Bledsoe had 4000 in 2002

I think Lynn deserves a lot of credit for what he did with San Diego. They've had Rivers for a long time, but couldn't get by the Chiefs, Broncos and Raiders. I think he wins tonight and that could get him some extra votes.

Seems like we've been beating the Fins pretty steadily since Jim Kelly arrived. I know we lost 20 in a row in the 70's but in checking we are still 47-60-1 against our rivals. Will we ever catch up? I'd like to think that with the maturity of Josh Allen and our offense improving, we could start dominating our division the way the Pats have since 2001 and maybe even out those records. While I was at it, I noticed the Pats hold the edge 73-43-1. The only team in our division we have a winning record against is the Jets 62-54.

Yahoo is also showing it as a live broadcast. I think its the first time on a Sunday broadcast this year.

Saw something about avoiding politics on Thanksgiving and thought it might be interesting to see if the same holds true for football teams. I have Dolphins fans, a Raiders fan, Browns fans and Patriots fans in my family though I don't remember anything getting too heated. Patriots family were probably most obnoxious, but we moved away from New England last year, so don't see that side of the family now. How about you?

So its the Bye week for all my starters and I had to pick up backups because trades were too expensive. The moral of the story don't sleep on draft night.

Fun topic I will go with 5-1 as I still can't see us beating the Pats unless it is meaningless. Looks like they will be playing for homefield advantage for at least one game. I really think we can take the Jags, Fins (twice), Lions & Jets again.

Can’t win for losing. Barkley was already taken. Picked up Tyrod and hope Mayfield gets pulled or hurt

At tnis point your best bet would be to pick up a couple backups of QBs that may be benched soon or teams that give up a lot of QB hits and be ahead of the curve due to injury. Even with the arrest, Lauletta may see the field. Winston may end up back. Not kidding: AJ McCarron may see the field. Never know with Gruden. Kevin Hogan?
And deal from ANY position of strength...overpay for a QB in a trade if you can. Your fantasy's version of Brandon Beane for not upgrading this far into the season???
I picked up Lamar Jackson with Flacco having bad games he could see action

You were screwed the moment you missed the draft. I can't imagine you have anywhere near a good record....
4-5 although my total points are low. I'm holding my own because I have Kareem Hunt, ODB Jr. and Vikings defense. QBs are killing me though

You should see what they want. I usually trade with my son or son-in-law. No mercy league on tradefront.

Drop Taylor and pick up Mullens.Start Mullens.
Not available. 12 team league and everyone has at least 3 QBs. No one left but backups and injured.
1 hour ago, JoshAllenHasBigHands said:Bro. You drafted Darnold and Taylor? Even in a two QB league, that is a wild mistake.
Unfortunately they were autodrafted. That will teach me to fall asleep before draft starts.

I remember the days in the late 70's when the Bills were mostly unwatchable, but the fans were always great. I know the lack of TDs or even FGs is tough, but every now and then the team might surprise. Maybe this is the week Peterman plays out of his mind and Bills are competitive. Maybe game will be full of turnovers going our way. As a battle-scarred Bills fan, I've learned not to be too optimistic and enjoy the games. Now that I live far away, I even DVR the games so I can skip the bad parts for that one bit of good. Go and have fun! At least it isn't snowing yet.

I am in a 2QB league and unfortunately missed the draft. My original picks through autodraft were Darnold and Tyrod Taylor. As you can probably guess things went south when Tyrod was benched and people tend to stash QBs in the draft. To protect myself only Bills players were available for Week 1, so I picked up Peterman and Allen not knowing who would start. I used Taylor and Darnold until Tyrod was benched and had to switch to Allen. As you know all to well, Peterman was the only QB available until Derek Anderson showed up in week 7? I was forced to start Peterman in week 9 and actually got 12 points (probably because of the rushing TD) This week I'm still waiting for who will start, but I'm guessing it will be Peterman. Darnold has been lousy the last several weeks so on a whim I found McCown was available so I'm currently McCown/Peterman. It gets worse next week as everyone has a bye.
What would you do?

My son and grandson are both Dolphins fans. It doesn't affect our relationship at all. I root for the Dolphins to win when they don't play the Bills and they support the Bills as well in other games. We both have mutual hatred for the Pats and he lives in Boston.

After reading several posts of what we are doing wrong, how about a little positivity?
- Game tickets are getting cheaper. Back in the day (late 70's) I used to get end zone tickets for $8 and still had fun with a lousy team.
- Next year is going to be better cause it can't get much worse.
- At least the Sabres are getting better.
- You can always drink your sorrows and now you can take Uber or Lyft home.
- If you live out of town you don't have to pay the outrageous price for Sunday ticket.
- Every couple of weeks, the team looks like they have a chance.
- You can enjoy the outdoors more because you're not stuck inside watching the Bills.
- You could have been a Raiders fan.
- Winter is coming so you won't have to shovel snow or scrape ice off your car to get to a late season home game.
- Your wife might not yell at you as much for watching and cursing at the Bills when they lose.
Feel free to add your own!

Only way is to win and it would be great on MNF as the announcers will probably e gushing about Brady and Pats dominance over the last 20 years.

I get your point Yolo and strange things have happened to good teams this year. OSU got run over by Purdue and Bills beat Vikings at home, so maybe Bills can pull a miraculous upset somehow with the home crowd and Anderson playing lights out with Ivory running all over the Patsies. Its almost Halloween!

I lived in Chicago and it was old Soldier Field before the renovation. Bills had signed two quarterbacks in off season and future looked bright. Meaningless game but Doug Flutie played and looked pretty good. You know the rest of the story. Bills lose first 3 games with Rob Johnson and he gets injured and Flutie becomes a Pro bowl QB and Bills made the playoffs. Maybe something like that could happen again.
Anyways, It will be fun to see what happens with the possibility that all 3 QBs may get some playing time. I'm rooting for Josh Allen, but maybe Peterman will be our Flutie this year. Go Bills!

I remember going to a night game in the strike shortened 1982 season against the Vikings. It was not on the list as it was a Thursday night. My brother's favorite team at that time was the Vikings and Buffalo came back to win the game by one point after trailing 19-0. My brother wasn't happy but it sure was exciting in what turned out to be a horrible year for the NFL with the strike.

Didn't Brady have 500 yards passing against the Eagles? The result was a loss. I liked Tyrod's aversion to throwing interceptions. He was the anti-Fitz, but come from behind he was not.

Could easily happen. We have no QB, zero continuity on the o line, yeah 2-14 is not an outlandish prediction.

I don't care what the naysayers think, but making the playoffs last year has to count for something. It might start out ugly, but I predict Bills will be "us against the world" and protect their home turf like last year. A few wins on the road and we are playoff bound again.

I voted for Lawson, but thinking about a comeback don't you have to have done something in the past. Unless you count Clemson, I change it to Jerry Hughes. Hopefully the addition of Star in the middle can unleash both Lawson and Hughes to levels we saw when Mario and Marcel were here.
-
1. Bills surprise and make playoffs again
2. Defense continues to win games with turnovers
3. Passing offense is much improved with Benjamin making 1000 yards receiving

For Fantasy Junkies - Should I start Josh Allen?
in The Stadium Wall Archives

I’ve had Josh Allen the past 4 weeks and he is a consistent fantasy option. NE hasn’t played him yet so he’s. probably is a good option.
