So.. Q for Moderators: Would you rather moderate a 1 PM game, or a night game?
Seems a 1 PM game is easier, since most posters are half in the tank before a night game even starts.

No. It's 1849. Get with the mil time.
These 2020 starts are killing me.

Coaching is definitely important, not arguing with that. I've just seen enough times where the coaching was fine, but the players sure weren't.
Conversely, I've seen situations where the players were fine, and the coaching was subpar. The entire Rex Ryan era comes to mind.

I'm quasi-interested in casinos. The intellectual challenge of playing odds is very interesting.
But to be shallow: the cigarette smoke gets to me. There is literally a cloud in every casino I have visited. What is it with gamblers and smoking? Is it OCD?

I hope Milano can play. With him on the field the defense is elite. Then again we had a couple backups playing against the Texans and still shut them out. Our defense's success this year is more about coaching than talent IMO.
I prefer Milano not play. Hamstrings can be a lingering injury if not handled right.
Yeah. If Leslie Frazier doesn't get a Head Coaching gig soon, it will be a big letdown.
Same with Daboll.

As for your roofer, that is exactly my point. The new stadium will not be for people like him...it is for the professionals making well into the 6 figures.
You haven't spent much time in Amherst, or looking at who is buying the hundreds of new houses put in in Lancaster lately? Sure, were are not loaded with people whos net worth is over $100 million dollars....but in terms of people making 6 figures....I think there are more than you believe there are in the metro Buffalo and Rochester area.
And that day, my friend, will be when I lose a bit of enthusiasm for the Bills. I remember being a scruffy 20 year old scraping enough together to buy a ticket, park the car and tailgate. I went to Dickies Donuts down the road after. Life was the balls and you didn't have to be a 6-figure.

I can’t find it now but I read an article saying that the extent of the breach wasn’t yet known and the hackers may have had full access to anything that relies on Amazon Web Services (their cloud platform) and it said if your data was stored anywhere on those servers that it could be compromised even if you’ve never used twitch.
I guess I should have said Amazon data “may have been breached” (we know twitch was for sure).
as far as the leaked data, I saw people talking about it on Reddit. There was a link to download all the data and some people saying it contained passwords. But I don’t know if that’s actually true or not.
If AWS was hacked, we're in deep kimchi. I mean President addressing both houses of congress kimchi. 3/4 of national security runs on AWS.
Regarding passwords.. no way. Bezo's didn't become the world's richest divorcee by being an idiot. Amazon passwords are thoroughly hashed and salted.

Just that a large number of the current 'tailgate' crowd will be replaced by older people with higher incomes that aren't tailgaters
Too bad Buffalo is an economic wasteland and there's about 4 of these people with higher incomes of which you speak.
My roofer can't afford downtown, but he can afford OP.

Just say "CHEAP."
Ever wonder why UB is in Amherst? One of Nelson Rockefeller's major donors owned that land.
Additionally, Rockefeller was a tremendous racist and wanted UB in the suburbs to isolate it.
He also oversaw a design of the Robert Moses Parkway that couldn't accommodate Greyhound buses, for the same reason.

If the state pitches in enough money to make a downtown location the same cost as OP, do you think the team really cares that it’s not in OP? Is there one reason other than cost why the team cares if they stay in OP?
The team would gladly move downtown if NY contributed enough to make it cost neutral to staying in OP.
I'll eat my shorts if Albany contributed the billion+ needed to make a downtown stadium feasible. We aren't the Yankees or the Mets.

Okie dokey. If NY wants to dictate the location, then NY foots the majority of the stadium cost. It works no other way.
The major financier gets their choice of location.
I guarantee: The Bills are not financing a stadium in a location against their wishes. They want Orchard Park.
I'm sure the Bills would accept a downtown stadium, as long as they aren't the wallet being pick-pocketed.

Knox will garner 1 critical 3rd down conversion, and 1 TD.
His other achievement will be soaking up attention from the KC secondary, allowing someone else to become open.
PS: I have no problems with Matt Milano. But I have serious problems with his hamstring. If I met his hamstring in a bar, I'd give him a good solid punch. Liquid courage and all.

Well damn, if a 6th round pick 2 years from now & $5.8 million this year was all that was needed, I wish the Bills hopped on that one!
He's not process material. He's far from it.

The first thing he will advise members of the PA to do is quit speaking with the media.
Excellent advice, if so.
I have mixed views on unions. I have some opinions on those workers at Spot Coffee, as compared to the NFLPA. You're an idiot if you can't recognize the dissonance between the two. I won't get into it further as this is a football board.
Just glad to see ML, a former Bill and not a bad guy, in a position of influence.

Schefter made this pronouncement in the pregame commentary when the start of the game was delayed 30 minutes for a thunder storm. (A $5 BILLION dome stadium and they can't play in it during a thunder storm? What the h*ll?)
He also said during the same soliloquy that Mahomes and Herbert were the two best young QBs in the NFL and would be the choices of any NFL GM looking to start a franchise.
I'm not here to put down Mahomes or Herbert, I agree with Schefty that they are amazing young QBs. I don't need to put them down to believe that Josh is fantastic too. Was Schefty just throwing a hot take out there on the fly and just overlooked Allen, or does he really put Mahomes and Herbert in a different tier than Allen?
I think Allen legitimately deserves to be in the conversation for best young NFL QB. I would put Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, and Watson all in that group. Watson obviously has some issues that could derail his career, and I could see some people leaving him out of that conversation right now because of it. I'm not going to get mad about someone believing that Allen isn't the best of the three, but for Josh to not even earn an honorable mention is a bit strange.
For my money, I wouldn't trade Allen for either of them. That's not a knock on Mahomes or Herbert, I just have a huge amount of faith in Josh and believe he has the traits to be an all-time great QB. I also believe Josh's DNA fits Buffalo far better than either of the other two guys would.
Today, I consider Josh to be a Top-5 QB in the NFL. But... for the reasons highlighted, I consider Josh to be, without a doubt, to be the Best QB in the league for the Buffalo Bills.
The events surrounding Josh's drafting by Buffalo are just short of a spiritual or religious event. There was more than luck at play during that period.

If they had any marketing sense, they would be printing Firebaugh hoodies by the dozens now. There's a market.

1. They expect a close game, with both teams scoring a lot of points. I don't know about that. To me, it depends on the Milano/Kelce situation.
2. Their forum software is ugly as sin. It's like trolling at MySpace. Makes me appreciate TSW even more.

I'm glad the Bills are underdogs (slightly). They prepare better and play better from that position.

An update from Mary this afternoon.
Ok my prayer warriors as of today, Cindy will be considered "hospice." Yesterday was an extremely draining day. Linda and I went to see her. We had a nice visit and even laughed a little. I had to sleep on my decision being her health care proxy. There is no quality of life left for her. Tomorrow is her wedding anniversary and I believe she is going to join her wonderful husband in heaven. Please pray that her suffering is over and she is definitely going to much happier place. I hope I do not have to go through this process again for a very long time. Thank you for all your kind words over the past week. Love you all. Pray for my sister!!
RIP #89.
And healing prayers for Mary. I can't imagine the pressure she was under. Unbelievable.

Downtown or OP.. never mind. This is a very wrong time for that conversation.
