  1. I think it’s because we were the early game when everyone was pretty sober. And hours later……they just don’t remember watching the later games. 😋
  2. Exactly, and this is worth repeating. Simply “counting games” without any context is misleading. It’s not just the “how many”, who they are is critical and it has hurt our defense dramatically. Would you take 6 injured ST players, or one guy named Josh. The “who” is a big deal. I get it, the numbers are surprising….until you look beneath the surface.
  3. Marino was the only gunslinger there. Fouts threw long but was schemed open, and Montana was more precision. Very few NFL players could DREAM of making some of the plays Josh makes while he makes them look almost routine.
  4. The most amazing part to me was that Josh didn’t fall over and do his tumbling routine at the end. He lost some points from the Russian judges due to the lack of difficulty.
  5. …..AND, let us not forget that he’s played his last down as a Bill. That might have been my favorite!
  6. Relocation due to snow has happened twice in 49 years. The stadium decision is made. If you don’t like it, I suggest you get over it rather than make yourself miserable over something you have no control over. But, feel free to be you, of course.
  7. She would take a thermos of coffee and sleep thru every game at the Rockpile. Then we moved in 1973, and 80,199 other screaming fans couldn’t stop her from taking a little nap. It was uncanny. 🤷‍♂️
  8. I hope I don’t offend you if I say you sound like my wife. 😋
  9. Apparently it shrank in the wash. They didn’t realize Alaska was dry clean only. It’s OK, they still have plenty of elbow room.
  10. Tomorrow will be rough for me. My 94 year old mom has been in and out of hospitals and nursing homes since Sept 3 when she took a bad fall, breaking her pelvis in two places. She has fallen multiple times since then. We host Thanksgiving and are expecting 17 for tomorrow (down from 25 last year). It should be 18, but even with skilled nursing she is falling if she tries to get out of the wheelchair. There are four steps up to our house, and she can’t do that. Even with a wheelchair she has been known to fall in the bathroom. Getting that old sucks. So, tomorrow is not only Thanksgiving, but also my mom’s 95th birthday. We will take turns visiting her in the nursing home, but it will be the first time she has not been able to join us for the holidays. She said she was “not invited” after talking to one of my sisters. I explained it was out of concern for her safety, but it’s still crushing both of our hearts. I’d have paid almost anything to have some skilled care to make this possible, but we were not able to line anything up on a holiday with limited notice since her latest fall.
  11. IDK - it wasn’t me but some old friends had a group of people for Thanksgiving at their first house. They were so proud to be entertaining like adults. They ate early and then settled in to watch football. Before too long they realize everybody has food poisoning……in their one bathroom house. 😱 .
  12. When my Magic 8 Ball is in the shop I use fortune cookies exclusively to determine the path of our financial planning.
  13. I swear I woke up today thinking this was Thanksgiving Day. The first thing my wife said to me was that she made a shopping list for me. “Are you crazy? Are they even open today???” I’m afraid I overreacted like a typical Bills fan after a loss!
  14. I am a man of tradition and routine! And mostly I want to blame him if we EVER lose again!
  15. This MUST become a tradition! We want photo evidence that this happens for every game, or the next loss is on YOU!
  16. Have you guys seen the renderings? They are awesome!
  17. I feel terrible, but I didn’t get you anything.
  18. I don’t mind paying them…….as long as they earn it. Guaranteed contracts don’t force the player to work hard. It’s bad enough already with huge signing bonuses.
  19. My Home Owners Association has a specific ban on Harrier jets. They don’t like parking in the road overnight, either.
  20. I would want him on my intramural old man YMCA basketball team. If he was good enough to play in the NFL today, he would be playing in the NFL today. He’s not. They gambled on Crowder, he got hurt, and here we are. That’s life in the NFL. We need a great young and cheap player to play that Beasley role. The slot guy who sits in the weak spots of a zone. Time to look at the Lions game.
  21. I won’t argue the math. I think processing speed and foot speed are part of the same formula. There is a sweet spot.
  22. Do you see how badly you scared us!?!? But I’m glad you stuck to the nutritionist recommended beverages.
  23. Long term? If he doesn’t respond soon, will you start getting nervous?
  24. Are you looking for a cleanse? I hope? Happy that you made the trip, created the memories and helped bring home a W!
  25. So, are you saying we have the rest of the week to look forward to? 😋
