Not that all breaks are the same but I broke my fibula, surgery wasn’t needed, and I was walking again in the normal 6 weeks. I’m also not an athlete so I guess I just needed to walk, not run, hit, etc. Regardless, since Milano needed surgery, clearly his was worse. I hope he’s back for TC.

I am sure

Saturday games are 4:00 (4:30?) and late game at 8 sunday is standard 1:00 and 4:05 start time

I had a standard crowbar. Unfortunately, it’s a drainage tank that was blocked, and I was by myself. Instead of hooking one end of the manhole cover and trying to pull it up, I put the crowbar in, raised it up enough to get my fingers in (done that many times before), and as soon as I went to lift up, the crowbar shifted and the cover came slamming down on my fingers. It was a pain I can’t even describe.

I actually wrote about that happening to me earlier in this thread. Happened in September. Let me just say I feel awful for your coworker because that is brutal. Didn’t rip off any part of my finger, but it ripped the skin, requiring stitches on both sides of my middle finger and one side of my index finger. Fingernails fell off about a month ago (nearly 1.5 months after injury). They are slowly coming back. I think my nail bed is somewhat damaged, but it’s nothing I would consider fixing unless it somehow causes pain later.

Show growth. I’m not going to put a number on here like some have, some of which are great numbers for vets to achieve in 6 games, but just look like he belongs. Show signs. He can have down moments, but show flashes that we can point to that would suggest he can be a good/great one

Not bad. I don’t know if there is any alternative to 95 to get to Richmond from there (97 in Baltimore to 50/301 to Richmond?) but I will say whenever I go to buffalo, I completely avoid 95 north to 270 and just take 17 to 66 to 81, hit some backroads for a bit till I get to Breezewood PA. 95 is such a joke down here and I don’t know if they will ever be able to fix it. A 60 mile drive can take 1.5 hours one day, then 3 hours the next. I’ve used navigation coming home just to get a rough estimate on time, and I’ll just watch that estimated time of arrival push back further and further. I’ll start with an ETA of 4:00, but won’t get home till 6:00.

It is typically about 3:30 hours to Philly, from exit 130 (Fredericksburg), which is an hour north of Richmond, when leaving during a random time, like at night. For you to do that on a Sunday is amazing. Typically, it comes to a stop around mile marker 118 to 124 or so going north on Sunday, and 118 to 130 (12 miles) can take over an hour. Couple that with thanksgiving this week and you hit the jackpot somehow.

For guys like Pryor, it’s probably a little easier when you’ve made a few million, assuming you’re smart with your money. For the bubble players in training camp, it’s gotta be much harder, but at the same time, they probably expect it’s a real possibility

The rams are probably best, but I think losing to NO might essentially be the killer to their SB hopes. It’ll be tough if they have to go to NO in the playoffs

I live close to DC. Doesn’t matter what lane you’re in, it isn’t moving anyways!

Did you know........ if a team did a complete 360 from last year, they would be the same? So so we are going back to the playoffs everyone!!!! Get ready. It starts Sunday!

He’s definitely one of my favorite Bills players. Probably him and Milano.

Yeah, your name is awful. Sorry. I don’t know what it is about it, but it drives me crazy.

Can we fire them just so I don’t have to see/hear “McBeane” anymore? I don’t know why but I can’t stand that nickname.

I agree that as time goes by and the yearly recurring dismal seasons pass, it gets harder to care. But I guess that’s a good thing because honestly, we fans probably care more about our teams than the players do. I think what finally “clicked” for me was getting so angry at the outcome, then watching the tv coverage show players shaking hands and laughing and joking like what happened was no big deal. If it’s not a big deal to the ones playing, I couldn’t let it be a big deal to someone just watching from home. When we are finally good again, I’ll be excited. But winning it all today will not feel the same as it would have if we win it all in 2005 for example. My priorities just changed. It still matters, and like I said, I schedule my Sundays around football season. But I won’t let the outcome ruin my entire week.

I’m guessing the OP is young. When I went to the Bills/Cowboys MNF game, a Dallas fan came up and hugged me to gloat. I didn’t assault him but I pushed him off me and he fell down the aisle steps. I was 26 back then. Now I’m married, have kids and a career, and couldn’t imagine getting that upset over a game. I love the Bills, schedule my sundays around them, but who could possibly be that upset after a game where the outcome was known prior to kickoff?

I think at the beginning of the broadcast it said he had, or would have with a win, the most wins by any QB since 2001. Not surprising. He has 15. Fitz or Bledsoe are the top two in all likelihood for our own QBs. Each probably won on average 3-4 per year? So they would be in the 12-15 range

It’s probably been said but I’ll consider it a success if I don’t have to see Booger McFarland on that ridiculous crane thing he sits on. I don’t know why that irks me the way it does.

Didn’t he just get fired this year? So he was here when the 2018 roster took shape.

I didn’t read through the whole thread, but to me, this is more of an indictment on Taylor than anyone else. That’s a lot of talent to not do much with.

1: Bills/Redskins SB. I am from, and still live in VA. Everyone is Redskins or Cowboys down here. When we played Washington, everyone was pulling for Washington. So I took the underdog and it stuck. Which leads to #2. 2: What I love most is probably the underdog mentality of the team and fans. Sort of an “us against the world” mentality. We love our team. We love the city (myself included despite never living in buffalo). The constant hope and dreaming of what it would be like to win it all. I often wonder if we win the SB, would my passion diminish a bit, because what else is left? 3: I have a few. Most of the playoff years of the late 80s and 90s was while I was a child to early teen years. This was prior to Sunday Ticket and I was too young to have my dad (redskins fan who can watch on local broadcast anyways) to take me to a bar. So one of my favorite memories was when we went up against the Titans. That obviously ended poorly. Second, landing Bledsoe. I thought we’d have a quality QB for the first part of my adult fan hood. Third, 31-0 against NE. I thought I was about to see a great season with a great team, and I was finally able to start watching every game. Fourth, the 6 game winning streak in 2004. What a comeback to the season, then that went up in flames. Finally, making the playoffs last year and the videos that followed. Never met a single person from the videos and they all felt like family.

I know some people don’t like the morning show on WGR, but Jeremy white said something the first hour that stood out. I don’t recall if this was his thought or if he was repeating somebody else. Maybe not the exact quote, but he said something along the lines of, “if you have the best offense in the league with the worst defense, you’re the chiefs. If you have the best defense in the league with the worst offense, you’re the Bills.” That sums up my answer. Which team would you rather have right now?

I can only imagine how that felt. I think I mentioned earlier in this post that I had my fingers crushed. If I didn’t mention that, it’s up there for pain. A manhole cover came down on my index and middle finger. I don’t know if people are familiar with manhole covers, but this one is a lid for a 1000 gallon storage tank. The cover sits flush against the wall, so when it came down, I’m surprised it didn’t cut my fingers off altogether. It’s about 300-400 pounds. So when it came down, naturally I ripped my fingers out from under it and it ripped the skin on the palm side of each finger, and the top of my middle finger. Both nails are still black but still attached (this was last month). But the pain from the dr sticking the needle in the wound was awful. It felt like the needle was hitting the underside of my fingernail. Awful. So I sympathize with major finger injuries.

I’m not a sign this player or that player who gets released kind of person, but I really wish we would at least make some sort of move to shake things up a bit. I know a #1 or even a #2 type of receiver isn’t really available right now, but nobody will convince me that there’s not at least one guy available who could upgrade the bottom part of the roster at receiver.
