  1. At least there is a DVR solution for commercials, although you run the risk of seeing the score from IMs on your phone or inadvertently seeing the score elsewhere. My biggest gripe with the NFL greed are the Thursday night games and the additional regular season game. The Thursday games truly put players at risk given the lack of recuperation time, and I think the crappy quality of the games on Thursday reflect it. Expecting players to go full bore for 17 games is also hard on the players (and creates an imbalance in home/away games, but that's another story). The only reason for Thursday games and an extra regular season game is the $$$$$ brought it. Both diminish the quality of play and are detrimental to health of athletes.

    Cook is our top RB. I love how Motor plays, but Cook has a better ability to turn nothing into something, and is more of a threat to break it when he gets the ball.

     

     

     

    I slightly disagree here. Singletary is tough. That last carry was epic. Cook has better YPC for the season, but I think that's somewhat due to Singletary being used in more traditional rushing situations. In any event, I think they're a good 1-2 combo.

    Thuney may have had a serious injury today, and Kelce looked banged up. The Chiefs’ core may starting to weaken with age. Looks like Mahomes is carrying them. They barely beat Denver with Wilson playing truly terrible football, like Peterman level.
     

    Mac Jones won, barely, against a passing team down to their third QB.

     

    Tom Brady needed 400 yards and 3 long TDs to beat the Panthers by a score.

     

    Eagles have run into a rough patch ever since Hurts got hurt. 
     

    No team in the NFL should scare the Bills. Let this be the year. 

    Bills can beat anyone, but lose tomorrow night and you have to win two on the road in the playoffs, not an easy feat. Win the next two and everything looks possible.

    I've only read the first page of posts.

     

    I've always assumed I would go.  I actually planned a different vacation around it.  But when I stop and think about it coldly, it's really hard to justify.  For me, I think, the determining factor will be what I can get tickets for.   I don't know how the priority list works with the tickets the team will get to season ticket holders.  If I'm high enough on the list, I could get tickets at face value.   Even that, whatever it is, would be a big-ticket item, but at least that would be a lot better than having to pay three or five times that much to buy them in the after market.  

     

    My wife and I went to XXV.   We were in different financial circumstances then, and my wife sort of didn't ask and I sort of didn't tell her how much I spent to get tickets.   And yes, the game ended badly, but I have never for a moment regretted spending the money to it experience that game.   It's an iconic Bills game, and to have been there, regardless of the outcome, was worth it.  The money, we earned back.  The memories of that experience connects me to the Bills for all time.   Just like having been at 64 AFL championship.  My dad paid for tickets, and they were a pittance, not like today.  It's not about the money.  It's about a lifetime of memories.  

    I'd prefer a lifetime of memories that a trip to Europe or Australia or Africa might provide for that money, but everyone's priorities and desires differ, so I don't criticize anyone for spending that kind of money.

  5. Happily, the Bills have solved most of the problems with access to games by being a powerhouse team. I'm in AZ and for the most part never had the Bills available. This season, however, given the Bills marquee status, they have been on in AZ multiple times in addition to the Sunday night, Monday night and Thursday games. Out of 14 games so far I think only 3 haven't been available in AZ.

    A text book perfect tackle. White's ribs must been broken. Perhaps Milano could teach the other members of the Bills D in technique as that was exceptional!

    That's the point - it was perfect technique. Very effective and greatly reduces any chance for a roughing penalty. I don't understand guys who lead with their helmets and then get all pissy when they're called for a penalty. Milano's tackle should be on every instructional video.

    They are reading and hearing the noise from the media, Power rankings, SB talk, ect, Meanwhile KC just rolling along , Josh is not handling the fame and praise well, The picks are a big problem, The I can do anything throws are killing us, this team has no killer or put team away , Secondary is a mess Lewis and Johnson have no business being out there, Our DB's never ever look back for the ball. Wildcard at best me think

    I'll cut the defense some slack. You have guys in the secondary out there who would likely be on the practice squad absent injuries. Losing the best safety tandem in football inevitably hurts. What's going on with Allen is far more inexplicable. I'd take a closer look at the 1st half other Packer game to see if he suffered a possible concussion. His decision making in the last 10 quarters is full of bonehead decisions and bad throws. That last interception was Noah Petermanesque.
