  1. We've all watched enough sports to know how teams with "no chance" who are falling apart and everything is a mess, etc. suddenly show up especially against a rival or divisional opponent. If they don't the coach is toast. Miami could hit their stupid little moonball play but they lack consistency. It's like playing a guy in Madden who calls a Hail Mary every play. Once in a while they work, and if the score is close there is always a chance you get burned. All that said, I would expect the Bills to take care of business. But I do not expect Miami to just get steamrolled. The Jets are bad, but also their HC does not believe in the forward pass. That makes them easier to defend, unless you're the Steelers defense. Bills 27 Miami 17
  2. Maybe the Bills will play an annual game in Toronto but not have to travel anywhere else for international games? Financial benefit Travel benefit Expanding market benefit It's all W's IMO the idea would be that it would lead to a Toronto expansion team or a current team moving there (not the Bills). The Toronto sports guys in Bills ownership would then move over to that team as part owners. The last deal with Toronto was about moving the Bills there, 100% IMO. It just didn't work out because of Rogers death early in the deal. This time around, it will be about demonstrating a major interest in NFL football in Toronto so that the city can get its own team. They pay exorbitant amounts to the Bills for games, and in exchange demonstrate a market to the NFL, who then awards them an expansion team. Toronto billionaires were never giving the Bills money out of the kindness of their hearts. It's about the long stated goal: A Toronto NFL team
  3. He did that with the Bills to Toronto topic for sure. That's when I stopped reading his stuff. You know in his quiet moments he sits at his table looking out the window thinking "If I had just written one more article...."
  4. talk about the PERFECT September weather for a game though! Should be amazing to be there
  5. IMO it's the league trying to prevent a repeat of whatever Belichick had going on. I don't think it's anyone not trusting Brady. Can you imagine McDermott going to 8 Super Bowls with Josh Allen, winning 6 of them and after he retires he's banned from the Bills facility?
  6. The most interesting part this story is him not being allowed in production meetings where they show special packages and talk about strategy to help announcers prepare. The lead is being buried here. There are a group of trusted people connected to the league and networks who have advance knowledge of some key elements of the game plan. I seem to remember a team with a silver helmet and a logo of Elvis about to puke up his lunch whose head coach always seemed prepared for the other teams game plan no matter what. That team also got busted for stealing signals and filming the other team with covert cameras. That coach also is now persona non grata in the NFL despite "winning" 6 Super Bowls for the puking Elvis team. If I were a conspiracy theorist....
  7. I have been walking back and forth and just silently shaking my head "no" from time to time while letting out a long, sad sigh.
  8. The Bills will win but short week, divisional opponent, and desperate opponent could make it a 7-10 point win rather than a blowout. It's also possible Miami is just done and doesn't show up. In that case they implode and everyone gets fired I think. But I don't see that happening quite yet although it would be glorious to watch.
  9. Burrow seems like a cool guy based on the QB documentary on Netflix, as much as I hate to say it. That said, his body just doesn't seem to want to do NFL football.
  10. Brady will be a HC next year, maybe in New Orleans with Manning
  11. This game will be close. If Miami loses their season is over. Buried in the division and little hope in the AFC wildcard race. They would fall to 0-3 and then face the Jets, whose coach will run it 451 times on them for 480 yards.
  12. The Chiefs offense really hasn't been anything special the past couple of years. They play close games, rely on D, and then rely on Mahomes to make key drives when needed. That's such a thin margin. I mean, they have played in 5 Super Bowls already, so it's obviously been successful. They are a quality team with great coaching and some great players, but there's nothing about them that is scary. They remind me of NE back in the day: Brady, Belichick and then whoever. Not in the conversation a lot of the years as a top team then there they are at end.
  13. it's a fun segment where they can do the whole "we kidnapped Howard and made him pick the Bills" shtick. It adds some levity and humor and it's a nice reminder of what a professional broadcaster sounds like.
  14. home run of a pick it looks like! Beane should just trade 1st round picks for good players and then hit the draft.
  15. the Toronto people are inside now as part owners. IMO it was some cash but also a way to market the team up there. Toronto sports stars as owners helps a lot. So does Allen. Let's not forget that we have America's QB. This is an entirely different product than the drought teams epic march to 8-8. The Bills are the person who lost 50 pounds, quit drinking, started eating lean and hit the gym for a couple years. Now everyone wants to see them. That makes it more dangerous long term. With the amount of money involved nothing is off the table. Any "poison pill" to break a lease in a decade or so is just cash that will be made up later. And honestly, the amounts of money in taxes are so enormous that passing the team to kids is almost impossible now. Kids would have to be independently billionaires to afford the estate taxes. We should just enjoy this era of Buffalo Bills football. In the words of Mr. Wilson, "enjoy the team, fellas"
  16. How funny would it be if either Dickerson heard wrong and got it backwards or someone misquoted him and got it backwards? Like Sanders telling teams not to draft him if they had a QB already
  17. What's the deal with Landon Jackson? Half our DL are injured or suspended and the kid doesn't get even some rotational snaps? Also why is Samuel on this team?
  18. I thought Koo was good and even had a crowd chant every time he came in to kick. I mean he missed a kick. It happens especially early in the season when special teams are getting their rhythm down
  19. We'll probably play the majority of our games there, at least in the short term? Is that a misquote? Imagine that being said when NY taxpayers were just asked for hundreds of millions of dollars for the new stadium.
  20. I must say that I'm notoriously awful at football predictions! Lol
  21. In that scenario, the clock runs down enough that it doesn't leave BAL enough clock anyway, plus it gives the Bills a nice calm, clock stopped chance at the kick. Honestly, Harbaugh's strategy of making the Bills run out the FG team and possibly make a mistake almost worked. We left a guy unblocked who almost got the ball.
  22. it's about staking a claim to the Toronto market and heading off any other NFL team moving there or any expansion team
  23. Clean hit on Moore... Hate to see a guy get hurt but it's textbook imo That said the Vikings defender got his 15 yards worth on Caleb Williams. Wow was that a crushing hit
  24. Oliver was amazing and fun to watch! He also looked bigger to me than before. Did he put a few pounds on?
