If we got either Shenault or Higgins I would be extremely excited.

I had two but I’m roughing it out.

I swear to god if they don’t shut the f*ck up about JJ Watt...

TJ and JJ were “wrestling” to prep. That’s what they call it I guess.

Lol right? Someone should let JJ, TJ and whatever other ****ing Js they have what the score is.

I’m in Arizona this week so wings are likely not the best option. Going to find the best Mexican I can and will pack myself to capacity.

One other option if you already have a Roku is Sling...forget which option/plan has ESPN but it isn’t too pricy and honestly is a pretty good option for other programming too.

What are we all eating today?

I think one omission to this thread as far as traditions go - supporting the team no matter what, through thick & thin. A lot of teams claim to have the best fans, the toughest place to play, etc. but I would but Bills fans up against any of them especially long term. Watch how quiet Gillette becomes once Brady and Belichick are gone. The Ralph? Not so much.

I'm right there with you minus the look of death from the wife lol. Ed's dance was great but I loved Jordan Phillips air drums then head banging and Jerry's air guitar was fantastic too.

Before my own contribution to this topic, I just have to say - how freaking great is it that we're even having a discussion like this as Bills fans? I started following football right around when the drought started so to have a team that is both playing well and extremely likable top to bottom...man this almost feels weird but I love it. Anyway I like a lot of the suggestions so far and I think anything with good riff that the crowd can easily get into all at once would be pretty great. I'm not a fan of Kiss in general but I love God of Thunder...

You get both a +1 and a -1...+1 for being a Bills fans and enjoying their new found success...-1 for making me feel old as f***.

Slightly off topic but still Phillips related. Did anyone catch his PFF position rank during the defensive intro? It was something like 100th...how the heck is that possible?

I feel like some commenters might be confusing pro bowl with all pro. The only possible all pro on the team is Tre and I think he has legit shot because the all pro team tends to be based on production and not just name recognition. Pro bowl is another thing entirely and I think Phillips and Smoke have a legit shot.

I was getting pretty tired of the TJ Watt talk. I will certainly acknowledge that he's a great player having a great season but calm down a little bit. I despise JJ Watt though so maybe I'm a little bit biased.

I'm pretty convinced that if his name was just Jeff & he had no nickname we wouldn't have heard nearly as much praise...but I guess it's good TV to say duck? ?‍♂️

Absolutely. I think with a good o-line, you can plug in just about any running back in a system and have some success but back like Edwards-Helaire are special because you can line them up wide or just routes out of the backfield all game...think Sproles, Kamara, James White, etc.

Even though he's similar in size to Singletary, I would absolutely LOVE to have Edwards-Helaire in a Bills jersey next year. He just seems like he could be an absolute matchup nightmare if he's used right at the next level.

I'm not at all an Alabama fan but I feel awful for him & hope he can make a full recovery. I don't follow the Tide closely but everything I've seen tells me he's a really good kid and he's obviously a great talent.

Hey, the president does this pretty much everyday so why can't athletes?

Excellent point.

This topic really validates something I already knew - I hate the f*cking internet.

That's part of the reaction to this and plenty of other similar topics that's astonishing to me but it really shouldn't be. The whole argument that the writers are crybabies and should just shut up and do what they are told is pathetic to me. Is that really how those that believe that sort of things live their lives?

No, you're wrong again. Deadspin was not sold - all of the former Gawker sites were sold. First because of the Hulk Hogan/Peter Thiel lawsuit and then because Univision mismanaged things badly. There isn't a singe analytic to support to notion that it was failing. Their "non-sports" stories were less than 5% of the content that was strictly on Deadspin and those stories got better traffic than the strictly sports stories. To say that they pivoted seems bizarre to me because it has never been a site strictly dedicated to sports. Magary is still one of the best reads on the internet and he has covered non-sports topics for years. Because writers of a particular website subscribe to politics that you don't agree with - and that's clearly the case - doesn't mean they failed. It means the content just isn't for you and for plenty of others and there's nothing wrong with that. If you don't like it, go ahead and go elsewhere but there are millions of readers that will miss it a great deal because of how it stood out from other boring & stale sites. Bottom line is that it's dead because a moronic CEO came in, got rid of people to install his own "talent", tried to impose his will for some reason and didn't think the staff would stand up to his idiocy. Well they did & even though the domain still exists and there have been some posts here & there - it's dead.

No, that's actually exactly why it was successful. It died because the owners told them to stop doing what made Deadspin popular for those that visited Deadspin & the writing talent said no and left. Maybe you didn't like Deadspin and that's fine but by any metric is was successful for a very long time. Taking over a website with a very large and loyal base and then asking them to change what they do is moronic.
