Will the AFC East beat up on each other the way everyone expected the AFC West to do it last year?

Sort of what you mean, but my favorite/worst example of this was back during the dark times, in the Monday Night season opener against New England**** in 2009. I had to board a plane that evening, can't remember to where, and I sat in the boarding area watching everything I could as long as I could. They were getting to last call for boarding when Freddie scored on the excellently called and beautifully executed screen pass to give the Bills an 11-point lead with just over 5 minutes left in the game. At that point, I boarded the plane with feelings of joy and hope, knowing I wouldn't be able to know the results until we landed. By the time we landed, it was past midnight, and the arrival airport was dark and mostly abandoned. There was a TV on in the middle of the terminal so I stood there and waited for the score scrawl at the bottom. When I saw the final was 25-24 Pats****, I nearly ***** my pants right there in the airport. I walked out of the airport in a daze. In retrospect, I am so glad I didn't have to watch that collapse in real time. Second best (but really the best) was the other season opener against New England****, the one in 2003. Had to go to a friend's wedding and we were again on a plane the way back during the game. I didn't hear a thing about the game, and found out after we landed that the final was 31-0. That was a sweet feeling.

Nope, I guess I don’t “no”!

Hey, I wasn't the one triggered by a new topic on a message board. Would be good if you took your own advice.

Ah, the always impressive "I know you are but what am I" response. Savage! Seriously, you're telling me you look at these two posts: ...and your conclusion is that the second is the totally rude and personal one while the first is just a totally innocent, objective statement of fact (nothing personal at all!). Sure. I mean, I guess if you're living on your own personal bizarro world? As for "others agreeing with me" I guess I'd compare the handful of those who did with the now 320+ board members who voted in the poll and extended this thread to 9 pages. Apparently a lot more thought there was, in fact, room for another thread, your ALL CAPS bewilderment notwithstanding. Again, as other have repeatedly pointed out, just ignore the thread if you don't like it. Nobody's forcing you to interact.

Oh, I see. So your original post was not personal in any way? Sure thing.

Sorry, didn’t realize you were so sensitive about these things.

'Cause I wanted to do a poll to see where people stand on the issue of a 2nd rounder for DHop. Sorry if that offends you, but I don't think burying a poll in the middle of a 216-page thread will really give us a sense of where most people stand. If you'd prefer yet another thread on someone we should or should not draft, maybe I can better serve you next time.

Wow, life must be pretty tough.

Just trying to see what the balance of opinions are, champ.

I was right!! Wow. Saban was beside himself about allowing the Fins to drive for a TD in 56 seconds...can't imagine how he'd feel about 13 seconds...

Something made me think it was Miami, and the answer is no. But I could totally be making that up.

I would guess Beane is waiting to see what falls in the draft before signing him.

Sounds like Beane kicking the tires on a potential 4th back in case someone they like fails to fall to them in the draft.

I like Keenum and I think they'll bring him back, as they seem to prefer guys who already know the system. That said, I never felt very confident that Keenum could come in and get the job done. I don't know if Mariota could, but it will be interesting to see if they look at anyone else out there. Many options.

Interestingly, no. I had been a customer since 2005, and the person remarked several times about that, so I was expecting some kind of push to keep me. But they never offered anything, which is fine, since I had no intention of staying with them and didn't want to stay on the phone very long.

I actually came here to say exactly the same thing.

Same here. I haven't had any real problems with DTV and I've had it for many years. Pretty satisfied customer overall, though if there was one thing I didn't like it was the cost and all of the extra crap channels I was paying for. This past week I decided to cut ties and make the move to YouTube TV. Basically getting everything I had before for about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. The flexibility is great, and although there are still a number of channels I think are ridiculous to have to pay for, overall I'm pretty happy with it and it's a smooth step up from satellite. Just a couple of thoughts from a guy who's rapidly becoming a dinosaur, in case there are others who are hesitant about the switch.

Man, recency bias is a real b!tch.

Often thought about which was worse...Troup over Gronk, or Whitner over Ngata. Whitner at least had a few decent years, but while Ngata was awesome Gronk is probably the best all-time at the position. 😢

It would be more impressive if it was outdoors, but since this is a Bills game I'll allow it.

Hell, if there's room, might as well italicize it too.

Whew, got mine. There were 2000+ people in the queue when I signed in right at the start (!), but it went really fast. Plenty of great seats were still available.

Seems like our guards are very susceptible to stunts, and our RT is repeatedly susceptible to outside rushes. Those seem like things that could be corrected, but aren't, for whatever reason.
