    I think this team knows how important this game is. 

    I think McDermott's been in their ear all week long about beating "the 1st place Patriots".

    I think they'll want to play really hard for Tre.

    I think the crowd is gonna be absolutely bonkers.

    I think the Bills defense will give Mac Jones fits.

    I think the Pats defense will give Josh Allen fits.

    I think the weather will impact the game.

    I think whoever commits more turnovers loses the game.

    I think the Bills and Pats split their series this year, the Bills ultimately go 4-2 in their remaining six games and make the playoffs.

    I have no idea who wins the division or gets the one seed. The AFC playoff race is as tight as I can ever remember it being.

    No seriously...  what do you really think??  😉

    Pace yourself my friend.  Still a bunch of hours before kickoff!  👍

    It's a lot more logical to believe there were two shooters than some widespread scheme to fix the entire sport of football. 

    Absolutely more logical - totally agree!!

     

    but... some folks really need an active conspiracy in their lives to keep themselves warm at night.

    NBC pregame show talked about how “the path is clear to a Chiefs-Patriots AFC championship game”

    PLEASE GOD let this be posted in the Bill's locker room!!!

    Some numbers:

    121 officials, seven per game, 272 regular season games, 1,800 NFL employees. 

     

    96 million views, last season's Super Bowl was down but still the No. 1 sports event draw. 

     

    $15.3 billion - 2019 revenue, by far the biggest sports draw in the country. The NFL has steadily increased revenue every year since 2001, with a logical drop in 2020 due to the pandemic. 

     

    While human nature is human nature — I'm sure there is some bad behavior on an isolated scale — but what would happen to this goldmine if widespread game fixing was unearthed? It would more than likely be a tremendous blow to the millions of fans everywhere. 

     

    Conspiracies take three things to succeed. 

    • A compelling reason to start a conspiracy.
    • A high number of competent conspirators. 
    • An ability to keep said conspiracy under wraps 365 days a year in a world where everything is leaked.

    While it is appealing to see Belichick vs. Brady, my instincts say fans want something different. "Anybody but the Patriots". 

     

    Once one's head is wrapped around a conspiracy, logic and fact will rarely persuade. It's easy to see trends that favor a massive plot and even easier to ignore trends pointing against it. It's why we, as fans, regardless of team, believe the refs are against us. 

     

    Conspiracies are easy to believe in. And they're near impossible to pull off. 

     

    The fact that you went to that much trouble to debunk a potential conspiracy tells me one thing.

     

    There's still a chance it could be true.... 😉

     

    Oh, and....  "back and to the left.... back and to the left"

    Ticket Holders — How to Dress For Cold Rain?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    The only way to deal with rain, wind and cold is layers, layers and layers.  Preferably topped off with something that will actually shed water / snow.  Getting wet down by your skin is what will really do you in.  Quality rain gear is key - somethign way better than a simple poncho - unless it's a really thick one.  Keep your hands covered and think about wearing some kind of mask or face gear.  Cover as much of your skin as you can - that'll help with the wind as well.

    Anyone else just feeling defeated upset by this weather forecast????

    Crappy weather games are just part of the experience of being a Bills fan.  Does it suck sometimes - sure it does!  But it really is one of the things that sets this fan base apart. Despite crappy conditions, the fans still come out and cheer on the team.  I think at times it actually motivates the players to see the fans suffer thru the same stuff they are.

     

    Will it bring out the best of the team on Monday.  Maybe, maybe not, but think about how you'd feel if you were a player and you walked into a half empty stadium - like Jacksonville.  Being all in is just what being a Bills fan is about.

     

    I hope the wind does down too - but can't control that part.

     

    Go Bills!!!!

    Feliciano back at practice, Star and Brown off COVID list...we about to get right just in time

    Dion Dawkins mentioned Star discussing battling breathing issues with him while he was away from the team. Quite possible, if not likely, that he's still dealing with after effects even though he's no longer contagious and able to return. I agree, I'm starting to think he may not be ready to go and if he does - he won't be 100%

    Maybe getting both Star and Brown back was too much to hope for.  Hopefully Brown's presence (and attitude) will help spark the Offense. 🤞

    This team ain't right without Tre White.

    They're going to HAVE to get right without Tre.  Can't do anything about it now.

    I think it might take a couple games, but Dane Jackson might end up surprising some folks.  Clearly he doesn't have the experience (or a number of other things) that Tre has, but it's not like he's completely devoid of any skill.  Actual playing time should help him develop.

    EDIT Now: Whatever Pats or Bills topics you wanna discuss Was: Bills (-3.5) vs. Patriots on MNF

    Every team is having to deal with missing players this season due to covid.  Every team has had to suck it up and run with the next man up.  We've done it a few weeks and with Dugger out, the Pats will have to do the same now as well at that spot.

     

    Hope it's just mild symptoms for his sake, but does it help our cause on Monday?  Of course.  No one in their right mind should cry for the Patsies on this one.
