    Snowballs - fair game if aimed at Dolphins bench?

    Because 95% of the people at the game are Bills fans. You’re right, this is just a Bills mafia thing, this would definitely happen at any stadium, but it’s still embarrassing. I heard them say on the radio this morning that there were ice balls found on the field and they were also finding beer caps in the snow balls. Don’t know if that’s true as that’s the first I heard it, but it wouldn’t surprise me

    It was not a good look.  I understand there's a lot of snow in the stands and there are bound to be some snowballs thrown.  But keep them in the stands; don't direct them at the field or worse, at opposing players on the field or on their bench.  I sure would hate to see this behavior in a playoff game - it's a sure way to have viewers get a bad taste in their mouths about Bills fans.   Which is sad because Bills Mafia does so much good and that normally gets positive attention.   

     

    Put aside the heat thing in Miami (which was not something Dolphins fans "did" to us) and think about how you'd feel about fans in another city bombarding the Bills as they sat on the bench or tried to make plays on the field.

    Watching Tua trying to throw the ball with "The Hawk" in effect tonight and the cross-winds that are a nightmare especially for QBs not familiar with them will be hilarious. Expecting a few balls that drift off course directly to Bills defenders...I mean he threw a pick 6 straight to Milano that was dropped in the first game 

    In the last Phins game I watched the announcers talked a lot about how Tua throws the soft ball, with a lot of arc, and that the benefit was he could throw safely over defenders at the line and others not directly on the receiver.  They mentioned he rarely threw balls with zip.   We'll see how well that plays if the winds get a whippin!

    Their D looks pretty impressive.  With a conservative game manager type QB they could go deep into the playoffs.  He's looked like more than just a game manager the first 2 games.   A big question for me will be if they get into the playoffs, will he wilt under the pressure of it all, or keep playing with the confidence he's been showing?

    Pretty sure they wore blue on blue for Dallas. At the very least it was blue on white 

    I know you're all past this point, but for sure it was blue on blue.  My avatar is Josh getting the first down on a fourth down keeper play in that Dallas game and you can see the blue on blue.  Josh was not going to be denied on that play, and right then it became obvious to me that we had secured a hell of a QB - he won me over with his grit.

    I remember climbing around on the tops of 2 story houses in our neighborhood from the drifts.  There was an open area down the road from my neighborhood the drifts reached the tops of telephone poles.  At the time it was just no school / fun time - never really fully appreciated in the moment how incredible it was

    Ah yes, that was quite a storm.  These are a couple of pictures I took near my Aunt's house in Town of Tonawanda.  It seems like this snowfall that's going on now is going to top that one!

    Not gonna lie. I kinda miss the snow storms. If we get 2 inches here in Cincinnati, they close the schools and there is a run on milk and eggs at Kroger. 

    Here in Atlanta they've closed the schools with no snow on the ground just because the forecast called for snow the next morning.  Often it never came and schools were closed anyway.😆.  And of course the same run on milk and eggs.

    I mean…..speaking honestly here. JA has to be completely out of the running for MVP. He would have to have some monstrous remaining games through the rest of the year and Pat Mahomes would have to break his leg. 

    Who the F gives a crap about whether Josh Allen gets MVP?  I'm kind of sick about hearing all that talk.  We need to win games and championships.  If he is worrying about being MVP we have a real problem.

    I was stunned to read that he was replaced by someone with NO NFL or college coaching experience.  Found this:

     

    "The Indianapolis Colts hired Jeff Saturday, who has never coached above the high school level, as their interim head coach on Monday. The move stunned fans, the news media and executives of other N.F.L. teams.

    Saturday, most recently an ESPN analyst, was a two-time All-Pro center for the Colts and the Green Bay Packers over a 14-year career. But as a coach, his only job has been as an assistant and then the head coach at Hebron Christian Academy, a high school in Dacula, Ga., a suburb northeast of Atlanta. His record there was 20-16."

     

    I lived in Dacula, GA for 14 years.  There is some pretty good high school football teams in the Atlanta metro area, but Dacula is a sleepy little suburb and the Hebron Christian academy football team was never taken seriously and was mostly laughed at by the big boy teams in the public schools.  How the hell he made the jump from there to being a head coach in the NFL is a real puzzler.

    I think we were treating it as a trap. They'd keep running the ball until we switched things up to tighten our D at the line, at which point they'd go over the top. Particularly considering we were leading for the most part, it made no sense risking large chunk plays to try and stop an approach which was doing us a favour in burning the clock with very little gain on the scoreboard.

    I agree.  I think the Bills thought the Packers were going to HAVE to start throwing the ball in the second half, and they stuck to their guns in being prepared for it.  It cost us in the run game with respect to yardage, but normally, if you're down three scores in the second half against a team with a competent offense, running the ball is not a winning strategy.  It did not turn out to be one for the Packers.  They never got closer than 10 points after our first couple scores and the Bills secured the win without much drama.  I'll take it.   

     

    Something we need to keep in mind is all the media keeps talking about is how great the Bills are, how they're the Super Bowl favorite, etc.  EVERY team we play is going to come at us with everything they have because they want to prove themselves.

    Let's hope it's built in just the right position that the visiting team never gets any sun, while the Bills sidelines gets as much as possible for 1 pm start times.  Just opposite of Miami's stadium that keeps the Dolphins sideline nice and shady while visitors broil.
