    Yeah...  cash flow and valuation are two entirely different things.  Davis isn't managing cash flow very well by continuing to pay two ex-coaches who failed.  But if he decides to sell the team, he'll do great.  

    Absolutely. And I'm sure he is paying JMcD a pretty penny outside of the Gruden salary.

     

    I remember just a few years ago, his net worth was like $500m, and now it's up to $2.3b or so. Best move he ever made was moving to Vegas.

    Umm Carr stinks, and Jimmy G. Was a winner his entire career till Vegas. His issue is he is made of glass. So it isn’t the same thing at all.

     

    Players in Ne Loved playing for him, I think the “ass” thing is a fan perspective especially in Indy where he said yes then jilted them at the last minute.

     

    I don’t understand firing the GM. The Raiders have some amazing talent on that team, IMO he did his job. 

     

     

    In no world is Jimmy G. a better QB then Carr, who I don't think very highly of either. Carr suffered through some of the worst defenses in the NFL. Jimmy G. was propped up by surrounding talent, similar to Brock Purdy. Didn't he win the NFC Championship game throwing like 9 passes?

    Looks like they hadn’t (and probably still haven’t) built up a lot of cash yet Cash on hand by NFL standards that it. Free agent and coaching hires must have depleted what they had. There are still escrow requirements for guaranteed money in player contracts. Also teams often use a lack of cash on hand as a bargaining excuse. Like the LV Raiders couldn’t borrow $40M if they needed to. 

    Not saying that Davis has a ton of liquid cash on hand, but the Raiders' value has skyrocketed since moving to Vegas:

     

    "The valuation of the Raiders continues to rise in Las Vegas, with the Silver and Black now worth $6.2 billion, making them the sixth-most valuable team in the NFL.

     

    The team’s value increased 22 percent over last year, when they were ninth, jumping $1.1 billion since 2022, according to Forbes annual ranking of NFL team values.

     

    The Raiders have come a long way from 2015, when they were 31st in the 32-team NFL in these rankings."

    We were in Washington DC last weekend, we were out checking the sights, and Bills Fan after Bills fan past us on the streets and subway, always the “Go Bills”  was exchanged, turns out they were all going to the “Bullpen” to watch the game, we basically stumbled onto the place, a few hundred of the Mafia were there, was a great time with a big bunch of friendly folk kicking back a few beers and high fives watching the fish get squished, great afternoon, we’re here we’re there we’re every fing where.

  5. Just landed about an hour ago, heading into London now. We flew out of Dulles yesterday evening, and tons of Bills fans on the plane and at the airport upon arrival. Can't wait to get in and around the city.

    That was not unnecessary roughness. If anything was to be handed out on that play, it would have been an Acadeny Award 

    Fair enough. Possible my eyes deceived me. Josh does have superb acting skills in the flopping arena.

    Can I B word about the officiating in this thread? 

     

    I'm still heated about the tripping call on Kincaid and the forward progress ruling on the MacLaurin fumble. 

     

    They ruled forward progress had stopped when the question on the play is whether the WR had it long off to be a catch and fumble or was it an incompletion that he never had possession of. 

     

    Washington also got away with a half dozen blatant holds. I guess if you're down 30+ at home just hold on every single play LOL. 

    How about the blatant personal foul non-call when Josh was already out of bounds and got slammed to the ground?

     

    The stadium erupted after that

    Like sure it'd be amazing if he caught it but come on at least make a serious effort to break it up if nothing else.

    After my initial anger, I said to myself, "Self, I pray these 4 things were going through Josh's head on that play:

     

    1. Ball gets caught 

    2. Pass interference 

    3. Incompletion

    4. INT = Punt

     

    The media will roast Josh, but I was actually ended up being ok with it.

    Anyone going to the game tomorrow? 

     

    My son and I will be goal line, Bills side, tunnel end row 2.   They are called the "Dream Seats" whatever the heck that means.  For what I paid, they better be a dream.  i guess you can order drinks/food and they bring them to you.  I'll report back on how that works (or doesn't).

     

    Plus everyone has to pre-pay for a specific parking spot.  Crazy.   You don't want to know what that just cost me.   

     

    Now I know why I haven't paid to go to Fedex in the 30+ years I've lived here.   

     

    I remember back in the day walking up to a ticket booth at Rich Stadium and buying decent tkts an hour before game time.   Paying a guy $10 to park in his yard.   Whatever happened to that?  

     

    Go Bills!! 

     

    I've sat in the dream seats years ago, like cira '08-'09. We got the tickets through my old job when I lived and worked in Maryland back then. Its a pretty cool experience to be that close. I remeber we right behind one of the camera guys, and had fun talking to him, players, and cheerleaders.

     

    Only small issue it makes it harder to keep up with the on the field action - were right on the 50. Still an amazing experience. You'll have a great time. 

     

    Tailgating generally sucks there, but if anyone wants to wander into the Purple lot, there will be a large group of us throwing a pretty big tailgate, so feel free to stop by!

    Mlb and nba games are spread over the days of the week nfl Sunday ticket is two windows.  1pm a and 4pm on Sunday…that’s the difference.  I wish it was cheaper too but dont hold your breath on it getting cheaper even on a single team basis.  

    I hear you, but I think it would be impossible for them to justify charging full price for a "team option". I have no idea how it would look, but I feel like it's coming eventually. If they want to nickle and dime back some of that $28B, they'll have too. Again..all just my humble opinion.

    You can counter with whatever, the reason it exists is for out of towners to watch their team.   Logistically it gets a lot more complicated to have 32 packages vs one.  I bet you think the price would be less?   And no there is a sunday ticket only option.  

    30 teams in MLB/NBA each. The team packages cost less than the "all" teams packages. A lot more games as well. I think a lot of were hoping for a team only option once it was announced. Why can't the NFL figure this out is my real question. 

     

    I go to 3-4 games a year living in VA, buy merchandise etc. The NFL gets plenty of my money. They don't get to jave all of it. I get to to choose exactly what I want to pay for in those cases. 

     

    The technology exist. They could do it if they really wanted to, but they choose not too because they know people will pay for the full packages. Lets rehash this down the road when the NFL finally comes around...which I firmly believe they will. They can have more of my money when that day comes.

    You can it’s $400 on YouTube.  The thought that all I want is my team and that should be a fraction of the price is and always was ridiculous.   99% of people who subscribe to the ticket do it for THEIR team not to get 12 and I’m games they can only max watch two, 1 pm and 4pm.  

    Not quite true. You are paying for all teams, all games. I'll counter with its rediculous that I have to to pay for for all of them when I only want to watch the Bills games. The NBA and MLB has figured it out. Why can't the NFL. Seems to me it's what a lot of fans want.

     

    I don't watch regular TV, so now I have to pay for more stuff I don't want? I'm good.

    I question whether anyone doing free streaming somehow would pay for a package anyway.  Seems to me that's why they go black market.  

     

     

    I would happily pay for a team only option, and maybe a redzone add on. Until then.....ehhh. Streaming has worked pretty well for me for years.
