Whites Bay

Don't forget the nasal "Rochester A". It's been known to shatter glass at 50 feet.

Everyone look up "episiotomy". Some of our mommies had to go through that in order for us to be here.

Yeah, I had a lot of hopes for Cine as well. Looking at Forrest's highlights (I get it - they're highlights)...wow. I have offseason visions of a successful safety blitz on Mahomes. It would be worth the GUARANTEED 15-yard penalty. Bring in the guy with the cart.

I don't know if it's changed, but the law USED to be that if you could prove lineage to two generations, you could get Irish citizenship, and subsequently an Irish passport. That means providing (in the case of a grandparent) the birth/marriage/death (if relevant) certificate for the relative, among other documents. It takes some time and money, but eventually you'll get a passport. I know this to be true, because I did it back in the 1990s. I have dual citizenship in Ireland. And as someone who has spend a lot of years flying to Europe, it REALLY helps to enter Customs & Immigrations through the "EU Passport" line instead of the "Non-EU Passport" line.

To this point, Google "Messe Duesseldorf", click on the Google Maps image, and look at "Merkur Spiel-Arena". The Messe is a gigantic convention facility (it's like 15-16 halls), and a luxury/business hotel and stadium are built right into the complex on the banks of the Rhine. A bit grandiose for Buffalo, to be certain. But as a concept? Been there, done that. And it's in use 52 weeks a year.

And when that happens, there will be some people here that find something to complain about. Mark it down.

With respect to the bolded part...that's significant. I didn't realize that. Was this something confirmed by the team physician? If this is the case, I can't see them bringing him back at this point, despite the premium pick. That's too bad - I really had high hopes for him after his first game. Seems like everyone had a wrist injury at one point last season.

Not being confrontational, just asking with respect to the bolded part..."a starter for EACH of our lines"? Defensive line - no kidding! I'd go DT over DE at this point. But offensive line? The existing line is pretty damn good, and the backups could realistically be trade fodder this week. Just a personal (admittedly clueless) opinion, but I hope the front office doesn't burn a lot of draft capital on the offensive line. Certainly not above Round 8.

This. I'm of the same mindset. My company HQ is in Germany, and I would totally squeeze in a "high-level business meeting" therein to coincide with that game. Bucket list material.

Not post-mastectomy. That's the point. But, in fairness, I get it.

This is an interesting point. Boom Technology successfully flight tested their XB-1 "Baby Boom" aircraft about 2 weeks ago, reaching Mach 1.1. Yes, it's a long way from a flight test to settling into an aisle seat, but if there's any group that could afford premium seating on a supersonic aircraft, it's a professional football team. A million years ago, I was blessed to be able to fly the Concorde from JFK to CDG on business. 3:45 wheels up to wheels down. Something like that could make the entire concept workable. No worse than flying from BUF - DEN. Alternatively, they could consider daytime flights (and maybe they already do this). I used to fly from JFK to LHR leaving about 9:30 AM, arriving about 10:30 PM. 15 minutes later you're asleep in an airport hotel. MUCH easier on the jet lag. I don't know if these flights still exist; this was about 20 years ago. But Australia? Woof. No getting around that one. Flying over the Pacific makes flying to Europe look pretty tame.

We need "Oglethorpe". Those of you who remember the movie "Slap Shot" with Paul Newman will know what I'm talking about.

Not to get off topic, but chiming in to agree. This is what I observed as well. And during that 1984 season you really couldn't blame Shula. That was terrifying. And then it just got predicable.

Overlooking Whites Bay, of course.

Good point on charging the phone. The family text thread will be humming this evening...

I'll tell you what...they lose tomorrow and I'll see all y'all somewhere around Draft Day. This place will be a shrieking hellscape for awhile. I have a life I have to get back to living.

Oh, about 20-25 crusaders on this board who will NEVER give it up. Sorry - did I say the quiet part out loud?

This again...

When he first came into the league, I described him to my family as "Baby Huey". Younger people on this forum won't get it. But I also described him as "Elway 2.0".

This is where my head is, and it pretty much started after the Lions game. And, yeah, I get it - the Lions Defense when the Bills played them was not the Lions Defense at the beginning of the year when it looked like they were the odds-on favorite to be in the Super Bowl. But what impressed me about that particular game (okay, on the rewatch) was the movement and sheer power of the offensive line. My god, the way the tackles are pulling and just LIGHTING PEOPLE UP. I'm looking for flags to be thrown just for sheer violence. The national narrative is "Josh Allen, Josh Allen, Josh Allen...". Yep. It should be. But Allen has enough time to get a barbecue going back there this year. It's just a wicked combination to have THAT quarterback (who has really matured, and it seems to me "calmed down" (girlfriend situation has really turned around)) directing traffic behind THAT offensive line. I'm not predicting victory this weekend AT ALL. My BBFS is strong. But this ain't going to be the beatdown that we saw the last time the Bills faced the Ravens.

Probably Space Food Sticks. Not going to have much of an appetite.

The entire album was on the macabre side. That was the point. I bought it in vinyl a million years ago. A Direct-to-Disc on YELLOW vinyl! Still have it kicking around someplace. Might have to dig it out now...

That's kind of blunt. I prefer "s*x towel". But your post takes the prize.

Tell me we're not going back to Brees...

I would GUESS that it's (1) physically closest to the home team and (2) it's the closest to the actual playing conditions. Indoor vs. Outdoor. Who knows? Might have to do with number of hotel rooms available. But this is just coming from an idiot with a keyboard. No idea.
