""I was hoping that we'd have something to announce by the end of December, but that didn't happen for various reasons, including two snowstorms – one in November and one in December. But I'm hoping we'll have something to announce by the end of this month." Poloncarz said the environmental report would not have been up for Legislature approval if all sides didn't feel confident that the rest of the deal would come together fairly quickly. Thursday's approval was supposed to take place at the Legislature's last session two weeks ago, but in light of the critical injury suffered by Bills safety Damar Hamlin, the decision was made to wait and refocus on Bills negotiations later." "“New York State, Erie County and the Buffalo Bills are actively finalizing all agreements and contracts related to the stadium, and this is another step forward in the process," Laura Magee said in a statement. "More details will be available for Monday's meeting."" https://buffalonews.com/news/local/getting-closer-final-deal-nears-as-legislators-approve-environmental-impact-study-for-new-bills-stadium/article_02805cc2-9818-11ed-b677-d3d291461f03.html Let's stop letting this "investigative" journalism strike fear into our hearts... it's ridiculous.

Brian Daboll, 1,000%. Those who wish to drive McD away are the same kind of fans that drove Andy Reid away from Philly and if you are one of those then JUST STOP IT.

DID YOU KNOW? Excluding quarterbacks, the Buffalo Bills have a better yards per carry average than the Bengals, by almost a full yard!!!!! YET The NARRATIVE out there is that we cannot run the ball and that Josh has to do it all. I'm sick and tired of this team being misrepresented because of lazy pundits. Even the most prominent ones are being lazy...

It's speculative and frankly either way this deal BENEFITS the area regardless of how many times Jim Heaney wants to try and submarine it with talk of impending doom if a, b, c, d, etc. happens. We are finally in a position where we have a great team and great ownership and possibly a beautiful new stadium on the way and then this nonsense is written. If you're a taxpayer paying for it then either get on board or move... I'd gladly take your place rather than be in this hole another minute.

The quote from Von Miller making its rounds is apropos I think!!! He needs to play.

He contradicted himself... yesterday he said if Cappa was out he'd lean Bills.... and NOW he says they will blow us out? I ALWAYS respond with CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

I was going to put Bills, but then changed it to PUSH. You won't get an argument from me. The difference in the game is whether or not Jordan Phillips plays. No DL pressure, more blitzes, more of an opportunity for Burrow to beat us.

I wouldn't say that they are the more talented team... QB Bills HB Bengals WR Bengals TE Bills OL Bills DL Bengals LB PUSH S Bills CB Bengals Special Teams Bills Dead even IMHO

There is no and...

I know... same old stupid formula

Blaming the media schtick gets really, really old... there are millions of fans out there with simplistic thought processes and biased opinions that you won't see on TV and they are just as bad! The media is an easy target because they are on TV and Joe Schmo from Pocono isn't unless you listen to sports talk radio where fans call in and HOO BOY some of them sound VERY simplistic.

The best regular season team should have the hardest schedule, not the #2 seed have THE hardest schedule.

I revel in the fan interaction between them and us... it's all talk in the end. We do have several Debbie Downers here and despite McDermott's success, our own fans STILL dog him. That's just another day in the Bills Mafia!

KC will also have to sacrifice their 9th home game for an International game in Munich, so that's at least fair. HOWEVER... How in the HELL do they play all of their toughest games - Bills, Bengals and Eagles - ALL AT HOME?!?!? We play the Chiefs, Bengals and Eagles ALL ON THE ROAD!!! That's baloney!!!!!

He only helps if he PLAYS. WE NEED HIM. Can't wait to see what his status is tomorrow and after.

The betting line for the Bengals/Bills game has changed from Cincinnati +4/+140 to +4 1/2/+160 because of the offensive line injuries. I think the line will move even further to +5 or even +5 1/2 if THREE are listed as out (La'el Collins being the guaranteed OUT of course, obviously) as Cappa's status is up in the air..

So you are the expert in these matters and know EXACTLY what you are talking about? What position do you/did you work in in the NFL to be the expert? Curious.

It's you. Haters? No, not haters... truth tellers. He is a HORRIBLE listen.

Ohh no, I agree that it is a big deal, but it must also be taken into account that Joe Cool was on the other side and only guys like Joe or Josh or Pat can turn a game like that into a win if it goes the other way against them.

Whenever I read the Josh Allen BS, I always think of this... when you have a QB with guts and who takes chances, sometimes you lose but sometimes you win the whole damn thing.

We oldheads call that the Immaculate Reception effect 😁 "Raiders safety George Atkinson offered some eyewitness testimony of the referee conference 40 years later in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "We wandered over to hear what they were talking about. We thought they were deciding if the play was dead; instead, they were concerned about security. I heard it with my own ears." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2662252-urban-legends-of-the-nfl-did-frightened-refs-stage-the-immaculate-reception

I know... it's funny how I have the total OPPOSITE attitude about the NBA as compared to the NFL... I miss the old NBA with Oak running around and being able to dominate defensively and lament the rules changes, but in the NFL the rules changes have made the game more open and trying to keep players more safe. Emphasis on the word trying because some of these roughing calls are terrible and some teams like the Dolphins were finding ways around the rules.

How old are you? Legit question. It's DEFINITELY not a worse product. The parity and talent and drama are MILES better than in the 80s and 90s because of training, nutrition, and rules changes.

You don't know that... if he doesn't fumble, who is to say they don't go for it or just kick a field goal and then Burrow does his thing and scores the GW TD? I say they lost because all they had was runs and Mark Andrews as a legit target. That's fair... as I said before the game, it's all moot now. Lamar is not going to play a down in a Ravens uni ever again. I am very interested to see what the Ravens do now.

So you missed what I said... their lack of offensive skill players and Greg Roman's game plans HURT Lamar. They leave him open to far too many hits and bad plays... you have to have guys out there he can throw to first, like the year Josh had with guys like Benjamin, Clay and Foster.
