Allen needs to settle in here. Too many bad missed throws so far.

I wanted to go for it too but with the way the offense is playing right now vs. the defense, I don’t blame McDermott for not taking the risk.

All defense so far

Offense looking sloppy.

Ah man, sanders was WIDE open.

Singletary looking good so far.

Ugh, these holds are killing the offense.

Not the best throw by Allen on that one. edit - but that one was excellent!! 😁

Big play Knox!!!

Let’s go offense, get some points!

Yesss

Nice play Rousseau

Come on now defense. Let’s get back to that top 10 form!

Bummer. But I’ll take the 3pts.

Hell yeah, what a start!!

Go Bills!!!!

Neither. I’d much rather eat my calories than drink them! I will drink a glass of regular soda on rare occasion. Not big on the taste of diet. I do have a glass of ginger ale (if you consider that soda) maybe once a week. But I mainly stick to drinking water and lemon water.

So sorry for your loss. My condolences. I hope she gets to see a win today from heaven!

Why is he out? edit: calf injury

https://www.houstontexans.com/video/head-coach-david-culley-monday-press-conference-9-6-2021 Press conference with David Culley. I haven’t really been impressed with this guy as a head coach so far, but time will tell...

Every week. I always try to catch the Monday + Thursday night games and usually end up watching multiple games on Sunday (at least 2 most Sunday’s - the Bills and whatever team plays at night). Sometimes I actually kind of feel like I enjoy watching other teams play more than the Bills because I can sit back and enjoy the game. I’m not all stressed out like I am during Bills games. Since I don’t really care about the outcome (unless it directly impacts us) I can just enjoy watching football. Obviously the Bills are still my favorite team to watch though.

Yeah some of the electronics today are definitely far better. I was mainly talking about home amplifiers/receivers and TVs. Like Sony, their top tier flat screen TVs used to be built extremely well. My top of the line Sony from 2007 honestly still looks better than a lot of new TVs, and it has 1000’s and 1000’s of hours in it. The last really exceptional TV that Sony built was the Sony Z9D master series TV from 2016. But you also paid through the nose for it. $6000 for a 65” TV when it came out! But it might be one of the best TVs ever made. Their new master series TVs aren’t even comparable. But they’re also about 1/2 the price. That seems to be the direction all these Tv manufacturers are moving in. Samsung, for ex, keeps stripping features away from their TVs. Like their top of the line 9 series from last year is more comparable to their 8 series from the year before. Their 8 series was the 7 series a couple years ago, etc etc. You have to buy a Tv 1 tier higher just to get the same features last year’s had, and that’s been a consistent theme for a few years now. and most home theater/stereo amplifiers just aren’t built the same either (unless you want to pay through the nose). I have amps from the 70’s and 80’s that will just absolutely destroy the new amps in sound quality and power delivery. Like for example, I have an old 50 watt per channel Denon that will blow the doors off my new 150 watt per channel denon. So many of the components are cheaply produced, and you can’t really repair individual components like you used to be able to. As you said, stuff is made to be thrown away now.

They definitely don’t build electronics like they used to. Well, some stuff they do if you’re willing to pay like 4x as much. Id still expect a Samsung or Sony tv (or LG OLED) to last more than 3 years though. That definitely seems like a premature failure. What happened? Did the screen fail? Did you try all the different troubleshooting steps (like a forced factory reset)? If the screen still works it may be fixable if you’re willing to open the back of the TV. A lot of times what fails are the motherboards and you can usually find them pretty cheap online. Or the ribbon cables that connect the screen can come detached.

Damn, that sucks. My top of the line Sony just took a crap on me back at the end of June. It was only 13 months old too. 1 month out of warranty. Funny enough, my old Sony from 2007 is still working like a champ. I never had issues with any Sony tv before. I was really shocked. Thankfully, after about a dozen different calls to Sony, a bunch of emails and social media posts I finally got them to replace the TV and I actually ended up with a better TV than I had. So I’m very grateful. I saw your post below about being on disability. Sucks, man. Hope you get well soon! If/when you’re in the market for a new TV, shoot me a message if you want to and I can help you narrow down your choices for a new one. I am really big on home theater & electronics and stay up to date on all the current TVs and audio/video gear. I’m the friend everyone calls when they’re shopping for speakers or TVs (etc) or trying to set up home theater equipment 🤣

You know that nothing you do will have any effect on the outcome of the game right? It doesn’t matter what you do or who you watch with. The Bills will either win or lose regardless. I am not superstitious but I am definitely a nervous wreck during games and it’s actually gotten worse the better the Bills have got (since the outcome of the games matters more). I used to never really get nervous during games because I knew the Bills weren’t super bowl contenders or anything. But last season It’s was getting to the point where I couldn’t even enjoy the game. There were a few times last season where I actually had to change the channel then watch the game on replay. It was getting totally ridiculous. I’d have a nervous stomach ache and everything. I’m really going to work on that this season. One thing I started doing that helps a little is listening to the game on the radio and muting the TV, but this probably only works if you’re in the local market. The radio was just slightly ahead of the TV so I knew the outcome of the play before it happened. It helped me not be so damn nervous for every play. This year I am determined to just enjoy watching the games, or so I keep telling myself... 🤣
