As an old school fan I’m partial to that combination. For years, that was the standard home uniform. The occasional all blues or reds is ok, but I like the established tradition. I missed not seeing the standing Buffalo throwback helmet logo last year, and don’t believe they’re using it this year.

That's kind of what I couldn't understand. There were times it looked like he should have been in 5th gear chasing down a ball carrier, but instead he'd look like he was out for a morning jog. I think he expected someone else to make the tackle, but he'd be there for the assist.

Yeah, I saw that previously and my thought was, 'same old Tremaine'. He gets pushed around like a 90 lb weaking. Good guy. Just overhyped and overpaid LB. Glad it's on the Bears books and not Buffalo's.

You were skimming through topics and thought it said ‘Golden Shower’, admit it.

Short attention span? Comprehension issues? Really hoping you were trying to be funny.

Adoree Jackson is indeed coming our way - a week from next Sunday - as a member of the Giants’ secondary.

I'm wondering if the 4 game timeout will be a motivating factor for Elam to improve any areas the staff has identified as weaknesses in his game. 'If you think your 1st round status is a free pass to a gameday jersey, think again Kaiir.' Could be that's been at least partially the reason for the 'inactive' designation these past weeks. Of course, it's just as likely he's simply been outplayed by the other CBs.

I vaguely remember riding in the car with my dad and driving by it when it was little more than a hole in the ground, or possibly the beginnings of construction. I’ve always been fascinated by large building projects and watching early stages progress into a finished edifice that will stand and service people for decades. Can anyone here tell me if there’s a static ‘stadium cam’ to follow the progress of Highmark Jr. ?

After a big win it used to be enjoyable basking in the afterglow of the victory by listening to the post game commentary and callers. But, I can’t handle much of those 2 guys who now do that show. I can’t tell you exactly what it is about them that rubs me the wrong way. I guess to my ears they sound like the know-it-all jerks at the end of the bar who never shut up and act like their opinions are gospel. About 5 minutes is all I can handle. Side note: anyone who goes by a moniker like ‘The Bulldog’ I immediately assume is an A Hole.

This game against the Jets was the first regular season game played in the stadium. It was Sept 30 1973. 50 years ago this weekend. I was at the 4th game there- the Bills first Monday night game. In club seats directly a few rows in front of the booth where Cosell, Gifford, and Meredith were doing the game. Game 7, OJ went over 1000 yards, a milestone usually reserved for playing the entire 14 game schedule. Going to miss the troughs.

Just heard some of the radio broadcast highlights. Not hearing the entire broadcast I can’t really judge, but for the big plays that he announces, the cliches and metaphors sound very scripted and contrived, like he’s reading off a Rolodex of 3 x 5 index cards with clever sayings. Not spontaneous.

They managed 7 wins without Tre last year with a couple of rookie CBs. Not concerned, but they probably will need another CB.

Oliver, Rousseau, and Epenesa have really come on this year. Bills have done a good job of developing motivated plays with raw talent.

With prunes to keep me regular!

No, you should have gone with your first thought. Cheerios or alternatively oatmeal. Now GTF off my lawn! 😜

Perfect for the generation of emotionally stifled male adults who still live in their parents basement and play video games until 3am. Yes, I’m that grumpy old boomer who came from a time when we gave up watching cartoons at about the same age that we figured out Santa wasn’t real.

For a long time I've theorized this phenomenon may be a contributing factor for things like the infamous 'Sports Illustrated Cover Curse'. There are always going to be ebbs and flows. Naturally, when an athlete or team has a remarkably outstanding performance, they get cover stories, but they're also statistically bound for a lull. There are valleys between mountains. Sports books make a living off of gamblers playing 'follow the leader' with an unexpected fail by a highly touted competitor. I like the Bills chances this weekend.

This was exactly the reason I didn't sign up for the NFL Sunday Ticket for the first time in 25 years. There will only be a small handful of games not shown locally (in Atlanta), and for the few that aren't shown, there's streaming, Bills Backers bar, or watching once the live game commences, immediately after it's rebroadcast with NFL+ subscription. Last week did I some other things at 1pm, avoided hearing the scores, and started watching the Bills/Commodes game at 4:10 with NFL+ app. First time doing that. Was pleased that it zipped right along skipping prolonged commercial breaks. The only real down side was missing the ongoing action at 1pm and then relaxing with another game at 4:30. But, I don't normally dedicate an entire day to watching anyway.

I don't disagree that there's an element of excitement for violence. Watching auto racing we love big pile up or a good fight in a hockey game. But, unless you're a sociopath, you hope the participants don't suffer a debilitating injury. With the level of protection Nascar drivers have, there's probably less chance of injury in a major crash than a WR who gets blindsided by a human projectile.

I'm guessing from your handle and your post your in the same vintage boomer age group as me. We can't start watching a movie after 8:30pm without falling asleep on the sofa halfway through it. Afternoon naps are a fairly regular part of the day, especially when Bills play at night.

If rules that eliminates some of these violent shots saves one player from life in a wheelchair or on a ventilator, the league has made the right decision. It hasn't made the game any less entertaining, just safer for these young guys who are already exposing themselves to potential injury every down.

I've wondered how in the world he was drafted at 19 years old. I looked him up on Wikipedia. He must have started at VT at barely 17 years old. Must have been a smart HS student, graduating just after turning 17. Did he skip a grade somewhere during his school years? The other surprising tidbit I read on that site, his given full name is Fe'Zahn Tremaine Edmund. Obviously, the Bills were sold on his smarts, physique, and junior year. Not a bad gamble at the time.

It's constant excuses and denial. Some just can't bring themselves to admit they're wrong. I don't think Edmunds is a fit for NFL-level defenses. He has the right physique and athleticism for Tight End. Should have attempted a conversion. BUT...he got a payday as a LB. Hard to argue with that.

No doubt they use actuarial data to forecast revenue from single event sign-ups who never cancel. I'm sure they know approximately how many will just continue indefinitely and what the numbers are for those that pay for an extra month or two before they remember to cancel. What happens is this: the subscriber goes past their one month, and instead of cancelling as soon as they realize they're in indefinite debit mode, they think 'well, I've paid for this month, I may as well get my money's worth and just keep it for this period'. The month flies by and of course they forget again. And so it goes. On top of that, most of the services don't exactly make it easy to cancel without navigating around their sites to find the 'opt out' source. I've now got Alexa giving me reminders for scheduled subscription cancels.

As far as I know, most of the streaming services don’t require commitments beyond a single month. So, $4.99 is still a good deal. Less than the tip for your sports bar server. Or… we have a friend with monthly Peacock. When she was visiting here a few months back, she signed in on our TV to watch Peacock. We still have access to it. Doesn’t seem they have the same primary residence restrictions that Netflix has in place.
