I would love to see that.

If they got married at Highmark Stadium, and just opened up the doors to the public, I wonder how many fans would show up?

Are we sure those are the Bills' players in those jerseys? It's kind of hard to tell with their helmets on, and they way they were moving, it looked like it could have just been some guys they picked up from in front of the Home Depot.

I voted the deep shot to Keon. If you watch Allen, and then the replay that shows Keon, Allen communicates to Keon, with one quick point, for him to extend the route, and keep running, and Allen lasers it to him. Amazing athleticism, and improvisation to extend the play, amazing communication between Josh, and Keon, amazing throw, and an amazing catch. But, if I were to vote on best play design, and execution-- the spin, and shovel to Shakir for the TD was art.

We just paid him $30M not to play here...

I think "blathering talking head," and "random talking head" are close enough to be included in this thread.

I was walking around the stadium with my son before that Chargers game. It was almost surreal how profoundly the Bills fans outnumbered the Chargers fans.

That number may actually be much higher. I've gone to every LA Bills game since the Rams first moved back to LA, but have never identified my team preference, and there are many transplanted WNYers like myself here. The Bills' players have commented after every Los Angeles game that it felt like a home game. And honestly, the Rams fans have always seemed utterly lazy to me when it comes to getting loud at the right time. When the Rams get to third down, expect SoFi to get LOUD.

That's true, but it doesn't make a difference. It's well inclosed, and there's no wind in there.

For anyone talking about "dream seasons," or "stars aligning," etc., please STFU. EDIT: ...respectfully.

I thought I was paying attention to things, but I guess I wasn't...

I hate those blantant shots.

I believe they're also allowed to carry scissors, if they choose.

Without apology, I have remained consistent in my support of McDermott, and the belief in his ability to grow, and improve as a head coach. And I feel that his tenure as our HC has affirmed my support. And while I do have a tendency to be a homer, I can truthfully say that I haven't felt this confident in a Bills HC since Marv Levy. Same goes for Beane.

A) I disagree. Retiring with a ring would put a perfect cap on an incredible career. B) I'm sure that he knows he will have to compete for playing time. I would be pretty surprised if that weren't the case, and if it wasn't made clear to him.

I'm saying the potential to get a ring playing on the team he spent so many years on would make it worth playing a backup roll for Hyde. That is no knock on his competitiveness whatsoever.

If he thinks he might get a ring out of it? Absolutely.

Not to change the subject, but I wonder what's up with Lewis Cine? Seemed like a hopeful acquisition when we signed him to the PS, and he's still there. I had expected to see him called up at some point.

I'd be more nervous if I were a fan of the Chiefs playing the Chargers.

I'm not really familiar with Al-Shaair. Does he have a history of this type of play?

I used to agree with you on Collinsworth. For years, I thought he was the A-list color commentator for good reason. In the last couple years, or so, I have soured on him considerably. I think he's gotten lazy. And when he just shows up and starts blathering, without doing any homework on the game, it comes off as arrogance to me. That's perfectly exemplified by his comment on Groot. Truly, he didn't know what he was talking about, but spouted off anyway. It's his (well-paid) job, and to know about the teams he commenting on, and it does a disservice when he doesn't. That's all just my opinion, of course-- and take it with a grain of salt, as I'm in the clear minority of people who actually appreciates Tony Romo's color commentary. I think he's the best in the biz.

Not arguing any of that, Straw Man.

I think there's a big difference between a dirty hit during a play, and elbow-dropping a prone player, from behind, with a metal brace, in the back of the player's head after the whistle. I am of the opinion that the league did not take those aggravating circumstances enough into account. Agree. Utterly dirty hit that has no place in the game.

Perhaps by the time we have to face then likes of Henry, or Montgomery/Gibbs (or, hopefully Barkley, or Montgomery/Gibbs in the Super Bowl 🙏), Milano will be 100%.

In context though, i suspect those tackling numbers represent a lot more WRs, than RBs. Our secondary had a tough time against Henry, and CMC, and even Achane. Even after the tackle, Henry, and CMC would drag the tackler another three-five yards... I think it's the balanced attack we've had the most trouble with. Achane/Mostert were running really well in the first Miami game too, and we destroyed them in that game. But I have a lot more faith in our secondary defending the leagues best passing offenses than the best running offenses, though I certainly don't have any stats to back that up.
