Well, the Broncos pick of Chubb in 2018 may have been a catalyst for the Bills being able to get Josh.

Very disappointed in this move. I have no idea who he is. 😏

I've been a vocal critic of Edmunds before this season. He earned the criticism with poor tackling, getting blocked out of plays, taking bad angles, etc. But, it's obvious he's stepped up his game this year in a big way. I think he heard the whispers and probably got together with his coaches to help see what he could do to improve. He's done a great job this season. Give credit where's it's due.

At the risk of sound like the ‘get off my lawn’ guy, I suspect it’s largely generational. Not to say there aren’t a- holes in every generation, but I really believe we’re seeing the fruition of a generation of over- indulged brats who were raised by parents who wanted to be ‘their pals’ and were afraid to instill discipline. The result is a population of self-centered narcissists who have no regard for anything or anyone that doesn’t benefit them.

That attitude is ignorant and self-centered. Maybe we should allow smoking in all public spaces too. If you non-smokers don’t like it-tough, right? Having obnoxious drunks pissing themselves- yeah, embrace it. the problem is that you can’t discern the line between enthusiastic fans who want to enjoy themselves and support their team, and complete idiots puking and pissing themselves who have absolutely no regard for anyone but themselves.

Since the injury, the Bills record, including thanksgiving and playoffs is 11-4. 2 of those losses were OT games against Brady and Mahomes. it will be great to get him back on the field, but their post-Tre record indicates there’s no need to rush him back.

neck and neck

Making it worse is the idiotic NFL rule that if the Dolphins choose not to use the misting/cooling blowers that can give some relief, the opposing team can't use them either. I honestly believe that these issues will be brought up at one of the owners meetings. This is about more than fairness (which it isn't) - this is about the serious health concerns that can arise from over-heating.

Nevermind that the Bills basically fielding their preseason team, if the Dolphins were on the sunny side in that heat, I give the Bills the edge. I truly believe that the short pass that missed McKenzie in the end zone was just Josh running out of gas and getting sloppy. So, to me the argument that they lost to an inferior team is more about not having a level playing field.

The Lions will have a short week too. That gives us a mini-bye before going to New England. With numerous injuries the Bills beat the defending super bowl champs, Ravens, the Titans-top AFC seen 9 months earlier, and just defeated perennial juggernaut Chiefs. They barely lost to the Dolphins. If Josh wasn’t running on fumes in that heat, he completes the pass to McKenzie and Bills win. Unless Josh goes down, I don’t have any worries regarding remaining opponents. They may have an off day and stumble against the Jets or some other inferior team, but I believe they’re focused and will be top seed.

Don’t think so. Going by her body language and the request (“would you tell him to settle down a little bit?”) it was most likely directed at the people he was with- possibly the person filming. The guy was obnoxious and obviously needed a lot of attention, making sure everyone he saw knew he was Diggs’ uncle. It’s great being an enthusiastic fan, but I suspect he’s one of those guys that’s always loud and just never shuts up.

Agree. It’s ironic how the NFL bends over backwards addressing helmet to helmet, hits to the knees, and generally protecting the players from injury and other health issues, but ignores the seriousness of heat- related health that has the potential to cause permanent organ damage and even death. Sadly, a 300 lb player dying on the field, suffering brain damage or having kidney failure will be what it takes before the NFL does something to make it safer. It’s insane that players on the visiting side can’t use the cooling misting devices if the Dolphins elect not to. That’s just wrong. I’m curious whether someone from the Bills or other teams has begun a dialogue with the NFL to address these concerns.

Thanks for the reminder why I stay home to watch. The poor woman sitting in the row in front of him with the Chiefs gear asking him to settle down- that would be me.

There’s a place in Cartersville called Larry’s. I believe they use those fantastic Costanzo rolls made in Cheektowaga. They even have that signature Italian sausage/capicola Royal sub popular in WNY. Looks every bit like John & Mary’s or other Buffalo area sub shops. It’s about 30 minutes up I-75 for me. Looks like there’s another one south of Atl in Fayetteville. Haven’t tried it yet, but plan on going to Cartersville some afternoon. In the near future. https://larryssubs.com/?fbclid=IwAR2RRWwrdrrb_-Dux8iVpopSECScMbtEiduKNlfCTlN4D-oQJPcr5pViwMo

What a great edge-of-your-seat game! The Bills are 5-1, have the playoff seeding edge against both Ravens and Chiefs, have a bye week to rest and recover, injured players including Tre White are coming back, 3 out of next 4 games in Orchard Park with the (perceived) hardest stretch of the schedule behind them. Happy Monday!

McDermis was on WGR with Sal Capicola this morning and said Kumerow is only player ruled out for Sunday. Encouraging.

Not in the new stadium! 😜

Josh Allen-style rendering. xtra points if you can spot Elvis and the Chefs

No need to rush him back. Including the Thanksgiving game in which Tre was injured, the Bills record is 10-4 since that day. 4 losses were 2 OT games, Pats windstorm game, and a bad Josh throw to McKenzie away from the win in Miami. Won’t be surprised if he’s dressed for Packers and is given very limited snaps. If he seems ready, could be Jets the following week for first start since last year. The latest reports are that the rest of the injured players are close to being fully active for game day.

Right! Those crafty Bills are leaving little clues in uniform reveals- just like Beatle albums with the ‘Paul is Dead’ hoax. Oh, so clever. Hoping that Milano is a clue also. Maybe something to do with cookies!

Last I heard neither Miller or Diggs are the GMs for the Buffalo Bills, so I don't care much about who they want to invite to the party. I do like the idea that Buffalo has become a preferred destination for FAs, but right now they're doing fine without OBJ. As far as I know, he's still several weeks behind Tre in his ACL rehab, and even then, there's no guarantee he'll be 100% or any better than Shakir, Hodgins, or others who are already familiar with the playbook and Josh. Basically, the order goes: Tre comes back, stadium renderings, OBJ maybe someday, but if not, that's fine too.

Finally - here's the leaked rendering I was covertly given from a friend of a friend of friend of Jim Kelly.

I understand your point. The Bills are a class organization from top to bottom and I’m disappointed at the number of internet bullies who have shown an enormous lack of class with attacks on the OP. The Bills have succeeded in spite of numerous injuries. Josh Allen is a huge part of why they can overcome that challenge. Seeing Keenum’s less than stellar performance in his second stint in mop up duty raised concerns for Einstein, and he/she came here to share and discuss, presumably because he/she values your opinions. instead of a respectful dialogue or counterpoint, Einstein was blasted with insults. This is how you treat a fellow Bills’ fan? If you don’t find the topic interesting enough to contribute, skip it or choose an emoji that reflects your opinion. Go Bills!

It reminds me a bit of Brett Favre. He was relaxed and having fun. As a team leader, I think that attitude is contagious. Be smart, be competative, work hard to win, but have fun also. It IS a game.
