I did a little analysis of Thursday Night Football results, and was mildly surprised. The home team has a record of 44 and 36 on TNF since it began in 2006. This does not include season openers, as they're not on "short rest". A 55% win ratio is actually lower than the overall average for home teams which according to this study is just over 57% (at least for 2002-2011). Historically, players have also claimed playing on 3 days rest has led to more injuries but on January 29, 2015 the NFL released its health and safety report, which states that an average of 4.8 injuries were sustained during Thursday games compared to 6.9 injuries per game on Sundays and Mondays.

I have seen several posts inferring that there is a team request to the NFL to NOT schedule primetime games in Buffalo. I asked the guy who runs the Fan Advisory Board to add a discussion of this topic to the agenda for tomorrow night's FAB meeting and here was his response: When I said the inference is based on the fatality after the last one, his response was We were told last year that the cabling at RWS before the update made broadcasting primetime games difficult (with the number of HD cameras etc), but that was improved last year.

I hope to have some more info on this after the Fan Advisory Board meeting this Thursday evening.

How many days, R Rich?

Of course they put the game I wanted on a weekend I can't go. We already have Thanksgiving travel plans so the KC game is out for me So now I'm thinking Tennessee on 10/11 (the weekend before my birthday). What are your roadie thoughts?

I just did the first 2...

Jenny Vrentas' comments on the whole scene at the Big Tree:

Final BUMP - getting shaved this weekend and really looking forward to it! There's still time to donate for anyone who hasn't yet...

"tied" with Cinci, above Houston, San Diego http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000485792/article/roster-reset-recap-patriots-colts-atop-afc

During the preseason, at least publically, Marrone admitted they coached him to be more careful - to take the ball OB or to dive - in order to not hurt himself last year.

My first was a Jamie Mueller #39 jersey...

Bump - this meeting is a week from tomorrow, and the Bills are asking for topics we'd like to discuss. So if you have any question or comment about gameday experience type stuff, let me know and I can get it added to the list of things to be talked about. I've requested an update on improvements to Wi-Fi access within the stadium.

Marrone's gift to Buffalo.

So freaking awesome.

As long as it's not in December, I'm thinking Arrowhead this year.

This is my preferred scenario becauseA) I like EJ 2) I want the QB carousel to stop spinning

Cool to finally hear from him. I would be interested to hear just how much control he has over the offense, meaning how much input will Rex have on that side of the ball. I heard a Rex presser last week where he actually said "We on the defensive side of the ball" where I got the impression it really will be Roman's show.

Peter King teases the article in the Ten Things I Think I Think section of today's MMQB:

Stones It's Only Rock n Roll

The reporter from SI was still in Buffalo yesterday, on the field as Rex threw out the first pitch at the Bisons game. No wonder the story hasn't shown up yet. Thurman posted on FB that it would be the cover story.
