Ed Oliver has no one but himself to blame for injuring his knee. Literally hurt it trying to trip someone.
I do hope all our guys are healthy soon. Our defense was exposed last week with Milano & Edmunds out & the Rams have Tyler Higbee who just caught 3 tds last week. The Rams will surely try to attack that area too after seeing Miami & Gesicki have success with it.
Fantasy football wise i've been rolling with the Bills D but just in case I picked up the Chargers D, because if our 2 lbs are out again I fear we'll be exposed again.
Good thing we have the NFL MVP in Josh Allen to bail us out if we need him to do it again

Just a sense from what I have seen over the years, but I believe that the franchise and fanbase that Fitzy associates with most closely (other than where he might be playing at any given time) is Buffalo. The Bills were the ones that gave him the big contract and it's where he became a starter. The franchise and community fit well with his personality. As a lifelong member of the Bills "family," plus their common membership in the NFL QB "club," these guys know each other and, as another poster mentioned, they have played golf together in the past. So they are friends to some extent, and just shared a hello and a few words after the game. Probably a few more words than during the typical QB-to-QB post-game handshake.
Yep. Fitz also is the best QB we've had here since Jim Kelly....
until this guy:

We knew they needed to & they came thru clutch in the end. Mustve been hard to stay engaged in the game, with the 36 minute delay & only getting the ball 8 times in the 3rd qtr.
Great win!

Is there actually a video or is it just ads? After the 11th ad in a row I gave up
No ads for me in the video. Maybe get a better ad blocker? I use Ublock Origin. It blocks everything, Youtube ads, ads on online streams, you name it. Its different than regular Ublock ad blocker & better than all the other ones i've tried. Can't recommend it enough if you're having to sit thru 11 ads while watching a video lol.
But yes theres a video of a kid who towers over all the other kids & stiff arms them to a long td run
twitter video for those who couldnt see it

Not only will he do whatever it takes to win the game. He also has lots of fun out there & gets excited & amped up for the games just like we do.
He's also a humble guy who grew up modestly & had to prove the naysayers wrong. Can't wait to watch him continue to grow.

Does anyone know when the billboard will go up in New England? I tried finding out online & have since tweeted FoxSports to find out. Just wondering when we can expect it.
Thanks!

And what will happen if he gets hurt next week or has a bad game? There'll be 30 pages of people saying how injury prone he is or how we should've gotten rid of the guy.
1 game against the Jets is too little to take much from imo. But i'll continue to hope for the best from him regardless of my feelings on him.

I could see Gase giving up one of those Firsts to try and create something that makes him look less like a garbage coach.
It wouldnt be Gase though to make that move, it'd be their GM Joe Douglas. And I dont get the impression that he's that stupid. They had a nice draft & im pretty sure he realizes they have too many holes currently to make a move for OBj worthwhile.

Yes there was fake noise playing inside the stadium at a 70 db level. And there was also a different fake noise on the tv broadcaster side, that was custom tailored by sound engineers to be more like how local fans would respond. It is at the broadcasters discretion as to play this additional sound track or not.... but most have to start the season.
Personally i'm glad they have the fake noise in the background. I just wish it were on the same loudness level that we average over here. 70db's is a lot different than 100 or 124db's we've been registered at in years past. But i do know people who say the fake noise is bad & they wish the games were played in silence, so they can hear all the on field communication better. Even though that works with say the UFC matches, I cant imagine football being played in silence. It'd be like watching a game in Miami for the whole year... screw that!
Anyways, if anyone is curious as to the details about all of this can read up on it here: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-broadcasts-2020-fake-crowd-noise-explained-covid/73nq9jby87yi1em47p84enrre

The Injuries are the one of two things that really have me disappointed after the the game. Losing Edmunds and milano for extended periods would be devastating.
the other thing that really bothers me is our run blocking. Our OL sucked today imo. They were adequate pass blocking but the jets have one of the worst pass rushes in history. Hopefully our OL had an off day run blocking due to the jets effectiveness vs the run
Jets run D is the strength of their team really. We had a plan from the start to beat them thru the air, evidenced by Allen getting his 1st 300 yard passing day today.
I think our struggles with the run today were part by design & a lack of rhythm for our backs, in combination with our right side Oline playing their 1st game together & a strong Jets run d.
I'll be more worried about it a couple weeks from now & we're still saying this.

Prior to the season starting, everyone was saying how there'd be an increase in soft tissue injuries this year. And looks like they were right.
Sure it wouldve been great to come out healthy & these injuries are concerning for sure. But we're not alone. Marlon Mack mightve tore his Achilles, Bell injured his hamstring, DeVante Parker injured his as well.
We'll know more about the situation in a few days. Just gotta hope for the best & plan for the worst if ur Coach

Yes it worked, I have some other methods up my sleeve, but this is a good back up and will consider it as may be more reliable.
Hmm there's now a Carbones Pizza in Buffalo. That is one place I missed from when I lived in Rochester
Thanks for the explanation!
Fwiw, Carbones has been in Buffalo for 40 years. From their website it said Buffalo was their 1st location here. The one in North Greece didnt open til 10 years later.

Regarding watching the games on Sunday. Plenty of people will be around come gametime. If people are unable to watch the game for whatever reason, BillsMafia will be there to help

It's funny how McD is the savior these days, and Rex was a joke show.
Rex was 1 game under .500 for his Bills career; McD is 2 games above.
Both live/lived right in the middle of the league where almost all teams reside.
But 1 is horrible and 1 is great.
Fair points i guess but Rex was obnoxious & his personality was all about himself. It was like he was a star of his own reality tv show. Whereas McD has class & is all about his players.
Rex coached a team that felt disjointed, McD's teams play like 1 cohesive unit.
And our trajection with McD is a team on the rise.
The only thing rising with Rex was his weight.

Check out Lynn's bookshelves in the background of this vid cap from this week's "Hard Knocks - Los Angeles" episode. And if you look closely, it appears that the red binders on the top-left of that same shelf may have the Bills logo as well ... ???
Good eye man. I didn't even notice that while watching it. Detective Merle over here haha

The fantasy football people out there are all expecting for Moss to eventually be the primary back, Moss is even going before Singletary in a lot of drafts. I suspect this is mostly groupthink speculation. I keep reading (on fantasy sites) that Moss has looked better in camp & Singletary has fumbled too much, but I've heard next to nothing positive or negative about Moss all camp & nothing of Devin fumbling.
If there was any truth to this, at least for week 1, I assume all of TBDers would know about it.
Yeah someone in my league drafted Singletary in the 5th rd. I grabbed Moss in the 9th. Regardless i think Devin will be the main guy between the 20's & Moss factoring inside the red zone. But just like with a lot of position groups, i expect we'll see a lot of rotation. And both will have good seasons

yeah theres plenty of good free options out there for those that need them
As far as planbeetv, idk about the legality around that one. It could be legal but theres not much info out there on it.
When you pay money for something, you expect it to be legal (at least I do). Otherwise you can just get it all for free with just the firestick & save yourself the $12/per month. You'd have to configure it 1st & download the appropriate apps. Maybe the $12 a month is them doing that all for you? If they were licensed to broadcast those channels, you'd see some affiliations posted somewhere.
Anyways it's probably not a good idea to post sites that skirt the "rules" on here. PM's are probably better for those who want to share.
Don't mean to be a debbie downer, just don't want to subject this board to anything unnecessarily. (God can't believe I'm saying this) haha

Reddit
Just so you know reddit doesn't share links to NFL streams anymore. They stopped this process last year.
There are plenty of other sites that will link to live games, but if anyone is going to reddit for that, they're sol.

Boy did he screw himself.. Seattle offered him $15M/yr and he turned it down... now he’s looking at a 1yr deal for $12M 👀
and the cap is going down next year 👀
👀
Cleveland offered him close to $20 Mill, depending on who's information you trust.
But Clowney said money wasn't the only condition, term obviously was important to him, but he wanted to go to a contender.
I'm not gonna believe anything about a signing until I see it confirmed.

Lol it is a tough crowd. I just don’t see the value other fans do keeping Roberts.
His longest punt return last year was 22 yards. Avg under 8 yards a return. No TDs. Was like 6th in the AFC and 9th overall. Takes up a spot of the 46 you can dress.
Some fans just see tremendous value. I don’t. Then they say I’m crazy... he actually gets cut and I still get the brunt. Some fans just feel like he has to be back there returning punts and kickoffs.
Last offseason i was singing the same tune as you. Til other posters changed my mind a bit, as its not all about big yards & return td's.
Having a guy back there that you can trust to be dependable & never cough up the rock is worth every penny & roster spot imo.
Especially when you factor in how close our games are. 1 costly turnover on ST's can be the difference between winning & losing.

Time for Tyler Kroft to step up EDIT: He Did!!!
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Nobody & i mean nobody should be hurting that much
There's plenty of good TE's out there... more than i can remember in recent years. Picking up Kroft on ur FF team is like picking up Croom
Theres much better options out there.
Dalton Schultz, Logan Thomas, Jordan Reed, Mo Alie Cox just to name a few, but we could list 20 other names better than Kroft this week.
All that being said, as a Bills fan i hope Kroft puts up 3 tds & 150 yards... but thats not likely to happen. One foot at a time with Kroft, which also describes his injury history.
