I would be shocked and thrilled if Jacksonville accepted our #1 pick in this years draft for their Josh Allen.
-
I'm hoping we find a way to keep Millano, Feliciano, and Williams.

I think our Oline coach is fine and doing a great job. Perhaps it's matchups. I got the impression that the Chiefs Dline was very aggressive, to the point of risking ejection. Maybe that had something to do with the Olines performance.

No question that the coaches game plans have a lot to do with the success of the team. However, yesterday's game, at least to me, was more about individual match-ups than game plan. The Chiefs beat us individually on the line of scrimmage, their DB's, individually, outplayed our receivers, and their receivers, individually, outplayed our secondary. Perhaps on another given Sunday things might be different, but yesterday the Chiefs players were able to take it to our players individually.

Hopefully, Beane and his cap team are working on a strategy to keep Feliciano, Williams, and Milano.

Reported on PFT the Chargers are hiring Brandon Staley as their Head Coach.

Both Murphy and Phillips played well. I would not be surprised to see Murphy have a greater role in the upcoming games.
-
I just hope they have to wait until the Super Bowl is over to hire him.

I'm very happy that we are playing Baltimore instead of Pittsburg Saturday night. By beating Baltimore, the Bills will be recognized as a true Super Bowl contender.

Last time I checked Vegas had the Bills favored by 21/2. So somebody thinks we're going to win. However, many, if not most, football analysts will tell you that a team with a solid defense and strong running attack is more apt to win against a passing team in winter weather. Hopefully, the weather Saturday night isn't too bad and the Vegas odds makers were right.

Everything being equal, I would promote from within.

As the old saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot". With upcoming salary cap issues looming don't know what next year will bring. Super Bowl or Bust!!!!!!! this season.
-
I'm hoping if Daboll gets a HC job, we promote from within a keep the Offensive system.

Should McDermott decide to handle Sunday's game against Miami like a preseason game, we could get our first glimpse of Jake Fromm.

Great story. In which Bar in Florida did this take place?
-
Mason Rudolph will be a Free agent this off-season.

Perhaps. But it has a far better probability than WNYers footing the bill for a new domed stadium.

Bills looked into this in the 80's and it was deemed too expensive and possibly an engineering stretch risk due to open air stadiums much further laid back profile of the stadium.
Dome technology has advanced since the 80s. If a domed stadium is the desired venue for the Bills, covering the existing stadium is probably the most feasible economic alternative.

Well neither of us know what it would cost or what we can afford. Stuff gets built all the time and people find the money. But I'm adamant, even if putting a roof on the present stadium is only half a billion dollars it's still money wasted because you still have a 50+ year old outdated stadium. Spending anything on Bills Stadium outside of upkeep is a waste. It needs to be replaced. Covid has pushed back the schedule, not eliminated the need.
I disagree. The current stadium suits WNY to a tee. Perhaps a few more seats to increase revenue might be justified.. The economy in WNY doesn't have the corporate base to warrant luxury boxes and other exodic frills. However, if playing in an enclosed stadium is the desire, covering the existing stadium with fabric is the most economic solution.

I disagree. To put a roof on the current stadium would cost as much if not more, and all you end up with is an old stadium with a tent over it. Either stick with what you have or build new. There's no shortcut.
Price tag today for a new domed stadium built to NFL specs, even on the cheap, is approaching one billion dollars. Covering the current stadium would be a fraction of the cost of building new. Furthermore, WNY simply can't afford a new domed stadium. So if dome is the desired venue, I don't see an alternative to fabric over the current stadium.

But it has a rim. Bills stadium does not. You'd have to build one before you could put a roof on. Fabric domes are out of use now anyway. What we want is US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Fixed roof but mostly glass. Lots of natural light, plus the walls open to allow fresh air to flow in. That is a nice stadium.
Yes it would be great to get a stadium like what they have in Minneapolis. However, WNY doesn't have the financial strength of a Minneapolis. Modifying the current stadium and installing a fabric dome is a more feasible solution for a dome stadium in WNY.

Because the area that you have to cover is massive. Notice that most domes have small footprints with multiple levels. Bills Stadium is a shallow bowl with one shallow deck. Then take account of the winds off the lake!
The Carrier Dome was designed with 1970 fabric dome technology. It certainly is not a small footprint. In addition, I would think there has been advancements in fabric dome technology since then.

Why not put a fabric Dome over the current stadium?

Bills fans being mad because the KC game was chippy is Ridiculous!

I got the impression that our Oline was intimidated by KC's Dline.
