Rubes

Don't forget, Kelly played a couple of seasons in the USFL (and got beaten on pretty good there, too), starting in 1984. So he had a good 13-season run.

As long as there is a separate archive of the old posts, that should be enough. I can't imagine people would use it much, but getting rid of it completely would be a little disappointing. As for the shoutbox, I don't often use it, but I find it's a nice thing to have on game days. It's a good way to communicate (usually commiserate) with others during the action, better than game day threads.

That just looks like clouds with maybe a brief little bit of rain.

I can't believe it took three pages for someone to say this.

Shaq was practicing today, so hopefully he's back. I believe his run defense has been very good and perhaps under-recognized.

Well done, sir.

So they signed a WR and two safeties, but nothing for LB? Wonder if they think he'll be back fairly soon...

Cincy has played really well the last two weeks. Just cause they started rough doesn’t mean they aren’t a good team. This will be as tough as this week since their defense is much better than Atlanta’s.

What about the dude that Warren Beatty played in Heaven Can Wait? He made it to the Super Bowl. Yeah, Im old.

Or the main Ewok character from Return of the Jedi.

He didnt say of themselves...

Sure thing...though I never did find a good home after Port O'Call was bulldozed. You and me both! Surprised we got out of there before the mob caught us. I can't believe that was 13 years ago. Holy ****! That place we watched the game is long gone now...bulldozed it so they could build a fugly federal court building. Sigh. I miss that place.

Definitely going to put that one on the calendar. Won't make that mistake twice.

This should go well.

If you'd prefer.

...this one from 4 years ago: Bills vs. Saints 2013 Obviously we're a different team now, but I think even though we were 3-4 entering that game on the road against a 5-1 opponent, there was still some sense that maybe we could hang with them and somehow pull it out. We did hang with them in the first half, but got spanked in the second half. Still suffering from BBFS. I hate getting my hopes up for games like this.

Great point, for sure. I remember thinking at halftime of the Denver game that the only way I thought we had a chance was to get a turnover or two.

Great point!

...with the game on the line, in the 4th quarter, with the lead, and the ball...the Bills went on a 16-play, 7:30 minute drive to get points and essentially put it away. Sure, they had some help from the refs along the way. But seriously, who saw that drive coming? That's not how we do things in Buffalo.

I'd say the only things we have going for us are Julio is not at 100% with back issues, and McDermott has a history of getting to Matt Ryan (with Carolina). So maybe he can repeat the magic with our defense now. If we can figure out a way to motivate Dareus to play well, then I'd say this defense could be nasty and we might have a (long) shot.

I still have no idea how the refs missed our guy calling timeout right in the middle of the field.

Next week will be tough, and from the way things are looking now, Cincy is starting to wake up and look tough too.

As they say, WR is one of the toughest positions to learn in the pros.

They've been playing great, especially Gaines. I'm a little worried about what will happen when they play a sound, disciplined offensive team with a very accurate QB like Atlanta or NE***, who do a great job of exposing the holes in a zone cover defense. But for now, I'm very, very happy with them.

It's especially surprising given that Dennison said in the offseason that they would be doing more of this stuff. That's what I was hoping to see. But not seeing it the first two weeks had me puzzled. It's the perfect type of offense for Tyrod. Nice to see, finally.
