The fans mostly watch on TV. Some fans go to games. It is prioritizing the TV viewing experience for fans over the stadium experience for attending fans.

The fact is, most people watch on TV. That is where all the money comes from. Ticket sales are just a drop in the bucket these days. So, everything the NFL does is going to be about the TV viewing experience first and foremost. Everything else is secondary.

Wasn't there a thread on this already?

Bills: 30 Patriots: 19

Why?

We are so incredibly spoiled.

Many of those guys are nobodies.

They weren't really decimated with injury. They were more healthy than in recent weeks. It was more like the Bills defense was decimated with injuries.

Oh man, Ravens fans will be throwing full on temper tantrums after they believe Lamar Jackson had the greatest game in sports history. And he didn't even win player of the week 😆

I always hated the Jets more anyway. They are a scummy team with scummy fans. The Chiefs are my #1 disliked team, though.

This fits with the Taron Johnson claims in the other thread.

But we've had big, physical receivers and TEs before who have not been good at drawing PI. You have to do a little acting. You have to play back through the defender for the ball. It's something you have to actually work for.

Red is one of the Bills colors too.

His voice sounds pretty similar, but he is much more of a refined speaker now. He looks so much younger, though.

He wouldn't throw as many today because offenses have changed. Back then it was about 5 step dropbacks and pushing the ball down the field. Defenders could also be much more physical with receivers. Put Kelly in a modern offense with modern dropbacks and shotgun and his turnovers would come way down.

Jim Kelly threw a beautiful ball, that's for sure. I remember admiring that as a young kid, and then later when we had other QBs I always wondered why they couldn't throw it like Jim Kelly.

I think Benford could be the 2nd best player on the team. He has had an outstanding year, exceeding expectations. He is a good tackler as well, which is big.

He also would have come up in today's athletic environment with better training, better sports science, and FAR easier rules for the offense and QBs, without getting his teeth knocked in every time he dropped back to pass.

Well, there are no easy games. Winning still requires putting in the hard work each week. But there is a wide talent gap.

You have to suck and then be average or better. It's the only way to win the award these days.

They've been a defensive team for two years now.

It seems like most players don't like him very much, maybe because of the trash talking? But tons of other fans of other teams love Josh. I've met so many who root for the Bills as their 2nd team.

No team EVER has a 50% chance of winning the superbowl before playoffs games are played. The highest you ever get is, like, 20 to 25%.

No, I don't know. There is a lot that goes into AV. It's so true. In every sense that Josh Allen is a freak of nature, Bruce Smith is double that. He was a true freak of nature. And I'd encourage anyone to go watch OJ highlights. I've never seen such a fast, powerful running back. It's a real shame his legacy went up in flames because of his horrible actions. These players are all before my time, but I really enjoy learning about the history and legends of the Bills and the NFL.

So, the Bills have to be trolling the Pats with the red on white uniform combination, right?
