    I haven’t heard them say anything to this effect and I wouldn’t count on it. This whole project feels “bare bones” to me. Of all the NFL stadiums built in the past 10 years or so, the rendering for our new house feel the most bland/not special. It doesn’t have the unique shape structure and views of the Vikings new digs. And it doesn’t have the massiveness of Jerry World. And it doesn’t have the mall/iconic circular opening of the Falcons new stadium. It doesn’t have the insaneness of the Rams/Chargers stadium. Etc. Etc. Etc.


    There is something unique and interesting and cool about each of the other stadiums. Nothing they have released so far gives me any hope of their being anything unique or iconic about our home. It’s just a boring, generic stadium that honestly looks like it could have been built in the 90’s.

     

    It’s not something i’ll lose sleep over or anything, but I would be lying if I said it’s not kind of a bummer.

     

    I agree. I really hoped there would be a Bills HoF, but IMO if it was happening, it would have been announced by now.

    You can't compare something in orchard Park.. a town of 3,000 people

     

    Compared to Jerry world in Dallas Texas, or something in Los Angeles or Atlanta

     

    I certainly don't think it's a bummer because we don't have the best stadium in the world lol I think it's pretty awesome that the bills will be staying for my children's children

     

    I would watch games at the Ralph forever and not complain at all because I'm there for football

     

    I don't care about keeping up with the Joneses.. I want the bills in Buffalo

    The town of OP does not have 3000 people.

    I am surprised how many folks there and on social media don’t understand how lake effect snows work.  Some folks on social media claiming it’s OK where they are should realize the band will drift up and down the lake all day.  Anyone from WNY should know that.

    …and always possible that a narrow band may not move for hours on end.

    I was just perusing the list of most touchdowns in a single season in NFL history

     

    They have the top 20 on the list...  Our very own Josh Allen makes four appearances inside the top 20 for most touchdowns scored in a single season

     

    He's not even 28 years old yet! Absolutely not in the prime of his career... And he is almost 20% of a legendary list

     

    Josh Allen is going to have the most touchdowns in NFL history

    Brady has 677(passing and rushing).  Josh who will be 28 starting next season has 221(passing, rushing & receiving).  Not impossible, but highly improbable.

    It is.  I think this is a different all pro list.   Maybe I am wrong?  I always thought the All Pro List was through the Associated Press.  This seems to be NFLPA.

    👍🏻

  5. Why isn’t there a 2nd team all pro?   What is the downside?   The voting is already done.  Just look at the results and bam…done. 
     

    PS I could swear 2nd team all pro used to be a thing.

    A Bill's Hall of Fame that you have to pay to visit wouldn't bring as much as you think either

     

    There's not a lot of repeat value there

    If the exhibits were updated regularly, and there was interactive stuff for the kids, it would be a big hit, and also, you want to compare interest in stadium tours at the 60 year old Ralph versus a new state of the art stadium?

    You can call up the Bills stadium and get tours whenever

     

    It's not a big time business...

     

    And a ticketed Hall of Fame would not bring as much as you think.. it's a one-time only thing basically... Especially if you're paying... Locals won't be going back five times a year

     

    So you'll still just get 10 days a year during bills games basically

     

     

    I wasn’t talking about hotels.

    I went to the Packers game in 2018 and we toured the Packers Hall of Fame/Museum thing they have inside the stadium and it's pretty impressive.  That franchise just has so much history.  I love the Bills but I have to admit our history just doesn't compare to a storied franchise like Green Bay.  I'm sure we can do something but not sure how much of a draw it would be outside of gamedays or gameday weekends. 

    I am pretty sure if there was going to be an actual Bills HoF as part of the stadium project, it would have been announced by now.  But think the people that will flock to see a giant buffalo and some “just freeze baby” flags.  
     

    PS An actual ticketed Bills HoF along with stadium tours would have been a big hit outside of game weekends…especially come summer time and holidays.

    So the NFL should be not at all surprised when this game gets pirated to death.

    The NFL has the NBC rights fee in the bank.   They could not care less about who is pirating the game.  As far as Peacock goes, only they know how many new subscribers come on board, and how many remain after the game is over.  If it is a huge loss for them, they may reconsider going forward.  If not, get ready for more of the same.

    Call Ralph a miser... But does anybody remember the free, all you can drink Bills parties he would throw the night before the yearly game in Miami. Usually in Fort Lauderdale.  I wonder how thar would float in today's SocialMedia world?

     

    He was a good owner! 

    I attended two of the parties at Shooters and then one at the Blue Martini(most recent).  As far as I know, those parties were paid for by Russ Salvatore…not Ralph.
