Bah! Because IMO NO STATE should have tolls. You already paid for the roads, as politicians love to tell you, with your taxes. Remember how every politician always falls back on "don't you like roads, schools and (used to be) hospitals? That's your taxes at work!" You already paid for that road! And to me, the thing is here, we aren't a thoroughfare to get anywhere. You pay to ride on I90 in MA because it takes you somewhere worth going, or to work. It's a major highway with huge out of state use. You pay to use bridges etc to get into NYC and NYS state, as they are major travel routes which get you somewhere worth going. Those tolls target out of state users on heavy use roads who contribute lots of wear that they don't pay taxes on (I still don't agree with that conceptually, but it at least makes some sense) CT tolls are largely only going to target normal CT residents. Nobody from NY rides 84 to MA or vice versa for work, or into CT. But lots of CT residents use the Merritt or 91 or 84 to get to work. So it's just CT gov squeezing more and more money from a smaller and smaller user base. No wonder everyone is leaving! (seriously, our work truck box truck breaks down once a year, or needs work. We rent one to cover the week. You can't even GET rentals around here any more. The trucks leave the states with the folks moving and never come back!.) I hope so. I'm a conservative guy but the Republicans here are largely clueless on pot IMO. Some of them still think Reefer Madness is a documentary. And you've got out of staters like Luke Niforatos peddling nonsense to scare people. So aggravating. But, as Yankees (the good kind, not the NY one), we persevere!

Ah! For non Bills games, I get that. I don't mind higlight-esque versions of games I don't have any flesh in.

My opinion would be it is so short of a travel time, you go home to your family and your own bed and practice facility. That's just me though, I haven't been a NFL HC in years.

How about this one....if you can't watch the game live, even just a bit of the beginning....do you RECORD it? My buddy does this with football and I am like bro....either the game is still on and you just watch it as soon as you can, or the game is over and you just check the score. I may be an idiot for yelling at my own tv (yes honey, I know they can't hear me) but I'd feel doubly idiotic getting emotional over ***** that already happened. I can't stand recorded sports. Live or GTFO. Gotta have the tension.

That was it, Billy Beanes. And as long as the business is still running....yes, I'm stuck here! ? (You know I kid, I love the state, born and raised here, love the nature and the people...I just can't believe the governmental idiocy. Our broke ass state still won't legalize pot--though anyone can just drive into Massachusetts now and buy it legally, and bring it back. But we WILL BRING BACK TOLLS!!!! Sorry, rant over!)

Use to be an OK crowd in Danbury...can't recall name of the bar tho...?

Basement 120inch+ screen also no one can hear my plaintive wails

I think we're better than the Jets...but they're at home. And what game is harder to predict than game 1? I dunno. Week 1 is crazy. I think winning is very important as it's an opener (duh), and a division foe (double duh), and seeing as how we're going right back there next week....I think being in that same visiting locker room before the Giants game with a W in hand from the same spot last week would be pretty good. It's certainly a more important game than, say, if we were at Dallas first instead. As a corollary--I hope the Gints get rocked by Dallas. NYC is just WAITING to start chanting for Daniel Jones. Start the controversy early!

I think STs could be what decide an ugly, low scoring-ish game. I like that the Jets have been looking everywhere for a kicker, and only just recently settled (again)--maybe they miss a FG that makes the difference.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/08/31/bills-didnt-ask-lesean-mccoy-to-take-a-pay-cut/ It’s not a surprise that the Bills cut running back LeSean McCoy. It is a surprise that they did so without trying to get him to take a pay cut. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the release of McCoy came “out of left field,” with no attempt by the team to get him to take less money.

Should have traded him when the Eagles wanted him last time. Oh well, hindsight blah blah blah.

I remember being surprised years and years ago to see opposing players get together to pray after the game. Think it was Bills/Fins. Was actually pretty cool and really put the "it's just a game" stuff in perspective for me. These dudes were just happy to have gotten through another Sunday in one piece.

GODDAMIT the one year I'd have been happy to open the season in the humid funk down in Miami....

I briefly got infatuated with these, because Starter was THE STUFF when I was a kid. I have more than I care to admit now (Including some weird commemorative one from the Bills/Skins Superbowl). Dammit ebay.

God I wish we opened the season with them in Buffalo. I think it'd be 40-3 Bills.

I know it's hard to drill out instinct and the want to make a play....but the decision to throw that (non) pick was a real facepalm moment. You CAN'T throw that ball, just about everything was wrong with that situation. That decision really bothers me. I can stand the bland boring 'gameplan' and fluke picks off Beasley's hands. Whatever. It's preseason.

Wheels week one gameplan: take a jog eat Breakfast eat entire Medicinal Chocolate bar (recommended serving size be damned) Bills game And from there we just gonna see where the day takes me.... SCREW THE JETS!!!

I mean Bon Jovi sucks, he could pick (buy?) better musician friends, but other than that, go for it ya old fart. Lot of guys his age look way worse than that...

I have a fever dream where our Ed and the D line wrecks their re-worked O-line, basically exposing them from game one and showing every team they should just roll over that line, leading to a long season for the Jets and Darnold. We win and they spiral into out and out panic mode about their line after game one. Kind of a best case scenario dream I guess. Watch it go the exact opposite.

Every sports fan i know, Bills or not, remembers him stripping Lett in the Superbowl. But if you said "Biscuit" or "K-Gun" to them, they'd likely have no freakin' clue what you were talking about. Legends are all relative I guess.

Probably because like running with the bulls or holding a firecracker so long it blows up in your hand (often involving alcohol) jumping through a table is just a dumbass thing to do. I don't know that it being lesser by degree or comparison to another dumb thing makes a difference. It's just stupid*. *Said by a guy who did tons of stupid ***** when he was younger, and still occasionally does. But come on. Some stuff in the Bills lot is about what I would expect to see at an ICP wrestling event.

And it didn't take long., and he wasn't that great to begin with. But I still think his mobility makes him the best short term spot starter, and I still think he is quite a change of pace from Josh, even though Josh is indeed mobile.

Just based on his mobility factor. I think that is hard to adjust to short term. That's also why I think it is at best a flash in the pan advantage.

I think Tyrod would be a good back up as he is a major change of pace, both from what WE do and what most NFL qbs do. Yeah that is hard for our guys to adjust to as well but I tend to think it is harder on the other team. Now, that advantage, is there is one, lasts all of maybe two games. Once they prep for him....meh. But as an IN game replacement, like Josh hurts his hand Q1? I think it'd HAVE to be Tyrod. As a more than 2 game solution? Well at that point it doesn't really matter IMO. They'll all be exactly what they are. IMO only Tyrod has the kind fo game that throws anyone for a loop, albeit only temporarily.

I was kind of thinking this myself. Philly sure wanted Shady back for a while.
