Idc about the CFL. My birthplace team would technically be the Bills. I watch Bills game frequently as well. That said Uncle who is a die hard Broncos fan also has a rooting interest in the Bills and had season tickets thoughout the 90’s. When we watch football in his garage the Broncos are on one and the Bills are on the other.

Sorry for being a Broncos fan. If I was a Browns fan this whole discussion doesn’t even matter and instead of ridiculing me for living in Toronto and being a fan of a team residing in the state of Colorado you probably shove the fact the Bills were more successful then the Browns. To each their own.

Even the Argos have championships If Buffalo wasn’t so close to the border they probably don’t even have any professional sports teams right now and that’s a fact.

Your probably right

I bet your uncle liked flutie? Big influx of Canadian fans at the Ralph. Fun times.

That helped save the team in the late 90's for sure.

It’s a fact he probably owns a Rocket Ismail jersey. I think it is pretty awesome if he does.

I stumbled on some AAF highlights from over the weekend on Youtube today. My biggest takeaway is that the Starter still exists as a company.

I thought those jackets had been relegated to 90s cops episodes, but yes that was shocking

Steelers are imploding. Ben sucks. Bell and Brown are out the door. Marcus Mariota still plays QB for the Titans so no problems there. Texans will be good and are a threat but could lose Clowney which will hurt. Cleveland/Baltimore is who I’m worried about. Be interesting to see how the Ravens do with a full season of Lamar with teams having a full offseason to prepare for the read option.

Wait, what? The guy who threw for 5129 yards(led the league) and 34 TD last year?

I think the WC goes to Texans and Chargers.

How many players from 3 years ago will be on the field in 2020?

Same for coaches

Football teams are assigned at birth. If you born/ live in the Toronto area you are an argonauts fan.

At 23 years of age, you can't just pick the best team from when you were a kid and pretend that "you" won

How many (frank)ing Yankees fans live in/are from Buffalo are fans for that exact reason?

Looked real good choking away a 3 game division lead this past season. Has turned the ball over in critical moments quite frequently the past few seasons. Had Antonio Brown and JuJu at his disposal this year and James Connor filled in admirably for Bell up until he got hurt. He doesn’t have it anymore. Still a good QB but nowhere near the guy he was even 2-3 years ago.

Wasn’t a beatdown. More of a people forget how steady Staal has been throughout his career.
- dadeadhead


He's still underrated. He had 42 goals last year. 37 points in 56 games at 34 is pretty damn good too. And he plays less than 18 minutes a night.

Would you have rather just signed big ben or joe flacco?

Flacco isnt nearly as good as he was 2-3 years ago either.

Flacco stood on the sideline (healthy) and backed up a rookie. (Marginal rookie)

They had 3 losses where they scored 28, 30 and 37 points, but yeah, let's blame the QB. On average that's more than every team but the Chiefs and Rams.

Just saying the Broncos will have a top 5 defense is a stretch too, they were tied for 12th in scoring defense(the only stat that matters).

Most of the personnel from that 2015 defense is still there sans Talib. Chubb will have the same impact that Ware had. The defense is the least of my worries. Vance Joseph couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag and Fangio is one of the best in the business.
