Unprecedented, all the other leagues are also dealing with Covid, which ones are using forfeits? I am obviously in the minority here....I don't want a free win, I want to earn them.....and I dont say that like I am part of the Bills, that is how I personally live my life.

The Bills win the Super Bowl!!!!! a win is a win? What are you talking about? Its not a win....it's ridicuolus

I read it, I dont agree with it, it's not the same.

I disagree with the bolded completely. I have never seen a forfeit in major sports, are there examples? And why not? Because its not fair to the other 30 teams

I hate the idea of getting a win (or a loss) by forfeit, ******************************************** There are other options, go by win % and play 15 games vs give one team a loss and one a win. They could decide what to do later. If a bunch of other games end up in this same situation, then an 18th week is more reasonable. I said this before the season, get ready for an unfair season. But I was figuring different teams would play different amounts of games and they would go by win%. Win by forfeiture is cheap and will be seen as cheap by the public. I say that with the understanding the Titans screwed up.....I still dont like it. And that woudl be fair to the OTHER teams, not talkign about the Titans....how would you feel if the NFL starts gifting wins to the Pats.

would you want that?

I think there is optimism for more than just making the playoffs. Frankly if they lose the division to the patriots I will be disappointed. This team should be able to beat them out but they still have to do it.

30 years ago the bills had played in 0 Super Bowls. There have been a lot of good years sooner than 30 years ago including last season to a degree. The other thing to point out is while I share your optimism....what success have we had exactly? 4-0 start? That happened in 2008. We have been “fooled” a couple times. I am not being Sully. Just pointing out we have a ways to go before we can really claim success. Let’s win the division and win in the playoffs. Enjoy the ride but we have yet to beat our nemesis.

The pegulas are gonna have to save up....,

pot calling kettle black much? Wow

What a disaster. No cap with young guys signed to new deals.

Today. They are 22-30 year olds largely. Brains are not even fully mature for some. They are not incapable of making a bad decision. Do you really think they are that special? I do think organizationally they are near the top of the league but any team could be the example if someone steps out of line.

Because Im a Bills fan and I dont want my team to forfeit a game. You think it's not an option for a Bills player to mess up?

Hopefully the Bills are not the ones that get made an example out of.

That is what you want! If he has to run to win fine run but if you can move the ball and win without running, that is much preferred. That is an element of his game that is good to have but only use it when its really needed.

I think they would be best keeping Dabol but it is not necesarily the end of the world if your QB is great. Another OC can get plugged in, in some ways it would have hurt more after last season, before Allen had made a major leap. Ideally maybe Dabol does not want everything that comes with an HC position and we can pay him more to stay OC. Dabol will get a lot of credit for "developing" Allen. A lot of people seem shocked how far Allen has come. So I would think there is a good chance someone will give him a shot.

Can some of the guys get back for the game Sunday? What is the extent/duration of the protocol?

I would pay to have access to live mikes with all the f bombs.

Their schedule to start the season was brutal. They are not that bad. In that division the playoffs are not out of the question eapecially with the extra team this year.

I would only really ding him on a couple plays, maybe only one.....the 14 yard sack was awful. the play he got injured on I also dont like....dont like him killing himself to make improbable positive outcomes, we need him to stay healthy. I know I am in the minority on this but taking on tacklers for a couple yards, exposing himself to fumbles and injuries should be minimized some. A-

If you ask me who I would want, its Allen for sure. But of course I am biased as are most anyone reading this. Allen is a better passer, I don't think you will find a lot to argue that. However you might find people to argue the reighning MVP who is 25-4 and finds a way to be effective is more attractive than a QB who throws better. Heck you find guys in the media take Lamar over Mahomes which I will never understand. It is great he can kill you with runs and makes you defend in ways you never thought you would need to but to me a QB has to be able to be a pocket passer when that is what is called for. I am not sure Lamar is that, but I think Allen can be.

If today/tomorrow come up empty we should be good........they should be coming to an end of their timeline in terms of the outbreak spreading.

He has caught everything thrown his way including one ridiculous catch on 3rd down for a TD that was needed badly and a nice toe tap on a deep ball vs the Rams. However, he is in about as good a position as he could be. On a team that is passing the ball well with three quality Receivers on the field at the same time as him some plays. Diggs and to a lesser extent Brown and Beasley need to be handled by the defenses as they are known quantities who can beat you. Gabriel Davis is the forgotten man, no double teams to deal with and no pressure as the top WR on the team like some of the other rookie WR's. This looks like a great pick who I am sure will continue to develop.

I have not seen this discussed much. The Bills scored at the beginning of the 4th to go up by 7 points, 23-16. A 2 point conversion makes it a sure 2 possession game. Hit the XP and if the Raiders score they go for 2 to tie, if you miss the XP and the Raiders score they go with the XP to tie... A minor nit in the grand scheme of things this year but I see no argument to not go for 2 there.

Miami will find a way to screw it up
