Our seats were the last row of the lower bowl, backing directly against the suites. Not only were we covered, but the people in the suite almost always opened it up so we got some climate control and some peeks at their monitors. That confused the wind as much as possible. I want to go see those seats if/when I get back for a game this year. They were not on the aisle, maybe 1/3 in, but they were sweet seats and full of great memories! I must say, that only partly made up for our seats under the seam in the roof at the Rockpile. When it rained the water collected on poured down on us like it was shot out of a fire hose! 🤣

No worries in the new stadium, the wind will be confused.

Better, consult the Bible on the concept of Papacy, and the history of that office. Got me.

It's not the Vatican that's the problem. trump doesn't care what I think. He doesn't care what you think. My congressman is a maga and my D senator wasn't allowed in the VA hospital for an inspection recently. Not much a normal citizen can do in an authoritarian state until Nov 26, if trump hasn't banned elections by then.

Ernest Wolford I believe? Somehow caught that ball with the half the team on him 😢. That was my sadness opener for sure. That one was awful as well. Didn’t we tie that one late in fairly improbable fashion as well?

How big are these people? 😦

Me, my brother and 3 of my Samoan teammates in HS played 8-man football... it was a SUPER small school in a small town in Nevada. We all earned full-athletic scholarships for D-1 football. I had to walk on, but earned a scholarship after my red-shirt year. My graduating class in Highschool had 32 people in it.

This was my early days as a Bills fan since I was 13/14 so it was a bummer but my investment wasn’t the same so can’t compare. But Bledsoe coming was super big deal

I don't understand what you're trying to say. It sounds like you're making the argument that his skill wasn't worth the draft pick a team would have to use on him concerning his character. if so, I think that's the consensus among NFL folks. However, I think it also came out that as a player he's not nearly as strong a prospect as others in the draft, so there are also real football concerns. Regardless, It's hard to understand how a 5th round pick could possibly be a meaningful distraction to your football team. He's not going to be getting interviews when he's inactive on game days, and veteran leaders int he lockeroom won't be pushing for him to get starting reps unless he comes out and tears it up. In which case, win for the Browns.

I’m going to be honest. I tried reading through and responding to stuff but it was so long I probably missed things so I apologize in advance. Yes Josh is great but last year he was special including the lowest percentage of plays with a sack, interception or fumble since the NFL merger. Which is why he won the MVP instead of being a runner up. On top of that we had the best turnover differential since 2013. Both of those will regress to the mean and giving the ball up more and getting it back less will reduce our scoring. So I really wanted the Bills to try to upgrade the WR room this year and in the future by drafting some WRs that may develop into good players for us to even things out. Josh averaged his highest scramble rate and time to throw since at least 2020. Those both are because he had to get more done with a cast of blah skill position players that were not getting separation well. I also think If anything we have had to overpay for WRs in trades for Cooper and in free agency for marginal players in Samuel and now Palmer because we have not added young WRs to the team. So to circle back to the topic of this thread. Start drafting WRs starting next year. It’s good business. I hope everything works out this year with the improved defense.

Saw Brubeck at the Montreal Jazz Fest...man could he still play well into his late 80s.

If you went to a big enough high School I would assume you probably know some division 1 athletes in some sports If you went to a school with 60 people I understand probably not But yes being a division 1 scholarship athlete is extremely impressive whether you're at an FCS School University at Buffalo Syracuse or Alabama

“Inside”being the key word. New stadium is a dome downtown right?

His interviews of late are kind of…..eerie?

Same. Although I've been to some cold winter games where I greatly appreciated having people on both sides of me to absorb some wind.

No, I'm correct...I usually am. Generally speaking, a staunch traditionalist wouldn't like Biden for his abortion stance, mockery of the Pope or Holy See, but certainly wouldn't approve of Trump reposting a meme as Pope. I don't think there's all that much anger, though certainly I can see far-lefty-leaning folk like you would pretend to get riled up. But if you're really upset, stop dithering and do something about it. Schedule a meeting with Cardinal Dolan through one of your comic book club contacts. Write the Vatican. Because regardless of our differences--I'd be happy to never see the WH repost a dopey meme again.

Brother, I appreciate the general sentiment of your posts. But I seriously doubt 17 has the psyche to go Full Ari Gold (as when Mrs Ari went back to acting).

These are the type of fun prospects that you bring into training camp!

It was round 2 but Troup was viewed as a third round talent the Bills reached on when they had a super high end TE prospect (and a bad need for a TE) that was from Buffalo right there. The worst moves a team you are a fan of can make are the ones that seem bad at the time.

Got data? Rhetorical question.

If it were a high school production of Oklahoma or something you might get some drama. I don’t think we have to worry here.

Home opener 2017. We do a big Bills party every year (since 2014) with family and friends. The game was billed as the toilet bowl as expectations were so low between the Jets & Bills. Yet it was a truly beautiful fall day, the game was very exciting and fun, and it was the start of the whole change even if we did not know it.

Our division will not be good, but will be better than last yr. Pats in particular

Preseason is going to be the thing. When the browns put him in during the 4th quarter in the second game, and he throws a 6 yard completion (final stat line, 1/3 for 6 yards, 2 sacks) the media pressure to force the Browns to have him as the starter after that will be unlike anything we've ever seen. Mel Kiper will threaten to retire (or worse!) unless Cleveland does what all the very smartest NFL pundits already decided was going to happen

It is not perfect by any means but it is also the best guide available for reasonable guesses on the year and who may be good
