The Bills are clearly the superior team, but it just looks like they’re sleep walking this game. These games are never as sharp as normal Sunday games.

Should be mandatory that teams get a BYE. Playing on 3 days rest is just dumb.

Yup. Then teams would love playing, because they would then get a mini bye after the game as well.

Ya it’s a close game, but it’s just so damn messy.

It should be opening week and then start up after the bye weeks start

Dude didn't even pretend to look at anyone else on the field. That was about as telegraphed as it could be.

The offense is too gimicky. Tua is doing something every drop back. He’s looking off or PA or always something. It’s never just a drop back pass. It’s ridiculous

Fast forward 10 years and we will have 18 game seasons and Thursday night games will be hosted on different continents or played in places with insane elevation like Mexico City

I think eventually there will be games every night of the week. You could theoretically have international games on tues / wed or something like that. Tuesday is “UK night” or something to that effect

I agree, which is a big reason I think it always falls flat by the end of the season.

With that said, I don’t think Tua can be a successful QB without it. He was real bad before McDaniel showed up.

Tua just doesn’t excel at any aspect of the game. Weak arm, tiny, not a fast decision maker, average mobility and accuracy.

I think for Tua to excel, he needs to be in a gimmicky offense that is very timing based. Because when things aren’t on perfect time, we see what we get from Tua. He can’t read or manipulate a defense and he doesn’t have the arm to make plays

The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 will never let that happen.

Dolphins look like they need a rebuild Hill and Tua aren't on the same page anymore clearly once again The AFC East is ruled by one team this time it's Buffalo. It's probably the worst division right now

Chances of Jayden Daniels missing Sunday's game? Heard Mina Kimes say he's got a nagging knee injury and they don't want to play him hurt and it turns into something worse

Chances are 100%, he is already ruled out. Mariota getting the start.

Sucks bc Daniels is my fantasy QB.

Well after close to 30 years of being a die hard Vikings fan, I’m just about done.

Just listened to 2 different Vikings podcasts saying it’s time to move on from KOC, that he’s falling McCarthy and we need a coach that needs to know how to call plays and handle QBs. And searching around social media, this seems to be a pretty common talking point.

Buffalo Bills bandwagon, here I come!!! I also think it’s fair hopping from an NFC team that is 0-4 in Super Bowls to an AFC team that is also 0-4 in Super Bowls

Haha just not worth getting this mentally involved every year just to find new ways to get heartbroken. Vikings and Duke are the only two sports teams that get me this way. But at least with Duke there is a chance they win a championship once every decade. Vikings will never win a championship in my lifetime.

So being a casual Bills fan, sure does sound pretty dang good right now

Just go full scope into the NBA. Turn your back on football and really sink your teeth into the nuances of current NBA landscape.
