Monday at 5 eastern? Good god. Tough but doable for us Bills TV watchers. It's at least a half day off from work for KC in person people.

I suspect that was the prime directive this past off season. Get pass blocking so Allen doesn't need to run for his life every time he drops back to pass. IMO, pass blocking is one thing. But run blocking requires a lot more speed, quickness, and overall skill.

I respectfully disagree. I get where you are coming from, but a QB should be a QB and not a extra RB IMO. If he goes down the season is over ... period. So in no way do I intentionally put him in harms way multiple times a game and risk the entire season by him being injured. Running is what you pay RB's for, use them.

The Bills Titans game tonight seals the deal for me. Practice in the NFL means exactly squat. The Bills have been practicing like normal. The Titans have practiced like twice in the last 2 weeks, Had zoom meetings. And they kick the living crap out of and totally outplay the Bills in every way tonight. Plus no preseason for everyone and yet they all played well week 1. Practice means nothing at that level.

So over 20 positives on the Titans. In theory they should have not been practicing for some time. And moving the game from Sunday to Tuesday is the answer ... really?

I saw this and found it interesting. They have other sports and other non-sports things as well. I find it interesting and disturbing they don't tout their accuracy. Anyone have any experience with them? SWARM AI NFL

And stop even reading it. Bolded: Was your first clue all the MVP talk going on here already?

NFC West team in week 3 is the biggest game of the year huh. smh It is the first look at how the team and Allen in particular does against a quality opponent and will give a first look at what this team really is this season. But biggest of the year, hardly. At the very least, the pats games are much bigger.

Very logical and I agree. But I don't think McD is wired that way. Particularly the way Chan and Fitz abused the middle of the field.

Who cares what they think or say?

We will see what the team, and particularly Josh, really are after those games. He looked very good for the most part in the first two games, but against 2 dumpster fire teams. Josh made some touch passes in both of those games that he would not have even tried in previous years, and with Diggs on the roster he has multiple receivers that can catch them. If he plays as well in the next 4 as he has in the first 2, the Bills really may have something this season.

Believe it or not no. There is actually a fish bar somewhere, and a few raiders bars. I was in the fish bar once years ago, but never went again. Don't even remember the name

Interesting. Here in Rochester there were two anchor bars that after maybe a year or so both closed. There is one Duffs (that I know of anyway) that seems to be doing well. Maybe Rochester wing eaters have a more discerning taste for wings than people in GA. ;). But I actually had no idea either chain made it out of NY!

Dammmmmmmmmmn that sounds good

One of those pages, and I think its this one, has a "Home Team" "expert" that just picks the home team every game and it tends to do better than a lot of the human "experts".

My interest has been at zero for years except for the Bills. I watch at home so fans or no fans makes no difference at all to me. Some say they have lower interest this year because of more important things going on, but news flash, it's a freaking game so there is literally always something more important going on every sunday every season. So in short, my interest level is no different this year versus previous years and my "investment level" is still the same, watching the Bills games every week and that's pretty much it.

It likely would not be up to the Bills, but NYS. Even if the gov decided to try it, the first game there would be tailgaters filmed doing stupid things and that would be that. Just do what baseball is doing, it got off to a rocky start but is doing better than I thought it would. But when baseball had a team hit with covid they could postpone and make up missed games with double headers. Football can't do that. But at least the fans would get to see some games, and the NFL gets the TV money.

That's interesting because I get channel 8 crystal clear but cannot get 10 or 13 at all. It must depend on where we both live and the direction to the antennas. To answer the OP's question. No I would not. Only hard core fans would, and IMO there aren't enough of those to make such a network feasible. Even YES has mainly non yankees stuff, such as Manchester United (I believe or is it Chelsea) premier league soccer games. Plus the existing NFL contracts with TV and DirectTV would preclude such a network broadcasting Bills games live. YES does broadcast Yankees games live.

You're kidding right? Are you paying attention to MLB now at all, or schools opening, or anything else? There are new significant developments nearly every week.

One thing that puzzles me is why the "deadline" to decide is now. I would expect if someone next week comes to the conclusion they need to opt out, they'll do it and ***** the NFLs deadline.

It's crazy that this even needs to be said, but it does for some.

I did watch a lot of the habs/pens game last night. Very high quality. But I have noticed too that there seems to be a overall lack of hitting in all of the games. Maybe they are all still trying to get back in game shape and don't want to get hurt.

Quality has been fine, I agree. But the pseudo-season-playoffs in july/august just hasn't grabbed me like hockey seasons always have. Plus jumping right into a playoff series format probably has something to do with it. I'll watch some I'm sure, but basically for me, last season was over when they shut it down.

Quite frankly, this season has become meaningless with the opt outs etc. IMO. Much like NHL/NBA/MLB. If they try and have the season, and I'm sure they will at least try as there is too much TV money on the table to pass up, I doubt I will be interested enough to watch much. NHL is my top sport and I am barely watching any of that now. Just can't generate any interest.

Baseball is about to shut down because they made the same mistake as the NFL is planning, teams travelling and going home every day. NBA did it smart keeping the players in a bubble. Harder to do for NFL with most of the games traditionally played just on Sundays.
