From today's news. Erie County legislators push for public hearings for Bills stadium lease deal
If there are "hearings" and related nonsense, the stadium is dead. Anything grubby WNY politicians get their hands on dies a slow agonizing death. I guarantee if there are hearings a vocal minority will dominate the dialogue and the stadium is dead. And if the stadium dies, we all know what happens next.
But hey, we got one hell of a carousel. That is our national claim to fame.

I put up a cheesy poll and got deleted by moderators (one of whom is a documented grumpy old fart).
This one gets a pass? Moderation on TSW is about equal as NFL officiating.

Nice write up. PhD thesis level in it's detail. You're the G. K. Chesterton of TSW, a compliment.
The old narrative was the Bills haven't beaten anybody. The new narrative is KC is a bunch of nobodies--so the Bills still haven't beaten anybody. A win in TN would be sweet and would shut-up a lot of naysayers.

I have repeated visions of Josh Allen rushing into the end zone and spinning the ball into the turf in celebration. Anyone have a link?

At work. Major software pooped all over itself. Can’t do work.
Amuse me.
I was always a bit envious of those who could surf here from their office.
My office network had tight policies and traffic was monitored. They monitored the address you went to, and there was a random screenshot program monitored by some schmoe GS-7. You could always tell when they screen-shot you, your monitor blinked.
The good websites were blacklisted at the outbound firewall. I never dared try TBD or the TSW.

I was never super hard on Knox but just didn't feel like his hands would get better.
Me too. But he did two things over the summer: 1) the TE university, 2) that "hands coach" or whatever you want to call it.
He went from having hands of stone, to hands of stick'em. Amazing transformation. Just goes to show you how a self-motivated player can change over an off-season.

He may not be the best QB in the league, but he's the best QB, without doubt, for the Buffalo Bills.
Now stop the God comparisons, that's blasphemy.

Please let us win a Lombardi before the Bills move out of town because the feckless politicians can't get a stadium deal done.

As they say in real war, when things really count: fix bayonets.
God Bless America and the Buffalo Bills.

Downtown or OP.. never mind. This is a very wrong time for that conversation.

So.. Q for Moderators: Would you rather moderate a 1 PM game, or a night game?
Seems a 1 PM game is easier, since most posters are half in the tank before a night game even starts.

Coaching is definitely important, not arguing with that. I've just seen enough times where the coaching was fine, but the players sure weren't.
Conversely, I've seen situations where the players were fine, and the coaching was subpar. The entire Rex Ryan era comes to mind.

I'm quasi-interested in casinos. The intellectual challenge of playing odds is very interesting.
But to be shallow: the cigarette smoke gets to me. There is literally a cloud in every casino I have visited. What is it with gamblers and smoking? Is it OCD?

I hope Milano can play. With him on the field the defense is elite. Then again we had a couple backups playing against the Texans and still shut them out. Our defense's success this year is more about coaching than talent IMO.
I prefer Milano not play. Hamstrings can be a lingering injury if not handled right.
Yeah. If Leslie Frazier doesn't get a Head Coaching gig soon, it will be a big letdown.
Same with Daboll.

As for your roofer, that is exactly my point. The new stadium will not be for people like him...it is for the professionals making well into the 6 figures.
You haven't spent much time in Amherst, or looking at who is buying the hundreds of new houses put in in Lancaster lately? Sure, were are not loaded with people whos net worth is over $100 million dollars....but in terms of people making 6 figures....I think there are more than you believe there are in the metro Buffalo and Rochester area.
And that day, my friend, will be when I lose a bit of enthusiasm for the Bills. I remember being a scruffy 20 year old scraping enough together to buy a ticket, park the car and tailgate. I went to Dickies Donuts down the road after. Life was the balls and you didn't have to be a 6-figure.

I can’t find it now but I read an article saying that the extent of the breach wasn’t yet known and the hackers may have had full access to anything that relies on Amazon Web Services (their cloud platform) and it said if your data was stored anywhere on those servers that it could be compromised even if you’ve never used twitch.
I guess I should have said Amazon data “may have been breached” (we know twitch was for sure).
as far as the leaked data, I saw people talking about it on Reddit. There was a link to download all the data and some people saying it contained passwords. But I don’t know if that’s actually true or not.
If AWS was hacked, we're in deep kimchi. I mean President addressing both houses of congress kimchi. 3/4 of national security runs on AWS.
Regarding passwords.. no way. Bezo's didn't become the world's richest divorcee by being an idiot. Amazon passwords are thoroughly hashed and salted.

Just that a large number of the current 'tailgate' crowd will be replaced by older people with higher incomes that aren't tailgaters
Too bad Buffalo is an economic wasteland and there's about 4 of these people with higher incomes of which you speak.
My roofer can't afford downtown, but he can afford OP.

Just say "CHEAP."
Ever wonder why UB is in Amherst? One of Nelson Rockefeller's major donors owned that land.
Additionally, Rockefeller was a tremendous racist and wanted UB in the suburbs to isolate it.
He also oversaw a design of the Robert Moses Parkway that couldn't accommodate Greyhound buses, for the same reason.

If the state pitches in enough money to make a downtown location the same cost as OP, do you think the team really cares that it’s not in OP? Is there one reason other than cost why the team cares if they stay in OP?
The team would gladly move downtown if NY contributed enough to make it cost neutral to staying in OP.
I'll eat my shorts if Albany contributed the billion+ needed to make a downtown stadium feasible. We aren't the Yankees or the Mets.

Okie dokey. If NY wants to dictate the location, then NY foots the majority of the stadium cost. It works no other way.
The major financier gets their choice of location.
I guarantee: The Bills are not financing a stadium in a location against their wishes. They want Orchard Park.
I'm sure the Bills would accept a downtown stadium, as long as they aren't the wallet being pick-pocketed.

Rooting for Dallas (I never thought I'd say that) over New England.
New England needs to stay in the basement chained to the chimney. We can't have them middling at 500 with aspirations to overtake us.
