The Red King

These refs are terrible. Absolutely terrible.

That was the wrong time to get cute. >.<

Great game marred by a bad no-call. Let's be honest though, with Brady under center they still might have won even with the call. Dallas gave that game away. Two missed chip shots that amounted to four lost points. Squandered opportunities on offense. Tampa showed me they're good, but not invincible. If Buffalo brings their 'A' game, they can beat them.

My reply still stands. If Miami chose white, we'd go blue, just like if we chose white at home, Miami would have to go aqua. Dallas used to do this too, iirc.

Home team pics their unis. If the home team pics white, Buffalo would have to wear blue.

That shade of metallic blue is horrible. I do wonder what the normal logo would look like in metallics though.

I'm not sure I'd even want this, but it was floating in my head. With the look of all-white unis, now with white face-masks looking so good, what if Buffalo defaulted to them as their main uni, even for home games, as some teams have in the past (Miami being one, if my aging memory is still working). Again, not even sure I'd want this, but figure it might be fun to see what others think. I do think the all-whites are pretty sharp.

Will they stay aggressive though? By the end of last season I saw a well-developed meat grinder, one that absolutely mulched a playoff-hopeful Dolphins team on Week 17. That killer attitude seemed to fade the next week. This was no longer a team administering wedgies and taking lunch money. They seemed nervous, cautious, and that persisted. We all remembered McD going for field goals in the Championship game when we desperately needed TDs. It was the same when the Bills played the Chiefs earlier in the season. They went from playing all-out, damn the risks, we're going to beat you down football and instead played to just keep pace and try and squeak out a win at the end. All-out war is this team's strength. I want to see the no-fear, impose their will on others attitude that was on display the end of the season.

Josh, here's a tip...*shut...up*!!! Be humble and appreciate you have (had) an opportunity. You are in no position to B word and moan. >.<

People don't like being wrong. Some people have dug in on their opinions on draft picks and resent any suggestion they might be wrong. Hell a few people still grouse about Allen. If you say something nice about our prospects, expect blowback from people who are already commited to them being mistakes. If I can make a suggestion to the OP, the only part of your post I'd say was a bit much was the suggestion that McD has to be happy, as it's been rightly pointed out that while you can evaluate, it's way too early to come to conclusions.

A game that plays well into 'screw your neighbor'. Short form, you build cities, and roads because your cities can't be too close. You try to build on different tiles to get different resources. And screw other players by getting to sweet spots and slapping down a city before they can, seeing the pain and misery on their faces over the time and resources they wasted on roads and...*ahem*...anyway... Also, Catan Jr. is a wonderful game for kids. It's a streamlined (not dummed down) version of the original game...with pirates!

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31906170/buffalo-bills-wr-cole-beasley-says-nfl-vaccine-gripe-differing-standards-wants-players-proper-information ...he really sounds like he thinks he's a martyr/crusader over all this. I'm actually starting to worry if he's going to be focused on football at this rate. >.<

Let's not become Patriots fans, guys. Let me explain. The Bills were once the powerhouse of the AFC East, and the lowly Pats were the trash. Always in the basement. I felt bad for their fans. Then Brady stepped up just as the Bills were fading. Then came the arrogant Pats fans, talking not only like they were great, but that they were always great, forgetting they were just in our position. Now it's our turn. The Jets have taken our place. Let's stay classy. 😉

We always complain about being underrated. They got us pegged right IMHO. Pass rush remains a concern and KC shredded us. TB12 is a god when he's not pressured. Third seems right. And yet, even with the Bills pegged right, we seem to find things to complain about. Can we not just be happy, or failing that, content?

...which will get this locked. Hard or not if you don't stick to just discussing his behavior, the mods will shut this down. Just like people are asking Beasley to respect NFL rules and work inside them, I'm asking you to do the same for TBD rules.

To be clear... This has nothing to do with Beasley's stance on vaccination. It has to do with him stirring up trouble on Twitter. The NFL is an employer. They and the Player's Association agreed on protocols for vaccinated and non-vaccinated players. Beasley doesn't want to follow non-vaxxed protocol and is complaining loudly on social media. That is what people have an issue with. Don't discuss vax vs. no vax. That's not the point and will get this locked. This is not about his choice to stay unvaxxed. It's about his very public behavior railing against the protocol. Stay on topic, please.

Three? 🤔

Close to a deal, and yet...

May be early, but could be fun to try and predict. Thoughts? Me, I'll predict 13-4. Unlike past years, I'm not predicting each game, just more going abstract. I'm being cautious/conservative with KC, Tampa and the Titans. While I think they can beat any of them, Buffalo struggled with elite QBs. Mahomes ripped them, I think Brady can too. As for Tenn, they ate Buffalo's lunch last year. Going to be careful and pick them going 1-2 there. I can see Buffalo going 6-0 in the division again, but that's a tough feat. The East will be tougher, and division games are...well, how many times did the upstart Dolphins trip up the Pats? I see an upset somewhere. No idea where. So, 5-1 there. So, 6-3 to this point. I think the Bills can win the other eight, so 14-3 is possible, but I suspect they're going to falter once. Whether they just come out playing like dog poo...or the opponent just catches fire and plays like an all-star squad for one week, or both, I see one more loss. So, I predict 13-4. What say you?

"Voice of the Eagles Merrill Reese: the word is Bills are close to finalizing deal with Zach Ertz."

Close to a deal, huh? For days now? I guess it's like the arrow paradox. That to reach a target, an arrow must first travel half the distance between. In doing so it never reaches the target because it always has to first close half the gap. Are we now looking at the Ertz Trade Paradox? 🤔

Not true. Aside from the rotating AFC division, we also play the two teams in the other AFC divisions that finished in the same place we did. It's why we're playing Pitt and KC again this season.

Honestly, I noticed this and it was the biggest negative I had about the schedule but c'mon...you gotta admit the schedule-makers were kind to us overall. I mean, long rest before NE? Bye week right after the Titans/Chiefs meat grinder? Though...kinda odd how the Chiefs and Titans are out of division games yet we get them back to back again, in the same order as last year. It's like we're being setup to repeat and redeem that two week stretch from last season.
