Yeah, that’s well behind pace. They’re no where near where they need to be.
Even if they sold 3,000 seats per month (which is 3x their current rate) after the December number, they would still only be at 20k seats sold with nearly 40k to go.
The stadium will sell out eventually.
I am sure there was much more time spent with an individual being pitched club seats, versus time spent for regular seating pitch. I believe the number of people passing through that experience daily, will increase a LOT now that club seating is done.

A chip alone won't solve the problem, cause a chipped ball can't tell when a knee or other body part is down.
…or when forward progress is stopped.

Show the numbers then.
Yep. Everyone thinks the cap can be manipulated to the point where you can sign anyone and everyone. Not so.

Three to five years?
You are much more in tune with the broadcast industry than I am, but I would be shocked if games are no longer accessible via over the air antenna that quickly…let alone in my lifetime.

They are just getting us used to watching games on stream. Eventually free over-the-air TV games will go away and we'll be paying to watch all games.
Define “eventually”?

I have my ear to the ground on this…all I ended up with was an earful of dirt and blacktop.

OJ and it’s not close. Those voting for Allen either weren’t around when OJ played, or they don’t want to give him credit because of his post career actions.

Cook is not a special player. He’s limited as an overall back, though I think his vision is elite and he is an excellent runner. Still, his pass pro sucks, he is only a fair receiver and his snaps are limited to <50% because of his limitations in the passing game and durability due to his size. Why would you make a player like that the second highest paid at his position?
Well said! 👏🏻👏🏻

Any way Beane can rope the Jets into trading Garrett Wilson here?
Yes. Should be finalized any day now.

Also, replace Wayne with Harrison and for Detroit have Goff/St. Brown/Gibbs.
Correct. Hard to find a better set of triplets than Manning, Harrison & Faulk

Many of todays youth(late teens into twenties) have no concept(including being pleasant) of what it takes to “move up the ladder” no matter what the job is. Only thing that they look at, and tend to complain about the most is their pay.

It was in the 1st post in this thread.
It said he was projected at 19.3M per year. I just rounded up to 20M.
At that number Shakir signing a 5 year deal would be around a 100M dollar deal.
No way is he worth that.
I'd give him a Gabe Davis contract at 3yrs 39M or 13 per year
I don’t know how accurate spotrac projections are, but I would be shocked if Shakir signs this off-season for that much money.

22.6 million for a 6th round zone corner is nuts. Let him go. He's a system guy.
20 million/year for a guy with 1500 yards and 7 tds in 3 years is even more nutty.
Let Shakir go he is just a JAG. In fact his replacement is already on the roster in Coleman. Let Coleman play fulltime at slot.
The 2 guys to sign are Bernard at 6.7 and Cook at around 14M.
Both would be realy good value and you don't let your 2nd best player on offense walk
Shakir is far from a JAG. If you think Coleman can provide the same production as Shakir, you aren’t watching that close.
…and who said Shakir is getting 20 per?

I could see drafting a RB this year relatively high kind of like lions did with Gibbs, even if they want to try to extend Cook. I like both Ohio state RBs, fast and can block and catch and both have a lot of experience but not too much tread on the tires bc of sharing the load for their careers.
Round 4 or 5? Sure. Anything earlier than that…no thanks.

I've been bitching about the strength, and conditioning of this team, for several seasons. The Bills were gassed, defensively in the fourth quarter, in a number of games. Some injuries are the result, of improper conditioning. The Bills have had more than their share of bad luck, in this regard.
Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but I see this, as a very positive change!
Enquiring minds want to know…what injuries did the Bills incur that were caused by improper conditioning?

Is someone making you come to TBD and open threads about getting the #1 seed?
See my message to Beast.
Your speculation the day before the opener would have no more validity than making it does today. The preseason favorite the day before regular season kickoff has gone on to win like 2 of the last 20 SB's or something.
It's all just entertainment.
nvm

Well then, be more specific.
Be more specific? Let me get out my crystal ball and see how the draft, FA and training camp goes for all AFC teams. 😂

Amen, Dawson Knox last year 22 catches 311 yards 1 TD. In 2023 22 catches 186 yards 2 tds. Next years cap hit 14.6 million. Anyone want to compare where he stands in TE production vs where he stands in TE pay? Yet another example where Beane crapped the bed with a signing. I would trade him for a pick and get that base at least off the books and use that on Cook.
He has a dead cap hit of almost 17mil for 2025. Still want to cut him?

I mean, they didn't get much impact from last offseason's free agent or draft moves, don't have a lot of key players primed to age-out like they had in other seasons and don't have much to lose in free agency..........so why would we anticipate LESS than the team that went 13-3 before letting NE win the finale? 14 wins will probably get you home field or within a game of it.
An 8-0 start might be too early to anticipate getting home field advantage throughout........ but it's a message board and we talk about stuff like that. The schedule certainly lines up favorably between the amount of home versus road games and the quality of home opponents versus those on the road(where the Bills lost all 5 of the games that they dropped this season).
What about the moves other AFC teams make. Not possible for them to improve in the offseason?

Further, did you also forget that the Bills made TWO trades to get up to #7 to draft Allen? Luck had nothing to do with it. Brandon Beane pulled a real-life "Draft Day: the Movie" to get our franchise QB. Too suggest anything less is hilarious.
They can profess how Josh was their target all along, but there was no guarantee that he wasn’t getting picked somewhere in the first 6 picks…so yes they were somewhat “lucky” he was still available after 6 selections were made.
-
We have FA, the draft, OTA’s and training camp to get through. Just a “wee bit” early to try and figure out who will get the #1 seed in the AFC…don’t you think?

Chris Godwins skill set is similar to Coleman’s, just better.
When he was young and healthy.
If he still has the juice, he’d be a great signing.
Isn’t Godwin a slot guy? Not sure he is anything like Coleman.

People forget we have Frank Gore jr. who I thought looked good last summer.
A lot of guys are warriors in July & August. Doesn’t mean a heck of a lot in most cases.

It is truly the off-season when there are over a 100 posts in a thread discussing the firing of the S&C coach. 😂
Bills look for debt waiver as stadium costs rise

IMO…Make no mistake about it, once the fans commit to the PSL’s, the annual STH ticket prices increases will jump a lot.
