I doubt that. Many on the board who don’t care for night games ( Sunday and Monday in particular) don’t like them because they work the next morning. A home night game is even worse for this group if they wish to attend. Most Bills fans are aware of the team’s lackluster history in night games , and have some epic beat downs and meltdowns ingrained in their memory. Couple that with the ridiculous domination of the Bills by New England for the last two decades, and you see why a primetime game vs the Pats doesn’t sound too appetizing.

It’s football, entertainment and not that important. Fans want to root for players they like, and the unimportance of football makes it easier to be picky. If I don’t like a player’s personality, I’m probably not a big fan of theirs. We don’t root for politicians, we vote for them. Self confidence , even cockiness can be great for athletes. No need to look like 1970s Elton John or something at the presser, or have weird verbal interactions with the media.

That’s about it. Amazing it would even have to be argued. Libs / progs/ Dems have absolutely lost their minds.

Lol, you missed where I said he isn’t what he once was. Yes, MVP type play would make the personality / behavior tolerable while it lasted.

Seriously. This stuff is some of the most illogical, idiotic type of thinking I’ve ever seen. You’re either male or female. If it’s ambiguous at birth , then it will be treated. Identifying is just a euphemism for “ pretending to be”. How is a male pretending to be female allowed in a women s sporting competition. This stuff is not normal, and any hope the Dems had is likely to be flushed along with this ( and other) agenda. So in the end, that’s a good thing but what a joke they’ve become.

Cam may still be a decent QB ( not what he once was) , but wouldn’t want him here. Have to agree with AFL and others; I just never liked the guy’s personality and the wacky outfits and mannerisms at the podium. He seems to be a narcissist, maybe manic depressive idk. If I had to guess, I’d say he probably has a psychological disorder or two.

I’d love to see the early exit , as it would make for a much more enjoyable NFL playoff experience. The Ravens May have exposed the Pats , but I’m not sure many teams can take advantage of it.

Which is fine, but the league is really about getting fans to watch on TV. The fans care about rivalries, which is why the NFL has always thought them to be important. If players, not fans cared about rivalries the NFL wouldn’t care at all.

Coaches don’t want a QB controversy undermining the team, ever. Anytime you put the backup QB in without injury, this could happen as it happens even with an injury. The QB is just too important of a position for there to be any doubt about who “ the guy “ is. Once you make a move to sit the starting QB in favor of another , he’s all but done as your leader. That’s just how it is.

Actually, a stat was posted this week showing Mayfield had worst rating in the league when not pressured. I’m guessing he’s not worst in the league when rushed.

Many games come down to a few key plays here or there; and trap games are a myth. Besides, the Bills aren’t consistently good enough to have a “ trap “ game. They’re not even favored vs Browns.

Wow. That would be a cool feat for this year’s team to pull off, easy schedule or not. 1965? That’s before many on this forum ( myself included) were even alive.

They got a late TD and still needed to recover an onside kick ( practically impossible under new rules) to even have a chance. Almost doesn’t mean much. All of the Bills games were fairly close, some required comebacks and the MIA game wasn’t much different. They’ve played pretty consistent football. They’re really not good enough for a close game to mean they played down to anyone’s level. When they beat winning teams then falter and struggle vs a weak one, that would apply.

How many of Edelman’s YAC yards are due to his ability, vs where the ball was placed ?Tyreek Hill ? Let’s be honest, all the things you mentioned can help YAC. Play design can help too. The biggest influence is the talent of the WR. Otherwise, WR are interchangeable, which my eyes tell me they absolutely are not.

Or maybe they play to their own skill level , and do so pretty consistently. I wish they could have played to the Pats* and Eagles skill level, but they just aren’t there yet in terms of overall talent.

Lol that’s rough.... a tough situation there, hope the Bills can show up that day. I’ll be skipping two large gatherings and watching in a hermetically sealed environment ( with plenty of rum) or a bar somewhere. I just cannot deal with it in a group setting like that. Hate that the Bills are playing ( late) on Turkey day, but there you have it !

Lol, it’s entertainment and a game. Fans can’t “ aim higher” etc etc because they have zero impact on the team. How many different teams have won Superbowls ? How many have never won it ? How many have won it, but ages ago where many current fans wouldn’t even remember it or weren’t alive to see it ? If the standard is the Super Bowl each and every year, that’s going to be a disappointing way to watch football. It’s a great game, and every season and each game are it’s own thing. Fans always want to win the Super Bowl and compete for championships every year, but realize that’s unlikely in the NFL. It’s all about expectations. How we watch football is probably an indicator about our approach to life. Can I not enjoy my Caribbean vacation because I’m not on a private island with a butler ? Can I not enjoy may sports car because it’s not a Bentley ? A dinner out if it’s not at Peter Luger ? Misery is ingrained in some people. It’s like Ferris Beuller said about life ..” if you don’t stop and smell the roses once in awhile , you might miss it !”. Be miserable if you must, but you don’t need to try to drag everyone into your bad day. Why do you find other fans enjoying the season so sad ?

Yeah, in 2017. I don’t think that game is relevant here, it’s a very different roster.

But, but , but he’s thrown for over 300 yards in a single game! He’s clearly been outperformed! He’ll certainly be cut . Good thing DC let us all know where we heard it lest anyone forget.

If the Bills were smart, they’d just consult the legions of armchair GMs on TSW. They already know Allen isn’t worth building around, and the team should move on. This will prevent them from wasting any more time.

I’d be perfectly fine with just beating them for a change. No PT tv necessary.

Liked his game in the past. Hope he’s got something left

Link ?

It wasn’t. That team had a very good defense ( better than the current edition) and a developing, but very conservative - even for the time- offense. They were a legit SB contender in the AFC, and would have hosted the AFCCG if not for an inexplicable late season road loss to a putrid Tampa Bay team.

INteresting....
