I can’t wait. I’ve already told my boss i need some private time from 10-10.20am tomorrow. I’ll be smiling all day. CANT WAIT!! I love Joe and Evan. I live on Long Island, and am surrounded by terrible Jest fans. Just awful people really. Tomorrow will be wonderful. After the Patriots demolished them, they were angry, but they had hope for Darnold. Not anymore. GLORIOUS!!!

Ego. Plain and simple. And not in a bad way either. They’re the best ever, together. Without them together, the ENTIRE league changes. Who fills the void? Is there a void? All of it rests on Brady’s shoulders. He seems like the kind of guy who is always looking to improve. No better way than to make even more history.

I had a similar thought. This game reminded me of games past where the Bills would show some potential, and then second half adjustments by Belichick, would turn the game around. I can see a tremendous amount of potential for this team, I’m not sure how they get to the next level. It sounds as if getting chewed out at halftime made a difference. Maybe this team needs an edge player. Someone who fits the process but has that crazy fueled fire inside of them, that gets everyone ready to fight on every series. It’s not to say that they aren’t motivated, but they need something extra.

I forced my son to wear his Bills hoodie, even though he was sweating from wrestling my other two kids. My wife told him “if you take that off and they lose, Daddy will never let you forget it.” She’s right, and he knew it.

No team is designed to play down to its competitors level. That being said, the issues on offense are attributable to a young QB learning how to find that delicate balance between making a play, and making a mistake. Some better weapons wouldn’t be terrible either. The defense is tremendous. And they play full speed for 4 quarters, which takes a huge amount of pressure off of Josh Allen. If Allen continues to produce and grow from week to week, so will his production.

Great write up as always Shaw. This defense is tremendous. They continue to dictate to the opposition what they can and can’t do. Bulk yards on 2 plays, that didn’t amount to anything. I agree with your confidence in the team. It’s foreign to me, and it doesn’t feel right, but it does feel good. I have concerns about the offense in the 3rd quarter. I’m not sure what happens during half time, but week after week the offense comes out flat, and seemingly let’s the opposing team a chance to take control of the game. But have no fear; The Defense is Here! I love this defense. I can’t stop saying it. Thanks again Shaw!

Oh man... that fake tough guy line is great

Hallelujah

It begins and ends with Aaron Maybin.

Losing exclusivity doesn’t mean that it’s a loss of service. If you’re a Direct Tv subscriber, you will still be able to get the ticket, so there would be no reason to quit the service. Unless it isn’t competitively priced with the market, then that’s on Direct TV. AT&T isn’t going to abandon the partnership with the NFL, they’re just going to lose the exclusive deal. This is clearly signaling a change in how it the NFL will be distributing its product after this deal ends. Im sure that this will be a sticking point after this next CBA.

Absolutely agree. Leading men is a difficult and almost impossible task at times. There’s a delicate balance between accountability and holding others accountable. Im genuinely curious which QB’s all time developed that skill set quickest, and how does it translate to championships. I’m not even sure i know who the great leaders have been?

That Lee Smith quote is fantastic. ”you ain’t a me guy when you do good, so don’t be a me guy when you ***** up.” incredible. Anyone that supports the Bills, but doesn’t love Josh Allen is nuts.

i think this is the best point made yet. Mayfield looks less than the hype. Darnold is out, and will probably suffer under Gase. Rosen is, well, Who knows. Yet here, the Bills “fans” have the best Qb of that class, and they’re not happy because he threw a bad INT. Its hard to believe. The talking points used to be “you have to beat the teams on your schedule”. For years this team couldn’t do that. Bills teams under Jauron, Williams, Gailey, Marrone, Rex, all would have lost this game. This team, this QB, doesn’t. So now the new adage is “you have to dominate the teams on your schedule because that’s what the Pats and Chiefs do”. When the Bills start to dominate, what will be next?

Because of the fumble? He extended two different drives on 3rd down, and made some solid runs. No no one cared about McCoy last week, but this week he puts up some numbers and now the sky is falling. His replacement scored the game winner today. ‘Nuff said.

The postgame show is awful, impossible to listen too. Geary makes a great point, and the guys that have the show before him should listen to it. This Bills team is good. It’s been a long time since i felt confident saying that. But this team is good. They make mistakes and they don’t get derailed. Josh Allen is the QB we have been waiting for. There is no question about that at all. Maybe some fans still believe that it’s Darnold, or Mayfield, or Mahomes, or maybe even Rosen... but that doesn’t matter. Josh Allen is our man, and week after week, he shows that he plays until the end, he overcomes his mistakes, and he leads the team. What more could anyone ask for? People who are asking for perfection, belong on the postgame show with those two clowns and their horrible takes on the team we love.

How many games is Kyler Murray going to win this year? He threw 43 passes for 178 yards today. There are certain stats that mean something. 300 passing yards is not one of them. (my bad, 173 yards and a loss)

Believe me if i could do my job from Buffalo, I’d be there tomorrow Thanks for the help everyone!

I don’t live in Buffalo anymore and my friend (who i was splitting Sunday Ticket with) has decided not to renew this season. I live in Long Island so I’ve been able to see the first two games, but now I’ve got nothing. Im exploring youtubetv and Hulu live, but I’m not sure if they will allow me to stream out of market games. The website seems to indicate that WIVB is available, but if it’s out of market will i be able to watch it still? Can i plug in a buffalo zip code and get the games that way? 20 years I’ve been waiting to watch good football and now this.

If they don’t buy into the system, then they wouldn’t make the team better. Being good isn’t enough for McBeane, you also have to be focused on the team as well. Neither of those guys were interested in that while here.

This made me laugh. I wonder how many of those people on here that were writing that, still believe that. Or if they will after #theotherjosh gets smoked in Miami

It won’t last. They will both want more money after next season. Ive said it in other threads. The real task now is building a franchise that is competitive for years and years.

Theres a T-shirt in here somewhere

Oh yeah. My father hated the announcers unless it was Paul McGuire. He hated Dan Dierdorf with a passion. The first time I ever heard someone say F-you, was my Father saying “Oh F- you, Dierdorf.” It was better for everyone with Van on the radio.

Hearing Paul McGuire’s voice brought me back to my parents family room. The sound of the crowd at Rich Stadium was deafening on the broadcast. I remember listening on the radio and the sound from the stereo was so loud, it used to drive my mother crazy. I have a feeling this years home opener is going to rekindle those old sounds. Great find OP!

This is and isn’t true. If if i have more options, that creates a demand for service. The market dictates the price and the service provided for the price. If the NFL makes $3 billion from DTV alone, then that’s the number that they need to keep making. As stated before, DTV will continue to pay that, maybe a little less to insure that their business continues. But if you add in a streaming service across multiple platforms, similar to HBO Go, then you are expanding your service, reaching new viewers, and increasing your revenue. It’s possible that under this scenario, DTV will not pay $3 billion for non-exclusive rights, maybe they pay $1.5 billion instead, but with an Amazon, Hulu, and gaming platform deal, you can easily make that up within the first season. The numbers are there, it’s a matter of user interface and platform stability that is preventing this from happening. And for the poster that mentioned Madden. That game hasn’t been good in over a decade. The current iteration has brought back old flaws in the gameplay engine that were engineered out. Why? No competition in the marketplace. You let another developer come up with an engine that won’t allow a LB to jump 37 feet into the air to intercept a pass, and i guarantee that game will sell just as many copies as Madden. And EA will be forced by the market to actually produce a good video game worthy of the NFL shield.
