  1. The civil trial was a different trial all together. You can believe whatever you want about Goldman, obviously he didn’t deserve to be killed whatever his relationship was. The new stadium will be an opportunity to clean up the WoF.
  2. The country was a totally different place back then. He was charged, went on trail and was found not guilty. When the jury found him not guilty the majority of the black community celebrated. This should not be surprising given the decades (centuries) of racial inequality they experienced from the justice system. The innocent bystander, well he was neither innocent or a bystander. He was there, he played a role, having an affair with another mans wife does not make you an innocent bystander. That all said, OJ should have been found guilty and his named removed from our WoF. Maybe his name will be removed once the new stadium is completed? What is interesting is how justice is viewed at various points in our history.
  3. Our game with the Titans last year was impacted by some key injuries to the Bills and the Covid related game rescheduling to accommodate the Titans. We will be focused better than last year this time. The Chiefs game win will help us with momentum. Road games are tough but we are the better team, better than last year, and we will prove it on MNF.
  4. I am thrilled by the 4-1 record and 5he progress. The offense is better with the additions of Sanders and Spencer Brown. The running game is better. Our TE has improved and is emerging. Beasley and Davis will be called on. It’s a very long 17 game season and we have lots of weapons.
  5. My complaint about the officiating was the offensive holding calls that were inconsequential to the play with the RB well past the point of infraction. The Bills got hit with several calls like this (10 penalties, 101 yards) that actually took points off the board. You can call holding on most plays, some of the holding calls were ticky tack. The DPI calls aided a KC touchdown but our DBs were playing close and feisty. What made the game hard to watch were the announcers, Chris Collinsworth in particular. He glorified Mahommes way too much. He made stupid comments like “Allen was mediocre” his first two years. He did mention that Allen was more raw coming out of college but that was it. Allen’s first two years had ups and downs and some of it should be attributed to a weak OL, the lack of any real WR weapons, and him being thrust into the games before he was ready. Mahommes, on the other hand, sat out his rookie year and the Chiefs were a playoff team when he got there. Totally different scenario and I wish one of these Prime Time big shots could explain this. What you should have seen in Allen’s first two seasons was a rocket arm, a strong runner, a strong will to improve, a guy that wants to win, and a leader. Yes, he had rough edges to clean up but that’s not the whole story. I think Collinsworth embarrassed himself, if that’s possible, with some of his gushing over the Chiefs and Mahommes.
  6. Yes, you are what your record says. Almost every NFL game comes down to a few key plays. The Pats* are also a late RTP penalty away from being 2-3.
  7. Gap control is important against the pounders. A guy like Star is really helpful. Did you see the replays of him eating 2 blockers at the point if attack. .
  8. Sanders is a big improvement at WR2. Knox is a big improvement this year at TE. We are running more to keep defenses honest. For these reasons Davis, Beasley, and even Diggs will have to be patient. We are not a 4 WR team as much as last year.
  9. The Chiefs monkey is off our back. We have a 2 game lead, and the tie breaker for home field. Lots to be happy about on both sides of the ball. Defense was huge and the offense ran the ball and put up points. Josh hit his deep throws. We won the turnover battle. Special teams were fine. We did it on the road in terrible weather, in a loud and hostile environment, and after a long rain delay. Penalties were about the only problem today. We played aggressive coverage and got called a lot. Beane’s off season moves look to have moved us past KC.
  10. I agree with the OP. Collinsworth made the game hard to watch. He said many stupid things.
  11. Keep it going. The defense has to continue to make KC work fir everything. The two safeties deep is working. Now we need more pressure from the front four. On offense keep mixing pass and run. Beat up their small defense.
  12. You claim to be an expert on how the Bills fans are perceived based on your knowledge from the inside. That makes you less qualified. I had a traveling job and was in both coasts, the south, and the Midwest. Bills fans are not looked at as negatively as you say.
  13. This is all pretty much crap. Stop referring to the few bad actors as the majority of Bills fans. There were a lot of great and gracious Bills fans then, as there is now. I’ve lived all over the country and have a totally different experience.
  14. If he is healthy. Otherwise Zimmer is a playmaker to have available.
  15. I definitely think we are better when Star is in the lineup. He can get it done. I hope Star plays like Tom Sestak, and our defense strangles them.
  16. I think we can beat them. I feel some really good vibes from this group. If we only win one of the next two I really want it to be against KC. It sets us up well in the standings, two games up on them and we have the tie breaker. Let’s dig deeper on Sunday and mount a victory.
  17. Diggs. He wants the ball and he wants to make a difference.
  18. Hopefully he continues to stand out and all this negativity toward him can end.
  19. Ever since I was a young boy growing up on the West Side, I have been following the Bills since 63 or 64. Tom Sestak and Cookie Gilcrest were the best guys on the team back then. Right now I think we, the Buffalo Bills, could have the best team in the league. It’s time to beat KC on the road.
  20. No faith in Mac to pick up 3 yards.
  21. Or … this is the end. They have a below mediocre season, Bellicheat retires and they go 40 years without a playoff game.
  22. Love it. Heartbreaking loss to Bellicheat. Good ending.
  23. Officials arguing over who to let win.
  24. Stop the flags and play.
