People complain about the greed all the time .. but does anyone ever walk away?
I won’t be ..
BTW - rumours that there will be a Week 1 game next year in Australia ..will be two West Coast teams though apparently so no need for Bills fans to be concerned about it
Everyone has a point. I don't know where mine is for the NFL but I knew where is was for MLB. As a Big Red Machine fan of the 70s I was NL all the way. When they added the DH to the AL I said if they do that to the NL, it won't be the same game and I'll stop watching. I haven't watched a single Red's game this year. Don't doubt people being willing to walk away from things they enjoy if pushed the right (wrong?) direction.

Tyler Bass is the PS MVP so far.
Josh Allen is the MVP by not taking a single snap so far.

For me it was the Cincinnati Reds teams of my youth, especially the '75 team. Four of the position players that year would win have a MVP at some point and in '75 three (Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Pete Rose) of the top five MVP vote-getters were Reds with Joe Morgan winning it. They had two other '75 all-stars (9x all-star Dave Concepcion and 7x all-star Tony Perez) and rounding out the every day starters were eventual league MVP George Foster, 3x all-star Ken Griffey and 4x Gold Glover Ceasar Geronimo. They won 108 games in the regular season and the world series in seven.
Or the '76 team where the same starting lineup will have 7 starters on the all-star team, again 3 of the top 5 MVP, again Morgan wins MVP. They go on to win it all again with sweeps in both series in the then shorter playoff format.

Closest I’ve found is Stafford and Kupp.
Got me thinking how often is this even possible so I looked at the last 5 years based on top 5 at each position in Average Salary per Year.
2023: Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen (2), Stefon Diggs (5). 11-6, Won Wild Card 31-17 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Lost Divisional Round 24-27 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
2022: Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray (2), Deandre Hopkins (3). 4-13
2021: Dak Prescott (3), Amari Cooper (4). 12-5, Lost Wild Card 17-23 vs. San Francisco 49ers
2020: None
2019: Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff (T3), Brandin Cooks (5). 9-7
So in 5 years, only 4 examples so a very small sample size. Of those 4, 2 missed the playoffs completely, a wildcard round loss and our Bills last year which anyone who has read this far into the post knows what happened. So I would say this happens far too rarely to make a definitive conclusion that a top 5 QB/WR combo can't win a Super Bowl but I would have expected better overall results from the other three examples in the last 5 years.

Yeah, no real surprise. Who else is more important to the team they have control over.

If it was the boundary receiver, stripes might have told him he was off......
My understanding is if the player asks then the ref will tell him, if he doesn't then...flag. Sometimes.

I have been watching him close tonight. He has his best pop off the snap I've seen since the ACL injury.
He has looked better off the right side than the left. Leave him there.

Kelce is either 1) interfered with, 2) calling for a flag or 3) committing OPI on nearly every passing play.
Sometimes all three.

I want Dan Aykroyd to show up with a blender.

That is awesome, I'll have to watch that interview.

That stat is incomplete at best. How many games did each have? Not good by any means but if our Mr. Allen played more one score games then it isn't as bad, if we had fewer then it is more concerning. Also, in how many passes? Without amplifying information it is simply incomplete.

May all your wishes come true but particularly the one where you wish to host the Lombardi in a Bills uniform.
For those worried the Super Bowl window with him is probably over I'm just going to list some notable NFL QB's who won their first Super Bowl after turning 27. Included only NFL players that are in HOF and/or were drafted in the top 32. I excluded the first five Super Bowls because they may have won one before their age 27 season if they existed. I also excluded Trent Dilfer because he's well Trent Dilfer.
Roger Staubach - age 29
You have to give Staubach a pass I believe. Heck, he spent four prime years in uniform, including a tour in Vietnam. Not saying he would have won a Super Bowl earlier but it at least deserves an asterisk.
No matter what, Happy Birthday Mr. Allen. May you have many, many more!- 1

Perhaps Chris Carter can kill him off and end the conspiracy.
I have never heard anyone else mention but in one episode Mulder is watching football and on the screen is 80 for Minnesota, Cris Carter himself. At least Mulder seems to have a soft spot for us 0 and 4 types.

Was he a terrible person who hurt others?
If not, anyone who gave a positive reaction might be a terrible person
Cigarette Smoking Man was a horrible person who hurt many... William B. Davis not so much I am sure.

I've got a not Bills story, I was the OPS on a patrol boat in the Northern Arabian Gulf in 2004. We were patrolling on super bowl Sunday and I had arranged for a VHS of the game to be waiting for us when we moored in Kuwait the next morning. We made sure we didn't hear any news so we could enjoy it but I had the midnight Officer of the Deck watch before we pulled in and over the Navy secure voice channel someone blurted out the score. So I, of the entire crew (only 20 of us), knew the result. Screw Vinatieri. Oh, they also said to be sure to watch the half time show, lol.

So happy about this. He has been rock solid and baring something untoward we should be set for the foreseeable future,.

Peter Schrager is the epitome of a no talent chump who probably never played a sport in his life.
Bonnetta is also awful, and they already employed a hotter and better woman in Cynthia Freuland
I haven't watched ESPN in about two years, but there isn't one person I can think of that I would miss on that network
The only one I still actively enjoy is Michael Wilbon. I would miss him.

Hmm, who are they looking at I wonder? I hope someone exceptional.

Josh Allen, committed singles hitter (The Athletic)
in The Stadium Wall

Drawing a parallel to a sport Josh Allen clearly loves was brilliant. Tailor the message to the receiver and it is far more effective. They have been telling Allen this for years I am sure but compare a checkdown pass to laying up in golf and it clicks.
