JP51

His on field and locker room presence is alone worth a roster spot... love this guy.

Well indeed I agree I cant wait for this game like I said a great game... with respect to regressing... I dont know... just an eyeball on it seems like the Vikings are actually starting to peak now... the Lions seem like they are a bit plateaued albiet at a Super Bowl level... I would not have given the Vikings a chance in this game realistically 4 or 5 weeks ago but I am now... thats the best I got for you just my impression. as would I make that swap...

I feel like this is the one

Well I will say this... these things got started during the Super Bowl years so it was less what else do we have to do and more just the crazy... but also... very superstitious people that pushed their superstitious OCD to an increasingly more insane, bazaar, eccentric level... so for me it was really more... the crazier the idea the better chance we had of winning... but thats just me...

I believe he did... he was a fun down to earth guy.. but a real character and you know what it may have been the late 90s but it could have been the early 2000s cause the party moved to the main lot from the side lot when they got rid of the bubble and built the field house...

I know i remember us thinking it would likely be closer to a 1st rounder... not thinking that it would actually be closer to the top of the 3rd round... lol

So way back in the 90s Joe Cahn from Athlon sports magazine came to do a piece on this "Crazy Bills tailgate party" He came to the party and did everything, Bowling Ball shots, Drank the wine from the stomped on grapes from the year before, ate off the hood, witnessed Ketchup all of it... he interviewed Kenny and some of us and got his names wrong... so when the article came out he referred to Kenny as "Pinto Ron" and it just stuck... . and that is how Kenny became Pinto Ron... fun fact, Joe Cahn had so much fun he came back about yearly for a few years..

Quite honestly watching them play I feel like they are getting better by a smidge and Detroit is actually regressing a small amount... this will be a great game between the 2 and i would not at all be surprised to see the Vikings as the 1 seed. I for one in the beginning of the year did not see that one coming... at all...

This is my hope and whether it was one of the reasons to bring Hyde back or not, I think this benefits him... I think he needs to play... I like the coaching staff has high hopes... but clearly he is a rook and not playing at a level that I would say is what they are looking for but sometimes the only way to make that leap is to play... no time like the present.

this was epic! Thanks for sharing this! I have seen it 100 times... and if I see it 100 more it will never get old.

Does he let Cook get to 1000? i think he is like 19yrds short.

LOL in the end... if either of them need to play in the playoffs we have big problems..

Agreed I think they give the 2 seed an extra day in case they win

The traditions evolved he started the pancakes on the shovel and burgers chicken wings in the army helmet. Pete started the Pizza in the filing cabinet and it just went on and on the more insane the better

Nope bacon lettuce and tomato on my burgers So this is a scientific engineer who is smarter than I will ever hope to be. Kind and caring zero pretense and loves ideas that are so out of the norm that he just gravitates to them. Excellent Dad husband super positive and optimistic don't know anyone who ever had a bad thing to say about the man. Generous fun loving and VERY eccentric I enjoyed it cause I didn't get messy what people don't know is he brings a change of clothes to the game of the exact or similar to what he wears and changes after

Well if you know Kenny you know that he takes crazy challenges from all who propose them the crazier the better... thus it's really Kenny who deserves the limelight lol I was just a prop with an idea lol 😆 You have obviously never done a bowling ball shot, crushed chips with the Cornell state marching band playing Louie Louie, crushed grapes with your feet and made wine destroyed old TV sets in a new way each game etc... some of the traditions Kenny has are far more insane than that Didn't have the same joyeux de vive lol

It is what it is lol Who is to mess with superstition lol

Not taking away... cause you were not wrong... but I am categorizing this Shakir season as a pleasant surprise.. I feel like he was going to produce well given the increased focus... and he did.... maybe even a little nicer than we expected... but no his is not the 2nd coming of Nacua either... hopefully he has some more in that ceiling... but for his 1st real year as a focal point well done 10.

Rex! Rex! Rex! Rex! !!!! wondering if Rich Kotite is available LOL

Your welcome, I have been meaning too... this seems like an appropriate time with Kenny's 500th game.

I am not sure if anyone cares or is interested in knowing... but I will write it and if no one cares we can delete it... but it is such a fun niche in Bills tradition... It was 2 days before Christmas in 1990, the Bills were playing a huge home game against the hated Dolphins... So, all traditions and superstitions were on full display... no one willing to break any one of them. Kenny J (Pinto Ron) had a tradition of eating a Hamburger cooked on a shovel with ketchup before every game... only... this game... Kenny forgot his ketchup... he came to me in a panic... "JP51!! you have to find me some ketchup!!! " so I went to the tailgate next to us and told them and they went into the Mobile home and produced a 12 oz bottle of Heinz ketchup... I came back to Ken with the ketchup and said... how about I get on the hood of the Pinto and squirt the ketchup on your burger that way... Kenny said Brilliant... so, to no fan fare or anything I got on the hood of the Pinto and squirted ketchup towards the burger... well. 20mph winds had different ideas as none of the ketchup was going on the burger... but all over Kenny .... and the cheering started... I literally had to get down off of the Pinto and shake the last vestiges of Ketchup on the burger to keep with tradition... We won... Next week Kenny comes with a 36 oz bottle of ketchup and says we have to do this again... so up I went... and used the "Blind and Blast" technique... nail his glasses so he couldnt see... then blast him with Ketchup.... and a tradition was born... as time went on we moved to a 64oz bottle, and crowds of people chanting Ketchup Ketchup Ketchup... news crews coming to film etc... then one day (me being about 235lbs at the time the roof of the 80 Pinto dented.... worried about the sustainability of the roof and wanting to continue the tradition... in the offseason Kenny tore the underside of the Top out and reenforced it with steal... (true Story lol) as time went on, Mustard and relish and other condiments were brought in and you have the ceremony in its present form... And that my friends is the rest of the story....

Yes as well as a guy like Drew Lock tanking his chance at starting so he can get cut and the Giants get a better pick to draft his replacement... i get the thought but not so much agree with it

I do think that the GM is best making those decisions and not the fans lol

I don't disagree with your premise at all, just not sure why you attached my post to it... i mean that's fine but I wasn't suggesting a coaching change nor was I talking about the head coach. My post was related to Babich and the need for both the Defensive Personnel and the Coach both to improve. Whether that is internally or by addition in the off-season or what ever I would look for significant scrutiny in the off season from the FO on the d performance this year

I agree I think he is more of a problem than a solution... that said interior DL and Saftey position must be addressed in off-season maybe even edge need some help here... babich or personel I think a bit of both
