  1. The Bills have a morning flight to Rochester booked for tomorrow.
  2. I was there for that season finale, 12/27/87. It was the last Bills game I went to in Philadelphia since I was moving to Albany from Long Island in January 1988. I had previously gone to the Bills game there in 1985 when they blew a 17-0 lead. I went alone because it was 2 days after Christmas on an extended weekend & I couldn't get anyone willing to go to Philadelphia with me. The nice thing was I was able to get Eagles tickets in a mall in Long Island so after I gave up finding someone to go to the game with, I went & got 1 ticket. Bennett was about the only Bill who showed up that day. It was a run for the bus game for most of the Bills roster. I didn't have much interaction with Eagles fans although at the end when someone was laughing at me in my Bills gear, I said to them "We'll be in the super Bowl next year, you won't" Obviously, we didn't make the Super Bowl in 1988, but we were in the AFC Championship game & Philly was nowhere near contending for the NFC title.
  3. My worst experience was at the old stadium in Foxborough in 1988. I went with a small group of Bills fans but I was the most vocal of the group. After I cheered a sack by the Bills the Pats fans in our section started throwing full beer cans at me. Since I don't drink beer, I didn't appreciate it. Now I escalated the situation by standing up and yelling to security in a voice loud enough to be heard through the whole section "Security, they're throwing beer cans at me, if one of them hits me I'll sue your F'n stadium", with the real word louder than the rest of the sentence. Security ignored me & eventually I had to leave my friends & sit with a much larger group of Bills fans. I was livid the entire trip back to Albany & fired off letters to the Patriots & the NFL. I got letters back from both the Patriots, who offered me a tour of the stadium if I came back (I never too them up on it) and the NFL sent it along to the AFC where they sent me a letter signed by the then "Assistant to the President" of the AFC. The guy was Roger Goodell. So I have a letter from 1988 signed by the current commissioner for my troubles.
  4. Jimmy Spags on suicide watch at Creedmoor Psychiatric.
  5. I thought he was a lock to be a Jet in 2023, but after getting pulled after producing nothing tonight, anything is possible, especially if anyone is willing to give them even a low round pick. PS: Looking more like JP Losman every game.
  6. Jets dressing 3 QBs: Wilson, Flacco & Streveler
  7. 2022 has been the best year for Bills games in Albany. Only the 11/20 Cleveland game & the Amazon Thursday Night game weren't on home TV (Local broadcast, ESPN or NFL Network).
  8. The Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky. Not so obvious anymore. 😀
  9. Note to self: Don't wear my Josh Allen jersey when I rob a bank.
  10. The 2nd coming of JP Losman, including benching in his 2nd season by a coach afraid of losing the locker room by sending him out there.
  11. Geno Smith has a lot of QBs thinking all it takes is hanging around for 10 seasons.
  12. College talent does not equal NFL talent. He has never showed any talent since he turned pro. For his own sake he needs to move on from football & get on with his life.
  13. https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/2022/12/20/vikings-sign-qb-josh-rosen-to-the-practice-squad/
  14. He was replaced because he blew out his achilles .
  15. After what the Jets did to Cleveland this year, when the RB scored & put Cleveland up by 13, I understand why McDermott did this. He did the same thing in Baltimore. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/09/18/jets-stun-browns-31-30-after-late-comeback/ One question Chubb and Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski will likely be asked is why Chubb didn’t go down rather than score the final touchdown. The Jets were out of timeouts and the Browns could have run out almost all of the remaining clock if Chubb had stopped himself short of the end zone.
  16. At least nobody on the Vikings pulled a Vontae Davis at halftime.
  17. This game reminds me of 2018 when the Bills stunned the Vikings.
  18. Highlights: MVP award video:
  19. It will be one playoff game and done for Dallas.
  20. They're not going to go after another QB for 2023. They're married to Wilson whether they like it or not. They have to give him a 3rd year. The question is how much will it take to re-sign White, who will be a free agent. Most likely the Jets will ride into 2023 with Wilson & White and make a QB decision after 2023, not before.
  21. Eligible for college football in 2027: By then he'll be eligible for Social Security.
  22. Auto correct really sucks. Now if you're not a victim of AC, I hate to tell you but Bill Parcells isn't with the Dolphins anymore.😄
