So, who you got, and what was the spread? I’m glad that’s not one of my problems. The list is long enough already.

I don’t even find A List celebs interesting. Not at all. They are just people, and often an odd group. We have known some famous people, and they hate the famous part of “rich and famous”, but I suppose one often needs the other.

I don’t listen to the local radio stuff, but I thought Mike Schoop was everyone’s worst nightmare. This is coming full circle for me now.

Dunkirk Donski, eh? Do you connect dots as a hobby? Do you wear fake glasses with a built in mustache? Nobody will recognize you!!! 😂

There is the time he missed, then the much longer time that he was hobbled. I’m not saying that excuses all, but it’s real, whether you like it or not. Let us all pray for a fully healthy break out year that earns him a fortune, because that probably means very good things for the Bills and their fans!

If I could go back and do things over, I’d wait until the MegaMillions numbers come out, then go back and get myself a new ticket. 😋 Did BigFoot write that? 😋

Why would you say since no games have been played, we must logically say Miami has closed the gap? That’s not logical at all. If we are judging by last year, the Bills won 2 of 3, and the third was a farce in an oven. (The NFL still needs to address the inequity of that stadium situation.) The Bills owned all he stats and finished with a TE playing OLine with a torn ACL due to attrition from the heat. I can’t take much from that game. The playoff game was close only because the Bills shot themselves in the foot. Repeatedly. And still won. I suppose that game was a sign of things to come. Can’t play terrible six quarters in a row in the playoffs. If we need to see games played to judge anything, then the gap should be the same. If we are going by what has happened on paper, maybe the gap is closed, or maybe it’s become wider, depending upon your viewpoint. Or maybe it has in fact remained the same. If we want to be as objective as possible, I go back to the Vegas odds to win the Super Bowl. Vegas and the gambling world has the Bills somewhat behind KC (fair enough) with Miami significantly behind the Bills. They don’t have a dog in the fight. The Dolphins are a legit team and a threat every week. I’m not trashing them, though I don’t trust Tua to hold up over a season. Anyone can be hurt, but he’s been like a China doll in college and so far in the pros. If you want to go back and look at Super Bowl odds from LAST year, maybe they have closed the gap from last year, but they are still a good bit behind as we sit today as judged by those with no rooting interest. .

We’ve got our guy. There are NO do-overs! I can live with the rest to be right where we are right now.

Oh, I don’t really disagree, but that 11 win team was loaded. Some people like to act like “11 wins! No drop off there!” But it was. I mean, who is NOT a drop off when they follow Brady. Belichick had a lot more talent to work with back then. I am still THRILLED that they couldn’t pull off the undefeated season!!!

Yeah, one way to look at it is 11 wins is good. Another way to see it is it was 5 fewer wins than the season before, so that’s a loaded team that won despite a BIG drop off at QB.

By the time the playoffs roll around and Von is back to playing winning football, we should have the pleasure of seeing some QB pressure in crunch time when we need it. Throw Ed in there as well, and it will be a pleasant change seeing Mahomes, Burrows and the others scurrying for cover. We’ve been on the wrong end of that pressure FAR too often!

We bought Atlanta Braves tickets on-line when they moved to the new stadium near us. We got inside fine, but even the ushers had to say “I’m sorry, these seats just don’t exist.” They made up for it by taking us to the best available seats in the house! 😊

I had a tennis buddy/bank client who had a store called The House Of Maps. I was in there and bought stuff (mostly MLS maps) but I’m glad he hit retirement when he did!

Those could be about right. Who has the team to advance? Time will tell. For the record, I think they are a bit low.

Refer back to the Vegas odds for a reality check. It’s not everything, but it’s an important thing.

OH! I get it! Forget almost everyone else. This whole season pretty much hinges on Dorsey, what he does and how he does it.

If I had to decide, I’d take closer to the higher end than lower end. Actually reaching the higher end would be awesome as a rookie with other targets on the field. I’d LOVE to be surprised! He runs and moves like a smaller guy.

Sources tell me they saw him in the whirlpool placing a $1,000 wager on winning OROY! He’s betting on himself! On campus. This is why we can’t have nice things…… My source was Bill Belichick’s dog, so don’t trust it. He’s been right before, but he’d lie to you just as quick as he’d pee on your lawn. I think he was messing with me.

That’s a lot of dough! And it at least looks good. One of the better pizza places here opens at a certain time and “closes when they run out of dough.” I doubt that’s ever happened, but they like to describe it that way.

Take advantage of what they are offering you. You want to double Diggs? We have different ways to hurt you and I’d love to see us using the TE’s and RBs efficiently. I remember Brady starting games with like 10 completions to 8 different players. It would drive me CRAZY!

As I believe GunnerBill pointed out, they seemed to have been at least partially figured out already last year. I think they scored about 29 ppg early in the season with a healthy Tua, then closer to 20 ppg for the last 4 games. I think I got that right, but if my memory failed me……I’ll just blame him somehow. 😋

Give them a map, and see if they can figure out how to use it and then get a good laugh when they try to fold it back up! 😋

I wonder if that is more or less popular than Hard Knocks with vets. Yay…..an extra week of camp……lucky us.

Fair enough to me.
