  1. I got into this argument last weekend with my cousin, who is a crazy delusional lifelong Dolphins fan:

     

    He stubbornly clung to Tua's statistics vs Josh's for this year and basically said that Tua was the better QB and the Bills would never win with Josh (because he throws too many INT's)

     

    I still can't get past Tua not passing the "eye test" for me. 

    Yes, he's accurate

    Yes, he throws a nice catchable ball

    But he still seems fragile and not meant for the long haul.

    He slides to avoid hits or runs out of bounds

    He doesn't fire up his teammates or inspire a lot of leadership

    This is the first year he's had any sustained success, and that's with missing multiple games or parts of games due to injury

     

    Regression and injuries are going to hit this team hard

    I'll wait to anoint Tua and the Dolphins until they can prove it in the playoffs

  2. For decades, the Packers had a deal with Milwaukee to play ~ 3 of their home games there, since they were more of a "regional" team and also to share revenue with them. 

     

    I'm sure the interwebs has more details, but that's the gist of it.  I believe the ended the arrangement in the early-mid 90's

     

    Pull up the game footage from the 1991 contest and you'll get a sense of how weird it looked

  3. I re-watched this game several months ago, and it was a good one for sure.  Our defense was flat out dominant that year (outside of playing the Bengals)

     

    An even more fun re-watch was Bills @ Packers from 1991.  One of the last games played in Milwaukee County Stadium.  The stadium orientation and field layout was truly bizarre to see, now that we've been accustomed for so long to the modern football-only palaces. 

     

    The truly goofy thing that stood out to me was that because of space concerns, BOTH teams had to share the same sideline!

  4. I actually think that it's a decent chance that the Bills get this game

     

    They aren't likely giving Buffalo a Thanksgiving night game any time soon after they were featured in that spot in 2021

     

    But a Friday afternoon game with no competition where they want huge numbers to justify something shiny and new on the NFL calendar? 

    This sure sounds like a spot to showcase Josh Allen and the Bills - especially with how they can show all of the tailgating, potential bad weather, etc.

  5. I'll buy into that take - the guy has simply been money all year long.  

     

    The number of runs that even get to the second level is the lowest we've seen since the Ted Washington era. 

     

    It's amazing how much of an upgrade he's been over frigging overpaid Star.  

    I get it - he's getting lots of help and he's not the only one on the line doing a great job.

     

    But the difference that he's making to our defense while relatively under the radar has been amazing

  6. 38 minutes ago, TheFunPolice said:

    we'll now complete the NFL week...

     

    during the pandemic year there were Tuesday and Wednesday games, so now with Friday we'll have seen regular season NFL games every day of the week. 

     

    Just, for the love of God PLEASE stop with the Bills Thanksgiving games!

     

    There were random Friday night games back in the 70's and 80's.  Many of them were Christmas/New Year's week, but there's a few here that weren't

  7. It's been encouraging watching him grow as a coach and embrace going against his more conservative, defense-oriented nature

     

    Even though all of the decisions didn't necessarily work yesterday, they were still the right decisions.

     

    Players see that - and they appreciate having an aggressive coach behind them
