This seems like a talking point. In what way is it a rugby play? And if it is….isnt a simple pitch play one also? OJ made a career out of that one.

Ya gotta love it when $12,000,000.00 is low risk. Who says the American Dream is dead? 😂

What? 1. We don’t have plays that are hard to officiate? Since when? EVERY QB sneak is hard to spot. 2. Boring? Really? I guess we can’t allow the kneel down. 3. QB is at risk? Then don’t run the play!!!! It’s a choice. 4. Unfair to defense? Right! We can’t have a play that’s hard to defend. Huh? 5. Your final comment is NOT an argument against the tush push. But, as long as you went there, why not allow a player to be thrown over the line. Again, isn’t it the offense’s choice?

What’s next….the forward pass? Outrageous, I tell ya!

I actually had that football card. Geeez I’m old.

What’s the problem with this play? I see nothing wrong with it.

And now for the poster who says it’s all about Owner’s greed. Three…Two….One….

I hope the Patriots asked for the shady side! 😂

Thanks! In this particular thread my pushback is simply that I see the current rendition of the Bills as REACTING not trend setting. I maintain that they had painted themselves into a salary cap corner and are now simply working their way out of it. We both hope it works. As sports has proven time and time again there’s no more than one way to win a championship. It has to be our time once….right? Go Bills

Shaw. I’m not the poster child for anything. I’m just pushing back against your hypothesis. Not sure why you take it as anything else. This is a place for healthy debate about something as trivial as a football team. Relax

Really? Who knew? The point is that it’s not a particularly intriguing National matchup.

I’m still not sure your analogy works but I’ll give you an A+ for sticking by it. The Bills absolutely went the star route when they broke the bank to sign Von Miller after 13 seconds. McD and Beane thought they were one star away from the promised land. It did not work. As I see it they’re simply reacting to that ‘mistake’ in a salary capped world. Doesn’t mean they’re goof balls for trying….but they’re definitely not some sort of a super genius duo.

Must be a slow Week 2. Even as a die hard Bills fan I can’t remember the last time I found our annual trip to the Meadowlands to be all that interesting.

Shaw, don’t get me wrong. I completely understand the point that you’re making. However, to date at least McDs grand scheme (as you’ve scripted it) simply hasn’t worked. Are the Bills a good team? Obviously. But the two-star team of Mahomes and Kelce have knocked them out of the playoffs EVERY time they’ve faced them. Let’s just hope we’ve finally outlasted them and that Mahomes/Kelce are too old by January 2026 Go Bills

How is a 1:00 kickoff of the Bills at the Jets any place for the networks top broadcaster?

I’m not a huge NBA fan but I think what’s being witnessed is similar to the transition the NFL went through after a generation of star QBs got old all at the same time. I remember a lot of NFL fans wondering at the time whether the ‘glory days’ of the league were over. Then, out of seemingly nowhere we got an entirely new set of young star QBs.

Fabulous We’re clearing playing 5D chess here.

I don’t have trouble at all Shaw. I just see zero connection here. Sorry.

Wait! We’re now referencing a completely different sport, that hasn’t yet reached its championship series mind you, to try and justify what McD’s been doing with the Bills, who also has yet to reach the Super Bowl? Really? I’ll chalk this one up to it being the dog days of the NFL offseason.

And I hear he’s still just 21 years old.

I used to carry around the stub from the game where we beat Miami to end the decade long streak. The face value for our sideline seats was $13.00. Yikes! I got a kick out of the County Charge on your photo. Erie County was apparently sticking it to ya for 25 cents to pay off the new stadium. Those bastards!

Yeah…but the PSL back then was brutal! 😉

So, greed is confined to the NFL? I actually think it's due to an utter lack of creativity by the Commissioner. He is, and has always been, horrible.

I still believe there should be one bye week for the ENTIRE league mid season. It’s done in all other major sports.

If you look closely you’ll see that the Divisions are all grouped together. Playing those six games against each other influences the strength of schedule more than where you finish.
