I’m thrilled it’s scheduled. I understand it hurts us against KC, but every team is going to have to deal to some extent with some of these challenges.
I’m holding out hope all the games are played however it needs to happen.

Passan made a point to say " there are some cases that are symptomatic"..just because almost all cases in athletes so far have been asymptomatic, or very mild symptoms. I don't believe any hospitalizations.
I know he wasn’t hospitalized, but reading how bad this laid up Freddie Freeman should give anyone pause. -

Yuck, figured the league would have had clearer protocols in place.-

I think the NFL shot down the bubble idea initially, but maybe this will open their eyes.
-
Really tough start, they canceled their home opener today.
-
Options stink, but I figured they’d do something like this.
The thought of them holding my money interest free for a year is very annoying to me if we wind up getting zero or limited games. At least offer an opt in option with a refund in the event NO fans are allowed in all season.
I’ll have to kick it around for a few days, but in general no thanks to the NFL franchise holding my money.

Cool I’ll sign a waiver, but the person I pass it to the next day didn’t sign anything.
People can yell at the sky all they want, adjust to the reality we are living in. I hope the NFL stops the charade and announce a league wide fanless season and maybe have a chance for us to at least watch some football.
They could get out in front of it, pump in crowd noise like they are doing in Europe, make some sort of interactive fan platform (be creative), and overall stop being a joke. But it’s the NFL so they’ll surely bungle it.

It is already known that front rows are not available. If those fans go will they displace other fans? This will become a game of musical chairs. They will also need to deal with different prices of seats - those with expensive seats moved to less expensive will expect credits.
Exactly. For example I have two seats, the four to my left are STH, six in front of us are STH, and four behind us is a STH who sells every game on secondary market.
Most of us will have to move around, I just hope they release details of how that would likely be handled before I have to make a decision one way or the other. And by no fault of the NFL, they are unlikely to have that information anytime soon.

Great by them. Great they also suspended payments. I'm opting out, waiting for the official steps to be revealed. No way I'm going to that stadium with the attitudes too many people have about the danger posed by covid. Actually a really good test run to see if I'll actually miss the PITA security lines, cramped concourses, and obnoxious scoreboard. Could be the end.
This is what I’m interested to see. How much information are we going to get before opting in or out? I can’t imagine they will have a whole lot of clarity with seating capacities.
I’ll be interested in what we actually agree to by opting in. If I’m getting moved to worse seats how is that being handled? How are they chopping games between season ticket holders? Seems like a nightmare to administer.
-
I posted in another thread about this, but they claim we’ll get an option in the coming days. I’ll be a little miffed if that decision is forced on us without any plan to review.
How are we getting equivalent seats, will we get all games, how will that be determined, etc?
Wife and I may opt out just for the uncertainty.

I also received that today. Seems like a logistical nightmare.
Not sure how they will give everyone equivalent seats, split up games, choose which games you get, etc.
My wife and I are considering opting out, especially because it seems likely that decision will be pushed on us before a detailed plan is even available to review.

All of Adams' answers were deferred to communicating with Kim, Terry, and Ralph. That's all I need to hear to confirm.
The entire reason he got the job is he is willing to do 'communicate' and 'collaborate' (heard those words 100x in that PC). A real GM wouldn't stand for that. They want a bobblehead, and hired/promoted one.
Nail on the head.
-
WTF Kevyn Adams? Can someone who knows him better make me feel ok about that?
Might just be interim, but he would be another first time GM right?

I thought it was a well written piece, but I never underestimate how fiercely apologetic sports fans can be to billionaire owners.
Most of the anecdotal evidence I’ve heard supports the article. With that being said, they own the teams and can mismanage them as they see fit. I’m just shocked how many people get fired up to defend them despite having even less evidence than the writer.

I worked a lot on my swing at the Dome this winter and only got out for 9 holes before the closures. Figures!
Stay healthy everyone.

As a long time season ticket holder it would be very weird without our Fall tailgates with friends, but I’ll celebrate just having a season at this point.
I’d be curious to see how refunds would be handled, they are certainly continuing to take the money! I know my friend who is a Sabres STH was being pushed to put refund towards future seasons, which he didn't want to do. He claims no one has responded to him since his request for a refund, but I imagine PSE is in as much turmoil as most of our employers.

This week has been one gut punch after another and I fear we are still just getting started.
-
I would say there is absolutely no chance this gets played on schedule, but if there is any organization greedy enough to go forward with it, would be the NCAA.
Have to at least push it back.

Tough luck with timing this year. It will definitely take a lot away from the tournament.
I would imagine this benefits the favorites, but there isn’t any dominant team in the field to begin with.
-
I thought I would miss BBMB, but this has been more than a suitable replacement.
I sent an angry email about it at the time to my ticket rep who called and said I wasn’t the only one.

I went last night and, as always, thoroughly enjoyed the intermission videos highlighting the 06 run and the bumper ball hockey soccer game.

I struggle naming one thing Botterill does well through three seasons.
For a cap guru, he has managed the cap poorly.
The ROR trade is an objective disaster (admittedly a little hindsight there). All the talk about stabilizing the second line, which has plagued the team for years, is especially frustrating when you consider it’s mostly self inflicted. I’m shocked he could never work a trade for Risto who at least had value.
The only reason I am still ambivalent on Botterill is that I don’t see anyone having a magic fix for the team next year. Low hanging fruit would be goaltending, which has definitely cost the team points this season. But bigger issue is still secondary scoring, which I don’t see free agency fixing.
Tough time to be a Sabres fan. Settling into the sort of cynicism I felt during the Bills drought years. I would guess we don’t have many more seasons to turn it around before Eichel becomes a squeaky wheel to get out of town.

Finally watched this with the wife. I’m sure we wouldn’t have been able to get through it if they ever actually showed more of the videos. It really breaks my heart.
There is a lot of sick people. Society certainly feeds into how that sickness is expressed as we’ve seen for years. I have a lot of opinions on the online mob and outrage culture, but I the subject behind this documentary made it pretty hard for me to really think of that. The only blame is on the guy. Prison is too good for this POS

There is absolutely no justification for voting Wilson over Jackson, although I never understand why anyone other than the players care about these things.
