  1. I was so hyped after our comeback win today...like when can you honestly remember the last time the Bills were down in a meaningful game in the 4th Qtr...& you didn't feel like we were out of it?!?!  

     

    Well that high just dropped after watching The Sith Lords of New England just destroyed the Steelers! It's not even Vader himself aka Brady... nor Darth Sidious aka Belicheat.  But that defense...that young defense from 2 years ago...has gelled pretty well...man. Gilmore just shut down JuJu like he was one of the top WR's last year

     

    Everytime I feel like we took a step...here comes frickin avocado ice cream eating Brady looking better then ever...like he's not 42!! Smh when will it end??  I'm not feeling good about our chances in week 4...even if we're 3-0 heading into that game, with the momentum. ???

     

    Thoughts?

  2. Hey So the NFL SUNDAY TICKET WILL NOT BE EFFECTED WITH THE CBS DISPUTE!

     

    For people out of ANY AFC local city...we'll be able to watch all AFC games broadcast on CBS through the ticket. Just no locals...meaning ... if you like in Philly or Minnesota for example & CBS decides that the Bills VS Bengals is their local game...it will be blacked out on the ticket & you won't be able to view it on your CBS local channel using Direct TV.

     

    But I literally only have 1 direct tv box for the ticket & Fios as my main cable tv company...??

    I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't count towards the PS number. It's something special to do with that international program.

    I'd rather put McKenzie out there. He probably gets just as much separation, and even if he only caught the ball 50% of the time it would be an improvement. I think Duke pushes Ray Ray out, so maybe him.

    PS number?? Please clarify I have no clue what this abbreviation mean

    Josh is looking a lot like Jay Cutler but our guy appears to have more leadership skills.  I was always amazed that Jay could zip it all over the field with nothing to show for it.  During his 2nd season, I'd like to see Josh look more like Brett Favre than Jay.  Can he do it??

    Jay Cutler?? That would be sad... ?

    If you live in Philly then Bills games aren’t going to show on your local CBS station anyway (unless we play the Eagles).

     

     

    But we're talking about Direct TV & they're CBS dispute.  Again, I have the ticket... so I can live in Bangkok & it doesn't matter. My point was hopefully direct get it together soon because not having CBS will not only effect NFL fans across the country, but the Bills Backer bars that uses The NFL Ticket. The Ticket is the only way to watch games outside of Buffalo.

    I'd imagine Sunday ticket will still have the bills game showing, going off assumptions that Sunday tickets contract is with the NFL not cbs (or even fox) to show the games

    See I was thinking this... but this point would apply to other sources...like Fios, comcast, ect. Locally CBS will still air the NFL games... but because CBS & Direct is in a dispute...Direct won't be airing games on CBS. 

     

    Again...which sucks for people outside of they're favorite teams area code. That means if you have Direct & your a Chiefs fan living in Arizona...you can't watch your Chiefs play. That sucks so hard!

    You're not supposed to watch Bills games in Philly. You live in Philly, you're supposed to watch the Eagles. For the ones complaining about the game being blacked out, IMO its the NFL's way of getting back at the fans for getting rid of the local blackouts. Preseason games are a regional broadcast shown for the fans who live in the region. For the ones who don't live in WNY, maybe you should have left.  

     

    You can't dictate people living situations...come on dude... that's not right ?  

     

    That's like you living in Buffalo & me telling you...your not suppose to watch Eagles games because you live in Buffalo.  That's just flat out wrong...

    Sounds like you’re better off taking your business somewhere else.

    I'm with the other guy... you can't take your business elsewhere when they have the only thing your trying to pay for.

     

    I only use direct for the Ticket...then I suspend my account for 7 months... then pick it back up during September. 

     

    I might blast off on them if they tell me "Direct still doesn't have CBS..." cause where in the World do you watch a Bills game in Philly?!?!?

    I'm venting here, I need to get it all out because my wife doesnt seem to understand. 

     

    Last night, like all of us, I was looking forward to watching the bills. I have not had CBS since the beginning of July and not had ABC since June. I was plenty aware the bills games would be on CBS. First thing I did was bought 2 over the air antennas. One was a cheap 10 dollar one and the other a powered 75 dollar one (both indoor). Anyway, neither of those worked, so I bit the bullet and subscribed to YouTube TV which includes all local channels. As much as I hate paying for both directv and a streaming TV service, at least I'd be able to watch my bills. 

     

    Low and behold, YouTube had the bills game blocked on CBS last night and directv has no CBS where I live. I tried in a fit of rage to get my antenna working but no luck. I called directv and lost my mind on them. After that I attempted to watch the game via the bills app, but the stream was sketchy at best. Very pixalated and constantly cutting out. 

     

    I called directv back again (to see if there was a way I could watch ppv) and the woman told me that CBS and directv agreed to a deal and I should have cbs (which I didnt). She then transfers me to tech support who tells me that CBS DID reach a deal, just not where I live. I'm almost to the point of getting spectrum, and paying for both services. Only reason I won't cancel directv is the Sunday Ticket. I can't be the only one in this boat? 

    So question... I'm also using direct tv for the Sunday Ticket...if they don't have CBS, how will that effect the ticket??? 

     

    In other words...will the Ticket have CBS games???  I'm in philly & it's either my house or the Bills Backer Bar... but we both use Direct Tv...

    Do I really have to scroll through 500 messages or can we please have 2 threads (gasp) on the same game.

     

    For those of us who couldnt see the game and would love to know how we did overall in 3 minutes or less, this would be greatly appreciated.

    Who flashed?  Is Zay OK.   Ed?  Murphy?  Did we put any pressure on them with that killer Oline they have?   Josh?

     

    These stupid networks in Rochester on Directv you can't get anything, even if you wanna pay extra.  HELP

    Right!??? Nobody is scrolling through numerous of pages to limit one thread ?

    Just closely watched these highlights. The guy is arguably a more complete receiver than anyone coming out of college this year. He has speed (why did he run only a 4.72 at the combine?), separation, elevation, ability to catch in traffic and is elusive enough to rack up YAC. Almost every throw he catches at its highest point (except for the one where he was unsighted and it hits his helmet - he still comes up with it). Enjoy!! Very Very underrated signing by the Bills - could have a shot at our #1 if he has really matured from his college days.

    Report from a Vancouver reporter who watched him all year. 8-10 teams wanted him - but he chose Buffalo for the fit. Highlights fit with josh Allen due to catch radius and high pointing the catch.

     

    Coaches from CFL lauded his humility, focus hard work etc.

    When you live in a world where our GM doesn't value any of the WR's in this draft class... then this is how low we have to stoop. Until he proves it... I just can't get my Hope's up

    I would expect RB to be a need going into next off-season no matter what.  You have 2 guys in Shady and Gore that will make this team and will be most likely done after this season.  

     

    That would leave only Yeldon left - now add Singletary and you have 2 - they will need additional help next year, but they will have had an entire year to see exactly what they have in Singletary and what they need to further address the position.

     

    Additionally, Singletary has a lot of wear on the body and this year will allow some time to recover - while still getting to know what he can do.  He will not be the primary back and may be deactivated some weeks as he learns, but this pick was not necessarily about 2019, but looking at value on their board and 2020 as a goal.

    I said the same thing... RB will most likely be a need next offseason. But we'll see about the wear & tear on Singletary.  If he ends up being great, it won't matter... the great one's don't breakdown when used alot...

    Not all teams have a legit #1 WR because they are hard to come by. If the Bills thought that Johnson could be that guy, they would have picked him already. 

    Not nitpicking...but these are the same people that was high on Kelvin Benjamin, Brought in Anquan Boldin, chose to start Andre Holmes & Trade Sammy Watkins, Drafted Ray Ray McCloud & Austin Prohel like they would make an impact. 

     

    Maybe WR isn't they're strong suit... #ImJusSayin 

     

    So yea, I wouldn't say "if the Bills thought he was a #1 WR they would have picked him already."

    Do you guys really think it's realistic that a 6th or 7th round pick is going to turn into a reliable, 1000+ yard per season  #1 WR?

     

    I don't think we fans really have a clue who will or won't turn into even a capable NFL player at this point in the draft.

    Even for guys who get paid to do this, the odds of success at this point in the draft are 5 or 10% (depending upon what you count as success - and that's not "becomes star" just "makes the team/active on game day/sees the field"

    Depends on the player & the team taking a chance on them... Steve Smith, AB, Heck Stevie Johnson all develop into #1 WR's 

     

    I was just being open minded about it.
