Billsatlastin2018

Everyone should get it, as it’s the only game in the country at that time. However, for the Cheatriots, that was special pay and as we were going out to a Sports bar to see it, we had to find one that had paid the freight! ?

NO shite! The vast majority of these guys haven’t made a bet higher than two decimals to the left!

I’m there now. I’ll take his pic when he “does”! ???

The Dukester is THE big target for Allen! He’s not what we need in a TE, but he’s what we’ve got now and it would be foolish not to play him with the Smurfs!

Cooper Hooper AJ Green Size matters!

It’s fair to say that most Bills fans have close to zero confidence in Daboll’s game plans leading us to victory. Fortunately, the confidence level is higher about Allen. Unfortunately, he can’t... yet...ignore Daboll’s idiocy!

I kept a record on an older IPad for the Bills record v.s. Playoff teams of the same year. This entire Millennium, they were less than 20%. On the Road? Worse- 10%!

??? Put down the Pabst Blue Ribbon! Geez Louise, did you survive Grade 5 Arithmetic? = does not mean > than. Not on this planet... ever.

I stopped watching exhibition games a decade ago!

1) Daboll is horribly insipid. 2) Some sub standard WRs & TEs have trouble catching the ball 3) The QB hasn’t ONCE dropped over the shoulder balls, on a dime, to his Receivers, like Joe Burrow did 5 x in one HALF yesterday! Simply, not very good.

The ONLY criteria... 6-4 +!

Uhhhh... this was the # FOUR team in the country- not Palooka State. That kid Burrows (surely the #1 pick now) was dropping over the shoulder dimes again and again and again! It was Rogers or Brees like! We can only wish Allen could do that once! And yeah... his WRs were catching them! ? It was the most jaw dropping performance v.s. a top ranked opponent I’ve ever seen!

Of course! It’s what I did & everyone should pre Season. I saw stiffs... a lot of them and figured 10-6 would be about right. That doesn’t guarantee a Playoff bid, but likely. Next year? Much more difficult- getting the AFC & NFC-W + AFC-S top 2. So, if the Bills are gonna make the Playoffs again, they need to be better- again!

Believe it’s impatience & I be one of them! We’d all like to get aboard the Glory Years freight train, once again!

Nope! Rather it is, what virtually the ENTIRE FREAKING MILLENNIUM HAS BEEN- a dumpster fire if epic proportions! People are looking for the bad things to happen, because there has been NO shortage of that! Finally, we have made it through an entire, decent Season, where there have been multiple pluses, especially the sophomore QB ticking up! Fans can look forward- finally!

Great, Super Bowl caliber story! Here’s mine. My group and I acquired 8 Season Tix in the upper bowl, in 1989- so we were shortly rewarded. Being new to the Season Tix deal, when asked by a partner about contributing the special, additional levee to the SB tix option- I whiffed. ? Hey... Bills in the Super Bowl? That can’t happen. So difficult. As you must know, the Lottery was based on a 50% max. Yep, we won the 4 tickets. Attended the Raiders dismantling the day before the day before and then, was sitting in my cups, on Monday at work. Steaming, that I was gonna miss the first ever, SB with the Bills. Phoned one of the winning Tick holders, who suggested...” why don’t you come anyway?” So, no flight, no accommodation, no rental car, no SB ticket... on Tuesday I did just that. My buddies were in Ft. Myers (no flights available), so into Lauderdale I went on the Wednesday. Boom... across Alligator Alley to meet up. But, NO! This was before Cells & I-Net and I didn’t have the address down properly. So, spent the next day on the Beach, shooting the breeze with Snowbirds! ?? Hey, it is Florida and it was January! That night, I thought I remembered some of the other guys were arriving at night in Lauderdale. After dinner at Hooters, back in the car... boom across AA again, where I arrived in perfect timing to meet them all, sunburned as I was. Followed by 2 more memorable days, playing football on the Beach at a Condo they’d rented and heading out to the racetrack and various bars! Still no ticket, I had my wife link up with her Manhattan Lawyer cuz, his son being a ticket broker and both Giant fans. Sunday morning at 6:00a.m. ,in the dark, off went our wee caravan again... for 4+ hours to Tampa. Yep... we were flying. Arrived about noon on SB day, to my wife’s cuz hotel and finally met up with his son. Acquired this precious ticket...for $500! Aaaand... like the crazed fan I was, bet $1000 on the Bills -7.5, with my cuz! ? All 8 of us, partied all day in a Tampa supermarket parking lot and walked about a 1/2 mile to the Stadium. I was so awestruck by my first SB, didn’t have ONE drink during the entire game. Whitney Houston gave her memorable SB SSB,the flypast and then that memorable game. Except for the finale. ( I had a prior bet in Vegas @3-1 on $100, if Norwood simply hoofed it through! Most peeps blame Norwood for the win, but my posse & I criticize Reed, who became invisible for 2 Quarters and dropped critical passes that could have extended the K Gun into TDs and crushed the Giants! The D would have rested and also, if Bruuuuce could have ripped the ball away from Hostetler for a TD and not Safety, that was +12 and that game was over! No way, Hostetler passes the Giants to behind 2 scores. Ah well.

Funny. Everyone knew that, even the Announcers before the kick, yet Jimbo did not lead that last exciting charge up the field, just prior to the 2 minute Warning, with THAT same knowledge and urgency! All 75,000 were on their feet watching the entire play sequence, I can assure you! I know I was.

Standing, like everyone else, in front of my seat on the 5 yard line, watching the kick go up and shifting my gaze to the Jumbotron to watch it miss! ??

'The best team in football' played ONE less game, the vast majority of those years! BIG issue.

You understand what the word 'CLINCH means, right?

It is precisely because you have #5 locked up, that you do! The Bills need to play 3 games to advance to the SB. #1 & 2 don’t! Only fools play 4 at this time of year, to gain absolutely nada!

In Order: 1) The MVP QB.... by far... Down... Down... Down... 2) Josh Allen... by a decent margin. Needs to overcome Inaccuracy, a sub standard OC & Smurfs. BIG upside. 3) Baker Mayfield. Too small, rattled, unable to make big plays... He ain’t Drew Brees by a Canton shot! 4) Sam Darnold. Incomplete due to illness. Terrible team, missing all manner of key components, especially in the Mgt. class. 5) Josh Rosen. WHO TH is this dude? 6) Mason Rudolph? Backup to the Quacker? ??? Puuuulease.

What about @Shaw66? He’s younger than me, approaching 70, but he knows a lot of shite about the Bills!

Must be Lombardi then. Just listened again, as I did yesterday and stopped the tape to go back to hear the same thing. It’s at the 9 minute mark. 4/44 + Patriots game, which I give him 2/2. The Stats and my memory don’t recall another +30 yarder! But Lombardi is high on the Accuracy, as the sole thing keeping the Bills from getting better. Don’t get me wrong. I would lump Daboll’s poor play calls in many games + the lack of, at least ONE VERY GOOD 6-4 WR/TE to catch those high balls, along with the inaccuracy. Resolve all 3 and we have a winner!

From Mike Lombardi in his Podcast yesterday. You can find it here- GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi and Adnan Virk Podcast Online At PodParadise.com. Pretty sure, I quoted accurately. If you’ve never heard of him, Lombardi has written an award winning book- Gridiron Genius, worked for Al Davis, Bill Walsh and was GM of the Cleveland Clowns, as well as being friends with Bellicheat. Every football fan should read his book for the lessons of success, which McDermott & Beane are using. He is both highly opinionated and very entertaining and has a 44-23-2 record ATS picking NFL- not outstanding, but excellent for sure! He likes Allen and outlines his strengths, but doubts that he will lead the Bills to the Promised Land, because of of his Accuracy issues.
