So according to this, Bills fans should be like...2nd place on lockdown

So if it happens during Week 3 of the regular season that’s somehow better? SMH. If anything, you almost want the inevitable injury bug earlier than later so that most of these guys will be ready to go by TC or preseason at latest. There’s never a “good” time though obviously.

Wish him nothing but the best, except when playing the Bills, and also, can we basically just give the Raiders the “Hard Knocks” gig now?? I mean, how many more storylines on a platter do we need exactly?

^^^^Post of the day! It's almost like you wrote his presser notes for him or something...are you really an unpaid intern at OBD??

Well said—no do-overs in football playoffs, one and done. Kinda wish it was more like the other leagues in that regard of having a series, because you can’t tell me the Bills would’ve dropped an entire series to the Giants in 90, for instance. RIP Buckner.

Did you forget about the sky high electric bills for the humming AC, OP? Not to pile on or anything...

Never saw the yellow pollen blankets in Pa growing up, like what appears down here in the South annually and covers everything daily in the Spring no matter how often you clean it off. Not coincidentally, experienced allergies for the first time after moving here, just one of those things to get used to. I think there’s something to the notion of eating local honey though, to help acclimatize your system—local farmers’ markets are a great source for that, fwiw.

...meanwhile, somewhere in the mountainous foothills, Flacco was heard chuckling into his bowl of Wheaties as he put down his phone and started reviewing his new playbook notes...

So how’s the weather there Ice? Been broiling this week in the A. Ready for Fall already.

Great post OP; when you’ve been around long enough to have seen a lot of good days/teams in the SB run, only to fall into the desert wandering of “heroic marches” to 7-9 as Sully was fond of characterizing for example, the Jauron years, you develop a feel for what’s a BS ride versus a solid foundation—I can honestly say my optimism has never been higher than Kelly’s era. There’s something about this team, particularly Josh Allen, that just feels refreshing and real and on the verge of greatness—it’s just different than what it’s been for a long time, and that’s a really cool good thing. NFL Postseason 2019. So why not us, why not now?

RIP; end of an era, all the best to his family.

Absolutely. That’s also how the Giants took care of Brady in his SB losses—constant pressure collapsing the middle of the pocket, throwing him off his timing, making him hear footsteps all day, etc. conversely give Brady time, and he’ll dissect your coverages no matter who you have at corner.

Lol, so’s mine. Still need to improve bathing wear, but the high speed railroad thing they’ve definitely got down however.

Ditto. For a bigger guy like me who’s trying to stretch out every last calorie, I’ll leave the outer crust be for the sake of another bite of all the fixin’s instead—great, now I’m starving for some pizza...btw, in my single days a slice or 3 of cold pizza was a heck of a breakfast after a bender, but I digress I had such high hopes for the 1st deep dish Chicago pizza I ever tried in Chicago, and was sorely disappointed...a flim flam hot mess (almost watery red sauce marinating a gooey doughy Mt. Vesuvius) that I don’t care to repeat—yes I will join you ol dirty in judging away as to that “pizza” atrocity.

I get where you're coming from, but have to respectfully disagree with you, also for personal reasons, and leave it at that. Now Gunner, who ya got at #25 in the draft next year (I figure Beane will trade up from #32 following our SB win)?

Was it becoming too obvious that all of the recent articles on the ESPN Bills page were pool reports discussing mostly other teams/players?

Topic/Post of the day OP. Thanks for sharing, and much love to the Kelly family for all they've been through to get to this point!

^^^^^^This. Exactly right. Will never forget how he shouldered all of the slings and arrows sent his way after being trotted out to take 100% of the fall each time the Bills blew up without making any excuses--while the rest of the horrendously awful supporting cast slunk away like the Colts moving out of Baltimore on a weekly basis. NP should always get credit for that, if nothing else. I'm just happy that Allen seems to have much of the same kind of straight up great character, to go along with his franchise type tools/ability on the field.

I'll DVR it first and check back in here for reviews to see if it's worth the watch .

Because he shows something (in practice, meeting rooms, whatever) that leads whichever coach to think that there's something still untapped there, that they haven't found the key on gamedays for yet, but again, he is showing them something. No NFL coach who wants to keep their job, will give him a chance at the expense of some other more deserving scrub, if they didn't see something that makes them feel like they lose nothing to give him another chance. Like you said, it's a production business. Fear not! If he continues to fail on the gridiron, he will run out of chances soon enough, Gruden or not. There's no rule that I'm aware of, that says every backup QB wannabe gets the same # of chances, EJ included. Oh, and FWIW, EJ was a 1st round draft pick. NP was a 5th, so the level of expectation as to what they need to get back for that investment is markedly different. NP's been crapped on enough. Let it play out and let's move on with talking about the next more important topic, such as who you've got in your too-soon mock draft going #42 in next year's draft?

Ditto. There’s some part of my brain that still refuses to accept he’s a completely lost NFL cause—maybe because he’s so likeable as a person, and I distinctly remember him getting behind the podium to answer every single iteration on a theme of ridiculous questions from the media time after time following horrible losses, when others couldn’t duck out fast enough without answering a single question—like Shady who was AWOL for questioning for basically half the season—remember that?? if Chucky can make anything work out of NP, I’ll take back everything I ever said about him since he started tanking the Raiders and give him mad props instead

According to Murph just now, Kelso is leaving to dive deeper into the NASCAR racing team he’s affiliated with?

Hey, at least Milano is back this week from his broken leg though! https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeBuscaglia/status/1130855286669860864

Joe B on twitter right now is saying yes, same foot https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeBuscaglia/status/1130855580518641664
