14 base, 4-5 buck tip, all in all still feel like that’s too much $$. Of course, relative to my dear wifey, that’s bargain basement—I prefer not to think about how much hers cost

Sorry, I was already on to next year’s first worthless mock draft! Silly me https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2833601-2020-nfl-mock-draft-matt-millers-way-too-early-predictions

It has been, but will never get old

Conversely, for the seasons that have spectacularly imploded on us, such as Wrecks-in-effect, did you have unpleasant dreams about getting rolled over by, say, the Buccaneers? I will say, that's some pretty entertaining deep REM sleep you've got going on there! How many hours do you catch a night on average? I feel like I'm lucky to collect any more than 5 hours or so/night.

2 historical greats had a premonition that Bills fans eons later would be dealing with bloviating talk show host "experts" today: "Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent." ---Proverbs 17:28 (King Solomon). "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." — Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Cowherd should have more in-studio guests on his show, to help him have to speak less. That is all.

Where does one go about finding that same shirt to buy??

Great post OP. Being a Bills fan is the very definition of loyalty and hope of things yet to come, regardless of whether or not a payoff is ever realized. Man, it makes the good times, few they may have been, that much sweeter as well.

However, could TB12 have still made that throw over this equivalent of a goalie "wall" in front of him?

I hear you, but I feel like New England has shown many times that you can still win it all in today's NFL with a group of good, not necessarily great, supporting casts around a franchise QB. I feel like we're getting plenty solid, now it's time to see how it all gels on the actual field.

Good article over in the news section I wanted to highlight in case you haven't seen it yet, relevant to this thread: https://www.forbes.com/sites/curtisrush/2019/05/01/could-the-buffalo-bills-be-on-the-threshold-of-a-new-golden-age/#17d79c326812 He makes a compelling argument, imho. The question is, will it take 3 years for this era to get really really good like the K-Gun Bills, or can we fast forward in the second year of Allen?

As my readership of actual print has declined, so has my comics intake--we used to get the Sunday paper delivered here, and my wife knew to always pull the comics out for me first. This thread is kinda making me want to pick up the paper again, lol. Anyway, have always loved Garfield, Blondie, and the classics of Calvin/Hobbes, Peanuts. Also, any Prince Valiant fans from back in the day, or Hagar the Horrible?

But...most importantly, can he catch passes the same way as Kyle? https://www.buffalobills.com/video/best-moments-from-kyle-williams-career-finale-week-17

I’m sure not by much!

What a shame. With a great HC type name like Hank, "Hammerin' Hank the Bull"(ough) would've just rolled off the tongue if his teams had been able to steamroll the division in his time...ah well. On to better times my friend.

Definitely right to always point out context Donuts, beyond just the stark numbers. And FWIW, I also did not mean for my list to be exclusive, as in the modern era plenty of additional finalists may be found (Jauron, Fewell, Williams, et. al). But hey, at least we never elevated Rich Kotite to our HC!! The Jets can never live that dude down, can they?

I really, really do not want to dispute that, as I am inclined to agree! However, we have many deserving candidates...Jim Ringo? Kay Stephenson? Hank Bullough? A real Rogue's Gallery of ineptness to choose from. So glad it looks like our trajectory is miles ahead of those clowns now!!

My old hometown (sort of—I grew up north of there in Jim Kelly’s neck of the woods) Depends what you’re in the mood for—to grab some drinks hit up the South Side, Mario’s is a good one; best food is Primanti Brothers (awesome awesome sandwiches); history can be had at Point state park (original British settlement fort there) as well as an authentic WW2 sub moored next to the Carnegie Science Center—very cool all around. If you have time to catch a Pirates game at PNC Park, that’s prob the best park in baseball with awesome views of the city; for best views otherwise, ride the Incline up to an overlook point on Mt. Washington, best city views period. Have a good time!

And those plays can often make all the difference in the game—conversely, our STs that were horrible like last year, can cost dearly. Tasker made game altering plays look routine, and then for his encore act, became a solid receiving option for Kelly. Love that guy’s motor. Hall in my biased book. Thanks for keeping the flame lit, OP!

...I see what you did there! For an out of towner like myself, streaming OBL with Murph and Tasker during the noon hour is a welcome bit of Billsy propaganda in my day, and they do land the most notable guests, unsurprisingly. I know what I'm getting with them, and I'm good with that. As for the rest, I'll occasionally tune them in, but there's only so much Bulldog I can handle before I need to change the channel--and the morning crew in particular is too much hockey at the expense of the Bills, imho.

Such a difference made through the back end of last year and over the course of the offseason with this roster, together with other recent rebuild examples (Rams) has me guzzling the kool aid like I’m about to be airlifted into the Sahara. Why not us? Why isn’t it our turn to drive deep into the playoffs as a worst/first Cinderella type story? I love Josh Allen. I’m appreciative of the roster overhaul work done by this regime to put him into position to succeed. I love that McD didn’t lose the team even in the worst of the 2018 doldrums, and that there was a palpable rebound effort to close things out—there is a plan going from the trenches right now outwards, and it’s being executed, which is more than I can say for previous regimes going back to Butler. Put me down for extremely optimistic, as I contemplate which kool aid flavor to try next.

It’s all about Josh Allen. Sound familiar? It should, because that’s the only litmus test that really matters here, and certainly for the 2 yr period mentioned. This staff is able to help measurably improve him year over year? They stick around. Any regression and the seats get correspondingly warmer.

His loss then!

Look, at some point merit wins out—or the chaff will get swept away like yesterday’s complaints about Daboll’s play calling. My point is, does anyone here seriously think that Chad Kelly will stick on an NFL roster past cut down day if he can’t rely on his own arm to make the grade? Reich has won a SB as part of a coaching staff, and been a part of many other teams that have gotten there. Methinks he will smell a fake/poser the minute he sees one, and will do what’s best for his team now. If CK can make it, it won’t be because of JK’s laurels—it will be a legit talent basis. Have you actually watched his college tape before poo-pooing his prospects? He makes plays, sorry.
