As my HS coach used to say when he caught us looking in the stands for girls "you can't play ball with a hard on, but you can coach with one!"

Not sure whether I should laugh at the first part of that quote or be astonished at your coach basically admitting to being turned on by high school chicks in the stands.

If the coach was even referring to the chicks and not the team!  Just creepy but hey, it was a different world then

I'm more pumped for this game now than I was for the opener I think, if only because the stakes feel so high that they win now that they've already dropped one.

I feel like I'm awaiting biopsy results from a large lump on my neck.

Zack Moss knew it back in 2015. Make the man active.

I mean in the comments on his YouTube of his podcast.

 

 

He replied to someone saying they hope he plays against Miami that he is.

They ran up the score on non playoff teams. Playoff teams they struggled for the most part, again, apart from Seattle whose defense was God awful and half the Rams game.

 

What's the point here?  Do you think the other top scoring teams didn't run up the score on worse teams and struggle against the best teams they played?

My friend flew out to Portland for a wedding this morning.  He said the airport was overrun with Bills fans making their way to Miami lol. We'll travel well for this one. Be loud everyone!

I never knew there were so many Bills fans here in Portland.  Seems like more of a Seahawks town to me…

or maybe just because it's the next game?

I think we could have easily blown the Steelers out had the offense been better managed.  The Coaches particularly the offensive coaches lost the game.  To many situations where we could have moved the sticks and they did a trick play or out-coached themselves.  I expect McD to have more input in short yardage situations and for us to execute way better this week

Wasn't like that, he was divorced and always had a new date at the games that we always gave him ***** about but can understand how it could be misunderstood in the context.

Landed in Palm Beach last night… my son’s first ever Bills game. Hope we’re well represented tomorrow!

Calm down, son.

Any man not turned on by high school girls frolicking in the stands isn’t a normal man. -NOT that there’s anything Wrong with that!

The point is that our offense is overrated and doesn't do squat against good teams whereas actual good offenses score on everyone.

Lol.  13-3

Watching the Miami Mich St game in Miami.  They were just saying it's 90 degrees, and no shade, players are taking Oxygen.  Should be interesting tomorrow.

Dion Dawkins is a major concern.

And my point was and still is that they beat up on weak teams and last year was their high water mark unless things improve.

I'd say he's a major concern even in perfect weather and health.

There's a difference between saying they suck and saying they are paper tigers. They are paper tigers and they will continue to romp weak teams more often then not and continue to lose to the teams they need to beat to go anywhere. It's a playoff team, it's not a Super Bowl team and it's not a Super Bowl team for the same reasons they weren't last year.

So last year, including the playoffs, the bills were 5-3 vs playoff squads. Paper tigers don’t do that. Then there’s the other 2 wins over the 10 win fins. They were 10-4 against the rest of the NFL…. And then this year there has only been one game played. 
 

Go ahead and say their flaws may take them out of the super bowl hunt but “paper tigers” is a bit over the top IMO

I hate games on Fox for some reason it’s more of a pain in the a$$ to log into to the Fox sports app and then I get nervous I’m not gonna get the game… CBS all access app is much easier to deal with…. Anyways go Bills I hope we crush the Dolphins

Can the visiting team bring umbrellas or the like, or is that prohibited by NFL rules? 

No shade does seem brutal.

 

I think the forecast for tomorrow is partly to mostly cloudy in the am, light rain at kickoff, and isolated thunderstorms during the game

I dont think they are allowed to erect anything on the sideline but iirc I've seen assistants holding up shades in the past.

Maybe that is how it ends this year.  Why fans are demanding the Bills be the best team in the league at this moment is a little confusing to me.

The team has made some really good improvements as an organization in the last few years.

Watching the games during the season is the fun part of football.  My hope as a fan is they win enough games to get to the playoffs

again and if that is in the form of a repeat Divisional Title that will be awesome.

 

The playoffs are a place were anything can happen.

 

"Paper Tigers" are a result of your vision and expectations and I'm pretty sure are not what the players and coaches think of themselves.

They are trying to be as good as they can be at this moment in time.  I will watch the game tomorrow and see what happens.

I'm hoping for a win!

They can probably bring chill misters similar to how they bring heaters out in the winter.

As unpopular at it sounds I happen to agree. KC is in a league of its own and the Bills flat out can't beat them. The Brown's running game will likely destroy the Bills. Pitts front 4 is too much for the Bills to handle. Thus far, Bills have major holes on the Oline and running game. Allen is likely to regress and the pass rush still suspect. Sounds a lot like last year...What helps is playing in the weak AFC east. Bills should win by default. It's way too early to call. Perhaps the Bills progress and become elite and are able to compete with KC. I suspect it's a one and done for the Bills the year. Would love nothing more than to be wrong on my assessment.

This is stupid as stupid can be.  I recommend that you refrain from using the word  “can’t”.

 

we CAN beat them.  We just need the coaching staff to come up with a better game plan and the players need to execute better.

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Apparently the Oline and one Feliciano in particular, has been taking things personally this week. Good article, apologies if already posted upthread:

 

[Bangarang]

You have to assume interior o-line is going to be a priority this off-season for Beane.
