The Panthers might be the biggest sh*t show in the NFL right now.

Chargers waxin thatass

Letting him go back to one of the better college OC jobs while the higher paying gigs are available?

Yeah that would have been fun. TVD is better than expected. Garcia looked better than him in spring last year though and presumably he will be back. So there should be competition and QB isn't a problem area for a change. Looks like Cristobal and Radakovich are a done deal per reports today.

This sounds like a pointed message to @teef to not sell his Club Seats to Patriots fans.

I guess we will see. Rumor is one of the billionaire booster families wants to self-fund a 50K seat stadium on the current site of Coral Gables HS. And said booster may have a vested interest in Cristobal getting the job as they are related by marriage. Personally, I thought Kiffin would have been the best fit for what they have now. But any plan is better than what they have had for the past 30 years, really.

Queen City Kitty herself has weighed in.

Had some really great wings at Bar Bill North couple days ago. Never not had wings at a Bar Bill that weren't better than the best I had at Duff's.

Well, I mean they don't want to lose any commitments from Manny's top 60 rated recruiting class, right?. Manny already lost basically his whole offensive staff to SMU and he's his own DC.........they could just hang up fliers at Publix and recruit better than Manny at this point..........so basically they just haven't gotten around to making that one phone call.

Yeah @BUFFALOBART was at that one as well.

Hopefully most of the fans will be wrapped up like they are planning to be driving a snowmobile all night so the cold doesn't get to them...........but if it gets that windy people will be heading to the exits. You won't even be able to even keep your eyes open to watch the game without goggles on at 60 mph. Even the lower end prediction for in the 20's in mph for winds is worse than the Bills/Ravens playoff game last year..........and that was a windy GD game.

Later in the calendar year of 1994 the Bills played the dome team Vikings on a lousy weather day after a big snow storm and the Vikes whipped the Bills and busted Kelly's knee........which effectively knocked the Bills out of the playoffs because Reich was brutal in relief the rest of the season. But, you know that team had such a HUGE home field advantage.......right?..........especially over a sissy dome team. (and everyone only remembers Reich as a great backup instead of the bum that he was that season). To add insult to literal injury in that Vikings loss........there was nearly 4 inches of water and slush in the parking lots because they decided to just salt the lots instead of plow them. Yeah that was the day I found out that when people get hypothermia one of the signs is an inability to communicate. We thought Ted was just not speaking to us because we had made fun of him for not dressing heavily enough. Yay for bad weather!

If you mean doesn't rain or bitter cold combined with high winds usually just level the playing field for the lesser opponent?.........which the Bills too often have been in the 2000's........then yes it's been an advantage. People reflect fondly on the 2017 snow game because the Bills won.........what they don't recall is that the weather made it possible for a terrible 3-10 Colts team to almost beat the playoff contending Bills at home. And tell any Bills fan that drove to Cleveland to watch the "in the hunt" Bills lose 8-0 in a blizzard about the weather not affecting team performance. More often than not bad weather just cheats the fans out of a good football performance. We've seen a whole lotta' bad football on bad weather days in Buffalo. It's not a good thing for anyone involved.

Yeah I think the vehement defenders of Star's decision making over the past couple seasons have gotten a high decibel wake-up call this past month.

Coming into this game there is a lot of hyperbole in the media about how bad the Bills run the football and defend against the run........and how great the Pats run it and play defense. The numbers don't really support these positions.

It's not "we". It's you and some others who clearly didn't understand the value of having a winning culture and excellent coaching. Which made no sense to me because the same people who thought Belichick was done fielding competitive teams were the same people who "trusted the process" in Buffalo. You may be too young to remember the 1990's Bills teams but as talented as they often were.........many of their wins......especially after the first couple of SB seasons.........were in great part just due to supreme confidence in their organization + opponents lack of confidence that they could beat the winning-culture Bills. That's how you go to the playoffs 10 times in 12 years. The Patriots have just taken it to a greater level.

My family in Mass and RI would very much disagree with this statement. But in fairness........Boston has only been a baseball town since the mid-1960's. Now that they've won some WS titles maybe that scratched an itch they had but as a Yankees fan there is nothing more satisfying than hearing "Yankees suck" chanted at EVERY Red Sox gathering. Nobody is in the head of a fanbase like that.......even when they've gotten the better of the Yanks for past 20 years. And as a Bills fan it really tells me that the Pats are still A LONG way from causing that much anxiety to the fan base. As for the younger crowds just playing "other sports".........I think that is a mis-perception. Prior to the pandemic, enrollment in organized youth baseball was exploding nationally for the prior 5 years. And the programs in New England in particular have become huge. Right now, kids just aren't playing sports at all. HS sports programs are having a hard time competing with high paying part time jobs because so many adults have refused to return to work. Football is being hit the hardest. Rival schools are having to merge football programs just to field teams. So football is definitely not one of the "other sports".

It's gonna be nice out........just put on your big boy knee pads and walk.

61 mph? Pfft......that's not even hurricane force (74 mph or higher). But everyone loves watching a "wind" game!

Live look at outside company strategically placing their thumb over you for pennies on the thousand:

People love to watch football games. The rest of your post is irrelevant to football's popularity. Put a dome on it and then instead of looking back fondly on an occasional fun/bad football game played in weather conditions that altered the outcome............maybe you can look back on many more games where your elite QB carved up opposing defenses in a climate controlled conditions in front of his home crowd............while at the same time allowing the team to compete on a more level playing field financially and for player acquisition and retention. You need to watch pro football in the snow? Watch the CFL playoffs. Hamilton is one win away from reaching the Grey Cup and the game is being hosted in Hamilton this year. Never gonna' be a dome over Tim Horton's Field.

Here's a helpful message board hint......read the posts prior to the one's you respond to.......you'll have context that way. The argument that was made was that the stadium was just a big TV set because TV money is all that matters..........and tv viewers want to watch teams play outdoors. That's not the case.........people don't watch football on tv to see what the outdoors looks like from the comfort of their couch. A window will suffice for that. The SEC is popular because it's good football. Obviously.

Same as a GoFundMe for the entire stadium. Zero. We already assume we will be paying for PSL's etc.. I know the age demographic of this site really thinks that everything 5-10 years from now will look like it does right here and now..........but the way sports entertainment and gambling are going there will likely be a significant financial advantage to getting fans into the game early or getting them to stay later afterward. I can easily see a future where the tickets themselves are only half of the revenue(or less) that a team earns inside the stadium on a game day. Beyond competitive advantages like noise and being able to recruit or retain talent easier........putting a roof on it would just show some actual foresight.

Yeah it ain't cheap at all if you gotta' take 2 days off of work or use vacation time. Better off paying the going rate for a Sunday game in Foxboro. I don't expect many Pats fans. A Sunday would be a lot easier.........but by the same token there wouldn't be quite as many cheap tickets available. Wasn't a big contingent of Pats fans at the 2019 game either.
