I mean if Herbert regularly misses guys like that 3rd down who are wide open. Yes, yes he does.

I haven’t watched any of the Chargers this year, but Herbert is basically a carbon copy of Allen.

But will you give all the profits to Firebaugh SD? To me that is the kicker here not the actual hoodie. Edit and Add-On: Please don’t reproduce this if you aren’t going to give 100% of the proceeds to Firebaugh SD. Most school districts wouldn’t have the resources to chase you down. Especially a small town in rural CA. It would be a really bad look for you, the city, and the fan base.

Right, I get it, to a certain extent. But I have also gotten a beef on weck, italian sausage, cheeseburgers, etc. at The Ralph. Could a new stadium provide more room for meal prep? Sure, possibly. But lets not act like we have never gotten better selection at the Ralph before. Or that the best fix is to build a $1.5B stadium. Not that you or Virgil is saying that specifically, but you have both eluded or stated that a new stadium would alleviate this issue, and neither mentioned much of another option or ask to resolve it. Which is exactly why it gives me pause. This is a relatively new or worse problem that wasn't happening like this in years past. As a long time food service worker, and somebody who relies on a lot of logistics everyday at work, I totally get it. It is especially tough out there at the moment for drivers and low wage workers. But I refuse to believe that La Nova's can pump out pizza for 70k fans, but the Bills cannot find a way to get any more food options in the building. La Nova's are the only ones who can prep food for the stadium in 2021? Sorta of mentioned you in the above unintentionally. I think we are on similar pages here. Thanks for your work here!

Great write up per usual. Re: Stadium experience, a few things: -I am unsure how a different open stadium would help Allen in the rain? - Why would different cement and rebar effect where Labatt Blue is sold and the stadium having more than just delivered pizza? This is relatively new and firmly falls on the Pegula's and/or Delaware North. The stadium is having some structural issues and needs to be replaced. But lets not confuse poor hospitality management with new construction. That one falls firmly on the organization no matter what building they are in. I am rarely a conspiracy theorist, but I think this is on purpose from the Pegula's. My tinfoil hat says that they are trying to downgrade the gameday experience to garner more support for a new stadium and/or get more money from the state/county.

Star has exceeded my expectations this year. The Bills were also 13-3 last year without him. Glad he is back.

Also, if you take the comment "I only get booed in Buffalo" and apply it to real life, it makes literal zero sense. Apparently the stadium erupts in boo's when Beasley runs out on the field, catches a first down, scores a touchdown. But the stadium is totally silent when he drops a pass? GTFO of here my man. (not you good sir!)

There is one thing you don't do to Buffalo, and that is take them for a bunch of idiots. I think the Pegula's thought they would rally the city to push for state funding with their thinly veiled, "pay for it or we will move" statement/not statement. And I think Beasley thinks he can try and get fans to unite behind him in a similar way by treating them like idiots and hope they rally behind him. This is sort of the moment he officially jumps the shark in Buffalo.

What are his expectations when he tweets "I thought Bills fans were the best in the world? Where did they go?". Like, I cannot see that ending any way other than people being resentful. Also, fans have been screaming "BEEEEAAAAASSSSS" Since he showed up in Buffalo, well before COVID or vaccines were an issue. Convenient he hears it as booing now. This is not going to end well for him.

This. Beas belongs in the Hall of pretty good plus a couple of very good years. He has been a great safety valve, but I don't think he is irreplaceable. I think McKenzie is more dangerous with the ball in his hands. And I think moving Diggs, Sanders, and Davis around is just as good as committing Beasley to the slot. Also, if he is looking to get out of Buffalo, he is doing a good job. He cannot reasonably expect to stick around here and go on twitter with stuff like "I thought Buffalo had the best fans in the word" BS and expect the fanbase not to start to actually turn on him.

Just 2 pages in, and this is wild. There are people out there, who care about the Bills enough to register and post and a Buffalo Bills message board, but have never heard the fans react to Cole Beasley making a catch or walking out onto the field. And not only are they just not hearing the reaction now, but they think it is booing. And not only booing, but only booing during positive moments, like catching a first down or a touchdown. And not booing during when he jumps off sides, drops the ball, slips on a route, etc. What a wild time to be alive.

WTF are you talking about? There is a Tim Hortons at every other intersection. When was the last time you were in Buffalo?

I have no idea what Philly's commitment to him is, but I have watched a little bit. The Philly offense as a whole is a mess. Hurts is talented, but is also making a bunch of mistakes that make a bad offense a lot worse. Kind of a Daniel Jones like situation. That said, I think a team giving up any first round pick let alone multiple for a QB who might not be allowed to play in the NFL going forward is absurd. So I am really pulling for an AFCE team to pull the trigger.

Country singers have been singing America the Beautiful at the opening pretty regularly. Luke Bryant, Carrie Underwood, and Faith Hill come to mind. Plus Kid Rock and Shania Twain have done the halftime show. Country is currently the 4th most popular genre in the US. Rock and Pop have been dominating all things music at the super bowl for some time, while rap and hip hop have been very much neglected considering they are the number one streamed music genre and number 2 in actual album sales. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/nearly-a-third-of-all-streams-in-the-us-last-year-were-of-hip-hop-and-rb-music/

If they beat the Texans they are already at 28 losses. They would just be breaking their own record at that point. I know I listed 4 teams they "could" beat. But really I think it is probably just @Bengals coming off of a big Pittsburgh win and/or the Falcons. But I wouldn't bet my mortgage on either.

On any given Sunday I guess. But it doesn't look too hot. Urban Meyer is an easy guy to root against. Jags Remaining Schedule: @Bengals Titans Dolphins bye @Seahawks Bills @Colts 49ers Falcons @Rams @Titans Texans @Jets @Patriots Colts Best shot of ending the skid are @ Bengals, Dolphins, @ Colts, or Falcons. But I don't feel hugely confident. If they get to Buffalo, I am guessing they at least tie the record.

The only way I see Brown starting at either tackle position (assuming everybody is healthy) is if Dawkins or Williams kicks inside and Brown takes one of the tackle positions. I guess in theory you could do it. After this year Dawkins would be in the 5-10 range for top paid guards so it isn't totally wild to move a guy with that contract inside. Williams would be cheap in 2022 and has experience at guard in the NFL. Feels like a weird move you make in Madden because of ratings, etc.

I am not in this pool. I totally whiffed. But in my other one, I went Pitt>Cinci. Week 3 and I am out. Effin-A. I am still a little salty about that one.

And Derek Anderson. But main stream media won’t talk about what a terrible teammate JA17 is. 😂

Taking both of their best years, It will take Josh about a year and half to pass Baker, baring injury of course. If he has a huge game this week, he could pass Derek Anderson and will most certainly pass his other back up Mitch Trubisky. Similar news, Brady will pass Brees this week unless he goes full Justin Fields against NE. He just needs 67 yards.

For the most part these guesses are easy. It is the Buffalo v. KC games that are tough and/or just picking the spread.

I don't know anything anymore. Based on the start of the season and how we played last year, I thought WAS would give us a hard time. I could not have been more wrong. I think we should beat the Texans by 2+ possessions, so who knows...

We are using KC and TN back to back as being screwed by the schedule makers? Bills fans have really gotten greedy with a little bit of success. Not a huge deal. You have to beat the guys you play. To get to the SuperBowl, you have to beat the 2 or 3 best teams in the conference in a row. You can either do it or you can't. That said, if I had to play two teams on the schedule after a "mini-bye", I want them to be WAS and HOU. We get 7 days between WAS, HOU, and KC. Then 8 days between KC and TEN. This is a nothing-burger.

Good post. Letting the season play out before I commit to anything, we have seen a rollercoaster with this staff in the past, but the net result has been very good. Re: The Defense. I think you make a good point. I think the athleticism of Milano and Edmunds give Frasier and Co. a lot of options. But I think the defense has played better when I see Klein on the field. I have no data to back this up. Just the eye test, I seem to see him on the field a lot during some of the bigger plays and stops. If I were to guess, in those moments, Milano is playing more of the role of the big nickel safety, and Edmunds has some responsibility taken off of his plate so can play a lot faster with Klein owning the responsibility between the tackles.
