Metal Man

There is absolutely zero traditional Thanksgiving foods I actually enjoy, including turkey. Depending on the company I will force some small portions down to be polite but there isn't a single thing on the menu that I would ever voluntarily choose to eat on any other day.

Too early to start the 2026 Who's going to Vegas thread?

So true. His free throw motion looks crazy. I was shocked his first two in went in and I can't recall if he made another all night after that.

I feel like it has to be the Jets to keep with tradition.

Disappointing loss. Chance to win on the last shot in a game a lot of people didn't expect them to be able to compete in especially without their top scorer. Hardest part for me is losing the game by 4 while missing 17 free throws. 🤢 Hopefully they can get that cleaned up and take it to Kansas this afternoon.

After playing with the ESPN Playoff machine this morning 3-3 should be enough to get in as the 6 in most of the probable scenarios. The match-up that came about the most would be facing the Colts in the WC round. Hard to imagine not giving up 200+ to Taylor in that game though. So for me I think they make it but get bounced by Indy or Baltimore in the first round and probably in a pretty lopsided way.

And yet, it never actually appeared that way as far as crowd noise went. During the actual games it was a neutral crowd at best and sometimes even an away crowd as it appeared to draw a good amount of Canadians who just wanted to root against the Bills.

I see lots of people keep pointing to the last place schedule but I'm not sure how much that factors in seeing it is only 3 games. Right now they are 1-1 in those games with the NYG still to go while Buffalo is 1-0 with Houston and Philly still to go so worst case scenario it is only a 1 win advantage for the Pats***. Problem right now is Buffalo lost to them head to head, lost to a team that they beat in Atlanta, and will lose to another team they beat in Tampa if Buffalo can't get it together and take care of business this weekend. Now if the Bills lose the division by 1 game and those 3 games were the difference then maybe there is an argument for the weak schedule thing but as of right now that seems a little overblown to me.

One person did get knocked out this week by the GB loss. 14 left now.

Well this "reporting" seems to mainly be going off of social media reactions to the cheering so it doesn't surprise me that all the swifties got upset at the cheering and started hate-tweeting without understanding the context. I also thought it obvious that the cheering had a lot more to do with the defense making a big stop in a critical spot in the game.

Ugh, for me the take away on that video is a reminder on how awful football games with no fans were. 😔

Definitely a make or break year for Red but I'm not sure Cuse has much hope in the new NIL/Transfer Portal age. To me this past NCAA tournament was one of the most boring I can remember with all the big schools just dominating. Can't be a coincidence that happened along with the Nil and transfer stuff blowing up.

The 4th place schedule thing is a little overblown to me. It is only a difference of 3 games. They have Raiders, Titans, Giants while Bills have Chiefs, Texans, Eagles.... everything else is the same. I realize 3 games can make a difference in a divisional race but we have to wait until all those games are played to see if it was what made the real difference. Right now they are 1-1 with the Giants still to come while the Bills play their first this weekend.

I kind of forgot about that seasons slump. Kind of parallels this season so far in some ways. Home prime time game loss to the Pats*** 4-2 going into the bye in week 7 after a rough loss. Played the NFC south and also played the panthers out of the bye (and smoked them so hopefully that sticks too) Also though wasn't it actually the Pats*** who were leading the division for a while? Thought that was during the miraculous Mac Jones 7 winning streak. In any case here's to hoping it plays out in a similar way with the Bills pulling ahead of the Pats*** in the division with a late season win in Foxboro.
