The best part about Allen’s day was that he was pretty damn good and still has room to improve. Let the haters keep spouting their nonsense. 70%. In the wind. InAcCuRatE.

Current forecast looks like rain will be gone by kickoff, but 15 MPH wind throughout. I like that. It really matches the conditions they had for their scrimmage and Josh was on point in that one.

I’m just curious as to what problem anyone has with the comments “stop hate” or “it takes all of us.” If those messages make you angry, disgusted, or want to turn off your TV you’ve got a lot of soul searching to do, to understand why you feel the way you do.

This. The Bills absolutely struck gold with McD. He is a man who “gets it” through and through. And who doesn’t love Marv? (don’t start talking about the Super Bowl losses...we all know)

Yeah that was a tough call for me. I agree with everything you are saying...I guess the drama of the Comeback won out for me in the end.

For games I’ve attended: Best — The Comeback Runner-Up — ‘90 AFC Championship 3rd place — 3 TDs in a minute vs. Denver (‘90) Worst — Wild Card vs. Jacksonville (1st and only Bills’ playoff loss at home) Runner-Up — Saints in 2017

But can Hughes win a fistfight in a phone booth?

We’re all judgmental. I guess the difference is that regarding some issues there is a clear right and wrong. I have little tolerance for closed-minded people who are seemingly incapable of introspection and self-analysis of why they think the way they do.

So I saw some photos yesterday that the first seven rows at the stadium are “tarped” with various ads and messages...I’ll be very curious to hear how the piped in sound comes across on TV. I also watched an interview with the in-game PA announcer for the Bills...he said he will be doing his in-game announcements just like a regular game, meaning they will be “homer” calls. That should be interesting as well. They will play the Shout song after scores and the train horn on 3rd downs. It’s going to be surreal.

Don’t worry about it. And by the way, intelligence isn’t based upon where you’re from. Learned behavior is, though.

This is an interesting thread, and I’m not so sure looking at averages across the league is the right way to evaluate it. I’d like to see how the top 5 or top 10 defenses in the league fared over the past five years vs. the bottom 10. I’m willing to bet that the top 10 defenses scored more often than the bottom 10, and it is therefore a statistical anomaly that the Bills defense didn’t score last year.

Gee, where should I start? First, “law abiding citizens” don’t trespass on property closed to the public. Is that difficult to understand? Second, “loot a store and score some sneakers?” Really? I don’t think we have to take a large leap to determine where those comments come from, if that’s your first reaction to hearing that trespassers at the football stadium are breaking the law. I’m not going to pretend to know anything about you other than you visit a football message board, but words like those don’t exactly paint a pretty picture of what is in your heart.

Just browsed four or five NYC articles covering the Jests...yeah, they all pretty much expect them to stink.

Agreed. I feel like the ambient noise will be similar to a neutral site game.

LOL that’s probably true.

Wait...WHAT? Good lord, the ignorance is strong with this one...

What in god’s name is a “frosted roll” cereal?

C'mon, man, Levi is just fine, and look who they have to cover anyway.

"You better git ready for a fistfight in a phone booth, YEEEEEE HAAAAAWWWW!" What a jackass. What does that even mean? Greggggg has become a caricature of himself, quickly approaching Rex Ryan status. I really hope the Bills hang 40 on them.

Wait, was Greggggg Williams running his mouth again? I'm shocked.

Norman OUT on Sunday, Vernon Butler QUESTIONABLE. Everyone else a full go.

Well, good morning Mr. Grumpy Pants!!! We act as though something is owed to us. It’s not. Belittling McD for not winning a road playoff game or beating NE*** teams that went to the Super Bowl is a little short-sighted. He has built an incredible culture and they have a talented roster. No, they shouldn’t be compared (offensively) with the Chiefs at this point but they DO have the pieces on offense to be very good. Knox was a raw prospect and admitted it wasn’t until late in the year that things started to slow down for him. We’re all waiting to see what he does next. Josh certainly talked him up this summer. To me, the guy on the hot seat this year for the Bills isn’t McD, it’s Daboll. He has put his offense in place and this is year 3. He finally has the multiple weapons he craves to show different looks and attack different opponents’ weaknesses. Daboll and Josh need to be on the same page. I’m the contrarian here — I’m not worried about Josh at all. He’s going to open a lot of eyes when he starts distributing the ball to all of these guys and has a completion % in the mid-60s. I’m expecting a top-10 offense in yards and points this season, with a ceiling that is even higher. They’re not the Chiefs but they don’t have to be.

Man, it would be sweet to see half of those 12K fans in Bills’ blue and red next week.

I see that “Overreaction Thursday” is alive and well! Let’s just cancel the season and hand the trophy over, everybody!

And right there you've provided a fantastic example of why people who only look at statistics are frequently mistaken as to what is really going on.
