It is tricky as all bars may not have Peacock. The Mill on Rt 9 in Round Lake has advertised they will have the game.

He was Joe Burrows OC at LSU, also had a year as Panthers OC so the pipeline continues
He's a smart dude tho, should be interesting how he does
The question is - does Josh respect Joe Brady and will he learn/ listen?
I believe the Bills need a high powered, proven OC who can manage Josh. This job opening if there is one at the end of the year, will be a coveted one. Many high end OCs will believe they can fix Josh and/or put him in a position to excel. The "new" head coach will have options.

Yeah. The coaching staff may well have some insurmountable limitations, but poor player execution is the demonstrable cause of many of our offensive woes, and most of those errors don't appear to be due to design complexity or anything unusual or novel at the NFL level.
Like okay, replace the coaches-- is that going to solve our ability to read the defense, catch the ball, hang onto the ball, or finish tackles?
Agreed but I think it goes deeper. There is a rather simplistic saying related to elementary school teachers - "If the students aren't learning, the teacher isn't teaching".
It seems the players are not learning what the coaches are trying to teach.

My wife has been 39 years old for 26 years. What's your point?

If there was a players only meeting this morning, wouldn't it be confirmed by now? Sounds like a false alarm.

Four days until I fly in. Getting pumped. This is the first time in Europe for my wife and me.
Tourist stuff Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We got a 3 day all-inclusive pass to see many of the sites.
NFL experience Saturday afternoon and then get to one of the designated pubs for dinner and festivities.
Game on Sunday.
Paris Monday afternoon until Wednesday.
Looking forward to meeting many of you. Thank you to the British guys for all the tips. I have picked up a lot of information from this thread.

Prices are definitely up from what they were before the pandemic but I had no problem getting either my flights or hotel reserved.
We also booked our flights and hotel room a couple weeks ago. Yesterday we "panicked" and bought tickets. Did not want to get to London without tickets. Got section 318 (50 yd line) Premium tickets which include food and beverages. Depending on exchange rate it will be about $670 each.
We used American Express concierge to get tickets at what is supposed to be actual face value.
We figured it is a one time adventure. Based on feedback from this thread we are spending 5 days in London and 3 days in Paris.

Although I have been to London hundreds of time and stayed there often, I live on the south coast (Sussex) which is around 90mins away by train. I'm sure there will be others reading this thread living closer who will be better placed to advise on accomodation in London, but there are so many options - it really depends on your budget and how you want to get around. You can save a lot of money by being prepared to travel in and out of the tourist areas each day, though.
Public transport in London is excellent and relatively cheap if you tap in and out with a bank card (there is a daily price cap), so even if you take a cheaper accommodation option away from the centre you shouldn't be more than a short tube ride away from the sights. The Tottenham stadium is north of central London, but I wouldn't recommend staying in that area as it's not a very nice part of town. It's easily reached from central London though, there are a few closer stations but these get very busy and most people choose to walk the 30mins from Seven Sisters on matchdays. I'll obviously be checking this thread regularly, hopefully I'll get a ticket for the game (that won't be easy) so if you don't get any better answers than mine I'll do my best to help.
Thank you. I have already put my name on the ticket list from the stadium. which I think uses Ticketmaster. They are supposed to email with details

If you’ve never been, I highly recommend staying an extra couple of days and taking the bullet train to Paris and back. It’s CHEAP, and the two hour ride is incredibly relaxing. The Eurostar leaves from London about every hour. If you’re traveling with a significant other you are going to score points that’ll last you a lifetime once she steps foot onto the streets of Paris.
Sounds like a real good idea. I am retired so time is not an issue.

When we go to London our train arrives at King Cross (joined onto St Pancras) and we tend to stay in hotels not far from there.
Gunner is probably better placed to advise on places to stay with him being from down there but the transport in London is so extensive and easy you really can't go wrong in terms of location.
Thank you and also SoCal Deek.

To be fair, Palace are quite forgettable (although I would say that, as a Brighton fan 😁). If the Bills trip to London coincides with a home game for Brighton then I'll be only too happy to advise on ticketing/travel. Depending on where you start from in London, you can get to The Amex in around an hour and a quarter by train. Brighton is a good option if you fancy seeing somewhere a bit 'different', and match tickets aren't completely unobtainable in the same way as the top London clubs.
Roadrunner - I apologize for butting in. I plan to go to the game. Can you advise what part of London to stay if I would like to see the tourist sites as well as the game? Our plan is to be in London for about a week. probably the weekend focused on the Bills (Bills backer bars or whatever on Saturday and game on Sunday) and 4 or 5 days for tourist stuff.
Thank you in advance.

There's questions there based on his performance last year.
The Bills finished second in the ESPN total offense stats. The Bills could have finished first, so I guess there should be questions.
2022 NFL Team Total Offense Stats | ESPN www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team
Obviously. I do not know how to post the link.

I believe they usually announce the overseas (London in the Bills case) game dates earlier. I would guess those who want tickets will need to be paying attention.

lastly Confused:
Jets — You just got Rogers and you know it’s a 2 year window and yet you still don’t draft a WR for the guy? Instead you get another D lineman.. makes little sense.. Rogers is older he needs playmakers around him. (Imagine if Seattle had gotten Rogers instead.)
let me know who your thoughts are
What if the Jets trade for DHop?

Beane is worried about how he’ll be able to fit 3 special teams aces on the roster next year if they trade for Hopkins.
You missed your calling. Quite the comedian.

I doubt Dorsey is holding back. BUT is it possible with all that has gone on over the past couple months progress has stagnated? Implementing new plays, formations etc have been limited? The Bills have been a bit sloppy lately, My opinion is we will see a more effective, efficient team this week and it will continue to get better each week in the playoffs. If God willing, no distractions.

You tell me. Do you think they should throw them at the opposition's bench while the coaches are trying to do their job and coach a game?
No. You said you were not against throwing snowballs. We can agree, they should not throw snowballs at the players. Hard for anyone with half a brain to rationalize that. But, I and many others also do not want to get hit by snowballs while trying to watch a football game. I think they should not be throwing snowballs at all. The police should have thrown people out. I realize they cannot catch them all but throw a few out, the BS would stop.
So again, the question is, Where do you think they should throw the snowballs since you seem to think it is ok to throw snowballs if not at the opposing team bench?

I am not against throwing (not iceballs of course) snowballs, whatsoever. just no need to throw them at the oppositions bench. I'm sure your kids and even parents have done it every winter, I know I did and it was fun. if someone had thrown one in your parents or even kids face, yeah, not cool.
Where do you suggest they throw the snowballs?

Why is it on CBS? Aren't NFC home games usually on FOX?
What's the explanation?
The games are on the away team network in most cases. NFC - Fox and AFC - CBS.

Brentwood has some really beautiful and wealthy areas. Lots of rich (a good thing) and famous (not for me, thanks) people live there. The only downside is I think old Rex Ryan lives there.

Just find a sports bar that has the NFL ticket. Does it matter if it’s a Bills bar? LOLThere is definitely a huge difference.

Same. I wanted to take my daughter to the Steelers game, but prices are insane. I may just take her to the Jets game in Jersey. It’s half the drive and half the priceI am going the Jersey game. $96 per ticket third level. I live in Saratoga which makes this a day trip. Save on ticket, hotel and meals. Be better in Buffalo but the numbers don't work. Jets fans are for the most part tolerable.
I am going to the Miami game this week - solo. Got premium seats ($400) where I can go inside as it would be tough to sit in the sun for 4 hours. I expect the Miami fans to be rowdy as they finally have something to look forward to.
Going to the Steelers game in Highmark but it is business. No cost for the seats.

And just like the flu, the death rates starts high and settles down after the its spread outside of the nursing homes where it raises hell. Look af facts, not just the immediate paranoia. Literally every disease death % curve looks similar, high in the begining, as it spreads to millions ( flu every year), the percentage goes way down because it won't kill the healthy. There are even knowledgeable people believing chilren are virtually immune to Covid, meaning its LESS vicious than the flu. Take a small smalle size of anything and the rate can fluxuate vastly from reality. Example, take the Bills winning percentage of the last decade vs the winning percentage for 2 games a year vs the Patriots.. yeah the team already died in that scenario.
Tell that to the people in Italy.

If it were up to me I'd ban all the Allen haters. Not because they deserve to be banned, but because I'm sick of reading garbage. Same with the McDermott haters. I don't want to have to sift through mindless garbage.
Here we have a regime that broke the drought, rebuilt the team, wins games, goes to the playoffs two times out of three, double digit wins for the first time this century, built a top 3 defense, and people still talk bad about them. We've got a QB who just wins games, comes up clutch when it matters, is an athletic freak, and pushes the ball down the field and we have fans who still bash him.
Just do us all a favor and go root for the Patriots.
Perfectly stated. 100% agree.
