Baltimore Sun: Bills fans start GoFundMe for charity supported by Ravens TE Mark Andrews Bills Mafia has helped raise over $13,000 in less than 48 hours https://www.baltimoresun.com/2025/01/21/bills-fans-start-gofundme-for-ravens-mark-andrews-charity/?utm_medium=browser_notifications&utm_source=pushly&utm_campaign=6151873

I love Tre and have his jersey, but he's been horrific for the Rams and Ravens. Even with a 25% more recovery he's no where near what he was with the Bills

My Pats fan family texted to say they were rooting for the Bills, and I replied, "We're Doomed." I'm pretty sure I successfully warded off Bad JuJu.

They'll never reduce games, but I think this is the best answer. Teams often play every other day for weeks on end, with the occasional back to back road games, and then three games in four days. Just brutal. About two thirds the way through the season the games are often sluggish as players are just worn out. By the end of the season, the good teams are able to rest players, cut down on minutes and get ready for the playoffs. All others are tired by the time they get to the postseason, making rest a an important factor in a series.

Which Bill does he replace? I say no one. Now if Calais Campbell . . . The dream is for a run-stuffing DT to make their way on to the roster.

Curious if you figured it out. Earlier this year I was in Spain for the first Jets game. I couldn't figure out how to do it and had to follow plays on CBS app for the 2:15AM start. 😴

You seemed to miss the point of your opening statement: "Granted 3/4’s of the secondary was out as well as Milano . . ." The one thing I can't figure out is why Spector would ever see the field.

Definitely Benford. Shakir and Cook close behind but Benford is at an All-Pro level.

I don't like receiving gifts. I don't need anything and don't want anyone spending money on me. I'd rather go out to dinner with them. The nightmare is receiving a gift you can't hide. Picture frames (or worse, with a bad picture), art, anything subjective, books (I have a library of yet-to-be-read books, and now they'll ask how I liked the gift I would never have bought). My wife and I have a rule where we provide a short list of very specific items. Usually something I wouldn't normally buy for myself. I probably have anxiety over gift giving on the assumption others feel the same way.

I will say, "not really" surprised. Fans of other teams probably feel the same was about Allen and the Bills offense than we do about 3rd and Short when competing against Mahomes and Jackson. Your gut tells you they will get the first down because they are so difficult to defend. Man or zone? How to defend against the QB run or scramble? It's such a dangerous down, especially now that KC, Ravens and Bills may go for a 4th and short on their own side of the field. I think most teams almost "concede" a third and short to avoid getting pasted by game breaking play. 2nd and Short is even more of a nightmare.

The only thing more dangerous than a health Mahomes is a "hobbled" Mahomes. No matter how hurt he is, if Mahomes plays, chances are the Chiefs are still the favorites.

Injured Reserve Could be back December 1: - Matt Milano - DeWayne Carter - Tylan Grable Could be back December 15: - Baylon Spector - DeWayne Smoot If all come back, who moves off the roster? - Milano > Open Roster Spot? - DeWayne Carter > Quinton Jefferson/? - Grable > Clapp - Baylon Spector > Andreessen - DeWayne Smoot > Toohill? If all are back, who are the likely inactive? - Grable - Ulofoshio - Elam - Gouraige? - Davidson

If he's fired, I wouldn't oppose returning Shoen to the Bills front office. I was never a Jones fan, but I understand why they resigned him. The subsequent injuries made the borderline decent QB into a below-replacement-level washout. It was partially lousy luck, but Schoen was also stuck with a QB he didn't draft and maybe wasn't thrilled to keep. Critically, Shoen missed on several Olinemen and then didn't trade away Barkley and several others they didn't seem interested in resigning. Despite his failings, the 2024 draft class is pretty good. There's talent on the team, and they'll have high draft picks and a lot of cap space.

Joe Mario does a great job and while a huge fan, he’s not a homer and will tell it like it is. While it’s great he’s on six days a week, so there is a bit of excessive content creation to fill the time, though that can be excused. Also a big fan of Joe Buscaligia. I like him for all the same reasons. He’s a big Bills fan but very objective and has a knack for unique insights. He only does a game recap and one preview - both are very well-done. I’ve cut back on many of the shows. I like Matt Parinno but that show can have too much homer-ism and not a lot of fresh insight. Cover 1 is just too much. They are very knowledgeable but tend to overdo it and rarely admit they were wrong. They are also huge homers. IMO, Bruce Nolan is a MUCH better guest than as a host. As a guest he can be pressed to explain his opinions but on his own can be was too esoteric and cutesy. The best show was when he teamed up with “Nick” (?) who was a great straight man to Bruce’s philosophizing.

I'm more concerned about fielding a healthy team for the playoffs than beating KC on Sunday. This isn't a playoff game, if a player isn't fully ready, let them sit out and be 100% for the stretch run.
