You're gonna have to 'splain how you get Nantz-Romo going to Tampa as a sign they'll be in Buffalo in a week.
The thinking is they wouldn't be in Buffalo 2 weeks in a row. Could be wrong, hopefully not!

lol at Panthers-Bucs pulling Nantz/Romo.
I could be misguided but I was hopeful when I saw this that they know they'll be in Buffalo next week for the playoffs. Really don't want the Bills playing on Monday night.

Carolina might be an option for Daboll, if he can persuade Trubisky to go with him, as might be the Jags, as I mentioned before (without Trubisky). With Trubisky, the Broncos might also be a slot he could drop into.
I've seen this thought expressed a bunch of times - but why would Daboll want to tether himself to Trubisky for his first HC shot?

It was a bad comment, but ONE bad comment yet you all are up in arms for it. While Ariens says things that would make most teams disgusted and won the SB last year.
It's not a good comparison because Bruce is consistent. He'll call out Tom Brady just as surely as the 6th WR.

Any "conspiracy" would likely favor us this season. Yes - Pats/Bucs would be the best SB matchup from a ratings standpoint. But the TV contracts don't expire until 2033 so that is mostly moot. The Bills are, however, negotiating with NYS for a new stadium. Having the Bills go on a run could result in more interest from non-diehard Giants fans in Upstate NY and make the state ponying up lots of cash more palatable.

Fins Up! Given how close the AFC teams are, strength of schedule might come into play so I hope they win out. Especially since they play the Titans and Pats in their last two games.

Don't too often see this, Fox is not allowing an early game to be shown on CBS in Chicago. Or is it really the Bears forcing the blackout, not Fox??
NO GAME due to blackout enforced by home team on FOX
Apparently yes, but he clarifies in the replies that the local affiliate (in this case owned by FOX) might be involved in the negotiations:

He still can be, thankfully on the Giants message boards during their drought!

All good by me. But more proof that the Bills have lost their luster as a serious playoff contender. If the Bills were still perceived as the "Hot" and "Glamorous" team they were 3 weeks ago, this game is given national prominence. Instead it's seen as just another Sunday game. The Bills will need to win both Thanksgiving, AND the Patriots game to get back to national prominence. They can only blame themselves, with their weak and soft play the last month.
I think this is more about Carolina. SF, Philly & Min all look more likely to be competitive for the 6-7 NFC slots at this point.

Experiment with taking Daboll out of the booth and on the sideline. He and Allen have a good relationship, it would be good for the team to have Daboll talk with him face to face when he gets frustrated or overly emotional. He'd need this skill as a HC anyways, so why not start now?

Gotta keep those two mediocre teams in prime time?
Fair, but both teams are right in the thick of the playoff hunt. Pitt has a huge fanbase and Herbert is a budding star the league would like to showcase. We have the NBC team 4 days later too, so they likely would have flexed another game if they had to.

Really enjoy their broadcast, but they should be more flexible with their guests - as in keeping the good ones on longer and giving the hook to bad ones quicker. Drew Brees was awful on Monday as he was loath to give even the tiniest bit of criticism to the Saints.

Our league does team defense and 2 IDPs, highly recommend it.

Wow at the FOX schedule. This must be one of the worst slate of games ever for this early in the season. At least we got the "best" option.

The Chiefs have had their fair share of schedule luck through the years, while the Bills essentially had to compete for one of two Wild Card spots every year for nearly two decades due to NE's dominance. So I'm not complaining. But...we've reached the point where schedule matters just as much as team ability.
Buffalo's schedule looked historically easy when it came out. That was when the Texans were presumed to have Watson at QB and when the Dolphins seemed competent. Now the Texans are a dumpster fire while the Dolphins are lost at sea.
It is absurd that the Bills and Chiefs are competing for playoff positioning with schedules this drastically different. I thought the Chiefs were the best team in the AFC in preseason (I no longer think that, I think the Bills are the best), and yet, I never at any point gave the Chiefs a real chance of winning the #1 seed. The Bills' schedule, matched with their talent, was going to be impossible to topple. As an NFL fan, not just a Chiefs fan, I think that sucks.
While 2-3 is an underachieve for the Chiefs, few teams who open with Browns, at Ravens, Chargers, at Eagles, Bills were going to start 4-1 or 5-0. As bad as the Chiefs have been this year, I am near certain they would have entered the Buffalo game at 4-0 had schedules been reversed. I think it's time for the NFL to re-think the four-team division structure. In fact, I'd scrap divisions entirely. Each AFC team should play each other once per year round robin style — alternating home and away each year — and then play three games per year vs NFC teams (18-game schedule, one fewer NFLx game, add in an extra bye week.) Isn't that better? Are Colts fans really clamoring to play two games every year vs the Jaguars? Would the Bills' playoff drought have ever reached what it was had they not been dealt two auto losses every year vs the Pats dynasty? Is it fun for a fanbase to travel to the same city four straight years as the Bills did when they played at KC in '08, '09, '10, '11? Everything about the NFL's approach to scheduling is stupid and inequitable and always has been.
No idea what compelled me to go on a scheduling rant, sorry about that!
The NFL scheduling system is mostly fine IMO but the AFCE has been a complete outlier for almost 20 years. The only close 2 division races since the 2003 season were the 2009 or 10 Jets vs Pats then the Brady injury year. 2019 was somewhat close - but not really - the Pats finished 2 games ahead and beat us both times. No other division has been as anti-competitive for that long.

He's simply copy and pasting Skip Bayless' LeBron James playbook for Allen. It's just not as entertaining the key ingredient to Skip's shtick is having an entertaining foil (Stephen A or Sharpe) responding back at him.

Not that I'm complaining because it's the best FOX game - but why does Buffalo get the 4pm game? I thought the rule was markets always got the 1pm game on the non-double header network unless the home team was playing on the opposing network.

This was mentioned online but basically guy receiving the checks (Gruden) vs. guy writing the checks (Snyder). I do not disagree that the NFL should try to make Snyder sell, BUT the league is an old boys club in parts also which shows with stuff like this. What I do not get with the league and Snyder is a better owner would just make more money for the league and team. It is in the NFL's and the 31 other owners best interest for Snyder to leave.
I agree with you. But while many owners might want Snyder to go, they don't want a precedent in forcing an owner to sell.

If this was "voluntarily" deleted, he's a must play in fantasy next week. I expect him to be fed tons of carrots if he takes his sticks well.

So he talks like Elvis when they're winning, does he go full-on Sinatra when they're losing?

This is the right answer. All the Antonio Brown attention must be killing Aaron.
