  1. Not to be too picky, because I think overall he had a really nice game, but that one to Beasley was frustrating. He hits Beasley in stride and it's 6 points, he had the defense split. In the end, we missed the FG on that drive.
  2. I'm just worried about the LB injuries. Any update on those? I missed almost all of them.
  3. Disappointing, but not totally unexpected. They can bring him along slowly, and we have very good DL depth. Plus, he is not a special teams guy, unlike DJ. That's the key difference here.
  4. I had no idea he was still so young. HFBD Scott!
  5. I've said it before as well. I don't know if the Fins will be able to put it together this year to win the division, but they do have a lot of new talent and an easy schedule, so anything is possible. But like you, I amd concerned about what they are putting together for next year and beyond. If Tua pans out, they will be a very tough team to deal with.
  6. That's what you get when you go from an easy schedule to a playoff team schedule. Lots of tough teams instead of bottom dwellers. Many teams on the rise benefit from easy schedules only to see them get exposed by a rough schedule the following year. I don't think we're that, but there are plenty of people who do.
  7. Thanks for all you do for us.
  8. Most of those folks for the Bills are back today, including Kroft, Spain, Brown, and Jefferson.
  9. Other than that, he makes a good point. ?
  10. no kidding...one of the things I most looked forward to every summer...
  11. So actually it's a new contract, with a 4-year extension on the 2 years he still had left.
  12. That's a hefty extension!
  13. Great news!
  14. Playoffs every day and twice on Sunday
  15. Learn that the hard way, did you?
  16. Yeah, didn't work for me.
  17. Wait, what??
  18. Say what you will about Kim and Terry, but I really really appreciate how well run this Bills organization is, from top to bottom. Scouting, strength & conditioning, management, coaching, drafting, free agency, finances, player development, even COVID...really coming across as extremely professional across the board. Knowing where we've come from, it's sooooo nice to see.
  19. Knowing us, we'll probably slice through the league schedule like butter all the way until January, looking like the favorites for the title...and then they'll cancel the rest of the season due to a massive COVID outbreak right before the playoffs start.
  20. Just win, baby.
  21. You are one sick puppy, brother!
  22. Honestly, I've never thought any of the HOF busts have looked much like the inductee...
  23. Yeah man, there's definitely a lot I can say on this topic, so much of what I read here is just really depressing. I've thought about diving in a few times to straighten out some things but it feels so futile arguing with people on an internet board who mostly don't seem interested in listening or learning. I deal with this all day long and there's so much else going on I feel like it's just not the best way to spend the free time I have. In any case...public health is probably more responsible for advances in human health and civilization than almost anything else, but public health is about the public good, not individual good. As a society we had a strong respect for public health for many years, and that paid off in major ways for everyone. But over the past few decades it's been viewed more and more as a bonus rather than an obligation, and as the direct benefits became less conspicuous over time, the public started taking it for granted. In turn, public funding has been dropping at almost every level for years. State and local health departments are woefully underfunded and unprepared to address public health emergencies such as this. And right now, when we need them the most, the public's understanding and appreciation of what public health is and does and how it can help is at its lowest. We've become an ultimately selfish, self-centered society, a largely every-man-for-himself kind of society. That is, of course, at odds with the idea of sacrificing something for the public good, which is what is needed most at times like these. This is how we—especially the most vulnerable—will pay the price for that. If we as a society could learn something from this, there might be some hope, but what I see more and more is simply a lack of interest.
