Kincaid Kool-Aid

Ugh exactly my point before. Seattle should have gone for two last score.

Screw Jerry and the girls. Screw them almost (almost!) at the expense of our overall SOS in a tiebreak to make the playoffs. You just know he’s been on the phone to NY meddling on some of these reviews…Dirtbag owner and obnoxious fans.

Honest question for thoughts. Seattle scores a TD with a 21-20 lead. No no need for an xtra point to go up 7. Why not go for two and make it a two score game?

Correct on all counts. With the exception of the Browns and Jets, the throwbacks rolled out this year have all been great imo. Even Philly. If we had to lose to them at least we got to see it in those sweet kelly greens.

To be fair, KC also dominated Philly and should have won. They shot themselves in the foot just like us. Gotta hand it to Philly...they're either the luckiest SOBs in the world or are a championship team that digs deep and just finds ways to win. Guess we'll find out which in the playoffs.

Same reason this was the first year of games on Black Friday. Before we know it, there'll be football on every day of the week and twice (maybe literally?) on Sunday! On one hand it's nice having options to watch more games throughout the week, on the other I kind of miss the days of limited football on Sunday and Monday night only...it felt like there was something special to look forward to each week.

Totally fair point. And I'm assuming there was probably a disclaimer with the new Monday night flex games too. Still movement to a Saturday is probably easier than a Monday night!

Same day flex games I get to a degree. If I'm already planning on going to the game Sunday I can probably swing a game moved earlier or later that day, annoying as it might be. Scheduling to an entirely new day with less than 2 weeks notice though??? Seems crazy from a ticketed fan's perspective, especially for those travelling in from out of town. Have to imagine a good chunk of fans won't be able to adjust and will have to sell or forfeit the tix. Curious if they would be offered any sort of refund in that scenario?

Fingers crossed that there's a financial out in Von's contract that can help us if things go off the rails with the recent domestic assault allegations...

Doing my part towards 100 pages even though Howie Roseman will probably have him back in Philly before we hit page 5. That man is a freaking wizard.

Kind of messed up but that's exactly where my mind went too. Sure hope it's not true for everyone involved, most importantly the woman.

Tough one. Depends on the money. Going with AJE assuming he doesn't cost much compared to Floyd. No question Floyd is better today but he's getting older and will likely command significantly more money. AJE has flashed potential and may not have reached his ceiling yet. For a while now we've spent too much money on the D relative to the O imo. The D needs to get younger and quicker and cheaper so more resources can go to supporting Josh.

Singling out Philly fans as more boorish swamp creatures than other fanbases, even, dare I say some of our own (e.g., remember when last year's Miami game had to be paused due to fans throwing iceballs at the Miami bench?), has become a narrative that's become a bit too easy (even lazy?) to perpetuate. An analogy that comes to mind for Bills fans is when we hear certain national media personalities who always find a way to criticize Josh no matter how well he plays or how high up the stats leaderboard he is. To some analysts, he'll always be trash who can't hit the broad side of a barn. Pisses us off when we hear it, right? if you're going into a situation looking to have your preconceived assumptions confirmed, Philly is a really easy place to do it based on reputation alone. Like I said, there are always some bad apples in every fanbase, and unfortunately it sounds like you met some who fit the stereotype. If so, I'm truly sorry to hear that. I just wanted to share a different perspective based on my experience and try to push back on the broader narrative that all Philly fans are bad.

I'm a Western NY native who has lived in Philly the past several years. I've also been to the last two games the Bills visited down here, including Sunday's debacle. The only bad experience from my perspective either time I've seen the Bills play here was the team's product on the field. The thing you have to understand about Philly is that it's actually got a lot in common with WNY. It's a hard-working, blue collar city with a distinct regional identify that is often misunderstood and maligned by outsiders that know nothing about it except what they've heard. In reality, it's a criminally underrated city with amazing history, food and culture. In my experience it's a city full of down to earth people who happen to be diehard fans supporting their city's sports teams. Philly fans get a bad rap based on stories from decades ago, but to be honest I've seen and heard of worse at OBD in recent years lol. This Sunday I got plenty of good-natured heckling from Eagles fans, and sure, also had a few "birds" flipped my way, but I gave it right back and they loved it. Some of them sitting nearby and walking around the concourse were actually pretty hilarious. Someone else said that the Bills are a neutral opponent for Philly, and that's true. We're about as neutral as they come for a visiting team here. In fact, I wear my Bills gear around town almost daily and almost always get positive reactions or genuine questions about the team. To be fair though, I'm not sure I'd roll up to the Linc in Dallas gear...they absolutely HATE the Cowboys here. Maybe even more than we hate New England, if that's possible. Anyway, this post wasn't meant to slobber all over Philly and it's fans, which like anywhere else has it's problems and bad apples. Just wanted to provide some balance and perspective from a diehard Bills fan in the heart of Eagles country.
