Even though this is just a typical fun get the homer juices flowing thread, I find it interesting how many so easily and completely believe Josh >>> Tua.

Not uncommon for teams with defense minded head coaches to see the D get more love off season, and show during the season. But they did put some effort into the line this past off season. Hopefully they just need more time together.

You were the smart one. Most of them probably not if they want to keep their jobs. But the fans/press sure can.

1) The Bills 1's need to stop reading the Buffalo press about how great they are and read some national press, some of which has them at 2nd or even 3rd in a stacked AFCE. 2) McD seems like the kind of coach that can use that kind of crap-fest to the teams advantage. First get together start off with "You guys Fing sucked out there! If anyone thinks their spot on this roster is guaranteed, they better get their head out of their a$$ pretty damn quick!" ... and then get rude. Bonus: Impressed with non-Josh Allen so far.

Probably figure they aren't going to do any better so double down and go for it. Plus remember, it's not just about a superbowl. It's about making money. And this current team puts asses in the seats, even these considerably more expensive ones.

Missed most of last season with a concussion. That's a long time for a concussion, but roll the dice with a 1 year contract 👌

Enjoy even these higher prices because PSLs are on the horizon baby. Pay for the ability to pay for season tickets. Whoever thought of that first, and realized that NFL fans would actually pay for the right to pay more, is a freaking genius.

Utter BS. They are professional athletes with a week between games to get un-emotionally-drained. Plus this wasn't some meaningless game, if was the freaking playoffs ... AT HOME for gods sake. The Bengals out GM'd (players), coached, and played the Bills and as much is it may sting, it's really as simple as that. Making or accepting excuses isn't going to help. I'm not a "fire everyone" person, but the Bills organization needs to recognize the situation before it can be corrected.

This is the stadium wall, not just playoff losses, but any losses

I don't remember that specifically. But calls like that are game situation based and far more involved that saying I have a solid QB so I'm going for it. I think a lot of the time McDermott thinks along the same lines as you do though.

I agree with how the Bills handled the clock at the end. Superb actually.

I completely disagree. His teams offense had done exactly squat in the 2nd half, nothing, zilch. Zero points, zero anything. What made him (or you then) think his team was going to magically get it together on that one play? Take the 3 and force the Bills to score or lose. As it was, if things looked bad during that last drive all the Bills had to do is let it go to overtime. Big mindset difference than needing to score or lose the game. But I will say it was nice to have the opposing coach make game losing mistakes. And yes, the receiver was open early, but like the rest of the 2nd half the Ravens F'd it up.

Yeah its horrifically inconsistent. Soccer for example, when the ball is completely over the line it is out of bounds ... period. Just one of the ways the NFL has overcomplicated the rules.

Yes sir. And go F yourself.

First, I live in Roch and Thad is the head sports guy for our CBS affiliate here, and a major Fing Dbag, Don't put any faith in his inside sources. Second, I have ESPN+, but it's mainly 200ish channels of D1 college, soccer, and other things that the networks don't show. What would I be looking for?

Bolded means the people (Bills fans) that use the stadium, fund the stadium. The billionaire owners should fund it themselves, but if they are too smart for that, the fans who actually use it should. Of course they don't generate significant revenue. How could they only being used 8 - 10 times a year. That article is spot on.

Dude was standing there filming them with his iphone? Good god.

Cancel culture what it is in the US these days, the claims might not even need to be true.

The Giants and Jets did the right thing and got their stadium without government funding I believe. Blackmail does seem to run rampant in the NFL, I agree. And politicians in fear for their jobs don't want to be blamed for teams relocating out of a city so in many cases it works.

I have never tried to sell a Bills ticket. But the stadium sure looked full during the "fair weather" games. Even in the Kelly/Thurman years the winter weather games were a bit of a hard sell. Didn't look like "nobody wanted to go" to me from my couch watching on my HD TV (technology I'm sure did have a impact on ticket sales).

A GoFundme page for a new Bills stadium is a good idea though. Allow the hardworking people that want to, contribute to the billionaires stadium that the millionaires play 8 regular season games in a year. I wonder how embarrassed the Pegulas would be to have a GoFundMe page setup for them. This fact seems to elude far too many people. They all should be funded that way IMO.

He might be trying to pay for his Bills habit that way. I used to do the same with the Sabres, you know, waaaaaay back when they looked like a NHL team. Living 1+ hours from the stadium I'd sell a lot of weekday games and go with friends or my kids on weekends and the occasional weekday game. I'd always sell for more than my cost, particularly habs and leafs games. Selling those games paid for the games I went to. Granted with only 8 home games, its much harder to do that for the NFL.

Nonsensical leap there. I want the NFL and the billionaire owners to pay for their stadiums. If they feel the need, stick it to fans with PSL's. But what I don't want is people who could not care less about a team, Bills or otherwise, to pay for a billionaires stadium that multimillionaires play 8 games a year in.

Absolutely not. NFL betting is a small fraction of bets. Particularly when you look at a year, not just NFL playoffs and superbowl time. The NFL, it's teams, and it's fans should fund stadiums, full stop. The NFL and teams in particular certainly can afford it. I keep hearing this nonsense. 8 days a year in general you are talking about. Maybe a few concerts if it was domed. "fuels the economy", for gods sake.

So in your opinion, soccer ticket prices are too high and it is over commercialized to the point you have reduced interest in the game. But those things are not true for tackle football???
