Just ordered mine. I am sure it will get just as many dirty looks as my Bills Mask does at the local Publix here in Ft Lauderdale. Seriously though I have received more positive comments about my Bills mask than negative ones.

So if the Bills win the Super bowl Who will be the first to do some "colorful" editing to the official Super Bowl shirts and send one to Josh Allen

When Josh Allen was first drafted there were a lot of "We drafted the wrong Josh" cries .I watched a lot of the videos about his upbringing and commented "Josh Rosen may be the better quarterback right now, but Josh Allen is the better fit" on a few of these boards. Well, it turned out that not only is he the better fit, He has turned out to be the better Quarterback too. There were 2 of those videos. One sponsored by Hyundai and the other was by CBS. I thought at the time that his blue collar work ethic would fit well with Buffalo. He has far exceeded many of ours including my expectations in both ways. Is there any other QB from that draft class that we would rather have?

This is the most logical thing I have heard about this. Unlike the Pats last week they can not move the game to Monday unless they move Thursday's game to Sunday. Of course they could just make us play on Monday and Thursday and if we don't like it we can forfeit. Despite the fact that the Titans are the ones that broke the rules somehow the NFL will find a way to screw us on this

I just saw that, But I don't think Bears - Colts game will get the coverage that Pats _ Chiefs did. This moves Bills - Raiders as the premium game in that time slot. Most likely here in Florida we will get the bills game.

Does that mean the Bills - Raiders game is the only late game on CBS? The Pats - Chiefs game was scheduled for most of the country except Western and Central NY and Nevada and Southern California that had the Bills - Raiders

WooHoo! I don't have to stream it. Amazing though I can't pick up channel 7 in Miami with my HD antenna, but I can get 29 in West Palm. Looks like good coverage. Two 2-0 teams should be a good game

True. And McDermott has said, at the time they were not ready for a franchise Quarterback.Remember that was a McDermott / Whaley draft. Beane was not here yet. Mahomes joined what was a perfect situation for a rookie QB. Had he been drafted by the Bills at that time the results would probably been more Sam Darnold like or IR than the way Mahomes turned out

One does not get respect, one has to earn it. And he has certainly earned it

I hear there is a severe crow shortage in WNY. Back when Allen was drafted, I kind of kept quiet at first. I was not overly thrilled or upset with the pick. I expected them to pick Rosen.I started doing a little research and a few things stuck out. First raised on a farm. Anyone that knows a farmer knows that they are the hardest workers on the planet. Next was the path he took. Small High School star, no college offers at all busted his ass at Reedley College for a year before getting an offer from Wyoming where he started to show his potential. That blue collar mentality along with the "Chosen Rosen" being uncoachable, made me more comfortable with the long term expectations of the pick. Shortly after the pick, I commented here that While Rosen may have been the better Quarterback at the time, Allen was the better fit with this team and community. But as of now he has greatly exceeded my expectations. Lets see how he does against the Rams, but so far, so good

A T shirt or even better a mask. I would buy one especially if the proceeds went to Covid-19 relief funds. Living here in south Covida AKA Florida where we set Covid-19 death records almost daily, mask wearing in public is mandatory. I spend about 60 hours a week wearing one and I hate it, but understand the importance of it. So even if it wasn't mandatory I would wear it at work for the safety of others. Kudos to McDermott

It is actually a brilliant move. If another team wanted to hire him I believe it would have to be a promotion since league rules do not allow other teams to make a lateral hire from another team's staff. The only way we could lose him is if another team wanted him as head coach now

Sitting here in Fort Lauderdale, got the wings in the fryer a few ice cold Labatt's Blue and maybe a Sahlen's hot dog for later. I am ready!

Good for him. Wish him nothing but the best (except if they play the Bills) Despite his issues, which seem under control, he was a great player during both his stints here. Looks like he just needs the discipline of football to keep his head on straight.

I normally don't sign up for pay for news, but was intrigued enough to give it a try for $24. So far I like it. If I get one good article a month it is worth it for me. The renewal rate shows at $59.99 per year. I will decide next year if it is worth it.

A person that goes to the games dressed up as empty seats

I said right after he was drafted and many posters here were going bonkers that we did not draft Rosen " Right now Rosen may be the better quarterback, but Allen is the better fit" I think there was a quote from him when asked about playing in a small market and he responded that Buffalo would be the biggest city he ever lived in. Watching those videos over and over just reaffirms to me that we got the right Josh.

One thing that I noticed is once a team gives a quarterback the big contract, often, but not always his play regresses a bit. In some cases it is a "I got my money so I don't have to work as hard" mentality. In most of the cases it is that the big contract uses up so much cap space that the teams have to cut back on other positions (offensive line, receivers etc) I have seen many times when a QB, or any other position for that matter gets a huge payday the team does not play as well overall. I think one of the reasons for the Patriots long success with Brady is he has not been one of the top paid quarterbacks despite having by far the best resume. He takes less money so they can build the team around him.

I was at the game, My family had seasons tickets then. The only downside was I was in the restroom when the final touchdown was scored so I missed it. For what it is worth it sounded like a jet engine in the concourse so I knew something great happened

Either that or it was too cold for him on the sidelines.. Florida does that to you. Trust me I know.

Josh Allen said it would be loud there. You can hear a pin drop in that stadium

I am going to be in WNY that weekend and mentioned that even though it is a preseason game I was thinking of going. I have not been to a game there in over 20 years. Looking forward to seeing all the improvements at the Ralph, er… New Era. After I mentioned that I wanted to go to my family a bunch of them thought it would be fun, plus being a preseason game tickets were cheap on the NFL Ticket exchange, so 10 of us will be there I know it is only a preseason game, but being the 3rd should give a decent idea as to how the Bills will look this year. Plus it will be interesting to see the reception that Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd get

Anytime a northern team plays the fins in December the fan ratio will be 50-50 although at the end of last years game it was more like 70-30 Bills fans. A lot of folks from Buffalo come down for the game and stay for the week to enjoy the weather, not too many fins fans (they call them Dolfans down here) want to go to Buffalo in December The fins fan base is actually quite pathetic but a lot of them go to the stadium dressed as empty seats.

Did the ball touch the alley or did he just throw it straight at the pins?

Think about it. All of these are good points and related. He has been generally well behaved during his time with the bills. His team mates do vouch for him. All this craziness started after the season was over. Many people with emotional or mental issues can keep it in check if they have a daily regimen and support of peers (teammates) Once they no longer have that support group they can spiral out of control. maybe the contract situation helped trigger it I hold no ill will towards him. He has been a great player for the Bills during his time here (both times) and always gave 100%. I just hope he can get the help he needs before he hurts himself or someone else. By the way, I have an Incognito jersey that I wear just to piss off the local Dolphins fans. most of the fins fans hate him because of the bullying incident here and especially because he has performed so well for the Bills and always gave a little extra effort when the Bills played here
