If you read the fine print when you signed up for the mailing list that’s exactly what you did.

The comments at the end of this article are tremendous.

It’s only a problem if playoff tickets are available for $8.

It was a big enough deal to start a thread about it….🤔

That’s a really good point. I’m sure it was addressed by the Players Association in the negotiations for the additional game but I’ve never read anything about how.

You wrote: “but it's enough to get me to unsubscribe from the team's marketing emails”. That sounds like you are offended or upset. What else do you expect from “marketing emails”? 🤣

If you are that offended by advertising life must be hard for you.

If you don’t see the difference between an O-lineman getting hurt and Josh going down, I guess we’re done here.

I’m not “you guys”. And I’m not saying Josh is not successful and effective. I’m saying it’s not sustainable and that our line and RBs don’t instill confidence in their ability to take the load off Josh to save him from excessive risk.

The o-line is showing signs of life. I just don’t trust them to get tough yards when they need to run for them in short yardage or red zone. Maybe I’ll have more confidence if they put up 150-200 yards on the Jets. Trubisky - the issue there is he can’t escape the rush and make spontaneous throws like Josh can. Running isn’t the issue with Trubisky - he won’t be able to hide the o-line’s weaknesses the way Josh can. Trubisky seems to be a pretty good runner actually. He just doesn’t have the improvisation skills Josh has and which make this offense go.

Singletary averages less than 50 yards per game. When the Bills need to run it in the red zone or on 3rd and short, they were not successful most of the year. They are improving recently and the performance against Atlanta in the red zone and at the end of the game was encouraging. But having your QB be very nearly your leading rusher is not sustainable. It means he is taking an exponentially greater number of hits every game and the risk is the team is likely not going to be competitive offensively if he goes down. Trubisky is just not capable of doing the things Josh does to extend drives. At this point in the season, they have no choice but to keep riding Josh’s arm and legs, but they need a RB with a better skill set than Singletary if they are going to conserve Josh for the long haul. The line is performing better of late and that too is encouraging.

I read that article today and thought it was overly generous to Josh. I believe Josh would say the same thing about it. Every QB has their days - the Bills beat Green Bay when Rodgers had some picks, but Josh was all over the place Sunday. Hopefully he’ll go back to taking those check downs and play it a little safer in the playoffs. Cannot afford TOs in the playoffs.

Not very. The run defense is not consistent, nor is the run game. Josh was the most dependable aspect of the team until Sunday. The whole team just seems to be on the edge this year - you can almost tell from the first series on O and D how the game is going to go. I’m not sure they can string together three excellent games in all three phases to make the Super Bowl. To do so, they are going to need the other team to help by playing a subpar game.

The cap is going up significantly over the next few years. Keep Diggs happy and paid.

If he plays great on the road, I’m all for that!

So you’re saying a downtown dome then? 🤪

My bookie Vito told me “take it or leave it, punk”

The true test will be whether they can run the ball against a really good d-line. The game in New England showed signs of being able to do that, but it will need to be more consistent and dependable in the playoffs.

The Bills went from never having a QB get a 300-yard game to never having a RB get a 100-yard game.

That’s less about weather and more about the quality of QBs that have played here. Wentz is at the top of that sorry list.

Dungy is 66 and has a cushy job that pays well. Not really seeing the upside for him unless he is sick of TV and wants to get back in the grind.

It’s crazy the way you cringe when a QB gets tackled, but never give a thought to the constant pounding a RB takes with every carry. I understand their bodies are different, and RBs know how to take a hit, but watching Allen get hit gives me so much appreciation for the punishment that RBs are able to withstand.

Vegas had it as a toss up between “slim” and “none”. 🤣

Good lord! How will beat any of these teams without a dome??

Well, it was a retrofit and has to withstand hurricanes, which I’m sure added to the cost.
