Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice... Gus Johnson appears.

Quote from WFT fan forum: "I sadly think the Bills are going to deliver a beat down on us and it's going to be painful to watch." Decent summary of the consensus over there.

Men circle admission: I go through so much dip during games it's enough for me, Josh, and any other dippers out there.

As I mentioned in the TB-Girls game thread... Zeitgeist report: OUT=running/IN=not running

Out: running. In: not running.

Fr a non-WNY perspective: I was not local for 25 yrs (btw, the day I came back I joined TBD, Oct 2019!). Was overseas alot, so missed--yet craved--any Bills/NFL football. So, my bottom line now: I am like a crack wh**e vis a vis WGR bills coverage. I'll give you, ahem, whatever you want, just to get an extra 10m of S&B talking about FF (even though I dislike it) just cuz they may/may mention a Bills player. I guess it's like that old Joni Mitchell song..."you don't know what you got til it's gone". So, live joyously my brothers and sisters...these are the fricken' days.

@Miyagi-Do Karate: (dude/not a dude): you are me, and I am you. I've been so superstitious--combined w chronic bbfs--that I literally won't take a p**s until halftime. This year: I've decided to let that dog bark whenever the need arises. It's like a 12-step program.

I don't exactly know why, but I really like Miami dude, starting last year. Maybe it's b/c he reminds me of my Niagara Falls uncles growing up.

Agree. Seems he spent alot of his "down time" in the weight room. Don't remember him looking that swoll.

Thanks for this. If you have a sec, can you expand on this? Interested in this specific observation... "palms" quarters.

With due respect, I'm not sure this is precisely correct. A vet perhaps, singular. Otherwise, there is not a single service member who is not aware of the Battle Cross ceremony, or some variation thereof. It's an (awful) element for any boot on-the-ground. Basically, everyone knows this. I do not mention this with any vitriol... but please look it up so you may have a better understanding. That is the only time to kneel and grieve. It happens in the field of battle...a 160+ yrs tradition. Otherwise you stand for every KIA-related ceremony, the flag always featured. This is why you hear "we only kneel for the combat dead; we stand for the flag".

OP: I love your posts brother, and I'm not looking for a back-forth argument. Honestly, I respect what you have to say. I'll just note this: many of us in this forum have been down-range (me, 16 tours in 20+ yrs, incl IZ and AFG...and btw I don't want or need any recognition for same). Ultimately, our purpose was to protect the continuation of fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression, precisely as it relates to this thread. My point: choosing today to bring this subject up--after the sacrifice of so many just 24+ hours ago--is, well, a little disjointed, timing wise. I'll just say carry on, you have the uncontested right. But please keep in your hearts and minds our brothers and sisters--in harm's way, lives on the line at this very moment--who are literally the last chance of freedom for many souls. Respectfully, DSK

Per sim, and from memory: believe JA goes 29 for 34, 3 pass TD, 1 run TD. So, we got that going for us. Do I have that right @JaCrispy? First time I've ever watched a Madden sim.

Maybe I should start a separate thread, but for now I'll drop this here: Diggs voted by players as #11 best, per NFLN annual gig. By process of exclusion, our Man will be top 10 in the vote. They teased that one player (JA?) moved up the most this year. Since they've already had a +34 player, and Josh was 41(??) last year... we're talking possible top 5 amongst player voters. Amazing the respect he earned. My god, we've come so far...

Thanks for that Scuba. Exact thing I'm trying to convey. Even w all the amazing advances in surgery (I've had 3x ACLs) it's still there. Maybe one of our docs can clue us in re: successful surgery vs what I've termed Amorphous ACL Syndrome"...the kind of thing where "yeah, I'm good, but I keep getting the nagging nicks". ** Uhhh, I'm not a medical pro, nor claim any such expertise

Adding empiricism/anecdotal thoughts to HP injury: To all the ACLers out there, you know it never really goes away. Dings, bangs, little twists, swelling. Always 10-15% worse (temporary) than before even a successful surgery, in my view. So: (a) no idea re Harry specifics, but could it fall under amorphous ACL syndrome? (b) interested to hear fr others--I know you're out there--re your ACL experience, as it might relate to Hp going forward.

Example of a great TBD post. ..I won't quote it all. Concise yet thorough, great presentation, etc. Not blowing smoke up your butt... however, the more of this type the better, even if you don't agree w this/that point. Well done sir.

Taiwan w the assist... that's teamwork my man.

Mina Kimes was on the LAC-LA broadcast. As such, I realize I'm utterly bipolar. I mean, like, I hate her for her JA draft day outburst. At the same time, she's my friggin' hopeful future wife. Jhc, life is a swirl of emotional dilemmas. That's all I got...

Play of the game: Rousseau and AJ meeting in the middle for sandwich sack. Screamed at my buddy, "That's our f***in' future!!" He was not as enthusiastic as me...maybe b/c I woke up his wife.

This. Which leads me to: I see zero culture w/n that team/organization. Obviously, a show is just a show but, crikey, nothing to see there. It was ugly. Boys are in trouble this year. My expert opinion after watching 50+ min of produced television.

You had me at "Bills flirt with..."

Actually, I feel pretty bad for Taiwan...in a f'd up situation. On that other thing: I hope T Jesus does become our gunner+.

I wish there was an "interesting" reaction emoji, as I enjoy new/different takes, regardless if I agree or not...not sure where I stand on TJ but I hadn't thought of this before. H/t.
