Weird take, man. Nothing about this process suggests the Bills are “cheaping out” — it’s going to be a state-of-the-art facility catering to the Bills and their fans.

pics or it didn't happen...

Did you watch the production with the designers, going through all of the details of how they traveled around the world visiting stadiums and deciding what they wanted to make the best experience in Buffalo? Did you hear Pegula talk about how every seat needs to be a great seat? Too many people are fixated on “dome” when it was never going to be a consideration. They want football in Buffalo to be football in Buffalo. The stadium will be amazing.

If there is one thing I’ve learned over the years on this board, it is to not trust @C.Biscuit97’s assessment of QB play. 😂

Mr. Optimism here…I’m banking that Y4 Gabe Davis has finally learned how to get his body “right” and the nagging foot/ankle injuries of the past are behind him. There is no debating that every reporter watching camp has gushed over how Gabe has looked, and we have seen more than enough on the field to know what he is capable of when healthy. If I’m Beane I’m trying to get that deal done now, before Gabe’s price skyrockets.

Who in bloody hell is wanting to host a Super Bowl in Buffalo? Super Bowl locales should be vacation destinations in early February. I think it’s dumb that they’ve held them in Minneapolis or Indianapolis. Back on point — the Bills clearly did not try to scrimp or save in the research and design of their new home. It’s going to be fantastic.

Bills are a good bet today. I think they’ve only lost one preseason game in three years? I know you’re joking around, but there are angles to exploit during the preseason for sure.

LOL. See the post directly above yours.

The biggest mistake the pundits make these days is using Josh Allen as an example of why guys like Richardson (and Trey Lance, etc.) could/should be great. What they fail to comprehend is that Josh Allen is not just about the physical tools…his mind is also All-Pro. I have no idea what Richardson is capable of, but saying “look at what Josh Allen did” as your rationale for optimism is like searching for fool’s gold.

You've got a little Napoleon's syndrome or something, dude...keep talking up your hot score on a Bills message board. LOL

I give up. You put words in my mouth I didn’t say, and you are incapable of having a discussion unless the other party praises your insight. I really have tried, but it’s not worth my time. Have a good one.

You again miss the point because you are incapable of doing anything other than self-aggrandizing. 2022 was better than 2021 for the Bills’ offense; they’re not on a downward spiral. I’m not making any OL argument. If you can’t accept that you’re just stubborn.

You need to get out more, if that’s what you have to offer. It’s an ignorant take, as I noted previously.

Because they would fall off.

If you watched the "Built for Buffalo" production and didn't come away excited as hell by what this new stadium will be like, I don't know what to tell you. It's gonna be friggin' awesome.

Do you enjoy just being completely wrong about everything?

You do realize it’s possible we both have valid points….

Funny, I just started a thread on the draft story earlier this morning.

The article is linked on the TBD news page. Apparently the Giants and Bills had a deal in place to trade picks because Beane really wanted Kincaid, but Schoen nixed it on draft night to trade up and get their guy, and Beane had to then scramble to do a deal with Tampa (edit: Jacksonville) and jump ahead of Dallas (whom everyone knew wanted a TE). Anyway, I found it interesting that Kincaid was Beane’s target all along…

I think you misunderstand me slightly. Your comments suggest a continuing trend for Josh and I don’t think the stats support that. I believe 2021 was the “bad” year and Josh rebounded quite a bit last season in the passing game despite the issues with his receivers and OL. Those 1.4 more rush attempts from 2020 to 2022 aren’t necessarily because Josh wanted to run more…you could chalk that difference up to the horrid OL play and Josh needing to scramble. The lack of a competent short yardage running game also meant Josh became the #1 option on 3rd/4th and short. But getting back to passing stats. Josh’s TD % went back up to 2020 levels last season and pretty much all of his numbers were better than they were in 2021. I share your concern about Josh being placed in harm’s way, even though his two significant arm injuries haven’t been the result of his running. If those rushing attempts per game don’t drop this season I’ll consider it a failure by Dorsey. Josh’s running should be a weapon used judiciously and not a fall-back option.

Last year was closer to 2020 than 2021 for Josh, and the bottom line was that his OL sucked. The drops also hurt, but Josh was dealing as a passer last season despite his injury. He also only rushed an average of one more time per game than he did in 2020. For those who like the ESPN QBR rating: 2020 QBR: 76.6 2021 QBR: 60.7 2022 QBR: 71.4 Josh is most certainly continuing to improve as a QB. If his pass-catchers actually do that this season he’ll be back to 2020 form (if not beyond).

What a great thread — except for @C.Biscuit97 bragging about his Buffalo girl and @Giuseppe Tognarelli’s horribly ignorant take on the city itself. Buffalo has been called one of the best-designed cities in the world for the structure of the city and its neighborhoods. Nobody can tell me it’s not a great experience to stay/walk around neighborhoods like Elmwood Village and Allentown. The architecture is brilliant — and Albright Knox art gallery is world-renowned. But that’s not why you’re coming, so don’t worry about it. Gabriel’s Gate for wings — check. Bar-Bill for beef on weck — check. Niagara Falls, including Maid of the Mist — check. Get out to the stadium by 9 am on gameday. Bring some beverages. As soon as you tell folks you traveled from Argentina you’ll be the guests of honor for every tailgate you visit. Have a great time! I want to hear the post-visit report!

It’s going to be fun taking that place over when the Bills play there…like we always do.

He probably didn’t even watch the show detailing how they made decisions regarding the stadium. Configuring the stadium so it could host kickball games would impact the quality of seats for a significant number of fans who only come there to watch football.

Sort of how most of us feel about you joining this message board and posting…
