I try to hide behind the couch. Best I got. 🤷♀️ Everybody has all the answers! If only TBD could run the Bills we would be declared the Super Bowl victor and handed the trophy in preseason with the other 31 teams playing a tournament for second place. Have a thought? Start a thread! . Edited December 7, 2021 by Augie 1 Quote

You all are still pissed that it wasn't Brady that had the Bills number it's Belichick. He's kicked the how many Bills' coachs' asses over the years? And the jealousy train rolls on and on. For me it's hatred, not jealousy. 1 Quote

No, I hate them for their cheating ways and for everyone willing to look away and get away with it. Then praise them as if they have never done anything wrong. I hate their obnoxious bandwagon fanbase, whom I can guarantee you know nothing about the history of the Patriots*. Just ask them who Andre Tipett and Irving Fryar & Stanley Morgan are, and you'll get blank stares. I hate Tom Brady, because he is the biggest whiner in the history of the NFL, and I'm a Michigan fan. I knew about Brady long before most of these "fans" did. Rob Gronkowski & Julian Edelman are all ***** and deserve all the bad karma in the world. Every championship, and statistic associated with Belichick's tenure should have asterisk marks next to every player. 1 Quote

One question and I want you to answer honestly. If the Bills had the same exact success with the same program and the same players and coaches would you feel the same way about them or would you be one of the proudest fans in the sport. I'll give you my answer. Hell yeah!! If you ain't cheating you ain't tryin'. I don't care if my QB is a whiner. Bring home with W's dude!! Quote

Do you feel shame that we dropped the bomb on Japan? OR should we have been more honorable....Even if it would have been harder with greater loss to our people? Of course you don't... Because honor doesn't mean much to you. Trust me on this one, I stayed at a Super 8 last night! 😉 😜 Honor means a lot to the Japanese, they are ashamed of their atrocities at the height of their victories Quote

Roll your eyes all you want @ExiledInIllinois I can smell a liar a million miles away. And if you're not lying you're delusional. This from a book I'm reading. SUMMARY: In his book "Ineffective Habits of Financial Advisors", former Buffalo Bills special teams coach John Steven Moore had this to say: "The wind can blow hard off of Lake Erie. It blows easterly, swooping over the left rim of Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium, down to the field and then back up over the luxury suites on the right. It can swirl and have a modest impact on the outcome of a football game. You can't control the wind, but you can use it to your advantage -- make it an opportunity." "I was the special teams coach for the Buffalo Bills in the early 1980s. In our pregame warm-up, as we prepared to play the New England Patriots, the wind was blowing hard. I figured we could create a wind tunnel if we opened the east-side tunnel door of the stadium when New England was kicking against the wind. I worked with our equipment managers and told them, on my signal, to open the doors. Thinking back about it, I do feel a little bad for the New England punter. On his first punt against the wind, the ball came off his foot nicely, but then the wind puntied it right back at him. In a game with dozens of consequential plays, sometimes it's just one that can make a big difference. I used the wind to our advantage. We won the game and that's why I only feel a little bad." They all cheat dude. You're just pissed because the Patriots are better at it. https://yourteamcheats.com/BUF 1 minute ago, ExiledInIllinois said: Nope. Sorry.

You have no honor or shame that your team cheats like all the rest. Shame we dropped the bomb on Japan? You do realize we were leveling their cities prior. Just in a much slower motion. Quote

I’ve seen it before, but had forgotten how badly McArthur comes off. How does he get caught with his pants down twice. Is there more to it? How is he not ready when they hit the Philippines less than 24 hours after Pearl Harbor? He supposedly swore they were ready. If you’re into conspiracies, isn’t Pearl Harbor enough to get the country fired up? I came to this thread to escape those thoughts! It’s OK, we all cope in the ways we see fit. I run away and hide! So, from what I understand, MAC was one of many high ranking members of the militaries of the world not yet sold on the use of air power. Three days from now will be the annivseray of the sinking of the two British capital ships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse, easily sank by Japanese torpedo bombers—flown out of what later was Da Nang air base in Vietnam. After that, no one in their right mind would, if they could avoid it, sail ships through areas controlled by enemy air craft Mac never set up his air defense network and his planes planes were destroyed on the ground. After that he was blind, under constant air attack and his supply lines were cut 1 Quote

The Raiders wore that motto on their sleeves and I always respected that. One of my pet peeves wrt the Pats is they wanted to have it both ways - everyone knows they cheated but they wanted to maintain a squeaky clean image. I remember when they tried to play off the guy nicknamed The Deflator as a weight loss guy. Just own it and move on Quote

Mark Vader Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 As for the topic at hand, and I know I've posted this before, but my grandfather was on the USS Pennsylvania that day, and he survived. I was never close to him unfortunately, but I cannot imagine what he went through on that horrible day. May he and those who were there rest in peace. 2 Quote
Wacka Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 My dad was stationed on Ford Island around 1949-50 (Korean War). It was a nice peaceful place then. Was a fireman on the base and they only had one plane come in with problems during his hitch and that plane landed OK. He told me though about the bullet holes still in some of the baracks and hangars, left there to remind them to never forget. The Arizona's superstructure was still sticking up out of the water, way before the memorial was built (1962). Oil still leaks from it to this day. 1 Quote

My wife asked “why do you do this to yourself?” That was tough to answer, but she gets it now. It’s our son we worry about these days as I’ve become more tame. Genetics. I’m sticking with that. My dad passed it on, not my fault! 1 Quote
