That Aud Smell

i heard Sal on the radio today relating how the Super Bowl era Bills once lost 2 straight games (?) where they were 2 TD+ favourites. It’s the NFL, man. Go Bills!

right - "clean" (as the kids were saying the last time i checked).

the Arizona alternates from last night have a Jackson Pollack spattering of light brown, i thought.

great preview. i hope the team knows to #shootdapuck

fwiw, "clean" is a very commonly used term for the current crop of NFL alternative uniforms (many of which feature heavier use of white/off white/silver colour schemes). i didn't mind the arizona unis -- they're clearly intended to pay homage to the desert that surrounds them.

with the whom now?

They have that amusing, non self aware segment - as I'm sure Bills Mafia does - who are apt to say things like (super Maryland accent): "Yeah, I love Lamar, man, but there was something about Flacco that I just love more ... just something I can't put my finger on ... . Man, I miss that guy."

made me think of andy bernard and his personality mirroring technique.

That’s a very impressive team. Where are their flaws? Goff is limited, I guess. That’s not really a flaw, though. He’s plenty good enough to take that team to a title game.

Ehh, no. There's a good argument to be made that they're the best team in the league through Week 3. But this is the NFL. Every team is flawed. The Bills are there at the top with a handful of other teams. But no team is far and away the best.

(second time i've used it within the last month.)

I saw the post and thought it was an announcement about Jarmo being promoted to some new, bigger position. I need to increase my Finn-fluency.

Wut?

I'll add my voice to the chorus praying for the Sabres to be visited with some random goalie excellence by Georgiev. Can we make that a #fancystat? Or does it defy statistical quantification? "Random Goalie Excellence" (RGE). Let's get it going. #RGE

Sounds like Helenius needs a Luke Adam Bucket Whack.

i didn’t get to watch. But Sabres Twitter was agog over Helenius’s game tonight.

are you trying to summon @Eleven? 🎶Lowwww bridge, everybody down ... 🎶

great town.

better yet

lol - as my 20-something kids still say: "it's not that deep." objectively - and i mean objectively - the Bills' Shout song is effing CORNY. so corny. but the timing was such that it took hold and then - thanks in large part to an easy singalong aspect - never let go. this swords of a thousand men song could fizzle or become a fixture. strictly from a goal song standpoint, either outcome would be fine by me.

I voted for it just so that the campaign could finally end. I expect the song to fizzle as the team's goal song. But who knows - it will all depend on whether the team's in the playoff picture.
