This year, New England goes into week 1 at Miami when their last game was an epic whoopin in Buffalo. When the Fins went into New England in week 1 last year their last game had been an epic whoopin in Buffalo and they came out and beat NE. NE turns the table and wins this time. I'd rather see Miami win, and ultimately I think they will, but what the heck, I'll call the upset.

It just hit 8:20 PM EST on September 1st. One week from right now, KICKOFF

NOW the season has officially begun

This is the last weekend without football that matters until mid/late February. Only a few college games next weekend but I'll take it.

Dang it Keenum, they should really consider starting Allen when the regular season begins.

Same here, Sling.

Should Jordan Poyer try an extra point when we score a TD today?

Shakir!!

Big game, could determine the #1 seed in the AFC.

Jets are 6 seasons from catching the Bills' playoff drought. Awaiting their Andy Dalton.

Umm, Rod, I'm not that Jerry Sandusky.

Opening line makes a lot more sense now:

As disappointing as "13 seconds" was, that win over NE will forever be one of the most satisfying wins in Bills history. Back in High School football, I remember the days of Varsity scrimmaging JV and it was just like Varsity pummeling the JV team who just wasn't strong enough yet to be able to compete with the upper classman and therefore were physically incapable of keeping up with the Varsity team. That's what the Bills/Pats playoff game seemed like.

But COBRA Kai never dies.

Really sad for those who lost their lives and their families. https://buffalonews.com/news/national/2-kids-among-6-dead-in-montana-highway-pileup-8-others-hurt/article_dd8edc51-1529-56a5-9119-d7dcb436c37f.html

The super bowl halftime show was way overrated (nothing beats U2 from 20 years ago). Also, there's nothing wrong with Christmas decorations and music before Thanksgiving.

I've always wondered if the NFL could just do all the bye weeks in the middle of the season. Like half the league's bye is week 9, the other half week 10. Or, if that would leave too few games during those weeks, maybe spread it out among weeks 8-10 (10 byes for two of those weeks, 12 for the other). It seems like a no-brainer to at least consider but I'm not sure if the NFL has thought about it (tried googling it really quick, didn't see anything). There could be downsides that I'm not thinking of but overall all teams would pretty much have a bye right in the middle of the season. It would mean fewer games during those few bye weeks but you'd still have some to watch. Even during the week of 12 bye teams, you'd have 10 games amongst the 20 who are playing, which gives you a TNF, SNF, and MNF game with 7 other games to spread out among Sunday at 1:00 and 4:00.

For anyone who follows baseball, the longest active playoff drought in North American sports ever since Dalton hit Boyd with that incredible TD pass has been the Seattle Mariners. They are still behind in the WC race but surging hard. Next in line would be the Sacramento Kings.

On that note, we should all be looking into places to rent in Glendale, AZ in February.

I was thinking OJ would.

Thank you for this awesome game Fitz. Enjoy retirement. https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/310925002

In reviewing the reactions, it looks like I'm in the minority here, but I don't understand why so many people have a problem with kneeling to run out the clock. The opposing team had all game to outscore you. If you've gotten the stop with the lead and the opportunity to run out the clock, you've earned the right to just take a knee and run it out. If you get sacked or don't gain a yard at any other time in the game the clock will run so that shouldn't change at the end. I just don't understand why that is such an issue for people. I hope they don't change this because it wouldn't just be a bad idea it would be a rancid idea. The fans already got their money's worth. Who cares if they are leaving in the last minute or two.

As long as all those wings don't slow him down on the field, go for it.

This is pretty much what I was thinking. Him really butting heads with Allen or other players who just want him gone or some type of horrible thing he's done would be the only real circumstances where I'd want him gone. But I'm thinking even Belichick, Tomlin, Harbaugh wouldn't be safe in such extreme circumstances.

It's just nice that when I hear people going through schedules for other teams and they mention that team has to play the Bills it's considered a tough stretch. Up until the last couple of years, haven't heard that too often.
