Buffalo- The land the economy forgot (and where butter is a vegetable)

Well, it's preseason football week and I am just too busy to write a smack thread so I have posted a link to a thread from the last time we played the sweaty slobs from western New York.  Lets hope for a good look at our rookies and for a clean game with no injuries for both teams.

Having now attended a game in Buffalo a couple of years ago, I will say that it's a GREAT place to tailgate and the fans are generally that blue collar, hard working and drinking type that we wish we had more of here. The stadium is in a quiet neighborhood but that doesn't stop them from having great little bars on both side of the stadium where you get to see things like Andre Reed trying to pick up chicks with his Bills HoF jacket. When they won on that last drive aided by Lukes boneheaded penalty, that stadium went really crazy, so much so that while yeah it sucked to lose like that, it was great to see everyone else there in such a good mood.

Wish I could be up there tomorrow as a matter of fact.

PS Their French Canadian fans are absolutely bonkers.

The secret to "authentic" Buffalo Wings is apparently you have to cook them in a Mailbox oven. They cooked pizzas in a filing cabinet as well.

Ah, post game down time

Why am on my side? Or on the ground? What?

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
