Oh yeah, that 3rd down run by Ty... oof

They were amped up and focused to try to get their first win against one of the best teams in the NFL. We were bored, distracted, and seemed to be looking past them. A tone set by the coaches resting so many starters. But it worked out.

How bout that Jimbo Cook tho too. "BuT cOoK dOeSnT pLaY 3rD dOwNs!" You're GD right he doesnt...

And dont get me wrong. A win is a win, and it was still a 12 point win.

I think we've had 2 others of those already this season, yet here we are again. This takes me back to the 2023 season where every week we said "McDermott will wake them up after THAT". But it never happens. We'll dick around and then win on being far more talented, especially at QB. And then see what happens in the playoffs when you cant win on just talent alone.

Lets Go!

Walker too. Thats it tho

McD loves making bad QBs look good. "It's tough to win in the NFL"

$82M in career earnings. Not bad for a journeyman. (and future Hall of Famer!)

Or a Lamborghini with scrambled eggs for an engine.

Man, this thread is bringing back a lot of memories of games in the 80s and 90s. The evolution from small transistor radios to this major step up: Then the real game changer, the Watchman. Back when the scoreboard was just a big lite-brite and didnt show replays. I remember guys having these and after a big or close play the whole row would crowd around that 2" screen trying to catch a replay on the broadcast.

Great stadium, will be mostly Bills fans. We (Atlanta) had the largest Bills Backers club outside of New York State for a long time (maybe still do). We're also planning on having a ton of visitors come in for it since its an easy travel destination. Here's the info on the official Buffalo tailgate. You dont need a ticket to get in, only if you want access to their food/drinks. https://www.tickpick.com/organizer/event/atl-takeover-tailgate-with-bills-backers-atlanta-58822442

I think a SB win would definitely put us ahead of the Ravens. Maybe the Rams. But we would need multiple SB appearances to get ahead of the Eagles.

I was proud of him last night (and in general). Good for Kelvin.

He makes Diggs look like the quiet kid in the corner of the locker room. No thanks.

Sad and way too young. RIP.

This is great... (sound on)

Great call. He'll absolutely get in. Wonder if any others from the Legion of Boom. On the flip side of that team, is Russ playing himself OUT of the Hall?

Yep, all reasons why I mentioned him. How crazy will it be if the only DB from the 2010s to make the HoF is Stephon frickin Gilmore.... Dont get me wrong, great player and all, just funny given the history with the Bills and how inept those teams were.

I'm just guessing. I was a little thrown by the pic as well. But best I can come up with. Makes enough sense for TBD discussion

Really interesting about DBs... I went back through the last 10 years of All Pro rosters to see if there were names I was forgetting, and there just isnt anyone that stands out. Certainly not like a Rod Woodson or Ed Reed. Best I could come up with as DB is maybe Stephon Gilmore. Maybe Tyrann Mathieu. I think both are out of the league this year. Derwin James is the main DB name that is always around, but I dont think he's done enough to warrant HoF discussion.

He wears the Captain's C and had a horrible game against the Bills. Some very bad DL play, along with committing that roughing the punter penalty which all but sealed the game.

He's no Derrick Henry

Travis Kelce estimated that 50-80% of NFL players use cannabis. I know we dont like the guy for a number of reasons, but I think he has been around more NFL players and locker rooms than either of us. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chiefs-travis-kelce-estimates-up-to-80-percent-of-nfl-players-use-cannabis/ Here's HoFer Calvin Johson saying he "smoked weed every week in the NFL" No surprise, but here's Marshawn talking about how he used it for pain management and recovery since high school and the amount of other players that use it. Kyle Turley talking about using it as a player... Pat talking with Chris Long about using it during their career... Not sure I'd say "no evidence at all"...
