  1. I haven't lived in Buffalo since the late 80's, so I don't really listen to the local broadcasts all that much... sometimes, on the app, just to put myself to sleep, I would listen to the replays... I honestly think Murph heard a lot of criticism about how dull he was, so a few years ago, he started that screaming thing....I must say, it sounds so forced, and kind of ridiculous. I almost can't believe he still does it...like he was looking for some sort of "signature" and he settled on that? Yuck. Otherwise, as others have said, I think he's pretty bland...not terrible, but not at all exciting either. Btw- I like Van Miller too, but it is funny to see everyone getting nostalgic for him. When I was a kid, I remember him not being particularly liked amongst the Bills fan-base..before it was a nation, or "mafia".
  2. Thanks for the tips on how to watch football. I have seen the play from a few angles. While it was close, Singletary was clear when Allen threw the ball...it was close. But I will argue that Allen rushed the throw, and he was under no pressure to do so. Of course, I can't see where his eyes are, but he appears to be looking nowhere but the endzone. He wasn't looking for any other options. If it wasn't a bad decision, it was a terrible throw.
  3. Okay...i'll take 3rd & 5 or 3rd & 4 , over throwing into traffic when it really wasn't necessary. It wasn't 4th down
  4. Should have thrown it to wide open Singletary, who would have gotten at least 8-12 yards (on 2nd & 10), if he hadn't been able to take it all the way. Bad decision.
  5. Believe me, I love the NFL as much as anyone...but don't you think the fewer people willing to participate in the sport will erode its' popularity over time? We already claim that the sport is "wussified" compared to the sport most of us grew up with. I already see the lack of interest in the game amongst the younger kids in my own family. I have a large family. We've always been football fanatics. But the younger kids seem to have little interest in it. One of my nephews (he's 12), who I have been plying with Bills gear for about 10 years, broke my heart recently, when he chose to go to a pro soccer game, over a chance to go to a Bills game. He also seems to prefer hockey to football... while I loved all sports growing up, by the time I was 12, football was it! His friends seem all the same. Their only appreciation for football seems linked to their parents.
  6. Correct. While it isn't very popular with most NFL internet message board fans, the NBA is as popular is more popular than ever, with the demographic that would traditionally participate in NFL football.
  7. You are right...football is king. But the stats posted in this thread show, it likely won't be forever. The game may not be any more dangerous now, but it is clear, that fewer people are participating in it.
  8. If a bunch of MAGA #######s leave great!
  9. No. I don't like their wings at all.
  10. Of those that I have had, from this list (8), I have to say, Duff's are the worst.
  11. Every time I see the Raiders play, he impresses me. He is the kind of back, I think, they were envisioning Moss to be. Tough up the middle runner, can catch the ball... the Raiders got smoked today...their season is done... I would give up a third or fourth round pick for him. As you mentioned though, he is a free agent at the end of the season, so it might not even take that much. Turn around and sign him to a new 3 or 4 year deal. It isn't as splashy a move as some of the other rumors would be be, but I honestly think Jacobs would have a real role in this offense...namely the back who can get you 1 or 2 yards when you need it. Right now, Josh Allen is really our only option in those situations... not something you want to have to rely on all the time. Guys like McAfferey and Kamara might be more accopmplished or "better", but the strengths of their games aren't necessarily what the Bills need most.
  12. I would love to see them make a move to get Josh Jacobs.
  13. I knew you were a closeted Patriots fan! j/k I don't love the blue on blue (love white on white, hate red on red) look, but I kind of wonder: last season, much was made about the fact that the team had a losing record when wearing these uniforms. It was silly, and I remember McDermott scoffing it off a few times when it was mentioned. Maybe he wants them to wear blue on blue, just so they can see that none of the ***** that fans/media worry about matters...you just gotta go out there and play your best. It doesn't matter what your uniform looks like... no such thing as jinxes, curses, etc etc
  14. Edmunds had a really good game against the Chiefs.
  15. He's a douche, always has been...but his talent made it easy to overlook. I have a good friend who is a hardcore Packers fan...even when Favre was still there, he always said there was something about Rogers he never liked...he always seemed to have an attitude that football was "beneath me", but he had to suffer the fools around him. To me, he's always been smug. I think the Devante Adams departure probably shocked him, and everyone else in the organization. He is reaping what he sowed.
  16. Mine finally works...I still have no idea why, or what the issue was. NFL+ customer service sent me an email saying the issue was resolved (they sent it about 3 days after I had already figured out it was resolved, on my own) with no explanation of what the problem was.
  17. No, not logged in to another device. I thought of that....I even went to my job, afterhours, to make sure i hadn't stayed logged into NFl+ on my work computer....I don't normally watch there, but I have logged in a time or two, just to watch highlights, on my break. That didn't prove to be the issue either... mystified and annoyed.
  18. So now, having the same issue on the lap-top...shows I have a subscription, but won't let me access it. Their "support" is useless.
  19. So follow up: after finally receiving response from NFL+, after waiting nearly a day, I can report, despite the insistence to the contrary, they fixed nothing, still having the same issue....so fugging frustrating. It kills me, because it has worked fine all season....this coming Sunday, I won't be able to watch the Bills game live, so was hoping to avoid the score all moring, and then tune in later to watch....I have to do this a few times a season...the main reason I subscribe to this package....looks like the NFL has other ideas!
  20. I had the exact same issue, on my laptop...but the smart-tv no such luck. I logged out multiple times, and logged back in, but still kept getting the same results (ie: you need to subscribe/you already have a subscription/we can't find your info). So, I am at work now, and just got an email from them, saying my issue has been resolved, almost a day later. But, since I am at work, I can't verify that. Will find out later today!
  21. It sucks for you, but I am glad to hear it is not just me. It gives me more hope that it will be fixed. This new NFL+ app has too many bugs. During the preseason, I couldn't watch the games live. I would start watching a game, and then get pulled away. When I would go back to continue watching, it would make me start over...if I tried to fast forward to where I left off, it would immediately go to the last few minutes of the game. Other than it not being available once in a while, I never had these issues in the 10+ years I subscribed to Game Pass.
  22. Is anyone else having issues accessing their NFL+ Premium subscription on their smart-tv? I was able to use it all pre-season, and even re-watched the Rams/Bills game...but I have been trying the last 3 days to access the Bills/Titans game, with no luck. Each time i try to load the game, it tells me that I need to subscribe, even though it tells me that my "current plan" is the NFL + Premium package. When I try to "re-store purchase", it tells me "we can't find any purchases", even though it shows I am currently subscribed. I am able to access it on my laptop, after multiple log-in and log-out attempts. I tried contacting their automated assistance bot, and was told (about 18 hours ago) that they would contact me as soon as possible. Anyone else experienced this issue? Super frustrating... I may have to watch this Sunday's game using this app, and am getting nervous about it not working...I hate watching things on my laptop, when I have a 55-ich tv.
  23. Absolutely love Bobby Gentry... born Roberta Streeter....
  24. I understand where you are coming from...even if I don't necessarily feel the same about him current day. He was a massive part of my childhood, so having no use for him is not easy. He was the greatest Bill of all time, with the possible exception of Bruce Smith. Having negative feelings about him isn't something that comes easy. And, to be honest, as strongly as I feel about it, I'm not sure how I would react if I just ran in to him unexpectedly...he's still OJ! I really don't like him being associated with the current team, in any way. I don't believe the Bills have anything to do with it, but he is kind of interjecting himself into their story. I am sure he feels that he is going to find some sympathy amongst Bills fans. And obviously, it works for him I believe he has been at all the home playoff games over the McDermott era, and was at the Rams opener...
  25. Of course not...we live in times, that even when all signs point to the contrary, if somebody can dream something up, it has to be given some sort of validity....
