NI Bills Fan

Baltimore? Nearly certain I saw that in and end zone recently.

If only he could throw the ball too! 😜 We're truly blessed.

yes, fair point, I'm really just nitpicking. The main thing is we got him, now... LFG!!

Great watch, thanks for posting. The only slightly negative takeaway I have is that his (and his agents) reaction to the deal offered by the Bills suggests we may have been able to save a few $ and offer a bit less. However that may have opened the door for Cleveland/Dallas/LA so maybe not. And yes ... his dad is a legend already!

Im also 42, from the UK and the rest of the above about sums me up too 😀 My introduction to football was through the early Madden games, i knew very little about the sport until then. I picked the Bills as Thurman Thomas was a weapon in the game. I then started watching games on 'Channel 4' to see if number 34 in real life could match his Madden skill... he didnt disspaoint and I've been hooked ever since. The runs to the superbowls were great and cemented my fandom. However the late nights/early mornings watching those superbowls as a kid totally crushed me. When we finally win one my 12 year old self will roar in delight. My dad's sister lived in Toronto in the 90s so on my sole visit there i convinced my parents to drive to Buffalo and stood outside the stadium in Orchard Park in awe. It was May/June and nothing of note happening, but I'll never forget it and cant wait to make it back for a the real thing... which I'll need to do in the next 4 years of course. Go Bills. Wouldnt change a thing.

Thanks for posting... enjoyed that. What an impressive young man our QB1 is. So thankful to have him. Now... i know there's an old packet of pistachios somewhere in this damn kitchen.

I enjoyed the Phillips interview, I'm sure he'll be very welcome back in the locker room. When he was going through the team and listing the plus points (best QB, best safety duo, best pass rusher etc.) I genuinely wonder who he meant when he said 'one of the best linebackers in the league'. Edmunds or Milano? Anyone know who is up next and when? Thanks.

I use the Newsnow website which collates articles from websites (excluding twitter posts) and lists them one 1 page. It's a UK based site but I'm assuming is accessible worldwide. Here is the Bills page: https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/US+Sports/NFL/AFC+East/Buffalo+Bills And for NFL news in general: https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/US+Sports/NFL

I'll not be watching any of it, not for a while yet at least. Thanks OP for letting me relive some of the most positive moments though... 17 was indeed truly amazing.

I would agree with Gunner... the chargers game in 2018 is the only occassion i can remember McDermott officially taking over defensive play calling duties.

What is the outlook for the Rams next year? I would imagine they have little draft capital but what is their situation regarding expiring contracts and cap space? With so much uncertainty elsewhere in the NFC next year, if the Rams can keep the band together then they would be in good shape.

Will do! Watching the game live in the morning sun sounds wonderful... enjoy.

Norn Iron indeed my friend! How did you learn that local lingo from all the way over there? 😀

In my living room in Northern Ireland. 11:30pm kick off. (Was up at 8am wondering how i'm ever going to put this day in) Booked Monday off work. Go Bills!

Excellent, knew she was a Bills fan but never heard her talk about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oGowJ4K7dQ

I do this as well (the volume part by the way ... I don't text your uncle, nor have I ever met your wife!! - honest) 😀 I also sit on seat number 88 when watching my son's swimming lessons. On Saturday night i watched the game with my neighbor who is starting to get interested in the NFL ... mainly due to me talking about little else all the time. So, given that performance on Saturday night, I've told him that he's watching every remaining game of this season with me, whether he wants to or not!

What a night. What a team. What a performance. What a topic. Never enjoyed reading this forum more. I love you all!! Go Bills.

The blocked punt vs Steelers was a factor in the outcome of that game. Not 100% his fault of course, but he didn't get that one away quickly enough, gave them a better chance at the block.

I wasnt expecting much this game... but this is even worse than I feared. Rubbish.

Thankyou Doctor! 😅

Not unless Barkley has learned how to play guard! (cant believe this hadn't already been posted!!) Serious answer: There's no doubt Barkley offered Josh Allen lots and was integral in his development and his performance levels last year. However Josh is in year 4 now and a self professed student of the game etc. At this stage of his career/development, he should NEED a Matt Barkley in order to perform. Maybe Daboll coming back down from his elevated perch to talk to Josh on the sideline on occasion is something to consider.

Colts are middle of the pack with regards defending the run. According to this site... https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game

I hope so... really dont like the idea of facing Taylor with Star, Edmunds and Milano out.

its certainly a question worth considering after seeing how Klein played on Sunday. However, in my simple mind, I boil that question down to who do you want on the field, AJ Klein or Taron Johnson? In todays pass heavy NFL, and with how well TJ can read the play, tackle and cover etc., I'd opt for the nickel with TJ on the field over Klein the majority of the time.

Crosby missed another field goal ... another poor hold by Bojorquez?
