Cool! Let's meet for a beer or something at some point. My wife's family lived there for awhile b/f moving to Wyo

I live in Cincy too (Wyoming)!

Bengals and Ravens for sure (and Indy, of course).

Think you'd have to add the 13 seconds game and the Rams game this season as well in terms of games that continued to launch the Bills onto the national radar.

Bills 34, Nashvegas Titans 20

I'm in my 50's too and like the 7:15 kickoff (especially because I'm on a 6:10 am flight the next morning from CVG to DCA - ouch!! but want to watch the game with the fam).

Except perhaps for not being aggressive enough on the INT, I thought Crowder looked very good - The guy is very fast!

Hate to admit it, but here in Cincy we're going with Papa John's, sort of out of tradition/for good luck (and also so that my 12 yr old will actually eat!!).

Bills 27 Rams 24 (gonna be very close but I like the Bills by 3 in this one)

This is an excellent post - Their physical talent couldn't be more different yet you hit the nail on the head re their similarities in a way I hadn't fully appreciated. They are both very unassuming/self effacing and that's part of why it's such a good fit for Buff.

Agreed, I didn't even realize the opening post was from a non-Bills fan. All good and some excellent responses.

Josh Allen, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and David Byrne (he's done a little acting) - Would be interesting for sure!

Generally agree but I'd put Bengals in 3rd or 4th contender position (or better) - They are a fairly well rounded, if not a spectacular, team. It is easy to look over them but I think they're the real deal. There are many very good teams in the AFC, which kind of sucks!

Go Bills!!!! Kick their asses!! Skiing at Big Sky then pre gaming. We’ve got this boys!!

Really the only basis to try to claim Mahomes is better is that he has a ring, and two SB outings. Purely skillset-wise and statistically, they are nearly even with an edge to Allen IMHO.

31-24 Bills

ROAD TRIP!! Driving from Cincinnati (technically, Wyoming, OH) to Pittsburgh in the morning (last minute trip to see my mom). Watching the game with son and possibly daughter at my sister's house while they are away - Will be strange watching the game at someone else's house - Luckily they have a big screen, although smaller than the crazy, projector-based TV we inherited at our place in Cincy.

Living in Cincy (mostly) and being from Buffalo and a diehard Bills fan, that would be amazing! Go Bills!

Earlier this year, I might agree with you. But in the last 2-3 games, I'd argue that our offense has been clicking and able to score a lot of points (through the air but also on the ground). We have the sort of team that can handle a run-first, eat clock sort of team. If we get ahead, Colts are not really built to catch up quickly. But the reverse isn't true: We are built to score a lot of points in a hurry. Sure, there are factors like weather, injuries, Covid, etc., but as things are right now, I think we'd handle the Colts in close one.

On O: Singletary, Davis and Diggs with J Allen honorable mention (and Haack for another flawless game - must be extremely rare to have two punt-less games in a row!).

By midnight on Monday, we'll have a much clearer picture and it will be easier to say if X (and Y) happens, we'll play Z at home, etc. A bit too complicated with two weeks left to figure it out.

Maybe these two things have been mentioned before, but I'm surprised Matt Stafford is so high on the list and Fitz-magic, 9 teams (that's practically 1/3 of the entire league)!!

Totally agree - Even against very good defenses, our offense has been able to get rolling. That's why I felt good about the Pats* rematch.

Assuming no major COVID news/swings and decent weather, I like the Bills in this contest. The second half of the Tampa game, and most of the Carolina game, showed that our offense can get rolling against a top-tier defense. Why do we think the Pats are any different? So a key to my thinking is that the Bills at some point will start rolling and scoring TDs. And we have the sort of defense to hold them in check. They don't have the sort of offense to score a lot of points quickly. Given the above, I'm thinking something like 30-17 or 30-21 Bills.

Saw an article that said punter a possibility or backup QB that kicked in high school!
