  2. Hell I’d like a copy and I was there for the whole thing. 95% of the time it’s a great place to go. Karaoke night on Saturday’s is a riot, and I’ll stop down for a few very couple weeks. I have avoided the weirdness for the most part. I did technically get into a fight with a drunk Cowboys fan who popped one too many pills a few years back. It’s a long story, but let’s just say it he was literally trying his best to fight someone, took a swing ant me, and later came to regret his decision. Still would recommend 😂
  3. Hard agree. You literally never know what crowd will be there. Almost always drama free but when things do get messy they get very entertaining. I once saw a (female) bartender fight her own boyfriend for being a dick and trying to instigate a fight with another patron a few years back. She then took her shirt off and fought 2 of his buddies who were running their mouths to her. This spilled outside and she legit kicked their asses, wearing sweatpants and a bra, in mid-November upstate NY. It was glorious. …awesome burgers too.
  4. Sadly I don’t know the best option available. Maybe pick up NFL+ for a month to watch Bills games without issue? If you want to go to a location to watch it I know Beer Tree will definitely have it on at the Factory location. Belmar might have it on as well. Both are Bills Backers locations around town. If you’re from the area you likely know the crowd each location attracts so factor that in.
  5. Updated with actual results through week 17: Coleman: 27 Catches, 525 yards, 4 TDs (12 games) - way over on catches, yardage was lower, TD’s close. Yardage and TD’s likely more accurate if he didn’t miss time Samuel: 24 Catches, 201 yards, 1 TD (13 games) - lol. Kincaid: 44 catches, 448 yards, 2 TDs (13 games) - I stand by my numbers if he had stayed healthy Shakir: 76 catches, 821 yards, 4 TDs (15 games) - Dude is a beast. Got the TDs, way under on catches and yards. I thought Samuel would eat into his totals more than anyone else. He should be re-signed sooner rather than later: he’s prime Cole Beasley with no drama Knox: 22 catches, 311 yards, 1 TD (16 games) - Kincaid really solidified his hold on the TE position, so Knox has had fewer opportunities this season. I thought he’d be a little more incorporated into the gameplans but the coaches know better than I do. Cook: 32 catches, 258 yards, 2 TDs (15 games) - I was reasonably close here: the yardage was lower but the catches and TD’s are right where I expected. I knew Davis would eat into his catches just based on skillsets. Davis: 15 catches, 188 yards, 2 TDs (16 games) - probably my most accurate estimate overall. He’s a fantastic asset to the team and in hindsight I am very glad we got him. I don’t think he could “replace” Cook since their skills are not the same, but I think next year he will see more action for sure. Hollins: 28 catches, 353 yards, 5 TDs (16 games) - Boy was I wrong. 20 more catches, 2x the yards, 5x the TDs. He really stepped up and has been a welcome addition this season. Now, I made my predictions before roster cuts had been made, so I thought he’d be the odd man out, but with MVS and Claypool not sticking he was the benefactor in a massive way. He has great blocking skills, can make catches when his number is called, and costs about 8x less than Gabe Davis did. Slam dunk signing, and helps forget the stink of the Samuel signing. Josh numbers (16 games): Passing yardage: 3,731 Rushing Yardage: 531 Total Yardage: 4,262 Total Passing TDs: 28 His passing TD’s are just about the same as they were last year, but pass yards are down. That is to be expected with James Cook turning a corner with his rushing abilities. Josh’s rush yards and TD’s are very close as well this season to where they were last year. I should have assumed Josh would throw less with a more balanced offense, but I thought for sure he would be slinging it way more often. His INT numbers are incredibly low this season, proving that he (somehow) can be even better than we thought. He’s a freak, and hopefully a future MVP as well. All in all, I did ok. I was surprised how many dudes missed a few games here and there looking back, but everyone seemed to cover for each other very well most games. removed the following due to IR/releases: Claypool: 33 catches, 303 yards, 3 TDs - (had 0, was placed on IR at season start) MVS: 24 catches, 219 yards, 2 TDs - (2 catches, 26 yards, 0 TDs. Released after getting Amari Cooper, who has 20 catches, 297 yards, 2 TDS)
  6. This friggin game… I rode on a party bus for 3 1/2 hours each way, split with a 50/50 mix of Bills and Giants fans who I had known for years (maybe 16 of us total). This was going to be my first game I had ever been to in person. On top of that, my buddy had a little sister who he was trying to get to date me at the time, and she was coming with us so I was looking VERY forward to the trip. Little did I know he had been drinking excessively the night before. I should also add I was 21, and my group of degenerates decided we were gonna take shots at 6am to really kick things off. We knew we were going to tailgate hard, but figured we would just get after it. We start boozing, and 45 mins into the trip my buddy gets off the bus to puke, says he can’t go any further and is gonna get a ride back. His sister leaves with him. Bummer. We get to the Ralph and I remember it was cloudy but actually not as cold as I expected (lol). I was in a jersey and hoodie and was comfortable enough… or intoxicated enough. The thing about me is that I knew how to pace myself, whereas not all of my friends did. We were getting after it, having a great time, and then the parade of tragedy continued on… Another friend of mine got so drunk that he couldn’t even stand up straight while he was at the gate. Do you know how drunk you have to be for security to not let you into a game in 2007? I do, because my friend was not even able to get inside the stadium. We walked him back to the bus and he slept it off the entire rest of the day. We get in and I remember how cool it was to be at the Ralph for the first time. I kept thinking “it’s way too weird for it to be almost Christmas and not having any bad weather. We go get a touchdown- woohoo! I didn’t expect us to be able to get after it right away. Then touchdown #2 comes. 14-0 first quarter… then the clouds go black. I legit said “I knew this was too good to be true…” Then the rain starts falling, but not straight down- it was at like a 45* angle, stabbing us in the face. Then the giants go on a tear to get to 14-17 by halftime. Every inch of my body is soaked, we are now getting curb stomped, and then the snow starts to fall. i have become a human Popsicle. 2 more of my friends left, apparently to hook up on the bus while the other guy was passed out drunk. Had my day gone better maybe that could have been me, but alas, life is unfair. That girl scored more in the second half than the Bills did - it was 21-31 and the Bills throw a pick-6 to seal their fate. Giants survive and go to the playoffs. Not sure how that ended for them… TLDR; I was soaking wet, then frozen, watched the Bills do Billsy things to lose, and had to ride home for 3 1/2 hours listening to drunk Giants fans dunk on me.
  7. I wanted to bang the table but it didn’t give consent…
  8. Gabe Davis 2023: 45/81 (56%), 746 yards, 7TDs Gabe was our #2 WR behind Diggs New contract is 3yr, $39m ($13m/yr) Mack Hollins 2024: 24/41 (59%), 295 yards, 5TDs Mack is our WR 4 behind Cooper, Coleman, and Shakir Current contract is 1yr, $2.3m So, we saved $11m, may still end up with 6-7 TDs by the end of the year, is a major contributor on special teams, as good/better blocker than Gabe was, and did this while seeing significantly less playtime than Gabe did. Mack has been, at highest, WR3 on the depth chart depending on injuries through the season. Sign me up for bringing him back for another 2 years, even if his price goes up a little bit.
  9. McD probably mad he couldn’t challenge to help his record lol
  10. If Keon was faster that would be a TD 🤫
  11. wow… what a damn throw
  12. Yeah he’s getting a game ball today. I’m glad we kept him
  13. Woof, that was a bit egregious
  14. that’s what I get for posting while at work 😂
  15. I have a general rule that I, being the hater that I am, don’t want a team that hasn’t won already winning a Super Bowl before us… the lone exception to that is the Lions. I think their true fans have waited a long time for a team worth cheering for, and the organization seems to be made up of a good group of players and coaches. The one thing I don’t like about the Lions is that Tre White and Vin Miller both got hurt on that turf. Its Bills vs Everyone to me, but I respect the Lions and hope their team sees continued success as long as they aren’t lined up across from us.
  16. Played like the Bengals. Monstrous offense, zero D
  17. I’m fine keeping them out another week. I’d like them against Detroit but honestly I’m fine giving them as long as they need. The reps would be nice (especially for Coleman) but I’d rather have our weapons ready for playoff football
  18. Josh Allen post-game speech: “C’MON BOYS, WE CAN ALL GET 2 SETS OF RINS THIS SEASON!!”
  19. The big thing here is we have an experienced player at one of our weaker positions ready and available to contribute on and off the field if needed. Even if Rapp and Hamlin are playing well all it takes is one play to lose someone for a few games or longer- Hyde knows everything there is to know about this defense and is still capable of playing at a professional level. For me, I am most excited for what Hyde can do in terms of helping Bishop develop. Cole couldn’t ask for a better teacher to help him learn the position on this defense better, and if the Bills manage to pull this off and get the job done in February I can think of few players who I would like more to get a ring. Hyde was among the first signings we made as we began to turn the franchise around, and if he can still go he deserves to be part of this team.
  20. Excited? Listen to it again, it sounds like he was annoyed he was going to have to praise a QB that doesn’t wear #15 for doing something good. If he had any enthusiasm in his commentary i might think differently. Didn’t realize my comment was going to upset someone so much. My bad Mr. Collinsworth, I didn’t mean to hurt your fragile ego.
  21. Watching the TD lateral again and you can hear him in the background going “No, no, noooo!” What a doofus
  22. You could make an entire thread of bad Collinsworth quotes. he even mentioned his man crush Mahomes after that ridiculous throw/lateral insanity. Can’t go 1 night without him slobbering all over him
  23. How many times, Booker T?
