[Mike McDaniel Drinking Problem]

I know your stance on it, so not directed at you...  but a bunch of people I knew from meetings back when I was getting my s*** together (coming up on 6 years) used “California sober” as a dig, mostly the old-school crowd.

 

I get why. There’s some risk, especially for people who were totally clean for years and then decide to try green again. That can wake the compulsive stuff back up. But that group is very small.

 

For everyone else-the people who’d never even try getting clean unless they had some kind of release valve, it can really help make transition easier.

 

Same idea as a cheat meal keeping you from bailing on a diet fully and binging for a month lol

 

I’m basically fall into 2nd group.

 

Even before id ever tried quitting seriously I'd figured out if i needed a quiet night, or to not blow my paycheck, If i rolled one up when it started getting dark, it crushed any drive I had to start drinking… there'd even be nights where i tried to change my mind and try to binge drink, and couldn't even get the drinks flowing on purpose.

 

drinking is what fired up my drive to end up in the powder too

 

A comic kinda summed up my experience with drinking and cocaine perfectly with:

“Drinking without smoking is like trying to poop without peeing.”

 

 

wish you the best, i never fell down any of those rabbit holes but it is painfully clear how easily it can happen, i can sense it drinking as a bills fan and my son  had issues.

 

i admire your courage to share it even on an anonymous chat room.

What is California Sober, smoking pot?  I totally can believe that.

I might feel that way if we had won last week. 

True.

 

I thinl last week was much more about the Bills losing than the Dolphins suddenly morphing into the best team in the NFL.  A loss like the first New England game, I dont think they "won" it , more like we lost it.  Sad to say, the common denominator in both cases was the mistakes made by the one and only Josh Allen.

You have been here long enough to realize this is not a shock at all.

I knew we would have trouble getting up for the Dolphins after beating KC. Losing games like this and the Falcons likely means no home playoff games. If we lose to the Pats, then I'll panic but until then I think we can beat anybody.

admire your patience but you might start panicking now. imo the pats are better than us and are not saddled with the mighty Mcdermott process bull sheit? instead they are well coached unlike the bills.  the pats won’t take the bills lightly like the billls took the  dolphins only to be embarrassed.

Hold them out against Miami.

Totally disagree.

 

This is the NFL, on any given Sunday any team can beat any other team.  Certainly if rest them if it makes sense but NOT because you think Miami is a cak walk., sends the entire team the wrong message and sets us up for the feared "trap game".

Barely won might be overdoing it.  And if Preter makes the FG, it’s a no doubter.  
 

But the fact that the Chiefs still had the opportunity to tie it was concerning

I understand feeding Coo,k the ball, especial;y when we have a lead and wanted top run the clock but how many time did we give it t Cook on first down, crashes forward for 1-3 yards and THEN we open up the palybook and pass to get a first down or reasonable distance on thrid.  This was much more evident in Q3-Q4.  Like to see how many runs we ran on 1st down, it was so predciatble.

That’s nothing! During one of the baseball playoff games the announcers told the story of a player who got traded in the middle of a doubleheader…to the team they were playing that day! So all he had to do was walk across the infield to the other dugout for the second game, just a few minutes later. Now that’s just crazy! 

Just last year, a Toronto Blue Jay was traded to the Red Sox, he had bats for both teams in the same day.

Kind of hope they don't make a move on McDaniels this week. That team is a mess and I don't want them getting that little extra interim head coach boost before they plus us next week. 

What is it with him running off the field before the end of the game?  Could you make a more idiotic move than that with a coach most Dolphin fans desperately want fired?

I'll be at the game.  Despite my somewhat hyperbolic post, I think it’s right in line with what almost everyone is seeing and thinking.   I dont expect them to beat the Chiefs.   I hope they do, but hope isnt a plan. 

All valid points.

 

i know ed oliver is s bummer but  look at the positives.

 

1) well rested bills team after an easy game post bye week.

2) home feild

3) kc on a short week, see how many injuries they get tonight it how they perform,

 

Right now i know bills are a slight underdog but i call this game a toss up.  4 weeks ago thr bills were the best team in the afc and Chiefs domination was over.

If a trade for a wideout isnt announced today by 4pm its already too late.    They will not beat the Chiefs with no passing game. 

10 minutes to go and no trade.

 

I guess that means you wont be watching because the Bills "will not beat the Chiefs".

 

There perpetual drama queens here.

I am staying over in East Aurora for the game today.  I was a bit surprised to see so many of the rivalry jerseys while walking around.  I guess the marketing is working?

boston is 10x the disposable net worth of average WNYer,   easy flight and “they” hope yhe have the next tom brady.

 

i still think the whiteout will fail and is almost as embarrassing as those ugly uniforms.  i think bills marketing has way too much hubris, they are jumping thr shark,

[Bills asking fans to wear all white for the Pats game on Sunday]

white out will be a total disaster, terrible ripoff from pain state (after that terrible loss  yesterday.

[Week 5, Cheats v. Bills, PREDICT THE SCORE!]

Two reasons why the bills lose today.

 

1) the god awful “cold zone “ or whatever it is called.  if they lose maybe we catch a break and never see them again.

 

2) the attempt to do a whiteout, a total ripoff of Penn State (or is it pain state after yesterday).  The arrogance of the bills marketing department s thru yhe roof.  a predict a total failure of this attempt,

 

Pats. 32

Bills 30

League rank of 31st , 25th and 30th against run yards, rushing touchdowns and yards per rush attempt are glaring issues that we are winning despite of.  

If the team could improve on those issues we would be a dynasty.  

Equally troubling is that these issues are nothing new......

Good God, 4 games starting with a blowout by Trvis Henry, obviously it is going to skew all the run defensive stats which is all you quote.  Why did you selectively exclude any staets versus the pass or the most important stat, wins/losses?

My take is we’re gonna lose next week. With the current standings, our opponents to date have a combined 3-15 record. Our thrilling opening night comeback vs B’more turns out to be just like the last 3 games. Very flawed teams who woulda/coulda/shoulda won! Ravens are now 1-3 on merit and now Lamar is hobbled. The Pats* are 2-2 and just had a dominating victory over Carolina. Drake Maye is more polished than Josh was in his sophomore season. “HIM” had a TD & over 100 yrds receiving. They already know they’re the only team in the Division who can rival the Bills and we’re not even in October! They annihilated the Panthers as a tune up for Buffalo while showing the League they are legit! They know the chump change we’ve escaped tell the story WE also know. That we have an all-timer at QB, an impressive RB and 51 Jimmy’s and Joe’s who are easily fooled and allow their opponents to gouge them all day, choosing only to defend the deep third. They know we suck at tackling and playing Man in coverage and only Bosa is a threat to disrupt the pass. Yesterday showed more about how bad the Aints are than the perceived good the Bills are. 
Go ahead Sean. Sit good players who CAN go -if needed, again. If Allen was bummed the last time the stadium emptied out in the 4th quarter, he’s in for a shock next week. It’s likely gonna look like the Covid year -imo.

According to sports reference, "HIM" i assume Diggs, has not had a touchdown at all this year.

The good ones are usually around 35 solo for the year, roughly 2 per game. Deone Walker has 6 solo, Daquan has 4. I don’t know Sanders snap count, but I think he’s been on the field as much as those two and is producing far less. 

He is a rookie in a DT rotation so he isnt going to get a lot of solo tackles in his first 4 games.  Picking on that one stat is a bit ridiculous imo.
