That’s not bad at all. I locked in at $15k (about the 25 yard line). The next section over was $20k. Out of curiousoty where are those located? My current seats are around the goal line. I like them. My brother wanted to go a little close to midfield.

Good topic!! I think of Matakevich playing LB and cringe. I don’t know enough about Mack Hollins but my initial instinct is to agree. He seems, like Sherfield, to be primarily a ST guy. Fortunately, the Bills have done away with vets that primarily play ST. That’s the first thing to go in a cap crunch. You can’t pay the Neal’s and Matakevichs. You need to replace them with cheap labor (and the Bills have).

I’m guessing that you can put more down. There is the 0% option and it lasts like 18 months I think. It is still paid monthly. With no interest (or full pay discount) there’s no reason not to take it. Let your money keep making money.

I said that he is ARGUABLY the best punting prospect ever. Debate that. His numbers, with a limited sample size, stack up with anyone ever. You’re assertion is that he isn’t in the conversation. That’s false. The numbers say otherwise.

You started with, “wow” and I dropped a handful of stats supporting his case as “one of the most talented punting prospects ever.” It’s really not up for debate. What he accomplished in his short time is unmatched. You diminishing the stats to support your unwarranted surprise at how dominant he was. Just say, “I didn’t realize that he was that great” and move on.

He only had 84 punts in college. In one season, 18 of those punts went 60 plus (NCAA record), 39 of them went 50 plus (NCAA record), 6 of them went 70 plus (NCAA record). His 51.19 yards per punt is the all-time record. He won the Ray Guy award. Maybe others knew of the off the field issues or they just over thought it? Either way, he is arguably the most talented punting prospect ever. That’s not hyperbole. His resume was short. His performance was unmatched.

Yes, I said what I said. FWIW, that’s not a crazy take. He literally broke records supporting that take.

Nate Peterman Kelvin Benjamin Mike Williams Aaron Maybin HC: Melvin Fowler (that guy was an a hole)

He’s arguably the greatest punting talent in history. I was pumped when the Bills took him. He is going to be a star. I don’t begrudge the Bills for releasing him with the information that they had.

Most overrated player in the NFL

If Josh Allen plays 10 more years and averages 7 rushing TDs per year, he will be 3rd all-time in rushing TDs!!

There will be less spaces this year. I hadn’t seen anything on parking passes but that wouldn’t surprise me. We park in a satellite lot and have anywhere from 4 to maybe 15 cars depending on the game. I’m not feeling good about our ability to be close moving forward.

A bad team finished 4-2 without him around. I’m not the one that talked about the toxicity in the locker room. I’m simply passing along the feelings of someone that knows INIFNITELY better than either of us. He watched Calypool’s influence, day in and day out. He, unsolicited, reached out to tell me what an idiot that guy is. I’m not going to try to pretend to know better than him. That would be foolish. He said that things got way better when they left him home. We can try to formulate our own conclusions or we can believe someone there. Up to you Lol, in my buddies defense, he was still with the Falcons at that point. He moved to the Bears a little after that.

They were 4-2 in their last 6 to finish the season.

We will see. It wasn’t an insult. The point was, you shouldn’t be surprised that he is getting locked up in shorts. That was to be expected.

SW has always been my airline of choice but lately it has been a lot more American or Jet Blue. It has further emboldened me that Southwest is my airline of choice (especially if you check in on time).

Great post!! It feels to me that the Bills backed themselves into the corner a little bit. It’s reasonable to say that Claypool is the most talented WR on the roster. We all know the issues in his previous stops. The Bills gambled on him because of the talent in the room. Miami let him walk knowing that they have a couple of guys that can do what he can do when he’s at his best. I hope that he turns a corner and revives his career and character in Buffalo. I’m not counting on it though.

I posted it somewhere else but have a good friend that is a scout with the Bears. He texted me as soon as the Bills signed him. He said that “hes been a cancer everywhere that he’s been.” He also said, “we paid him to stay home and started winning games as soon as we did.” I know that this isn’t shocking but it’s interesting to hear from that side. My buddy is a former player and generally gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. He went out of his way to say what an idiot Claypool is. That was discouraging.

I was the opposite on Coleman coming out. I did not like him as a prospect (at all really). He doesn’t separate. With that being said, I wouldn’t read too much into him getting locked up by Ingram/Elam/etc. Coleman isn’t a guy that is going to look great in shorts. He wins with body control and physicality. That doesn’t really translate to practice. The guys that win in shorts tend to be guys that create space (like Beasley). We won’t know Coleman’s impact until the regular season imo.

They haven’t prioritized the position in the draft so it is a little unique to them. How many total receivers have been drafted since Beane got here? Coleman, Shakir, Davis, Shorter, Hodgins, McCloud and Proehl is the answer (I think). Prior to Coleman it was a 5th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 6th & 7th (if that list is right). They haven’t invested prime assets in the position. That’s why you get this group, which on paper is bottom 3 in the NFL.

I’ve done LA and NY so I kind of double count them. There are 30 stadiums total. I haven’t seen the Bills play at the Giants or at the Chargers but I count it still. What’s your list? Mine is: Buffalo, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cleveland, Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee, New York, New England, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit, Carolina, & Dallas.

This thread inspired me. Booked LA this morning.

Lol, it is such a bad group on paper. It’s like a drought era position group playing with the guy that will end up as the best player we’ve ever had. Weird. I agree on the 6 from the OP. Claypool has ability and is good in shorts. If he’s focused he will have to play some. Otherwise it’s a mix of different role players.

I’ve been there 3 or 4 times for Bills games (and another 3 or 4 for Yankee games). It was only like a 4 hour trip from New Orleans so that’s where we’d catch our teams. Houston, as a city is SO spread out. It’s kind of a crappy downtown. The Bills parties were always at Christian’s Tailgate. That was fun. The tailgating scene there was pretty non-existent. There aren’t really Texans fans. It’s kind of like the Jags. It’s an okay time and it should be a good game. As a destination for a road game though it would be near the bottom of my list. On a side note, the AFC South has, BY FAR, the least passionate fans of any division.

It’s Seattle for me. I have a goal of seeing the Bills play in every stadium (potentially excluding Philly). I’m exactly halfway there. Seattle is a place that I’ve never been and the opportunity to see the Bills there doesn’t come around often. This is an easy one for me.
