RJ (not THAT RJ)

Sooo... the Pats* have never won a game with a few lucky breaks? Against the Bills or anyone else? But when they do it, it means they are great. When the Bills do it, it is only further proof of how bad the Bills are. All that "good teams make their own breaks" or "luck is the residue of design" stuff only does not count when it refers to the team of which you are (nominally) a fan? The self-hatred of some fans is truly astonishing.

So I have to ask: if Sparano ends up fired, and the Fins totally tank this season, what impact does that have on the reputation of the Genius who was supposed to save the Miami Franchise who has since fled to an overstuffed easy chair on ESPN? BPLoDR forever! :lol:

32 yards.... middle of the field... the rain had stopped, sun was out. Sigh. It still hurts, yeah. But yesterday makes a lot of things better! P.S. Ironically, Dempsey had missed an even short FG at the gun in 1973 for the Iggles in a 27-26 loss to the Bills at Rich.

Yeah, if not for the fact that they scored 34 points, they would not have.... Wait, you were being funny too, right? Because I feel like an idiot trying to pretend that there is any reason to downplay this win. You should too.

I am still chuckling over the officials' granting Brady both a complete scramble and half the distance to the goal on a defensive holding call. They may have scored anyway, but for the officials to put the ball on the 1/2 yard line instead of the 3 suggests that they were not thinking straight from the get-go. But hey, the good guys won, so who cares?

On TSW, there is a whole raft of them....

Even pessimists Have to admit it feels good Now to hope again

Lotta love in this room right now.

Hope my friends. It is a beautiful thing. Cheers to you all!

It is wrong to hate And even more wrong to cheat So hate the Pats*, friends.

An appalling example of the fraud that is instant replay. And that it happened to the advantage of the home team only makes it worse....

With apologies for the self-promotion, here is a possible answer to the question. http://therecoveringpolitician.com/friends/ronaldg/ron-granieri-root-root-for-the-laundry-confessions-of-an-ex-pat-bills-fan

O Mighty Cthulu! Rain down fire upon the Evil Ones from New England And raise up thy Ancient Ones in Western New York!

Well played, brother! It's OK to be hurt, goodness knows. And skepticism is normal. But don't be afraid to hope... when the moment for hope arrives, which can be different for different people. Go Bills!

Well, since Kelly was a first-ballot HOFer, and I do remember the stories at the time discussing his USFL stats, they did indeed play a role in his overall reputation, even if the yards do not count toward his totals.

Way to live up to your sig line, Joe!

I just love me some sentimental cheese. God help me, I love it so.

It is a sign of how bizarre the Evans discussion can get around here that your statement could be either complete sarcasm or completely sincere.

This.

Because scab-picking is an Olympic sport for some people. Though they think it makes them realistic or something....

No one who ever starts a comment with any variation of this phrase ever means it. Ever.

Cute girl. And maybe I have been away from WNY for too long, but I miss girls who sound like that.

I do not want anyone telling me what Lee Evans' groin feels like.
