If the Pats finally have a bad year then the fans/media will ignore them and focus on the Sox, B's, and Celtics. That area isn't a great football market like WNY is.

This is why I think Josh will show great improvement this year. He has two years of experience now. Josh is probably (hopefully) at the point where the game is slowing down for him. That should make him more comfortable when he is in the pocket which should lead to better decision making in where to go with ball. If it does then the Bills will be right there with the Chiefs/Ravens in representing the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Year 3 for Allen, Darnold, Mayfield. I would say its put up or shut up time for all three. I do think Josh showed solid improvement from year 1 to year 2. He definitely needs to take another step. I mentioned this before but he should have sat and held a clipboard his rookie year and watched Peterman/McCarron. But since the Bills ****ed up their QB situation so bad at the time Allen got thrown out there in a sink or swim situation. To make matters worse the Bills were a bad team with a horrible offense. Considering where he started from I think Josh has done a good job. Hopefully he takes the next step to being a solid QB this year and quiets his critics.

I think the CS has done a great job. When McDermott came here it was 17 straight seasons without the playoffs. They have made it in 2 of the last 3 seasons as well as coming off a 10 win season. Sure their are things McDermott can improve on and he would probably tell you that but their is no reason they can't win it all at some point assuming Allen continues to improve.

No surprise here at all. I feel bad for the 2020 HOF class as that is always a special day for the inductees but it's obvious the ceremony wasn't happening.

You can distance yourself (somewhat) from people while tailgating. With many drinking beers and eating food it's obvious that people won't wear masks. Just make it mandatory to have people wear one if they want to get inside the stadium. Sitting with 72,000 inside New Era I would hope people would have the common sense to wear them. I realize that every fan base has their share of idiots. Security will have to enforce the mask wearing policy. Cuomo is a Bills fan so maybe he allows 72,000 inside New Era

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.
