Not a huge Brady fan by any means, but I am absolutely hoping to see him come back into New England and kick their asses up and down the field. Or better yet, have NE in the lead in the 4th quarter and Brady do his typical thing and lead the Bucs to a comeback victory. Let the Mass-holes get a taste of what everyone else has had to deal with for the past 20 years.

I think Amazon is the only supplier that I regularly deal with who I've seen follow that rule. I currently have 3 charges on my card for various gadgets that won't ship until Oct/Nov, but are full-on charges.

Honestly, I missed last night's broadcast. Game 2 was the one I caught most of. Good to hear, hopefully they have it fixed.

Agreed. The only annoyance is that the brothers arent in the same room for some reason and having to deal with the lag. Would be way better if they were together.

Ah, so not fanatics. Thanks!

Right. But you say "a 3rd party took over online orders". I believe that 3rd party handling online orders for the Bills and NFL is Fanatics. Even if you order through shop.buffalobills.com the order is processed through and by Fanatics. Last I heard anyways. Was asking if they told you who that 3rd party is.

I believe Fanatics.com took over the online portion of NFL stores. Is that who they are referring you to? Also, is it a custom jersey? If it is Fanatics, I can attest that sometimes they can take WEEKS to fulfill a simple order. Especially during August and September when everyone is ordering new gear for the new season. But it will get to you eventually.

I'm a big college football fan, living in the heart of SEC country, and follow Bama pretty closely... I've NEVER heard it argued that it is the Bama QBs who carry the team. It is ALWAYS that the running game and defense make up the heart of the team. Tua has been the only true passing QB that Bama has had in recent memory. Bama QBs have always been overlooked in the draft (and rightfully so). I think Jones rode a little of Tua's passing hype, but folks still knew what Jones was. I dont think Young will get much hype coming out unless his game improves greatly.

Not only have we played our extra game already, but just as importantly, the Chiefs havent played any NFC teams yet. They have 2 valuable losses to AFC teams, and we have a win over an NFC team that will end up dragging us down.

Great post. One thing I'd add though is that while RBs were more highly regarded back then, it was still a QB-centric game. Always has been. OJ, for all of his awards, records, and success, only played in ONE playoff game his entire career. Even all of the early Super Bowl winners were built around a QB, not a RB. The 1967 Packers were built around Bart Starr, to the point their GM left star HB Paul Hornung unprotected in the expansion draft (and New Orleans scooped him right up). The Jets in SB 3 were about Namath. Cowboys, etc. It's more that the Bills, and specifically Ralph Wilson, never really understood the importance of having a star/quality QB and thought they could just run the ball to a championship. But whether we knew it or not, the game has always revolved around the QB.

Yeah, at this point, watching Greeny meltdown about how horribly the Jets are managed is the only part worth watching.

Holy cow, what a blast from the past of my adolescent days...

I was a long time, dedicated Mike & Mike viewer, and havent been back to ESPN in the Morning since they went off air. There isnt a decent ESPN Morning show. I've switched over to GMFB on NFL Network as my morning show, and catch up with other sporting news on PTI. Once PTI is done, there will be no more commentary shows on ESPN for me. Just college football.

Time to cancel @Gugny?

I gotta disagree from what I saw being at the game (no all-22 film). It seemed like there was plenty of space for Moss to run through at the line, and he was regularly getting to the 2nd level. His 4.6 avg would indicate that as well. Just because a DLineman was making the tackles doesnt mean the play was stopped at the line. Sweat was often hustling back downfield from the backside to make those tackles. I even had to check at one point to see if they were playing him off the ball as a LB because he was making tackles 5-6 yards downfield. I thought the run blocking was "good enough" to at least give the Defense something to think about and stay honest, and let us move the ball.

He definitely took a lot of crap for that, and rightfully so. Wide open, hit him right in the hands, and bounced right off of him. But I hadnt realized until now that Singletary wasnt on the list at all. THAT is even more deserving of criticism than our #4RB/Special Teams Ace imo.

Not really a strawman considering it's my post and point that first started being quoted. I was clarifying and reiterating my original point. As for Hardman... right, exactly. I dont expect him to beat out Hardman for a starting spot. I expect Gordon to be in the wings, for when a team does successfully neutralize Hill and Kelce and Hardman. Just like Byron Pringle (who?!?) had 2/63 and 1 TD against Baltimore, that's the role Gordon steps in. I assume he can do as well, if not better than Byron Pringle. Or a Daurice Fountain. It's not a great thing when a team like KC adds to their depth. Folks can scoff at Gordon, and rightfully so, it's probably a safe bet that he'll do nothing. But I'd rather see him elsewhere. Like back in Seattle.

No, but Sammy was a bigger part than Gabbert. And to my point, doesnt need to be an All-Pro consistent player in order to contribute to them winning. Watkins did ok in KC, and had a couple break out games himself, where he starred as the 3rd or 4th option. I could see Gordon fill that same role. And while I'm not scared of him, would really hate to see him have even his one break out game against us (or at any time for the Chiefs).

Agreed on Reid. And sure. I'm not expecting him to put up an All-Pro season. But all he needs is one good day as the 4th option because a defense successfully took away their first few options. A Sanders or even Knox-like day from yesterday.... handful of catches, less than 100 yards, and 1 or 2 TDs, can certainly change the outcome of a game. We'll see what shape he's in of course. I'm certainly not getting any heart burn from it. But I dont like to see the Chiefs adding anyone to their roster who could possibly help out in any way.

Pretty sure Sammy has a ring... with the Chiefs. 🤷‍♂️

Dislike. Joke all you want about Gordon, but I'd rather not have the Chiefs increase their talent and chances of winning in any way, no matter how minuscule. Dude can be a stud if/when he has his act together. I dont want to see that happen in 3 weeks.

If anyone is thinking of a PSL as a true investment, then Ive got some homemade bitcoins to sell them. Half off current market value even. Best case scenario with a PSL is you get your money back if/when you find someone to buy your tickets instead of turning them back in.

Nailed it.

I'm cheering for Darnold's success this entire year, except for our game against the Panthers. He's Josh's buddy. Everyone loves a redemption story. And most importantly, it solidifies what a dumpster fire the Jets are as an organization. Love to see it.
