dollars 2 donuts

TH3...I dig it. I hear you. I'm bitter, dude. Ignore me. A side note is important, too, but I won't bore you with it here. An envy thing and it bothers me a bit. I'm sorry. Peace and Go Bills!

You are, respectfully, either young or ignorant or both to the Bills' long history. I know what other teams do. More importantly I know what this team's history is, other teams be damned. ...and reading comprehension is important, because I need you to show me where I said it wasn't possible. I was commenting on that I don't think the window is opening, there are obstacles to overcome, we've seen amazing, record setting performances from the most important position in all of sports, and we didn't get there, so what has to give or what do we need to get over it and can we get it. I have no desire and am not trying to insult you. If the above is an insult to you I am sorry and I don't mean it that way...but don't do it to me just because you have "stunned" disagreement with me. I've been to this rodeo before as fan for over 50 years. That's how I make THIS comment. Facts. Numbers. History. Peace and Go Bills.

No one thinks Indy? Asking for a friend.* (* I like myself)

The Cincinnati Bengals are going to the Super Bowl. Their QB, a guy I loved even going back to last season (and good for them) is in the second year of his rookie deal. Their 2022 cap space is about 56 million dollars, according to Spotrac. The Bills are 1 year away from their QB's (102 TDs in 2 years) deal kicking in. Their 2022 cap space is 1.37 million dollars...over. I love my team, but let's be clear...the window aperture is not holding. This was the year. If not then something special better happen in 2022. EDIT: To be more clear with my comment on the QBs...Allen has given us the two greatest QB seasons in the more than 60 year history of the franchise (and the greatest QB playoff season ever), and it wasn't enough even to get us to the show. ...so what has to either give, or where do we go to get that extra horse power to get us there? Especially with limited "petro" to get it done.

If the rams win the early game the Bills and Chiefs will be playing to be the only team from last to repeat in the conference championship game. Hmmm, I remember that stat about at least one team from the conference championship games the prior year has missed the playoffs for something like 20 straight years. I also remember that, given the choice, a number of pundits picked the Bills to miss the playoffs. Like we need any more motivation, but as a fan I would love it to have the Bills be the only team that returns next week.

As of right now it is almost 3 weeks until this game is played on Sunday. I love the Sunday night prime time spot as I can watch my Bills play and think about what I have to do fo work on Monday. Saturday night playoff football is "elite", if I may be so bold to appropriate the kids' parlance of the day. Go Bills!

Also, Royale, Nashville is a fun town. If many of us can't get in? Oh well, Honky Tonk Row for us! However, before hand I have to make it to Carter's Vintage Guitars! BTW, after the game the first round at The Blue Bird is on me, but only for five of you. I'm not made of money, for crying out loud.

Hyde, lets be absolutely clear and this is not hindsight...I was not on board with the Tellar trade. "But you have to give something up to get the deal." But you didn't have to give up Tellar and I didn't want to give him up. How great was our guard play then that made it seem like a kid who was showing signs of breaking through his rookie year shouldn't be kept around? Trade something else, but realize the potential you have.

Look, it takes a village. Mind you it doesn't take a smart village. Just a a choice few idiots in the decision making department to make others' dreams come true. Browns, you did it for us back in 1980 By taking Tom Cousineau which eventually played a part in the Bills getting Kelly in 1983, and you did it for us again as Royale has referenced above. For this we say thank you. As a gesture of gratitude you can have anything you want on the second shelf or lower, but if you give us your 1st round pick next year in exchange for Bobby Hart you can choose from the third shelf and above...a lot of people are liking the football poppits.

'Wow...that is completely f***ed up!", said Chad Kelly while sitting on the couch of somebody who he doesn't even know. "It's like they are intentionally trying to piss away the opportunity they've been given.", said the Kitchener Nighthawks 2nd string QB.

“I was right on everything when everybody else was wrong”, is a very popular refrain on this board. It was also a top 50 chart song for The Eagles of Death Metal in 2017.

Amen, Brother HUDS. You can pray for anyone anytime, but I've worked into my schedule that during lunchtime, following grace, is when I pray for the sick and suffering and those dealing with disease and hardship, depression, cancer and death. Sadly my list is long, but I gladly take on more because in my heart and in my faith it matters. It makes a difference. Thank you for posting this, @Royale with Cheese

The best way BB can confuse the hell out of Josh Allen is have someone try to explain to Josh what a "4th down" is.

Darn it, Appoo, you forced me into a stat I wanted to save, but here goes...it is terrible logic, but still. If the Bengals win on Saturday they should be rooting for the Bills to beat the Chiefs, even though they have already beaten the Chiefs this year. Why? In their entire 56 year history and their double digit playoff appearance years they have never made it to a Super Bowl without beating the Bills. 1981 Playoffs in the divisional round to make it to the Super Bowl against the Niners... and again in the 1988 season AFC Championship game to make it to the Super Bowl against...well...the Niners again. Niners are in the playoffs this year, too. Weird. Hey, I don't make this stuff up, I just twist it around.

Appoo I loooooovvve the Bengals. I am not saying we had to play them, but I get your conclusion. Respectfully to them, it just seems "right" that it should be Chiefs and Bills. Now that said, oh boy I am pulling for the Bengals over the Titians because although we may have a better shot against the Titans I will not rule out the craziness of Rich Ralph High Era Stadium with a chance to go to the Super Bowl on the line. Crap, am I not allowed to type that due to copyrights? I mean, "with a chance to go the the NFL Championship game." EDIT: you know I was about to correct the fact that I wrote the word "Titians", but you know what...****'em. GO BILLS!

I am really kind of annoyed that both the Bills and Chiefs didn't take care of business enough during the regular season as to force us into the current situation of having this game in the second round instead of the AFC Championship, where it belongs. For crying out loud the Bucs and Packers got the memo. EDIT: Seriously, I am not saying it could have happened, but it would have been cool to have the opportunity for the same four teams to be in the semis.

Remember when everyone was ready to give the Cardinals the Lombardi trophy earlier in the season? Do you remember when Kyler Murray was considered just plain better than Josh Allen?

it is impossible to choke so badly that literally everything the other team does is measured from a historic perspective. Additionally, choking so badly is Mac going 10 for 35, for 175 yards and 4 pics, which wasn’t the case. The most terrifying thing fans around the country should take away from the Bills record setting performance against the Patriots…is the Fact that the Patriots weren’t actually terrible. Yeah…the Bills ARE that good. No presumption here. Just a firm commitment to not being afraid of anyone in this league.

I stated it in the game thread and I will reiterate it here: It’s weird to say, because it is not our job, but it is our responsibility to eradicate prejudice and ignorance around the league. Because as hard as it is to believe there are still those out there…STILL to this day…who think Dak Prescott is better than Josh Allen at QB. This isn’t just Skip Bayless disease, but an American disease. Please will you help those who need it most with a donation? It’s never too late to save a moron.

Apologize If redundant, but jeepers creepers the hits just keep coming… On December 6th, during the “tornado bowl” between Buffalo and New England in Orchard Park, with 13:23 left in the third quarter the Bills punted for the very last time in 2021-22 against the Pats. Almost 10 quarters. The Bills 484 yards of offense against the Pats was the maximum amount of yards they could achieve during the game (other than kneel down) as they scored tds the entire field length of all their drives. Bills were 6/7 on third down. The only third down they didn’t convert was when Mitch kneeled at the end of the game. Aaron Schatz, Editor-in-Chief of Football Outsiders

On the Bills’ 3rd possession of their December 26th game against New England they turned it over on downs. Other than kneel downs or the end of a first half expiration of time it is the only drive they didn’t score against the Patriots in 2 games. Over the two games they scored 11 tds and 2 field goals, turned it over on downs once, ended the first half once, and knelt to end the game twice. As you know they never punted in either game and never saw a 4th down in last night’s game. Over the two games Josh Allen threw for 622 yards for 8 TDs and ran the ball for 127 yards. …but the hardest one to wrap my head around is that the Bills surrendered the ball over to the Patriots only once in 2 games over 17 drives. …since December 26th, over 4 games, the Bills have punted twice. EDIT: the Bills are 12-1 against the AFC East the last two years and are the first team to win back to back seasons series against Bill Belichick since…holy mackerel, I have no idea when.

I can’t even contain myself. How can any of you sleep? I am bouncing off the walls with boundless energy. I’ve done 8 pushups and 6 sit-ups and I swear on everything that I hold dear I could do 4 more, of each. GO BILLS, BABY!

I am honestly over the age of 50. Everything aches. Everything is too loud for me. I am always cold without my shawl, even in August. And I always seem to be waiting for my soup. I don't need the age shaming or cancel culture that IS the early 21st century machinations. I have my rights, too! ...now why the hell is the window open?!

I want a dome stadium because I am good enough... ...I'm smart enough... ...and dog-gone-it, I'm worth it!
