If they come out of this game with multiple turf caused injuries, the NFL has a lot to answer for!
Turf don’t cause pec injuries. Just saying.

Bill O Brien had a funny story about Urschel when he (OB) was head coach at PSU and Urschel was a graduate student, using his final year of eligibility.
PSU had a huge whiteboard where they indicated a players practice status.
Name in green = full practice
Yellow = limited
Red = no practice
Orange = player was taking a class and would be late
One day OBrien sees Urschel's name in purple. He asks one of the staff-"Why the F is Urschel's name in purple? What the F does that mean? (OB was pretty foul-mouthed)"
Staff says, "oh, that means he's teaching a class".

This plane is HUGE. So I expect them to have the lounge bed chairs where they all just sleep.
Probably have an edible or two. Nyquil. Dream.
In all seriousness, an edible of 2 isnt a bad idea.
I had a friend who was special forces. When they would fly Lejeune to mideast, they'd all take a couple Ambien. Felt a little bit hungover upon arrival, but were wide awake shortly after landing.

I remember watching this pass. Josh is getting snowed under, and suddenly the ball emerges like it was shot out of a mortar.
That was truly an unbelievable throw.

Inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: what the future home of the Buffalo Bills could look like
When the Buffalo Bills take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday fans will get a glimpse at the stadium that has had the biggest influence on the new Bills stadium that is being built in Orchard Park.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in 2019 and was designed by Populous. It has become one of the top soccer venues in both the United Kingdom and the world.
In 2022, the Bills selected Populous as the designer of the team's new stadium. When the Bills selected Populous, the stadium development team traveled the globe to visit other venues built by their new partner for some inspiration. That group included John Polka and Frank Cravotta, the masterminds behind the new stadium, set to open in 2026.
Polka is the Vice President of Stadium Development and Cravotta is the Vice President of Stadium Design.
“I remember standing on the field for the very first time and saying, this is exactly what we’ve been talking about,” Polka said about his first trip to Tottenham.
“When we went there, about a year and a half ago, it was empty, so I’m really looking forward to what it feels and sounds like on Sunday,” Cravotta added.

I’m just hoping that the new stadium has an opening so it only snows on the visitor sidelines.

Yeah, that's the usual argument. No disrespect intended, but it's lazy thinking. Are Jeff Hostetler, Doug Williams, and Trent Dilfer also better than Marino because they each won a Super Bowl? You have to take into account all sorts of other factors, especially the quality of the team around the QB, but also the coaching, ownership, the era (e.g., PI penalties), and how many healthy years he played.
I'm not dissing Brady (although I despise his Marcia face), but having watched both him and Marino, there's no question, to me, that Marino was better. Put him on Brady's teams, let him play there until he was 45, and he would have won more championships.
You play. To win. The game.
Winning isn’t the only metric to use when evaluating QB, but it’s an important one.
QBs do more than throw the ball. Taking care of the ball, not taking sacks, calling audibles, making clutch plays, and leadership are all important factors when evaluating a QB. I’m thinking that Brady was better than Marino in all of these facets.
I used to think Bellichek was the best coach of all time. His record without Brady is making me reconsider that evaluation.

This is probably my favorite thing I heard this morning from some talking heads (and they are probably the 3 biggest Allen critics. Keyshawn, Irvin and Skip)
Tua, to them, is still the front runner for MVP because of how great "the miami offense" has been.
In the same breathe, they said that the game didn't lift Josh in the MVP talk because his receivers ran great routes to get open.
So the fact that Hill and Waddle can run a couple yards and make a quick catch and run by everyone makes Tua the favorite?
Josh Allen wins games by himself; the offense that Tua plays in make him look better than he is and the bills showed that yesterday.
As most have said, I don't really care too much about the league MVP but at the same time, I feel like when you make the same point as a positive for one player and a excuse for another, you're still hanging on to a bit of bias.
Coincidentally, those 3 are the dumbest NFL analysts around.

It helps to play until you're 57 or whatever he was.
I still maintain he wasn't the GOAT. That title belongs to Marino or Manning, both of whom would have done more than Brady playing that many years with the talent he had around him, to say nothing about the cheesecake division he played in most his career (especially the Bills).
It’s stunning to think that Marino, with zero NFL championships is a better QB than Brady. Who had 6.
Was Marino a better passer than Brady? Maybe. Probably not.
But a better QB? Nope.

There is a reality show on Hulu title "Welcome to Wrexham". Movie/TV stars Rob McIlheny and Ryan Reynolds buy a division 5 Wales futbol team. Its pretty good.
Season 2 starts with Rob McIlheney complaining that his favorite teams always finish 2nd. First loser.
The episode ends with a description of two well known first losers. Susan Lucci and the Bills.
The final scene is of Susan Lucci breaking the curse and winning an Emmy.
I'm taking this as an omen....

I’ve not studied this, so take it for what it’s worth.
Some individuals have shorter Achilles tendons, and are thus prone to rupture. I’ve had 3 friends in their 30-40s who have ruptured Achilles tendons. All describe a popping, shot in the heel feeling during a jumping or acceleration from a stop (tennis, hoops).
Im cure these guys stretch well before games and halves, but maybe not enough between or within series?

If the PA or league care about players AT ALL they wl mandate grass.
It's downright negligent at this point.
Type of turf has nothing to do with Achilles tendon injuries.
Achilles injuries aren’t caused by a shoe or foot sticking in turf.
Achilles tears are caused by stress on the tendon during explosive movements. Sudden jumps or acceleration.-

Anyone else think that Diggs never pits his mouth guard in just so it flys around and distracts defenders?

No. Wrong call.

Anyone missing our elite gunner this year?
Having so many ST only players really hurts your game days options.

Wrap up dude

Everyone see the Dolphins guy slap the ball out of Diggs hand well after the TD?
that’s a penalty. Unsportsmanlike.
It’s fine to not call tricky tack stuff, but I hope they’re consistent.

Maybe Drew will be more appreciative.
I heard Drew Bledsoe interviewed on the radio about 5 yrs ago. Seems like a bright and successful guy. Owned a winery that was selling $100 bottles of wine.
Doesn’t seem to be the type to complain about a free suite.
I guess we’ll see.

Why couldn’t he be down on the field? That’s where he should’ve been on the sideline
Call me crazy, but I’m betting that he could have been on the sidelines if he asked.
I don’t know. A dude who’s received millions of dollars from the Bills gets a free luxury suite.
And he’s whining on social media about it?
To me, a long time Bills fan, Spikes isn’t a legend. He’s one of hundreds of mercenaries who has played for a losing Bills team.
Just like Kelvin Benjamin, Tim Tuel, etc.

Anyone know what Milano did to get the unpotrsmanlike call? From replay, it looked like Milano gave the Jets player a mean stare. Did he also call him a mean name?

The cover two can still get beat on a deep ball.
By a speedy RB on a wheel route. Cool had a TD if Josh would have lifted that pass a touch more.
