    I thought it was an egregious call as well. Then I asked myself: what is the alternative? Remember that the Rams player had possession of the ball on the ground. So we have three options, maybe 4:

     

    (1) Incomplete pass. Impossible. The ball never hit the ground.

    (2) Kroft catch. Impossible. He didn't have possession at the end of the play.

    Yes he did, since he is being touched by a defender, as soon as a body part, other than hand or foot, touches the ground, he is down, play over.

    Almost 50 yrs ago now which really isn't that long ago R.W. & the Bills looked at getting a new home that is now known as New Era field. Named Rich stadium at the time of opening it was state of the art back then . I had a friend send this article to me a while back & i was going through my emails erasing a bunch of the old ones to get some space when i came across it .

     

    Erie county broke ground on April 4th 1972 & they opened it on Aug. 17th 1973 at a construction cost of $22 million which now a days the cost is $1 Billion + what a difference in !! You could repave the parking lot for that today for what it cost to build the stadium then !

     

    We all know when it opened it was Rich Stadium and held close to 80K fans if i think  ? you all can straighten me out on the true amount then and now but i know it was a pretty large stadium at the time and i believe still is pretty large as far as how many fans it holds .

    No longer living in western NY i don't get to see many if any articles that come out of the Buffalo news so looking at this was definitely pretty cool,  a lot of you have probably already seen this and it may have been posted a while ago but i thought looking back might give us a break from all the other things that are in the news & other places that we get our reading material.

     

    In the article it has one frame that show the seat prices and i was wondering how much change there has been in the prices since the opening of the stadium if any one knows what the new prices are please let us know it would be very interesting to see how much the increase has been since 1973 .

     

    I hope you all enjoy it ! 

    3 years is soon?? What's your definition of imminent then?

    I think it's McCoy for Alonso.  Alonso sucked as a Bill and he has sucked in Miami.  Plus he's a dirty piece of *****.

     

    I'll also add getting a 3rd round pick for Tyrod Taylor.  That was absolutely beautiful.

    It's Hughes and it's not even close, but Alonso sucked as a Bill? What the hell were you watching? Stick to something else you don't know.

  4. My bad, fake news, got my Smiths mixed up. Doug Smith played for the Sabres and I thought Doug Smith played dline for the Bills, alas, it was Don Smith, and yes I know another Don Smith was a rb for the Bills. There were two Doug Smiths that played in the NFL, one oline, the other dline, and they played at the same time of dline Don Smith.

    He hasn't signed with the Bills yet or played a down for them so I don't know if you're counting 2020 7th Round DB Dane Jackson and the obscure Sabre (and mostly Amerk) of the same name?

    Nope, could be 3 sets of names now if he makes the team.

    oh, okey dokey

  6. ok, another trivia, this is bills/sabres. it's a little hard to word correctly. i need just 2 names that 4 players have had in common. 2 for the bills, 2 for the sabres, e.g, joe blow played for Bills and Sabres, john doe played for the Bills and Sabres, their careers didn't overlap.
