    One thing to add.  With even fanless games there will need to be travel for away teams, officials and network personnel.  Then there’s everything that goes along with travel - hotels, eating catered or restaurant meals, etc, etc.  Not an insurmountable hurdle by any stretch, but it’s one that that they’ll need to get over. 

    If there is a means for doing something like that, save it for the health care providers and first responders. Don't waste it on people who sports. Sportsing is not important

    The problem is the players. Without a vaccine, it is likely inevitable that a player will test positive during the season. What happens to that team and that locker room?

     

    If they get players to sign a waiver and the NFLPA goes for it I guess it could happen. Would you want a season to have happened if Mitch Morris gets COVID and our entire offense is out for 2-3 weeks and essentially wastes the season anyway?

     

    I know we all want this to happen but it is problematic. 

    Players, officials, coaches, support staff, filming crews, director, analysts. You're talking about maybe 200 people there for something that isn't essential

    Ngakoue or Clowney are still in play. We have the cap space for either of them. Jacksonville might be willing to take two second rounders (this year and next) or a conditional first next year along with Trent Murphy for Ngakoue. 

     

    Ngakoue's trade market is drying up - all his obvious suitors (Eagles, Jets, Seahawks)  have cap constraints. Titans appear to be the only team which can compete with the Bills. But they run a base 3-4 - not sure how Ngakoue will do in that. Also, Jags' OC (Jay Gruden) coached Murphy while with the Redskins and was very complimentary of Murphy even when the latter was suspended. So I am still keeping fingers crossed on Ngakoue.

     

     

    How would this impact cap room for the big pieces we will have to resign shortly- namely Allen and White?

    For one, it's definitely Burrow. Not Burrows. And for two, do you have a link, or any form of validation for this? 

     

    As for the rumor itself, that would be pretty dumb, but I would probably be okay with it. I can root for him to be a bust as much as anyone else. :P

    Well for three first round picks, it had better be Burrows. They can draft him twice and have one as a backup

    Was this the 1983 game (Marino's first game ) where the Bills won for the first time in Miami since 1966. I think it was 38-35 in OT with Ferguson throwing 5 TD's passes this day.

    Couldn't tell you, as I wasn't really watching back in those days. The narrator said it was the game the streak was broken

    I have about 350 games on DVD (including this one_...the holy grail of Bills games to have is the season opener against Miami in 1980.  The game where the goal posts came down, after breaking the Dolphins losing streak. I have been trading games for decades, and nobody has a copy of that game.  Apparently, it was really only broadcast in the Miami area. Don't suppose anyone has a copy?  Ir was my first game as a season ticket holder, and to this day, maybe the most exciting live sporting event I have ever attended...

    Couldn't find the game, but hope you'll enjoy highlights

    Actually, less and less is allowed to go on every day. Why shut everything down if the end result is the Great Depression ? There won’t be anything left anyway. 

     

    There will be what we still have. I have no job. I have health issues. I am taking this time to reconnect with people I haven't spoken with. I am finding who I am for the first time in my life. Tomorrow, I shall go for a long walk and reflect not on all that is no longer in my life. But the many things I have neglected because of those meaningless things. I wish you peace

    It definitely was on the defense.   They seemed to have Vanilla pass rush packages.   Very few blitzes or stunts.  Of course NE’s effective as on the ground helped that happen but even on some obvious passing downs the Bills weren’t able to bring the heat.   Brady was way too comfortable back there.

     

    Also the run defense was steam rolled, way too many missed tackles.   A disappointing defensive performance.   
     

    No doubt NE deserves a lot of credit, they finally played a game this year with an identity and their run game kept the defense so off balance that the play action killed them.   Hats off to their scheme and that was on the coaches.    But all the missed tackles is totally on the players and was very uncharacteristic from this defense.

     

    I don’t believe we will see that happen again over the next few games for the Bills.

    The Pats did expose our CB depth after Tre White. It seemed like they went with 4 WR a lot tonight. Our nickel package was totally abused. Against the Patriots it would be nice to have a man to man CB just follow Edelman around the field and shut him down.

    After the first series of the game, the Defense was not outstanding. They could not get off the field. Its tough for the offense to score points, when the other time is having multiple 8 and 9 minute drives. How many times did the Patriots punt yesterday? Twice.  Defense could not even flip the field when the Pats started on the one.    The inability to get off the field, and the offense running for 49 yards (other than Allen) were the primary problems yesterday.   People seem to think if Josh Allen does not win the game singled handedly he, failed. Yesterday Allen had a 103 QB rating and no turnovers.  He did his part. 

     

    We were 2-11 on third down, yet still had a chance to win at the end because the defense limited them to 24 points. They limited a 12-win team to 24 points.

    B all day.

     

    This offense is still another off-season away IMO.    

    I agree. We have a second year QB who has come a long way, but still has a long way to go. Same for the offensive line- which has improved immensely from last year but still isn't great. The WR's need upgrading (again). Still, we are good in the 4th quarter which is promising
