There won't be many. And for those that do, there will be others to buy them up. Particularly seats like yours. The team playing well after a long suck period, and the border open. Bills fans in general will pay whatever is asked. Look at how many kept paying even during the decade of suck to "support their team". It pisses a lot of people off that the state will throw money at it, myself included. It should all be paid for by the team, the NFL, and the fans that go to the games.

Political opinions aside, that is really at the heart of the matter IMO. A 4 hour TV broadcast for about 20 minutes of actual action. Even with my solution of no commercials and skipping halftime, I still have all the dead time between plays, clock stoppages and so on which brings my time per game up to 90 - 120 minutes.

I watch only the Bills, conference championships and the superbowl. And even the Bills games I record and have my system automatically skip commercials on playback to reduce the time spent watching significantly. I have been steadily losing interest in the NFL for years. I think a combination of having a family and therefore better things to do, and the over commercialization and over saturation of the NFL. Sunday, sunday monday and thursday nights, really? Maybe I'm actually finally growing up <gasp>

That ended up being my favorite.

Syracuse entity doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds them. But could the Bills look attractive to some top but aging talent looking for a ring ... perhaps.

Look at Vic suddenly with his finger on the pulse of the entire NFL. Or ball washing his golden goose, you make the call Either way, only time will tell. Josh is likely happy, so there's that! McCoach is a defensive guy who makes questionable in game decisions so Dorsey will need to be able to stand on his own two feet.

This, I would like to see Stafford get one after wallowing in Detroit for so many years.

Yeah that could be I suppose. But at the same time you would think better defenses as well (sundays game notwithstanding )

I wonder why the percentages of playoff teams who win the coin toss winning the game are so different than regular season (19.4% opening drive, 52.7% win). Maybe just as simple as a significantly smaller sample size? If it truly was 89% overall with the entire sample size I would have expected teams and fans would have been up in arms already. For me 89% is a epic fail and would require a change to the rule. But a small sample size producing that result wouldn't lead me to a rule change.

Agreed, Bills win the toss and the game in the same way and this thread does not exist.

The team that gets the first possession and wins outright like last night happens 19.4% of the time. The team that gets the first possession wins overall 52.6% of the time. Not allowing the other team a possession when a FG was scored was broken as kicking 50+ yard FGs has become almost commonplace, particularly indoors. Yeah it stings that the Bills D sucked so bad last night, but it is meant to be sudden death, not lingering death. It ain't broke IMO, so don't "fix" it.

Need running back(s) for sure. Running Allen as much as they need to now is going to bite them in the ass down the road.

I've heard this from local talking heads as well but I disagree. The choices as I see them were: 1) Squib or kick it high and short to force a return in theory to burn some clock. The problem with this is you put the ball in the hands of Hill with some open field in front of him. Hill is the fastest and shiftiest player in the NFL and had been giving the Bills a thorough screwing all game. Not a great option IMO. 2) Kick away and make Mahomes go 75 yards in just over a minute and 3 timeouts. The way the Bills D played all game also not a wonderful option, but not difficult to believe your #1 rated defense in several categories could pull their heads out of their butts for a few seconds of game time and close out the game. I have said for some time I don't believe McCoach makes good in game decisions. Too much with his heart and not enough with his head. But I don't have any problem with that decision at all.

Nice to see a positive thread tonight. A nice change from "fire everyone". The Rochester talking heads after the game were calling it the best game in playoff history. I disagree. Neither defense played worth a crap and should be incredibly embarrassed. Craziest last few minutes, absolutely.

Yup, post game tailgate. Of course you'll need to make sure everything doesn't freeze during the game

And couches more comfortable.

That's for sure.

Run, run, then run some more. If McCoach figured something out from the last crap weather game (hopefully, but unlikely), adjust at halftime.

Not just older folks, anyone. But I 100% agree. Go through that crap or enjoy the game watching in comfort with friends and family is such a simple decision for me. People can suffer if they like though, whatever floats your boat. I went to the Bills/Browns Monday night blizzard game years ago. Stupid decision, but I did it. Regretted it then, but not now.

Given the weather, not sure about the outcome at all. Look at the last "Bills Weather" game between those 2 teams recently. But I agree about the impending ticket price freefall. Someone offered me club seats today at his cost ($700 for a pair). I have no interest in going at any price, my warm dry couch, quality reasonably priced beer, and going to bed after the tv is turned off is infinitely better IMO, but my wife does. Her response "why when I will be able to get better seats for less than $100 Saturday". And she's right. There is that, too cold to rain or even snow

The Bills made the choice for no dome. It is what it is. This Bills team is not built for "Bills weather" like teams of the past. We can only hope the Bills fare better than the last time they played the Pats in "Bills Weather". Now that sports gambling apps are legal in NY, I know people betting against the Bills this weekend because of the weather. Getting +175 moneyline on the pats.

I don't get it, not even a little. To me its entertainment and a distraction. A hobby if you will. If in general in makes you happy, rock on

Simple formula. More regular season games means more ticket and concession revenue. And the big one, a larger TV contract. Wear and tear on players, you don't really think they give a crap about that do you? Just adds drama. $$$$$$$$ pure and simple $$$$$$$$

Come on man, ruin the weekend?

This. Fing NFL. Now we have to watch live and have to sit through the interminable commercials.
