  1. Past hour
  2. This would be a really good matchup for Palmer if he plays. The Dolphins have largely a bunch of arse at CB. Could be a great chance to get him rolling.
  3. If I remember correctly (no guarantees, lol) I think they even ended up removing him from the home because they thought he was a threat to his own mother.
  4. #1 seed If we're the 1 seed there's a very good chance we were able to rest key starters week 18. Then we turn around and rest the entire roster which we all know will have some injury issues. Historically we've beaten Baltimore/ Lamar in the playoffs. And I'm confident if McD is calling the defensive plays, he'll find a path to stopping Henry. Being at home will help. We don't deserve going to a SB if we can't finally slay our nemesis. So for me the issue of keeping most of your 53 healthy and at home is paramount.
  5. I had "Coaches Club" tickets for the opener @ NYJ a few years ago. I have to say it was pretty sweet. It's packed even though everybody in there has tickets in the stands. Basically you have to go through there to get to your seats. It's free food and free drinks. Raw oyster, prime rib sandwiches, nachos, pretzels, whatever. And of course TV's all over the place. Given the PSL cost for th club seats I imagine maybe something similar? Unsure though. At MetLife it is directly next to the sideline behind the Jets bench (there's one on the visitor side too) with field access. I am actually in a bunch of the Aaron Rodgers pictures when he came out of the blue tent on the cart. If Buffalo can provide something similar it should be highly desirable. It would even be a good space to do sales kick offs, presentations, etc. during the week It's not a bad idea. I don't disagree. But I don't think it's a fan base issue, it's an architectural issue. I imagine the new stadium will push us to the top or at least on par with KC. They have the decibel thing up all the time and Arrowhead rumbles at like 120 dB on meaningless 2nd downs. I've never been to a stadium that is as consistently loud at such a high level. It was remarkable. And I don't mean that in a way that takes away from Bills fans at all. Again, I think it's a stadium design issue and the new stadium will help tremendously.
  6. Are they the betting favorites to win the respective divisions. I know the Broncos offense looked like garbage last night, but they are 8-2 and the Chargers who already beat the Chiefs are 6-3 with KC 3rd in the division at 5-4. The Ravens at 3-5 are two games back of the Steelers 5-3. I think the Ravens have the better shot especially if they sweep the Steelers. The Chiefs IMHO have to go the WC route. I don't they win the AFCW this year.
  7. ….and probably not just the normal kind, since the baseline for teenagers in general is pretty high. As usual, it’s not this or that, it’s this and that. He is where is for all kinds of reasons all acting together.
  8. This will not be a blowout like many of you predict. And a lot of you will be disappointed with a win unless it’s by more that 14 points. Most of the time these games are pretty close, and Miami has a lot of pride, especially playing against the bills. I feel like the Bills should handle their business and win 27-17.
  9. I have had a theory that the best fan thing gives most notice to teams who either: A. Win a lot but the fan support really is impressive over time (Pittsburgh GB DEN) or B. They have never won before but either had a truly tragically impressive list of losses that stick out in the national mindset while also being defined nationally by there team (BUF/CLE) The Saints are kind of weird because the majority of their history was being doormats, but they were fun with how the fans partied and weirdly embraced being lovable losers. Then they got good around the early 2000s for a bit, Katrina happened which the city absolutely rallied around the Saints, they got reallllyyy good and won a SB, and until Brees left were considered pretty highly as a team. So they don't have a winning history until Brees, because their two worst losses (2017 Vikes & 2018 Rams) came post SB it lessens the blow, and nationally people think of New Orleans for the parties and culture first. The Saints absolutely deserve a place in top fans, they just luckily have a great reputation city wise where their identity is more split. This is why while Detroit has been bad for generations their pain isn't close to BUF/CLE. BUF/CLE had long stretches of success only to fail in some of the most gut wrenching ways possible while nationally being seen as "wow those poor fans but they really love their teams". DET until Campbell was just they suck and those poor fans. Fair or not you kind of need to have some point your team was good for a long while and either win or lose for that national title to come. CLE also just historically is mammoth in the games books and even though the Lions in the 50s were a powerhouse it is not comparable. Ironically Kansas City until Mahomes was far closer to CLE/BUF in the pain department. They were never fully there as they had SB 4 to hang a hat on, but they for decades were good to great and had some truly incredibly heart breaking awful losses and those fans for a long time spoke on those scars. They now for their benefit are the ones creating scars so their in category one indefinitely lol.
  10. Knee injury last year, oblique injury this year both probably factor into it.
  11. It's November 7th and I'm still gonna vote republican.
  12. Arrowhead had many innovations for stadium design at the time, but the thing I appreciated most when it opened was the addition of arrows on the yard markers to indicate which goal line was closest. Unless the ball was at midfield, the TV angles didn’t inform viewers where the teams were exactly.
  13. Oh, now we care about the job reports. Rich. Where was @Homelander during bidens reign of terror?
  14. I sat next to a guy a few years back who was touring stadiums (not a Bills fan), and he said about mid-game that it was the 2nd loudest stadium he had been to (behind KC).
  15. Scenario A is a perfectly reasonable choice. I prefer B but not by a ton. I don’t see a scenario where anyone in the AFC but KC or Baltimore beats playoff Josh Allen. They’re the only teams with the firepower to keep up. I don’t see the Bills in the playoffs laying an egg like New England or Atlanta. The Colts are a little weird to me. They feel like they can match the physicality. I go back to though, “if Josh Allen and Daniel Jones square off in a must win game, Josh has a massive advantage.” I think there’s a huge difference between “must win playoff games” vs. a Sunday afternoon in October. The Bills advantage over those teams that haven’t proven they can win those big games is LARGE.
  16. The timing on Fleezoid's post, immediately after SoCal's post, couldn't have been more perfect.
  17. Yea feels like people are in a bit of denial about how much dumb luck there is in a single game elimination football playoff. Even if you’re a pretty big favorite in the road wildcard game it’s probably a 60/40 odds type situation that you entirely skip by getting a bye instead and who knows how the wear and tear of that game could effect the next game If pit keeps Baltimore out and ends up the ‘worst’ division winner I don’t think we’d be that big a favorite in that 4 vs 5 wildcard game tbh. They would’ve had to have beaten a few good teams down the stretch.. of course if Baltimore just implodes and pit looks meh maybe the optics are different
  18. You haven’t been paying attention to who is buying the tickets. The retention rate of ST holders is high. The new stadium will be significantly louder than the current one.
  19. According to his own father, he's been a psychotic ashhole since he was a teenager.
  20. Wondering if they are doing a bit of load management with him and planning to unleash him fully down the stretch and into the playoffs?
  21. i don't think the 1 seed is the advantage you seem to, especially this year final season in the stadium is fan talk tbh...players don't really care about that. we haven't shown that we're significantly stronger vs top AFC teams at home as opposed to on the road. what we have shown is an ability to smack second tier AFC teams in the playoffs so the option to avoid the stronger teams is the obvious choice
  22. Not from anyone's social media feed. Not from MSNBC or Fox. From people who actually know what they're talking about. 1. Sean Trende. Writes for Real Clear Politics (somewhat right-leaning overall). No greater wisdom has been spoken about American politics than his guiding principle that coalitions in American politics are constantly shifting and rarely survive long-term. And here he sees that happening: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/11/06/a_bad_night_for_republicans_with_no_bright_spots_153494.html Americans don’t do mandates. Donald Trump’s claim to a sweeping mandate was always dubious. He won by a little less than two points and failed to clear 50% of the vote. But I’ve always been fond of political scientist E.E. Schattschneider’s view of things: “The people are a sovereign whose vocabulary is limited to ‘yes’ or ‘no.’” We read all sorts of things into election results because it’s our job. But “the people” only say “I prefer this candidate” or “I like that one.” They don’t really get to explain why, nor in most elections do they get to rank preferences. 2. G. Elliott Morris is a data journalist, previously with the Economist. He is one of the best at digging into the numbers. And he sees the same thing: https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-winning-2024-coalition-has Morris points out that the "new Trump coalition" of working class whites, country club Republicans, and an increasing share of blacks and Hispanics has fallen apart. Again, coalitions are unstable, and this weird "coalition" (if you can even call it that) featured groups that just don't have a lot in common. It is clear now that claims of a fundamental realignment of American politics have been highly exaggerated. The 2024 election is best seen as an anti-incumbent election stemming from economic anxiety, most but not entirely driven by rising inflation during Joe Biden’s presidency. The elections held this week were a continuation of the anti-incumbent sentiment from last year — this time directed toward the new party in charge. The biggest difference between 2024 and 2025 is that Republicans are running the country now, instead of the Democrats. But for the realignment theorists, it’s actually worse than it looks. From 2024 to 2025 Republicans lost the most support — 25 points, on average — among the very voters they theorized would remake the GOP into a vast, multi-racial, working-class coalition. Today’s Chart of The Week looks at subgroup vote choice in 2025. The data suggests Trump’s winning coalition has all but evaporated — if it ever existed at all. Let’s start with the voters who were supposed to cement the GOP’s new coalition: non‑white, working‑class/lower-income, and young Americans. From 2020 to 2024, these three groups moved an average of 12 points toward Trump at the presidential level (on vote margin), according to Pew. In 2025, the same groups snapped back to the left — this time by 25 points on average. In fact, in Virginia’s exit poll (actually “The Voter Poll” by SSRS, but I’m going to call it an “exit poll” colloquially), Republican margins fell across every single subgroup except older voters (this could be due to noise in the exit poll samples). This is exactly what you’d expect from an anti‑incumbent election driven by economic anxiety and frustration at anti-democratic and far-right policy outcomes — and after a supposedly durable ideological realignment immediately falls apart. 3. (From Trende and Morris) Policy emphasis and the beginnings of a new Democratic coalition. The message of Spanberger and Sherrill AND of Mamdani was an economic one. Class politics, not identity politics. "Affordability" is the mantra, and this makes it more difficult to play the "she is for they/them" card for Republicans. Again, shifting coalitions.
  23. Agree, very strange to be this rich at TE! And I don't hate the idea of leaning into the multiple TE looks even further. Just wish we had a Moulds to go with them (or heck, even a Lee Evans or Stevie Johnson would be perfect! ).
  24. I agree with both points...the new stadium will actually be much louder than highmark But at the same it will lose some of its blue collar charm and atmosphere 😕 It was bound to happen at some point. Just thankful for all the memories and great times we've been able to have over the years. This old barn will surely be missed
  25. Kincaid missed the Atlanta game, and barely played in carolina (14 snaps) since that was just the james cook show. Last week he played only 23 snaps and was outsnapped by knox and hawes, but also by samuel and shavers - and still managed 6 catches and 101 yards. So in the last 4 weeks including the bye he's only played 37 snaps and has 7 catches for 124 yards and a TD.
