs game on my own.
  14. You know, I think Rodgers is an excellent QB. I always kind of like the Packers as a default team...but there is something a little unlikable about him. I appreciate that he is not a cookie-cutter responder. and politically, I think he and I are symaptico. But, there is an air of smugness about him that isn't very appealing. I like him, but I can see why some don't. Though, anyone who makes the argument that he isn't good, or overrated (nobody here seems to be making that argument) is just off.
  15. Honeslty, I don't think it is a bad thing that he didn't win. Keep this team hungry.
  16. I know there were rumors about him having an "attitude" problem, but I just don't see it. If anybody had a chance to see the extended NFL Films highlights package from the AFC Championship game, with all the sideline microphone stuff, you can't help but be impressed by what a leader the guy is. It wasn't the phony stuff...they just show him pacing up and down the sidelines throughout the game, firing up teammates. "We can still win this!" It seemed very real, and sincere. The guy wants to win. I think we have a team that has a great attitude overall...but I wish they all showed a little more of that kind of "nasty" desire to win, like Diggs has. The Chiefs had it against us... we need more. Diggs is a great example.
  17. Sorry, if it has been brought up before, but you realize, if the Bucs win on Sunday, LeSean McCoy would have earned back to back Super Bowl rings, after leaving Buffalo...all without breaking a sweat?
  18. I came to cards in 1973. I was 8 years old. I remember buying pack after pack, putting together nearly an entire set. I had multiples of all the Bills players, but never could pull an OJ Simpson. The brothers who lived next door to me, who always had the best toys, the best everything, collected cards too. They had 4 of the Simpson cards. I tried every trade combo I could think of for that one card. The older brother wouldn't budge. Finally, I went all Mike Ditka on him, and offered him every single card I owned (up to that point, it was lots of 1973 football, hockey and basketball) for that one damn card. Every Buffalo Bill, Sabre and Brave. He finally accepted my offer. I have amassed a pretty huge card collection over the decades, but that one card is still my most treasured card. You can probably get a nice one now for about $10.00 It was a beauty. At that time, most of the football cards were kind of portrait shots of the player, with no helmet. But this card had an action shot of Juice, mid "shake and bake" move, as a Bears linebacker (#60 Wally Chambers) is tailing behind him. Just a beautiful card...the only complaint, OJ's helmet is just solid white, as they didn't have copyright for logos. Those boxes are probably worth more than most of the cards! Very nice!
  19. I would guess it is becasue the Pats offensive roster is probably worse than what he is leaving behind in Detroit. He also got a little taset of the "Patriot way" from the previous coach, Matt Patrica...who I believe is returning to New England.
  20. Think there is any chance that the Lions try to trade Goff?
  21. She was based on David Chase's (Italian) mother...he said she bore a striking resemblance...including here height.
  22. Honestly, I was missing Lawson at points this season.
  23. You know, this 2020 season was the exception to that rule. Not saying that I didn't think we could beat Tennessee, KC and Arizona in the regular season (or KC in the playoffs), but none of those losses were super surprising. Going in, we really didn't know just how good the Bills would be this year, so assuming victories over Chiefs and Titans was something I don't think most did...and for some reason, the way the Arizona game fell on the schedule, I always had that game earmarked as a loss. What a great season this really was. Could definitely see Buffalo/KC opening the season on Thursday night...or Sunday Night opening weekend. Especially if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
