I never blame people for the actions of family members, but after the water incident in Baltimore, I question why he’s being given on field access. Let the dude grow up a little before giving him more opportunities to embarrass himself.

Point well taken, divisional games are tough because familiarity can be a great equalizer. There are no guarantees during the season. It wasn’t you, but I’ve seen a lot of people talking up the Pats. They’re an average team imo. If we lose to them it’s because we played a poor game, not because they’re the better team this season.

Agree, I just think people are getting carried away with the Pats talk around here. I have no problem talking about the Ravens, Chiefs, Browns, Chargers, or even the Titans. I’ll admit, the NFL is unpredictable. We’re a great team, but there’s no telling where this season will go. I just can’t be concerned about the 2-4 Pats. There’s too many great teams to sit here saying the Pats are something we need to worry about. We could lose a game to them, we could lose to anyone, but let’s not turn the Pats into contenders because we need to “stay humble”. I just don’t get it.

I think we might see Jets Geno tonight.

Absolutely, but I also think it’s fair to say the Pats aren’t a really good team. It’s not the same as being arrogant about our team to simply acknowledge the Pats are a below average team. We could lose to anyone on any given week, but the Pats are consistently losing games, and giving up 300 yards to Davis Mills. It’s ok to say that overall we’re better than a lot of teams.

I probably wouldn’t mind that rule being changed if a guy taunts during the play. Keep it a dead ball penalty if it occurs after the whistle, or in the end zone.

I agree, but I’m not even taking the Pats being part of it into account. “If you don’t like it stop it”, is a fair point, but taunting and celebrating before getting into the end zone is too much. The only thing that’ll come from that is potentially costing your own team points. Every generation is different, and you have to give players some freedom, but save it for the end zone.

The NFL is wildly unpredictable. I think the Pats 2-4 record says it all. They’ve played good against decent competition, but ultimately they aren’t winning games. It’s safe to say they aren’t a great team. I discount the Bucs game, because Belichick has an insane amount of familiarity with Brady. There’s no way that didn’t play a role in the Pats slowing down the Bucs.

Not a Pats fan for sure, but I can’t blame Mills there. The taunting is getting obnoxious to me as a fan. I’d probably feel even more strongly as a player. Lamb couldn’t just catch the ball and run into the end zone, he had to slow down just to taunt. These type of plays have cost points. I wish guys would just stop. Celebrate once you make it into the end zone.

The Pats have a ton of talent on defense. Belichick as a defensive genius seems to be slipping away. I’ll give him credit for some of the greatest defensive game plans I’ve ever seen, but I’m starting to think he lost his touch.

Missed face mask call, but bad throw by Jones not giving his guy a chance.

Good point, in my market we got Panthers vs Vikings at 1. I have no idea why. It must be a Sam Darnold Jets fan thing, but then we don’t get the 4pm game that people would actually care about.

The Cowboys bandwagon is probably loading back up this season. Pats fans are done, and on to baseball. They’ll never admit it, but they’re probably ditching large amounts of tickets.

I’d love to see that game, but don’t have the NFL package at home. I don’t know why the NFL needs to force the Cowboys and Pats on people. Everyone says, “ratings”, sure those are big markets, but show it in those markets, and you’ll get the ratings there. The rest of the county wants the best game. People don’t care about the Pats and Cowboys to the extent of choosing it over the best game. I’m going Cards, I don’t trust Mayfield in big hype games.

Good point, but I feel the same about the Dolphins and the Jets. They don’t even register enough on my radar for me to care. Nothing that franchise has done in years scares me as a Bills fan. The Fish haven’t been in our way since the 90’s. Until they prove otherwise, I see our biggest competition as being teams outside the AFC East.

The attractions and atmosphere of the touristy portion of Nashville pretty much check off the boxes for every Bills Mafia stereotype in existence, so they love it. There’s also a ton of Buffalo transplants in the area as others mentioned.

Yeah, I’m surprised there aren’t memes with Crosby’s facial expression following the 3rd miss. He gave Bojo the biggest stink eye I’ve ever seen on a football field. I caught that during the game, and was surprised it didn’t catch on.

Security dude had to duck because Hurts TD celebration ball toss. Chill Jalen, you’re down two scores, and played awful.

As a Bills fan, I remember many tough seasons, so we know bad football when we see it. This Eagles team looks like they’ve given up. That’s a brutal commentary on the state of a team with a rookie head coach. That organization needs to start fresh.

I think they definitely will if Dak stays healthy. That’s the only wild card, otherwise there’s no way they don’t win the NFC East. Because it seems there’s a quota that 75% of NFL prime time games must involve an NFC East team. I’ve always found it annoying.

I don’t understand how people who analyze college talent for a living could ever justify drafting Hurts in the second round. He doesn’t look like he belongs as a starter whatsoever, and even looks like a subpar backup player. He appears to lack any skill needed to be an NFL QB.

I’m not sure, it pains me to say this, but it looks like Dallas will run away with it. It doesn’t look like the NFC East of recent years where the champ will have a subpar record. I think the Boys end up with a decent record.

Brady is still great, but I don’t understand his random deep throws that are basically short punt interceptions. Never saw that earlier in his career. He made the same throws against the Packers in the title game last season where he just blindly heaves the ball downfield.

I don’t get it either. Trolling needs at least an ounce of truth behind it, or be an incorrect sentiment that many people share, regardless of how inaccurate. This dude is really standing alone at this point, saying stuff that doesn’t make sense to anyone.

That’s a good take, but I could also make an argument that regardless of QB, it matters who’s catching the ball. The Chiefs don’t have great receiving depth behind Kelce and Hill. We can put Diggs, Sanders, Beasley, Davis, Knox, and even McKenzie out there. When Mahomes is up against other great QB’s, in many ways his offense is often at a disadvantage. Those risky throws are often catches with better receivers, and turnovers from guys like Pringle don’t happen as frequently with better depth at that position.
