Avery: Good luck with your Pats Thursday night. I will be rooting for them but probably cannot watch. Looks like it will not be televised in my area. Good luck. The Bills are pretty tough.

Sam, thanks. May not make it to the end of the game because of the hour but will record it. Hope springs eternal here. Many folks believe, with some good reason, that Belichick can scheme up a way to win. They did win a bad weather game in Buffalo last year 14-10 by slowing things down and attacking the quarterback (and making no dumb mistakes, a problem this year). This is the same strategy teams used to use against us when Brady was here. We'll see.
bdsamm They seem to have a pretty good quarterback now. Maybe that will help.
Maybe. If you look at his season stats he has 7 TDS, 7 INTS. He did miss 2+ games to injury and he doesn't have much of a line in front of him but when we get 10+ points behind one feels the game is gone because we can't score.
bdsamm Well, I do hope you slept through most of that. They did very little after the first quarter except for a field goal in the last few minutes of the game. Sorry.
I just watched the rest of it, mostly fast-forwarding. One bright spot was Marcus Jones reception for the 1st quarter touchdown, his first play on offense this year (kick return specialist) then he only has one more catch in the game. Don't know why. 38-22 min. time of possession in favor of Buffalo.
It's depressing that the next two games are night games, tho the Arizona game I guess starts at 7PM eastern which isn't too bad. Guess they are staying out there after to wait for the Vegas game.
bdsamm Do you have a required bedtime or do you just get too tired to keep watching? I would think a good NFL game would be enough to keep anyone awake.
Most nights I need a good night's rest so I can run the next day. But the X-country championship race was 11/19 so we had the next week off, Thanksgiving week. So the Thanksgiving game I could stay up, except I got tired. Last night I really couldn't stay up 'cuz we are back to workouts to prepare for winter season. So there is no really fixed bedtime but one is expected to show up next day ready to go.
Avery WOW! I had really forgotten about the running. That is some pretty intense exercise I am sure. I never really had the ability to run. Not enough oxygen. I would approach the passing out point. On the other hand, I have hiked up mountains above the 10,000 foot level but I do have to stop to breath. I also have made many trips up to the top of 400 + foot towers with no problem. Your running is terrific.
