  1. We are watching the Bills waste Josh Allen’s prime. Disgusting
  2. Might be the perfect time for the bye. Fire Babich, make a couple trades and get those guys back
  3. The defense is horrendous. I 100% do not want to see the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks, along with the big FA deals going to defense again. Incremental improvements don’t matter. Go get Josh some playmakers and dare teams to keep up!! We have a loser philosophy and can’t win the big one because of it. This team will still probably win the division. They will still win 11+ games. Let’s not accept another divisional round exit and try the same thing again next year. This isn’t an overreaction. This is a flawed team that has the best player and football. They handcuff him instead of turbocharge him

  5. The Bills are in for a long year if nothing changes. Teams are selling out to stop the run and sending extra rushers. They are DARING guys to beat them outside. It ain’t happening.
  6. I’m so frustrated. I’m so sick and tired of the Bills playing not to lose. They try to outlast everyone. Attack, attack, attack!!
  7. Glad your defense was ready to play Sean. Play a little softer
  8. Shouldn’t have paid Rousseau or Bernard. That’s not hindsight either. You shouldn’t overpay for role players. Don’t ever confuse role players for impact players.
  9. I don’t think that he’s wired like that. With that being said, he absolutely could go the other way and start to hold their feet to the fire. He loves those guys but if he says, “I want a WR or else” or “I want a new coach” or whatever, they (being Pegula) has to oblige. Josh is in that LeBron place right now. He can pick coaches, GMs and players with his leverage. If he decided to threaten they’ll (Pegula) have no choice.
  10. My boss was in town for the Miami game. He stayed at the Hyatt downtown and it was like $500-$600 a night. It’s on the nicer end of hotels. He usually is at the Marriott but it was sold out (that’s where the team stays). You can probably plan on pricing in that neighborhood. I would suggest renting a car as Ubering is a nightmare IMO. It’s not hard getting there but getting out is tricky. Where we park is $60 and that seems to be a common price. Additionally, all of the Buffalo restaurants and wing places that you hear about require driving (or more Ubers). In terms of the tailgate, we find 5 hours before kickoff to be the sweet spot. If you do choose to Uber I’d strongly suggest partying at O’Neill’s after the game for a few hours and wait for the chaos to die down. Ticket prices probably won’t go up. The guy near me sold his KC tickets at the beginning of the year for $1600 each (so he claimed). That as much as I’ve seen for any Bills game there. The week of the game you’ll be able to get in under $200. There comes a point where they just kind of stagnate. I always wait when traveling but I’m a gambler. Hope that helps…
  11. This!! It’s like having a kicker that’s great from 60+. What’s great, 1 out of 2? Give me the guy that’s 90% inside of 40 and 33% from 60+ over the guy that’s 80% inside of 40 and 50% from 60+.
  12. I was hoping that they let it play out. He was on pace to lead, “the most underachieving season in the history of football.”
  13. Wish that I could be there. These next couple of road games should have LOTS of Bills fans. Enjoy it and Go Bills!!
  14. Yeah, but can you imagine what it would be like if they had some diva like that? They’d want the ball thrown their way. It could blow the whole thing up!! The Bills score lots of points. We need to fix the defense. I’d like to see them use their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks on defense. Also, I’d like to see them allocate most of their FA dollars there as well. It just makes sense…
  15. Well said! You articulated the thought process well. It isn’t that McDermott and Beane have failed. It also is true that they haven’t reached the ceiling and have had many bites at the apple. With Josh Allen, the ceiling is the Super Bowl title. That’s the standard now that they are held to. Many, many, many, many football coaches could win 11+ games and a playoff game or 2 with this group. The floor isn’t much lower than where they have been for 5 or 6 years. The downside risk isn’t there. This is close to the floor with Josh. We aren’t about to be 6-11 because Kevin Stefanski or Klint Kubiak or whomever is wearing a headset.
  16. You never know what you are getting though. Gruden came back. McCarthy came back. Doug Pederson came back. I don’t “need to know.” There is no such thing. You don’t know. Just give me the guy that you think is the right guy. The culture is already established and it is Josh’s team regardless of who is wearing the headset. The most important factor in the next coach/gm, if they go that way, is that they get out of Josh’s way. Where we disagree is on the downside risk. I believe there are 200 coaches currently coaching in college and the NFL that could win 11+ games with the current Bills and their schedule. Sustained excellence is guaranteed with Josh Allen in his prime. The ONLY thing that matters is taking the next step. I don’t NEED it to be Doug Pederson or Mike McCarthy because they did it before.
  17. I just don’t understand that thinking. This is year 8 for Allen. What would be irresponsible would be to try it again in year 9 the same way. I don’t need someone that has succeeded or failed before. Maybe they take someone that’s been around but that is not a requirement for the next HC for me. Just show me someone that hasn’t reached the ceiling 8 times.
  18. The list is certainly a little limited. Curt Cignetti is a little older than I’d like but man. That guy has just the right amount of swagger/arrongance that I’m looking for. If he was mid 50’s instead of mid 60’s I’d probably be pounding the table for that guy.
  19. I think that this is a tough conversation to have for Bills fans. We just don’t know a lot of what’s out there. We know very little about college football comparatively, so that whole segment of candidates is a blind spot. The coordinators that are always rumored to get HC jobs (Johnson, Glenn, Coen, etc) all got HC jobs. The coordinator most likely to take a HC role next year is our own Joe Brady. People knew Vrabel but he took a job. That basically leaves the fan base deciding if it’s better to bring back McCarthy, Gruden or Belichick in 2025. 🤣🤣 It was the same way when we used to always want Cowher or Shanahan. Those are HORRENDOUS options. 🤣🤣
  20. I think that they are like $275-$300 a seat now and it isn’t significantly more in the new stadium. I’m at the goal line now and moving over a couple of sections towards the middle in the new stadium. I’m not sure the increase over the current people in that area but it’s not bad from what I remember. The Bills were hyper aware to not price people out in the premium areas because they are harder to replace. We heard about those $50K PSLs but there was only a couple of hundred of them. They sold those to the businesses quickly and then the pricing dropped substantially. I think $25k was the next highest, then $20K, $15K, $10k and $8K in the clubs. Most were in the $10k and $15k bucket. They have seats in the stadium as low as like $750 for the PSL.
  21. Patricia was such an upgrade. Watching Knowles and Penn St. fail brings a smile to my face.
  22. What we learned today (but we already knew): Curt Cignetti = good, James Franklin = bad
  23. $15K each and you can pay it over 10 years at like 10% or interest free until the stadium opens (which amounted to just about 2.5 years). It’s just about $1K a month (for 2 seats). They said most people have selected that option. We get whacked each month on the PSL as well as the payment on our current seats. By next year at this time, it’ll just be the ticket cost.
