I like how Stefon Diggs has basically resurrected his career too there. I liked him as a Vikings fan before, but his true potential has been revealed playing in Buffalo the last couple seasons.

 

The Patriots were clearly the top dog in that division for a long time and no one can argue with the success they had, but those days are OVER. The Bills own that division now.

Diggs is awesome and a huge boost for Josh's confidence

and career, IMO, giving him a top tier target. Still remember

the sticky hands life insurance commercial that took off

after that miracle game with the Viks.

He's etched into Viking lore here with that play forever.  Arguably the biggest moment in the history of the franchise (even if the following week was a dud).

I remember my jaw hitting the floor when he went up and came

away with that catch, defender's ankles broken, and Diggs for 6.

Was a crazy moment. So glad he's a Bill.

 

BTW!!! I was surprised for my birthday (8/26)!!! My wife and 2 of

my sons took me down to Charlotte for the Bills game vs. Panthers.

A dud for the Bills, granted, but I was totally in the dark. Such an

awesome gift. Baker was decent against the Bills 2nds, LOL. And 

HOLY Sh*take Mushrooms, the number of Bills fans in that stadium

was staggering. Bills shout song was echoing everywhere. What a

fan base. #BillsMafia

Looking forward to Thursday night.  Bills at Rams to start the season!

[roadwarrior]

Always excited about the opener regardless of who is playing.

Little sloppy on the turnovers by both teams, but clearly the Bills are already in mid-season form.  They are a well-oiled machine on offense.  But what caught my eye the most was their defense.  If that defense plays well this season, hard to imagine them losing more than a couple games.  And what is really kind of odd too is that they essentially do it without any real running game other than their QB.  Their RBs are a bit of a joke.

Agree! Stoked for the season. @gimruis turnovers sloppy, yes,

and Josh needs to be cautious. Bills aren't the same w/o him.

 

I thought the RBs had a decent night with pounding yards. But

yeah, Josh led the team in rushing, so....

I saw a couple hit Allen took while running and thought to myself it’s only a matter of time before he gets hurt which won’t be good.

 

On a positive note his stiff arm on the Rams defender was pretty awesome. Basically just threw the guy down!

 

His TD pass to Diggs in the third quarter was pretty awesome too. The guys pretty much running full speed, sees digs open, and throws it down the field pretty much spot on was impressive.

Pay a guy $258 million just to lose to a team lead by Geno Smith ?. Could be a rough next few years for the Broncos at that rate.

? I don't know why Wilson doesn't run that much anymore. I know he's older, but he used to be so effective.

Bills are looking good again tonight! 

[Darren.]

So I'm that guy, that Bills fan who paces every single game.

I don't like all the hype (but deep inside I love that we're 

finally a national story again rather than an embarrassment).

 

I am going into each game thinking it's a toss up. Why?

Because every year ... any given Sunday (or Mon/Thurs).

 

Going in to face the Dolphins, I'm a bit scared of the speed

twins at wide receivers.... But Tua.

It's the PTSD of past seasons. I'm the same way with the Chiefs. I don't know how to accept them being good, so I go into every game thinking they'll figure out a way to lose. I can't bring myself to watch the games most of the time because I'm just a big ball of nerves and I don't like it. 

 

The Bills look to me like the team to beat, but it seems like every year there is a team that comes out blazing hot that fizzles out down the stretch (the Cardinals last year). I'm thinking they're a complete enough team that won't be an issue though.

I think its going to be a shoot out next Sunday in Miami.

 

The Bills are an easy team to cheer for.  A lot of casual football fans could easily jump on their band wagon given how much heart ache the fan base has endured.  #Billsmafia

 

The Allen to Diggs connection was unstoppable last night lol

[roadwarrior]

I am an Original Chiefs Fan, season ticket holder when the AFC first started and

the Chiefs moved to Kansas City. Back in the 60's the Chiefs were always in the

hunt, the first "World Championship" and then winning Super Bowl IV. That was

my senior year in high school.  My high school, Raytown South, won the State 

High School Basketball title that year, too.

 

So, 50 YEARS LATER, the Chiefs won again!  I think they will dominate as 

long as Patrick is the quarterback. Plus, he is really fun to watch, Chiefs fan or 

not.

Glad I'm not alone! ?

I think the Bengals are in trouble.  The defending AFC Champs have a big hole to dig out of already.  Burrow is under assault way too much.

Patrick is classy. He and Josh are buds. Great for the league

even tho I hate him otherwise. 13 seconds! Might as well have

been an eternity for us Bills fans. Whoever won the toss was 

going to move on. Great warriors of the NFL. Battle for primacy.

 

These are good times.

Yeah they couldn’t block for him last year either, i.e. last play of the super bowl

 

the team that loses a super bowl almost always has a rough following season 

 

the bengals aren’t “in trouble,” if they only win 2 games this year it will be just like the last 30 years

Super Bowl hangover.  I think they are a very talented team, especially on offense.
