It wasn’t just that he pissed and moaned— it’s that he pissed and moaned while shaking Josh’s hand, essentially calling the win BS. Josh Allen would never be ungracious like that.

I read that on one of these forums, but I didn't see that reflected on Vegas Insider. Even so, at + or - 1.5, you'd think there'd be some pundits picking the Bills. I've seen only one out of many.

All the betting odds I see favor the Bills by 1 to 1.5 points. Yet, it's awfully hard to find a pundit that's picking the Bills. Weird...

So, they're going to start the season with a 'twelve men on the field' penalty?

I can think of numerous positions that people hold, without a shred of logic, that are not commonly considered irrational. Unfortunately.

That's called "optimism" in Bills country...

I'm with you on Palmer, although I wasn't very optimistic about him when he showed up-- I thought it was going to be more of an MVS situation where he wasn't going to live up to the hype, and I thought I was right by the end of the season. I also thought he would be in a battle for #5WR with Hardman, Sherfield, et. al that he would lose. But we saw what happened in TC, and preseason, and the narrative of his '25 season being hampered by injury. Now, he's looking like he could be an MVS, but with reliable hands, and 3+ receptions per game, who has to be accounted for on the boundary.

I suspect that James Cook will not be worked quite so hard this season, and Ty Johnson will once again be in on third down like he was in 2024. He made some incredible plays that season, and I think we're going to see a Ty Johnson resurgence.

Nance/Romo have always been my fave combo. I don't have very high expectations for JJ Watt... (no pun intended...)

Two things which are certainly not mutually exclusive...

I certainly don't think the Pats* would be censured in any way. But the NFLCC might take steps to ban such behavior. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the third down train whistle cannot be used once the play is under way. I assume there is some restriction there, and if there is, then restricting an intentionally distracting image would be in line with that. EDIT: Just looked it up-- NFL rules state that piped-in music, sound effects, and crowd-prompting audio must stop by the time the play clock reaches 20 seconds, or when the opposing team's offense reaches the line of scrimmage, whichever comes first. It would be common sense to include the Pats* video screen malarky in that rule.

I could imagine the NFL Competition Committee having something to say about this. Certainly, they'll discuss it.

Is Vrabel going to end up earning himself an asterisk?

Joe, and Josh will never earn the asterisks Tom*, and Bill* did.

Wide right, man! C'mon!
