Hopefully never.

Best wishes on a full and speedy recovery.

I hope I am wrong but I don't think they will have a choice. Hard to see fans at games this year. New Era holds 72,000 so even at 25% capacity that is still 18,000 people. Restaurants won't be allowed full capacity right away when people are allowed to eat inside so I can't see gatherings as large as a football crowd being allowed in the stadium even at a reduced capacity.

What about coaches for example? Belichick is 68. Andy Reid is 62 and fairly obese. They could be at high risk.

Yup. People forget that when Allen was drafted he was supposed to sit for a year as all of the "experts" thought he had the most upside but wasn't ready to start. The Bills screwed up the QB situation with Peterman/McCarron so badly that Allen was thrown out there with an offense that had very little talent. Last year Allen improved with experience and some better weapons Brown, Beasley, Singletary. This is the year (assuming we have one) where I think the Bills offense can now go out there and get "THAT SCORE". The one that puts a game away or rallies for a comeback win in a big spot on a more consistent basis. Plus with Allen in year 3 he should be much more comfortable running the offense. Diggs is a legit #1 which means Brown and Beasley slot in at the 2nd and 3rd spots so they should produce more not having to go up against the other teams top DB's. Combine that with Singletary and the Bills offense should do some damage now.

Rangers? I get the front-running with the Yankees and Giants with the success and championships. But the Rangers have been around 94 years and have only 4 Cups with only one Cup post expansion. Rangers really are a losing organization despite being a big market, original 6 team.

Gase is terrible but Woody and Chris Johnson are the real problem.

Can't Scientology beam him up to the mother ship where he can make his escape by playing intergalactic foosball with the Klingons.

If Allen and Darnold develop like both teams think they will then I could see the rivalry getting heated. Joe Douglas has to build a strong team around Darnold just like Beane has done for Allen with the Bills.

The 0 for 70's was painful. That is why I would say the 1980 season opening 17-7 over the Dolphins is the greatest regular season win in Bills history. What really made the Bills-Dolphins rivalry great was the Kelly-Marino years. Battling for the division and all the playoffs matchups made it one of the best rivalries in the NFL at the time.

I know these teams have issues off the field but as far as what happens on the field it isn't a rivalry. During the dynasty years the Pats viewed the division as three little speed bumps they drove over a combined six times a year. I mentioned this already but NE's top rivals during this time were the Colts, Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, Giants.

I don't think any AFC East team cracks NE's top 5 rivalry. Early on during the Pats dynasty it was probably the Colts and Ravens. Later on it became the Steelers and Broncos. NE always seem to play these teams in big regular season games as well as playoff games over the past 20 years. I would add the Giants just because of the 2 Super Bowls and they did ruin NE's bid for a perfect season.

The Jets really only have 4 rivals. Pats, Bills, Dolphins, and Giants. The Colts used to be a rival but that died when they left the division. The Raiders have their own rivalries going on with the Chiefs, Broncos, and Chargers. I don't think the Raiders or Jets consider themselves rivals. Even though I am a Bills fan I also happen to be a Jets season ticket holder ( I live in NJ) and their always seem to be a lot of fights between Bills and Jets fans at least in NJ. These fanbases don't like each other at all from what I see.

Speaking of the Jets it looks like Jamal Adams and the Jets could be headed for a divorce. If not I hope he holds out and misses week 1 assuming the season starts on time. He is one of their better players. https://nypost.com/2020/06/18/jamal-adams-maybe-its-time-to-move-on-from-jets/

I hope he is wrong about this. It sucked having the NHL playoffs get cancelled. It sucks that baseball hasn't started but football is on a different level for me. It's my favorite sport. If this gets cancelled it will be really depressing.

https://news.yahoo.com/football-may-not-happen-fauci-130650171.html My meaningless opinion is it gets delayed to a later start as a worst case scenario. To much $$$ to be made. Of course this has to(might) happen when the Bills are primed for a great season.

I went with the Hughes trade for the purposes of this poll but the best Bills trade that I remember was the 3-way trade between the Bills-Colts-Rams where the Bills got Bennett. That was a real game changer.

Happy Birthday #78.
