Sounds like the two of you need to pony up and buy some bigger TVs.
Quitcherbitchin...it's not how Bills Mafia rolls.
Although the size definitely matters... its more the distraction of having completely different programs going side by side. Have the producers at ESPN never heard if a VCR (or that new fangled DVR thing)? I think people use them to record a show thats on opposite one they’re currently watching, so they can watch it later. So that don’t have to try and watch both at the same time.

I do not wish to see the game interrupted via live look ins. If I wanted to watch the other game, I have this remote thingy that works just fine. ESPN is constantly trying to revolutionize crap that we the fans do not want!
Agreed... and I definitely don’t want a split screen showing 2 games at once. I think I’m gonna end up cussin at ESPN Monday night.

someone on another thread brought up a good point… we should be pulling for the Chiefs tonight because we control our own destiny against them re: the tiebreaker.
I think I understand the thought process... but in week 2 its a hit early to start saying we control our own destiny. At this point every team controls their own destiny if they win out.

Early Titans thoughts on this one.
1. Dontrell Hilliard, RB2, led the team in TDs. Both his TDs were short throws, 7 yards and another that went for 23 yards. So watching him out of the backfield will be important.
2. Robert Woods only had one reception. I expect Tannehill to pay more attention to his wide receivers in this one.
3. Jeffrey Simmons is a beast. He had 2 sacks, one a strip sack where he cleanly beat three Giants.
4. Kyle Phillips, WR a 5th round pick led them with 6 catches for 66 yards.
5. Not sure what to make of the Giants gouging them on the ground. Barkley had a 9.1 yard average on 18 carries.
6. Treylon Burks had a nice 11 YAC average on is three catches. So I expect a lot of crossing routes for him.
Not that its good to do this, but he did have 1 run that he busted loose for 68yds. Take that run out and his average is 5.6yds/carry. Still really good, but not quite as gaudy. Either way it’s hard to say with one game if its due to a bad Titans run defense, or a really good Giants run game.
I would add the Bills need to be ready for Tannenhill keeping drives alive with scrambles. He’s not the best rusher, but he’s proven to be quite effective if the defense clears the underneath zones and gives him a free 7-10yds to run out of bounds.

For those of you mocking this, you know if the Bills went old school with this type of logo, you'd be praising it! For example-
No... I would seriously question the team’s cognitive capacity to grasp the century they’re living in. Maybe for a throwback game... theses logos and old uniforms would be cool. But the Browns is what they’re going with full time? Surely not.

How is it even possible that Geno Smith is still in then league, let alone a day 1 starter?

All these years later... and we still get “winning like this isn’t sustainable ..we’re doomed” threads. Awesome!

All summer long I’ve been rewatching the games from the last couple years. Ya know, just to get my Bills fix. And I just keep thinking to myself... can this team really start out as hot as they ended last season? Is it reasonable to expect 4+ touchdown drives in a row?
There were a number of times when they just seemed unstoppable. It’s not natural is it? Im trying not to get my hopes too high for Thursday night. Its the first game. They’ll need some time to gel and put it all together. The Rams are Super Bowl champs, so obviously they’re a great team. But, then I say, the Bills are returning almost the same team as last season. If anything, they’ve only improved a few spots. So why can’t they be unnaturally good? Why can’t they go 19-0? Why can’t we finally see the best team to ever play in the NFL right here in Buffalo!? We can do this!!!
My keys to the game on Offense: Dorsey. Can he maintain the offensive production we’ve seen? On the flip side, you have Donald ready to wreak havoc. Whats the game plan for that?On Defense: Rookie DBs. Can they hold down the fort till Tre comes back? On the flip side, you have Kupp. How will they fair against one of the best WRs in the game?

Don't see it. That doesn't mean he won't have a productive year though.
This season he has a healthy Moss and Cook to share the backfield with.
Thats why I said no. Only because they like to share the load. But I think he is more than capable. Singletary may be the most under rated player on the team.
I’ve rewatched every game from last year.. some multiple times in my craving for the Bills season to start. It’s amazing how effective he is at making the first guy miss, and always driving forward for extra yards once he is hit. He doesn’t have breakaway speed. But he has good vision and reliably gets every yard out of a play.
-
I know 3 QBs and all... but I like Barkley and wish he was just a bit more capable to be the true #2 for years to come.
And hope most of those guys can make the practice squad. As we all expected, they had to cut some pretty good depth players today!
I hate this day as a fan... can’t really imagine the feelings and emotions these guys must have today. They’ve all worked their butts off to get here.

We don't need to hear about Bills character and culture anymore from Sean and Brandon after this. Hopefully they learned and know Buffalo don't want no one on our team with those types of allegations. This will linger for awhile but we can get back to focusing on a football...and may the young girl get justice.
Hot takes like this are whats wrong with the hot pocket on steroids generation. The Bills officially learned about this all a month ago. The guy was cut once the full details of the night came out. Done. Over. That’s called doing your due diligence, making a difficult decision and moving forward. And compared to soooo many other teams and situations, Beane moved extremely quickly and purposefully.

I believe it's been stated that a suspension or placement on the exempt list isn't possible because the incident happened before he was an NFL player.
I think Araiza has more to worry about if he intentionally misled or outright lied to the Bills in the weeks leading up to Thursday, because that's going to get him cut regardless of anything else to do with the case.
Ok. If you can’t suspend him, that complicates my “simple” solution. Maybe pay him under the table to fake an injury so he can go on the PUP list or something. Lol. I don’t know. I just wanna talk football and not this.
But i would remove him from the locker room so football becomes the emphasis of the team.

I think it goes without saying that a team can find a serviceable punter far easier than a franchise QB.
Most of the people who are taking the "wait and see" stance right now are doing so because a man's life and reputation are at stake, not because we're concerned with punting the ball in 2022.
Which is why my thought would be a suspension. He can concentrate on his personal life, while the team concentrates on a game. When it is all resolved and him and the players around him are able to focus entirely on football; then you make a determination about his future with the Bills. ...and presumably at that point, they would know the more complete details of the situation and could more clearly sypport their decision.

Honestly the most disturbing part of this thread for me is the notion that "he's just a punter" -- and of course, the implication thereof that if he were of a position more important to winning games, we could afford to weather the media storm until the truth came out or potentially even after.
Just goes to show most people's moral high ground is directly proportional to how useful someone is to their needs. Funny how that works.
My point with saying.. he’s just a punter, is only to imply that its immensely easier to replace him. If this all happens with your franchise QB, honestly I’d make the dame statement. But you then recognize that that decisions completely tanks your season and perhaps many more seasons. So, yes, it would be a far more impactful decision.

I think that eats a roster spot. That’s a no no.
Perhaps it does. But if you think there’s any chance he’s innocent, i think you accept that to show “support” for your teammate. Or just cut him. But either way they beed to distance themselves and the team from this situation.

I haven’t read all of this thread, hence don’t pretend to know all discussion points. But, from the Bills’ perspective, and as a fan of this team, it seems fairy simple to me. He’s a rookie punter, that has contributed 1 preseason punt. He in no way represents the franchise or the entire fanbase. The team should give him as much time as needed to deal with this personal issue and suspend him until such time that that it is resolved in a court of law. In the meantime, sign a new punter and move on to the season. Any questions should then be directed to him or his lawyer, and we all get back to talking about football.

On one hand, there are QBs who physically fell off cliffs after repeated/cumulative punishment: happened quickly with Cam Newton, happened a little more slowly with Jim Kelly, and happened eventually with Ben Rapelessburger. Those guys were limping shells of their former selves when they retired. John Elway had just enough athleticism left at the end of his career to steer that Cadillac, but sure seems like he is fairly broken.
Brady's obviously never allowed any physical punishment with his elite decision-making, release, and sometimes cringe-worthy sense of self-preservation. He's just a walking, breathing business decision. And look at him flourish, that vapid victory machine.
These are many of the examples that keep rambling in my head as I read the replies here. We have all laughed at Brady’s rush to fetal position; he’s taken self preservation to new heights. But he’s 45 and still playing like he’s 35.
Other than Favre, which QBs that regularly played with reckless abandon for their body played well into their 40s? So the question then becomes how long do we want to see Josh play? I prefer to watch him leading us into the playoffs for the next 20 years. Hence, he needs to take advantage of the league’s rules that protect a QB. And the OC needs to design an offense that doesn’t put him in harm’s way multiple times each game.

Imagine being Groot.. getting one on one training/tips from Von Miller and now the greatest sack artist of all time. He’s got the physical tools, if he can absorb and implement what he’s being taught; he could become a true difference maker for years to come.

I won't speak for Deion, but I follow the NHL Hall of Fame fairly closely and a diluted inductee fields have been a problem for over a decade now.
The problem is that the Hall of Fames feel pressure every year to induct the maximum number of eligible players. Some years this works, but most years there are 1 or 2 players that are borderline worthy that get in. In the NHL, the recent notorious ones are Glen Anderson, Joe Niewendyk, and Dick Duff. It's only a matter of time before players like Alex Mogilny make it.
The best move is to do what the MLB does and become very strict. The downside is that some years you get 0 inductees. But that makes the Hall of Fame that much more valuable.

A lot of people online giving crap about it being a touchback. The guy kicked it from inside his own 10 yard line! Are you expecting a punter to pin the other team deep when you are punting from inside your own 10? If you are punting in that situation then your team screwed up so if you can force a touchback and no return then that is a huge win!
That’s how I see it.. if your drive stalls at your own 18... and your opponents next drive starts at their 20. ...on a touchback! Thats a good thing.. I’d take that in every instance all season long. Normally in that scenario, you expect the your drive to start closer to the 40yd line... maybe the 35 if its a really good punt.
