UB plays Thursday, too, right? If Jackson starts that will be kind of cool, to flip back and forth, if you're a UB fan (which I am).

The Bills will win, and it won't be close. The Jets are improving, but are a year behind the Bills. Despite having a better QB prospect (maybe), the team has too many holes, still. We will win by 6 or more, because the Jets don't have the weapons on Offense, and their Defense is a bottom third group overall (I do like the D-line). I'm a fan, but a realist, too. And the Bills should win the first two games this year. Frankly, because of the stretch at the end of the year (@Cowboys, Ravens, @Steelers, @Patriots), I feel we have to win these first two, or it will be one of those years again.

"Oh, the earth ended in a nuclear apocalypse? I didn't know that. I don't follow the earth."

It's the NFL, so it would be difficult for most teams to win twice against even a middle of the road team. The good news about this mental exercise is at least I can honestly say we shouldn't be doormats for anyone.

This guy, the writer, not the poster, HAS TO BE TROLLING. There's no way anyone could write that and think it is true. I mean you have to really try to write something that bass ackwards. It is like he was writing comedy he is so opposite to reality. At best you may be able to say preseason doesn't matter and Kyler could be great and Allen not so much despite the way they looked in preseason, not because of it. The writer has to be trolling.

It is good to see Jim doing well and hopefully getting better and better. I think he is genuinely psyched about the team this year. I know I am!

Not only will we have a good team, but we will split with the Pats! I am so psyched for this season to start.

Agreed.

The good I'm seeing is more than just flashes like the past. I see depth. I see see direction. Im confident that even if JA falters, this team is finally made up of adults who at 6 and 10 or 10 and 6 will compete and look like a quality club. That helps sell me not just on the season, but on the next 5 years or so. I feel really good right now, and I'm an expert on reading too much into preseason, but this is different. From top to bottom this is the best Buffalo roster since 1999. Print it.

This guy is turning into a really cool story. https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/09/us/nfl-rookie-sheehy-guiseppi-touchdown-trnd/index.htm I guess some people are putting Wade and Sheehy in the same category. A couple of cool stories for it being just preseason. https://torontosun.com/sports/football/nfl/the-stories-behind-two-of-the-unlikeliest-nfl-touchdown-scorers

I'm in VA, too. The first 45 minutes were blacked out on my DVR recording, but my son and I kept fast forwarding and rewinding, then it started playing. I may have gotten lucky because of a glitch.

Super frustrated by Directv, too. Had the game set to record on 212-1, and when I went to watch it late last night, the first 45 minutes were blackout out, but then the rest of the game recorded, so I missed almost all of the first quarter. I don't know why they would blackout a portion of the game? I'm in VA. Very strange, but, to be honest, it is just one more nail in the coffin for them. They are terrible.

Totally encouraged by the game last night. I can't recall being this positive following a preseason game. And this is with Allen look plus-minus.

If buying the house meant getting him off the Pats, I think we could raise ths money. If we could get 50k fans on board I think it would be 700 bucks a person. Money well spent.

I was impressed by this story. This is the kind of heart I hope our guys have.

You all were a great help. For what it's worth I found the Bill's Colts game in the guide in Direct TV, clicked on it, hit info, and it appears I will be recording it live on Thursday. It's odd because it is the only thing listed in the line for channel 212-1 even though it isnt on for a week. I hope this thread helps other out to state Bill's fan like me, and I hope NFL network airs the other games too.

I dont think I'm understanding. Do you need to have direct TV AND gamepass to watch the Bill's Colts preseason game live on 212? I live out of state.

I don't understand your take. If this is a joke about religion, well done. Throw in some politics to make your post even less offensive.

I think he says nothing new, but it is interesting that it is coming from a Pats fan.

Preseason football is terrible, and this first game, the 5th for these teams, is the worst preseason game of the year which makes it the worst of the worst, and, yet, like a moth to the fire, I wouldn't miss it. Football is almost finally back. You know you're a football addict when you set your DVR to record the HOF game! I think I need counseling.

In my desperate effort to survive the offseason, I came across some highlights I hadn't seen in a while. Good game with some foreshadowing of what might happen later that year. One thing that surprised me was hearing the Giants fans cheer when Kelly went down injured at 8:18. It sounds like the entire stadium was cheering. Even 30 years later Giant Fan you lose points with me. It makes my skin crawl. Anyways, this was still a good game to watch agaim from a golden age of Bill's football

Thanks!

This has felt like the longest offseason in history.

This is my first year living away from home. I have the Sunday Ticket from DirecTV, but I can't figure out if preseason games are included. Is there anyone else out there in my predicament that can give me some guidance? It would be much appreciated.

Awesome. Now I know the Chargers won't be winning the Superbowl. One team down, 30 more to go.
