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.
Lots of rich and famous and one A Hole

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.

Wasn't the deadline for games to get flexed awhile ago?
12 days before game. NFL must announce change by this Tuesday.

I can't, really. It seems to fall within the "two steps" rule. Rudolph clearly sees Garrett coming and dumps the ball off quickly. But Garrett has a full head of steam and is only two steps away when Rudolph throws, maybe takes one more step and as you say, has his head to the side to come in with a textbook wrap and roll.
Garrett could probably have pulled up in some manner, and similar "roughing" plays have been called (with clap back and controversy), but it's just not any sort of egregious late hit. Didn't drive his helmet into him, didn't drive him into the ground, didn't land with his weight on him.
In my opinion, anyway.
But again, that's all moot. QB get hit late, players get chippy, helmets come off, that's all part of football.
The part that isn't part of football and that can't become part of football is clocking another player in the un-helmeted head with a weapon (helmet).
You are exactly right. Everything is moot except Garrett swinging the helmet.
The point of this thread is Kitchens. I would like someone to name a head coach past or present (besides Rex who we all know is a complete a-hole) who would wear the shirt Kitchens wore no matter who was at fault. Kitchens is a F***ing moron. No other way to put it.
Cleveland and Buffalo fans have gone through many of the same trials and tribulations over the past several decades. I really believe we can understand them and they can understand us. They thought this was their year. Kitchens has strained their loyalty with this being the cherry on top. They are realizing they may have 'Rex Jr". Not a good feeling as we know. I am so glad we have McDermott. Sean is class plain and simple.

Ravenswood in Clifton Park is also a Bills Backer bar. They do a great job.

Been to a lot of away games including multiple at NYJ. If you behave yourself the chances of there being an issue are very small.
If youre really concerned pony up for nicer seats. The more expensive the seat the less likely you are to have an issue. But I would not be worried myself.
Exactly. The better the seat, the less trouble. I have been to the last 4 or 5 Bills at Jets games. Many night affairs. We have always sat around the 30 yard line and basically no issues. No matter where you go, you will get a wise guy once in a while.
Before the game in the parking lot, it has always been cordial wherever I have seen an away game - Jets included. After the game, leave and don't look to mingle.
To put it in perspective - Would you recommend someone go to a Bills home game wearing the other team colors and sit in the end zone?

Exactly.
This thread is basically patting Beane on the back for cutting a bunch of players who made a lot of money.
Lots of skill required for that. ?
Making the decision to cut the players who should be cut and make a lot of money, does take a fair amount of skill. I haven't seen many go on to be stars elsewhere.

Excellent news. WXXA is getting on the bandwagon early.
-
If White is available, the Bills draft him. Edmunds goes outside. Edmunds showed very good ability rushing the passer last year. This is a no brainer.
On another note - how many moronic low class replies does one have to read regarding going to 3-4 defense. OK, not a good idea. But then, Half the big time posters have to prove how smart they are with halfa$$ cynical responses. Classless.

The TV stations have a lot of advertising $ invested in these games. They study the market better than we fans do & would not be putting up games that they thought could be ratings duds. Their hierarchy is clearly a top 3 of Giants-Jets-Bills in that order. For the most part, the Patriots are an afterthought.
I agree with you except this week the Bills game was bumped in Syracuse, Utica etc. Doesn't make much sense to bump the game there. Especially when the game is put on in Albany. I have been told the decision is made out of town.
One other thing - If we polled the bar owners in the Albany market, they would want the Bills to bumped as often as possible. Bar owners in Central NY most likely had a banner Sunday afternoon.

FWIW - I know people in both Saratoga and Rensselaer counties. They claim lots of Pats fans in both places. You're pretty much right next to New England. It would make sense.
I live in Saratoga county. There are more fans dressed in Bills clothes than Jets or Patriots. There are more cars with Bills plates or other Bills stuff on them than the others. You see very few Jets clothing or auto "stuff".
No doubt the Giants are #1.

The advantage we have with Fox televising the game over other NY State cities is that the owners of Albany's Fox station also televise the Bills preseason games. I'm guessing the Bills preseason games aren't on the Fox station in Syracuse. Even though the Jets have a bigger fan base than the Bills, only the Giants & Bills had their preseason games on TV in Albany. Even with all their winning seasons and being a lot closer than Buffalo, NE is still a distant 4th in the market here, but they did con a radio station into carrying their games while the Bills haven't been on Albany radio in years. At one time the Bills were carried on Albany's strongest radio station that you can get pretty far along the east coast. As soon as we start winning again, Bills games will return to Albany radio. The ranking of fans in Albany is: 1) NYG 2) NYJ 3)Bills 4) NE 5)Whichever team is in vogue to jump on their bandwagon. The reason the Bills rank 3rd is even though we're influenced by NYC, because there is a combination of students & state employees who came here from WNY (and some of the students stayed) we'll always stay ahead of NE in the fanbase because there aren't a lot of New Englanders in Albany compared with WNY refugees.
I am not saying you are wrong, but where do you get the ranking information?

It would be interesting if the people responding to this topic actually read the article and watched the video. Too many "The writer probably looked at the completion percentage without watching the whole game and thought he was throwing inaccurately and making poor decisions." or I didn't read the article but.....
The writer actually had high praise for Josh - ability to handle pressure, running ability including breaking tackles, arm strength.
For areas to work on here is what he wrote " But he’s not a perfect player, and I cover that in the video, too. My biggest concern with Allen are his slow eyes and accuracy. I have no idea if either will get better. While some say both can be improved significantly with reps and tweaking of fundamentals, there are others who say it’s easier said than done."

You probably watch several NFL games every weekend. Does it make you a better NFL QB?
Watching didn't help EJ, or Cardale Jones, or Peterman for that matter.
Players learn by playing. Edmunds plays the most demanding position on defense. Nobody made him sit and learn.
Tell that to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahones.

It sure is easy to get rid of a solid core of receivers in one year though wont it? Say what you want about Woods, Goodwin, Watkins and others, they were all better than what we have
That is a fact.

Can't make it. Have out of town relatives in for the track.

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.
