Lots of good advice on the board. I live in Chicago and am flying to NYC for the weekend to hangout with a bunch of old friends for the weekend. All of them will be at the wedding and ALL of them are hardcore NFL fans. I'm in multiple fantasy leagues with these guys. There will be a large contingent of Bills fans (driving in from western NY) and also a few die hard pats friends (from Boston). Those guys are going to be following the scores and the Pats guys are content with watching on their phones knowing it will be in and out. So that kind of screws me over. I felt I practically invented the TIVO delay back in the early 90's (on VCR). I've been doing this for NBA and NFL and MLB for years and thankfully have had zero blown games (out of maybe 75+ attempts). But this time is different. After the NYC wedding, driving home with my brother (another Bills fan who is ok with missing the game) 5 hours back home (radio silence will be tough on an NFL day car trip back home). I think I'm doomed to quietly watch it on the phone and rewatch it when I get home. I guess I'll get him something really nice for a wedding present!

Folks, I'm presented with the ultimate Bills viewing conflict. My friend (non sports fan) is having his wedding reception at noon in NYC this Sunday! I'm a DirecTV subscriber with the mobile To Go package. I also have a laptop with 4G (sprint) and a phone with 4G. No wifi in the wedding hall. 4G probably won't work. My fall back is to watch the game on 3G on my phone with a pair of headphones during the wedding (suboptimal solution). Anyone have any other ideas? I don't have a slingbox (although I may go and buy one if I can't come up with another solution). Is there a way to watch the game immediately after its over online? I can probably pull off not knowing or hearing the score for a few hours and then watch the game immediately afterwards but I'm not sure when the replays are available. Any help appreciated. I can't believe I've avoided this type of situation for 15 years (I've done the TIVO delay many times and never found out the results ahead of time).

Pretty benign comment. I hope he says they aren't the Chiefs. Much ado about nothing.

Great news. So glad to see him turn his life around. 2 years ago nobody would spit on him and now he seems to have a bright future. Always great to see stories like this. What saddens me is those out there that continue to espouse hate. Specifically, the idiot above who hopes he blows out his knee. That type of sickening attitude is a bit scary in today's world. Who thinks like that? The deal is a good one for Philly. Its not 100 million dollars--its 40 million. Not a bad investment given what Vick is capable of doing. He continues to grow under Reid and who knows how much better he can get. The key will be keeping him healthy though but even 12 games a year is a good deal for that money.

I don't get the personal hate directed towards Maybin in this group. Its not as if he chose to under perform to the level he was drafted at. He worked hard, never caused locker room trouble, and was generally a good guy. He just didn't live up to the expectations of the coaches. I wish him the best and hope he dominates on the Jets for 14 weeks of the year.

"see the arab play?" Unless you are Arab yourself, you sound like a condescending bigot.

I think you are so incredibly off base its ridiculous. Its easy to have this opinion when you or your home is not vandalized or threatened. These two punk kids may have ruined his lawn but what if he had family in there? Kids? Are you seriously telling me you are comfortable in a world where your kids are at home and idiot kids are running around outside defacing your home? Its only a matter of consequence that they chose to ruin the lawn as opposed to spray graffiti on his house as opposed to throw a rock threw a window as opposed to setting it on fire. Reality check for you please.

You, sir, are an idiot. Guys like this should be banned from this site. Advocating vandalism and hate crimes? Its this clown's attitude that gives the rest of us a bad name. Buffalo fans were a national embarassment because of two idiot kids and guys like this who support their actions.

I concur. Calling maybin out? You are an idiot.

Solid post. While the rest of he board is ready to write off the team after a 1 point loss to a team where Cris Carter or Tom Jackson said "they could hang 70 on them tonight" I think we did ok. I'm much more positive going into next week. If it takes an act of god, some fluke plays, and the best KR of last year having a terrible bone headed play to lose to the top ranked Pats, I'd take that any day. O line looked very good and came to play. The offense moved the ball-despite the checkdowns. I liked the flow of the game. I liked the pressure that we had on Brady for 3 quarters. I think we go from "will we win 5 games?" to "do we have a shot at the playoffs?"

Demetrius Bell Haters....are your kidding? First of all, if you didn't expect this kid who has 5 yrs of football under his belt to not have some rookie mistakes you're kidding yourselves. 2 illegal formations were his fault--he will learn. Those aren't mistakes of skill. They are mistakes of being a freaking rookie. I'm not sure what game you guys were watching. Bell looked solid on 80-90% of his plays. TE had relatively good blind side protection. If this was Bell's first game then I'm pretty happy about the rest of the year. The kid has only upside.

Am I the only one who has a completely different perception of the team after this game? Yeah they blew a game that they should won. Yeah it hurts. But 4 hours ago I had the following concerns: Please don't get blown out 50-0. Line please don't suck and be the worst iteration ever. Running game please don't disappear without Marshawn and only 2 backs on the roster. Edwards please don't put up pre-season like numbers and make us beg for good ol' JP. Defense please don't give the QB hours to pass. Well we went against the best team in the NFl and held our own on hostile territory. All my concerns were answered in the positive. I no longer am worried about 4-12 and can start dreaming of a playoff shot again. Get over it eveyone, its week 1 on the road vs the best team in the nfl where we were favored to lose by 12.

You guys all need to chill out here. You hate McKelvin? Do you think he intentionally chose to fumble. I'm sure he feels 100 x's worse that you guys. He made a mistake, get over it. They lost. Calling for his death is not only assinine, it really shows your character. Where was everyone when he was the best KR man in the league last year? Were you calling for his death then? God damn. What I learned from this game is: 1. The defense is legit. 2. Fred Jackson is legit. 3. Edwards may have given us a respite from our concern. 4. This line won't be half bad once they get some experience. They certainly did a decent job minus some rookie mistake penalties which will ease out over time.

The link does not seem to go to the right place....am interested in the mount.

Why are you guys so ready to believe this dumb 59 year old woman's story? And why aren't we asking the primary question here...was this woman white? Young black man. Old white lady. Heard this story a million times. A racist white lady scared of big black men getting scared and using her prejudices to indict said big black man 2 months later based on nothing substantial is a FAR MORE BELIEVABLE story than the guy jerking off outside some old bag's house. Play the statisitical odds. Racist white woman vs. this absurd story. Come on guys, stop being stupid. I feel bad that this idiot woman has ruined his reputation.
