He had a beautiful catch on 3rd and long to start the game...

All I know is what my eyes see watching a play with poor camera angles. Angles that only track the position of the ball. Teams are not running up the middle on the Bills and getting routinely to the LBs and Safeties. Is that Star or is it a combination of Star and Oliver playing better? I think it is both. I strongly suspect Weeks 5 and 6 will answer this definitively.

I don't think they need to pull him off IR immediately. Wait a week and see if someone gets hurt..

Holy locker room distraction Batman!

The case in point was Justin Tucker missed two FGs. And that dude is about as automatic as there is in the history of the game.

Kay still not on the Josh Allen bandwagon..

I was listening to Greg Rosenthal's podcast on my way home today. He was spouting some advanced analytics that suggested that a good super bowl indicator is teams that smash the opponents they should smash. My interpretation. The Bills smashing the WFT was a good portend, the Ravens kicking a 66 yarder to sneak by the Lions was a bad portend of the team's chances of playing in February. Not sure I agree or disagree, but I did find it interesting enough to drop it in here.

Beware the Ravens... They are playing like this with seemingly a third of their team on IR/covid. They have played three cardiac kid games in a row winning two of them. This is what builds character in the NFL. They are the toughest out in the league right now.

Sure.. Why not.. Next contract up. Market rarely goes the other way.

He’s an entertainer and he’s entertaining. I simply don’t get why people don’t see that. He sets his tiers up as a segment of the show. It’s intentionally controversial to get a lively debate going. He’ll be eating a little crow today because a good chunk of the top tiers lost and the fringe teams all won. If he had the Bills on the top tier, everyone would love the guy. But he is first and foremost a Patty Mahommes fanboy. If you watch him weekly you will see that he is slowly but surely giving Allen and Buffalo recognition. He still gets his digs and swipes in, but they are far less barbarous than they used to be. Josh and Buffalo need to knock off the Chiefs before he will ever give full props to Josh.

We walked in at 1115a. Smooth. Quick check of CDC card and Id. No issues at that time whatsoever. Stadium was completely full by 1p start. So people heeded the warning and left tailgating early to get in.

Should be fun watching Nicky Wright tomorrow... They were teasing him on Friday that the Chiefs could be in last place looking up at the 3-0 teams. He was having none of it, of course. This was almost a perfect weekend. TB12 lost, AFC-E outside of B'flo lost, Pitt lost, KC lost. Could have used a Titans and Ravens loss too, but I guess some teams need to win. Poor Indy. Their season is swirling the bowl.

QB Play Around the AFC-E today Comp-Att, Yds, TDs, Ints, QBR Josh Allen 32-43, 358, 4, 0, 129.8 Jacoby Brissett 32-49, 215, 0, 0, 74.8 Mac Jones 30-51, 270, 1, 3, 55.2 Zach Wilson 19-35, 160, 0, 2, 42.6

The other special teams gaff today was Bass kicking out of bounds the second half kickoff.

The afterglow 1. Went to my first game this season. Slid right in around 1115a. Stadium was full by 1p, so it must not have been too bad to get in at gate. 2. As many on here predicted, Allen returned to 2020 form today. He played awesome. 3. Two plays is all WFT had. A long catch/run and a muffed kickoff. And with those two, a 21 point lead was cut to 7 and the buzz was completely different in the stadium in the first half. But..... 4. The TD drive the Bills had in the 3rd was a backbreaker for Washington. 5. Give Heinicke credit. He's a slippery fellow. Bills crashed the pocket all day and he just slipped away, time after time. 6. You get a pick, you get a pick, you get a pick (well that one was nullified by penalty) 7. Who says Allen can't throw the ball in the wind? Who said that on here? 8. Great day in AFCE, Bills win and Miami, New England and Jets all lost 9. Allen's day had him re-enter the MVP discussions. 10. Knox is rounding into form. 11. Game ball to Oline that kept Allen's jersey clean-ish 12. Bills D kept WFT under 100 yards rushing.. Well done.. 13. Seems like once every week Sanders has one stretched-out, finger tip catch.

Mm Mm Milano. Sorry, I stuttered.

I’m going tomorrow. I’ll post an update. Our plan is to go in right around 11.

Early favorite for Buffalo's entry for the Walter Payton Man-of-the Year?

I would imagine a mid-January night game in Buffalo where the sun goes down at 5:00 would be fricking cold.. I'm here for that.

Barry Bonds..... oh wait was for ba.. and that was with pe.... never mind... carry on. pardon the interruption..

For sure. There is an entire market place set up to resell. The waiting list in Baltimore for seasons is 3,000 long. So if you want to jump the waiting list, you go to the marketplace to buy someone's seasons and their PSL. The PSLs are all sold out in Baltimore. No shortage of folks wanting the tix.

So I wanted to make sure I was presenting the correct info, so I texted my friend about his Ravens PSL experience. Paid $750 for mid upper deck at 10 yard line in 1996. Sold for $900 in 2016 So after holding for 10 years, they essentially did not meaningfully increase in value. Ravens web site says PSLs cost between $750 upper level corner seats (i.e. worst seats in the house) to $8000 (lower level mid field).

I pulled this from the Ravens web site.. Notice the language: In order to purchase Ravens Season Tickets in M&T Bank Stadium, the purchase of a PERMANENT SEAT LICENSE (PSL) is required. A Permanent Seat License is a one-time purchase that transfers the ownership rights of the seat(s) from the team to you. It is a contractual agreement between the team and the PSL Owner and, as long as the tickets are renewed each season, the ownership of the PSL(s) is retained. PSL(s) can be passed down to family members, friends, or sold to other individuals.

It goes with the seats. You have to sell it with the season tix. It's a use, sell or lose proposition. It definitely has value, but it is also an encumbrance when you want to sell it. Most people who want out, know they have to find a buyer for both. But things happen and defaults on season tickets happen too. And in that case, the PSL reverts back to the team for resale. This is how it works in Baltimore. I can't vouch for other teams, but I suspect it is the same. Read the fine print when buying.

So that was the theory pitched when the expansion Ravens came to town. Buy the PSLs, it's an investment. Here is the fine print... If you fail to renew your seasons, you lose the PSL (hence why I dubbed it the personal sucker license). The team could sell it to the next person all over again. My buddy bought the PSL back in the day. He did sell it for a profit, but after holding it for 10+ years, he made about 1000 on four seats..
