Van De Mark seems to be a true C. Fantastic to have in a year or two, needs seasoning. Not bad in a later round pick

Expand  

You’re thinking of Van Pran Granger. Van Demark was the swing tackle last year.

Expand  

Both Bishop and Elma’s speed are desperately needed in this secondary. Right now they’ve gotta be the slowest in the league with both corners running mid 4.5s, a safety running mid 4.7 and the other running a 4.6. Actually, Douglas might be a 4.6 guy as well without looking it up.

Not at all. But the story isn’t complete until he’s playing in NFL games, imo.

Right but he didn't get on the field.  I feel like he has a better chance today if the guys start getting gassed.

Besides the drought and 13 seconds, many of us have lived through 1 win seasons, midseason collapses, the Home Run Throwback, not to mention Wide Right and 4 straight soul-crushing disappointments.  

 

I'm probably more than a little damaged.  

Expand  

Oh Ya I agree! I'm not that young. I remember the 4 superbowls and the music city miracle. I think the fact that we've been close the last 4 years make it hard too. Like is this gonna be another year where we lose in the divisional round? Hope not obviously, but I just like the cautiously optimistic approach

Ugh. The Amazon broadcast is unwatchable. They should fire their audio engineers.

Or not sit 5 feet away from the fans.  Literally can't hear anything they are saying.

Douglas was a 4.59 as a rookie, doubtful he could do that these days, at 6-2 209 he is on the large side for a corner.

Here comes the Race Card Hill interview. Damn NFL has to keep the fires stoked. Let justice play out for once!

Agreed. What time is actual kickoff...gonna find something else to do till then.

 

GO BILLS!

[Westside Madness]

Ok, so I know the game is on Prime and NFL+, but even as local market it isn't on a local channel? Just trying to confirm before I text my daughter for her Prime details.

Many of you don't know this about me, but I'm a Bills fan.  A long time Bills fan going way, way back.

 

I will most certainly be rooting for the boys in red, white and blue tonight and I would just ask the rest of you to please do the same if you're so inclined, and if we are of like mind.

 

Please note I am no affiliated with, nor am I an employee of the Buffalo Bills, their organization or any other of their related entities.  I'm just a fan, as I stated above. 

 

 

EDIT:

 

I just got a text from @NoHuddleKelly12 saying, "Dude, not on game day.  What's wrong with you?  Stay focused.  We talked about this before.  Man...BTW, when are you wiring me that $10,000?!"*

 

* The last part, the part about the money, may not be true. **

 

** There's a good chance a lot of what I said about the text is made up.

 

 

 

GO BILLS!!

I’m just tryna take your 💰 to hold in escrow so that you don’t spend it all on draft kings tonight 🤔. Seriously though, GO AMERICA’S REAL TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear you. Each team is different, and of course we have been good for the past 5 years. But when I see those uniforms, I not only see these Josh Allen-led teams, but I see every bad drought-era team as well. I see EJ Manuel. I see Kyle Orton. I see all those teams that went between 7-9 and 9-7 and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and for this franchise to go back to where it was.

They’ve gotta win with physicality and being in the right place at the right time, because none of them are winning in a foot race.
