We need something to replace the Hopkins thread. Might as well be a Barkley one.

With the lease at MetLife both teams can opt out after 15 years. Then they can opt out every 5 years after that. The Giants have no desire to leave NJ, but it is well known that Johnson would love to go back to NY. He did try to have a stadium built in Manhattan a few years back.

But what about wide right.

I agree I don't get it either. Some fans care. If you went to a Jets or Giants game at MetLife, you would see its split between NY and NJ license plates on the vehicles. A large portion of the Jets season ticket holders still come from Long Island.

Same here. But this year I will be rooting for Dallas to win 3 games.

I doubt he will, and he said he wants to retire a Giant, but he is clearly unhappy with the lack of progress on a new contract. The Daily News also reported this in today's paper. That Sports Guy on Twitter: "This feels very much like the Le’Veon Bell situation with the Steelers in 2018. Giants were willing to make Saquon Barkley the highest paid RB in football. Saquon turns it down, believing he’s worth more, and is kicking around the idea of sitting out" / Twitter

There are some fans in NJ who complain about both teams having NY in their name. They want them to change it to NJJ and NJG which neither team will do. The NY brand name sells. NJ not so much.

If I had to pick an NFC team it would be SF. Always liked them going back to the days of Montana, Clark and "The Catch" against Dallas.

There is a bar near me called Duffy's in Paterson, NJ. They have a strong Bills following. More Bills fans go here to watch the games then Jets or Giants fans. Which is odd since we are talking Northern NJ which is Jets/Giants territory. The place is packed when the Bills are playing.

If they can beat the Jets at MetLife, then the Bills have a great chance to get off to a fantastic start. After the Jets game the Bills will be favored and should win every game before a really tough one on Nov 5th at Cincinnati. The Dolphins will be tough but that one is at home so the Bills will be favored. I know the Bills lose games to teams they should beat as they do that every year. But if they start 1-0, they will be favored in every game until the Bengals game. Most of the teams during this stretch really aren't anything special. at Jets Raiders at Commanders Dolphins Giants at Patriots Bucs at Bengals on Nov 5th

Mary Kay Cabot on Twitter: "Updated: Deshaun Watson still wants DeAndre Hopkins, but it's a longshot for now. No FA visit to the #Browns is scheduled, and they're not looking to add a big-name receiver https://t.co/DhqSJEG7eF" / Twitter

If injuries don't play a factor, then the Pats will finish last in the division. The Bills, Jets, Dolphins are better teams.

The only one who is better than Josh right now is Mahomes. Maybe you can make a case for Burrow, but I think Allen is the better overall athlete. Herbert, Lawrence, Hurts are all up there but I don't think any of them are better than Allen.

I hope you are right. It's only June and the NYC media hype on them is annoying already.

Unless injuries hit, they are a lock to win the division but as far as the #1 seed that remains to be seen. KC always seems to find a way to get it. Teams like the Bills and Bengals are in very tough divisions and will probably have to many losses to get the #1 seed. The North especially is a bloodbath as all 4 teams hate each other making for some great rivalries.

With the hip injury he suffered at Alabama plus the concussions last year I don't see Tua playing a full season. He just can't stay healthy. Mike White is a decent backup but if he has to be the guy, I don't see them winning the division from the Bills.

I hope you are right. Didn't Rodgers play with a broken finger last year. He may not be in his prime, but he is a major upgrade over Wilson, White, and Flacco. Last year the Jets played the Bills tough in both games. That defense is legit. I think they were ranked #5 last year who did a good job against Allen and company.

Good job Cats. Now we have a series. Don't care who wins I just hope it can go 7.

Even if the Dolphins get Cook, I am still more concerned about the Jets. Rodgers and that defense will be the Bills biggest challenge in the division. But the Fins do have a good roster as well just that Tua isn't nearly as good as Rodgers.

Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell, and Fran Tarkenton with the call. The Bills fall behind big early but rally for a thrilling win.

The way he was going though I think he would have won OROY over Wilson. JD really hit a grand slam in that draft unfortunately.

Really that is surprising. It took them 3 years to build MetLife. They still had time for tours. You can have a virtual tour which is helpful but it's not even close to being there live. Bills fans deserve to be able to take a real tour in the stadium to get a feel for the place since the Bills will be asking for a lot of money from them.

I just don't see Tua staying healthy. For his sake I hope he can as you don't want to see anyone get hurt. From that hip injury he suffered at Alabama to the concussions last year I think it's only a matter of time before Mike White takes over.
