Since it's your first time, go as early as you can. There is a shop to walk through and then booths where you can buy food and play games and win prizes, on your way to the practice field. It will also allow you to get better seats in the bleachers. I also suggest freezing some water bottles and bringing them with you because it gets hot, and wear a hat.
Thank you - if it's a 9:30 practice, when you say, "go as early as you can", do you mean be in the parking lot by 8a, 7a? I appreciate the intel.

I have tickets and have never been before. I will be using my tickets with my kids. What should I expect? Should we get there early? Are there realistic opportunities for kids to get autographs without fighting grown men for fence time?
*If by some unforeseen chance we can't make it on our allotted day - I vow to give away the tickets to someone on this forum.

Every player, coach, ball boy and other asset would be traded "under the right circumstances".

This is the MO of the organization - you pay key pieces a year early to show them your vote of confidence and give them a level of comfort.
Josh, Diggs, Milano, Oliver, Tre... the organization has a history of these moves.

Who cares? He's paid to get listeners and clicks... Early on, he was on the Bills bandwagon before most others. It's his job to be contrarian sometimes to get a reaction. He has succeeded.

Every 7-8th grade basketball team has a guy like him - someone athletically gifted that burns by the opponents in the open court and misses the layup. He will occasionally make a spectacular play while routinely not taking advantage of the everyday play. I'm not sure if it's preparation, focus/discipline but given the opportunity, he didn't take advantage of it fully.

We bought a house up the street from our old house about 15 months ago. The owner had a Realtor, but it was not actively listed in. MLS. They were trying to quietly sell it without actually listing it. We got wind that somebody offered $5k less than what they paid about 4 years earlier. The owner said “I want at least what we paid for it”. We offered $10k more than what they had paid and she eventually accepted. Several sales took place right after we bought the new place, and we clearly got a steal. It’s worth ~50% more than what we paid because the seller and her agent had no idea what the current market value was. I thought we did good, but we did GREAT.
On a side note, I pity the appraiser taxed with finding three comps within a mile of Beane’s house that sold in the last 6 months within 15% of 10k SF that included an indoor pool and basketball court. That is a job you do not want, even for a huge fee. You will NEVER make an underwriter happy because those comps do not exist. You just do the best you can, and they will keep bugging you like those sales exist and you are just refusing to use the good comps.
As far as the house, what a mess! Sure, it’s a nice kitchen (if you don’t mind the dark cabinets and black appliances), but who wants a house built around a basketball court? That is not the focal point I want for my house. I’d cross that off the list and keep looking.
As an appraiser - I wouldn't care what the underwriter "wanted". You do a report, you make sure it's USPAP compliant, and you collect your fee. You're there to give your expert opinion of value... not to satisfy an underwriter's checklist.

I'm assuming that the property taxes are not being calculated at 1.8 million. Probably closer to what he paid which was about 1.2 million. They would go up if someone dumbly pays 1.8 million.
Also, I don't think Redfin includes school taxes. At least that is what I noticed when I looked at my house versus all the taxes I actually pay.
Current property taxes $34,944 based upon an assessed value of $570,000. That assessment equates to a Full Market Value of $1,461,538

Does it come with a prepaid contract for Squirrel Winter to clear the driveway?

How about we settle for surround sound in the stadium with the sounds of a herd running laps? They could add visuals to the scoreboard too.

Well said .. and it’s not homerish at allto say we’re much better going into this coming season than we were going into last season, let alone once the injuries hit.
We downgraded one position.. Middle Linebacker, with Edmunds leaving in Free Agency.
We upgraded the following:
QB - Allen (now healthy)
OG - McGovern & TorrenceEDGE - Von back
DT - Poona added
S - Hyde back
TE - Kincaid added
Nevermind expected improvement from guys like Elam, Shakir, Knox, Harty, White, Brown and Year 2 for Dorsey & Kromer.
We also play in a loade
We don’t deserve to be called a SB favorite due to the past, but talent-wise/expectation-wise… 100%, we are.
With some perspective:
11-12 Months ago:
Allen was healthy
OG: had just been upgrade with FA Roger Saffold (such a value find). Bates was back and we were solid on the interior.
Edge - Von was healthyDT - JP was back where he had his best year(s), Jones was added, Oliver was about to be a star
S - Hyde and Poyer were healthy with no major injury concern
TE - Knox was showing improvement every year and poised to be the next TE star. OJ Howard was here so we could run 2 TE sets.Tre was coming back from injury, we had a new Rd 1 CB so we'd have 2 shut down CBs. Davis was coming off the KC playoff game - a true #2, Crowder was a solid veteran 3, Shakir was a steal in the draft.
Fast forward to today - we're selling ourselves that we've hit gold on every FA, draft pick and ACL recovery. We don't deserve to be hyped more than last season.... at least not yet.

The date stamp is 11 months ago. It doesn't excuse it, but this isn't late breaking news.

Every season you think you're a better team after the draft... we cut waste and have some shiny new toys. We don't know if the new toys are any better than our old toys at this point - they only have more potential because we already knew the others were replaceable.
I suspect with a few injuries, we'll be around the same place we were last season. That said, I think the Jets are clearly better than they were last season. The Patriots aren't likely better. I don't think Miami will be better because I think they outplayed their quality last year.

I wanted them to trade up to Seattle - I did not think the Seahawks were taking WR. I thought the Bills would trade up to ensure they got the best WR on their draft board, and figured the run would start with Baltimore, SD and the Giants coming up.
My guess is that they were content with selecting 3 of the 4 WRS or Kincaid and rolled the dice one or two would be there at 27. When the WRs were gone it left only Kincaid and Dallas in front. -

oh that’s rich. So you’re talking about loose lips while gossiping about Von’s personalityRich indeed.
1) I'm not on the payroll, nor claim to have any "inside knowledge".
2) I have no aspirations to be a GM
In that context, my TBD gossip about Von Miller is clearly the same as Von broadcasting that the Bills "might be getting another big weapon" on a national media outlet. Thank you for bringing that to all of our attention. You've done a great job today. Stay awesome my brother!-

Loose lips sink ships - I'm not sure that this works well for his aspirations to be a GM someday. Maybe his personality is better suited to be an agent.

Last Year:
Hopkins had 79.7 yards per game yards and 0.33 TD/game and 10.6 Targets per game
Davis had 55.7 yards per game yards and 0.46 TD/game on 6.2 Targets per game
Davis also had one catch for 98 yards and a TD - remove that 1 catch and his production looks even more JAG-like. 49.2 yards per game. Remove Hopkins longest reception and you get 76 yards per game.
I'm not pounding the table for Hopkins, but you can't seriously believe they're equal caliber let alone Davis is better?

During the drought years I was listening so intently when national radio was finally talking about the bills, I entered an automatic car wash with my sunroof open…. My truck never smelled so good.
I’ve also overshot my exit on the Thruway by an exit or two while zoning out.
This seems different than those - like you temporarily entered another reality similar to when Zay Jones wanted to fight for Jesus.

OL will be the early adopters. Hopefully Mitch will be one of them.
-
There are a lot of options for backup QB:
Keenum, Darnold, Mitch?, Wentz, Heinicke, Brissett, Minshew ... Personally I'd take each over Marcus at the same pricepoint.-

History - I've been a season ticket holder for nearly 20 years. I live 3-4 hours away and typically make it to 4-5 home games, all playoffs and one road trip per year.
It really comes down to the PSL price for me. As it is now, during the recent playoff years I've been able to sell off unused tickets with a reasonable expectation that I'd recoup most or all of their prorated value. Before that, I'd end up donating tickets to the United Way, because it was a better value than selling for $10 (but my tickets were 30-40% less than they are now. If the PSL fee isn't astronomical I'll probably keep them, so I have automatic options for playoffs. If it's 5k+ per seat for lower bowls, I'll pick 2 - 3 home games per year, one road trip and buy playoffs on the secondary market.1 hour ago, Back2Buff said:You would be stupid not to keep first year. Resale will be ridiculous that first year.
If the PSL triples or quadruples your cost basis, it will be hard to recoup that it one year. The resale value of PSL has been historically poor. You may only recoup a fraction of what it cost you in the future.
