  1. I know it was garbage time (for us), but Williams ran the ball like I was envisioning Moss to run it this year. I realize, Williams is a little bigger than Moss, but he ran with power. Moss is still kind of a mixed bag for me.
  2. I think as long as the Bills don't allow the Colts to dictate the game, the Bills will be fine. I don't anticipate that being a problem, as it rarely has been this season. Force the Colts into a shoot-out, and Phillip will become the turnover machine he has been throughout his career.
  3. I don't think Yeldon has dressed for more than 2 or 3 games all season.
  4. I am hoping for a Sunday game...or the late game on Saturday. If it is one of the early games on Saturday, it will be a day of avoiding scores while I am at work It's doable, but adds some stress to the day.
  5. Much, much different game now than it was when Kelly was playing. Not taking anything away from Josh, but as eye-popping as his numbers are, and as great as he has been, Josh's performance this season is one of a handful of comperable QB performances this year. It is just a passing game now. Guys like Kirk Cousins can put up loads of yards, td's etc etc ...but you will never confuse him with Fran Tarkington. From a leadership perspective (a hugely underrated factor, as far as I am concerned) I do give Josh a little bit of an edge. Allen has been the ideal teammate on and off the field...Kelly always had that on the field...but it took him a few seasons to grow into the the off-field stuff. Don't want to be the buzz-kill old guy, believe me I get all tingly watching Allen play, like everyone else...and I believe in the kid. But managing expectations is all part of it too...so far, he is doing great...fantastic...playoffs are the next test!
  6. This may not be the most appropriate place to bring this up, but I didn't want to start a thread, becasue it isn't "thread-worthy". Anyone who knows me here knows that music and the Buffalo Bills are my lifeblood. So I am always interested when the two intersect. I happen to love all types of music, all different eras. The fact that Josh is a Sinatra and Elvis fan is very good with me. DId anyone notice the t-shirt that Stefon Diggs was wearing in the "ESPN The Magazine" video feature? He was wearing what I believe to be a Smiths t-shirt. I know that will likely raise the ire of some, and I am not a huge Morrissey fan (in fact I hate him now), but the Smiths were a big part of my youth. I thought it was kinda cool. Hate them or not, they made some great singles in the 80's.
  7. I wil go on record as saying that I was one of those Allen doubters, when they drafted him. Despite knowing better, I let all the draft experts opinions get through to me. By the time the season started, however, I was fully behind him...it was pretty obvious from his first game action that there was something to him, if he was going to go down as a bust, it was going to be in an entertaining fashion, and if nothing else, he was going to make Bills football entertaining. It was this game you reference, his single loss to the Dolphins, that convinced me he was a guy worthy of the "franchise" moniker.
  8. Wow...I didn't realize that.
  9. Bills 24 Dolphins 21 This, as Bills rest starters most of the game.
  10. RIP! I loved them both. Either way, Ginger (Tina Louise) wins Survivor....the only remaining cast member.
  11. Of all the guys they are bringing in, Stills is the only one I could fathom as being someone they could/would rely on, even if minimally, to play in a playoff game.
  12. Very true...though our campus is massive. But the private property issue would be the same whether they are letting fans in the stadium or not. They will control as much as they can control, and depend on fans to be smart enough (a "hail mary" I know) to do what is right.
  13. I work at a major college University that allowed many people into their stadium this fall. Workred every football game this season. No tailgaiting was allowed...it was pretty easy to enforce, at least on the campus, which is normally one big tailgate party. It can be done.
  14. Do you really think that? Not saying you are wrong, but that if anything were to happen to Josh (heaven forbid) this season, that would be a really ballsy move by McDermott, to go to Webb. Wouldn't it?
  15. Yeah, not a big deal...but I would have liked to see him get some reps tonight, as there is a chance that next week could be an unusual game. Would like to see us with the full arsenel going, before the first playoff game. When he played against Arizona (I think it was) it was pretty clear that he wasn't fully healthy.
  16. Agree with your grades pretty much...I would only quibble on the Rams. I feel like they should get a U. Their defense alone should be enough to have them nailing down a playoff spot.
  17. He has really turned Rodgers into a really good QB!
  18. That catch by Adams on the last td drive was amazing
  19. No big deal, I can break a chair, just by sitting on it!
  20. When I was a kid, in the 70's, my dad would let me pick one game every year to go to. They had seasons...with 8 kids, one of us would tag along to each game (except the ones who had no desire to go). I would pour over the schedule, and the stats, and would always pick the game where the Bills play the worst team on the schedule, maximizning my chance of seeing a win. It didn't always work out the way I figured. Those long drives home from Rich were a lot more bearable when we won.
  21. Is it me, or did he just kinda fall on it, when he wasn't planning on it, more so than "dive through" the table?
  22. It is kind of the old-school approach. It used to be much more common.
  23. It will be interseting to see what happens with Darnold. I happen to think Darnold can be good too. And all of the sudden, Mitch Trubisky seems to be "getting it". Both guys were presumed gone in their current cities...but maybe not anymore? Just a reminder (as if we needed one) of how frustrating the QB search can be.
  24. Sorry Mr skin-herd, you are the one who is being "silly". So much of presidentail conduct has depended on the rule of law, and a certain presumption that somebody holding the position would presumably "never do that". What we have seen over the last four years, it is not safe to just presume that anyone holding the office would automatically have the best interest of the country in mind. There are certain norms that while not laws, were expectations for adults holding the position. It is clear from this current administrtation that everything needs to be defined in black and white legal terms, because a piece of ***** like Donald Trump, who has a hmongous cult following, have made it clear, they care little for laws, and even less for " norms". Some of us really don't want to see the bar lowered anymore than it has been. It may be the "way it works" but that doesn't mean it should.
