Has anyone tried downloading the HBO MAX app and then logging in using your TV provider...and choosing Prime Video?  I log into MAX using Spectrum as my TV provider.  If Prime Video is offered as a provider, it should work the same.

My old man cable worked awesome. Sorry kids.

Chernobyl was unbelievably good. But I would only watch 1 episode a week, the way shows are intended to be watched. It's too grim to binge. Plus there's only 5 episodes so if you start this week you'll count down to the NFL season 😁

 

Another HBO show I'll mention that no one else brought up is Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal. I have no clue if anybody other than me has watched it and I don't even know how to explain what it is. Best description I can give is extreme social experiments conducted on real people by an evil genius. But that's underselling it. Your jaw will regularly be on the floor.

I suggested Rehearsal on page 3 lol

I'm happy you are enjoying your cable ...as I am enjoying streaming without any issues.  I feel badly for those who have run into problems.

Bills Mafia, we need to have a serious conversation.

 

Today, I witnessed a moment that shook me to my core — and no, it wasn’t a blown coverage or a missed kick.

It was KJ Hamler’s electric scooter.

 

If you can even call it that.

That thing looked like it was held together with hopes, prayers, and maybe a twisty tie.

It whined like a dying kazoo and moved slower than a Patriots rebuild.

 

We are the Mafia. We do not let our guys pull up to practice looking like they stole a scooter from a yard sale behind a Chuck E. Cheese.

 

So here’s the play:

Let’s rally, not just for laughs — but for a cause. KJ has supported the American Cancer Society, a cause close to his heart.

Let’s throw down in true Mafia fashion and donate in his name. And hey — maybe we raise enough to get the man a scooter that doesn’t get outpaced by snails.

 

We’re talking high speed. LED lights. Horn that says “Go Bills.” Possibly hydraulics. Something with dignity.

 

Do it so we never have to witness that sad contraption again.

I heard KJ's nickname in Pontiac is Mr. "Blunt" On

 

Well played "Jeff"

The new thread is going to be 90% about troubleshooting for last-minute subscribers, isn't it? 😄

I was excited for it because it felt like the official start of the season. Pretty standard fare as far as Hard Knocks goes. Guessing episode 2 will have a segment on Keon, Cook, and Bosa.

[Mike in Horseheads]

It will be exciting to watch Cook say "Its bidness" for 50 minutes

[stevewin]

Tboight they might have some dorm room stuff playing cards etc but I realized they probably shut down the filming by then each day.  And no turkey burgers

Was that Dawkins’ own property or was it some sort of makeshift track somewhere on the rez? They made it seem like it was his cars in his garage but there were native ads all over the place, like it was behind big Indian smoke shop or something.

Probably rents space in somebody's garage and pays an hourly rate for track time, I'd guess?

He was explaining in the huddle about Galileo proving heavier things do not fall any faster than lighter things. It was brilliant.

He was talking about Galileo and messing around with gravity equations and seeing who knew acceleration was 9.81 m/s *2 

I think one of the OL was actually familiar but inadvertently stuck a negative in there.

For what it’s worth, since Hard Knox is an HBO original show, it will air on the HBO tv cable networks at 9:00pm, while app users will have to wait until 10:00pm to watch it via the app. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I didn’t think I was going to like us being on it but I enjoyed it.

Idk if that is accurate. I watched it right at 9PM on the app on my PS5.

So will no wind in the new stadium take away a key advantage in the playoffs?

 

 

Have you seen how Josh plays in a dome??

 

Think of the Rams and Lions games last year.

 

Anything that keeps the wind off the field is advantage Bills, and not being a dome preserves the cold weather advantage as well.

Emotional. I will admit, I have hated on this regime at times, mostly frustrated

from a lack of playoff success. But it’s emotional to see these guys. Great guys, love the game, so easy to like. Proud of them and what we have built. 

I have hated on this regime “at times” is like saying the Mississippi River flows south “at times”.

 

Glad you have some positivity.  You should keep it going.

It's available on HBO Max in Australia as part of a Foxtel subscription. It has previously been aired on ESPN but not sure if that will be the case this year.

Perhaps it’s different on other platforms for the app, but I’ve never been able to watch a show on the app when it was first showing on the HBO cable networks. Indeed, while I was watching it at 9 on Spectrum cable, my brother had to wait until that airing was over until he could watch it on the HBOMAX app. I wonder if others around here who couldn’t watch it on the app initially were able to at 10pm.
