Maybe sunday ticket in Canada will carry the game then. Worth asking them.

Yup, not many care about the Bills or the Jags which makes it the perfect test game for streaming. Sadly we are the guinea pigs.

Wow, I thought this was going to be about Thurman Thomas somehow

Can you imagine if the NFL did that? People are complaining now about subjective rules and the calls because of them. How long do they spend under the hood reviewing if the ball moved at all after hitting the ground on a catch? Can you just imagine looking at a replay to determine intent when someone puts their arms out to their sides after an incompletion 7 hour games!!!

So what you are saying is, the Bills won't be experiencing any of the London night life this week?

You get that part and parcel with Rex Ryan. That's just part of his personality. And his personality, I believe, was a big factor of his being hired by the Bills (and probably the Jets) in the first place. No a la carte Rex offering

Exactly, which is probably 99% of the reason he left when he did.

I just watched it a couple times and he seemed to have it locked tight by the time he hit the ground. Great catch. Only reason to challenge that is to hope for a zebra screwup or at the very least slow the bengal roll during the review.

If memory serves, he left when Ryan was hired. It is not inconceivable that he is biding his time working for the NFL until Ryan flames out in Buffalo. Who knows.

If Manuel plays, and he plays like he did yesterday which was like a decent NFL backup which is what he is, Shady and the rest of the team play as they did yesterday they beat the Jags. Losing to the Jags would indicate the team has given up. I just don't see that happening at all. And I've never ever been accused of being a homer

FiveThirtyEight sees a 8-8 record. But they are not Billievers

Not this?

It takes all kinds and it's all in good fun after all. Remember back to when there were threads and posts here by Bills fans that had no doubt in their minds that the Bills were going to make the Pats their B word a few weeks ago. It happens

This is the NFL though, so you cannot have a rule that makes sense and is easy to enforce. So the rule would have to be along the lines of you cannot grab the jersey within 7.1682738 inches of the collar.

Sensors can be so small and flexible these days the players wouldn't even know they were there.

Just looked at the injury report http://www.buffalobills.com/team/injury-report.html?campaign=fb_buf_page Karlos out Harvin, Taylor, Watkins questionable Even with Shady probable, he almost can't be 100% Bungles 24-16

So would Rex I'm sure

Years ago when you could still do this, I had a smartcard writer and I changed my zipcode on the card to one in Utica. Bada bing, no blackout. Had to change it back after the game though or I would be stuck watching Utica local news instead of Rochesters

What would be really nice if there were two separate audio tracks that you could switch on/off independently. One containing the announcers, and the other everything else.

You are hanging right in there. Only 1 model ahead of you and two tied

Classified as a secondary market for the Bills.

I rarely accept excuses, but being down your starting QB is a very tough cross to bear for ANY team. And if you look at how close the models have the game, and the discrepancy between them and the humans making their selections, you see just how much the QB means to them as well (humans know TT is hurt whereas the models do not). You are welcome! I don't gamble either. My main interest is in how the models do versus their human "expert" counterparts

One network, ESPN I think, has experimented with no announcers in the past. Hockey for sure, not sure if anyone ever tried it with football. I remember enjoying it at the time but it must not have been very popular because it didn't seem to catch on. Probably because most fans enjoy homer bias.

Thanks. One lazy person on ESPN still to go.

Added partial ESPN.
