  1. I think they'll be prepared as best as you can be in that situation. I hate to see lag as an added excuse for a bad game. no game should be taken lightly, I trust the Oline to keep doing what they have been doing both in the pass and run game. if von starts, the D is going to be even at another level.

    Von says he’s excited to play….   ??

    "I'm excited to get in front of the english" sure sounds like he is. 

     

    may have to wait on the final injury report/decision after friday's practice?

  3. Inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: what the future home of the Buffalo Bills could look like

    When the Buffalo Bills take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday fans will get a glimpse at the stadium that has had the biggest influence on the new Bills stadium that is being built in Orchard Park.

     

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in 2019 and was designed by Populous. It has become one of the top soccer venues in both the United Kingdom and the world.

     

     

    In 2022, the Bills selected Populous as the designer of the team's new stadium. When the Bills selected Populous, the stadium development team traveled the globe to visit other venues built by their new partner for some inspiration. That group included John Polka and Frank Cravotta, the masterminds behind the new stadium, set to open in 2026.

     

    Polka is the Vice President of Stadium Development and Cravotta is the Vice President of Stadium Design.

     

    “I remember standing on the field for the very first time and saying, this is exactly what we’ve been talking about,” Polka said about his first trip to Tottenham.

     

    “When we went there, about a year and a half ago, it was empty, so I’m really looking forward to what it feels and sounds like on Sunday,” Cravotta added.

    I didn't read every post here so I may have  missed it but when do the Bills fly to London?  I figured they would leave no later than today.

     

    The logistics of going to London


    The Bills are flying to London overnight on Thursday with an arrival scheduled for Friday morning. They will hold their final practice of the week on Friday afternoon and then meet with the media after practice to preview Sunday's matchup.

     

    The team's decision to fly out late in the week as opposed to earlier has been heavily studied by the Bills Performance Science Department, led by director of sports performance Joe Collins.

     

     

    Trevor Lawrence: Acclimation to London will be advantage vs. Bills

     

    “We’re going to obviously be well-rested, adapted to the time change, because that is a real thing,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said Sunday. “You’re on a big time change, it’s a long travel day. I’m not sure exactly what their travel plans are, if they’re coming out for the week, kind of like we usually do, which is Thursday, get here Friday morning.

     

    “We’re going to use it to our advantage, and anything we can, but we’ve got to have a great week, got to prepare the exact same way, but it’ll be nice to have a full week to get acclimated.”

     

    “The first three days here I think are hard,” Jaguars receiver Calvin Ridley said. “Your body is just all over the place. I feel like we’re here now, we’re ready for this next week.”

    Bills Mafia are NFL’s craziest fanbase who leap onto flaming tables and they are ready to party hard in London

    The Buffalo Bills will invade London this week.

    So will the Bills Mafia.

     

    One of the NFL’s most passionate (and crazy) fanbases has turned a hashtag into a living and breathing football culture, leaping onto flaming tables, partying like there’s no tomorrow, and earning the respect of everyone from PGA star Rory McIlroy to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

     

    “When you get home, pay those fans some f****** respect,” said Buffalo QB Josh Allen, after the Bills Mafia helped the team dig out of the snow in western New York to make it Detroit for a game against Cleveland in 2022. “Get 'em something nice. Treat 'em well. Because that was f****** awesome to see.”

     

    That locker-room footage of Allen celebrating a tough victory was posted by the Bills’ official account and introduced with, “This win is for Bills Mafia,” highlighting the unique and unbreakable bond between the small-market franchise and its fiercely loyal fanbase.

     

    For the Bills (3-1), Week 5 against the Jags inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday doubles as an international showcase and just another game during a season that will hopefully end up in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII.

    Bills offense chasing history behind Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs

    Allen is now the favorite to win MVP, per Caesar’s Sportsbook (+400). after winning AFC Offensive Player of the Week in two of the past three weeks.

    Allen's favorite receiver has once again been Stefon Diggs, who has 31 receptions for 399 yards and four touchdowns.

     

    They'll look to keep it going in London when they face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense (9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network) that ranks 22nd in passing yards per game allowed (238.3).

     

    Allen has completed a league-high 74.8% of his passes and is coming off the first game of his career where he had a perfect passer rating (158.3). He has never finished a season with higher than a 69.2 completion percentage (2020).

     

    The Diggs-Allen connection, which came under the microscope this offseason, was hot against the Dolphins with Diggs scoring three touchdowns. Only Eric Moulds (33) had more through the first four games of a season in team history

     

    Allen, when asked on Wednesday if he’s surprised by anything Diggs does at this point, said, “It’s Stefon Diggs, man. He should’ve gotten Player of the Week. That’s all I’ll say.”

    91% of staff picked BUF to win

     

    The second of the NFL’s international games is slated for Sunday morning as the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Buffalo Bills in London. The UK fans will be treated to a matchup between two AFC teams on the shortlist of legitimate conference championship contenders.

     

    The Jaguars will enter as nearly a touchdown underdog.

     

    Jaguars-Bills is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The game will be televised on NFL Network.

     

    There were plenty of concerns about the Bills as recently as a few weeks ago — some valid, and others perhaps a bit overreactionary. With three straight wins by more than 20 points, including a dominant showing in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, it appears the Bills’ offense is back and their defense remains very good.

     

    One concern lingers, however, which is the defense’s loss to star defensive back Tre’Davious White, who will reportedly miss the remainder of the season after tearing his Achilles in Week 4. Von Miller’s looming return could help alleviate some of the long-term sting.

     

     

    The location of this Week 5 AFC matchup may be a big adjustment for the Bills, but the Jaguars are playing in London for a second consecutive week. Despite the familiarity advantage, it would be a minor surprise to see Jacksonville win.

     

    Trevor Lawrence and his offensive weapons will likely need to click early and often to keep pace with a Buffalo offense led by the Josh Allen-Stefon Diggs connection that’s firing on all cylinders.
