  1. Don't forget with 17 games, year to year we will be going back and forth between 8 and 9 regular season home games (ignoring games at neutral sites). So, we'll have 8 regular season home games next year and 8 again the year after. The 2025 season will then have 9 games if we don't have any neutral site games. One thing I've noticed that seems quite weird is the cost of each individual game ticket from the season ticket package. It wasn't obvious anywhere except if you pull up each game individual ticket from your account. There is a number on it without a dollar sign. For my seats, it was either 75.5 (preseason games), 142 (Vikings, Jets, Dolphins, Patriots), or 164 (Titans, Steelers, Packers, Browns). I wasn't even positive that they were the prices since it would be so easy for all regular season games to have been $153. But, it was confirmed to be the face value when I was credited $164/ticket for the Browns game.
  2. Unfortunately for Vontae, he didn't quit early enough in his clubbing escapades last night. He should have quit at halftime (one drink instead of two?). "Former NFL Pro Bowler Vontae Davis was arrested for driving under the influence in South Florida on Saturday, according to Broward County arrest records. Davis, 34, reportedly crashed his vehicle into a disabled car on the side of the highway, which hit a person next to it, according to talk-show host Andy Slater. When police arrived at the scene, they reportedly found Davis asleep on the side of the road. Slater adds that Davis told police he had "two mixed drinks and was coming from a club." He also told them he was tired when asked why he was sleeping on the side of the road when found. The person hit was taken to the hospital with "multiple injuries." https://www.foxnews.com/sports/former-nfl-pro-bowler-vontae-davis-arrested-dui-florida-report
  3. Correct. My prediction is Sundat 4:25 so Bills and Chiefs are at the same time. If Bills lose this week then Bengals will be the same time too.
  4. First of all, I don't believe anything Rex says so I really doubt this happened. Secondly, one of the few good things Rex did was bring in Tyrod and have him start. Although not that good, he was far better than Geno or EJ. Tyrod started in 2015 through 2017 for the Bills.
  5. Although hoping I was wrong, I didn't expect Tre to be back to close to his old self until late next season. It seems to me that most ACL injuries, even though players come back in one year, it takes two years to be back to close to their old level.
  6. I'm quite confident that at all (or at least almost all) NFL stadiums the vast majority of people will be civil but there will always be some that will be complete jerks and even some that could be dangerous to be near if you're an opposing fan. I know of people that were harassed in Buffalo at games and even a friend on crutches that's a Dolfish fan that someone took a running start at to knock him down; fortunately my friend's 220 lb son got in the way and knocked the jerk over before he got there. I've been to away games in NJ (Jets), NE, AZ (both old and current stadium), San Diego a few times, LA (old stadium a few years ago and So Fi this year), and San Francisco. I've always worn my Bills gear and never once have had any issues. If you're unlucky enough to be near one of the jerks, the game will suck for you. Probably the closest I've come to being harassed was going to a Broncos / Lambs game in Anaheim the last year before they moved to St. Louis. The only non-Bills game I've ever been to. I wore all Bills gear and the guy taking tickets at the entrance said, "You do realize the Bills aren't playing here today." Obviously, that wasn't really harassing me but it was funny.
  7. I missed it. What was it for? Tried googling but didn't find it.
  8. I remember reading shortly after the game that the home team decides if extra equipment such as cooling benches will be used. If they say no, then neither team can have them. Can't remember or confirm the source.
  9. I don't see that he's been activated from the practice squad. Buffalobills.com was updated with Von Miller going on IR, but doesn't show any PS activations.
  10. There is no longer a "doubtful" designation. There is "questionable" and "out". And, of course Josh is currently questionable. Looked for the link to show the rules, couldn't find it. But, I know I heard it on WGR the other day and looking at the injury report, those are the only two used anywhere so I'm quite sure it's correct.
  11. Right before the "sliding" quote from Diggs, Josh was chanting "jockstrap, jockstrap". On a Dawson Knox interview someone posted earlier in the week he was asked what they think about Josh hurdling and Knox' response was that they make promises to do embarrassing things to get Josh to slide and his example was that he (or someone else?) promised to run around practice only wearing his jockstrap if Josh slides.
  12. I remember the 1993 season (had to Google the year, my memory isn't THAT good) when the NFL expanded to 18 weeks giving each team two byes. There were teams on bye every week of the season, even weeks 1 and week 18. There were SEVERAL weeks that the games just completely sucked! Pretty sure that's why they only had it the one year. "The double byes are a double disaster," then-Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King wrote in 1993. "... The bonehead result was that there were as few as 10 games per weekend through the first two months of the season, not 14. Fewer games, fewer chances for good games, obviously. Another by-product of the double bye: With so much time off between games, teams fall out of sync."
  13. He claimed he "felt horrible immediately." Well, if this were true, why didn't he go back to the guy, check to see that he's ok, and, if still on the ground help him up. Besides the obvious that was already pointed out, that this apology was on social media instead of reaching out to him directly, bs, fine the crap out of him and suspend him.
  14. We'll see. I tend to think that when he's healthy, if a team that has a realistic chance to make a deep playoff run wants him and he expects to get significant targets, he'll go for it.
  15. In 3.25 seasons, a total of 447 yards, best season 2020 with 21 receptions for 224 yards. Last season, with the #1 receiver out much of the year, he had 1 reception for 13 yards. As someone said above, who do we cut to make room for him? Taking AZs trash isn't a winning strategy. https://www.google.com/search?q=andy+isabella+stats&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS919US919&oq=andy+isabella+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i131i433i512l6j69i60.8427j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  16. Considering they started on the 20 yard line and Motor could have scored if he didn't give himself up (and even if he was stopped short Josh would have scored after), and if the Ravens kicked a FG the Bills likely would have started at or around the 25, it seems extremely likely Josh drives for a TD.
  17. I don't think we can assume McKenzie is out. Conclusions come in all levels of severity. I read on this board he's doing his show today which implies it's likely not severe. And hopefully Davis will be better with resting most of the week. Othersise, Hodgkins or Austin it is.
  18. Absolutely correct. Wilson didn’t want to lose the Miami rivalry which was still big at the time. I remember I completely agreed and was thankful for his stance but now believe that was silly. Would much rather be in a rust belt division with Pittsburgh Cleveland Cincinnati.
  19. My seasons are in section 132 row 35. Everyone in front of me stands the entire game. Personally, I don't care either way, I'd stand or sit during plays but have no intention of missing the play because the person in front is standing. Therefore, I stand for all plays, sit mostly during commercials and sometimes between plays. I haven't been to a concert in a while, but it always bothered me if people behind me are yelling "sit down in front" and those in front of me are standing. I normally could go either way there also, but hate that I have to choose between not seeing or forcing those behind me to have to make the same decision.
  20. Agree. Although a smart player may realize on his own and not score, that's not what they do anymore than knocking the ball down on a Hail Mary on the last play of a game instead of trying to catch it and risking a deflection. It's not in most player's thought process to not score and the coaches must coach it into them and tell them the situation.
  21. As someone said above, SoFi had either this or similar. I thought as I walked in how much better it was than at highmark. Very glad for the change.
  22. Chris Berman used to always call Fontes "Rasputin" because he or his teams would come back from the dead. After starting the season average, he kept making the playoffs with late season surges (just to get beaten in the first round of the playoffs). In one of the first Bills SB years he beat the Bills backups (primary starters all were held out since we had the #1 seed wrapped up) in OT to make the playoffs. Regarding BB, he's a great defensive coach who recognizes the importance of a great offence. I say the last part because I believe it's not always true with defensive coaches. I think many would continue to play a conservative style and want their defense to win games. That approach may have still won BB a couple of SBs, but certainly not six.
  23. So far as what percent were Bills fans, I swear it looked like half. I was in Section 514 row 11 (50 yard line) so I could high up and could see pretty much the entire stadium except the rows behind me. It looked 50/50. I saw a few things: When standing in line for beer, 7 to one ration Bills to Lamb fans When going to the bathroom, at least the same (of course correlated to the above) When I was walking out, as expected Lamb fans left much earlier than Bills fans, I stayed to the end. But, It looked like 50 Bills fans to each Lamb fan. I took a picture when I started walking down the stairs to exit. See below:
