In the late 80's, I brought roughly a 12-pack of beer into the stadium, probably called Rich Stadium at the time. Me and my buddies took my little brother, probably around 10 years old, to the game with us. We made him wear an adult-sized winter coat with an elastic waistband. We unzipped the jacket, stuffed about 12 cans of beer into his chest, and zipped the coat closed. We told him to puff out his cheeks at the gate to look like a "very fat" kid, as he had the appearance of a very large belly will all the beer stuffed in his jacket. He walked right in, no issue. When we were at our seats and unzipped his jacket to take out some beers to drink, one of the ladies in our row gave us a very disappointed and concerning look. We thought she might call security. So we offered her and her husband a free beer, and all was good! Despite the many scars that kid suffered from his older brothers and friends, he managed to grow up OK and is a successful doctor in Southern California today with kids of his own. He remains a huge Bills fan. He even pays full price for beer inside the stadium. I have recounted the the story on this board before, but it seemed to fit the bill again, given the discussion in this thread.

There was definitely (at least) one to Knox, which was a very good throw, but an even better catch.

Josh Allen is must-see TV. There's no player in the NFL more entertaining to watch.

Wondering if it's AI generated or just a dubbed voice over with a voice similar to Campbell's.

I'm OK with this. Either a) he doesn't know the full extent of the situation and doesn't want to promote false information; or b) he doesn't want to give any competitive advantage to the other team.

I watched every game Bruce Smith played. The guys was an absolute beast and is one of the best ever. I love Bruce. I still voted for Allen.

I don't like how flexing screws the ticket-buying fans, but, given that I am in the West, I have to admit that I like the later starts. Opens up my whole Sunday morning.

I agree that I get those two mixed up on the field. They're not terribly different in size (both 6'1", Benford 205, Bernard 225), their numbers are similar, and their names are similar. Bernard often drops back to help in pass coverage and Benford often steps up to help with the run. Fortunately, they both make a fair number of big plays, so I really don't care which one is which, as long as they keep making plays!

Interesting interview. I did not know that Pegula grew up a Lions fan. Now I do. Terry projected well in this interview. Why can't this carry over to the Sabres? He needs to find his Beane and McDermott for the Sabres and let them to their thing. To add - Sabres fans view Pegula as a buffoon who has run the franchise into the ground. He certainly does not come off as a buffoon in this interview and he could not have had the business success he's had if he was incompetent. How is it that he can be so successful with one franchise and so terrible with the other? Again, the answer is that he has great people in place with the Bills and he lets them do their jobs. He's tried many different angles to get the right people in place with the Sabres and (it appears that) after all these years, he still has not found them. I believe that if and when he finally finds the right people to run the hockey team, the team will be successful and he'll be viewed very favorably as an owner. Let's just hope that the team is not sold off and/or moved from Buffalo before that happens. If you scroll down on the front page of Twobillsdrive, you'll see the Sabres comments and the first one is "Scorched Earth" which essentially calls for Pegula to sell the team. I disagree and think that folks should be very careful what they wish for.

I seem to recall Taron getting injured in the game last week. Does anyone know his status for this week?

I was thinking the exact same thing, but you got to it first! Not all of those Chiefs wins were epic shootouts, but the point remains that those were tough losses to take.

While they may not need to hire someone to do this, they should appoint someone on staff who has a brain to fill that role. McDermott is a great coach in many ways, but this is obviously not a strength.

I have not watched much Steelers football this season. I saw them lose to the Browns in a snow game. My impression of the team is that they're steady and don't make a lot of mistakes. Their ceiling is not very high, but their floor is very high. If the Bills and Steelers played and both played their best, the Bills should win easily. If the Bills were to have an off day, the Steelers would be steady and could pull off the upset. That's different from a team like Miami, where they could play well and the Bills could have an off day, but the Bills would still win. While it's obvious that the opponent has to be taken into account when formulating a game plan, the Bills need to focus on playing their game and being the best Bills team they can be, rather than being concerned about who their opponent will be. Any team they face in the playoffs will be a good team, to some extent. If the Bills play their best football, there's no team that they can't beat. If a team like the Steelers play their best football, there are still several teams that could still beat them.

I've made the same mistake too. TOM Brady has done a Bills game as a Fox analyst and TOM Brady has made other public comments about Josh and the Bills (typically very positive). When it comes to the NFL, love him or hate him, TOM is Brady. Joe Brady is either "Joe Brady" or "Joe" but "Brady" is someone else. I'm a big fan of Joe Brady and he's doing a great job, but he's just not the first person that comes to mind with "Brady" when talking about NFL football. That, and maybe Josh just prefers to call him "Joe" or Joe Brady just prefers to go by his first name.

Or a 1 point squeaker. As long as it's a win. (Except I have concern about the health of many of us if it's a 1 point squeaker. Not sure my heart can handle it.)
