So my daughter has a dance recital this upcoming Sunday at 4:30, thing might last until 6 or so.  Her part will only last about 5 minutes of that whole time.  For the rest of the recital, what does this group think about me slipping an earpod into one ear, in order to listen to the first half?  Acceptable??? 

 

Watch the game on your cell phone.  The first time I met my last GF's famiy was at dinner for the Bills/Pats playoff game 2 years ago.  I watched it from my phone.  Dinner was over, I went to the bar to watch the rest of the game.

Is this even a question? A better option, watch it on your smartphone when she is not dancing.

Haha - I want to be a little discreet, to

avoid dirty looks from other parents!  Note that I am not in WNY, so level of understanding may be lower.

Cowboys fans having a raging debate about Josh Allen, some saying he's the best QB they'll see in the regular season and the Boys better be ready, and others saying he's in the top 10 but a turnover machine so they're not worried at all.  Most though, acknowledge that the Bills are dangerous right now, with their backs to the wall - and that the Cowboys have not played their best football on the road.

Even Sports Personalities are asking who is better: Dak or Allen? 

 

It's always been Allen but they are trying to say Dak has been better the last 5 years (Undisputed)

Awe man I want this game so bad… Now supposedly Dallas is all butt hurt and feels disrespected cause there 2.5 point underdogs… at least we can say we’ve beaten a good team on the road… They think there hero’s cause the beat the eagles.. Hell we were fixin on blowing them out till the refs got involved 

[Bookie Man]

Miami is extremely banged up right now also. Connor Williams being out is a huge loss for them.

[gtw3]

Took a few minutes to browse some of the cowboys forums.  They are some of the most uninformed, just regurgitating the same old national narrative about our Bills, fans I have seen all year.  "Josh can only beat us with his legs"  "He is inaccurate"  "Our defense cannot pressure without blitzing"  "We have no running game"  "We are a mid-team in the AFC"   "Get a lead early and we will crumble"

 

You can just sense that they only watch Skip Bayless and their own team and have no real knowledge of the rest of the NFL outside of Dallas.

 

Reality wears #17 and he's about to slap them in the face.

Defensive Splits for the Cowboys:

Offensive Splits for the Cowboys:

Cowboys average a full yard per play less on the road and Dak has an 11% lower completion percentage, his QB Rating is 31 points lower and he has thrown 8 TDs with 4 INTs versus 20 TDs and 3 INTs at home.

 

Defensively, they allow 8% higher completion percentage, 0.5 YPC more on the ground, and have allowed 10 passing TDs with only 4 INTs versus 7 passing TDs with 9 INTs at home along with a 23+ point higher QB Rating allowed.

 

Not surprisingly Dallas Dallas' Point Differential is +171 at home and +17 on the road and average over 18 PPG less on the road.

 

Dallas is not a great road team, the Bills can win this game and it may not be as difficult as we think.

You had me until you said " it may not be as difficult as we think."

 

When have the Bills last won an easy game? Or when is the last Bills win that hasn't been difficult? 

 

Been a long long time. The Cowboys are rolling and a very good team. To imply this game might not be difficult seems to be a stretch to put it kindly.

I get less worried when Buffalo is playing good teams. It's the lessers that I worry about. It's like how we see some teams that beats Buffalo act like they just won the Super Bowl. Teams tend to play to the level of their competition.

Disagree here. Would you rather play the Cowboys on Sunday or Carolina?

Right about now would be a good time to put Trevon Diggs' quote on the bulletin board at OBD.

I think Josh will be extra motivated for this one.  FU Trevon for trying to mess with Bills locker room.  Trevon- that was super disrespectful.  Now your team is going to pay because of your stupid, big, full of *****, mouth.  FU Trevon.  FU Cowboys.  I didn't need another reason to hate Dallas

When is the best time to buy tix for this game? They usually go down in price the couple of days before the game right? Or should I get them today before they all get gobbled up? 

 

When I was scouring for bengals playoff tickets friday night and Saturday night were the best times.  

 

Late friday would have been the cheapest and I kicked myself for not pulling the trigger.  I ended up spending 40$ more each ticket on sunday.

If Miami goes 2-1 and we go 3-0,  Week 18 is for Division

If Miami goes 1-2 and we go 2-1,  Week 18 is for the Division

 

If the unthinkable happens, Miami goes 0-3  to 9-7  and we go 2-1 / 3-0, 

 

I think Week 18 they can still win Division if they beat us?  

 

I had to look this up but if this happened week 18 would be for the division. The next tie breaker after head to head and division record (both would be 3-3) is record vs common opponents.  

 

The 2 uncommon opponents for them are titans and ravens which would both be losses.  The 2 uncommon for the bills are chiefs and jag which went 1-1.

 

Therefore I believe week 18 is for the division no matter what as long as miami loses at least 1 more time than the bills over the next 3 weeks.

Dk metcalf went OFF tho. We don’t have a skill ht wt speed freak like that 

Or a compliment like Tyler Lockett. I believe the Bills pass rush will get to Dak. My question is will McDermott play more press to allow the pressure to get there? Put Rasul on CeeDee and let's go!!

Why haven't you and I watched a game at some S. Jersey watering hole?

 

Well my last four seasons have been: COVID, child year 0, child year 1, slowly unfogging my brain 😁

 

But where do you recommend? If we get to the playoffs, South Jersey Mafia?

This is a game where I hope the weather is actually not great. It'd be nice if Dallas couldn't just throw all over the field. 

 

Also, it'd be awesome if we could get the crowd to chant "Ya here we go" everytime the cowboys offense is on the field

This would be awesome.

Two things that really concern me about this game.

 

1. How will the Bills OL hold up against the Cowboys pass rush. KC especially in the 2nd half was getting after Allen pretty good. Dallas can do the same.

2. Can the Bills secondary contain CeeDee Lamb. If they can do a good job against Lamb that will go a long way containing the Cowboys offense. 

 

I do expect a relatively high scoring game. Definitely higher than 20-17

I think the 3rd tiebreaker is conference record.
