Nice job!

So sorry to hear about your Dad, Amanda. Let him know we're circling the wagons for him. Mods, please consider pinning this on the main page, as well. Bill is such an institution here we should make sure everyone sees Amanda's post.

My hometown once again embarrasses itself by unveiling the most demonic mascot ever. I think someone at City Hall had a few too many McTokes before they gave this the green light. http://www.peoplepets.com/2015/10/15/article/totes-mcgoats-niagara-falls-new-recycling-mascot

Take a few minutes and read about the other man in that iconic photo from the 1968 Olympics. A great read and it would make for a compelling 30 for 30. http://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/the-white-man-in-that-photo/

Awesome story. Glad you got to meet Fred. When the Talley fund was going on Fred sent out this tweet. I'll cherish it forever. https://twitter.com/fredsmerlas/status/538379669637455873

Pierre McGuire talks about the Phenom Jack Eichel http://www.tsn.ca/radio/toronto-1050/mcguire-eichel-poised-and-under-control-1.376052

This may have already been discussed somewhere in this thread, but I thought this snippet in the CBS story was interesting: The Bills reportedly wanted Matt Simms, who is on the Falcons' practice squad, but Simms declined because he thinks he has a better future in Atlanta.

Yeah, I agree. I thought he would have spent all Summer cooking up a special Eichel goal call. On a related note, RJ once shared that his best goal call was one he never got to make. When Clint Malarchuk was the goalie and Dale Hawerchuk and Dave Andreychuk were forwards, he was waiting for a play where the goalie would send the puck up to Dale who would then feed Dave for a goal in front of the net. The call? "Here a 'chuk, there a 'chuk, everywhere a 'chuk, chuk."

Eichel's filthy goal wins it for the sabres. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/25337143/watch-jack-eichel-scores-incredible-goal-to-lead-sabres-over-blue-jackets

The ever uninspiring Mike Rodak actually says the Titans recovered that kick in his latest column on ESPN.

One more... 11) Easley should be made to do push-ups in the aisle on the entire plane ride back to Buffalo.

That's tough. Would you trade for an experienced goalie or ride Johnson and see if he can elevate his game?

Rapid Reaction - 10 Observations About Today's Game 10) The Bills had no business winning this game. They were outplayed through 3 1/2 quarters and had almost zero offensive output, but they found a way to win. Many fans won't allow themselves to find any joy in this win, but at the end of the day it's a "W" and it's also a conference win. Good teams find ways to win on bad days - The Bills did that today. 9) Chris Hogan came up big on the game-winning drive. He caught a huge bomb, nearly threw for the TD (wow, Greg Roman) and made a nice catch on a low throw for the TD. 7-11 was open when it mattered most today. 8) The defense won the game today and they should all get game balls. They did a great job of limiting Mariota and finally got some real pressure from the front four. Cold weather football is on the horizon, it's comforting to see the Cold Front showing up on radar. 7) The plan was to run the ball, use short, controlled passes to move the sticks while protecting a young QB with limited NFL starts and play stout defense. It almost worked perfectly - for the Titans. The Bills had a similar game plan, but they again sleepwalked through the first half where they didn't even cross midfield. You won't win many games in the NFL playing 30 minutues of offense or less. 6) Denarius Moore we hardly knew ya. The recently signed WR and PR took back his first kick and immediately put the ball on the astroturf. That's not the way to lock down one of only 32 punt return positions in all of the league. Let's hope that Marcus Thigpen didn't sublet his apartment yet. 5) Boom went bust, Boobie didn't flash and Cierre failed to give anyone Wood. The Bills need Shady and Karlos to get well soon. 4) Tyrod finally let loose and ran the ball today and the results were stunning. His run on both the first TD play and the long 3rd down play on the final scoring drives were things of beauty. He was the Bills best runner today and that may be true even when the starting and backup RBs return. Especially until Watkins can come back healthy and revive the passing game, the call from the Bills sideline should be a Jenny-inspired, "Run, Tyrod, Run!" 3) The Bills should fair catch every punt. Seriously. They must be the most penalized team in the NFL on punt returns. They start so many drives backed up to their goal line and it's a real momentum killer. 2) The Bills should also award a game ball to Titans Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt. The Tennesee head man was so conservative today Fox News offered him a news anchor seat. Kicking a field goal with a very short 4th down, punting on another 4th and short with just a few minutes left in the game and only 1 time-out left? That's the type of ultra-safe coaching that gets a team beat and it certainly did today. 1) The bottom line is that the Bills improved to 3-2, picked up another conference win and now have a critical showdown with the Bengals at the Ralph next Sunday. Nobody calling the Whiner Line will enjoy this one, but you should. Ugly wins count just the same in the standings and today's was a double-bagger that still tastes far sweeter than a loss surely would have.

As I understand it, until the puck crossed back out of the Ottawa zone. So, theoretically, it could be many minutes. Ridiculous.

It wasn't "thrown" until after the goal was scored. It's a very bad look for the league, imo. Challenge a goal, sure, but not an offside nearly a full minute before the goal.

That's the one.

Thanks, Tom. Knew I could count on you.

This is the most entertaining thread in a long time. I need to run and get some popcorn, please hold all comments ....................................................................................okay, I'm back. Carry on.

I drive this stretch of the QEW often, it's between Ft. Erie and Niagara Falls. Of all of the things you could imagine running out onto the highway in front of you a Buffalo would fall somewhere between a Giraffe and a Sasquatch. Pretty unreal and thank God the driver wasn't killed.

If a half a chicken laid a half an egg in half a day, how long would it take for a wooden leg monkey to kick the dills out of a pickle?

If they sign any running back not named Bryce Brown you'd have to think that Brown must have overturned a gas can and set the bridge ablaze on his way out last month.

Did you see my pm, 26?

I must be invisible today. LOL
