I’m hosting today and have somewhere between 15-20 I think. The last thing that I wanted to be doing was cooking during the game. I already don’t want to be hosting. I ordered 10 lbs of pulled pork and a tray of Mac & Cheese from a BBQ restaurant. I made a chicken wing dip, spinach artichoke dip and a taco dip. We have lots of chips and stuff like that. Also have 5 gallons of John Daly’s and LOTS of beers and trulys for all of the real men in the room.

He was playing quite well last year when he went down. Levi seemed to be ascending. I’m in complete agreement. He’s an average(ish) starting CB. He’s certainly not a disaster. Levi is the EXACT type of player that championship teams have a few of. He came out of nowhere, is cheap and can play. He’s found money.

I’m doing the opposite of being responsible. I’m hosting a sub-segment of the Bills Backers of New Orleans. I have about 15 coming.

Good thread @Ethan in Portland!! This is always one of my favorites. over - Morse under - Levi (a lot to pick from here)

It’s going to be interesting. Arians loves to go up top but has an injured Evans and a 1,000 year old Brady. At the same time Brady has won more than any player ever and is surrounded by the best pass catchers he’s ever had.

Looks like a good day to be a RB. Also, lol at people that think that “cap trouble” is a thing.

FIFY

Tampa - Saints for me...is Tampa for real or is this going to be an epic disaster? I don’t see any in between and that’s quite the opening test

It really is more 1 & 1A. A strong argument could be made either way. There were so many options that came after, just games that stick out.

Damn @eball are lists are almost identical!! I’m flip-flopping the best and runner-up though. The energy heading to halftime of that AFC Championship was unmatched at any game I’ve ever been to. It is the closest that I’ve ever come to a Bills Super Bowl Parade. It was a coronation and we had an opportunity to soak it all in. The Comeback was pure euphoria. I remember just strangers hugging and jumping on seats. No one really knew what to do or had any control of their emotions. It always reminds me of this 😂😂: 3rd place is probably the Lawyer Millie game. That was the last time that it felt like the Bills were about to turn the corner and then they BURIED New England. Worst - That Jacksonville playoff game stung. That building was deflated. Just like the way that the Raiders game felt like the start of something amazing, this felt like the end. Runner-up - That Willie Parker game I think. All that the Bills had to do was beat a bunch of backups and they were in. They couldn’t get it done.

How loud did you boo your TV last night when they locked arms?!? In all seriousness, hopefully your convictions are strong enough to stay away. It’s going to be REALLY annoying if a bunch of people complain every week about the NFL social justice initiatives but still watch the games. If you have a problem with it, watch something else. I’m sure you can find some old clips of Jim Jordan wrestling or covering up a sexual abuse scandal revolving around wrestling.

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader

They never were necessary. They are/were a cash grab. There are no preseason games in college football. In fact a few elite programs play what amounts to an elimination game week 1. The top NFL players barely play as it is. Preseason only benefits the back of the roster. If you want a compromise play 1 preseason game and 18 regular season games.

I’m hammering that under and hoping to lose my money

I agree to a certain degree. The guy’s KC has are just better talents though for the most part. An argument could be made that Diggs is more talented than Hill (not necessarily better but more talented). In general though Mahomes > Allen, Kelce > Knox, Watkins > Brown, Etc... With that being said I do not think Allen is a liability like those on the outside seem to think. He’s an asset and a playmaker. This offense takes a BIG step this year and ends up a top 10 group IMO. KC is just in their own tier because of their speed. There is no reason to believe that the Bills offense can’t be Minnesota or Seattle though.

Anyone surprised that Andy Reid is a plastic face shield guy? Me neither

I was just coming here to see who is OFFICIALLY done with the season. They better act quickly because kickoff is 6 seconds away

I have him on 3 fantasy teams 🤦🏻‍♂️

If he gives us the same production as Shaq did over the last year and a half it will be a good pick. They still need a young, athletic, edge rusher but that is in addition to, not instead of. With Hughes, Addison and Murphy, they are fine for now. That’s probably pretty high on the draft list next year.

I actually think the weird offseason furthers the gap between the 2 teams. The Bills return basically the same team and coaches. The Jets have a lot more turnover especially on the OL. I think the 2nd game between the 2 teams is closer than this one.

Not Shaq of the last year and a half. He was arguably the most consistent player on that DL. That’s who I expect/hope Epenesa is. If he is a dependable rotational player he will be a good pick. Play the run well and get some pressure.

Look at the Jets secondary and then look at the Bills pass catchers. Someone PLEASE explain to me what they see to make them believe that the Bills will face ANY sort of resistance? In “camp” they’ve been able to throw the ball on the Bills secondary which is arguably the NFL’s best. The Jets are possibly the NFL’s worst. I just don’t see how they can hang.

Good topic!! I guess that I’ll go with Gase at the bye week.
