Casey D Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Kelly-- a particularly good read today. You captured the various moods on the Board perfectly. Very much the voice of the collective fan! :-) 1 1
Kelly the Dog Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks Casey. He’s referring to my weekly fan column in the BuffNews. Will the Bills weather the storm or get blown away? https://buffalonews.com/2019/10/29/buffalo-bills-philadelphia-eagles-fans-bills-mafia/ 4

Here is a portion of the article as a tease... ‘“The run game was the real killer, as Allen and Carson Wentz mirrored each other on the field and in the stats, before several late incompletions by Allen with the Bills trailing by 18 points. The desperate Eagles played with desperation; the good kind. The complacent Bills played with hesitation. The Eagles dominated time of possession by 12 minutes, including a soul-crushing, game-defining 8:17 touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. Even something named Boston Scott scored on the ground for Philly. Allen threw for two sixes, and no picks, but could never sustain momentum, or perform his trademark late-game heroics. He got little help from his line, run game, backs, receivers or coaches, but made his share of misreads, misfires and mishandling of the football. The winds wreaked havoc with passes and kicks for both sides, but favored neither. The Eagles soared and scored when they needed to; the Bills staggered and floundered. A team will often go through the winds of change several times over the long season. The Bills had some early bluster that fanned the flames of lofty predictions, and stats, especially on defense. But the howling airstream that swept through Sunday got them off their game and high horse. The next few winnable games might decide if they will weather the storm or get blown away. Boom or bust, gloom or gust.” 4 3

Much obliged, NoHuddle. It's obviously a lot more fun and easier to write a recap after a win. They can't lose to the Redskins, can they? 1

I was going to come up this season but did so over the summer instead. The GF had never been to the Falls. Next season sounds like a plan! 1
