Lions just completely trolled the Packers with a trick play on a 2 pointer up 23.

Sitting through 15 degree weather in Philadelphia to watch your team lose 6-0 must have been a delight.

I'm late to this discussion having been on vacation, but I agree that the Lions should be careful moving on from Caldwell. No one thinks he's Vince Lombardi or anything, but they've had 4 winning seasons this millennium and 3 have been under Caldwell. Other than the debacle year in Indy when Manning was hurt, Caldwell has been a solid (if unspectacular) NFL head coach.

I can’t quite tell from the resolution on my phone, but I think it says “Edmund Fitzgerald” on the bow.

As for the 2017 Bills... watch the Bengals beat the Ravens and the Bills lose in OT to the Dolphins. Just because it is the Buffalo way.

At the half it's double digit leads in Pruitt's favor. Wonder how he's feeling about this.

it's a Bills miracle, 4th and 12!

Harbaugh might have just lost his job because of that one play.

After drinking all day if you guys want to know the real truth I’m kinda glad some other fanbase gets the mantle of 0-16 and also glad Buffalo made the playoffs at Baltimore’s expense.

I see the Ravens losing to the Bengals in their last game at home (Marv’s last game)and missing the playoffs. “Win one for Marvin” type of shit. Lock themselves right into that coveted 20th pick in the draft.

I legitimately feel bad for BFJ for whatever that’s worth but can’t screw up too much sympathy for anyone who has seen their team win a Super Bowl.

Is Harbaugh really on the hot seat?

For it to be the bengals of all teams to help buffalo get there is amusing to me. Two snakebit franchises, maybe it had to be a dalton miracle to break the bills curse.

The most important revelation...

So....I have a ton of questions about the "Mexico Is The Shit" jacket. Like, why is Mexico The Shit? Why is a guy in Buffalo wearing it? And most importantly...where can I get one?

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Mon Jan 01, 2018 8:15 am

I've watched that clip a dozen times, and my big question - other than "Isn't life great sometimes?" - involves the guy on the left in the OJ Simpson shirt.

Only in Buffalo, right?

It was surreal watching the bengals bring that much joy to people.

I saw multiple people in OJ jerseys at the one USC game I attended in my time in LA.

Driving around this morning, I heard two straight callers to the Buffalo sports station choke up.

I've just been getting goes bumps all day - and not from the cold. It's just that thinking about the playoff drought is a way to gauge the passage of time.

At the time of the last Bills playoff game, my son was 4 and my daughter was 11 months old. They are both in University. I watched that game at my parents house - my Mother put out her usual Bills playoff feast. She's been gone for 14 years now.

Two good terriers put to rest in the time between Bills playoff games. Hell, I still had some hair back then.

A lot of people are starting to turn on him, as if he's the one who's been refusing to draft offensive players.

Pretty much why I tell whiny, always complaining Steelers fans to STFU. And remind them that they all hated the idiotic JuJu Smith-Schuster pick back in April.

Bills fans have donated $57,000 to Dalton's charity. Most of it in $17 increments!

The lite version of that was my first beer and I would not drink beer now if that were the only available beer.

My first was the Cream Ale. I'm not choosing it, but it's "tasty" around a campfire.

Talk radio is extra salty in Baltimore this AM. Not a lot of Harbaugh love - ravens have missed playoffs three years in a row now and four of last five. A good number of the fans seem ready to try something new. Harbaugh has been here 10 years (or, a 2/3 Lewis...).

But not quite the price of a folding table. :/

I hate him, but that's in large part because I think he's pretty competent (and the rest is his whiny fucking countenance). I guess it's not completely unfair if a team decides they need a new voice after 10 years, but to brian's point about Caldwell in Detroit, this is a rough off season to be wooing a new coach. Even if they have a guy in mind they better be 100% sure they can get him before someone else does. And probably be OK with seeing Harbaugh elsewhere.
