Obviously, but what a baby. I though players want to play. The Bills are going to the playoffs. Doesn't Slay want a shot at a ring? Apparently he'd rather pout.

It's not. There were some bad docs. More than a few. But the vast majority are not that. Ever get ripped off by a contractor? Lousy real estate agent? Bad lawyer? Botched police investigation? Deceitful big box salesman? Of course something bad can happen, and happen more than once. But it's not a reason to dispose of baby and bathwater.

Maybe he just doesn't want to play here Either way what's the big deal

For QBs as cerebral and experienced as Rivers it’s like riding a bike. He will need to knock off some rust for sure, but he will not see anything from a defense that he hasn’t seen countless times before.

5 catches in ROOKIE year. He’s 5th WR on a pretty stacked WR room. Diggs-Boutte-Hollins—Douglas-Chism. A stacked TE room with Henry and Hooper. Kyle Williams is making plays when his number is called. They have been trying to get him more involved. He’s been making highlight catches, and impressing on kick returns. https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/onsi/news/new-england-patriots-kyle-williams-turning-heads-new-kick-returner I know how you need to get the last word in A.D. and love to say no, I’m right, you are wrong. Kyle Williams not good blah blah whatever. Don’t you think Kyle Williams would improve the Bills? 4.4 speed is one major skillset the Bills is missing. The Texans played press the whole game. We could use him as a returner. Don’t you agree Kyle Williams would of been a much, much better draft pick then Landon Jackson? and I’m jealous of the Pats WR room. Forget Diggs, give Josh Boutte, Williams, Hollins, Douglas- Josh passing numbers would skyrocket I don’t think we need WR room loaded with a superstars. Just WRs who can open (and catch).

Seeing they already played a SNF game, they can’t do 2

Guardian caps I think they're called. They're still in use this season around the league although other than Rapp I don't recall too many Bills ever wearing them. Taron Johnson for a game or 2 last season maybe, if memory serves me correctly. My son and I were shouting at the TV last week urging Tee Higgins to put one on!

10 fumbles in 94 career NFL games. Is that a lot?

How are they fading when they won 10 in a row

Brain pillows…

We are unlikely to catch the Pats for the division crown, but let's not let them clinch it against us.

The season is almost done. It would take longer for the family to move than to just play out the season. That's why I think this excuse is BS. The family is already in Philly, not in Pittsburgh. Slay can get a nice suite at a Buffalo hotel, or bunk with a teammate, and play out the string with the Bills, then go home in 5-6 weeks, 8 if we go all the way.

Could we at least just be blessed with a Lombardi?

Its not necessarily bad science, but simply science that is limited by its design. Design was observational study. Whenever you read about any study, in any medical journal, think about the design. For instance, lets say that your hypothesis is that snow shoveling causes fatal heart attacks. Here are 4 study designs, in order of weakest to strongest. 1) Case report. a doc publishes a report that some dude was shoveling snow, had a hear attack, and died. No controls. 2) Case series. A doc publishes that he saw 10 patients in the ER over the last 3 years who were shoveling snow when they developed a heart attack. No controls. 3) Case control. A doc studies hear attack patients who are in the hospital, and asks them when they last shoveled snow. The shovers are the cases, non shovelers are the controls. 4) Cohort study. Men choose either to be shovlers, or hire a neighbor kid, and never touch a shovel. You then follow these men for months to years, and see if the shovelers have more heart attacks. Advantage is this is now prospective, with controls. Disadvantage is that men choose which group they are in. Maybe younger healthier guys are mostly shovelers, and older sickly guys choose to be non-shovelers. 5) Randomized experiment. Men are randomly placed into groups where they either shovel or dont. Conceptually, this is the best experimental design. Obviously, this type of design is often unethical or not feasible for other reasons. And these are often very costly studies. The best designs for vaccines are this type of design, where one group gets the vaccine, the other group gets a placebo, and the groups are chosen randomly. This was the design for the landmark mRNA vaccines, involving ~ 30K volunteers, and published in the NEJM. The linked study above is an observational study. This is a type of case control, suboptimal as the numbers of cases and controls are far different. These are generally considered weak evidence in the medical community, and usually more of a hypothesis generating study, as opposed to a definitive study.

Obviously the Bills have to beat them, but I certainly think the Ravens and Dolphins are both quite capable of beating the Patriots.

Would love to have it on SNF

Other players around the league are using them.

Patriots are a below average rushing team. Pats defense is above average though, but not significantly better than the Bills have been. For this game I expect Patriots offense to look good in the first half, maybe score 17 or so. I think Bills will do a much better job on Diggs than the first game though (be hard to do worse). But the 2nd half I think the Bills defense will "get it" and Patriots will start to struggle. Certainly a key will be the pass rush which was terrible last week for the most part. The key for Bills offense is Cook has to have a decent game. I expect some good play action with Allen under center and keep the Pats defense guessing. And of course Josh Allen is going to have to step up again and compensate for his receivers inability to get open. Bills 31-20

Last year I think we had one or two players, maybe Rapp?, who wore the helmet pillows (I guess they have some sort of official name but that's what they look like to me). This year I don't think any Bills are using it and I'm surprised that it hasn't caught on around the league, considering what appears to be an obvious safety benefit. OK, they look ridiculous, but probably face guards did too when they were new. (Kinda reminds me of hockey back in the '60s when only one or two players wore helmets, and the Amerks had a goalie, Bobby Perrault, who didn't wear a mask or a helmet at all. He's dead now.) Anyway I'd love to have the wisdom of my fellow posters on this all-important topic.

Yes that is the Bills tailgate lot. But here's a pro tip...park across the street (Route 1) at Foxboro Terminals. Then walk across to hang with your fellow Bills fans. Why do that? Because when you leave Foxboro Terminals you can easily get to I-95 northbound and be on your way. Also Foxboro Terminals is on the same side of Route 1 as the stadium, so you don't have to cross the road to get to your car after. (It's still almost a mile walk!) If you park at Rt.1 Liquors you have to leave going south on Route 1 and then you are driving back intro the schmozzle of cars leaving the stadium lots.

Fair statement. But if it can happen once, it can happen again.

Look at these guys culturally appropriating Rush. Bet they get no squaws at their shows either.

yup. it was a travesty. and they were successfully prosecuted. many bad docs went to jail. There are definitely things I don't like about pharma. price gouging and finding ways around patent expirations are 2 of the big ones (both could be largely solved by single payer and a national formulary. but without big pharma, the bugs would have won the antibiotic wars years ago and many cancers would still have a life expectancy of less than a year. many more conditions where their research investments have paid huge dividends to humanity.
