The OLine makes everyone better. I’d like more speed on both sides of the ball, but you win the game in the trenches. Both sides of the ball. I’m fine with Motor, and if we can add speed that is all the better.

That’s a very poor answer that may just take you out of the running, per Schefter. (Link pending)

We can win without the top seed, but I sure would like home games! Our fans matter, just like in KC. Having said that, if Aaron Rodgers has to come to the AFC, I wouldn’t mind it being with the Broncos to steal a game or two each season away from the Chiefs and Raiders. The Cheats* got home field far too often because they owned the AFCE while other divisions cannibalized themselves.

I was thinking more Rob Schneider in The Waterboy. The accent adds a nice touch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi1LMIUOOAI Well, THAT didn’t go as hoped. .

Oh NO! We suck AGAIN! Couldn’t this go into one of the many other “we suck” threads? We will be back. We have Josh, a strong FO and good coaches, despite making some mistakes and being imperfect. Andy Reid got fired for such events, and I bet the Eagles would like him back. We will have more chances. Every year 31 teams go home unhappy. At least we were a serious contender. I’ve stepped away from the ledge. Maybe look up the serenity prayer. EDIT: Some might argue we didn’t get as far as last year because we were not in the AFCCG. I would argue we improved and gave the Chiefs a SERIOUS run for their money this year. I call that progress. . .

We bought a Buckhead townhouse from a young guy who sold a company and made some good money. (We rented to our son and DIL - for about half the market rent.) He decided to become a day trader. We continued to get some of his mail. After about a year the mail became predominantly past due notices. I’m not referring to Big Turk or anyone else in particular. I’m just saying it’s not as easy as it looks, and most people are not as smart as they think they are. Sucks to learn that lesson the hard way.

Are we allowed to do that? Do you think someone might notice? I like Knox a LOT, but he can’t be our only TE, which feels to be the case. Every team has needs and salary cap concerns. I feel like our FO is a bit smarter than most. It’s been a LONG tome since I trusted them so much.

Maybe not, and I get that, but every parking lot had it piled as high as they could reach. It was CRAZY! What to do? 🤷‍♂️ I was a senior in high school and missed three straight weeks without having to make it up. My family had just partially moved but sent the movers home early so they didn’t end up living with us. The two houses were within easy walking distance, so we had party central in the old house for all our buddies. Great times!

I would NOT have wanted to be the first guy to drive a dump truck full of snow onto the lake to put the snow back where it came from after they ran out of places to put it!

I think that makes him in charge of orange slices at half time. It’s a great gig if you can get it! .

Ummm……….what is the Pro Bowl?

I think my own mother knows who got the steal in our marriage. My wife doesn’t make too many mistakes, but to her credit she sticks with it!

Mom? Is that YOU???

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This has helped me a lot in life.

I skipped to the end. Did anyone else refuse to click?

OK, in 2018 we played them in OP, then 3 straight years in Nashville. We also played in Nashville in 2015. Interestingly, all games were played in October. I guess, at least lately, they like to save conference games until later in the season for the most part. I enjoyed attending three of those games in Nashville, missing only the Covid/no fans game. If you ever have an opportunity to see a game there, I highly recommend it. It’s an OK stadium, but a GREAT setup with the pedestrian bridge from downtown to the game. .

So…..the challenge is upon YOU to decide the most creative way to start a thread about THE EXACT SAME THING, in a way that nobody notices. For the one thousandth time. Good luck!

Umm, the Rams? But do they get a vote? I think we should get outraged that this hasn’t happened already!!! Torches and pitchforks!!! How incompetent! Fire everybody! OK, I feel a little better.

Hypothetical trade threads are my favorite! 🙄 They are pretty much ALL ridiculous. I know better than to click, but here I am. This is all on me. I freely admit it.

Do you mean Futbol? Ted Lasso is the man! But I was hoping for a few more seasons before he got a new gig!

….the kind of thing that can happen when owners make decisions instead of hiring qualified GM’s and getting out of the way.

We played in Nashville for four straight years. Sometimes it just works that way. Division vs division, best team against best, worst vs worst. My dilemma is which team to try to hit on the road. Several good options. At least I can cross of Detroit. Who knew they were still in the NFL? .

I’ve posted this before, but I met a guy in the Chicago airport on the way to the opener who said he was Mitch’s uncle. We were chatting as half the plane was going to the Bills game, and he said it would be Mitch’s last year. I said I thought he had one more year on his contract, and he just shrugged and said “well, you know….” Sat with him and his wife on the flight talking about Mitch at home and his family. It seemed legit. I didn’t know what to make of it, and I was hesitant to post, but if his own family is telling strangers in airports…..🤷‍♂️ The guy has all the money he will ever need and a young family. If he wants to be sure he can be 100% there for his family for many years to come, I wish him well and thank him for his time with our Bills. .

The Clowney hype was MUCH greater, largely due to one play in college where he was completely unblocked and it made a good highlight. No question I’d rather have Oliver, especially at this point. It was amusing how Clowney thought every team in the league would be knocking on his door, and he just sat, and sat, and sat….before taking what he could get. It’s how we roll with the deep rotation and a lot of guys to pay. We want to be sure our guys are fresh for the last 13 seconds of every game! I apologize, I am seeking help.

And maybe for the rest of my life. As much as I hate being on the wrong end of the outcome, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a better football game. I had planned to have a party for the AFC/NFC Championship games. Not because the Bills were expected to play, but because an old friend used to do it and it was the best party of the year. More football, less hype. He went all out with things that were extravagant for us back when we were young and poor. We moved into a new house last month that seems made for a party and I wanted to break it in. From the last 13 seconds on Sunday night the wind was sucked out of my sails, now I’m not so sure.
