Probably the reason other metros are building domed stadiums is because the expense is justified. Erie County is the 60th most populous county in the United States. Buffalo is the 82nd largest city. Buffalo is smaller than such "major cities" as Bakersfield and Fresno... Omaha and Corpus Christi... Buffalo has about the same population as Fort Wayne and is barely bigger than Toledo, Ohio. There were how many concerts in Highmark last year? I seriously doubt that there are any stadium-caliber performers who are going to want to come to Buffalo in December to play a concert... even if it's in a domed stadium. I'd bet that when you crunch the numbers and compare the added cost of a domed stadium versus the additional revenues possible from non-NFL events, that the numbers don't pencil out. Comparatively, the Kansas City metro area is over 2 million people. The Chiefs will get a domed stadium if that's what they want. And I'm sure these numbers are well-known to those whose business it is to know them.

So many here wish we could back in time and draft Ladd McConkey, but most NFL scouts believe Keon’s best usage would be similar to that of… Ladd McConkey. Keon can win outside in certain alignments, and against smaller corners, if I’m Allen and see no Safety shaded his way, I’m throwing that jump ball down the sideline ala against Arizona, every time. But with his big body able to shield defenders and what he showed in the gauntlet, getting him in quick hitters and in space, could truly unlock him. Issue, of course, being Shakir, Kincaid, Knox.. our RB’s also all play in that area. Maybe have Palmer as the primary outside receiver, Shakir is the primary slot, and then Coleman, Samuel and Moore as guys who have position flex.

He doesn't want to get raked over the coals by Josh twice a year. He also knows we run the division and wants no parts of a team going nowhere really.

Unless you have your own definition of rampant that no one else is familiar with, your post is a hoax. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ Many, many everyday Americans have 401k accounts. Despite the predictions of calamity (all of them hoaxes at this point) from you and your sort those retirement accounts are doing nicely YTD. Another hoax though I’m sure you have your own interesting view of “quality of life” for everyday Americans. Despite your record being atrocious up to now, there’s a reasonable chance you will eventually be right. Enjoy.

He was.. but is he still? Tre, at least, has reason to believe he could bounce back now a full season removed from serious injury. Douglas had no major injury.. he just fell off.. and was a massive liability for us last year.

But there is pole dancing? So there’s that.

When we signed him my take was that I think he's washed and I didn't think it would be good for the team if he was in line to start. None of the training camp reports have really changed my mind on that. I don't know if he can ever be even close to the player he was before. Still that quote makes me root for him.

Even with a Dome, would we have played those games at home? Players, coaches, tv crews, other team etc all need to be able to get to the stadium. Nevermind the fact the fans may or may not be under travel restrictions. Bigger worry for me is a game like we had years back, red uniforms in a blizzard. Super cool when your team isn’t playing in it.. not so much if we’re in a Super Bowl push, playing for seeding and trying to avoid serious injuries.

I live in Dallas and went to the old cowboys stadium. It was loud, rowdy, and a true home field advantage. The new domed stadium reminds me of an airport terminal and for the cowboys it is almost like a neutral field.

After I went to the Bills Dolphins heat game a few seasons ago. I will never go there for a day game again unless it’s December🤦‍♂️

Coleman recorded the fastest speed of his group in the gauntlet during the combine. He may not be able to out run defenders , but he can out maneuver them IMO.

Yes. With a travel ban officials and necessary personnel can’t get to the stadium. Police and EMS are out assisting people and can’t justify using them at the stadium. Not to mention getting the players there safely. Lots going on when a blizzard hits.

May not seem like it but compared to Buffalo. Philly is a world class city. Lots of corporate HQ’s, big population, Big downtown, complete with skyscrapers, financial hub, tons of hotel rooms, large international airport. Yes if they build a nice new dome stadium they will get a SB eventually and some huge events there. Buffalo never would have.

This is a legitimate question, if there had been a dome in Buffalo, do you think those games would have still been played in Detroit?

I think this is the first summer in 3 that Tre wasn‘t rehabbing some injury. That’s a big deal especially as players get older. Tre White Goalie Academy is back!

If sitting outside in an open air stadium is what you deem being macho, then we have vastly different definitions of what being macho is. But for me this issue has always been about practicality. How practical is it for an economically depressed area to invest a couple billion into a building that will only be used what, 12 times a year? When our area could use that funding for infrastructure improvements, hospital & school improvements, etc as that list can go on & on. I will likely always view this stadium deal as a failure of imagination & civic planning, as a lost opportunity to create an actual destination that generates real revenues for our community 12 months a year. As opposed to now where its just on game days during the season. Part of this is due to it not having a roof of some sort, another due to the lack of a plan to create more of a destination with the stadium & surrounding facilities at large, that would bring more of a return on this multi-billion investment. We had an opportunity to make something special that could truly impact our community & in the end we built a stadium with less seats next to the old one. It all just seems like small thinking at a premium price.

You do understand those games couldn’t have been played because of the county being in a state of emergency?

is a failure. Inflation is rampant, wars in Gaza and Ukraine, quality of life not improving for everyday Americans. But that swimmer who likes to whine now finished fourth in that race.

I’d be very curious to see how the survey turns out. Do the taxpayers want to pay for this? How many want to throw in the extra billion for a dome? People who say we should have a dome in Buffalo (which I would actually appreciate as an old guy who hates the cold) have to consider how much extra they would be willing to pay personally in PSL and ticket costs. What is the guy sitting next to them willing to tolerate? This isn’t a “right or wrong” issue to me, just a matter of personal preference.

Guys guys guys. It's only 3 days of camp. The facts right now are that Josh is going to make a fantastic back up quarterback this year. Mike white looks sharp and Mitch is a luxury. We're in good hands.

MetLife Stadium in New Jersey

veterans having good training camps doesnt move the needle for me tbh it's a comfortable environment from what i saw of white last year im expecting a micah hyde 2024 role
