Rubes

Donnie Henderson loves him some Duke Williams, I recall reading online recently. For what it's worth.

It's definitely a lot to make up but there were a lot of close games, especially towards the end of the year. A little more offense and a goal here or there...

Why is that?

Wow. I don't even know what to think right now. Just so, so relieved that this nightmare is over.

Seriously, if the Sabres don't lose tomorrow, nearly the entire fan base will be pissed. Two years of historically crappy hockey with nothing to gain from it or look forward to? Wow.

Man, that is some seriously cool ****.

I think this is a pretty good assessment.

Man, I don't know. Most of my Bills-loving family are gone, except for my cousins. But I'm far away from them. The only thing I could imagine is taking my cousin to see it in person, which would be an incredible thing to experience if they win. But man, that would be pricey. If not that, then I have no idea who I'd watch it with. It might have to be just by myself. Over the years, my tolerance for watching games has taken a nosedive, and I get nervous as hell, even during games that don't mean a damn thing and they're fighting for last place. I don't think anyone else would want to watch a game with me. I can't imagine the kind of meds I would need to be on now to watch a Bills Super Bowl. I went to one of the SBs in the glory years -- the worst one, of course (52-17) -- and it was pretty depressing. It would be nice to make up for that.

Damn, Coyotes lose by one. So close. On the other hand, Ottawa beat Pittsburgh...

Man, it's never easy. Unless somehow Arizona can pull one out tomorrow, but very unlikely.

Obviously, I think it's worth discussing. If you don't, feel free to not open the thread. Only problem with that is Schwartz very likely would not have stayed under that scenario.

The other what-if thread (promoting Pettine to HC) got me wondering if people would feel any differently if, after Marrone quit, we elevated Schwartz to HC and it was he who recruited and hired Roman as the OC. Would people here feel much differently? Is there more confidence or support for Rex as HC vs. Schwartz, given the same OC? On the one hand, there is the continuity on defense (Schwartz), while on the other, there is the track record and creativity on defense, plus the allure and personality (Rex). None of this matters, of course, I'm just curious. For the record, I'm totally on board with the Rex hire.

All we need is an offensive line that can keep guys off of the QB, whoever it is, and we should be sitting pretty.

We were leading at halftime of the last one...

Agreed!

Awesome! Go Cornell! Loved it there.

Man, you can say that again.

Whoa. Clutch win by the Coyotes.

No way Arizona gets any more points the rest of the way. This is going to be a real nail biter. If the Sabres and Coyotes end up tied in points, who finishes #30?

The tweet seems to imply they are wondering about his post-playing plans (ie, coaching), rather than him as a player.

There were two shadow babies in the books, and the impression I got is that they were born for one purpose: to kill an individual, after which they disappear. GRRM hasn't done anything more with them for several books, so I'm guessing he's done with the shadow babies. Unless he plans to use one more to kill, say, a Bolton. But I don't see that happening.

I highly doubt this team goes with a raw rookie behind center this year. Not the way it's stacked right now. But I guess stranger things have happened.

There are a lot of Packers fans where I work, but I'm the only Bills fan (of course). I tell them all that last year's game against the Pack was my Super Bowl. And boy, did I let them have it.

I love how we read deeply into everything.

Since we don't have a 4th I imagine it's a tough call, as I agree they're probably offering one of our 5ths. Maybe if nobody else bites...
