  1. Unless you can block your location while using the app, I really doubt you'll be able to watch games our of the area. In fact, even if you can block the location for regular TV, I doubt you can block it and watch local games. But, doesn't hurt to try.
  2. Local station availability: With my account being in Rochester, everyone gets the Rochester stations regardless of where they are EXCEPT for things that they should not be able to receive out of the area, i.e. I can't use YTTV to watch Bills games when I'm in CA if it's not on local CA TV, instead I'd get a black screen and a notification that the game is blacked out in my current area. Yes, when I first signed up I was hoping that this was a loophole to watch all Bills games while I'm home in CA but no such luck. I also regularly (not always, but often enough) get a question when I log in outside of Rochester asking if I'm travelling or if I live here. You are allowed to change home locations once or twice per year so I always say I'm travelling. YTTV then responds, "Enjoy You Tube TV while you're travelling!"
  3. I switched to YTTV around 30 months ago and have been very happy with it (mostly). You can share with I believe five family members. I signed up at my father's house in Rochester. I also had it at my apartment outside of Syracuse and my house in California. I log in with my own login for six different TVs and have recently started switching to using a Firestick on some because it seems to stream better via Firestick than via my Visio TVs. My father, wife, daughter (in Wisconsin) and son (in San Diego) all use YTTV on my account. The only thing is, every three months I need to log into each account from Rochester. So, for my son and daughter, I had set them up with a new gmail account only to use as their YTTV account so I don't get their emails and calendar notices. I have all of the accounts on my phone and I log in when I'm at my father's house. Someone above had mentioned that you need a good internet connection. For my apartment outside Syracuse, I have the lowest plan that Verizon offered and I had fantastic service. I actually had much worse reception at my father's house which had a faster internet. I think that was based on the TV and that's why I got a Firestick for there. Unfortunately, I got this after the season was over so I couldn't do a one to one comparison. But, at his house, even though I had no issues with Prime Video for movies or shows, for NFL games they were completely unwatchable and in some cases would just freeze up completely using the Visio Smart TV. With my laptop, I watched with no problems. As I said, my expectation was the Firestick would improve the ability to watch on his TV without needing to cast from my laptop.
  4. Brady must be H.
  5. I can't believe Alpha is saying Stevie was overrated. You can't ignore or rationalize away 3 straight 1000 yard seasons, a feat that Reed, Moulds, or anyone not named Diggs has done for the Bills! And, he was fun during a pretty dismal time for us as fans. Why so serious!
  6. I have no idea if we will get him but I think he will be traded by draft day. AZ wants picks. To say it would have happened already if it was going to is wrong imo. The only date that matters is 4/27, draft day. Similar to Rogers, if both the team and player want it, it will happen. Of course it's not the same as a QB is not the same as a WR. That being said, the Bills aren't in with the current contract unless AZ eats some of it. That will likely happen 9n draft day when there are no better offers.
  7. Yesterday afternoon I was listening to Sirius XM NFL radio when they were interviewing a Patriots beat reporter about this issue and the Kraft / Bellicheat / Mac Jones (and more) relationships. It was pure pleasure to listen to. One of the points brought up were that almost no coach would have an issue with a young player talking to his college coaches to get some advice / help, but to the Cheater this was a major transgression. They also discussed all of the issues Kraft has had lately with Bellicheat. The fact that Kraft allowed him to talk him into giving Brady a one year deal when Kraft and Brady had basically agreed on two years; then Brady leaves after the year and wins a Super Bowl. That didn't go over well with Kraft. Allowing Bellicheat to go without a "real" OC last year with horrible results. And of course, recent draft issues. He basically was saying that Kraft is about ready to move on if this is another down year but not sure how it would play out specifically because Cheater wants to break Shula's win record. He's 18 total behind Shula now (includes playoffs) so it will mean two or three more seasons.
  8. Don't forget with 17 games, year to year we will be going back and forth between 8 and 9 regular season home games (ignoring games at neutral sites). So, we'll have 8 regular season home games next year and 8 again the year after. The 2025 season will then have 9 games if we don't have any neutral site games. One thing I've noticed that seems quite weird is the cost of each individual game ticket from the season ticket package. It wasn't obvious anywhere except if you pull up each game individual ticket from your account. There is a number on it without a dollar sign. For my seats, it was either 75.5 (preseason games), 142 (Vikings, Jets, Dolphins, Patriots), or 164 (Titans, Steelers, Packers, Browns). I wasn't even positive that they were the prices since it would be so easy for all regular season games to have been $153. But, it was confirmed to be the face value when I was credited $164/ticket for the Browns game.
  9. Unfortunately for Vontae, he didn't quit early enough in his clubbing escapades last night. He should have quit at halftime (one drink instead of two?). "Former NFL Pro Bowler Vontae Davis was arrested for driving under the influence in South Florida on Saturday, according to Broward County arrest records. Davis, 34, reportedly crashed his vehicle into a disabled car on the side of the highway, which hit a person next to it, according to talk-show host Andy Slater. When police arrived at the scene, they reportedly found Davis asleep on the side of the road. Slater adds that Davis told police he had "two mixed drinks and was coming from a club." He also told them he was tired when asked why he was sleeping on the side of the road when found. The person hit was taken to the hospital with "multiple injuries." https://www.foxnews.com/sports/former-nfl-pro-bowler-vontae-davis-arrested-dui-florida-report
  10. Correct. My prediction is Sundat 4:25 so Bills and Chiefs are at the same time. If Bills lose this week then Bengals will be the same time too.
  11. First of all, I don't believe anything Rex says so I really doubt this happened. Secondly, one of the few good things Rex did was bring in Tyrod and have him start. Although not that good, he was far better than Geno or EJ. Tyrod started in 2015 through 2017 for the Bills.
  12. Although hoping I was wrong, I didn't expect Tre to be back to close to his old self until late next season. It seems to me that most ACL injuries, even though players come back in one year, it takes two years to be back to close to their old level.
  13. I'm quite confident that at all (or at least almost all) NFL stadiums the vast majority of people will be civil but there will always be some that will be complete jerks and even some that could be dangerous to be near if you're an opposing fan. I know of people that were harassed in Buffalo at games and even a friend on crutches that's a Dolfish fan that someone took a running start at to knock him down; fortunately my friend's 220 lb son got in the way and knocked the jerk over before he got there. I've been to away games in NJ (Jets), NE, AZ (both old and current stadium), San Diego a few times, LA (old stadium a few years ago and So Fi this year), and San Francisco. I've always worn my Bills gear and never once have had any issues. If you're unlucky enough to be near one of the jerks, the game will suck for you. Probably the closest I've come to being harassed was going to a Broncos / Lambs game in Anaheim the last year before they moved to St. Louis. The only non-Bills game I've ever been to. I wore all Bills gear and the guy taking tickets at the entrance said, "You do realize the Bills aren't playing here today." Obviously, that wasn't really harassing me but it was funny.
  14. I missed it. What was it for? Tried googling but didn't find it.
  15. I remember reading shortly after the game that the home team decides if extra equipment such as cooling benches will be used. If they say no, then neither team can have them. Can't remember or confirm the source.
  16. I don't see that he's been activated from the practice squad. Buffalobills.com was updated with Von Miller going on IR, but doesn't show any PS activations.
  17. There is no longer a "doubtful" designation. There is "questionable" and "out". And, of course Josh is currently questionable. Looked for the link to show the rules, couldn't find it. But, I know I heard it on WGR the other day and looking at the injury report, those are the only two used anywhere so I'm quite sure it's correct.
  18. Right before the "sliding" quote from Diggs, Josh was chanting "jockstrap, jockstrap". On a Dawson Knox interview someone posted earlier in the week he was asked what they think about Josh hurdling and Knox' response was that they make promises to do embarrassing things to get Josh to slide and his example was that he (or someone else?) promised to run around practice only wearing his jockstrap if Josh slides.
  19. Hey OP. Since when is 66 an "old man"?
  20. I remember the 1993 season (had to Google the year, my memory isn't THAT good) when the NFL expanded to 18 weeks giving each team two byes. There were teams on bye every week of the season, even weeks 1 and week 18. There were SEVERAL weeks that the games just completely sucked! Pretty sure that's why they only had it the one year. "The double byes are a double disaster," then-Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King wrote in 1993. "... The bonehead result was that there were as few as 10 games per weekend through the first two months of the season, not 14. Fewer games, fewer chances for good games, obviously. Another by-product of the double bye: With so much time off between games, teams fall out of sync."
  21. He claimed he "felt horrible immediately." Well, if this were true, why didn't he go back to the guy, check to see that he's ok, and, if still on the ground help him up. Besides the obvious that was already pointed out, that this apology was on social media instead of reaching out to him directly, bs, fine the crap out of him and suspend him.
  22. We'll see. I tend to think that when he's healthy, if a team that has a realistic chance to make a deep playoff run wants him and he expects to get significant targets, he'll go for it.
  23. In 3.25 seasons, a total of 447 yards, best season 2020 with 21 receptions for 224 yards. Last season, with the #1 receiver out much of the year, he had 1 reception for 13 yards. As someone said above, who do we cut to make room for him? Taking AZs trash isn't a winning strategy. https://www.google.com/search?q=andy+isabella+stats&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS919US919&oq=andy+isabella+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i131i433i512l6j69i60.8427j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  24. Considering they started on the 20 yard line and Motor could have scored if he didn't give himself up (and even if he was stopped short Josh would have scored after), and if the Ravens kicked a FG the Bills likely would have started at or around the 25, it seems extremely likely Josh drives for a TD.
  25. I don't think we can assume McKenzie is out. Conclusions come in all levels of severity. I read on this board he's doing his show today which implies it's likely not severe. And hopefully Davis will be better with resting most of the week. Othersise, Hodgkins or Austin it is.
