If you think the conversation is uninteresting or beneath you just scroll by, unless of course your own self worth is dependent on mocking other's opinions.

No question but it isn't unreasonable to want to watch the 17 games and to feel disappointed and express that displeasure by the NFL decision to change those dynamics. I am almost certain that very few player actually want to play football on Christmas day and the support staff including Police officers, vendors, security, parking staff. For me missing the game is very disappointing for me but for the people required to work on that day they don't have a real choice. Football on Christmas day is just a bad idea.

Actually in this case its pretty easy to have your cake and eat it too. Until recently the NFL never played on Christmas day so its obviously not critical that they do.

I don't want him, but I am not sorry to see him leave Miami either

I understand that things are different for every family and to some watching football will be welcome as reflected in some of the comments. For families who don't see each other often and want to spend time talking to each other and reflecting on why we are all together its a little disappointing to be forced to choose between one one of only 17 games (excluding play-offs) and social time with families and worship is unfortunate. There is a reason the NFL avoided Christmas day for years and I understand that times of changed, I just think one day isn't too much to ask.

Sorry no football for me on Christmas. One day a year to spend with the family.

This is fantastic, thank you for posting

Has anyone seen the ticket prices for this game??? I was hoping to take my family to the game because I lived in Detroit for about 12 years and wanted to go on a little nostalgia tour. The CHEAPEST for 6 tix is $750+ fees. That is crazy. $717ea + fees for 2 tix.

I'm hoping to upgrade at safety with Budda Baker

Such a beta man song... awful choice.

Ken "Snake" Stabler

Grew up in Astoria Queens and my Dad was a Jets fan so I became a Jets fan; in 1983 the Jets moved to New Jersey in 1983 and he decided we were a fan of New York's only football team, the Buffalo Bills. He changed back in 1985 but I fell in love with the blue collar fans and in 1989, with my first visit on a Monday night against the Bengals I fell in love with the city and the fans. Been going to at least 3 games every year since then. I was a season ticket holder for 12 years but dropped them in 2014 when my kids started going to college and I had to pay some large college Bills. Would love to rejoin but they won't sell tickets to people outside of Western NY anymore. My kids (4) are all Bills fans through and through despite growing up in Tom Brady territory and all that nonsense, perhaps my proudest dad moment.

Good choices but I Frazier way more than McDermott

Coach: Dick Jauron - He was the quintessential Ralph Wilson cheapskate move. He was unimaginative and coupled with the lack of talent on the team lead to miserable football to watch. He seemed like an honorable and good man though. Player: Rob Johnson, no need to revisit all the reason on this one.

I'd wouldn't be opposed to it. I don't think (or want) McDermott to be fired.

Don't want Christmas at all.

GOAT is greatest of all time; both could not be the greatest.

Late round pick at best

The Underground Bar

I am a Bills fan who live near Boston and have been to a number of stadiums as a visiting fan and my experience with the fans in this area is the worst I have experienced. Jets fans were pretty bad too. (I used to live in the NYC area and attend those games regularly.) The general rule I've found to be true is the better a team is doing the more obnoxious the fans become. I try everything to avoid fighting by engaging in friendly conversation with the fans around me but as been written here by others alcohol make everyone louder and stupider. To be fair Bills fans can be awful too. I remember almost getting into a fight with Bills fans in Buffalo when trying to help out a Dad and his young son who had the nerve to wear Broncos jerseys into Ralph Wilson Stadium. I genuinely wish security would screen these intoxicated fans better.

I don't get the Norwood jersey either.

I was just thinking we should reach out to the Bears and offer them a pair of first round picks and see if they are willing to part with Big Nate!

No

I suspect no one is bringing their shoes to camp this year

I agree with you and I think its by design. I suspect the entire team is going to be a little more serious this year following the unexpected early exit last year. It was a big disappointment, I even suspect that Diggs is leading this "time to be serious" approach.
