Does the NFL have any plans to make footballs from plants?  Or, at least make footballs from humanely raised organic free range pigs?

I think it will be a race between the NY Jets and NE Patriots to finish at the bottom of the AFC East.

The reluctance to formally name offensive and defensive coordinators is a tell that they have nothing. 

This is another "rebuilding" year that Brady was desperate to avoid in the waning days of his career, hence, one reason why he left.

Von Miller leaves SuperBowl Champion RAMS to join the BILLS

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- There's a voice in Von Miller's head during the big moments. At the end of games, when his team needs a play and everything is on the line.

Up by 3 with 1:25 left in Super Bowl LVI last February, the Los Angeles Rams defense needed a stop. All game long, Miller -- then a Rams outside linebacker -- had been setting the Cincinnati Bengals up to use his ghost move in the pass rush.

Finally, it was time to unleash it.

"You can do it. You are a pro. This is what you were made for," Miller likes to tell himself.

"It's that voice in your head. I want to do everything I possibly can to put myself in a good situation," Miller said. "It's all positive talk cause I've done everything I possibly could do to be successful."

Miller and defensive tackle Aaron Donald combined for four sacks and 11 QB pressures in the Super Bowl victory. Miller, who tied Charles Haley for the most career sacks in Super Bowl history (4.5), thrived in the postseason when Los Angeles needed him most -- his postseason pass rush win rate of 41.5% was the highest by a player in a single postseason (with a minimum of 30 pass rush plays) since ESPN started tracking that metric in 2017

Considering they were a wild-card team this past year, that surprises me a little bit. You'd think that they'd have a little more faith in the team they have after that. I mean, even Brady had years where he was bounced early in the playoffs.

But then again, a big function of that is the division competition and Buffalo is STACKED (which I never thought I'd ever see them be favorites; I'm waiting for how this can go wrong, because it ALWAYS seems to), plus Miami is a wildcard contender, anyway. The Jets, well, they're gonna Jets.

WOW!

The Buffalo Bills take the opening drive of the season and 'walk' into the end zone

Is this an omen?  Who in the hell needs THAT kind of pressure and expectation at THIS time??

Iowa and South Dakota State set football back 100 years...




No touchdowns were scored in this game.

Did you catch some of the pregame festivities last night?

Marv Levy, 97 years young, showed up with Kelly, Bruce and several others.

You have to say this about the Bills Mafia: it's a family, from the fans through the alumni and the current team. You just don't get that kind of loyalty very many other places.

@jmyrlefuller

First, you have to understand the winter elements in Western New York on Lake Erie. 

Add the fact, it's an open air stadium not a dome.

The Bills Mafia are simply very loyal fans who have cried for decades and now have started to smile and feel good.
And every woman I know is in love with Josh Allen.  Jersey and all!

Jim Kelly and Levy took the BILLS to 4 CONSECUTIVE SUPER BOWLS!!!   

To accomplish that feat in contrast with current statistics...truly awesome. 

The only negative about the BILLS' franchise is what O.J. Simpson did to the brand.

I think the Bills are the team to beat in the AFC East.

The Patriots having two offensive co-ordinators is a terrible idea.  They might be able to make a run for a Wild Card if their defense improves during the season, and they avoid the injury bug.

Coach Belichick was a defensive coach under Bill Parcells.  Offense is not his strong point.

Now if they can only stay healthy!

Injuries are always the wildcard when it comes to success. And lately the Bills have been lucky. But this year, they've had quite a few.

Just found out that the BILL-DOLPHINS game at 1PM on CBS will NOT be a nationally televised game.

Think here in D.C. we'll get the RAVENS-PATRIOTS (to soothe the Balt/Wash corridor/region)
or the CHIEFS-COLTS...and who gives a sh*t about that one??  LOL!
