This is where just about every defense runs into trouble. Just about every OC and QB says “force them to cover every blade of grass” during the pregame and/or half time.

Right?!? Hasek is at a Brady, Manning, Montana level of conversation. Nobody thinks Hasek is an afterthought.

This one is a win-win for Buffalo. With a KC loss to the Bengals our week 18 game @ Miami is for the 2 seed. Obviously you want to make the playoffs first and foremast, seeding is secondary. But it’s not like a KC loss ruins anything for us. It just changes the stakes for the final game. I get what you’re saying. This has also occurred to me. But let’s not call 3-2 any sort of major statistical advantage. If the Bills win week 18 then win the wild card that record is 3-3 over the last 20 years.

Totally agreed. I was focusing on the offensive side of the ball. That fingertip catch from Diggs kept that drive alive. I think they were looking to put up some Madden numbers on the outside with Davis and Diggs in a statistical slump and Cook going off. The Chargers defense got it right, the Bills offense got it wrong yesterday.

This is a road I am generally pretty quick to go down, but at this point this is basically playoff football for this team so I’ll take the wins where and how I can get them. That said, unsure if it was Brady or Allen, but the game was played deep and outside. I was really frustrated we didn’t get Cook, Kincade, and Shakir going underneath. Chargers were asking for it. A couple key catches from Diggs and Davis kept this one alive. Go Bills baby!

0-6 in games decided by 3 or less. Absolutely brutal for that fan base and locker room.

This is a route I’m quick to go down, but with 2-3 games left and “do or die” I’m happy to take the W. More than “Screw Pegula, Fire McDermott, and Beane is a bumb” rants, I think this game should have highlighted Kincaid, Knox, Shakir. But the team/Allen came out trying to win the game on the outside. That alone almost cost us this game. Luckily Davis made a few key plays for us.

Pretty sure they can only play one game that day, but I’d have to check the official rules.

Im not your buddy, pal!

Nobody but you is name calling man.

I will certainly back off on calling out the OP specifically. I get it. I certainly didn't mean any disrespect. The intent was some friendly ball busting on what is a really silly post. I can admit I took it too far. Apologies to OP on that front. It is OK to call a spade a spade without dumbing down the conversation from a very specific set of circumstances and actions to "see, streaming is bad. booo. hissss. Why can't you support your Bills brethren!" I was continuously responding to the thesis of this thread which was "I won't watch because I don't have access. And not only do I not have access. I refuse to get access. I am taking a stand against the man". All of that turned out to be hot air. Fabricated. The guy lives like 20 minutes from either of his two restaurants, where he already pays for Peacock. You have to see why that deserves some friendly ribbing, right? (Granted, I went too far) If the thesis of this thread was "I hate all the streaming services I have to pay for" the conversation would be different. Your shifting of the goal posts from a very specific set of events and actions to a very general "isn't streaming bad" is convenient at best and disingenuous at worst.

There’s a chance this game is win and in or for the 2 and 7 seed. If things play out like we hope I think this game is prime for Sunday night to close out the league year. Making the sun a total non-factor. Which would be an awesome way to end all of Miami’s home field advantage.

That’s fair. I may have taken it too far. I’ll step back.

What is the proper internet message board response for a guy who threatens to miss his first Bills game since before the drought because he won’t pay $6 for a subscription, only to have it turn out that he likely has not 1 but 2 subscriptions for the product. A product that by the way, he’ll likely be showing for a profit at not one, but two different bar/restaurants. And what I’m really curious about now is, does this guy have a Peacock Sports Pass (for business) or is he just using the standard consumer version?Based on a total lack of self awareness I’d be willing to put a good amount of cash on he’s using a single consumer license at both establishments. When you lay it all out it’s hard to believe that this is even true. I’m not sure this guys even a real person.

I’ve tagged him a few times. As the thread picks up steam it’s clear a lot of people are jumping in without checking. Waiting for the OP to log back in and delete the thread out of embarrassment. Hopefully he can provide us with a tagline so this thread can live in TBD infamy. It has a real “high level business meeting” vibe to it.

Process, culture, or whatever

Just a reminder to all the responses with “thoughts and prayers” that OP already has a Peacock subscription. He owns two restaurants, one of them a Bills Backer Bar. Not only can he watch the game, he will, and he’ll likely make a profit off of it. But OP also cannot figure out how to log in at home either. Sooo…there’s that. If we want to have a discussion about streaming that’s cool. But OP is most definitely not operating in good faith here.

Same for KC. Buffalo should think about making this happen just to keep him away. Maybe a strategically placed mat somewhere near Vons locker to make room on the roster.

@Nineforty You give OP too much credit. This isn't a principle for him. He owns a Bills Backers Bar where he already pays for the subscription. He is literally already paying for the service he says he won't pay for.

Found this visual on reddit. Thought it was super helpful. Big Cowboys, Steelers, Texans, and Bucs fan this week. If the Bills win the division I think there is a strong chance they come into the playoffs as the 2 seed. KC losing to the Bengals and Jacksonville losing to the Bucs make that a strong possibility.

The guy owns a Bills Backers Bar and already pays for the Peacock service at his bar. He 1. doesn't want to go to work to watch it. and 2. didn't realize he could just use his log in credentials at home.

Most of the complaints towards OP, at least from me, have nothing to do with Peacock. I pay for very little streaming and pirate lots of the games across a lot of sports. What I do have an issue with is this faux martyrdom, LAMP, woe is me, thread that is purely attention seeking, purposefully leaving out key pieces of information. The guy literally already pays for the service for the BIlls Backers Bar that he owns. He has access to the game if he 1. went to work. or 2. knew how to log into anything. I don't disagree with the idea that the NFL and streaming in general (sports or not) is a total racket. But the thread title isn't "This whole streaming thing sucks". The thread title is "This will be the first game I miss in 27 years. Thanks NFL". The entire premise is a bed of lies.

So 8 pages for this guy's faux martyrdom for a cause that doesn't actually exist. "I am going to miss my first Bills game since OJ Simpson because I refuse to pay the man" - Heavy Kevi "I already pay the man for this exact product to run my Buffalo Bills specific business, but I don't want to go to work that day. And also I don't know how technology works" - also Heavy Kevi What a joke.

The Ravenwood in Clifton Park outside of Albany shuts down at half time for the late night games. They literally called last call while there was time on the clock in the 2nd quarter. My buddy plays hockey around the corner, so the plan was to meet after his game to watch the Bills. I was flabbergasted. They are a listed Bills Backers Bar. I won't go there again and I tell every Buffalo Bills fan I know about it. What a crock of shirt.

The guy owns a Bills Backers Bar. Technically he should be getting the Peacock for Business, or whatever they are calling it. There isn't really much of a no harm, no foul in this instance. If he wanted to pirate it because "fork the man!", then go for it. No issues. But to come on here as some weird martyr where he is going to miss the first Bills game since the birth of Christ because....moral...or whatever...is silly. Also he isn't going to do any of that. He owns a Bills Backers Bar. He isn't going to close down for the Bills game. It is all for show.
