I'm really interested in seeing how social media influences the Bills and the fans. Back during the Glory years of 88 to 94 there was no social media, lots of media for sure, but not social media like boards and blogs, and instant opinions and news. Back then there just wasn't enough outlets to report out on every little thing that happened like there is today. It sure is nice to have them in the conversation again though.

4-0 with Edwards.
Edwards also had 11 TD passes all of 2008. Allen has 12 through 4 games.
My bad. I just recall that got hurt (concussion I believe) and wasn't the same after he came back.

All I can keep thinking about is the year they started 5-0 under Trent Edwards, who is no Josh Allen....he wasn't even Joe Dufek (look it up) and then went 2-8 or something like that. But a very familiar feeling so far - we're all pretty giddy right now. Allen looks fantastic as does the entire offense. Need to get the defense shored up for the games coming. Should be a fun ride....

It was a clear TD on the first look and on the replay which of course means that it wasn't called a TD on the first look by the goal line official and then not not called a TD by the replay refs in NYC because its the NFL! The Carr fumble was another mystifying call. Clearly it was a fumble. I think the officials tried to squirm out of that one by saying they had blown the whistle before the fumble which if true is just another incompetent call. Officials also missed a blow to the head on Josh on that play where he hurt his shoulder. Just another day of mediocrity in NFL officiating. Its nice that this years Bills can overcome it.
When I saw the replay of the Carr play I actually thought it appeared to be an incomplete forward pass, albeit a very weak attempt at a shovel pass. But then when I heard the ref say that forward progress was stopped I was really confused.

You are 100% correct of the leading edge (the one closest to the 1 yd line) is the determining factor.
I was just trying to think like a ref in that situation. I wanted to try and figure out a reason for him calling Brown down at the one.
When you figure it out please let us know! 🙂 That play was a real headscratcher.

It wasn't called a TD live because of the bobble... It was enough for the ref to say...."wait possession wasn't right away, so I'll go with where he lands.'
But after he gained position and had both feed in bounds, the ball still broke the plane of the goal line and I thought that as soon as the ball breaks the plane the play ends? Is the plane the front edge of the goal line or the back edge? I always thought it was the front end, that the goal line is actually inside the end zone.
As noted above, I think the drunken ref play of the game theory is as good as any...

That Oakland game was the next week.I gave our tickets for that game to someone at work because we were still in mourning for my dad's death the day after the Bronco's game.
Gosh, sorry to hear that. It was a terrific two weeks for the Bills. I lost my dad some years ago and it sucked. Still does.

The challenge for this team are several in my opinion: 1) The team is one Allen run that ends with a hard hit and a season ending injury away from being mediocre; 2) The defense seems pretty porous, particularly against the run - when your secondary leads the team in tackles like it does now that's not great (Poyer, Hyde, Wallace and Johnson in that order). Its early and the meat of the schedule is ahead of the team. Their attitude seems really positive as it should be. I feel like 10-6 is a very good season and as someone else said, its a better 10-6 than last year based on strength of schedule.

I was in college watching that game. It says it was a Sunday but for some reason I thought it was a night game.
you might be thinking of a Sunday night game with Oakland that same year when the Bills had another great comeback.

I wondered about Virgil myself but could never come up with such a reasonable set of possibilities as yours! I hope its #7 - was tickled to see a TD right in front of Jalen.....

Encouraging considering they already announced Jets/Giants home games won't have fans. Having 15 to 20k fans there is better than nothing.
20,000ish was about what they got during the dark years of 84 and 85 wasn't it? At least that's what I recall it looking like.

The way all of the rules are designed to protect QBs, there's no reason to believe more won't be able to play into their late 30s/early 40s.
Didn't Brady just turn 43? That SOB may play for ever....Earl Morrall played until he hit the social security retirement age or something like that.....

As the CBA part drags on - the timing on opt outs goes further down the road.
Originally it was 8/1, but they are talking about 7 days after the agreement and players are sent the final letter - so currently it is the 4th, but that could extend until after the agreement and some players are waiting to see the final agreement because if they can get designated a high risk versus a normal opt out - that additional year of service might be critical.
My guess is we will still see a flurry over the next couple of days, but then there will still be a trickle until everything is settled.
I think you're right. And if someone or a few players test positive on a particular team before the deadline I think that will increase the numbers substantially.

Its hard for me to believe that the owners won't force some sort of a season, no matter the quality of the product on the field. Unless they have some sort of business interruption insurance they stand to lose a ton mu-la-la if there's no season. They'll do something, player health be damned.

Best move Ron Wilson ever made was bringing in Lou.....Never understood why they didn't get along....

He was a thorn in our side through the 70's but we had some great battles in the 80' and 90's. He was a true titan in the game.
Boy, "thorn in our side" is a bit of an understatement considering the Bills were 0-1970's against the Dolphins.....but point well taken. Didn't his last playoff game as a HC result in a loss against the Bills? Or am I thinking of something else?

hypothetically speaking.....if we were to have let's say an 8 game season and were to win the Super Bowl, would it feel less legit to you? The 1982 season was a shortened 9 game season and I always wondered how the Redskins fans felt about that. I would be happy but I do think it would feel sort of empty. What would you all think?
Now see, I didn't even remember that '82 was a shortened season and I do remember the Skins winning the SB because I lived in Tampa at the time. It seemed like from what I recall that there was a heck of a lot of hoopla related to the SB in the several weeks leading up to the event. Guess what I'm saying is - I would feel great.

Everytime I drive by Wegmans it's packed with cars.
Went to Wegman's in Richmond, VA last week to get Weber's mustard and Sahlen's hot dogs and the place was a zoo. Gonna have to do without both until this crisis clears up or the vaccine comes out. I'd personally be hard pressed to go to any sporting event, theater, movie house, etc. until more is known about transmission and measures taken or a vaccine comes out.

I feel certain my dad took me to a game or two at the Rockpile but can't recall specifics. I know he and my mom went to the '64 championship game and my mom got hurt when they ran on the field after the game - she tripped and fell and hurt her ankle. I don't think my dad took her to too many games after that.....?
Seriously though, what's up with these referees?

I have to agree - this one was not decided by the refs. Maybe this will light a fire under the team and they'll come out of this fired up for the next big game which just happens to be in six days....It seems to me that even during the SB years, the team threw a stinker in there some time in the first half of the season. Then it seemed to snap them back to the task at hand.
