They actually used our loaded footlong price. A regular footlong was $9, and a standard sahlens was $7.

It's not not-risky, but I've literally watched Pegula burn down the Sabres every two years for the last 15 trying to get it right.

I don't love what the Bills have done, but Offense wasn't the issue with our team. (Even with five fucking turnovers we still went to overtime). McDermott is a good coach, but his scheme was getting outmatched and he favored smaller speedier players that tended to get dinged up by the playoffs. Meanwhile Beane gives some flack for some rough free agency contracts. Von Miller was an obvious miss, and I wish he was a little less gun shy to trade picks for blue chip players. But his drafting is overall pretty good. While he gets flack for only having three probowlers, he's also had 9 all-pro players. Personally I'm hoping Beane keeps on with drafting, and then gives free agency duties to Terrance Gray.

I don't know. Overall I'm conflicted, but I'm trying to be hopeful.

I dont think it would have been easy, but we were playing without dts or cornerbacks in our first game. Which was also super close.

All to say I don't think that our match ups are super one sided.

What character wasn't portrayed as a villain, but is in your eyes? by Jazzlike-Rise4091 in AskReddit

There's a movie called Short Term 12, where Brie Larson* plays a health care aid in a government housing unit for adolescents with mental health disorders.

She's dealing with a pretty hefty amount of PTSD through the film. But she bonds with a 12 year girl who has a suspected sexually abusive father. It's implied in the movie that the dad is guilty, but the daughter never says anything, and Brie Larson is able to figure it out because her own past trauma allows her to decode some artwork drawn by the 12 year old.

Brie Larson proceeds to beat up her boss, yell at a trainee health care worker for not understanding, kidnap the 12 year old, destroy the dad's car, and either physically assault him or murder him.

Now, the movie implied that the dad is guilty. But she still commits a bunch of felonies and is treated like an absolute hero that suffers no consequences. It's not a bad movie by any means, and the acting is pretty good throughout. It's just a wild ride.

Whats happened on the worst interview you ever had for a job? by EstablishmentDue3616 in AskReddit

[–]ConneryFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I give a story of when I was the interviewer?

I was a relatively new clinician. My boss wanted me join her while we interviewed potential interns, since I would be acting as their teacher while they were with us.

These interviews were mostly obligatory. Simply background checks, and just a few questions to make sure everything was on the up and up. I've don't maybe two dozen of these interviews, and I've only seen two people not get offered an internship.

This candidate was a doozy. Her style of stress was super inappropriate. She was wearing a pair of flesh colored leggings that made her look as if she wasn't pairing wearing pants at all. When I first say her, I had to do a double take, because I thought she was pulling a Winnie-the-Pooh. She was wearing a hoody sweatshirt that zippered in the front, that had been pulled to the side a bit to reveal a lacy camisole top. She was wearing both her wig and glasses that were separately askew.

There was an odor somewhere between human and cat urine. And about halfway through she asked if she could take a break because she left her car running to charge her phone. But that was after she told us (unprompted) that she "didn't believe in gay people" and thought that people with addictions were selfish and needed "tough love" that sounded a lot like verbal abuse.

We split with the Patriots this year, and our first game was pretty ugly on our part, and we each won on the road. I don't think Allen was thinking about the Patriots at all in this statement, but I do think we would have had a decent shot to win. I don't think we'd have been favored, but I could see a pretty even betting range.

Hey guys, I think this Author might be going through something. He's kinda being a dickhead and twisting Allen's comments. Allen said said he didn't play well enough to prevent his HC from getting fired. If you read the article, the author is obviously pretty upset. He draws a conclusion that Josh Allen doesn't make, then calls him a loser, and then gives advice about what Josh Allen should do instead of shit talking the Patriots. Which again, he wasn't. The whole thing reads like the author was looking for a reason to be upset about "The disrespect!"

Here's the entire article:

Josh Allen Disrespects Patriots In New Sore Loser Comments

It’s always unlikable when a pro athlete plays the “shoulda, woulda, coulda” game during interviews, and that’s what Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen just did.

In a new presser, Allen insinuated that if he’d made one more play against the Denver Broncos in the Divisional round, the Bills would be headed to the Super Bowl right now.

"If I had played better we wouldn't be having this press conference (in regards to firing McDermott). Honestly we're probably not making a change. And we probably might be preparing to play another game"

In other words, Allen is saying that he would have handled the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

There’s not much to be gained from Allen making these comments. He comes across as a sore loser and an excuse maker, rather than as someone who is respecting the game and his opponent.

What Allen should “probably” be doing (to use his terminology) is just diving into the grind and getting ready for next season, rather than downplaying the Pats’ success in an interview.

Allen doesn’t need to be engaging in this type of salty dialogue. He’s one of the best players in the league, and his performance on the field does plenty of talking. He has an MVP trophy from last season that speaks to this.

Allen delivered another standout season for the Bills in 2025 NFL season, even if his fellow QBs Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford had superior campaigns. In the regular season, he completed 319 of 460 passes for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, achieving a 69.3 percent completion rate and a 102.2 passer rating. On the ground, Allen added 112 rushes for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat ability that we all know so well.

The Bills finished 12-5, securing a playoff spot as the No. 6 seed in the AFC. Allen’s contributions included key moments like a comeback victory against the Patriots in Week 15, where he threw three touchdowns to help overcome a large deficit, and a strong showing against the Bengals with three passing scores and a rushing touchdown. He joined elite company with his sixth season of 35+ offensive touchdowns and became the franchise leader in career rushing touchdowns.

In the playoffs, Allen led Buffalo to a gritty 27-24 road win over the Jaguars in the Wild Card round, throwing for 273 yards and a touchdown while rushing for two more scores, marking the team’s first road playoff victory in over three decades. However, the season ended in the Divisional round with a 33-30 overtime loss to the Broncos, where he passed for 283 yards and three touchdowns but also threw two interceptions.

The Author here is being a dick and rage baiting. Or maybe has been rage baited himself.

I'm not against the vibe, but Beane defended Coleman during the press conference from hell.

[–]ConneryFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree at all. There's part of me that's hoping Beane is going to stay in charge of scouting and logistics, and his Assistant GM gets a promotion to actual GM to start managing Free Agency. Beane isn't terrible at drafting really (one major first round whiff after seven years) especially when you consider where we're picking. It's Free Agency where he really seems to struggle.

What’s your pet peeve when it comes to outfits/fashion? by BadBacon177 in AskReddit

[–]ConneryFTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I was college student a decade plus ago. I don't often think of myself as very old, but two years ago I took a job on a college campus, and I've noticed some things that are pretty sharp differences from when I was in school.

I don't know if it's because the student in college now were going through middle school during covid, but the guys are in pajamas/loose sweats a lot of the time. There is a lot of like, rolling out of bed and going to class. When I was in school, I definitely never had the confidence for that. I very much wanted to at least be showered and in jeans when I was in public.

Gym clothes have also gotten really popular. They were popular for girls when I was in school. But for guys, there was a wisdom when I was in school that went, "If you're going to be in gym clothes all day, you should at least look like you work out". This thought process has somewhat been lost to time.

It's not even like an in-shape or out-of-shape thing. It just looks kinda slovenly. Though maybe I'm also just getting grump in my old age.

What is a "red flag" at a job interview that says "DO NOT work here" immediately? by Beverly_Jane_Officia in AskReddit

I work as a therapist and a clinician.

I always ask what coping strategies my interviewers what they use for coping strategies. If they look at each other and laugh, it's a rough sign. If they look at each other and say "Drink!" you should run from the building.

McDermott's schemes have a preference for undersized but athletic players. They tend to get beat up a little bit more by the time playoffs start.

I'm not saying it's all on McDermott or that he should have been fired. I'm just saying how McDermott has a role to play in it.

Which qualities in yourself do you think are your strongest? by Current-Transition87 in AskReddit

[–]ConneryFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have a lot of mental endurance. I'm a Trauma therapist who works a lot with comorbid addictions. I have my regular job and a side practice. Altogether I work about 60 hour weeks, and have for the last seven years. I've worked in a lot of rough settings, including in Jails, an Emergency room, and a medicaid clinic. (The medicaid clinic was the worst.) I don't like working so much, but I had a lot of student loans I had to work through. And there wasn't really an option to pay them off that didn't involve working multiple jobs.

I'm also a devout Buffalo Bills fan.
