  1. I don't predict scores but I bet on the Bills to win by 4 or more. The bigger the blowout the better so I can relax & count my cash by the 4th quarter when Trubisky comes in to finish the game.
  2. Once again the NFL schedule makers trying to screw up the Bills Super Bowl chances by giving us a home game against a tough opponent on opening day knowing the odds would be against us winning the Super Bowl after one game. They knew right off the bat they would be reducing our chances to 40% or less. From now on the Bills need to start the season on the road & not be eliminated from a Super Bowl championship after week 1.
  3. You have a 50/50 chance of being on the road opening day. The schedule is random. If the Bills played the Jets instead of the Steelers then there would be no stupid stat to post. If I want to be a downer I can usually find a stat to justify my opinion if I dig deep enough. This is how stupid the stat is: In 1993 the Cowboys started 0-2 on their way to becoming Super Bowl champions. Since the 1st game was on the road & the 2nd straight loss was at home, the Cowboys don't qualify for the stat. Also, there have been 55 Super Bowls, so why are you using 52? Now considering the fact that the natural odds in any season (before accounting for talent differences) of a Super Bowl Championship is 1 in 32, the natural odds of 1) Playing at home opening week (50%) 2), Losing Opening Day(50%), and 3) winning the Super Bowl (3.125%), it's not that hard to get a 1 out of 55 result (1.82 %). In fact the natural odds of winning a Super Bowl after losing your home opener on opening day, or even winning the Super Bowl is 0.078% Now if you say the odds of getting to the Super Bowl is only 1 in 16 (6.25%) The result is 1)50% X 2) 50%X3)6.25% X4)50% (once you're in the game you have a 50/50 shot of wining or losing). That yields the same 0.078% or 1 in 128. So it's not surprising that a 1 in 128 stat would produce a 1 in 55 result. The gobbledygook of the prior paragraph just shows you how statistics can be manipulated to produce a result that supports just about any premise. The data posted in the OP is meaningless.
  4. Giants deserve to lose. Blow 2 time outs before they get the ball back. Off sides on a FG, no discipline.
  5. Giants played for a FG down by 1 meaning a Washington FG beats them. Even if they win,Judge can't coach.
  6. If the Giants owners have any brains, he won't be there next year and neither will Gettleman.
  7. It's Carolina vs Houston It won't be next Thursday
  8. Judge is a horrible coach, another bad limb from the Belichick coaching tree. Go for it on 4th down that deep in Washington's territory. He deserves the subsequent Washington drive after the gutless field goal.
  9. If Bill Parcells is QBing the Dolphins, there will be more than 2 ints. Yes, I know it's your autocorrect but I couldn't resist.
  10. I wore one & an unrelated couple sitting next to me did too. I think the 3 of us were the only ones in our section with masks on.
  11. They sent out e-mails saying that all Gameday programs are now digital & can be downloaded from the Bills app. I didn't bother but that's where the Gameday programs are now.
  12. I went in at 11:10-11:15, no lines at all. My main problen was I bought stadium parking. I left from Depew around 8:20 AM drove straight down Rt 20 (Transit/Southwestern) and a few miles from the stadium traffic came to a dead halt. I got in the stadium lot around 10:15, almost 2 hours for a 15 mile drive on Rt 20. At least I got a spot 2 cars from the road in the lot, about 5 rows down from the exit so getting out wasn't that bad after the game ended. I wore a mask both indoors & outside once the stadium seats filled up. That was because I was staying with friends who would have been upset if I went to the stadium & didn't keep a mask on. If someone is going to put me up for the weekend I'm not going to go against their wishes. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had stayed in a motel since I'm fully vaccinated.
  13. It's even worse at Met-Life stadium. I'm going to the Bills game on 11/14 and I got a notice that I must use VISA only cards. Now they have machines at Met-Life where you can buy a VISA debit card with cash. I wonder how well that works and what the fees are. Since I have Mastercard & not VISA I ended up buying a VISA gift card & put $100 on it for both games & left my debit card at home. One thing that I found was that if you look, most prepaid debit cards are reloadable, but they make you do a lot of stuff like registering with them, giving private info that sometimes includes your Social Security number and charge a monthly fee. I was about to give up but then I found that the gift card has none of that nonsense & the fee was a one time $5.95 charge.
  14. The reason the Chiefs come back from 10+ points is because they fall behind in a lot of games by not taking things seriously early on. Then when they get punched in the face they turn to Mahomes to bail them out.
  15. Years ago on the WGR postgame show with The Coach Chuck Dickerson, a caller termed a phrase that The Coach adopted "4th and stupid" That's the 1st thing I thought on that play-4th and stupid!
  16. I was at Wegmans today and bought Diggs hot sauce, the wing sauce with Josh on the bottle in mild & hot and a box of Josh's Jaqs. I may never open any of them or just use it & keep the empty bottles and box. 7
  17. Back when I was working I could get pretty obnoxious during the Super Bowl years. One time a co-worker told me "I never thought the NFL season was too long until I sat next to you." Another time my boss got mad at me when he didn't like my response to questions posed by one of the lawyers in a mock setting for a future trial. I got mad back at him because I thought I gave honest answers (which was not what the lawyer was looking for) to the questions. I yelled back at my boss "I don't care if he doesn't want me testifying, Do whatever you want, I'm going to the Super Bowl in 2 weeks."
  18. and on special teams there is Matakevich covering punts and kickoffs with nary a glitch. you mean :Making the Piitsburgh Steelers his b**ch?
  19. Here's the problem with the Giants. Their head coach at the time Pat Shurmur, who some think is a QB savant, wasn't very impressed with Josh Allen. When asked, Shurmur said he thought Allen "had a chance" to be a starter. Not exactly high praise-see link below. I don't know what he thought of Darnold or Rosen but at least they didn't draft either one of them. So, it was either Barkley or a QB who busted because Shurmur didn't want Allen. The Giants have to give Barkley a 2nd contract unless he is bad the next 2 seasons (they already picked up his 5th year option). https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2019/09/12/pat-shurmur-and-josh-allen-chance-to-be-starter-nfl-draft-new-york-giants-buffalo-bills/2302418001/
  20. No 2 seasons are the same, that's what changed. So are the 22 same starter Bucs going to start as slowly as they did last year and have only the 4th best record in the NFC again? Did you expect the 2011 NY Giants to repeat even though they were barely over 500 but got hot in the playoffs? Your conclusion that we're going to see the same resuilts as 2020 is illogical.
  21. Tuesday was the season premier of Inside the NFL & Julian Edelman has joined Phil Simms, Ray Lewis, Brandon Marshall and James Brown . James Brown didn't make a pick. Ray Lewis was the only one among the ex-players not to pick the Bills to win the AFC (After he didn't pick the Bills I didn't pay much attention but I think he picked KC) Edelman picked the Bills to beat the Packers, Simms picked the Bills to beat the 49ers, and Marshall picked the Packers to beat the Bills. When I couldn't find Inside the NFL in the TV listings I thought it got cancelled. I did a search & found it is on Paramount +. I was thinking of getting Paramount + before today but Inside the NFL clinched it for me. So if you're looking for it & can't find it, it's on Paramount +
