No other choice but these fellas for the all ‘draught’ team.

I expect Bishop and Coleman to step it up to the next level.
Age and injury may show Milano to have had his best years behind him. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him used in more of a rotational role to preserve him into the playoffs (hopefully).-

That’s a lovely anecdote: Put a lump in my throat. But sadly, we’ll never know what we could’ve had if they picked Josh Rosen. 😃

Always look forward to football season with my Bills. Can't say I've ever had a year in which apathy set it.
May be different for me than some others. I never dedicate my free relaxation time to vegging out on the sofa with college ball, baseball, basketball, or hockey, so Bills' football is my guilty pleasure every fall.
When I was younger I enjoyed basketball and hockey, but I just can't go halfway into it. It's all or nothing, so I don't bother at all.
To me it's like a Netflix episodic series. You're either going to be committed to it 100% or eschew it altogether. No point is just watching 2 0r 3.
Baseball? When we were kids, everyone watched the world series. There used to be afternoon world series games that we'd catch when we came home from school. My hometown Braves won the world series a couple of years ago. I couldn't tell you a single player on that team. That's how much I GAF.
So, the short answer for me is that Bills' football season is for me like Christmas for kids. Always involved every year.

I'm curious as to how the teams know if you're selling.
The last time I attended a game, printed tickets were still being issued, so I'm not familiar with some of the technological changes and protocol since then.
Do the teams have some level of oversight with digital tickets when they're transferred to another party?

Wide Receiver Donald Jones.
What I remember: Nothing. Not a thing.
When he came on WGR radio program 'One Bills Live' and was described as a former Bill wide receiver, I had absolutely no recollection of him. And I have a pretty good memory. I had the NFL Sunday Ticket through all those years, so I know I saw every game. Somehow, even after having caught 82 passes, he never made a dent in my Bills' memories. Maybe the name was too common. 🤔
Undrafted 2010. With Bills through 2012, then released. Signed by Pats in 2013. Got cut in training camp. Retired.

Read the 40 posts after that - you’re rehashing an old argument that was thoroughly coveted.
I obviously didn’t read the whole thread. I’m only concerned with responses to my posts. 🙃

No it's not.
An investment implies the earning of profit.Only if you’re strictly measuring in financial return. A return on investment can also be measured in utility, value, and personal enjoyment.
To use a real property appraisal analogy, if you install an in ground pool in your backyard, is that an investment? Probably not unless there’s mass neighborhood conformity.
BUT, it is an investment in terms of your family’s use, enjoyment; and memories being created.
Same principle for ‘investing’ in PSls and season tickets. There’s a return from the enjoyment.-

I’ll be in Bflo for the first time in six years on that date. If I had young kids to take it might be worthwhile, but not that excited about any scheduled event. Probably spend most of my time chowing down on the local foods I’ve been missing, and the rest of the time throwing up, since I’m not used to eating like that.

A couple things I learned that I hadn't known:
Shirley Temple is actually on the cover in three different places.
On the same day JFK was assassinated, Aldous Huxley also died and the Beatles released With the Beatles.
Trivia that’ll never come up on trivia night;
The album cover photo for With The Beatles was taken on my birthday, as was the Hey Jude LP cover. 🙃

You’re mistaken if you expect more than a handful of seniors to get the reference.
BTW- see if you can spot him on the Sgt Pepper album cover 😉 -
So sad. How will he take care of his fambly?

Looking at head-to-head, McDermott has done well against the coaches on that list. A couple of near misses (Eagles, Broncos) thanks to FGs.
But beyond that, lists and rankings are subjective.
They're typically nothing more than a means for lazy content providers to publish something to stir up debate and get clicks when they've got nothing to write about.

Without reading through the 4 pages of this thread, has anyone yet asked/answered the question:
What is McDermott's head-to-head record against the more highly-rated coaches?

Excited to see the Bills play live, here in Atlanta, and eager to watch as Bills Mafia takes over the city and the stadium.
Barring injury (to me or him), it will be my first opportunity to watch Josh in-person.
side note:
For many years I never missed at least one game each season. Even living in Atlanta I had Bills season tickets for a couple of seasons during the Super Bowl years.
This it the longest period (since 2008) in my life I've gone without seeing them play. I may try to get up to Highmark one last time before it's over.
Go Bills!

Cautiously optimistic about an improved and fortified defensive line.
There are a lot of 'ifs' that go into the equation.
'If' the 2nd & 3rd year youngsters (Carter, Soloman), the new recruits (Sanders, Jackson, Walker), the 'suspendees', (Ogunjobi & Hoecht), and vets (Epenesa, Rousseau, Oliver) kick it up a notch to make an impact, I'm excited for what could be a defense that will be a compliment to the Josh Allen-led offense.
IF the D-line can become something close to an elite NFL unit, the LBs and DBs will look that much better.
late breaking edit: I didn’t even include Bosa-maybe the biggest ‘if’ of all. Realistically, I’m not counting on much from him. If he contributes anything, for me, it will just be a bonus.

I get that this was posted with tongue in cheek, but a reminder that before Norwood was targeted as the bad guy in Super Bowl XXV (he wasn't)*, he had been a dependable pro bowl kicker.
Cousineau never amounted to much in the NFL after a stint in Canada, but the rights the Bills held to him were subsequently packaged to acquire the 1983 first round draft pick that became Jim Kelly.
* Norwood's missed kick is too often given as the reason for the Bills' loss to the Giants. It's not the reason, just the most memorable moment.
The reality is that Parcells and Belichick outsmarted the Bills, letting the Kelly offense get cold while the Giants slowing controlled the ball after halftime. The Bills defense missed about 7 tackles on Mark Ingram on a 3rd and 11, keeping the Giant's drive alive to score. That was a bigger factor in the outcome.
On the other side, when Belichick deployed 7 DBs to counter the no-huddle, the Bills should have run Thurman down their throats all game long. Time of possession was a key.

Guess you’re too young to remember 1st rounders Perry Tuttle, Booker Moore, and Tony Hunter.

Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
As 'quickly' as projects get studied, designed, funded, and built in WNY, they should probably start planning now for the new stadium to go on the site of the current Rich/Ralph/Highmark stadium. Should be just about ready in 30 years.
