  1. I agree. It really doesn't look good. The current uniforms overall are terrific. If they want to do a 90s throwback uniform instead of the 1 color rush game, I wouldnt complain.
  2. Notre Dame should be disqualified from the playoffs with that schedule. 2 more away games? Looks like Florida state is absolute poo also.
  3. Best game of the weekend, with Vt/vandy a close 2nd
  4. I noticed there was a sudden change in the early 2000s, for the worse. I had heard there was a split in the founders/owners and only 1 of the originals took over. The quality went downhill from that moment-on.
  5. Yeah, thats pretty much it. If they can get the $, then they are doing alright. While these teams are civic treasures, they shouldnt be mistaken as not-for-profit. When we have our experience (I am already annoyed with the lack of information to this point), we will be given our options. I am probably 50/50 if I am going to do it. There is a price point (and seat availability) where it wont be worth it. I really dont think the Bills owe me anything. I do feel a little miffed that we have to wait this long and have >20 year season ticket seniority. We wont have our "experience" until the end of the year (as of a few months ago).
  6. Going 16 bit and lower 1. Tecmo Super Bowl - Full NFL with NFLPA license with a robust season and stats. 2. Baseball Stars - ahead of its time for NES. Could create teams and players. Upgrade players with money, and could even make trades and sign free agents. Highly replayable. 3. NHL - 94. Had the best physics of any hockey game up to that date and we were hit with an NHL and NHLPA-licensed game. Was a huge step in the genre. Was a well balanced game if you out-lawed the cheap goals where you skated across the front of the net so the goalie went down. 4. PGA Tour Golf II. Built a more robust tournament/career mode from I, with better physics. Game was simpler and more fun to play than PGA Tour III or PGA Tour 96. PGA Tour II was perfection and can still be enjoyed today. 5. Evander Holyfield Real Deal Boxing - was a great boxing game for Sega with a good career mode with some RPG elements. Honorable Mention: Ice Hockey, Bases Loaded, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Pro Wrestling, Bill Lambeer's Combat Basketball, Ken Griffey Jr Baseball, Tony LaRussa Baseball. Baseball Simulator 1.000, Rugby World Cup '95 Overrated: Blades of Steel, RBI Baseball,
  7. I really wish we could have seen (by now) what a fan experience would look like for anyone not in the clubs. What do the concourses look like? What amenities in there as far as concessions, beer/mini bars? Is it open concourses everywhere? How does the seating look and general sight lines? Any other cool stuff planned like decor, Bills' history, local sports history, etc... This stuff would get me more pumped for this. These renderings of the rich and famous areas that have tens of thousands of dollars of a cover charge are not interesting to me, as I will likely never see the inside of these places, nor really care to.
  8. The bubble is going to bust hard when the Bills are back into purgatory. The only thing that sustained ticket sales through the drought was the fact that ticket prices were laughably cheap, and the stadium area was turned into a giant keg party. I suspect the club sales have been waning and they are a bit concerned as they rip through current club seat holders. There was an email blast yesterday, and now they show us these renderings. Their rendering game has been very strange on this project.
  9. I get trying to be austere and get through this season with all assets intact. Its probably time to swing for the fences at this point. Cant go into the season with the current WR room
  10. This WR room is worse than most drought-era teams. I like Beane, but he is negligent in this. It has been ignored for about 2-3 years now and its going to come to roost and waste at least another Josh Allen season Its tough to stomach them paying Diggs like $30 million not to play here in exchange for another DL or RB 2nd round pick next year.
  11. I just got a blast with 7 new renderings of all the club seat common areas. I think I have seen 3 (uninspiring) renderings of the entire stadium so far.
  12. I agree with this. Good attempt, but it just feels like too much of 2 colors. Looks OK on a forum page, but in practice, it wouldn't be a good logo. In hindsight, this was a pretty good attempt. I think our current sets are up there with the best in the league and near perfect... but this is a good logo, considering the terrible uniform design that was born out of this
  13. Hasek is the best goalie of all time. I'll die on that hill.
  14. I would think that the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stringers getting to play in the hall of fame game gave them a pretty big leg-up on the Bills' backups.
  15. The two biggest gaffes that led to his firing were 11 guys on the field, and the 2 Cover 0 blitzes.
  16. I'd be shocked if cleveland got a superbowl. I do think an indoor stadium makes more sense in Cleveland than buffalo. It's a bigger city and they should be able to pull more frequent marquee events (although the competition for those is pretty untenable at this point). It is also a better and more centralized market for larger and more frequent ncaa events. As an aside, they didn't need a roof for Summerslam
  17. I am rooting for him. Good guy and Buffalo Bill. However, I wonder how he is going to be when game-time happens. From experience, it was really difficult to come back and put equal pressure/responsibility on my injured knee. It took a lot of time to finally "trust" it mentally. This seems to be something that White struggled with for awhile after his first injury. Rehab and getting it to 100% is fairly quick. It's that getting into (NFL-level) game speed that is really tough. I cringe thinking about someone at that position (CB) coming back from an ACL reconstruction. I would think achilles isnt that different. CB is the toughest for this, because a player needs to react to the WR in coverage. Any other position can compensate/brace for movement that they are dictating. I could see this being a huge deal for a CB.
  18. While some teams probably lament the top of that draft (Browns, Jets, Giants, maybe Colts), its probably a lot worse for Broncos fans. That ended up a bad pick, and Allen really fits that franchise and locale. Allen was a pretty controversial pick at the time. A few days before the draft there was a big Allen to the Browns 1OA rumor and they were getting killed for it. Our fan base was really split over the choice. I had thought the Bills had been out-foxed by the Jets for Darnold, who is the guy the Bills really wanted (I still wonder if he was their most preferred QB). Really happy they didnt take Rosen, and he was the only thing I was sure of at the time. That guy was not a fit here at all, personality-wise.
  19. and 8th in the AFC. Im not sure what choice Miami really had here. Their window is now, and the alternatives are probably a downgrade from Tua. 4 Years is actually a manageable term. IMO if Tyreek Hill ever gets injured, that offense is going to short-circuit in an epic way.
  20. Great news and progress for her getting out there. Its tough to see. The last time we saw her, she was such a strong woman. This news of her health really hit me watching the video.
  21. This. It is Cashman and Hank. I feel like the Yankees are behind the times with team-building. They seem to be stuck between their 'brute-force' acquiring and paying players and also not. If you are going to pay, go all-out Dodgers. If not, maybe let Judge walk and use that money to fill 3-6 spots in the lineup/bullpen. Im a Cleveland fan. The amount of smart building they do, and have done over the years is mind-boggling. They are like a pitching factory, and they seem to trade players at the perfect time and get players in return who contribute in a few years time. Kluber, Clevinger, Bauer, even Lindor. The Yankees seem too tempted by and willing to keep paying players on their back-stretch. Data says the Yankees draft and develop well. Why isnt it translating? Or is the bar just too high? These collapses that seem to happen every year hurt perception. I like Boone. I feel like he is well respected amongst players, and he is basically a by-the-binder manager, which is and should be fine.
  22. I get annoyed when you see pre-season predictions (in any sport) and its basically a carbon-copy of the previous season. The Jets is a tough pick for the Super Bowl IMO. I also think the Packers-love is over-the top. The jets need to leapfrog several good teams in the AFC alone. Buffalo, Baltimore, Miami, Houston, KC, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and jacksonville. Can also include Pittsburgh in there who never seems to want to go-away. I do think the Jets can make some noise, but as we know, it is a brutal conference to get out of. I would eat my hat if the Jets are going to waltz in and be the team to up-end the Chiefs, especially on the road in the AFCC.
  23. It was horrible. We tried it one time with a large group we had on a bus. It was overpriced and more hassle than it was worth. We did it again this year (which isnt Tailgate Guys or whatever it was called), and it was even worse. Basically cordoned us off in a mostly empty lot. We might as well have been tailgating on the moon
  24. I agree with this. Even Sal would probably laugh if someone suggested he take that job. Murphy I thought was pretty bad. I didn't like how he would repeat things 3-4 times, and he skimped on giving details (down, distance, how far a pass travels, etc). Touchdown! Its a touchdown! Touchdown Buffalo! and the Bills score. I like John Murphy as a person and professional though, and watch games in person or on TV 99% of the time, so I really didnt mind him.
