I just want to say I hate Vrabel’s smirking face
I liked him when he was the Titans' HC. But now that he's with the Pats*, especially having been a Pats* player, I'm right there with ya.
Sometimes, I think that my disdain for that organization is unhealthy. But, then again, we all need to exorcise our dark side from time to time, and there are certainly worse things to focus my ire on than the Patriots*.

Different QBs get treated differently, and that’s not really a bad thing. I remember back in the Micheal Vick days, when he was a Falcon, and one of the biggest running threats in the league, the refs would wait waaaayyyy longer to blow a play dead than they would for say, Payton Manning. It’s not that they were trying to protect Manning more, but they wanted to give Vick a chance to do what he did so well— break tackles, and take off.
I think it’s similar for Josh Allen. He invites getting hit, so it’s not a surprise that the refs let it happen.

When Moore went down, the biggest fear wasn’t that we would miss his production. It was that the field would become easier to cover. The adjustment Brady had to make was to send other receivers downfield, and keep the entire field viable. Coleman had to be a reliable threat anywhere they sent him (which he was), continue to make blocks (which he did), understand the game, and make plays.
I was especially impressed on a third down catch he made, late in the game, where he had to go the ground to make the ball. Realizing he was just shy of the sticks, and hadn’t been touched, he quickly flopped over the line for the first down. That was a heads-up play, and showed concentration, and situational awareness.

Heads up Keon to get over the line.

Gibbs is one tough M-Fer. I think he had 30 touches four days ago, and tonight he's half their offense. That dude's gotta be wearing down.

This is definitely touching off my BBFS. Hope we keep the streak alive!
Yeah... I would rather have not known that stat...

Uh oh
Bucky Brooks was drafted by the Bills, and let go after one season. And he has never forgiven them.

I couldn't believe the way Mahomes pissed and moaned about a legit called penalty. I lost a ton of respect for him after that
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.

Thought I heard the odds changed to Houston -1.5??? Where did I hear this? Can't remember where but know I did
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...

Alford as punt returner is out of nowhere, right? If he can cleanly handle the catch I'm fine with it.
So, they're going to start the season with a 'twelve men on the field' penalty?

Huh. You'd only describe something as irrational in British English if it is a position held without any logic.
I can think of numerous positions that people hold, without a shred of logic, that are not commonly considered irrational.
Unfortunately.

I am irrationally into Skyler Bell. So much so that Im hoping they don’t go after Cooks.
I hope Palmer can last 4 or 5 games and by the time he goes down with injury S Bell has established himself as the man.That's called "optimism" in Bills country...

I have high hopes for Palmer. I was optimistic when we signed him. IF he's healthy he compliments Moore really well.
Honorable mention is Kilgore. I think he's going to be a menace.
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...)

Is he still full TuAnon? I figured he would be on the Falcon's bandwagon and trolling Saints fans by now.
If he still playing the part of a Bills fan hes either the world's most high effort and least impact troll or he's seriously mentally ill.
Two things which are certainly not mutually exclusive...

What do they say? You can’t show the uprights on the board?
coach your kicker on it and keep moving.
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.

If your entire season is undone by a kicker, you really weren't that good a team in the first place.
Wide right, man! C'mon!

Have to imagine Bowry to IR to make room for a returner. Otherwise I expect them to roll with Grable/Anderson as swing/emergency tackles.
Didn't they announce that Anderson will be the starting LG? I imagine Corbett will be coming in as the sixth lineman in Jumbo packages.
