That Aud Smell Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 The Bills should be fine this season. They may win fewer than 13 games but still be as good or better than last season. There’s some July hive mind involved in predicting the Bills’ imminent demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the summer I finally throw down a twenty for them to win it all. … and it's Josh chasin' Hollywood tail that sent me over the edge.

Or maybe it’s folks that have a good understanding of the game and don’t gloss over the obvious faults? I could say the same about the masses that say we are going to be the best team ever every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The evident consensus on the Bills being a team in decline with a closed (closing) window is one that arises from pro sports talkers and content creators, not sober analysts. I’m not sure what “masses” you’re referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I found just now stated his recovery is continuing and didn't rule out a return. That was the most recent report. That said, I’d be surprised if he were to return to his former role. Even people who make full recoveries from mini strokes sometimes report just being a tiny tick off for years and years afterward. So small a tick that it doesn’t matter in everyday life and other people would never notice. But if you’re a surgeon? A pilot? And, sure, an NFL play by play announcer? It may be enough to end that career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aud Smell may have more. You got the most egregious ones. The "WITH" added above is needed, but it leaves the sentence wonky. "THEIR" is also well-takenb, but it's odd to wish the entire family best of luck with future endeavors (like, is PSE wishing the Raccuias' middle school daughter best of luck in Algebra this coming school year?).

And agreed that the family thing is superfluous. Is Ron's daughter really only in middle school? He was a year ahead of me in high school; seems his kids would be a little older.

I don't know much about this Ron Raccuia as a dude. I am familiar with another Ron Raccuia - his dad. It is of course folly to hold the son responsible for the father's sins. That said, I was surprised when young Ron parlayed (ha) his Adpro company into a pathway to the top of the PSE org chart. My gut sense at the time was that Raccuia would be, as you say, a bad fit with the Pegulas. I don't get the sense that this is a true parting of the ways. I infer that the guy was fired. Past being prelude, we will hear nothing from him about the matter. 2 minutes ago, Eleven said: Is Ron's daughter really only in middle school? He was a year ahead of me in high school; seems his kids would be a little older. No idea. I was just spitballing. If he's that age, yeah, you'd think his kids would be in or around their 20s.
