Seems reasonable. Giants do play us hard.

It would have been real possible for #1 had we not dropped the Seahawks game, doubtful the 49ers lose 2 of those last 3, and the only way the Rams play hard on the last game is if the 49ers lose to Ravens and Commanders.

Cowboys at Dolphins (go Fins)
Lions at Cowboys (Lions could win)
Cowboys at Commanders

Ravens at 49ers
49ers at Commanders
Rams at 49ers

I agree that it should have roof.

I think the fan base was 50/50 on the new stadium being covered.

At $1.7B it should have a roof

I don't think the weather is as much of an advantage as they think it is.

Probably won't get to host a Super Bowl because of the open air.

It happens in every NFL city if that city doesn't knuckle under to the 32 billionaires and build a new playpen.

Baltimore,Cleveland,Houston,Oakland,St Louis,Los Angeles are the more recent ones.

Did you know the Dallas Texans became the KC Chiefs? it was way back in 1963 .

So they all move to a city that does knuckle under...

Dean Spanos never seriously wanted to keep the team in San Diego. He was always looking at the bigger LA market, where now he will always play 2nd fiddle to the Rams.

Thank God we had Ralph and now the Pegulas to keep the Bills (and the Sabres) in Buffalo.

I don't think hosting a Super Bowl would ever seriously be on the table even with a roof. Can you imagine 70,000 out of town fans trying to get to the stadium in 3 feet of snow?

They did it in Minnesota and Indy

Before the game yesterday my GF says most of the talking heads are predicting a blowout.

I laughed and said it will be a lot closer than people think due to a variety of factors (10 days to prepare, new coach ,short week for the Bills ,travel to the west coast ,playing a 4 win team after an emotional win , ect)

I said I would be very happy if they win by one point...get er done and get home with no new injuries.

So after the game she says"you must be real happy they won by two" I told her I was ecstatic

A win is a win and it goes in the "W" column and its "not how" its "how many" at the end of the year

Go Cowboys

Funny headline on Buffalo Rumblings

Watch: Josh Allen, an actual buffalo, runs for a TD and the lead

PoorMansCamaro · 12-24-2023, 07:37 PM

Dolphins beat a winning team! Yay! Can’t wait for the goalpost to move!

102SS · 12-25-2023, 04:26 PM

Well almost every game fell the Bills way except the Fins game.

Now they need a 49ers win over the Ravens tonight.

This would put pressure on the Dirty Birds to beat the Fins next week to preserve home field advantage.

That would then put pressure on the Fins when the Bills play them in two weeks for the AFCE crown

BTW wasn't it great to see Kermit running for his life today?

Then YELLING at his teammates and Mr Swift throwing his helmet.

They look like a team thats imploding

Awesome stuff

FarmerFran · 12-25-2023, 08:05 PM

Another game to the last freaking play.

EAGLES 11 - 4

102SS · 12-26-2023, 06:41 AM

Ok I think its time to open up the MVP talk and you know who I am going to vote for and to me its not biased it is based on stats....how much do you really mean to your team.

Well to me points scored should tell the story...what matters in a game? the score of course.

So here it is my MVP list in order of points scored(TD passes plus rush TD'd gets my totals)

JA17 240 points

Hurts 210

Dak 192

Purdy 186

Tua 156

Lamont 144

Some position players are in the convo

CMC 126

Mostart 126

Hill 72

Some kickers for clarity

Tucker 135

Sanders 121

Bass 109

Like the NHL and NBA scoring needs to matter to me its the true evaluation of the NFL's best player.

I understand what you`re saying and it`s true that scorers get the attention and press and are usually considered for MVP, but defensive players have also won MVP honors. (Bruce Smith the king of Bills Mafia Nation!!!)

The '85 Chicago Bears defense is often the standard against which all great defenses are measured.
Sports fans like high scoring games and defensive games are boring. I also like watching a team with a shut down defense.

I sat through a Browns 6 vs Bills 3 game during the drought in 40 degree weather with rain.

I think I would rather have had a root canal in hind sight

Skeletor was the coach then (Dick Jauron)

Here is the game recap The Browns QB Derek Anderson went 2/17 with an int(he played the whole game)

Pretty sure the mvp is Tua’s to lose. And yes, that’s my bias talking

If anyone other than Tua, had his numbers, they would be the talk of the town. And everyone knows it.

Numbers:

Tua Tagovailoa NFL Ranks in Passing Stats

Yards = 1st
Yards Per Attempt = 2nd
Yards Per Game = 2nd
Completion % = 1st (only QB in the 70%s)
Passer Rating = 2nd
Passing 1st Downs = 2nd
TD= T-6th
8 QBs have more Interceptions

No other QB has better overall numbers. And his team has the 2nd best record. He just needs to win out to put the last nail in the coffin.
