I wish the starters played a little more in the preseason to really feel confident but at the same time I'm glad they didn't and we are going into the game relatively healthy (no Tre will be tough though). I could definitely see them having a slow start while they figure things out. I'm excited but also nervous. I like the big stage game but I would have liked our chances better starting out with the Jets at home or something and work out way into it. Nervous/excited is the answer, either way i don't think I'll get much sleep tonight. Should be a close game. I think 23-20 but I won't pick a winner Also, either outcome I think there will be a lot of overreactions after the game. This is game 1, everyone chill

Any player for that matter. Leave them alone! No they don't want to scribble on your piece of paper or take a selfie with you. They just want to eat in peace. If you see people messing with them or staring at them, tell them to chill out and be cool. I can't think of anything more embarrassing than a grown man going up to another grown man and asking to take a picture with him. When I was younger I was at Wegmans getting a to-go meal after a long day of work. I just wanted to eat something quick and go to sleep. There was a super tall and skinny guy with a hat on in front of me, maybe a few years older but perhaps in the same situation feeling the same way. Then I noticed people coming up to him and not even saying anything just sticking things in his face to sign or taking a pic. Pretty rude. Then I noticed it was Ryan Miller. In that moment I realized he was just a person, just like me, just trying to grab a quick bite after a long day of work. I couldn't imagine anything worse than having to deal with that nonsense every time you leave your house. They are just trying to live their lives too. They aren't zoo creatures. Leave them alone!

I'm certainly not a fan of everything being "woke" and people being so sensitive these days but I just wanted to share this and people can take from it what they will. My grandparents are Sicilian immigrants and don't appreciate the "Bills Mafia" moniker as it has some derogatory and racial undertones from when they were profiled and outcasts growing up in a much more racially segregated society. I'm usually the first to say that it's just a name and it seems silly but if it negatively impacted people then I try to understand and put myself in their shoes. Quick story - My grandpa served in the army putting up communication lines across the middle east during WW2 and when he came home he couldn't even get a job at the phone company. This was the story for a lot of immigrants and the mafia was perhaps a necessary evil to try and level the playing field and provide opportunities and protection for people coming to this country. I'm surprised in this day and age where the Washington football team and Cleveland baseball teams had to change their names that this kind of name is just recently becoming popular and now being placed on official team merchandise. I don't care personally, I didn't live it, but I'm certain that some people don't appreciate it or care for it so take that for what it's worth I guess. A lot of those folks that lived it have since passed so maybe it's becoming acceptable again but I know there is a lot of negativity with that word so I'm just surprised it's caught on so much. Let the eye roll emojis begin. Thanks for your support! 👍

The Pegulas are going to be at the nicest stadium in the league tomorrow. They will probably be calling the architects saying "oh we definitely also need this, this, and this" afterwards.

QB CONTROVERSY IN NEW JERSEY!!!!

Dorsey has Shula, Boras, Brady, and Kromer - all former OC's. This is also the Josh Allen show in year 5 and he will be letting Dorsey know which play he wants to run or audibling to the play he wants. I don't think it's just Dorsey up in the booth calling whatever play that pops into his head, it's more involved than that and he has a lot of support

His previous house was actually pretty modest at the end of a cul de sac so you could easily stalk him if you were being a creep or if you just went too far in the neighborhood and had to turn around. I think privacy was his #1 concern with this new house. Mission accomplished

Yep $500k just for the land! Which is actually an ok deal for 31 acres. And beyond the backyard is Chestnut Ridge park so it might as well be even more

Par 3 golf hole in his backyard, sweet looking pool house, recently added full grown trees down the drive (behind a huge gate) so the house can't be seen anymore from the street. Nicest house in WNY by far I'd guess. I think the previous record sale was just under $3 mil

Similarly, the "Patriot Way" doesn't look so great when you don't have an all world QB under center. In the NFL, your team starts and ends with having a top QB under center. Everything else is secondary imo. It's nice to have a coach and GM with a plan who have built a winning culture, but if Josh Allen was dog **** they would probably get fired and everyone would be complaining how we have too many "nice guys" and maybe we need to get meaner

The twist will be that neither team wants him after 2 acl injuries and he has to go play with Tua for vet min

That would be the greatest winning percentage in the history of our franchise. A franchise that had 4 back to back super bowl teams, multiple hall of famers, and a league MVP. So it would be a little surprising yes

So they lose the first game and go 14-2 the rest of the way? Jeez that would be quite the season if so

NVP!!!!

Are the Bills a Super Bowl contender if Josh Allen is Sam Darnold? Or worse, Josh Rosen or Mason Rudolph? They hit on a once in a lifetime draft pick when every single analytic said not to draft him. "If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself" https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons

23-20 - not sure who wins

The wind is causing so much confusion that we have a new thread on this week old topic every day now

It's not happening despite what GM Von Miller wants. The only possible way would be if someone else got injured. The Bills have $2 mil cap space so they would be pushing any salary into future years and then who does he replace? You can't just take Kumerow out because he also plays special teams. I don't see it happening

Which goes to show how terrible California is: https://www.heritage.org/taxes/commentary/ozzy-osbourne-checking-out-hotel-california-why-taxes#:~:text=The top marginal federal income,the highest in the nation.

All you have to do to be the greatest coach ever is draft the best QB ever in the 6th round. What's so hard about that? Belicheat is a sub .500 coach without Tom Brady under center

Do they get a pass for the Rex years? The Sabres? We owe them everything but they aren't infallible. If Beane missed on Josh I don't think we would be where we are today

First they said because of the high taxes but their PR team quickly changed it to "too many guns." More politically acceptable reason to flee California apparently (even though that state has the strictest gun laws in the country) and I could probably think of a million other reasons to leave but that's the one they landed on. But glad to see he's sticking around long enough to get another pay day. I'll be utilizing the facilities at halftime

Jason Peters was blocking for Drew Bledsoe and JP Losman once upon a time ago. That's absolutely crazy that he's still playing!
