You can't lock up comedy, you can only hope to contain it!

Many, many moons ago (like literally thousands of sleeps) it used to be an occasional practice to convey some info in a thread title, but then leave the body of the post blank. We had a poster named belinda who was infuriated by this habit and would occasionally chew somebody out when they did it. Some incorrigible jackass (who shall remain nameless by virtue of the 5th Amendment) thought it would be funny to start putting (belinda) at the end of thread titles when they didn't contain any further discussion, and it sort of caught on. It's now more of a shout-out to old-school TBD'ers to elicit a nostalgic chuckle.

If I'm Josh Allen, I throw this game and then tell coach I'm spending the week in South Florida to save on travel and doing prep work on the beach.

Yes

They were arguably the most consistent team in the AFC earlier and I thought people were sleeping on them. What a crazy collapse.

I voted no, because I'd want them pissed off and aggressive tonight. But in reality I would actually tell them, but only because they are going to find out eventually and I wouldn't want to lose their trust.

Did you all even read the scenario? "I know there will be no hiding it from them but in a different world where you could control it do you tell them the outcome?" My wife has no idea that the Jags lost or that it now means the Bills are in. I have not told her yet and am deciding whether to tell her or let the tension build until somebody mentions it on the broadcast tonight.

Yes Jevon Holland (S) was also downgraded to questionable yesterday

Forget Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. None of it means **** except for 8:20 tonight.

Josh Allen is not Drew f'ing Bledsoe. And damn you for making me put those two names in the same sentence.

He is exactly the kind of guy that Ed Oliver has the awareness to go the extra mile to land all his weight on.

He is. They will also likely be getting their starting RG back

Got to see my daughter on TV multiple times. She was in a sea of Pens fans wearing an old school Sabres tiedown sitting in the second row right over Luukkonen's shoulder during the 1st and 3rd. When the building emptied out with several minutes left, she was still there drinking beer til the clock showed 0:00. Raised that one right.

One of the worst calls in the history of the NFL, from their own 10 with only a few seconds left in the half. Even worse, it turns out they had run the same play from the same formation in a similar part of the field just a few weeks earlier. The Raider staff had it pegged and most of the defense knew it was coming at the snap. Definitely weird that I can remember it so distinctly, yet can't remember hardly anything from the last couple Super Bowls.

I should have said, "nobody playing in this game" wants a tie

Nobody wants a tie; there's actually some potential to see some weird-assed decisions later in this game.

I'm convinced that the league is now run by the kind "executives" who know or care nothing about football and are convinced that officiating drama actually makes the game more exciting.

I think a tie puts the Bills in, but I'm not really sure either. I don't pay much attention to all the scenarios because the only thing that matters to me is Sunday night

Always remember that it gets a little easier every day, even when it doesn't seem like it. 🤙

They probably are every few plays but just cant keep up

LOL, I literally just posted the following in another thread at the exact same time you posted that: If this is your first baby, please be aware that your IQ is currently in the process of dropping by 50+ points and you are going to be a borderline drooling syphillitic idiot for the next 6-12 months. It's bizarre and inexplicable but it is real. Don't worry, it fades eventually. Good luck!
