dollars 2 donuts

I have been a dyed in the wool Bills fan for more than half century or so on this orb and I have been to 200 or so games over that time, including a Super Bowl and the coldest Bills home game ever against the Raiders. ...but that was roughly 30 years ago and when I read your "-3 with the wind chill" a little bit of pee came out. I shall suffer through my humiliation with the 135" * screen in my living room, now...please...look away from me. (* humble brag, if you like big screens)

TFP...always...I have always held places in my heart after the Bills for The Pack and Cincy. You and I can party together on game day...you pay for everything, though. 😄😉

I want to be very clear on this, because I am worried there is a little bit of confusion on this subject. I pride myself on being a man of faith...not exalting, but humble. I try to carry myself that way, everyday, as best as I can to set an example for my family and to be a better person. That said...I f***ing hate the Patriots. I hate that team. I hate most of their smug, stuck up, "we're better than you even though we are jugheads" fans. I hate those in the media that give accolades to this team I've labeled on twitter, Captain Junior and The Borings. Their defeat WILL usher in a thousand years of peace and prosperity in our land. They are the scourge of all things decent in our society. I want them beaten and defeated more than I want a dry-aged and rubbed, rare cooked porterhouse steak, with garlic mash and a thick seafood bisque soup, drinking Crown Royal Reserve (chilled, but neat) while on the back of a unicorn and watching Roadhouse at a drive-in theatre on a warm summer Saturday night...with subtitles in Mandarin, because that's the way I roll, Jelly. All of us here come from differing backgrounds and differing beliefs in other facets of our life. That is OK as our differences help make us stronger. But what unites us is our common love of this team, and what seals it is also our mutual hate of THAT other team. God bless to all peace loving people...even those we want to eviscerate on Saturday. GO BUFFALO BILLS! ...because I'll be damned if our team makes me want to do anything other than make very loud and emotional proclamations...along with some kicking heels up and the throwing back of the dome on my shoulders.

Doc, correction on my original post in addition to answering your question as best I can. BB is actually 1-1 in the playoffs without Brady. When he was HC of Cleveland he won in the 94 Wild card against New England 20-13, then lost to Pittsburgh. He was 1-2, including post season, that year against Pittsburgh. I would imagine the other time would have to be the year he lost to the Jets in the post season as they are the only team they would have faced twice before and then lost.

Scott, this was great. Initially it was a beer from me and then in a matter of seconds it was, "no...no, that is trophy worthy." I love that nugget. Thank you, Sir.

BTW, I may be wrong, but I don't think I am, and I don't know whether anyone else has brought this up yet, but... Sean McDermott HC Playoff record with Josh Allen: 2-2 Bill Belichick HC playoff record without Tom Brady: 0-1 Just sayin' Go Bills!

Pebbles Flintstone has a better chance of becoming the sixth Beatle than the Steelers do of winning at KC this weekend. ...but both possibilities, however small, do carry their own charm and interest factor.

Throw in too, Guns, that he is likely hungry and his teammates love him.

Hoping for this. Got it. Great move...just a plain smart move.

Beasley may honestly be gone after the season and it could be for various reasons. However, as far as why he could possible stay some around here aren’t considering four words: what does Josh want?

Heaven forbid we should even for a moment think that there is anything, as a player in the heat of it on the field, is justifiably upset about something in particular before deciding blame and punishment, but no biggie. Cool-cool-cool-cool-cool, we are all the smartest mouth breathers lurking on this orb so turn that key and ride that tiger, baby!* (* We are not. We are fairly stupid group, en masse, even sometimes the smartest of the crew around here, and we have the collective patience of ferrets. Being otherwise would bold well for us on a number of levels, but breath not held on this end waiting for it to happen)

When was the last time the Pats lost back to back season series, including the playoffs, against a team? 2-0 And 2-1 would be nice.

The Board members will correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that in either 1980 or 81 Joe Cribbs was due to get a bonus if he rushed for 1,200 yards in the season and they took him out early and he finished with 1,185 yards. The team and the player relationship never recovered after that and he held out early in the strike year of 1982, but came back and average 90 yards a game and finished with 630 for the season (but after starting 2-0 before the strike and at one point being I believe 4-2 the Bills lost 3 straight to end the season and finished 4-5, one game out of the expanded playoffs...that is a story for a whole other thread), then he jumped to the USFL for 1983. Came back briefly in 1985 after that league folded. For those of us old enough to remember we promise you younglings and those more recent fans...he was truly something special. EDIT: Oh, and Happy Birthday, Mr. Cribbs. 64 years young today.

@Royale with Cheese Your greatest post ever, Royale. See, that wasn't so hard. I will share this story with many people not on this board. Just wonderful. Glad your son was OK and I hope you guys made a memory of a lifetime.

Cincy is really a pretty good roady. Six and half hours or so from here, good tailgating even though in the city. Good restaurants, right on the Kentucky border, nice stadium, good people. I am one of those few that would love to be in a division of Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati. At a 6.5 hour drive Cincy would be the furtherest away of our division opponents. If they were in the AFC East they would be our closest opponent.

mainly, though, I had fantasies of catching Tennessee.

No, but I was hoping for it.

I heard, “Blinded by the light. Wrapped up like a douche another roller in the night.”

Now there is a man who knows what he wants. I'm with ya!

I hear ya K-9, but I was being coy. Read another way I am stating, " I fear no team, but I fear the Colts." I have no degrees with it. I just don't want to play them. BUT IF WE DO PLAY THEM...LET'S KICK *** AND TAKE NAMES!

Man...I really like Cincy and I love Joe Burrow. That said I am switching from trying to get HFA away from the Chiefs before last week to badly needing the Bengals to lose to KC and give up the 3rd spot to the Bills. ...because I don't want anything to do with the Colts. I fear no team, but I am a little bit afraid of the Colts. Go Bills!* * Please don't get the Colts in Wild Card Weekend. I think they both may likely get in if they are 10-7, with the Phins winning the finale and beating the Titans this week.

I love it when you guys get the deets that I don't know. Thank you, Ya Digg. Oh, and...WOW. Crazy that on Stafford.

Greedy wish here. I would like Josh to throw for 4 tds to beat his mark of 37 passing touchdowns last year. I believe he’ll do it, anyways, but I want him to do it in 16 games. I also would like to see him get to 40 by the final whistle against the Jets. My goodness has any QB not made the pro bowl in a season they threw for 40 tds?

See, Ed gets it. Go Bills...Oh man, please Go Bills. Make it happen.

Never say never.
