I mean...come on. Spoken as a Bills fan. But as a fan of watching the game, that Dolphins Chiefs matchup would be great football.

Thank you for the work you put into these broadcast updates, Chongli. I really appreciate it. The reality of the Bills/Pats* game being directly opposite of the Dolphins/Ravens game just came hammering home. I'm glad I got that extra beer in me and signed up for YouTube TV/NFL package this past August. The beer helped the "wince" as I hit Send. But I love the side-by-side broadcast. Going to need it this weekend.

Drat! You beat me to it!

A "joy"? It was orgasmic. It'll be that way tomorrow at 5:30 as well. Blow the lock off the vault and get NFL+ for a month.

Wait. THIS is what you're complaining about?

Boy-oh-boy, BOTH kickers are going to have to be on their game - or hugely lucky. If the wind in the eastern basin of Lake Erie is anything like the wind going on right now in the eastern basin of Lake Ontario, there will be NO kicking game. Watch for a lot of Cook and Murray and short passes to the tight ends today. It is HOWLING up here.

Long ways away, but if the Bills win out and the division title is on the line at that Dolphins game, they're going into Miami and they're going to commit assault. I've not been more confident of an outcome all season. As for the Dolphins-Jets...didn't the Dolphins lose their starting center last week? And so some backup is blocking whom? Quinnen Williams? What on earth could go wrong for the Dolphins in that scenario?

I was thinking this when I read the OP. I don't see Detroit losing to Denver at home after getting embarrassed by Chicago last week. Doesn't really change things a lot, other than I don't see Denver going 4-0 down the stretch.

Long flight, but, yeah, the jet lag isn't really a problem. You just have to shake off 9 hours in the seat.

That made me laugh out loud. Well done.

Thanks for the heavy lift, Chongli. For these two games: 1) Christmas at my sister's on the 23rd...and she has a Peacock subscription. I'd better check to make sure it's the appropriate level. 2) IF the Bills fall into this Wild Card slot, I'm heading for a sports bar. I got YouTube TV, I got Prime for Thursdays. Come on, people. Enough.

Oliver was a force of nature out there.

Always one of my favorites. Hope you're doing well, Dean.

I do remember some of those trades at the end of the draft, and wondering what Beane had up his sleeve for 2024. Here's my dumb question for the morning - based on what is in this article...does this mean the Bills have four (4) picks in the 6th round? 1) Broncos to the Bills via the Rams 2) Rams to the Bills 3) Cowboys to the Bills via the Texans 4) Bills own 6th? There's going to be some wheeling and dealing next April.

That's an interesting point. Could be a good stats-padding night for the running backs. Makes for a quick game at night.

A few thoughts: 1) The hair. Just...the hair. 2) What a wrecking crew. 3) Those cheerleaders were young when I was young. Bet they look better than I do. 4) It's a different game, isn't it?

My sojourn wasn't as wild as Sherpa's, but I also had adventures in air travel. I was in Perth doing some training when I called my wife to check in. It was night time there. "You need to turn on the TV". Wow. Gloves off. And...like...NOW WHAT? I knew standard procedure would be to seal off the airspace, so I scrambled as fast as I could with the travel agent (yeah, we used those back then). Too late. US airspace closed. Tried to get back via Vancouver. Too late. Canadian airspace closed. Didn't even contemplate trying to get back through Mexico. I was slated to travel back from Sydney to Los Angeles the next day, but the idea of being on an overwater trip with a US flag on the fuselage didn't seem like a good idea. So the next morning I went down to the local travel agent in Perth and rebooked on neutral carriers. Singapore Airways from Perth to Singapore, connecting to London Heathrow. Heathrow was an insane mob scene. I mean - everything was locked up. I just ended up grabbing a hotel and called the company and said "See you when I can see you". It took a week to get home. Booked an Air Canada flight to Ottawa, rented a car, and drove across on the Ogdensburg bridge. I've never been so happy to hand my passport to the border patrol in my entire life.

Wow. So...in seriousness...who's going to the London game? PM me. The trip that just got dropped in my lap now includes a departure on Sunday 8 October (because they want us to go to Oktoberfest in Stuttgart on 7 October), and I could possibly swing it. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I might (*gasp*) get to meet some of you in a weird environment. Who's going? Might do it.

Good God, this place is going to be intolerable. We're picking #1 overall. I...I can just feel it...

Aren't they moving as well? Sheesh. Sucks to be from Oakland.

Thanks for the PM and the responses. I have a VPN. Apologies - not very tech-savvy. Light up the VPN, and then use YouTubeTV on the laptop, correct?

Hello over there. I was just told that I'm going to Germany during the weekend of the Dolphins game (1 Oct 23). I'll have the following: 1) My laptop 2) An HDMI cable 3) An HDMI-to-USB-C adapter 4) A full-blown subscription to YouTube TV and NFL Direct Ticket and RedZone (I figured "F it" and got the whole 9 yards). Back when I was traveling to Europe during "The Drought", I could use GamePass. It worked - but the games sucked. Does it still work? Can I get YouTube TV NFL Direct Ticket in Europe? What is "DAZN"? Any input would be appreciated. I'll fly over a day early to make sure I'm in the hotel with equipment hooked up. Thanks much.

This. Because that woman is "wow".

And seriously good beef, but in my opinion not as good as is found in Sao Paolo. But I digress.

It's thoughts like those that bring a ray of sunshine into one's life every single time one thinks them. It's actually marginally funnier than the Peerless Price trade. Because we're talking about Tyrod Taylor...going to the Browns...for the first pick of the 3rd round... There's that ray of sunshine again!
