  1. Love Kincaid, he and Knox really aren’t interchangeable. Knox will be nice to have back as an in-line blocker who can also slip out and make some catches. Kincaid is on pace for the greatest rookie season ever by a TE. Kid could be special. Loved watching him just playing tonight, down field blocking, mixing it up after plays, he is a competitor with amazing hands. Knox will be good to have back when Bills want to run 12 personnel and keep teams guessing.

    well you know what would solve that problem right? If people refuse to buy tickets to watch or travel to these games.  Should the owners refuse to allow their teams to travel under the circumstances the Bills just had. Absolutely (in retrospect) .  But will they lose money doing so? The owners and their greed for money will make those calls moving forward. 

     

    For me this game was a case of I didn't realize how much jet lag would affect the players. I imagined a long rest in a comfy flight across the pond. Play the game and get out of dodge easy peasy.

     

    **Blech*** I was wrong

     

    what you wrote in red reads 100% logical and spot on mate.

    Goodell said it was an experiment. The game on Sunday should have served as the death knell in international play.  I really don’t understand what the purpose of these games is, people in England have amazing sporting events to go and see. Television provides the overseas markets access to the NFL. Is there any data to show how much this series has grown the brand?

  3. How does fatigue present in a game? Sloppy play, for example, penalties and mental mistakes like dropped passes, holdings, etc… 

    What else happens when players are fatigued? Injuries. Terrible look for the league and Goodell. 
    Oh and way to rob everyone of a great matchup by having teams play over there…can we just stop with this international bs? If I want to see a Premier League match, I have to hop on a plane and fly across the pond, same should be true for them to come see football. You just proved you will never have a team over there. Owners won’t risk it.

    One of my favorite childhood memories.  I was seven years old and watched all the games with my Dad.   

     

    He watched all the Bills games but grew up a Raiders fan.   He'd tell me great stories about the Assassin Jack Tatum, Snake Stabler and the Mad Bomber Daryle Lamonica.  When I first found out he wasn't a Bills fan I was kind of crushed but I wouldn't change a thing as the stories he told me about the 1960s and 1970s football were some of my favorite times with him.  

     

    Long story short I remember the week leading up to the game being a huge deal.  97 rock had the parody song "Raiders in the Storm" (No Snow in Californ).  My Dad was in a local band and  his band mates would call the house after every Bills score to give him crap.  Needless to say the phone rang non stop.   By the time it was 41-3 all he could do was laugh.   Great memory of my Father, awesome game.

    Great story and made me think of my experience watching this game with my dad. Thank you! I am not sure how it is for you, but some of my fondest memories of my father have to do with sports and the Bills in particular.

    I mean he was clearly 4th of 4 among our boundary options in pre-season by camp reports and what we saw on games. Still kinda feel we are gonna need him for the Dolphins games though. He is our best olay vs Tyreek IMO.

    Agree with this. He is going to be used as a matchup corner till he learns the system better.

    Why are you here?

    For attention. My guess is they didn’t get enough attention from someone at some point in their life and now they are so hungry for it they have confused negative reactions as a positive because it invokes some feeling in them. They most likely struggles with being connected to the internal experience. We can have compassion for them.

    0:50 into the video you can see Spencer Brown get absolutely obliterated by a linebacker. 

     

    A humongous beast of a right tackle that gets taken out by a man much smaller.

     

    But yes, Torrence played well. I am excited about him. He is the first piece in rebuilding this o-line. We will need a new Center, RT and LT in the next year or two.

    Stay on topic.

    I didn't watch it, but read that when he was diagnosed with Bipolar, he didn't accept it and went into a spiral. As one who also has Bipolar, unless you find the right partner/therapy/medication, it is nothing to play around with. I was standing on the deck of the Golden Gate Bridge, ready to jump. My therapist at the time played around with my medication. Thankfully I walked off and went to the Psych ER instead, got my meds straightened out, and reconnected with my now wife 4 months later. 

    Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. I work at an Inpatient Level Of Care Mental Health Facility, I work everyday with people diagnosed with Bipolar, we need more awareness and treatment options.
