Sorry, upper deck last row 50. Or upper deck corner but a lower row. Honestly if I am going to every home game I'd rather be up high between the 30's then be in the lower bowl corner. If it's a one off game or I'm traveling I like to be in the lower bowl.

Me too. My rep said "last row at the 50 or down low in the corner" give me that coaches cam viewall day everyday!

I'm pretty sure he's a zyn guy and that's what it is. As a former smoker the whole zyn/vape thing is super weird. I have some younger cousins/siblings who are gen Z (to my elder millennial) and they talk about the buzz they get from hitting vapes and putting in a zyn pouch. Again, as a former smoker, it was definitely never about any of that and not anything me or any of my smoker friends ever discussed, like ever... It feels like this entire zyn/nicotine vape generation is just a million versions of the dude who'd ask to bum a smoke and then go "oh sorry I only smoke menthol"... Like if I was ever in a place where I needed to bum a cigarette, you could hand me anything from a non-filtered Camel to a Virginia Slim, I just need a smoke. What a bunch of posers (This has almost nothing to do with Allen or even football for that matter)

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like less than 60% of seats are covered. Almost feels like the OP got I backwards and only 40% are. (Not to split hairs)

Dangerous game to play if you aren't playing fast and focused. It is a hell of a beating to take with a lifetime effects if your heart isn't in it. Best of luck to the dude.

I agree with you, but there isn't a lot of longevity for guys who aren't great pocket passers. At some point the velocity will dip, the legs won't take you as far, etc. and you need to be a great pocket passer to be a productive NFL starter well into your 30's. I was a proponent of the franchise pushing him in that direction so that we could enjoy a productive 36 year old Josh Allen on the Buffalo Bills. The inverse to me was sort of what we are seeing with Dart or Cam Newton. But as he approaches 30 I think you just have to let the guy play his game, and if the wheels fall off at 33 then they fall off. That said, whenever I have a spicy take guys generally seem to immediately do the opposite (see Dane Jackson circa 2023). I also thought the Sabres were really on to something when the missed the playoffs by a point.

This isn't a Miami week specific issue. He isn't just not throwing to the open guy, he is looking at guys who are open and just not throwing them the ball. His whole feel for the game is like half a beat off. I have seen him with 15+ yards of green grass in front of him only to chuck some last minute heave into double coverage that inevitibly falls incomplete instead of scampering out of bounds for 6 yards and leaving us with 3rd and 4 instead of 3rd and 10. It just has the feel of the 2018 season without the electricity. The comment about "mind somewhere else" seems to maybe fit. Fixable but concerning. I do think that he is slow to process compared to his QB 1a peers (ie Mahomes, Brady, Manning). His physicality and physiology bail him out. When he is sharp he is unstopabble, but we he is not it isn't pretty. Anyways, it is clear this team would be lucky to even have two wins right now if it weren't for Allen. But better QB play would also have us undefeated.

If Terry Pegula cannot get the Bills over the hump this town is about to become super toxic for him. He cannot have two professional sports franchises who toe the line between comedy and despair.

Normal response? IIRC this wasn't even an interview, Beane proactively called to mother fork them on the air. All Beane had to do was yell at his radio alone on his car like a normal person.

Yeah, but have they: 1. Graduated from the University of Phoenix ONLINE! 2. Run a local hockey rink?

I am higher than most on Knox. I think he has a place on this team. We've seen a couple of guys take pay cuts over the years in Miller/Milano. I'd like to extend Knox at a much more fair value.

Agreed, I have been watching a bit of Chicago this year. I am constantly going ugh/whoops. The odds weren't really in our favor, tough task for an undersized LB corp hold up year after year. Also I think the league is becoming a bit more smashmouth compared to 5 years. That certainly isn't helping.

But also our void years for 2026 are nearly 2x Tremaine Edmunds 2026 cap hit. I'm not necessarily saying Edmunds fixes anything/everything. But we do seem to be struggling with both starting LB positions. 2x Edmunds would be super helpful right now. So when you borrow from the future and then get it wrong it really compounds the issue.

Whose the Buffalo Bills version of Kevyn Adams? Any former players or low level assistants, interns, etc that Terry is having secret meetings with?

A little off topic, but if Miami is trying to get one last squeeze out of Tua they may go the Daboll route since they were both at Bama. I'm low on Daboll, so I am rooting for him to go to Miami.

I sit directly opposite this in my tickets and we notice this often. On one hand were a 5 win team without Allen. On the other hand he seems super out of sync with the offense this year. He's not theeeee problem but he he's not playing on time either. This feels like 2018 Allen without the aggressiveness.

I mean Beane says that Allen sends him loads of mock drafts in the off-season, pays attention to the senior bowl, etc. Allen confirmed all that. He also said Josh sat down and went through WR film with all the coaches, and then called Beane the morning of the draft to talk WR. So either Beane is making up it all up and Allen is nodding his head, or the truth lies somewhere well above "company man" and well below "Josh Allen held a gun to Brandon Beanes head before making the selection".

Sorry, I said TD's but I was using total points. He has only had 2 seasons of his 12 years as OC/HC where he was top half in both points and yards. Of those 12 years, 6 were with Allen, Jones (current leader in passing yards), and Barkley...again, only figured a way to be top half in yards/points twice. That is bonkers. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/DaboBr0.htm

I will say it for like the 4th time in this thread. In Dabolls 12 years as HC/OC in the league, his offenses have only been in the top half of scoring and yards twice. TWICE. in his entire career. 12 years 4 years with Josh Allen 2 years with Jones (#1 in Passing Yards) and Barkley.

His personality is the worst part about him as a HC/OC. Lol

It wasn't even off of the bye. It was totally dependent on who we were playing. The sales pitch was that we would attack defenses at their weakest points. So if they struggled with zone we'd man up and visa versa. It's a move by somebody who fancies themselves the smartest guy in the room. Not move made by a guy whose actually the smartest guy in the room. Not shocking he only has two years ever as either a HC or OC where his offenses were ranked top half in both yards and points.

What if I told you that Brian Daboll has only ever had two season as HC/OC where his offense finished in the top half of the league in both yards and TD's. Just 2. Mind you he had Allen for 4 years ...

Terry Pegula and accountability? Lol. Go a couple miles down route 5 and check on the Sabres....
