  1. to be fair, Burrow should be ahead of Lamar as well.
  2. No. The Dolphins are our rival because of their dominance in the 70s/80s and our dominance in the late 80s/90s. Bills/Pats doesn't reach that level since the teams were never really relevant at the same time (until this season). Don't get me wrong, I still hate them.
  3. Do people still hold a grudge against Allen for his ancient dumb high school tweets? That's the only thing I can think of as to why so many in the media outside of Buffalo seem to have it in for him. Guy is a GREAT player and a very good dude off the field as far as I can tell.
  4. Heard this guy was a player, but he kept getting cut because he would never shut up.
  5. I don't think "being up for the game" (or not) has had my impact on what we are seeing on the field from week to week. Outside of Jax, we've blown the doors off all of the teams where we presumably wouldn't be "up" to play them (i.e., "trap games"). We don't look "up for" the games where the other team had the personnel to bully us along the LOS. Those are personnel and execution issues, not motivation issues.
  6. I saw that while looking at the standings last night and it got me thinking: has the number 1 point differential team over the entire season ever missed the playoffs?
  7. I must be pretty dumb, because I liked both Devin and Moss heading into this season. I was a huge Moss fan from his college days and thought he'd turn out to be a steal, but that just hasn't happened. NFL appears to be a step too quick for him. I'm good with featuring Devin going forward, since he's the only RB we have on the roster that can make something out of nothing. Still need a legitimate feature back this offseason through the draft, FA or trade. Devin would serve as a great change of pace to a legit No. 1.
  8. How much bigger is Gabe? He just seems like a much bigger and physical target than Manny. Decent YAC too. Like a poor man's (smaller) Mike Evans. Edit: Obviously still like Manny in the mix as one of our top-4, just not at the expense of snaps for Gabe.
  9. I really do not understand the NFL. Bills will probably destroy New England next weekend and then lose to the Jets.
  10. I feel much better than Arizona Cardinals fans. That's for sure.
  11. Yeah, given our injuries, the D was good today. Not sure what people expect. Also, after what we've endured the majority of the past 8 weeks, any win is a good win at this point. Next week is everything. It's right there for us. Let's see what we're made of.
  12. Not gonna lie. I would have punted there.
  13. Love watching Taylor. He a beast.
  14. I ain't gonna go that far, but there's a reason his coach only let him throw three friggin passes in 60 minutes.
  15. First game I've enjoyed watching since Thanksgiving!
  16. Well, this sucks. I'm sort of expecting more positives to roll in before kickoff on Sunday with the daily testing. This is everywhere now. It's not a Bills problem.
  17. This could be great for the careers of Nathan Peterman, EJ Manuel and JP Losman (can he still throw a football?)
  18. I hate Kelce, but damn, look at what a truly elite tight end can do
  19. How does Reid defend that? Makes zero sense. I'm dumbfounded.
  20. Wow. That looked really scary the way he left the field. Say a prayer for that cat. Also, before we personally bash and trash these guys for their performance, consider just what they are putting on the line every time they step on the field.
  21. You're absolutely right. Upon zooming in, it's Dawkins who gets burned on that play and his rusher's knee clips Boettger's left leg causing him to bail out and collapse. It's wild how quickly all of this occurs in real time.
  22. I love how Boettger loses his man and just decides to tackle Dion Dawkins instead.
  23. Us older folks have pretty strong opinions on the trial itself, since the entire thing was televised (meaning you could watch every single second in the courtroom and not just the reiterations of talking heads). Beyond the shoeprints and gloves, there was a bunch of DNA evidence that tied OJ directly to the murder scene. After sitting through the trial, the only way anyone could ever find OJ "innocent" was if they believed that he was framed for the murder by the racist detective Mark Furman. The irony of which is that the LAPD loved OJ - seeing as how he was a Los Angeles hero from his time at SC, "backed the badge" and frequently invited them to hang and play tennis at his mansion.
  24. Not guilty ≠ innocent. If someone doesn't understand that basic tenant of the American criminal justice system, then I'm okay calling them ignorant. According to who? According to the civil trial jury that found him responsible for the deaths of Ron and Nicole. The jury in the criminal trial found him "not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt". They didn't find him innocent. This has nothing to do with my own thoughts, feelings or beliefs on the OJ matter. I'm just reiterating the facts, brother. I agree I shouldn't have the final say in whether a person spends their life behind bars. That's why we are entitled to a trial before a jury of our peers - not a single guy behind a keyboard.
  25. Thought so in the moment, but upon reflection I think it was the right call. We were out of timeouts, so if we were tackled short of the sticks (via sack or whatever) we would have risked not getting a field goal off. I guess you could have called a different type of passing play/route, but it had to be quick developing to avoid a sack. I'll take Diggs one-on-one against a middling corner 9 times out of 10 in that situation. And if the refs had done their job we would have won the game.
