SinceThe70s

Last time I saw Ozzy was the Ultimate Sin tour. If you'd have told me he'd still be on tour (let alone alive) 30+ years later I'd have said you need a check up from the neck up. One cool thing about Ozzy back then was the up and coming guitarists he brought in.

You suck! And I mean that in the kindest way...DeGrom should be pitching Saturday. Seriously, enjoy! My loss, your gain. I should get Thor on Friday. I've been trying to break it to my youngest that I probably won't get in earlier enough to get the Mookie Betts bobble-head. "Wrong Mookie b!tch!" won't work for him yet. Meanwhile @sshat Pats fan compared Betts to Willie Mays today. This will be fun. Probably the reason I haven't been up there since they broke the curse.

Been to Fenway twice, going up to see college friends I haven't seen in ages. One is an insufferable Pats fan. My best man (Jets fan) wanted to kill him a few years back. Last time I was at Fenway was regular season the year they ended up winning the WS for the first time since 1918. Looking in from the CF bleachers Gabe Kapler in RF was wearing 19 and Damon in CF was 18. Insufferable Pat fan actually pointed it out to me as a joke. Ollie is still pitching? I was just telling my kids about him for some reason in the past week or so. He was the balls at first for us and as bad as it gets at the end. I remember a Sunday night game where he dominated the Yankees.

I despise Jim Rome and love the Bills. But that was pretty good. Unfortunately when you're right, you're right.

Going under .500 will make the Cy Young a tough sell even though we all know he deserves it. You know what really has me steamed about this past Sunday? Besides the Bills? When the Mets held Jake out of the game due to the rain forecast it meant that he won't pitch Friday night when I'm at the game in Fenway. Someone remind me again why I love sports, and more to the point the Mets and Bills!

We're on the same page in more ways than not. Where we disagree is whether we "MUST live with the incompetence". I think having a competent backup should have been part of the plan. I think they thought that too but failed miserably with their judgement of Peterman and AJ. It's hindsight but taking a flyer on Teddy Bridgewater might have been a better option.

Reminds me of a line from a comedian years ago that went something like this: My wife is pissed off because we don't have any money and I'm pissed off because we did.

I agree 100% about winning the next game not being important. It's all about Allen and his development. One way or another McBeane will live or die on that battlefield. Unfortunately the repeated confidence they've shown in Peterman makes me question their judgement. What worries me is that Peterman's incompetence will force their hand with Allen too soon. But positive guy hopes that Allen starts Sunday, shows he's ready and we never look back (and that can include not making the playoffs this year).

As always Augie - a breath of fresh air in the midst of a steaming pile. I have no problem with negativity and criticism, but you nailed it wrt the repetitive trolls. OP claims the negativity isn't a knee jerk reaction. Um, sure, this board looked the same before Sunday with rampant, repetitive threads popping up by the minute and the smelly egg we laid on Sunday was just a coincidence. For the record I tend to be a Bills-loving apologist. Not sure if I would've lasted this long otherwise. But Sunday and the pre-season lead up have raised some serious concerns about McBeane. In particular, the handling of the QB situation looks indefensible right now. I had similar concerns after the San Diego debacle last year. But somehow they turned it around and I'll hope for the same in the upcoming weeks. Go Bills!

That was my first thought too. I won't go so far as saying there is nothing wrong with them, but they get at least through this season to prove themselves and unless this season is an abject failure they get next year too. Starting over from scratch every time theirs' a bump in the road (sinkhole in this case) will get us nowhere.

I don't understand why Browns fans would be upset today. At 0-0-1 they are off to their best start since 2004.

Just ask the Hanson brothers: Call the pizza man! https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b510e24d-79e1-45ee-b356-e47ebc084e51

That's what scares me the most as well. The general consensus was Allen would need some time but their backup/transition plan looks pretty bad right now.

Sticking with Peterman and bringing in McCarron as the only alternatives suggests otherwise.

Sometimes I wonder whether the Bills are real life or just a bad dream. It must be real life, I don't curse in my dreams.

Unlike the line from Pulp Fiction that was not a tasty burger

Nice call. I think the character name was Howard. He always played likable guys, probably true to himself. RIP.

The last thing she heard before she was handed the candle was "Meep meep"

A few years ago I watched an 11th/12th grader repeatedly say "what the fudge". Didn't know the kid or parents (who were present) very well and wondered if this was a high school thing. Don't think I've heard it since. I couldn't decide whether it was good that he consciously chose not to curse or just kind of stupid because everyone knew the intent. Not being judgmental, honestly I don't give an eff either way

This is outstanding. A shining example of what makes this place so great. When I came up to Buffalo with the fam last year I combed TBD for advice on a number of threads and it helped out tremendously. Putting it in one place was a great idea. One suggestion I have is to add a section for seat selection pros and cons...sightlines, sitting/standing, sun/shade, the drunk factor. I got a lot of good advice last year and it was a big help.

Me too. Although as the kids get older they hear it from time to time when Mom's not around. And Mom hears it from time to time when the kids aren't around. It's usually for comedic effect. Not sure why, but some things are much funnier to me with a few curses thrown in.

I look forward to the day when I can call a Bills GM a huge disappointment a few years after winning a Super Bowl.

He's not the only GM having a hard time finding a QB as good as he was.

It just got a little better with Frazier's comments today. This is worth watching to the end. https://www.sny.tv/video/2470031483/frazier-explains-his-catch

Always is never right. Never is always wrong.
