Is that live camera still active at the new stadium construction site? Might be a good way to checkout how hard the snow is coming down for us out of town folks

This is definitely the way to handle it. We need him healthy & sharp come playoffs. And for once, it looks like guys will be coming back at the right time instead of losing them at the worst time. Just need Amari, Coleman & Kincaid healthy, and we're in business! Another great thing about having Milano back is that it gives us a bit more leeway if anyone else gets hurt. Obviously, I hope no one gets hurt, but Bernard got injured in the playoffs last year. If that happened, it'll be a major benefit having Milano there.

Welcome back!

Fitz on Twitter has been great! He'll also respond to you when you reply to his posts, and he seems like he's everywhere. I felt all sweet & special when he replied to me just last night. What a swell guy! 😁

But NFL math never works. The Ravens defense is 23rd in points, allowing 24.5 PPG, and their pass D is 31st, giving up 277 YPG. We put up 10 points & threw for 180 yards & 0 TDs. Meanwhile, they lost to the Raiders & Browns, the latter of which put up 29 points on them. So even though the 49ers only put up 17 points against a team we blew out, doesn't mean Purdy won't be able to have much more success against our D. Not saying he'll carve us up, but divisional games are a lot different than out of conference games. Maybe he'll do awful in the snow, or maybe the snow benefits them more than us. CMC might finally come alive this game, and we'll have to hope Cook can match him.

Agreed. The only reason I'd want to skip KC is to avoid the potential humiliation of being 0-4 in the playoffs against them. Outside of that, I'd rather play them than play the Ravens. No matter how good the D looks during the regular season, I don't trust them to be able to stop the run in the playoffs. Last year we were screwed over by injuries, but it's not like the did any better against the Bengals in 2022 or the Chiefs in 2023. And if they commit to slowing down Henry, Lamar can torch them over the top. He's been both dangerous & efficient passing this year. I know it was only week 4, but it wasn't just a loss, it was a blowout. We didn't even look like we belonged in the same conversation as them.

Back in the day when I worked at Circuit City, I was trying to look up an order on the ancient computers they had & saw the name "Dirk Nowitzki." I realized that anyone who had ever ordered anything to be picked up at ANY location was saved in the system, including phone numbers & addresses. Being an idiot teenager, I quickly searched up Bills players & jotted down several phone numbers. I was too afraid to call any of them, but my dumb*ss did call Dirk & got his voicemail, but the next time I called the number was disconnected 😅

They absolutely could have. But could, woulda, shoulda... No point in complaining now (though that probably won't stop me the first time snow screws us over in the new stadium) 😅

Caleb is lucky he's a rookie 1st round QB, otherwise his ass would be on the hot seat too. Obviously, the coach deserves plenty of blame for not calling the TO, but Caleb is just as responsible for playing with no urgency! Dude was just lolly-gagging back there, twiddling his thumbs while the clocked ticked away. Everyone at my house began yelling "SNAP THE BALL!" as he just waited an additional 8 seconds after getting to the line to even hike it. And that's after he took a sack at the worst possible time! Eberflus could've bailed his QB out with a TO there, but Caleb playing with his head in the clouds at the end of the game was just baffling to watch.

I get what you're saying, but the flip side is it being a REAL rivalry where both teams go back & forth trading victories & losses. I'd rather not lose to the Dolphins just to keep the rivalry more heated. If we continue beating them for the next decade, I'm more than happy with things staying the way they are. But in a way yeah, I wish they'd be a bit more competitive against OTHER teams sometimes, but that's mainly because it makes our wins against them more credible. If the Dolphins continue to crap the bed every time they play an above average team, it makes our 2 wins against them not impressive at all

See, Stefon Diggs totally overreacted. Josh wasn't "cheating" on his old gf, he was just courting his future wife! Congrats to Josh & Hailee, you guys are both awesome!

It didn't say he wasn't accurate, he's just not as accurate as some other players, and he's not known for tight timing/getting the ball out quick or throwing guys open. That's all true, and it's one of the reasons why Bills receivers never ranked highly in YAC in years past. That's changed now, but mostly because of all the WR screens. It's not an insult or anything, Josh is just never going to be like Brady with the quick timing routes or have Purdy's efficiency.

Thank you, but I won't be needing it after I become filthy rich! But in the rare chance that I'm wrong, I have an out. It's called jumping off a cliff.

Bills - 33 49ers - 33 First tie of the NFL season. Betting the house on it.

🚨🚨👮‍♂️ Sir, that sounds an awful lot like Bills talk. 👮‍♂️🚨🚨

This drive is exactly what I'm worried about Detroit can really pound the ball. Just wish they used Montgomery more since I'm starting him in fantasy! 😅

I don't like red on red, but they've got a great record while wearing them! And I don't want to hear "correlation does not equal causation." This is sports! Superstitions are real, and their powers cannot be denied!

But despite those 2 losses coming in 2021, I'd rather the team be playing like they did in 2021 than any of those other years. Maybe this time just be able to hold onto a lead with 13 seconds left.

Josh Allen Dion Dawkins Terrell Bernard Taron Johnson That's about it. The other players listed are good, but there's others having better years. I think Spencer Brown is worthy, but he's probably not recognizable enough to get the nod over some more well known players.

Maybe not in Buffalo, but I think the smarter plan overall would've been to place teams in smaller markets to begin with. Cities without multiple major pro sports franchises, with the potential to develop passionate LOYAL fan bases, would be better than just picking every huge market with way more things to do. If you're one of the biggest shows in town, there's a better chance to draw & retain interest. College football can pack 50k - 60k+ stadiums in smaller communities not just because the students fill the stadium, but because the whole community gets invested. And I think it'd be smart to choose NFL-hungry markets before throwing more teams in already saturated markets.

I'd like to hang onto him if possible. Everyone already talks about Kincaid like he's an elite star in the league, but a lot of that still feels like projection & what we HOPE will be true one day. We know Knox isn't elite, but he's good in a lot of situations, allows for more flexibility with multiple TE packages, and has come up big in quite a few games. And not having Kincaid last week didn't feel so bad knowing Knox was there.

1. Chiefs 2. Patriots 3. Bucs 4. Rams 5. 49ers 6. Bengals 7. Eagles 8. Bills Also, you listed the Bengals twice 😉 I also feel it's meaningful, but I do not believe "you are who your record says you are." 2022 proved that's not true. We were a better team in 2021 with a worse record. Hell, I think last year's team would've beaten Baltimore in the playoffs had we beaten the Chiefs, and this year I'm not so sure (mainly because of Henry). I also don't think the Chiefs aren't as good as their record says they are, though that doesn't mean they couldn't win a SB.

For me, I'm reminded of 2022. I'm not saying things will turn out that way, but you don't have to look that far back to see when people were saying things like "you are what your record says you are" and hand-waving away the obvious issues. We controlled the 1 seed the 2nd half of the season until the Bengals game was cancelled, and people thought it was definitely our year. I've seen a lot of revisionist conversations around that year, with a lot of people acting like "well of course we were going to lose in the playoffs... everyone saw that coming!" but in reality, most people didn't want to hear that at the time. Again, I'm not saying "this is 2022 all over again!" I'm simply pointing out that it could still go either way. Things that would help convince me this team is different & to REALLY buy in: 1. Allen playing more efficient like at the beginning of the year. He's thrown 5 INTs in the last 4 games vs 0 INTs in the first 7. 2. Defense being able to stop / better manage good RBs 3. Defense continuing to get pressure on QBs 4. Being able to establish the run against good defenses & Cook being more productive overall 5. WRs & TEs making plays down field. We've been effective getting WR screens & short outlet passes going, but it'd be nice to see more plays further down the field open up. The better defenses in the playoffs will look to stop the short game, and we haven't shown that we can punish them over the top. Not all of these things need to happen, but I'd like to see any of them happen when the opportunity presents itself. Like they have a chance to prove #2 against the 49ers & especially the Lions. #1 & #5 would be a good time vs the Rams, Lions & Patriots, as they're in the bottom half of the league in pass defense.

That's the singular good victory we've had, and that was in a wind tunnel. Neither team looked good, but yes, a win is a win. That aside, we've won a bunch of WC games, mostly against backup QBs. Then we choked against KC twice & got blown out by the Bengals. And out of all 4 of our elimination games, Allen only played great once. Every other time he's been average or below average. We need to beat a GOOD team in the playoffs again. The 49ers of years past have definitely accomplished more in that department.

Well it ended up being a nice day after all!
