I haven't seen any talk of this anywhere but I saw on Twitter recently the owner/founder of the Big Tree Inn passed away. I didn't know him personally but I did get a chance to shoot the ***** with him for awhile when I was in there one night. Great guy, I was sad to hear about this news. The Big Tree is a staple in Buffalo Bills history. Does anybody know what happened and if there are plans for the bar to continue to operate or is this pretty much the end of the Big Tree?

This team is a stud edge rusher away from being a legit Super Bowl contender in my opinion

Speaking of comparisons has anybody else thought about how Josh Allen is turning out to be everything JP Losman was promised as when he was drafted? 16 years too late but I'll take now over never

He's got better odds than Bill O'Brien does at the moment

Very good take!

I NEVER root for New England under any circumstance

Sounds like an entertaining Doc. I'll put it on my list. Thanks

What's it about? Not from the NJ/NYC area but sounds like something I might be interested in

Soak it in Bills fans...it's a wonderful feeling

This kid is tough as balls. He's got the Jimbo and Brett Favre warrior mentality to him and I love it!

Lol I'm sure their plan was to never bring in a legit #1 WR....you just can't add all of the pieces you want the second you step in. Takes like this crack me up.

They say things things are very cyclical but the card industry was never something I saw making a comeback. I would be happy for the younger generation if this is the case..I have a lot of good memories from my sports card collecting days.

I'm curious about this. The card industry has been dead for years.

I'm not sure role players would be accurate either because I think these guys are legitimate starters and good players but for a team trying to build itself into a contender we need to hit on an elite weapon or two on the defense that can take over a game. It's kind of funny how we seem to have more playmakers on the Offensive side of the ball all of a sudden.

I'm not so sure the issue is a lack of having an emotional leader. I think a lot of these guys play the game with a passion and as McDermott would say "Do the right things" but as I watch this Defense it is becoming more apparent to me that we have a defense filled with a bunch of good players but what we are lacking is a Bonafide playmaker wrecking Havoc along the lines of a Luke Keuchly, JJ or TJ Watt, Aaron Donald, Von Miller in his prime and so on and so on. I was desperately hoping Ed Oliver could be that guy but he certainly hasn't arrived to that level yet. Whether he is being affected by injury or not Edmunds hasn't even been close to that guy yet(not saying he sucks but just saying he hasn't proven to be our Playmaker yet). McDermott has really built the ultimate bend but don't break defense but the problem is we are starting to bend too much this season. I really think a stud edge rusher would bring so much to this defense and make the entire unit so much more dangerous but I have no idea where that piece is acquired at the moment as we won't be drafting very high anymore going forward.

He was before my time but I've always been a fan of the history of the game and I have fond memories of my grandfather talking about Gale Sayers when I was a kid. He was an icon in the sport of professional football. RIP

Hate to admit it but I agree. I bet some money on Seattle and they really made me sweat it out until the end of the game. New England is going to be much better than I was expecting this season. It's gonna be a dog fight for the AFC East.

I agree with the majority who have Mahomes at #1 on their list but Russel Wilson absolutely has the credibility to make that statement and feel that way. Anybody who wants to be great should have that kind of confidence. If you haven't proven anything in the league yet then it's not something you should be publicly stating but Russel has already proven it at the NFL level.

I think Oliver is going to make you eat crow on that one. We shall see

I still think some Bills fan underrate how good Ed Oliver can turn out to be. I really expect him to breakout this season and become a legit star in this league.

No I don't remember this movie at all lol. Space Jam on the other hand....

They have different personalities but they definitely share some similar traits! Feels great to finally have a head coach who is a leader of men.

I'm as disappointed as anyone the way things have played out this year but at this point people really need to accept the reality of the situation. Anybody who actually shows up to the stadium to "protest" will look foolish. All i know is my beer fridge will be stocked at my house and ready for action Sunday! Housegating 2020

I was a diehard Bulls fan back then but I remember being terrified of Utah in that last championship series. It's funny because I think a lot of people look back and just think the Bulls were this super team that were superior to everybody they played but I really looked at Utah as being the favorite going into that series. I think it adds to the Bulls/MJ mystique that they still pulled it off.
