Why didn't those home crowds lead to better results at home? It's an overblown "advantage."

Buffalo was a better road team than home team last year.

Umm, yeah, that's not going to happen. For a gazillion reasons. As to the original post -- I think homefield advantage is more of a benefit to poor teams with great fans than it is to teams who are already good/established (or teams with milquetoast fans). I don't think the Bills would be negatively impacted by the absence of fans at The Cap.

We're all essentially rooting for the laundry, man...that's why we care so much.

The numbers are bad and what's up with the upper left front patch, but the helmet is pretty cool and overall they're not "awful."

Well, you're a Jets fan. The Bills have been a winning team over the past three seasons with two playoff appearances and enter year 4 of the current regime with the best roster, top to bottom, in the AFC East. It's really not debatable. Only the Pats*** have an edge in coaching. We'll see how it all plays out.

@JetsFan20 crazy things happen but you're forgetting the Bills are no longer a "question mark" -- they are in their 4th year under McD and Beane. They're probably in the top 5-6 teams league-wide in terms of stability. Barring major injuries no reason to believe they won't start at least 3-1 with that schedule. I see 3-3 as the "worst case scenario" through 6 but more likely we're talking 4-2 or perhaps 5-1. Not being overzealous here...just looking at what the predictions will be and knowing the teams' rosters.

Is this true? I don't believe everyone has gotten that promotion.

And if a GM's "low point" is bringing in a once-productive WR he was familiar with to help the team in a playoff run, so be it.

Seriously. All I’m waiting for is “hear me out...”

Great contribution to a thread about the Edmunds family!

Why throw the “almost” in there? Be a man of conviction.

Please don’t ignore past Bills legends like Kwame Cavil and Kamil Loud.

Fixed

Take your trolling crap elsewhere. You’re not even a Bills fan, correct?

All you need to do is listen to McDermott. When asked what he looks for in a receiver he immediately says “one who catches the ball.” Beane and McD aren’t blind. Allen and the Bills’ passing offense are going to shut a lot of people up this season.

Funny, I watched this replay just a week ago to put myself in a good mood.

Mortgaging the future? Come on, man, it’s not like they traded next year’s 1st rounder to draft Sammy Watkins. It’s a shame the answers aren’t as easy as you proclaim.

If the intent here was to be funny, you failed. If the intent was to disparage Fauci, you failed even more spectacularly. Bottom line: you failed.

Surprised is the wrong word. Favorites lose games all the time. But it would be unexpected.

The Bills will be rightfully favored in at least 5 of the 6 games...and perhaps all 6 by the time the late MNF game at the Pats*** rolls around. Nothing is "easy" but even for someone who likes to play the role of pessimist do you really disagree with that?

No doubt one of the loudest crowds I've experienced at the stadium. It was bedlam.

Even with a legitimate personnel man (Douglas) now on board, the Jets will be held back by a HC who is not a leader. For all of the talk about how Josh Allen needs to "step up" it's not as if Darnold has shown signs of being able to carry a team on his back. Top to bottom the Jets roster is not on par with the Bills, and their coaching is a couple of tiers lower. The Bills are rightfully talked about in the media as the team primed to take the East.

I know he had a storied career and did lots of other stuff, but Frank Costanza was an absolute gem. Serenity now, Jerry. RIP
