I always thought the McDermott being too conservative criticism was way too premature. He never had the horses when he first got here to play an aggressive style of offense. I don't blame him for being conservative at that time. He always acknowledged that he knew the Bills had to get better on offense, score more points and play more aggressive. I always had faith that he wasn't just giving us lip service and he understood that to be the reality but he just needed the weapons to be able to coach that way. There were wayyy too many fans that gave him no patience and thought that McDermott only knew how to coach low scoring, conservative football.

There's more parity in the NFL now than ever in my opinion. It truly is a week to week league in this era.

How pissed are Bronco fans they didn't draft Josh Allen!? Whenever I think of the Broncos that's the first thought that pops into my mind

I came to the conclusion that the most violent defense of all time was the 85 Bears. I came to this conclusion by using a formula that they have the highest percentage of highlights that would now be considered a penalty, fine, or automatic suspension.

Of course a Super Bowl victory would be fantastic but this isn't a Super Bowl or Bust team either. We are just getting started and arriving to the big boys table in this league. We are a team trending upwards, I don't think the pressure to go all the way should be there yet but I think it's ok for fans to think it wouldn't be the craziest idea ever especially because there doesn't seem to be any truly great teams in today's NFL except for KC.

Ordering it? No Trying to find a buddy who is getting the fight and scoring an invite? Absolutely

"I've got that Phoenix feeling...Arizona's so appealing"

Was there with my Dad and Brother. Still one of the best Bills games I've ever been to. Right there with beating the Patriots in 2011

It just feels so good to finally have a Horse in the race again

Although I don't see myself ever getting back into the game..it brings me a lot of happiness to hear that collecting sports cards is a thing again!

I've had pretty similar discussions with myself when it comes to the Sabres over the last 10 years. Sports were just so cool and exciting when a lot of us were growing up and it is absolutely just ingrained in us at this point. I don't think Sports are nearly as entertaining as they once were and that cool mystique about Sports seems to be lost. I can totally see why they don't make the same impression on the youths of today although I find it very sad.

When the Bye falls early in the season and the weather is decent I usually consider getting a round of golf in but otherwise I still just watch Football all day. Just with a lot less intensity than a normal Bills week. It is kinda nice getting a relaxing, stress fress football Sunday thrown in the mix once a season.

I'm in WNY and mine is saying NE-Houston for the 1pm game Nevermind. When I checked last night that's what it was showing but I just checked again and now it is showing Baltimore-Tenn which should at least be a decent game

Good F***ing Luck

You can't deny that the players are bigger, stronger, and faster..and that the schemes aren't more complex today. But for me personally I don't think it makes it a better product. I miss the days when football had more of a street fight feel to it. Nowadays guys are literally getting flagged for hitting guys too hard. I understand why the rules have had to evolve over the years as the size and speed of the players have evolved. If you took today's players and had rules from the 80s and 90s in place these guys would kill each other. But from a fan's standpoint I miss the NFL I grew up watching. It was the perfect combination of athleticism and physicality on display. Players also didn't seem to shuffle around as much back then and there were real rivalries. Game was also much less commercialized back then. But like I said earlier things evolve, nothing ever remains steady over 30 years. I still watch some games outside of Bills games but not nearly as many as I used to overall, which sounds like a pretty common point most people are saying. I would also agree it's not just an NFL thing either as the NBA and NHL aren't as enjoyable to watch as they used to be either. I will always be thankful I grew up in the era I did.

But it's still fun lol. I get it though, I felt the same way trying to answer the Mt. Rushmore question for stand up comedians. Trying to come up with your Mt. Rushmore for any topic is always really difficult because you will be forced to omit people who are worthy.

Today's NFL is such a week to week league that it's hard for me to think too far ahead. Will be an exciting matchup once it gets here. Would have loved for things to be normal and have fans attend for this one. Went to Pitt for the Sunday Night Game last year and had a blast.

Really enjoyed reading the stand up comedian Mt. Rushmore thread that I wanted to keep it going with a new topic. Let's hear em! Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix SRV EVH

Never Forget.

Very classy!

That was before my time but they say the stadium used to only draw somewhere in the 20,000's back then. It's crazy to think about how even during the leanest times and worst weather during the drought years you could still count on at least 50,000-60,000 showing up.
