Agreed with everything. I visted once in the winter. Not sure why the NFL chose to host SBXXVI there, lol.

There was a guy on SXM last week saying the Vikings will easily win the division as Green Bay has lost too many receivers and also LB Za'Darius Smith (to the Vikings, no less), and Rodgers is too old now to do it all by himself. He also said he wasn't sold on LaFleaur being that good of a coach. He said he was puzzled why everyone was so high on Green Bay. I agreed with everything he said, and am also puzzled why TBD predicted they would win the NCF North in Yolo's poll. Green Bay may not even make the playoffs this year. Sad way for Rodgers to end his career. I don't think they, SF, and possbly the Rams and Arizona make the playoffs this year. EDIT: Well, obviously one of the Rams, AZ, or SF will win the NFC West this year, but I don't think any of them will be great.

Yes it will. But there is a chance we lose the game if it is held abroad.

Add to that beating Miami first in the divisionals. 😁 This forum is going to have a meltdown after any Bills loss. The best way to prevent that? Going undefeated! 😅

McD won his first game too in 2017. Let's see if Daboll can win next year at Buffalo (hopefully played here, not abroad).

Yep, the Bills took it easy on them in the second half. The Raiders were totally demoralized after the 1st quarter. They knew it was game over. Art Shell, the LA head coach, said no one could have beaten Buffalo that day.

Thought it was going to be James Lofton.

LOL:

Yep, great memories! I remember Bob Costas saying at halftime with the Bills up 41-3 something to the effect of: "The Bills are going to be hard to beat in the Super Bowl...and it WILL be Buffalo, because this game is OVER!" And aweomse play here by Kelly and Lofton, after the TD catch by Andre Reed was called back the previous play:

In my 43 seasons of watching the Bills, this has to be near the top. In recent history, the only thing that compares was th 2019 Thanksgiving day win over Dallas 26-15, which showed the nation we were a contender:

Giants and Titans. I want to see how our protege, if you can call him that (lol), does head coaching his first game, as well as scout Tennessee.

I like NFL Network. It's a 24-hour network, so they do have to air some fluff to fill in the time. But better than ESPN. I want football all day. Also much, much better than say "Inside the NBA on TNT. Barkely and Shaq spend so much time clowning around it's become a joke. And don't get me started on MLB TV. Weren't you a moderator on the old BBMB, btw? "Procol Harum"? Just wondering.

Comments from the Titans forum last night on their GDT: https://gotitans.com/threads/2022-2023-nfl-games-thread.103538/ "Going to bed. Rams are straight doo doo. Allen going to feast on us next week." " Welp, it was a good game. Going to be rough going to Buffalo week 2." "Bills defense with 7 sacks and you see the result, meanwhile our Titans got 9 sacks against Burrow and you see our result." "Titans better come out and take care of Giants otherwise 0-2 to start. Best pass rusher gone vs Josh Allen? Night, night." "Bills get 10 days to rest and prep against us. They're Defense is playing crazy good tonight" " Bills DL running over the Rams OL like we did." " Josh Allen is looking pretty good..Bills will be tough, especially when White returns" and on the oppsite side: "LOL.... Titan whupped bills last 2 times they played... rolling them once" "Good. Give them 10 days of being told they're the greatest team of all time. Vrabel and the Titans do better as dogs anyway."

One of the comments on a PFT article: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/09/08/thursday-night-football-josh-allens-four-touchdowns-power-bills-to-31-10-victory-over-rams/ "Best QB in football. Best D in football. Deepest roster in football. Titans watched this and are not focused on week one because they know theyre losing week two. Best fans in football." There also seems to be a lot of concern from about the upcoming game on the Titans forum.

LOL: Also:

Too many posts today to read everyhing so I don't know if this was posted:

Ok, I had a bizarre and intense dream last night, and I blame @Augie for this, lol! I was a player at the Australian Open (wtf? I don't even play tennis and am not really a fan), and NBC had the broadcast. We had an introductory meeting with all players in the NBC mobile televison control room Similar to Jimmy Arias and Jessica Pegula, I had never won a Grand Slam and was thankful Novak Djokovich wasn't there since I didn't want to face him, as I knew he would be tough for me to beat. They drew random numbers and assigned me to some other dude for my doubles partner (wtf?). We also got our room assignments in the dorm for the tournament, and I was assigned to the Memorial Aud in Buffalo (wtf?). Somehow, the tournament was being played in Saudi Arabia (another wtf?). Bob Costas (not Chris Collinsworth) and Marv Albert were there and were set to call the match (didn't @OZZBILLS mention Marv Albert in one of the GDT'shere yesterday, and I lol'ed at the comment? That's why I dreamed of him). At the same time, I was on the Bills, and we had just acquired Von Miller after Denver got him right before us in last year's draft. He then chose to come to Buffalo in his second year and planned to have us win the SB. Instead of Miller, AJ Epenesa fell to us in the first round since Denver had a clerical error on their big board, marking him as a pine player. With both Miller and Epenesa now, our D-Line would be dominant. Back at the NBC TV mobile studios at the Australian Open, it was late and I hadn't eaten. They had a pizza party for the players (and I actually commented about pizza here in that game day food thread someone started a few days ago) and I grabbed a slice. It was late at night and my doubles partrner looked at me and was like "are you going to bed? we have a match tomorrow". So I realized I had better get some sleep since it was going to be morning in Australia sooner than it usually is for me...then I woke up.

Sort of relevant to this topic, and not sure if this was mentioned in another thread after doing a cursory search here, but it was mentioned last night on the SXM live stream that the win at Los Angeles last night was Josh's first NFL win in his home state of California. The Bills did beat the 49ers on the road in 2020, but that was in Arizona, not San Francisco, due to COVID.

Once we have a future game in hand, let's try him again and feed him the ball to get his confidence up.

Bils record for sacks on opening day with 7! Previous was 6 vs. Minnesota in 1994.

I want a Von Miller strip sack for a TD.

You might not see it much this year.

No punts so far!
