Using a 1st and two 3rd’s over the course of three drafts is not a good strategy to overtake the Chiefs.

Exactly. C'mon man!

I knew this post was coming. Keep up the good work my friend! 😂

All this talk of a new convention center is a pipe dream. When I was still working I attended a yearly conference with 10,0000+ attendees. You know what cities were in the rotation for this conference? Vegas, San Diego, New Orleans and Orlando. You know why? Because the destination is part of the reason to attend. Even if Buffalo had a new shiny massive convention center you know what the odds are of them ever attracting a conference like the one I mentioned above? 0.0%.

In a normal time, yes, 5 years is reasonable. Unless Pegula is going to absorb a huge portion of the cost(at least 90%), I don’t know how a new stadium(or even a major refurb) gets done. With Covid, the state and county are both going to cry poor.

I like how whomever dreamed that up, made the 190 disappear. 😂 I also like how the field house is down there, when there is no reason why the administration and practice facilities would not stay in OP.

Hap...my OCD is going to explode if you don’t fix the spelling of his name in the title. 😂

...or a very expensive OP subdivision($500k and up) with the footprint of the stadium becoming a retention pond with a jogging track around the perimeter.

Short but good read of the proposed Lancaster Domed Stadium(Ed Cottrell) from the 1960's, it never getting built at that location(current stadium built instead in OP), and the subsequent lawsuit by Cottrell. The area of Lancaster where the stadium was to be built is now filled with endless subdivisions of houses and patio homes. Over the years, I knew some of the story, but never knew this would have been the 2nd domed stadium after the Astrodome, built in the world. http://ampoleagle.com/when-it-comes-to-a-new-stadium-we-should-learn-from-the-past-p8386-208.htm

You are probably correct.

According to spotrac, the Bills have 67 players under contract. If 90 is still the max number going into OTA's and training camp, I would think most of the remaining 23 slots will be draft picks and UDFA's?

This would be great, and there is plenty of land on the outer harbor(just a stones throw from downtown), but the powers that be along with some misguided public input, insist that ALL OF IT becomes park land. 😡 I fixed your post. I'll never forget Bob Rich waving a blank check around(in front of the media) at an owners meeting...when it was still a possibility.

Oh my...how did WNY ever survive the price increases when the Bills moved from the Rockpile to Rich or when the Sabres moved from the Aud? Prices increase on all products....and people continue to buy them. Some people need to stop acting like everyone will turn their backs on the Bills when they move to a new stadium.

...and you know this how? Have you conducted a survey of STH and also fans who attend 1 or 2 games a year?

This is no different from what I said...best case 5 years. 3 recent domes have taken approximately 3 years from ground breaking...and there will be at least 2 years of design/site acquisition/financing/etc...

Only one problem...half of those 10 years would be spent arguing about the site, the financing and construction issues. A new stadium is at least 5 years away. That being said, I have been and remain in the “downtown dome” camp for years now.

Where is Dunkirk Don when you need him the most. Connect the dots and follow the money.

Some people can't resist. Don't you know that every thought that pops into their head has to become a new thread.

My top 3 guesses... Labatt Blue Stadium Wegmans Stadium Rich Stadium

I'm said this all along. Not only this, but people act like Beane is a mind reader and knew Josh would still be there at 7. I'd love to know what the plan was if Josh went in the top 5 along with Baker and Darnold.

Keep in mind that unless the Bills moved to #1 overall, there was no guarantee the Bills were going to get "their guy in Allen". There were six selections that could have really messed with the plan.

Your fuzzy math doesn’t add up. Are you trying to say that without trading Teller, the Diggs trade would not have happened?

Started watching in ~1966-1967. Still going after all these years. Enough said.

Don’t forget Dialing for Dollars w/Nolan Johannes & Liz Dribbin, and Johnny & Jimmy...on the accordian and drums. 😊 I’ll never forget as a young boy, my mom took us to see Dialing for Dollars(as they had a live studio audience), and off camera in the one corner was the top half of Promo. I was very confused as to what I was seeing. 😂

You can't beat the bot!
