Corrected. And yes that should be the reasonable expectation as it is the reality of the situation. Sad though, in my opinion anyway, that being short is a reason not to go to games. Actually I do "get it". Which is why I watch the game in 75 minutes with my family during dinner instead of at the stadium. So we all can see and enjoy the 75 minutes of action together without the 2.5 hours of commercials/dead-time. Exactly. But everyone seated tends to minimize the negative effects. At least in my opinion.

At exciting times some, maybe even most, people are going to stand up at least for a while. Everyone understands that I would think. I'm just questioning the logic (i.e. I don't understand the viewpoint) of standing and causing people not to be able to see only during the best/exciting moments of the game as being OK, but standing all of the time which is the best/exciting times and the non-exciting times as not being OK. I would think the decision would be binary. Either it's OK to stand and block the view of those behind you, or it is not OK. The sometimes thing makes no sense to me.

Wouldn't the same logic to sit apply to the big plays etc. situations as well? It would be OK to block the people behind you from seeing the big plays, last two minutes etc.? That's what I don't get about the "stand sometimes" argument. Been doing that for years. We record and watch commercial and halftime free while eating dinner as a family in about 75 minutes after enjoying the afternoon. Miss tailgating with friends but the benefits far outweigh that for me.

I agree. Lowest level minor league actually. Teams in the european B leagues would have no trouble with MLS teams. Right now the only name players in the MLS are players who got old and could no longer compete in their previous league, generally in europe. They come to the MLS for that last payday. What is helping soccers popularity is the amount of quality european soccer you can see on TV here now, much of it live on weekends. But it has been and will continuie to be slow growth in it's popularity until teams in the US can compete at a world level.

CBS is complete. Just waiting for a few ESPN stragglers.

Added some ESPN and updated the Amos information. Go read how Amos now sees the Bills season record

What in the !@#$ing hell are you talking about?!?!?

Not at all. Tackling and hard clean hits are part of the game (at least until it turns into flag football). What I am saying is deliberately attempting to injure anyone is a douchebag thing to do, period.

You don't see a difference between wanting more targets for Watkins and wanting a player to deliberately try and [re]injure an opponent? That's not a tactic, it's being a douche. I sure hope you do and are just trying to be a dick for whatever reason.

I do as well. The problem then becomes which sections. With so many season ticket holders who don't want to move it becomes even more difficult to figure out. But I think ultimately it would solve a lot of problems and make for an overall better fan experience once they got past the initial headaches.

That's exactly what some don't seem to get.

It's a huge burden to sit in the seat provided? Golf is a standing sport for 17 holes because there are no seats. There are bleachers on the 18th and people in them, guess what, sit.

If you insist on standing and being drunk, you can go to a bar and do both. That is also a fact. And you are wrong, telling a Bills fan they should not go to a game because they cannot stand throughout it is both rude and amazingly ignorant.

Risk takers also lose championships. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZSqjfYaX4M

Remove the seats from as many sections as necessary and have standing and sitting sections. You cannot sit in a standing section or stand in a sitting section. Problem solved

WTF, how does that tin foil hat fit.

And that's exactly the point. Standing does nothing to help the team or make you any louder. Some long time, even lifetime fans can't stand the entire game. You have seats for a reason, be a little courteous to your fellow Bills fans and use them. Should be common sense.

I finally have one this week. My 17 year old son took his younger brother, and a friend of his who had never seen a Bills game before in his 17 years on this planet, to Buffalo Wild Wings for the game. It was the first time my sons had gone out to watch a game as well. Lots of firsts!

The Neilson thing still exists, but I'm sure there are other ways. About a year or so ago my wife agreed to do it. She had a journal that she filled in every time she watched a show. Once a week or so they called her and she read them her journal. That went on for a month I believe. There is no way for them to tell with OTA and Satellite. Even with cable, all the signals come in through the wire and your box filters out the channel you select. With things like PPV they could gather stats if they wanted to. But not normal cable.

Careful, I got one of the dreaded warning points for less than that

In a perfect world, maybe. But everyone gets evaluated on their entire body of work. However I strongly suspect his contract factors in to any decision as well. Firing him so soon, mid season, with that [insane] contract with all the money guaranteed would make the Pegulas as well as the entire Bills FO look really !@#$ing inept.

Well OK, when you're right you're right!

So it's confirmed ... the Bills lose big.

538 downgraded the Bills chances of making the playoffs after last nights game from 11% to 10%.
