Hamilton definitely got like a finger on the ball. He played a whale of a game.

It was. Anything could have happened with that rushed set up and the kick was nearly blocked. But you gotta' love the execution and the result. A walk off FG was fitting given all the missed two pointers.

Yes that’s exactly what I mean. I presume there’s enough tickets left @tom webster? Once confirmed I’ll DM you @JoeSchmoe

The angle from behind looked like he may have gotten a little bit of it; the ball may have changed direction a little on the way. I think I saw that he only needs like 6 rushing TDs this year to have the record (or some top-N) for TDs in the first 8 years. There are 4 guys like Marshall Faulk and whatnot on the list ahead of him. Sure, different eras but wild.

Why terrifying? There were about 25 seconds left when the O raced off the field and the kicking team raced on. They were fully set with at least 10, and more likey 15, seconds left in the game. Everybody knew they wouldn't snap it until at most 4 seconds were left (that's how long FG attempts typically run off the clock). Ball went up a little lower than Prater probably wanted for a kick that short, but it was true and Hamilton was unable to get his good mitt on the ball. And in their last home opener ever in the stadium Ralph had built, they won one for the ages.

TCU did something like that a couple years ago. Considering this is the first game of the season, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a drill they ran in preseason and was still relatively fresh on everyone's minds, so *they* knew what they were doing but no one else (fans, broadcasters) did. After mismanaging much of the game to that point (3 failed 2 point conversions in particular), I felt that the coaching was perfect at the end.

Thanks, but I can mail or drop it off myself

^ This is wrong. Sounds like you are a casual football fan and not watching very closely. He is top 2 the league right now and already destroying the NFL record books, and that is without any HoF level receivers and running backs on his team so far. How many players elevate their team like him, just a very few.

This sounds awesome. Wish I could be there, I would break my boycott. Go Bills!

The winning field goal setup was terrifying. And exquisite.

He passed Thurman Thomas for career rushing TDs last night, too!

Never sleep on the Bills. (I was watching at the Bills Backers bar here and if I had a better waiter I would have missed it too. I was going to call for my check but he didn't come around for a while and that got me to stay until things got interesting at the end.) Even then...

Here's one for you: Josh Allen holds the record for the most total touchdowns (passing + rushing) in a player's first eight seasons, with 262 touchdowns through his first eight years in the NFL. Last night's game was the first game of his 8th season, and he already held the record before kickoff.

I just checked the Sabre site and it noted that the start date hasn’t officially been given yet. The first preseason game is against Columbus on Sept. 22. I suspect camp will start next week.

Even then...

Nevermore...

They weren’t wrong. Take it easy on Skynet, they might forgive you later.

I’ll add you to the preliminary list. Thanks.

Went to bed thinking they had lost. What a happy surprise!

Add this: Hamilton came really close to ripping our hearts out.

That was satisfying.

I've watch a lot of football, about 40 years worth. I've seen the majority of the "greats" playing during their "great" years, and IMO Josh has the potential to best ALL of them!!!! Sadly, if he doesn't get that one specific piece of hardware he'll be misremembered as you've described him. It's an unfair, yet somehow validated in the court of public opinion, measuring stick. See: Dan Marino Regardless of what the future holds for Mr Allen, I'm soaking up as much of his career as I can, as the likelihood of a unicorn to his level ever dropping into WNY to play QB for my beloved Bills in my lifetime, is next to null! He's WHY Buffalo is on the "map" again!

NOT the sort of game that allows for good sleep, afterwards 😃😃😃

Apparently machine learning gave the Ravens a 99% chance of winning Never trust the bots 😀
