Utah also has an online system where you can see if a particular plate is available right away, but you still need to make the formal request for a plate by mail, and they make you include a description of what your plate is supposed to mean. So they presumably have a person or group of people reviewing each request before it is approved/denied.

That's funny, I thought they were talking about something very different.

I think you're exactly right.

We just didn't appreciate the tank back then like we do now. As far as "most reviled", have to go with Bullough. Stevenson was bad, but he tried and wasn't a bad guy. Bullough, as others have pointed out, was bad and not even respected by the team. Has to be right at the top of the worst head coaches in this team's history. Marrone was a jerk, but he did put this team in the right direction (with a lot of help, of course, so can't really give him too much credit).

Sounds like the TV show didn't want to get into the complexity of the siege at Riverrun -- in fact, the TV show never does say what happened to Edmure or the Blackfish, do they? Both left the wedding hall before the carnage, but I don't think they ever referenced either one again, as far as I can recall. Jamie going to Dorne is interesting, but my sense is that they needed a plot element to get Jamie out of King's Landing so that Cersei would be alone when the **** hits the fan. And it looks like they're setting it up so that Lancel is the one who turns in Cersei for screwing him and for her role in Robert's death. The question is if the TV show will go the full nine yards and have her sleep with Osney Kettleblack to get him to set up Margaery for adultery as well. They certainly could at this point, as they are doing a good job portraying Cersei's anger and jealousy towards her, but I can't remember if Osney is a character in the TV show. One of my favorite scenes in the books is when Cersei is led to the room where they are torturing Osney, suddenly realizes she's ed, and tries to run away.

I wouldn't go that far. Lawson's job on that play was to get to the QB, which wasn't going to happen. I doubt his job was to chip the RB since that would delay his pass rush. Brown definitely took a bad step. It almost looked like he was expecting the RB to cut back inside. Also, the TE on that side was well positioned to make Brown take a longer path. A well-designed play, I'd say. Edit: I think I see what you're saying -- perhaps Lawson's job was to decide whether to cover the RB or rush the passer. I'm not sure if Schwartz's defense worked that way, though.

Thanks, great report!

Interesting that some people mention the 2013 Falcons, who were definitely stacked at those positions...yet finished 4-12. Of course, they had the #27 ranked defense (offense was #14). I also don't recall if injuries or other factors played a role. I agree with John that one of the exciting things about this season is that we have five most excellent skill players on offense, plus a potential top-5 defense as well. I'm really hoping they can figure out the offensive line issues. I think I'm more worried about that than the QB spot.

Are you Jason on Twitter, by any chance?

Those first three games will probably go a long way in determining if we make the playoffs.

Get well soon, Bills bud! Looking forward to seeing more of you around here again. We're all rooting for you!

I think we ran out of Ducks.

I agree, that was the one I enjoyed the most.

You've got to be kidding me.

Eichel. Impressive puck handling. He also has good speed, good vision, and a lightning shot.

I agree, that was about as crazy as the Ralph had been in a long time.

Man, that guy is really good with the puck.

Rats. Oh well.

I think Arya's storyline is going to leapfrog the books this season, so we'll see. Tyrion's journey will definitely be altered, since it doesn't appear it will include the sidebar of him joining up with Aegon and that group. So he will probably fast forward to a meeting with Daenerys, which is probably where he was headed in the books. So Tyrion's storyline will also likely leapfrog the books soon.

I agree, if they had won that game, this one would be right near the top. Still, it was very memorable and quite the emotional roller coaster.

This might be a good time to remind everyone that this is the readers thread more than the TV show thread, so, book spoilers and such are allowed.

Too many to recall...one that is not quite my favorite but high on the list is the game against Miami in 1987 when the Bills won 27-0. Kelly threw a TD to Reed right before the half to make it 21-0, and they cruised in the second half. It was a coming out of sorts for the team, with all of the young talent including a new Biscuit on defense. That was the game that made everyone start to realize this could be something special. So much fun to be there with my dad.

Yep, that would be me.

No kidding! I'm supposed to be going to sleep now but I'm ready to go punch my head through a wall!
