I hate that phrase “trap game,” but this suddenly feels like a trap game. Either the Cheatriots take advantage of an emotionally drained Bills team and get the W, or the Bills go Beast Mode for Hamlin and hang 50 on them. Let’s hope for the latter, but my gut says we come out fairly flat.

Milano is playing near an All-Pro level. Major oversight.

Have you considered sitting on the football and throwing the armchair instead? Worth a try…

I had the same thought a few days ago. Makes a ton of sense. Trouble is, it only makes sense to the Giants if they’re not competitive. At the moment, they’re exceeding expectations, and in a weak NFC, they’re a wild card contender until proven otherwise. Unfortunately, I don’t see them being eliminated before the trade deadline. Best thing that could happen for the Giants is to learn they’re not ready yet and make the trade. Acquire the capital they’ll need to rebuild the team the right way.

Okay, last one…I promise: Allen throws stiff arms. Tua is still learning how to throw a football.

Take heart, Dolphins fans: Your lives could always be worse. You could be Browns fans.

How many fourth down plays have we had this year? Like…three? If I ran this offense, I wouldn’t lose a ton of sleep over missing a 3rd and 1 from time to time because I’d go for it on 4th and 1 every time. This team just doesn’t miss on back-to-back plays often (regardless of down and distance). How many times has Josh thrown two consecutive incompletions this year? If it has happened on fewer than 5% of drop backs, that says good things about my odds of converting one yard on two tries.

We’re both 2 ‘n’ 0. You have faith in Tua? No. See what I did there?

This is a great thread about abbreviations.

Hey, thanks!

31 - 13, Bills

Sure, that’s a fair point. And as a counterpoint, there are at least eight home games a year, so that’s at least 560,000 seats — that’s a lot of butts. Don’t get me wrong, I recognize tickets are expensive…and the inflation of prices happened rather quickly. But that’s the price we pay for having such a good team. Good teams breed popularity, popularity breeds demand, and high demand breeds premium prices for a premium product. As much as I’d love to take my kids to games, I’d much rather have a good team — I can find infinite ways to share wonderful experiences and create memories with my kids, but a championship-caliber team is a rarity.

I don’t get people saying “There’s folks who wanna take their kid or grandkid to a game, but they can’t afford it.” Obviously 70,000 people were able to afford it — including a sold-out family section. Let’s not act like super wealthy elite 1% are depriving the working folks a chance at tickets. The combined population of Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse is only 600,000. Someone’s filling the stands. Yes, tickets are expensive. So are trips to Disney, restocking the fridge with beer every week, XBox subscriptions, lotto tickets, cable TV, unnecessarily large pickup trucks, addiction to cigarettes, UFC fight night, pumpkin spice lattes, and cheating on your wife. We all make choices.

I saw Tenuta at the airport, along with Dion, Tremaine, and several others. He is an absolute GIANT of a human being. He legitimately made Tremaine Edmunds and Dion Dawkins look small. If he has any athleticism or blocking ability, that’d be…useful.

This is all starting to feel like an SEO takeover…

Can we use some of these surplus picks to draft for the Sabres? I’m new to how the draft works.

Why don’t we just give him the nickname “Breece Hall” and close two threads at once?

Ah, the “Hear Me Out” Double Down. A classic. I’m sold. We should probably replace our coaching staff and GM, too. Ya know…because Internet and stuff.

I think I’ve figured out a solution that keeps the Bills in Buffalo and satisfies the “not with my tax dollars”/“it’s a bad deal” crowd: Get rid of all stadiums and tell them to play football in the grass lot in the apartment complex. It’s cost-efficient, it’s natural grass, and it’s just how you remember it from the good ol’ days. Everybody wins.

I found footage of Gilmore returning to the Bills.

Fixed it for ya. Bills gonna lead the league in takeaways this year. Watch.

What about “former Bills first round picks currently playing on their third team?” Isn’t Shaq Lawson the obvious answer here?

Fitz couldn’t cover his own torso on a 5-degree night in Orchard Park, so I can’t count on him to cover Kelce.

Can he cover Tyreek Hill?
