NI Bills Fan

Just for info... I had to use the VPN Bad Things ... and my Visa worked ok through it. Hopefully it works ok for you on second attempt.

A non-starter ... we've had to wait an age for 'our guy' ... he stays put. EDIT: Although the Kay Adams / Lauren Tannehill talk had me on the fence for a split second!

Finally managed to donate... it took the install of a VPN client on my phone as the site doesnt accept connections from outside the US and Canada. Thanks for the VPN advice 'Hapless Bills Fan'🍺 Up to $303.322 now... stunning! Nothing can replace a lost family member, but my goodness what a way to honour her memory and make a real, positive impact on the lives of iim sure hundreds of children who need help. Amazing. RIP Patricia Allen and Go Bills.

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I thought I was going insane! I'll look into other methods then, tomorrow. I've ruled out walking and swimming over.

Also a fair point.

I can see the benefit of it, although I can see posters finding it inconvenient to post opinion/reaction to a game in the post game thread, to then have to come out of that thread and into another one to post a cool article they saw.

I've been trying the link at the top of the page all day today with no luck from a range of different devices/networks. Can any of the other UK based posters confirm if they have been able to donate? I'm starting to wonder if there is some geotagging security on the website. Cheers in advance.

My guess for top spot (havent checked) would be Jakeem Grant from Miami, think he might have taken 2 back for TDs. EDIT: Just checked ... Grant has taken 1 back for a TD and is nowhere near the top of the list! reference ... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2020/returns.htm

I've tried from a few different devices/browsers now and the site is unresponsive. Have we broken it?! I'll happily donate when the site loads ... it's these types of gestures from a truly unbelievable group of fans that tie Bills players to the city, and the team, for life. R.I.P Josh's gran.

Murray's mobility and elusiveness concerns me in this one, not for huge gains but in terms converting 3rd downs and maintaining drives, he really excels there. We’ll miss Milano again and from memory it was Shaq Lawson who got a lot of the credit when the D were able to contain Lamar Jackson last season. Does the current D-Line personnel posses the required attributes to contain Murray? With that said, I do think we can win this game, albeit a close high scoring one, and after last night I can barely wait until Sunday already. Also wanted to mention that Daboll deserves a lot of credit for the work he's put in this offseason in the gym!

Great win... absolutely loved that! Hope the injuries arent too severe, especially White's. And what about Klein?! Big response from him. Go Bills!

Love that start. Great return and Josh is settled in.

Damn! Arrived 45 minutes too late to say he's never really recovered from that core injury!

I listen to Joe Marino's pod every weekday morning, it drops just in time for my morning work commute. As a fan from across the pond, I feel much more informed these days having listened to it regularly. Like someone else mentioned above... he's really polished and could well end up doing something bigger/national someday.

I'm as optimistic as they come... ...but I think Bass is a bust.

Fair enough 😀 I'm actually a Knox fan and really hope he comes good... he's got everything going for him and just needs a decent run of luck. Just couldn't resist the joke... it was screaming to be typed!

Proves he can catch something!

I would agree regarding Jordan Phillips. I can remember at least 3 of his sacks where he wasnt engaged by the OL at all and he walked straight onto the QB.

Apologies if it's already been mentioned on this thread, but i'm not hearing much about the supposed 'upgrade' in DL coach in Eric Washington in relation to the poor performance of the DL this season. I'm not close enough/knowledgable enough to accuratley compare him with his predecessor, but all the talk in the off season was this was a huge upgrade. From what I read/hear on the DL there doesnt seem to be much scrutiny on Washington's impact and the blame seems to lie solely with Frazier/the players.

I often think to myself how nice it would be to walk past someone and say that... and have it said back to me with a knowing nod and a bit of a fist bump threw in for good measure. Sadly... it is extremely unlikely to happen unless I jump on a plane! Although shout out to poster 'Dont stop Billieving' who I learned last week resides a half hour away... so maybe that changes soon. Anyway... Go Bills!

Portadown isnt really that nice if we're being honest... but thanks for saying as much anyway 😀 we like it. The Ireland based guys are in danger of derailing this thread so I'll keep this as brief as possible... my Bills fandom began in 1990 when I was 11. I knew little about the sport at all until a friend bought Madden 90 for his sega megadrive. We were hooked...I liked the Bills colours (plus you couldn't stop Thirman Thomas) and ended up loving the game... which got me interested in the real thing. Of course 4 traumatic superbowl experiences followed and the mental scars still exist now but sure I'm alive and things are looking up again! You mention converting your workmates to the Bill's... this recent form and Josh Allen's performances is having that effect. I have a Vikings supporter mate who told me last week he is firmly on the Bills bandwagon for this season at least. Once I'm working in Belfast again I'll maybe drop you a message. Cant think of any bars in Belfast off hand that show games on a Sunday evening, but I'm sure there's a few.

I'm Northern Ireland born and bred myself. Live in Portadown, half an hour up the road from Belfast. I work in Belfast on occasion. It's good to know there's at least 1 more Bills fan on this stretch of land. It's mostly 49ers, Raiders, Cowboys and (spit) Patriots it would seem.

Me too bud (Northern Ireland). Still have to get up early and bring the kids to school though.

Completely irrelevant to the footballl, but i must admit i couldnt get this post out of my head whilst out walking the dog there! 3 beers in almost 12 (TWELVE!) hours prior to kick off? I like a good drink as much as the next man but there's no way i'm watching a game 12 hours into a days drinking. Are you planning a power nap later on for a recharge? If not - fair play to you. I'll maybe need to re-evaluate my man status.

Is the Tyler Kroft interception agains the Rams 1 of those 4 INTs? If so, i would wipe that off. You beat me to it! Just.
