  1. If the Bills want to be a serious team they need to win this game
  2. This is definitely a scary game in that it could set off a 3 game losing streak
  3. Not coming back this week
  4. Penalties and turnovers is the story so far...
  5. Going to be a long streaky season
  6. These guys look like they could win 6.5 games this year ?. But seriously, they do look good AND they haven’t played anyone. It means something but not everything. Blah blah blah cliche. Could have a top 15 defense and a top 20 offense, might get interesting. IF we stay healthy and players progress, I think the bills go all in for a Super Bowl run next season. Will still be on Allen’s rookie contract etc. might be a fun season...
  7. Hopefully one year we will move past having good excuses to be bad and just be good instead ?.
  8. It’s the off-season, so of course the Bills are better ?. not to be Debbie downer, but this is part of the pattern for NFL teams and it’s by design. The team is trying to sell tickets. Everything is going in the right direction yet we’re projected to win 6.5 games. As a fan of football it’s hard to not be excited about the unknown, but if I’ve learned anything from being a fan of the Bills, my expectations, which have historically been based on what is put forward by the front office and repeated by the press, rarely match reality when the season starts, e.g. the first two games of last season. It’s fun to talk about and excitement will continue to grow until the season, but my expectations for this season are 6.5 wins. I’ve moved to the “show me” stage of my fandom.
  9. Little trivia, although jules says he’s referencing the Bible, it’s a made up quote.
  10. This thread is making this more complicated than it needs to be. The op is betting $200 to win $270. The $200 dollar bet is the size of the wager. The $200 Bet doesn’t require money physically changing hands, it can be done through a credit system. If he loses, he then owes $220 (bet plus standard 10% vig*). If he wins, he is owed $270. *The vig is a “tax” charged to the loser of a wager. This is a fee the book chargers that acts as their source of revenue. You see, when you place a bet with a book you aren’t actually betting against the book but other gamblers. The book acts as the intermediator Ideally, a book will take equal action on a game, meaning equal dollar amount wagered on both teams. By doing this they guarantee themselves the revenue generated by the vig. If the money wagered on one team is more than the other, the book is essentially betting on the team with less money behind it because if the other team wins, the book has to cover the winning bets out of their own pocket. see? It’s simple ?
  11. Ditto. After the Atlanta/pats Super Bowl I decided not to watch another Super Bowl with the Patriots. Not healthy for me.
  12. Appreciation got overtaken by exhaustion about 5 years ago. It’s incredibly boring at this point
  13. At least they didn’t do anything risky
