So the Bills get the AFCW at home the next 2 years, so there’s still a good chance at least 2 out of the next 3 played against the chiefs will be in Buffalo
Yeah 2026 for certain, other years, who knows.

Didn't see anything about roster moves made on Saturday. Did Hyde get IR'd? Elam get activated ? Any other moves? I'm assuming not?

Gotta have a Fish Fry...that's a huge thing here...unlike most places that have it around Lent, we do it here every Friday all year and it's pretty much standard fare at any restaurant on a Friday. It would be harder to find a restaurant that doesn't offer it than one that does.
Typically the portions are fall off the plate humongous.
Sounds like a good plan for the game...
You are lucky I guess...looks to be the only day with any potential snow in the long term 15-day forecast...temps have been very unseasonably mild here and only 3-4" of snow so far. Which after last year's historic fight with Mother Nature thru Christmas is very much appreciated. Thank you El Nino.
Kind of funny, I grew up0 in NYC area and could go into many restaurants and any day of the week, fried flounder was on the menu. Moved to western NY and was Fridays only (plus Wednesday during Lent) and always Haddock. Very few places served fried flounder ans I missed it. Whenever I was traveling someplace and was on the menu, would always get it.
I now live in NC and down here can get fried flounder any place and any day of the week, but hard to find any place serving haddock. There use to be one place here, owner was from Buffalo and could always get haddock and beef on Weck, but place closed a few years back. Now miss my haddock.

Listen, I know it's only Dec 16 and we have 8 more games ahead but message boards are to generate discussion of all sorts of things. So, unless we want to determine the ratio of pickle just in Christmas cookies or the importance of 3.5 we can mess around with this:
12/16
Home (fixed):
Jaguars
Titans
Cardinals
49ers
Jets
Patriots*
Dolphins
Home (TBD):
Broncos
Away (fixed)
Texans
Colts
Rams
Seahawks
Jets
Patriots*
Dolphins
Away (TBD)
Browns
Vikings
----
I like getting a revenge game for the Broncos. The close proximity of the Browns game is nice and the listless fan base of the Rams and Vikings is nothing im concerned about. The Colts and Texans could be interesting next year.
This can't be right, we're not playing in KC!!
The irony is the one year we play the AFC west opponent at home, high likelihood we won't be in the same position in the standings as KC so don't play them in Buffalo.

That's true, but what on earth would Mahomes say in his appeal? "I wasn't really trying to get to the ref to yell in his face and only kept from it by my teammates, if they'd have let go I would have walked over and said "Kind sir, a warning would be most appreciated but was not given"? "I wasn't really yelling about it to Josh Allen during the after-game bro hugs, we were talking about the Pacers game" "I wasn't really complaining about the ref'ing in my post game presser, I was misquoted - On videotape!"
Well my point was it would more likely be appealed and the league would lose if the fine was deemed to be excessive. Likely that will be the NFLPA's argument, not that Mahomes didn't break the rules, but that the fine given is excessive.
Reid can certainly make the same argument, but he has nobody fighting for him.

The League Justice System has decided these two are guilty in the proverbial eyes of the League Rules. They receive the bracketed consequences based on a scrupulously detailed preset of punishments.
Twice the fine for the coach. That’s interesting. Mahomes clearly did most of the damage, but the league has a heavy hand on the head coach.. Reid has to be pissed that he’s paying twice the number that Mahomes pays. So that means his pissed at Mahomes, and that can spiral fast based on all the trash that Mahomes encompasses.. embarrassing family, and nauseous ads. (But Reid dips his toe in that too..)
Can’t be good to have your head coach mad at the star quarterback / can it..? 🤷♂️ Maybe the League wants drama — THEIR NUMBER ONE COMMODITTTY
(the best part about this community….. I get spell checked on Mahomes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 @Simon)
Well they know too that the players can appeal the fine, while the coach can't as no NFLPA to fight Reid's battles for him

One comment I had read online said he should have been fired at halftime when down 42-0

I saw the headline of the article and thought this was a bad look for Diggs. But after reading the article, other than the headline, nothing really bad on his part.

Exactly.
A) Highly unlikely the player is uncovered. The offense will have (at most) 5 players in the EZ while the defense will have 8 (plus or minus one).
B) Even in the unlikely case that a player does break open, the defense will have time to get there while the ball is in the air.
Yeah that's thew trouble with these hail mary's , the defense only rushes like 3 players so the QB has all the time in the world and usually throws this rainbow that takes forever to come back down to earth.

I'd extend Douglas for a couple years while you can do it for ,less money than waiting a year until he's a FA
Let Hyde go. may bring back Poyer but at less money, mainly don't want to have two new safeties in system same year and draft his replacement for 2025
I'd keep Elam for reasons mentioned unless they can get decent return on trade which is doubtful.
Probably let White go also unless he agrees to big pay cut.
Extend Johnson.
-
He's also a FA now, not bound by rookie pay scale he got a was it a 5th rounder. Likely Bills could do better overall in the draft, maybe not on talent, but close enough on talent and cheaper.

Think there's a better chance of winning the division than getting wild card only because the teams ahead of the Bills in wild card race have much easier schedules Than Bills and Fish and Denver and Cinnci beat them if come down to tie breaker. Plus Bills have bad conference record.

I'm not buying it. I won't believe it until I see it happen. Especially if they just extended him last offseason.
Article states there is only one year left on extension so not that much $$ to absorb if only a year.
Kraft may have to lay off the you know what for a year to save some cash, but that would be the ultimate showing of taking one of the team on his part.

So Poona Ford and Linval Joseph were both free agents in the off season. Since Joseph has signed the team has played better and is much more effective at stopping the run. I'm thinking if the Bills had signed Joseph instead of Ford, we may have won at least one, maybe two of the games we lost once Jones got hurt.
I wonder if the Bills tried to sign him, but he wanted much more $$ or they just felt Ford was better and never looked at Joseph in the off season.
-
I'd imagine the other AFC teams hope the Bills don't make the playoffs as looking at that list the only team close in talent is the Bengals, but that's only when you put Burrow back on the field.

So I assume there's never been an actual explanation from YTTV or admit of a mistake?

It is a corner case they should fix and it was always the same under DTV. The Bills hardly ever played a 4:25 national window so you may have never seen it happen to a Bills game. That is how the service works......the Bills game was NOT part of the sunday ticket....it was on your local TV. Youtube is not authorized to broadcast the games on local TV. Because the other game went long you were at the mercy of the network....that is where the ONLY option is a "stream".
But the Bills game is on ST as are all games. If I lived in Denver or LA the Denver-LA was on local TV so if I wanted ot watch the Bills game I stil lcould through ST.
I get what you're saying, but the game was on ST.

Same issue except I watched it directly on CBS network TV in Philly. So mad missing basically the first quarter abd our first TD. At the very least they should have done a split screen. CBS screwed the pooch.
You think it was CBS, not YTTV??
2 minutes ago, Rico said:I quickly switched to a Reddit stream, so I was OK.
One thing I did notice though: I had the 4-games-at-once option on, with the sound on the Ravens game.
When 1 of the 4 games ended, they switched to the Ravens, so that game was on 2x. The local Fox feed was a play behind the ST feed, go figure.
I've seen that happen a number of times, which is fine, s little weird but nothing wrong.

same issue was stuck w Jags game so started off watching a bootleg stream Kind of terrible to be paying for something and need to resort to that just to watch your team
Yeah I did the same. Haven't done that since last year, was afraid I might not remember how. But was like riding a bike!
-
So I live live in NC, out of local market and subscribe to YTTV and ST. The early game on local CBS channel was Cleveland-Jax game with plans for the Bills-Chiefs game to be broadcast following at 4:25. Cleveland game didn't end until around 3:45 so if watching on local TV was carrying the end of that game and would have joined the Bills game in progress. No issues there, that's typical of the way it works. So instead went into YTTV and selected the Bills-Chiefs game. But instead that was also showing the Cleveland-Jax game. Had no way of watching the beginning of the Bills-Chiefs game.
Am I missing something here as that's not the way ST is supposed to work, I'm supposed to be able to watch any game of my choosing??
Wondering if anyone else had the same issue or was it something just going on in my local area. This has never happened prior, regardless of what game was on local station, I could select and watch the Bills game. I'm hoping this doesn't happen again next week when they play Dallas as that will again be a late game followed by an earlier game on Fox.

A good pick. Why not another wide receiver and a backup quarterback?
Why? Is your goal to waste a draft pick? This team is good and Allen is great. There is no QB controversy here. The only way the backup QB sees the field is in a blow out win or loss or Allen gets hurt. As many have said, though not this year, team needs a backup QB good enough to win a game or two until Allen gets back. Why would you want to trust a rookie QB in that role while you can always find a Tribisky, K Allen, and others just like that.
Drafting another punter would make much more sense than drafting a rookie QB.

Think Knox's role will be as the blocking TE but probably one of the best pass catch TE's in the league so teams will need to account for him as a receiver where as a guy like Lee Smith they could ignore except for the one time a year he'd go out and catch a pass.
Is he making too much money as a blocking TE, maybe depending on how many passes he actually catches. Could see them sticking with the contract for 2024, but once his role is defined more long term, then asking him to take a pay cut. Or restructure in 2024, then pay cut in 2025?

And missing on a QB w/ a top pick can set an organization back for years.
Williams gives me Bo Callahan vibes.
Agree on 1st comment and 2nd one don't follow college football enough to know, but just do know there's a long list of #1 overall flops.
Even worse than flopping is you draft a guy who can win you a half dozen games a year, good enough to think next year he'll turn it all around, but bad enough to not ever make playoffs and just good enough to not ever give you any top draft picks. But like you said, by then BB will be sitting on his boat in Florida.
Really can't believe Kraft would want to trust a 70 YO something to develop a new fresh out of college QB. That just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen unless the guy is a Tom Brady clone as far as the all out stop at nothing and do everything to win

It’s absolutely the case. Why would BB try to win 4 games this year when it’s so easy to win 2? It looks like Chicago is going to make a killing at the top of this draft, but the Patriots have a chance to alter the current path of their franchise for the next 15 years. Belichick knows how to win with a great quarterback (unlike our coach), and just about the time CW inks his big deal, Bill will have about years remaining in his coaching life to get another trophy. Right when CW’s income begins to suck the organization dry, Bill will be in Florida living his life without football.
The Pats could end up with the #1 overall and still no guarantee the QB they pick translated to NFL success. It certainly isn't the first time there's been a can't miss QB selected #1 overall who missed badly. If Belichick was so smart he'd have never taken the chance and waited until the 6th round to draft Brady, he's have taken him in at least the 4th round and for about the next two years been ripped for over drafting the guy. But they got lucky that time.
