Well, not necessarily. However, this one is !

This ftw. Blue Cheese just has way more complexity and depth of flavor. I can see where kids might not like it. A great blue cheese dressing that you might not expect is from the Cheesecake Factory. Absolutely amazing version and they sell it in mason jars. If you have the means, I highly recommend it !

If Singletary doesn’t play, it won’t be due to NEs defense. His hammy is either good to go or it isn’t. Doesn’t matter which defense he’s running against. NE is good on D, but they’re not the 2000 Ravens.

Yeah, they don’t really have one guy that wows you. They love those weird defensive looks with guys standing at the los. Josh Allen needs to know that it’s okay to take a sack sometimes. You can’t force anything into this secondary. Turnovers are going to be a key as always vs NE.

Agreed. Loud out of the gate and don’t give the Pats* a free drive to start the 3rd quarter when half the stadium is at the concession/ bathroom etc.

Except the fans. Two bye weeks is absolutely awful. They did it before, one season in the 1990s ( not sure which). It stunk, one bye week is bad enough.

Right. To anyone who’s been paying attention ( and a lot of us have) , this is just the same regurgitated line from years past when that question is inevitably asked. Old news, probably the same thing any QB wants to do on the road so big deal. Has zero impact on this week and it’s drivel coming from Marcia or any other player.

He was pretty complimentary post game back in 2011. Particularly of Fred Jackson , iirc.

Yep. They’re bending over backwards with mea culpas on Jones, but with Allen they’ll go through contortions to emphasize the bad points as he’s in Buffalo. Jones will certainly have his mistakes and even had an INT dropped Sunday. His game was impressive, but it was one game. Funny how quickly they change their tune when it’s a big market player.

I hated the pick when it was made and facepalmed it at a draft party. I wanted Rosen ?at that point as he seemed “ safe” and Allen was a big risk. I thought of Mahomes the previous year as a boom or bust pick, and Allen seemed like that with a lot less boom. He’s definitely impressed me thus far and has probably already exceeded what I thought he might be capable of. He’s not there yet, but he seems headed in that direction. The arrow is pointing up.

Numbers, probabilities, metrics etc etc. Sure, data is cool in a lot of ways but it’s also cold and boring. The real magic of the NFL ( and sports in general) lies in its ability to surprise us. Dramatic changes of momentum, incredible plays and surprising outcomes are what keep us watching. Through all the analysis, this game has potential for those things to occur.

A few nice Micah Hyde shots to the midsection are in order Sunday.

Southern Tier, if available in your area, has some good ones.

They tore them down in 1990 as well.

Haven’t seen ‘em , but I’m sure it’s all in good fun. Way to much “ sensitivity” out there these days. One that I do find annoying is that stupid “ we ready, we ready” chant. Not sure if it’s NFLN , but I can’t stand it. I usually end of switching off NFLN after a few minutes as they constantly reference the Patriots regardless of the subject being discussed.

Well that was the uniform they won in back in 2011, so why not ?

Definitely not a must win for the Bills after their 3-0 start. The must wins are coming up , with three of the next 4 at home. That stretch will have a lot to do with the Bills postseason hopes in 2019, as it gets a bit tougher after that. Building up a cushion of wins there will provide a realistic path to the playoffs in the back half of the season. If the Bills stumble in that stretch, the prospects of a .500 type season rears it’s head. A win vs New England at home right now would be huge for their upward trajectory, but about as far from a must in as possible. Unless, of course you are holding onto hopes of winning the AFCE.

Love it. Big fan of Ian Eagle’s energetic style. Nantz is such a Patriots lapdog that even having the excellent Tony Romo as analyst doesn’t overcome it.

Iirc, that’s how he signed his artwork. Guy’s a pretty accomplished painter.

Sounds about right. I’d have put it at about 15-20% chance of Bills winning. It’ll take a lot of things going right, but maybe that once every eight seasons thing continues.

They are basing it on the last 18 years. Before Brady , the season series between the clubs stood at 41-38-1 in favor of New England. Pretty even. Since ? Not even close as it’s 74-43-1 and counting. The Bills are at home, but they’re playing the Patriots. Hence the spread.

Cowboys, then Redskins. No special reason, goes way back to pre Jerry Jones and Snyder. Just never liked either of them.

Hmmmm, maybe and maybe not. Seeing Brady carted off with a devastating knee injury a la Pollard would certainly qualify for me. While a Bills loss would still sting, I’d take being able to actually enjoy an NFL football season for the first time since probably ‘08. Any others weren’t really enjoyable until NE was officially out of the Super Bowl tournament. It’s been an awful 17 plus years sticking with the game I love dominated by a team I despise with a passion.

I expect the Bills defense to do a pretty solid ( if maybe unspectacular) job. The crowd will be into it for sure, at least at the outset. The deciding factor will likely be Josh Allen and the Bills offense as a whole. If the Bills manage to win this game, it will probably due to efficient and largely error free offense that controls the clock with Allen hitting on some big plays.
