Open thread about the Buffalo Bills' first half at the Seattle Seahawks

The Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks are ready for kickoff, and that means we're all ready to buckle up and enjoy the ride over the next few hours. With a win, Buffalo would move to 6-2 and maintain strong control of the AFC East Division. Seattle can move to 5-3 with a win and maintain control of the NFC West Division.

The last time these teams met was in 2020 and there were many attacks. Buffalo ultimately won a shootout and prevailed against the strong Seattle team with a 44:34 victory. This game took place in the friendly facilities of Highmark Stadium. When these teams last met in Seattle, we have to go back in time to the days of Rex Ryan and Tyrod Taylor. Buffalo narrowly lost 31-25, which could have been very different if a ridiculous series of events hadn't taken place at the end of the first half.

This time, Josh Allen will look to lead a Buffalo offense that seemed to be finding its breakthrough last week against a stout Tennessee Titans defense. Seattle quarterback Geno Smith will be without their best receiver as DK Metcalf will miss the game due to a knee injury he suffered last week.

Your first semi-open thread is here, friends. Make sure you are polite to each other. Switch comments to oldest for that classic game thread feel. And most importantly, enjoy the game no matter where you watch it.

Come on, bills!
