and a Buffalo born in British pub is not a pterodactyl.

 

None of these have anything to do with citizenship.

 

If you are born in America, you are American by birthright.

 

A wildebeest born in a zoo is still not an Elephant.

 

Kincaid is still an American

Anyone know of any Bills Backers Bars in Cape Town, South Africa??  😄  I am heading that way in about an hour.  I'll be in my hotel room by the time the game starts at 7 PM local time tomorrow.

If you find one I'll truly be amazed

Just walk into any bar with your hat and jersey and declare it a BB bar.  Once they learn where you’re from, you’ll be all set.

Best Bills Backers bar in New Orleans?

NE is going to pound the ball all game up the middle against us.  Lets see if we can stop it.

I agree that this will be NE's game plan on offense.  It will be a challenge for NE to pull it off.  Stevenson's ankle injury probably is a non-issue, but the Patriots have real problems on their offensive line, particularly at right tackle.  To pound the rock, you need more than just a couple of physical runners.  You need an offensive line that can get some push and open holes.  The other side of the equation is Buffalo's offense against a Belichick defense.  Recently, Belichick has been pretty much helpless in trying to slow down Josh Allen and the Bills' offense.  I don't see that changing.  If Buffalo gets up by a couple of touchdowns or more in the second half, they will be more than happy to let the Patriots keep trying to pound the ball.

Looks like the weather is much improved from earlier in the week.

 

Now it's supposed to be mid 50s and partly sunny with no chance of rain, winds around 15mph. Perfect weather for a game.

They've been terrible at that all year long.

Hm. Wonder what's with the Canadian flag on his helmet? Heritage, I suppose.

 

 

Someone had to wear it.

So Kincaid is Canadian even though he was born in born in the US. Got it.

At this point in world affairs, we are not keen on announcing where we are from.  Trying to keep a low profile and not draw any attention to ourselves.  🫥

Someone here turned me on to DAZN sports streaming. First month free.  I cancelled right after I watched the miami game in Germany. Works great and even was able to cast it to my hotel room TV. 
 

Unfortunately, you won’t be surrounded by drindl wearing German girls as was I. 

[WideNine]

I wanted to take a moment to send a shout out to Tre' .

 

Probably seems like folks callously move on, but sports can be like that. Hard for me to forget how hard that hit him when it happened.

 

Would have loved seeing him anchoring that DB spot all season.

 

You can tell that losing him took some of the air out of this team, but everyone is wishing him a full recovery.

 

The season keeps rolling along, but it is safe to say we have not forgotten him.

Sadly, true.  And “Mafia” might have different meanings in other parts of the world. Stay safe and hope you can enjoy the game with some fans!

serious injuries may make you rethink things

 

He may be mulling over his long term career... Scary injury ... Gotten 2 contracts 

 

Nobody says you need to destroy your body for football ... Coming from someone who destroyed his body 

 

He may be reconsidering things 

I imagine when you played, much like myself, it was in an era on the eve or before of the most recent science behind long term effects on the body, head trauma, etc.

 

Players today very well know, and I think this point is right on, as we’ve seen many fantastic players cut it quits early in their careers. 
 

That being said, for a lot of these guys, I think they believe the risk is worth the $$$. 

[frostbitmic]

Have they swept the locker room for bugs yet ?

Off topic...not Bills/Pats related. Didn't feel it needed its own thread....but thought some may get a chuckle

No need. We all know josh is only throwing to Diggs and when he doesn't, everyone else will drop the ball or fumble. I'm kidding. Am I?  man I hope I am. I've got a headache.

Find out what the stipulations of the helmet stickers are and get back to us. I've never seen Kincaid claim he is Canadian.

of course

 

If you're a football player through and through you know the risks and don't care... JJ Watt was never going to be an accountant

 

The dude is a football player... No matter if he had 25 surgeries or not... He'd keep playing
