Shawn Smith is the referee for this week. 

I saw “Shawn” and “referee” in the same sentence and my heart sank for a milli second.

My excitement level for this game went up 10x when I found out it was at 715. These late starts are brutal.

Didn’t the Falcons lose 30-0 to the Panthers? That doesn’t sound very good, am I missing something?

 

The few times i’ve watched Penix i’ve been so unimpressed. But i’m guessing with the Bills hands-off cushiony secondary he will have a nice completion %.  Someone needs to step up with a pick. Thats what happened to him in the Panthers game.

Anything on after Matlock is tough, amirite

Epenesa and Bosa have both been great rushing the passer this year. If Ed can provide the interior rush we’ve been lacking the sacks could start piling up.

We really missed Oliver this past week.  It would be big if he was back for this next one.

 

On an unrelated note - I forgot how quickly the national media can bail on you when you have a bad game.  I've seen some already calling it a "passing of the torch" to the Pats.

 

Would be cool to see them lose to the Saints & us win this one convincingly on Monday.  If only to see the "analysts" do backflips frantically.

Totally agree!  With two kids in high school, it's great to have the game at 7:15 vs. 8:20 on a school night.  Makes a big difference in my book.

Those Falcons uniforms remind me of the ones from the 80's. I got to watch the first half of the 1983 game of Bills verse Falcons in one of the dugouts at the old Fulton County Stadium. My grandfather was for the Bills in the 70's and 80's and we would get sideline passes when the Bills came to Atl. I had no clue how special a treat that was as a kid.

I mean the media needs something to talk about. Membah when the Jets signed Rodgers and they were the favorites to win the division? How’d that go? Membah when we most all them defensive players and people were taking Miami to win the division? How’d that one play out? This year it’s the Pats and Drake Maye to make it interesting, we’ll see how it turns out.

This will be another “tougher than expected game” for the Bills…Gotta have our “A” game this week.

 

IMO we should be playing our "A" game every week. None of this playing down to the opponent crap. That just leads to bad things and even losses to opponents that we shouldn't lose to sometimes.

On a side note, I found this chart on X from "fantasy points data" that I found interesting, so I thought I would share.

What's a membah?

Atlanta Falcons' defense is better than our previous opponent, New England Patriots. Our defense better step up to win. Look for our MVP QB Josh Alien to rebound.

 

Atlanta Falcons' offense is pretty bad. Then again, our defense is abysmal at stopping the run.

 

I can see Atlanta Falcons winning this one.
