Let’s not change sports to try to make your point. How many Bills’ road games have you been to in the last decade or so? When the visiting team takes over a stadium on the road, that is pretty special. And that’s not just one wild and crazy guy.

I can’t beleive they didn’t click on TayTay when he was looking for a receiver!

WOW!!! Good thing defense doesn’t matter!

CHEER UP! At least the Bills can’t lose. I’ll run and hide now……

May God give peace to #57. What a punch in the gut!!!

Maybe “just” needs defining, I don’t claim to be the best. I am sure we are among the best, and in some ways different. Like the Bills team, our fans are top tier. The thing that sets us apart in some ways is that we were there thru the Dark Ages. Steelers fans are loyal, but they never had extended stench like we endured. JMO

I’ll start by mentioning I’ve lived in several NFL cities. When our sons turned 16 I took them to Buffalo for a Bills game as a rite of passage. I’m sure this happens with all teams, some more than others. The special part was the welcome we received. Once I started talking with people explaining why we were there Saturday after arriving, they were BEGGING us to come to their tailgate the next day. That is not the mood in most cities. Having said that, it’s a pyramid like most things. Steeler fans deserved credit for representing well, as do Chiefs fans for their tailgating, etc. It’s all good entertainment. Unique is….unique. Technically they are all unique, but I like ours better! 😋

Aggressive = dumb when you roll the dice and lose. We want them to take chances, but…… It had better work!

Be warned, it might get lonely in here. 😋 Hiring a Ben Johnson sounds great, but he’s not been a HC before. There is always the risk he’s one of the guys who is a great coordinator, but not a good head coach. It’s always a gamble. And if you want to say that is true of McD, that’s fine. But he does seem like a legit leader of men. I have zero control over this, so I can’t get too worked up about it.

My brother-in-law will do everything in the absolute optimal way. He’s a chemical engineer and is more at home with details than people. He would calculate the total amount and determine the daily cost of funds at today’s rates, etc. Do the math. Sure, if I’m a Family Office (~$100Mil) kind of rich guy, we’ll pay someone to do the best they can because that is real money. Likewise, if every penny mattered I’d do what I could at every turn because I need the money. We are in between. I’d rather know it’s done and paid for and move on if I’m looking at a typical tax payment. For a few hundred extra dollars max sitting on the cash for a couple extra months…..we can’t be bothered. If we owe it, we like to pay it, even if it’s to the government. EDIT: I just did some rough math on what we’d gain by holding onto our money until the last minute. Even in what is, for us, a huge tax bill year, it’s not worth dragging it out. I feel better looking at it that way. .

I’m sure this was covered in the original thread, but how do you feed the birds without squirrels and birds dumping enough food to attract rats? We have a bird bath, but I’d love to have more visitors. We used to have hummingbirds and painted buntings when we lived in Hilton Head and they were awesome! Our neighbor in FL had citrus trees and she would beg us to take all the fruit we could before it fell. We were feeding a bunch of critters between our houses when we let it hit the ground. No bueno.

But if you don’t win the Super Bowl you are clearly an idiot. I think that has been well established. Over and over.

I’m glad we found yet another enlightening way to do this. S/ .

When I attend Bills games on the road, it’s clear that it’s more than that. We can take over another team’s stadium. Don’t compare Bills fans with either of the Falcons fans. I live in Atlanta, and the Falcons are merely an afterthought here. Football fans in the south are 99% interested in COLLEGE football. Every market, and every fanbase has its own flavor.

TayTay was close friends with Kelsea Ballerini when she lived in an apartment in Nashville across from Vanderbilt. My son lived in the apartment adjacent to Ballerini. We’d see TayTay in the parking garage as we unloaded groceries or in the hallways. I’d say that gives me deep and personal insight into her soul. I’m sure she is still talking about seeing us, as well. I’m a bit surprised I haven’t been invited into the suite with her for the games, but I assume that was due to her knowing of my Bills fandom. What else could it be? 🤷‍♂️ EDIT: I’m not bragging when I say she may have written a song about me. I AM bragging when I say that I’d have no idea if she did, since I could not name a single song of hers. .

Well, congrats on your comeback! It’s a Super Bowl Miracle!!! 😋

Well, her nurse wrote it out for her in a confusing way. My mom took SEVEN instead of one. Like that European one, but it did look like a 7. Her side effect was falling out of her chair and spending the night on the kitchen floor. We have video, which doesn’t do a lot of good now. She’s now in full time care, but the medicine DID help her, or so it seemed. It’s an interesting time. My mother is now like an infant, and my son has an infant. God bless us all.

I was watching a cooking show (grilled mushrooms) and something intrigued me. I got mushrooms and thought I had most of the rest of the marinade. True, I was only missing a few things, but much of what I do have had expired. I thought having to get 7 more things was a lot for one dish, since after I take a few teaspoons I’ll wait for expiration day again. All worth it though if we find a great recipe for our vegetarian DIL! I like the experimenting. I’ll grill those tomorrow and watch Netflix or something until football is being PLAYED.

Sorry to hear you are all dealing with this. What did the Doc prescribe? My mother was given gabapentin for sciatica type nerve pain and it did seem to help.

How many times do I have to apologize for that??? 😋 I had never heard of that, but I can imagine it was pretty awful.

I knew he was unavailable (not a plus), but I thought he was just mediocre when he was playing. Again, just a general impression so I won’t press it. What happens with Baker and a contract has me very curious.

But……did they? Honestly, I couldn’t guess what their numbers looked like, but I don’t remember hearing a lot of WOW about Watson. I could be wrong.

Maybe he didn’t come FAR ENOUGH back, because Flacco feels like he played when I was in middle school.

Oh, I hate it when that happens!!! Anything for attention, I suppose.
