If we had known any of this from our vantage in the stands, I think some people would have heart attacks. Legitimately. It was bonkers enough as is.

I mean, Oliver ripped the ball away from the ideal, prototype, game-icing RB in the 4th quarter. So...

Proud of you. (Proud of both of us.)

But Ed Oliver, though... Saw Dorian Williams out there a bunch, didn't we? Difficult to keep up in the stadium. Feel like he made a play in the 4th quarter.

Feel to anyone else like NOT playing in the preseason hurt the Bills early on tonight? Coaches AND players tbh.

As for #2, I can understand the logistical argument for an early departure, and it REALLY felt bleak at the point you mention....HOWEVER....I am no effing quitter. I'd rather feel the full brunt of a home loss. I thought the Ravens were MUCH better prepared to try to WIN a game tonight until...they weren't. And I was there to absolutely go insane with the people around me who stayed.

Never had more fun leaving a game (AFTER IT ENDED!!!) in my life, and I've been to a bunch. Who needs a high-five?

Franklin will be active and Jackson will be inactive, imho. Just signed Franklin to the 53 and why would they need to do that if he's not going to play STs? Unless another team was looking to poach him so the Bills had to sign him or lose him? Either way, he offers more value on the gameday roster than Jackson does right now.

Nah, would rather the players have that underdog mentality tbh

I expect Baltimore fans to be more visibly and audibly present Sunday night than Bills fans care to admit. Anticipating increased ST resales this year (to recoup for looming PSLs and to simply capitalize on market value in last year of venue and a marketable matchup). HATE that approach to being a STH, but can't completely blame someone for doing it. The AFCN and NFCN fanbases travel. We'll see it and hear it Sunday night.

I see the showers ending by nightfall, but will be cool and breezy for sure. Have to imagine we'll see that missing heat and mugginess for one or more of the September/October home games.

Do not worry for the squatting Chiefs fan who recycled a common refrain without any obvious wit or unique tone, and therefore caught some tame pushback. They deserve much worse than any treatment they will receive here.

Broadcasting rights are sold to highest bidders which are then sold back to us the ticket holders and cable and streaming subscribers at increasingly higher prices across increasingly disparate platforms, yet...the league has congressional anti-trust exceptions carved out while relying upon HUGE tax dollar investments to fund stadium projects that billionaire owners could otherwise just pay for, seeing as the vast majority of profit goes primarily to the top private stakeholders (team owners, athletic brands, telecom conglomerates, giant hospitality vendors, etc)... Sure, individual citizens are wrong for finding a way to watch that doesn't add yet another layer of unreturned investment. We've all already paid for this entertainment, many times over.

fer eating, silly

Is there still a way for a TBD member to get some kind of reservation (did that years ago), or nah? (Will ask on Fb I guess)

Aren't the Benford and White injuries more impactful? (than Coleman, as posited above)

I read the first sentence in your post while still thinking of my post above tbh. Reads funny that way. Also, agreed.

Rapp interpreted it live as cojones, whereas I think you correctly see it purely as self-preservation after that first taste of pain.

How much you wanna bet the stadium has a BUNCH of Baltimore fans in attendance Sunday night? This is one of those money makers for the STHs who go that route.

I mean, Batavia. Am I right?

Clearly this is rage bait. Tip of the cap

Says the guy from Rochester, I love it. More I-90 turf wars! Herkimer can get WRECKED

Absolutely turned around in Yahoo after registering for the Survival League. Never to be found again.

Neilsen, it's been reported (was it Parrino?) looks during practices to be the guy running the DL, the loudest voice in the room, over Marcus West who IS technically the DL coach again. I'm really hoping the influx of some more assertive, demanding, pedigreed coaching can get that talented DL bunch attacking in waves and working together to win the LOS. Let's hope he can revitalize Oliver and help Rousseau to finally take the next step as a pass rusher. Maybe he can maximize Sanders and Walker sooner rather than later, and maybe even develop Jackson into something down the line. Bless whatever we can get out of Bosa. He should at least flash a few times here and there, hopefully in a big moment. Who knows, maybe Hoecht goes all Lorenzo Alexander on it down the stretch and something is actually trending up on defense heading into the playoffs.
