Hey TBD colleagues: I don't often post, so I found this amusing. I see why yall do it especially those who are good at it. Since it has been easy to be annoyed by the evil empire, I had this opportunity to be on the "inside". Nice folks but not my folks. I know I'm still a true Bills fan even though my opinion of them is altered. The table is about to turn, and I'll definitely return to my table there when it does. Go Bills!!

So last Sunday, I go to DC with my wife for an cultural fest. Hang out with her til 12:45. Go to nearest sports bar which turns out to be adopted by Pats fans. Outnumbered 200-1 (later when we score TD, I find 2 of my kind). People were nice enough. No buffalo wings there, just something called buffalo chicken flat bread. Tasty, had to eat with fork. I must admit I was a little annoyed with the adulation of Brady-Belichek. Dynamic duo shirts. Yuck. GOAT shirts. Yuck. I was thinking of leaving if Pats go up 20-3. I'm glad I stayed. That crowd became real nervous in 2nd half. They were dumb struck. I savored it. But my take-away was that they were fans just like me. Pretty good folks. A week later, I'm wondering if I'm a true Bills fan?? Go Bills!!

Do that stuff in the coaches room. Now an impression has been made that Josh doesn't think well in a game!
I don't remember that kind of gesture with Peterman. These days at QB you have to have smarts and a rocket launcher. Pman didn't seem to have both. Hope JA does.

As next years backup after we trade Barkley for a first because he played so well against the titans but then josh came back and showed us that he's the guy... Yeah. Lets do that.
Nice script for a feel good movie …

4 Turnovers plus a sack that took them out of FG range. He was a big part of the points NE got and the lack of scoring we had. For right now it’s OK but it forces some not fun questions about his play which is very up and down
I think Tom Terrific is the GOAT at throwing balls in the dirt. When will Josh pick up this skill??

247 did helmets in local university colors. Thought this one was interesting. Would never change the whites but this looked pretty good.
Can you show us blue and red buffalo on a Bills' blue helmet? We've tried red and while helmets, but not Bills' blue with a mean red and white center stripe and white face guard.

Gruden's had some tough luck on that team. He followed a 4-12 debut season (an improvement from his predecessor) with 2 winning seasons. After a down year in 2017 (7-9) they looked poised to make the playoffs starting 6-3 before losing their QB (and then losing their b/u QB) to injury. Now they're paying a A Smith a huge chunk of money to rehab.
I don't know how much influence Gruden has over personnel, but it's fair to wonder if the reason for some of their draft blunders and personnel problems (i.e. mediocre talents like Josh Norman eating up their cap space) is their meddling owner. Snyder is a fan who thinks he knows better than the pros, and can't seem to help himself from overruling them.
He's the common denominator in Washington over the last 20+ years.
As a Bill's fan in NVA, I'm starting to hear that Jay is toast. Good coach but dealt a bad hand, especially with QB going on rehab and meddling owner. Hard luck for Jay, but it's happened before in NFL.

They haven't looked great. They squeaked by in 2 of the 3 games that they should have won handily.
We have a lot of growing up to do offensively. I'm not saying we can't win but we can't play the way we have - it must be better.
Earlier in the week I was thinking we had 60% chance, but now down to 40% after realizing that if NE was playing the teams we beat they would be 3 TD favorites, and yes, they were squeakers for us!! However, 40% is higher than in years past. We will win with 100 yds rushing, and 100 yds dink and dunk to Cole and TJ, and 2 Brady INTs. Go Bills.

I would like to see his next presser after we give them a good drubbing this Sunday. Yea, that would be sweet. I wonder if he'd be so complimentary?

I don't have a good feel for how the game turns out, but several things are givens. Among them, Belichick will have a strategy on defense to take something away and challenge Buffalo to move the ball without that one facet of their offense. It will be whatever Belichick thinks Buffalo depends on the most to make their offense click. It could be the running game. It could be Josh's tendency to roll out and make plays on the run. Whatever it is, Buffalo's success on offense will depend on Josh Allen's ability to operate out of his comfort zone.
When Buffalo is on defense, New England has demonstrated the ability to do a lot of different things. Last season, and it progressed, New England appeared to start relying on the running game a lot more, but this season, the running game has not been that much of a factor. Instead, Brady has been putting up some big numbers again. History has shown he can do that relying a great deal on tight ends or receivers, and the throws to running backs a lot too. One constant when he's available is Julian Edelman. I suspect Buffalo will use a lot of nickel alignment versus New England. They like to do that anyway. Hopefully, Taron Johnson is ready to go. Edelman going against Siran Neal is a mismatch that Brady will drool over.
Yes, Bill will make us one dimensional. I think he'll load the box to stop run, and Josh will have to find single coverage or throw it away. Need plenty of dink and dunk. We need let them get 150 yards rushing, but pick Brady like a vulture on roadkill.

Unlike our first SB, Bill will try to take away our run game. Josh needs to channel Montana with short quick crossing passes. Beasley, are you ready?

As a career educator, I am a big believer in the growth mindset because I want my students to believe that they can become smarter by working harder. I know this is true. The fixed mindset says I'm inherently smart and I don't have to work as hard. In public schools, we have the opportunity to save some kids and help them overcome the odds over an extended timeline. In NFL, however, you might have a growth mindset about getting better, but if your talent is limited, or those around you are overmatched against better competition, then you are not going to have the chance to get better. I'm not sure that the Super Bowl Bills had a growth mindset. Probably, a fixed mindset thinking they were just better than everyone else, and they didn't work as hard. Regardless of mindset, our Bills teams in the 21st century would have won some Super Bowls with Brady, Elway, Big Ben, Favre, Rodgers, Ryan, Stafford, Luck, etc. Having said all of this, I do like the combo of mindset and talent under the present leadership. Go Bills!!

Agreed.
We were getting the same press when Rex came to town.
"Is this thing on? Cause it's gonna be."
Destroyed the Colts in the opener--it felt like the hype was justified.
It obviously came crashing down shortly thereafter.
I expect similar results in Cleveland. I would be very surprised if they finished above .500.
My gut feeling on that is a lesson I have learned (well, I have to relearn it every year) with the Patriots, as I am in the New England area myself: just because I know the name of a football player, it does not mean that they are good. And conversely, just because a unit can be made up of guys who look like they have been working at Target for the past year (and they very well may have been), does not mean that with good coaching and a good system, they can't be stars.
It is not just New England that operates this way--Pit does as well, they just happen to be little brothers to the juggernaut that is New England.
But just look at James Conner: last season the talk was all about LeVeon Bell, no one was paying Conner any mind, he was an afterthought, someone who could never replace Bell's production. Now, he's one of the studs of the league at RB, and the media talks about him like it's a given that he's a star.
I'm obviously not making any earth shattering points here, and like my father, I'm taking 1000 words to say what could be said in 100, but my only belabored point is this:
I wouldn't be surprised if Miami finishes with more wins than Cleveland this year.
But the addendum to that is, my surprise and 5 nickels will get you a quarter, so I also wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland won the Super Bowl this year.
Happy Labor Day all.
With Pitt and NE, the QB makes the cogs turn. Bills are solid contenders if we had either of those QBs. There are about 5 other NFL QBs that would make our Bills legit (Mahomes, Rodgers, Stafford, Ryan, Brees). Hopefully, JA becomes a QB mentioned with the best. This Sunday at 4:30, we'll know a lot more. Go Bills!!

My take is that Shady became a better man in Buffalo. The school of hard knocks and his embracing the role of big brother to the younger guys resulted in his being less selfish. Good luck Shady! Go Bills!!

Fess up: we're all afraid to switch because we want to be on the bandwagon when they take that Lombardi back to One Bills Drive.

I'd rather eat dog pooh than root for any other team, but I could for a cool million. Thanks Gug for giving me this deep thinking exercise.

I vote for Tues and Wed night games.
A game in China
Eliminate field goals
Inside the 20, let teams have a 5th down worth 5 points, and a 6th down worth 3 points.

If this is your pre-season form, can't wait to when the games count.

The throw was ugly but it's preseason
That IS the time to take some stupid risks and see what happens. Now he knows it doesn't fly in an NFL game
But that in essence is who Josh Allen is , a gunslinger who doesn't like to let plays die. I expect he will do that again in his career
So did Favre
I hope in November we're seeing more Favre, and less Cutler.

I watched the Music City Miracle game in full last night on the NFL Network for the first time in 20 years. It changed my opinion on the game.

I agree Titans were better team, but that doesn't mean they deserved to win. If that's the case, Bills should have beaten Giants in our first SB. I think if we'd played them 10 times, we'd won 9.
