I would be tempted to entertain this more if we didn't lost to the Pats and Falcons. Both were easily there for the taking and they botched it. The team has proven they don't deserve rest weeks.

I had "Coaches Club" tickets for the opener @ NYJ a few years ago. I have to say it was pretty sweet. It's packed even though everybody in there has tickets in the stands. Basically you have to go through there to get to your seats. It's free food and free drinks. Raw oyster, prime rib sandwiches, nachos, pretzels, whatever. And of course TV's all over the place. Given the PSL cost for th club seats I imagine maybe something similar? Unsure though. At MetLife it is directly next to the sideline behind the Jets bench (there's one on the visitor side too) with field access. I am actually in a bunch of the Aaron Rodgers pictures when he came out of the blue tent on the cart. If Buffalo can provide something similar it should be highly desirable. It would even be a good space to do sales kick offs, presentations, etc. during the week It's not a bad idea. I don't disagree. But I don't think it's a fan base issue, it's an architectural issue. I imagine the new stadium will push us to the top or at least on par with KC. They have the decibel thing up all the time and Arrowhead rumbles at like 120 dB on meaningless 2nd downs. I've never been to a stadium that is as consistently loud at such a high level. It was remarkable. And I don't mean that in a way that takes away from Bills fans at all. Again, I think it's a stadium design issue and the new stadium will help tremendously.

It has nothing to do with the fan bases. It has everything to do with the steep slope and enclosed end zones in KC vs open end zones and gradual slopes of the Ralph. I don't think either fan base is remarkably different than the other.

Modern stadiums are regularly rumbling at 130 decibels. The Ralph isn't. Watch the screen, we are regularly at like 105 decibels on key 3rd/4th downs. Enclosing the end zones is going to make a world of difference. For reference KC sells ear plugs and Tylenol at their concessions. The Ralph has never been as consistently as loud as KC was when I was there and it wasn't close. And it's all because of stadium design.

Not a doctor but I wouldn't rule out myelopathy. You can choke out your spinal cord with zero symptoms...until you have them. The data around myelopathy recovery is points more toward "pausing progression". " Reversal is a hope unless you catch it early.

Very unpopular opinion. But I think the Bishop hype is more hype about raising his game rather than where his game actually is. He was good, but he's been pretty bad, so that's amazing. But I think he is targeted a lot. Again thrilled he rose to the occasion, but the plan is often to target his side of the field. Hoping that stops. He's an exciting athletic player that I'm hesitant to crown.

I sorta hope not because that's not a haiku.

We need Indy to drop a few more games. With their remaining schedule KC is one of the most likely. KC has a lot of losable games left. There's a world where KC misses the playoffs entirely. I wouldn't get on it, but they are certainly flirting with it.

I think we prefer them to beat the Colts? Didn't think I would be saying that in 2025.

That's generous. He has been bad

That wasn't just not DPI in real time. But it wasn't in slow mo either.

Play call aside, they've gotten 3 extra possessions and come away with no points. Tough to beat Mahomes that way.

You could replace Josh with Shane Buechele and the Bills would still win by 21.

Waaaayyyy too much hate. This isn't coming from people who are watching the A22, it is people parroting it because he got beat by Waddell on a crosser while in man coverage a few weeks ago. Benford has been as bad or worse. Overall Tre has been an "OK" CB2 on the outside.

I watch the A22 and I have season tickets at the 40 in the 300's. I see every snap from up above. Allen is really good when you zoom out. But he needs to be better than he's been the last few weeks. It's not a pie. Just because one is bad the other is good. His WR's need to be be better for sure. But he's also making it harder than it needs to be himself.

There seems to be this assumption that anytime Allen scrambles for 10 seconds that it is because everybody failed him. For whatever reason the last few weeks Allen has leaned into hero ball pretty heavily, looking off high percentage plays in order to huck down field for low percentage options. It has been most prevelant the last two weeks but noticible for the last 6 weeks. I love the dude, he is one of one, but he just doesn't seem like he has had a great feel for the offense this year. Even on a lot of his scrambles he will roll out with 15 yards of green grass in front of him, and throw up a prayer on 2nd and 10 rather than take an 8 yard scamper to leave us with 3rd and easy.

Teams should have unlimited challenges and only lose their ability to challenge once the either get two incorrect and/or run out of timeouts. If a team gets 10 calls overturned in a game that is a league/ref problem not a challenge flag problem. Don't want so many challenges/stopages? Stop getting so much wrong.

I hate that the ball has to survive the ground when caught on the sideline. Drives me bonkers. As soon as the knee, foot, elbow etc. touches outside the field of play the play is over. Whatever happens after that doesn't matter.

Not just had to step in. But an instant, measurable, and major improvement. Which means that the current status is so so so below acceptable. To answer the question of the thread, McD is the HC, he's the CEO of all things on the field. The CEO can't be jumping in and doing the CFO's job all the time just because he cut his teeth in finance.

The Cincinnati Bengals have entered the chat.

Good inventory. The only real correction I'd make is that I don't think Bishop has been average. I think he's been below. Benford has been very bad. I have to assume that the people claiming how useless Tre is see the 7 on Benfords jersey and just assume it's 27 and they're lumping all the bad play from both on one guy.

I swear my browser says twbillsdrive.com. But it keeps bringing me to BBMB.

Oh man, we are at peak drought era. Did you hear something from the busboy at Tempo?

Tre's poor play is drastically exageratted. Has he had 2 bad games? Yes. Has he had 6 bad games? No, lol. People are just parroting it at this point. He is the 2nd outside DB. He has largely been somewhere between "meh" and "fine" across 6 games. But people talk like he is just targeted on every single throw and responsible for our pass defense. Benford has been taken advantage of and he is our number 1 outside corner who we just paid. He has been glaringly bad compared to his expectations, pay, and role. Benford - 32 targets, 21 completions, 198 yards, 0 passes defended - 4 TD White- 20 targets, 14 completions, 113 yards, 3 passes defended - 1 TD I don't think either DB can count on consistant help from the safeties. Loads of people are out of position.
