I am thrilled to read so many of you are flush enough to attend a super bowl period. I mean thousands and thousands of dollars. If I had it I'd think about it too.
But I don't. 65" TV FTW 🙂
I could easily cover the costs of attending a SB, but would never consider it. What a tremendous price gouging waste of money.

.....regarding the 4th down play....
Let's assume it's called a 1st down. No one knows what happens after that......but the case is made it was a game altering play. Fine. I concede that it was a pivotal moment in the game and that it's possible the Bills go on to score 3,7 or 8.
But, If you are going to call that a pivotal play becuase of the unkown "what might have happend" then you have to consider that the Worthy catch probably ended up working out in the Bills favor right? If that is ruled incomplete, insted of 1st and goal at the 5, it's first and 10 at the 20 instead (due to holding on Hamlin). KC MAYBE (we don't know what happens for sure) runs quite a bit more clock out before socring a TD to go up 21-10 and the Bills don't have the time to get the TD before halftime.
I am not saying that is what would happen and I am not trying to diminish the importance of the 4th down call when it happend. I am simply saying, at that particular time and spot in the game, it's not the game changer that for example, the Rams Saints missed PI was when that happend..literally cost the Saints the game for sure.
Also....it's noteworthy to me that there were 4 Bills fumbles in this game and the Bills recovered all 4. No one here has mentioned it at all....and how lucky/improbable it is to have 4 fumbles and recover all 4. The Chiefs had 1 fumble and it was also recovered by the Bills. I get it...those aren't on the refs....but they are potential game changing plays.
Last...it has been menioned several times the Bills had the ball with 3 Timeout and 3 plus minutes left with a chance to win or tie. If you were offered that scenario before the game started, would you take that shot? With Josh Allen at QB? I would think Bills fans would take their chances with the ball, 3 minutes plus, 3 TO left and down 3. That's the time to shine.
And finally one last thing....13 seconds may well have been it. Allen was heroic that game and would have/should have been a champion that year if not for the complete collapse that happend which had nothing to do with Allen. He was awesome and clutch that game.
Oh goody. Look who is here to rub it in our faces.

We need a pass rushing DE, Big 1 tech DT, Speed WR, CB, Safety. That's 6. Bigger at LB is also what I would like, but I bet that's a pipe dream.
So 6 between FA, and the Draft. It can be done.
You are moving the goalposts, so I will move on.

5-6 moves (if done right) isn't a lot.
You listed 7-8, and unfortunately, easier said than done in one offseason

We need: A stud pass rushing DE, a big 1 Tech DT, Bigger LB's, a CB or two, a Safety and WR with speed.
You say the Bills “don’t need much”, and then proceed to list the above. They are not one in the same.

We need a pass rush. Until we get one, we have no chance at stopping Mahomes in the playoffs. I don't care about salary cap and I don't care much about draft picks. Do what it takes to get Garrett out of Cleveland or at the very least Crosby out of Vegas. Crosby, I think will cost a little less but we have to take a swing. On top of that, Khalil Mack is a free agent. Again, I don't care about Salary cap and I don't trust finding the right player in the draft. We have already tried this numerous times and it isn't working. I would feel better with a known commodity. I know it's a long shot that we sign both. But if I'm Beane, I'm taking a swing on both. If we give up 2 first round picks for Garrett, I don't care. If there is a player to do that for, he is the guy. Crosby would probably be at least 1 first round pick. Make the moves, get to Mahomes and that's it. We will never get past them if we don't
While the cap can be manipulated at times, you can’t just say “forgot about the cap”. Take a look at Diggs huge dead cap hit for this past season as a perfect example.

What does it matter when KC and… well… everybody can hold against DL and it’s rarely / never called? We could have Lawrence Taylor, Bruce, and Reggie White and I don’t think it wouldn’t really matter.
Zero penalties on them in the last two SBs.
ZERO.
League directive is to not call penalties on the Golden Child’s team unless it’s egregious. This is the WWF.
Huh? No penalties on KC in the last two SB? You might want to check again.

Your OC, DC & ST coaches all have minimal experience in those roles. How does this make sense for a team with SB aspirations…unless this is what McD wants…a bunch of inexperienced guys who will be beholden to him for the chance?

Hollins had the kind of season I was hoping from Coleman. (Clutch wise)
Also, I’m excited to see what a healthy Curtis Samuel can do in this offense.
I don’t think there is a single poster here who would have predicted back in the summer that Hollins would be a bigger contributor than Coleman. Kudos to Hollins.

Bunch of whiny Bs in this thread...not surprising.
Any fan would/should be thrilled to support this franchise. I'm sure all of the nostra-dumbasses telling Beane what he should do and say manage billion dollar enterprises and are at the top of their profession.
Carry on, "fans"...
Only “super fans” like yourself get it. You will have to excuse us mere mortals.

He has people in his ear...or don't you know how broadcasts work? Also after having done it tens, if not hundreds of thousands of times throughout his career calling games, pretty sure he should be mostly accurate with those...at least in every other game I have heard him or any other announcer call they have been. Not this game.
What about him bringing up the spot being wrong 7 or 8 times. I get the Bills fans frustrations, but a loss brings out exaggeration to all time highs.

If Allen went to Pegula and said “him or me”, not so sure Pegula wouldn’t choose McD.
Has anyone noticed what a bumbling fool he has been for 14 years as owner of the Sabres?

Beane (paraphrashing): "Id sign up to be in the same postion, down 3 with 3 mins to go next year."
THAT DIDNT WORK THREE TIMES. How about being UP TEN with three minutes to go? Christ. [/rant]
With McD at the helm, how about up 10 with 3 seconds to go? Even he couldn’t screw that up. 😂

Someone at my job just said there are reports that McDermott is leaving. I'll believe it when I hear it. Press conferences at 11 (Beane) and McDermott (2).

This is exactly what I was saying...it wasn't just on that one 3rd or 4th down play, it was throughout the night. Nantz was incredulous by the 3rd quarter as to why the refs kept marking the Bills short when he would call first down. Happened at least 7 or 8 times. Never seen that happen as frequently as that game...it was ridiculous.
So Jim Nantz can tell the spot from a couple hundred feet away instantly. I’d love to see a video clip of him doing this 7 or 8 times during the game.

I think what they are doing is, soas NOT to bring out the chain gang... They are ballparking to nearest on field marker.
That would make sense, easier to tell if there's a first down and keeps play running smooth.
Only hitch is close games.
I haven't seen chains out since Miami 2023.
I have mentioned the lack of chain measurements before. Clearly in an attempt to speed up the game.
Not referring to you, but there is no conspiracy regarding this. Ball spotting is not an exact science. There will be mistakes made. Unfortunately in this case, it appears to have hurt the Bills more than their opponent.

No to move ups. I always prefer more shots at finding a star.

Love the first-round pick for the Bills, but in the 2nd, not going after another Edge who likely underproduces with our 1st pick, and then taking another #2 WR in Bond. I'm going after Tre Harris with the first second round pick, then taking the DE from BC (Ezeiruaku) with the later 2nd round pick.
if we get Crosby, no need for another edge, IMO. Take Amos (CB) at some point, and a WR with the first pick, even if we need to trade up.
You think you are acquiring Crosby for pennies on the dollar? That first you want to use on a WR or in a trade up, is long gone.

Not to mention, you think at his age, Pete wants draft picks over proven veterans?
