The BLUES Brothers

Heading 7/16 - 7/28 with wife to celebrate our 60 birthdays this summer...We will be with EF Tours, but will have some free time while in London, Edenborough/Scotland, back to Liverpool, then Dublin and Kearny, Ireland. No soccer/football games coincide, and can't swing it to St Andrews, but would appreciate restaurants, etc as our first time there. Go Bills!

Loved it! This one was like a Limited mini-series lol! I think I've only started one other thread on here. Thank you to all who participated! Go Bills!

1 - Emmanuel Sanders 0:

11 Cole Beasley. 10:

15 Jack Kemp deserves a shout out more than Jake Kumerow, right? Now for some controversy, should i say "cotra-jersey" lol Who you going to go with? The Greatest Bills Comeback QB, a recent WR or a new face to the team...? nah... #14

Learned something new today... OK - it is all teed up for me: 34: From Oklahoma State, The Therminator, NFL MVP and Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas! 33:

aware i am getting older, but OJ was 32, right? for 36 Aware I'm getting older but OJ was always 32, right? So for 36 - going with the only one i can recall - Lawyer Milloy 35... Ahh- 35 has been handled... Thank you, Toomstone (i was thinking Carwell Gardner) and wonder who will be remembered and selected for the infamous #34

53 Will Grant for old school fans, (or Tyrel Dodson for the younglings) 52:

Enjoying wings Friday night at "Bar-Bill East" (a great Buffalo area restaurant that opened up here in Rochester) and i mentioned to my buddy, a Bills fan, I used to remember numbers, even phone #s based on jersey #s of Bills players. For example, someone's last 4 digits were 5676 (easy - Talley/Smerlas. We started to randomly think of one player per #, and surprised we would think of different players for the same jersey. I thought it would be a trip down rosters current or past to check off as many boxes as possible. This may have been done before, but I come here often and don't recall it, and it is the s-l -o -w part of the offseason - so here goes, for your enjoyment, too i hope. Countdown from 99 backwards, all the way to Keon Coleman. Try not to use google, either... It will be easy for the classics like Bruce, Andre, Thurman etc, but like I was saying, sometimes a number may resonate with a different player. For me i will start with 99, and instead of Marcell Dareus, i thought of: #99: Gabe Northern... GO! #98:

Agree we want football players, but the guys that have the ability to see the bigger picture in life, help others, are the kind of players that add to team chemistry. Any sports movie where the team wins - you know this is a real thing.

Would love to see Benson as a Bill - different style to James Cook, but they'd have to pick him at 60 to get him, right? Wish we had more top 100 picks

It may be mentioned elsewhere - but Beane also talked about when guys get thrown the ball they need to catch it. A guy like Ladd McConkey would be someone who could be had in 2nd and grab quite a few passes. Flame away...

WOW! So detailed it was like I was reading the recap on NFL Network! I respect your opinion and draft acumen for spotting talent - aware it may not happen like this - but could see it, hoping not NE's 3rd pick though lol

Thoughtful replies by Dion. Glad he took the opportunity to give props to Josh. Diggs used to do that in every interview, but hadn't heard it as much end of last season.

You could be right, but many coaches think they have what it takes to make the lightbulb go if in their system. Have to hope so, as it will improve the asset we receive.

My son was a big Aaron Williams fan, so I surprised him with an autographed helmet purchased at a charity event. It was awful to see his NFL career cut short after he was cheap shot blocked by jarvis landry - he had many more years until that sob took it away from him.

My sweet Lord Mm, my Lord Mm, my Lord I really want to know you Really want to go with you Really want to show you, Lord That it won't take long, my Lord ( Good song for Lent - BTW - Do you know how you're getting older? When your wife gives up sex for Lent and you don't find out until Easter) 😁

My support group (my family lol) expected me to take the loss worse than it has. I am disappointed in the loss, but very grateful for the 2nd half of the season (especially when we turned it on), and optimistic for the future.

Interesting...No question they made their impact on the outcome of this pinitol game

Just posted this in another thread after listening to Locked on Bills learning Pats defense doesn't give up a lot of yards, but Buffalo is great at home, except when they had 12 men on the field. Unfortunately i can see the path where pats could win but more likely see where Buffalo should prevail the winner in a closer game than most expect - guessing Buffalo 24-NEP 20. Pats secondary is a little banged up so time for Josh to take the short open man/men where both TEs can have a busy day. Will it be Belichick's last game as visiting NE Coach?

I am almost 60 and that 12/31/99 night - We hosted a party on New Years Eve and all were talking about the possibilities of Y2K issues ... About a minute after the ball dropped and glasses clinked/hugs shared...i had snuck into the basement and then turned off the main power to make the house go dark like we heard could happen - i heard a few screams upstairs then turned it back on again. It was a funny thing when they learned it was me but re-setting all the clocks was the penalty for doing it. Fortunately - it was only adding a couple minutes to the flashing 12:00 on all digital clocks. Grateful it was not the doomsday that was predicted by some loud uninformed sources

Charlotte as suburb of Rochester or North Carolina? Kids coming in from Buffalo (to Rochester) to dine and watch the game together. We do the Omaha Steaks filets and appetizers this time of year. Work had sent us a package one year and we have made it a small tradition ever since.

It became Bigger than Sports. Emotional to see when Damar and the crew were on The ESPYS, too.

Some of Dion Dawkins restructure $ is going to be to extend DaQuan Steven Jones so he is part of out future base defense. Doesn't get me as excited as a shiny new toy, but they know the value he brings.
