For the most part none. I never acquired a taste for coffee, but I never really tried. To be honest, I don’t know if I’ve ever even drank a full cup of coffee total, in my life (and I’m not exactly young...). and the only soda I really drink anymore is Ginger Ale. I used to drink soda as a kid but I don’t really drink it now. Maybe I’ll have a few sips with dinner if I’m out somewhere and that’s the only choice but that’s about it. Caffeine tends to make me feel jittery anyway.

UPL

We finally get to see Tuch’s debut! Krebs and Peterka too! I’ll definitely be watching tonight. Defense is a bit thin with Hagg + Miller out injured and Bryson on the covid list.

Nice! Hopefully it’ll be a Big boost for 2 very important games. I just hope McKenzie’s role doesn’t disappear again.

They are very, very spoiled. It’ll be fun seeing them slowly realize that their dynasty is dead. Did you know the the Patriots have never lost the division 2 years in a row since Bill Belichick was hired in 2000? They won it for the first time in Belichick’s 2nd year, 2001. Lost in 2002. Won it from 2003-2007 lost it in 2008 won it from 2009-2019 lost (to Bills!) in 2020 If the Patriots don’t win it this year, it’ll be the first time ever under belichick that they went 2 years without winning the division.

Yeah I was just thinking of teams that were forced to play without rosters and may miss the playoffs. good point on omicron though. And this is kind of unprecedented times, with the pandemic and all. I guess It’s not like they’re changing the pass interference rules mid season or something. maybe any competitive disadvantage to teams that already dealt with covid is balanced out by the players they could potentially get back sooner now and in the future? I am all in favor of following the science and I’d ideally like to see the quarantine window shortened (especially since it could help the Bills). Im assuming most NFL teams would probably be good with it too. edit - @Hapless Bills Fan this is one of the teams I was thinking of. Raiders fighting for their playoff life and playing colts next.

I’m not really sure that it would be fair to change the “10 day quarantine for unvaccinated” rule right now. We are in week 16 and many teams have already had unvaccinated players miss 10 days. It wouldn’t really be fair to them. Like Indy, for ex. Should they be able to get Wentz back in 5 days instead of 10 even though many other teams already lost guys for 10 days (which may have impacted the outcome of games)? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to get agave Davis back in time for the Atlanta game (assuming he’s asymptomatic by them). But I say, if they’re going to change it maybe the best way to do it would be to wait until the playoffs. Then there’s no competitive advantage/disadvantage since it’s kind of a clean slate for everyone. I guess you could still argue that the 10 day protocol had an impact on playoff seeding so leave it in place. But I think changing it for the playoffs would be fair.

Wasn’t aware of that. Thanks. I wonder if that means there’s a chance Gabe Davis could be back for the Atlanta game (assuming he’s symptom-free in time). That would be a nice boost for the offense!

He’s unvaccinated, so assuming he tested positive he’s out for at least 10 days. Ouch (for Indy anyway...lol). edit - I guess the rules might be changing to 5 days, so we’ll see. He could be back sooner.

Sabres recalled Krebs and Peterka. next few games should be awesome. We get to see Tuch, and now hopefully Krebs + Peterka too (If not next game, soon).

He definitely earned himself a starting role in this offense (again...). I don’t know why they ever took his role (from last season) away from him this year but hopefully they learned that was a mistake. Give me more McKenzie over Sanders please, or even Beasley (this season anyway). If it takes a few more snaps away from him so be it. Mckenzie’s always added a lot to the offense with his speed, and now apparently he catches anything/everything thrown in his general direction too 😂. The Bills offense just seems better when McKenzie has a role. He adds an element that’s kind of missing without him.

Cole who...? McKenzie? 😁

Ugh. Offense needs to bail the defense out and answer back again.

****

Gotta at least hold them to a field goal here. Can’t let them score a TD two possessions in a row.

What a garbage call.

Crap.

Big TD. Excellent job by the offense to answer right back.

Another great catch by McKenzie!

Yeah he’s been up NE’s ass a lot today.

McKenzie showing McDermott why he should have been playing...

Looked like Motor had a big hole to run through for a second there.

Seems to be Grabbing at the same arm that seemed to be bothering him going into half time. Hope he’s ok.

Holy **** what a pass + catch!
