I just hope the Vikings can keep Sundays game as close as the Rams did tonight. I would hate for us to get embarrassed again on national tv

At least this game is closer then the Vikes/pack on Sunday. I doubt we score 10 by half

Rams doing poorly tonight due to sheer intensity of Bills, but would still beat us by 20

What, I have a doubt so you want to bet on it? You just lost $500 again, good luck on Sunday, you likely lose even more.

Turned it back on in time to see Josh Allen run and do whatever it takes to get the yardage… stiff-arming a guy off him with his strength and plowing to the first down marker.

Wow rams in easy FG range but decide to go for it.

Kupp was short but the guard or center pushed him across the line. That was crazy

So if the Rams go up by 7 you still win right? Won’t happen, but you still do have a chance, like the Vikes Sunday?

The problem is they don’t know what diversity is. Mental and social diversity would be nice. Too many libs, we need more conservatives.

Many years ago my buddy in Tucson had 2 VHS tapes of Mexican rodeo. Every time someone died on the tape a skull and crossbones would show up in the corner. Those tapes literally showed dozens of Mexican cowboys getting killed in the rodeo. Bulls falling on them, bulls stepping on their heads and seeing them squish and explode, tossed into the fence, landing on head/neck, getting rag dolled, etc. Then afterwards someone would run in and grab them by an arm or leg and run out of the ring dragging them. No ambulances, no doctors and no stopping the show.

There’s a few ppl with only one comment. Some I know some I don’t. There’s definitely quite a few accounts of ppl we know and don’t know that probably just lurk but don’t comment.

Cant see who’s on lurking though. Only tells us their activity but requires a comment. At least from looking at it real quick

I won’t reveal any names but there’s more accounts then just the regulars on the open thread. Hopefully that continues to grow!
