For the all players should wear visors folks, they are great for indoor teams, but they fog up in the cold, and are an absolute pain when it rains or snows.
I would like to disagree with you on this because there are options that you can use for spraying on the visor to prevent the fogging, but I just can't. The fact is, those sprays suck, and they don't work. I have tried them for those chilly mornings when riding my motorcycle, and i still need to leave my visor unlocked and lifted a 1/4 to 1/2 inch to prevent it from fogging up and collecting moisture. It really is a pain.

I think all visors need to be “approved” by the league ahead of the game but I’m not totally sure on this. Or if there is an exemption for injury.Not all visors, but anything that is tinted. At least according to the rules.
"only 100% clear visors are legal for use in games unless a player has a doctor's note and league approval for a tinted or colored visor due to a medical reason. Referees have the final say, and players must ensure their visor is completely clear and free of any "swag" like logos or lettering. The strict requirement for clear visors allows medical personnel to check players' eyes for injuries without removing their helmet, which is critical in the event of a suspected spinal injury."But in 2019 the league signed a deal with Oakley, so players now have the option to wear Oakley Prizm Clear shields, a lightly tinted visor meant to enhance visual acuity and spatial awareness in players. details found here.

ooooh, that sauce has my attention 🧐
I started making it last year during the playoffs. It has just the right amount of kick, and the perfect sweetness from the bourbon. It just needs to be made the day before to give it time to settle and thicken up. Once it does, Mmmmm mmmmmm. So smooth and delicious.

Yes, but it was always overblown because his TD to TO numbers were still staggering. Regardless, it is yet another area of his game he has worked fervently to improve, and it shows in historic fashion.
Not to mention that his numbers were not that far off from Brady, P Manning, Favre, and a few others in the same amount completed years in the league. Assuming the stats that ChatGPT pulled are correct, I think it is safe to assume the narritive that Josh was a "turnover machine" (especially in his early career) are grossly exagerated.

I used to go to 3-4 games a year, sometimes add in one additional one from a vendor that some years would invite me to a game as well. The last few years, it has been only 1 game a year. Like @BuffaloBillyG and @The Jokeman, between the weather and traffic, especially the weather... meh. I've reached the age where I am just plain sick of the cold and winter. I get a great view from my Wingback chair, with my feet up and a nice cold drink and some fresh chicken wings with homemade Buffalo Trace bourbon Buffalo sauce.

If they don’t turn it around, they are really screwed with the Tua and Hill contracts unless they pull a Denver and just eat a massive contract. Assuming they would try to trade Hill and eat some of the costs. I don’t see anyone trading for Tua though.
Regardless just beat Miami!
100% agree! Especialy about Tua! He is so prone to concussions, I'm not sure anyone would want to touch him. With his contract, they would probably have to cut him unless he decided to retire. Which I highly doubt he would do. He refused to 2 years ago when it was suggested to him for his own health and safety.

Some of the crap that comes out of his mouth, I sometime wonder if he trades places with Tue sometimes and is the one that actually gets concussed. LOL! He seems braindead to me much of the time i hear him talk.

I think Josh lays down 30 in the first half giving us a 30 - 0 lead and Mitchy Trubinski plays most if not all of the second half. Fins get some garbage time points in the fourth. Final score
Bills - 37
Fins - 10

I mean it's hard to account for a guy throwing a haymaker in his face on a tackle attempt 😂
I honestly thought he did it on purpose. The way he swung his arm in and knifed his hand to make sure his hand got through the face mask for maximum damage.

Some of the comments on the board are pure comedy gold. Had me rolling! 🤣

Most ==> JOSH ALLEN
None ==> SEAN McCOLLAPSY
Considering one of his biggest knocks from his detractors was his poor clock management, and the fact that he mastered clock management in this game, I'm not sure how you can say coach should get none.

I came for the comments. They didn't disappoint. I'm dying over here guys and gals.
35 minutes ago, Florida Bills Fanatic said:Living in Florida around a bunch of very obnoxious Dolphins fans, a crushing victory like this shuts them up. They've been talking trash since the draft. I don't have to say a word because they now know that their hype isn't real. I'll be surprised if more teams don't incorporate McD's strategy to shut down the Miami offense. The blueprint is readily available on game video. They're in for a long season.
The blueprint is there, but they still need the players with the speed and skill set to execute that blueprint.

Once you hit the Pro level, collegiate stat's are pointless. They don't amass to anything. You might be able to infer trends based off of habits or whatever, but the Pro level is a completely different animal. It is far more competitive, with harder hits, and RB's get banged around far more in the NFL than they do in college. Because of that, estimating "milage" based off the number of carries alone is utterly pointless. If you are going to base it on milage, you need to factor in how hard those miles were. How many hard hits did he take, how many holes that he popped through where he got banged around a lot. All that said, as @Malazan said, you don't keep RB's on their second contract, and I agree. The only time that statement isn't true is when they are the elite of the elite. They have to be the best of all RB's and it can't even be a close comparison.
Your post also makes a huge assumption seeing as you didn't mention it at all. Injuries. This team is notorious for sustaining significant injuries, and RB's take a ton of hits. Their is just no way to "guess" which player would be the player to keep at this point in their careers. There are just to many factors that come into play between now and then.

The truth is any backup player generating press for non-football related reasons is a distraction. And I hate to say this, but it appears fame has gotten to Damar's head a little bit. Trading him to Pitt is a better PR move than just cutting him outright, but he probably shouldn't be on the roster this year regardless.
By all means. please explain further how fame has "gotten to his head". I mean, all he does is go around the country performing charity work with his and other foundations. Like others have mentioned, he is not a "key" or "top" performer, so it's not like he doesn't have the free time to do the work. Not to mention, it's great publicity to the orginization. If anything, I would argue that he would probably be kept on the team as a depth guy, just for that reason alone (especially if someone significanly better doesn't become available), while he works on honing his skills and try to move up the depth chart. It's not like he is completely without skills on the field. He was solid in 2022 as a backup Yes, he needs to improve, but he is not the worst player we have had at the position.
18 hours ago, Warcodered said:People just really have a hard on for getting rid of Hamlin, just obsessed with the idea he's only here because of what happened, the idea he's safety depth is apparently absurd.
I agree with this. There really is no down side to keeping him. Based on history with our strength and conditioning, we have issues with players going down for extended periods, especially on the defensive side of the ball, so we need the depth in the defensive backfield. He knows the defense, he's popular with most fans, and he is a PR goldmine. at least for the time being he is, and I think that as long as the team see's imporvements or at least no decline in his skills, the smart play is keeping him. Cutting him could be a PR nightmare, and with all the BS the team had delt with with Diggs, they may not want to rock the boat. And I know that teams shouldn't concider PR when cutting players, but in this instanse, they might.
11 hours ago, NastyNateSoldiers said:Just cut him and let him sign there. Why would Pitt give us anything for Hamlin? He's a bkup
Riiight, because backup players that don't get a ton of playing time don't ever get traded because other teams see something in a player that another team doesn't. That NEVER happens! 😂😂🙄
Btw, Damar is currently a depth player, not a backup. Currently he only plays if there are injuries to multiple players. While specifically to Damar, you are correct, he would not be a trade target, "backup" players in general are traded routinely.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're making one heck of an assumption, beleiving I and/or many of us others would even survive all 4 quarters with 250+ pound defensive linemen or 230lbs safety barrelling down on us. Even in my prime age to which i was actually in pretty darn good shape, i seriously doubt I'd last much past the first quarter, if that.
One of the options should have been 0-1. If i were in my prime, I think I could complete at least 1 pass to a running back in the flats off a fake handoff. If I had to be the age and shape I am in now (which is round btw), it's a fat zero for me. LOL!!

While I don't agree with how concervative Sean is. I think Dan can be waaaay to recless with his decision making; with his all or nothing every game, all the time mentality. He wasted a lot of clock time last night. He could have saved 50 seconds or more and not wasted his first timeout had he kicked the field goal first and tried the onsides kick. He would have had all three timeouts still if the onsides kick failed.

Well, we know a few things about Kansas City Swifties:
1. They like the smell of their own farts
2. They are 1-3 vs the Bills in the last 4 meetings
3. They enjoy running in circles and doing trick plays
As evidenced by the last time we met, these guys thought it would be funny to try and recreate the music city forward lateral the day after the guy who did it passed away. Thanks to Toney being the dork that he is, their “Greatest Play That Didn’t Count” was just that: worthless.
Now they’re coming into hostile territory and they’ll need any advantage they can get. Be it Taylor Swift, one of the Mahomes sideshows, or a trick play, anything is an option. So, how do you prepare for that and do we try to bring a trick play of our own into the mix?
I think the answer to your question is that the defense can't quit on any play until they hear the whistle. Everyone has to stick to their man or zone, and they need to get Pat out of rythem.

The NFL has no interest in "fixing" what fans call horrible officiating. The NFL has put in place a set of rules that allow the refs the best opportunity to maximize dollars generated for the league. On top of that, the not chaning of the rules gurentees that they stay "relevent" in the media which furthers the maximization of money coming into the NFL. My personal opinion is that they only way they would be forced to change (maybe), is for the IRS to take away their non for profit status and make them start paying taxes on the league earns.

First of all I'm 100% convinced the Diggs blow-up last year v Cincy was all about Dorsey's incompetence and to a degree Josh supporting him. It was exactly what we thought it was. Now yes Stef can be a mild deva, but I believe he's also smart enough to see the value of targeting other guys if top D's scheme out his impact. Joe was brilliant yesterday using Cook, Kincaid and Shakir while Diggs was bracketed. Even Davis on his deep routes opened up shallow slots. Eventually Diggs will not have doubles and he'll get to eat too.
I can totally see this being correct. I'm not even sure calling him a mild deva is accurate but even if he is I could care less. He is passionate about winning and I LOVE that. The 90's Bills were called the "Bickering Bills" because they were all called deva's, but they were passionate about winning and they went to 4 Super Bowls. They lost them of course but some of that was because they partied to much and came up unprepared. I don't see that happeing to this team if they are fortunate enough to get there to.

Josh looked like he was having fun. That alone is a huge improvement. This team is better when Josh is relaxed
Josh's sideline demener was my biggest notable in yesterday's game. In previous weeks while on the sideline he just sat on the bench with his head down looking dejected and miserable. That was definitely not the case yesterday. My take on that is that Dorsey was hog tieing him something fierce trying to force him to be strictly a pocket passer and it restricted is emotional state during the games. Where as (imo) Brady probably said stick to the game plan but improvise and use your legs when you feel the time is right or the opportunity presents itself.
5 hours ago, BBFL said:I’m not complaining in any way shape or form, it’s just a concern.
My concern is that they get don’t get Diggs more involved going forward. Dude had 4 targets in the first 2 drives; 3 drops 😬 and then 2 more in garbage time… As the game wore on from the 1st quarter, dude seriously looked disinterested and checked out. Always lifting his hands in the air like “wtf” with some calls.
I’m not talking about forcing him the ball so many times like they have been in the past, just get him involved as it might be a potential problem going forward if it’s continued as he’s an emotional player (nothing wrong with that).
Have the Diggs rumors in the past been blown out of proportion? Most likely but there has to be even a speck of truth to these things…
Dude is our best assets aside from a competent run game in Josh’s success. Don’t care about “keeping him happy” would just like to keep him squarely involved and not where he feels he’s an afterthought.
The Diggs story has been blown way out of proportion in my opinon, but who knows. Defenses have been scheming to take Diggs out of the game. Most defenses can't do that effectively because Diggs is that good. The Jets defense is good enough to do that and Brady knew that. My guess is that he let them do that and schemed the offense around that, adding wrinkles to plays to put other players in better positions to make plays instead of Diggs. It was effective, and future defenses will need to take that into account in the coming weeks. Hopefully it will free up Diggs for some bigger plays. Time will tell.
For sure next week will be a huge test to this team. But, if they can pull out a win heading into the bye week, i think the rest of the season is wide open for the taking.

Even if for some reason the team imploded through the remainder of this year, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIRE MCDERMOTT, so just get that out of your head. In his tenure, we have only missed the playoffs once. The offence has struggled yes, but that issue at least temporarily has been fixed by fireing Dorsey. Brady is getting his shot to see what he can do. If he stumbles, they will find a new OC with experience running an offence. Then add on the fact that the defense has been stricen with injuries to major contributors causing a significant dropoff in the defense in points allowed, rushing yards allowed, interceptions forced fumbles ETC.... regardless of what happens the rest of this year, he will get a pass to see how things pan out next year after some regrouping and getting back to full health.

Josh Allen and the Stiff Arm

Josh isn't the type of player to let a broken or dilocated finger slow him down. I wouldn't even be shocked if he started slinging it left handed. (sarcasm)
