That’s not fair at all. He’s Sam Darnold 2.0.

Bills’ coach Ronald Curry might be the best basketball/football athlete of the last 20 years…number 1 ranked national recruit in both sports.

As a business, the NBA is super-healthy. Franchise values are through the roof and the league is about to sign a new TV contract that will basically double their broadcast revenues. The problems with college basketball are certainly having a trickle-down effect on the NBA--similar to CFB and the NFL--but the NBA has something the NFL will never have: a massive influx of talent from around the world. Look at the top players in the league right now...a ton of them are from abroad...Jokic, Doncic, Giannis, Wembanyama....While it would be nice to have more home-grown stars, this just serves to make the league more popular overseas...

Keon Coleman would probably have as good a chance to play in the NBA as anyone in the NFL...he saw significant playing time as a freshman for Michigan State's basketball team...not saying he could make an NBA roster, but he certainly wouldn't embarrass himself out there.

This year's Bills-Dolphins game is perfectly positioned to coincide with maximum chance of a significant hurricane. Enjoy!

Dear Dolphins: Please pay this man whatever he wants. You won’t regret it. Sincerely, Bills Fans

You stopped listening because he was too much of a homer or not enough of a homer? Marino's definitely a Bills fan, which he acknowledges, but he is not at all afraid to criticize McDermott or Beane, and his post-game analyses often contain very pointed (and accurate) criticism of the Bills' player and coaches.

Correct. Marino has really upped his game over the past year or so. His post-game podcasts are indispensable and his Bills-related takes in general are spot-on, particularly his roster observations. He has become less of a homer and has also gotten rid of a lot of the annoying repetitive phrases he used to rely on (like "a world we live in" and "lean into"). IMO, he's by far the best Bills podcaster.

Why? The Pats will have long ago been eliminated from contention. It’s the best time to play them.

Agreed, and by the time we reach week 16, those last three games will be against teams just playing out the string and running for the bus.

It’s been the best rivalry in the NFL for at least three years.

NE ruled out for week 1?

That’s a TON of prime time games for a Jets team that was below .500 last year…they better hope theJets can keep their 40-year old QB, who is coming off an Achilles and hasn’t played in 2 years, upright. I can see this not ending well.

They could easily lose both those games

Pats in the opener, with new coach and rookie QB would seem to be ideal. They have given us trouble, though. At least we won't be opening against the Jests.

Could be the worst argument I've ever seen on these pages...

Sorry…that prediction thread got lost in the shuffle…I did find it, though

Agree re Burrow, but the Bengals are still in an absolutely brutal division. It seems unlikely that the 1 seed comes out of the North, but it happened last year, so…

How about a Bills opener prediction? (We now know it’s not KC or Baltimore.) I’ll guess Miami, and hope the game’s not down there…

Brandon Aiyuk remains a better option than any of the guys you mention here, and he’s reportedly available, especially with the Niners just having double-dipped at WR in the draft. I recognize Aiyuk is somewhat of a pipe dream given the Bills’ cap situation, but he’s better than all the guys mentioned here and he could probably be had for the second-round pick we got for Diggs.

Makes no sense to me, either. If you don't want to watch a Thursday night game, then don't.

Just heard that Chiefs v. Ravens is the opening game...

The Chiefs should kick the tires on this guy...

Josh really played with a lot of scrubs his first two years…and my God, this 59 minutes was all scoring plays… you could easily put together another 59 minute highlight reel of Josh’s non-scoring plays…hell, you could put together a 59 minute highlight reel just of Josh owning the Dolphins.
