Here is an aerial view of New Orleans; "hockey" arena next to a football stadium.
Gives a sense of scale. Our new football stadium would be bigger than old Superdome, but gives you an idea of how a football stadium would fit in my "Hellhole Triangle" referenced above.
Oakland has large outdoor stadium and indoor coliseum in same parking lot right on the. BART. train line. Saw a lot of concerts there and a couple of baseball games, bad neighborhood though, nothing to do after the game but get the hell out of there.

Go down to Key Bank Center, and start heading south down Ohio St. along the water.
The whole area quickly turns to abandoned ghost town pretty quickly, and is bordered by the current arena, the Buffalo River, and the NYS Thruway.
Call it "Hellhole Triangle".
That is where the stadium should be and probably will go. That type of zoning is very similar to where they put Nationals Stadium in DC for the same reason: large amounts of land available on the cheap and easily purchased.
Pegula could buy that entire chunk of real estate for nothing and truly convert it into his Pegulaville.
On a side note: this dude lucks out and finds his way from nothing to $3 billion and change...what does he do with it? Buy 2 sports teams in Buffalo, NY and turns into a small time real estate developer...in Buffalo, NY.
I guess buying a small Greek Island for himself and parking a 180' yacht there while shagging hot chicks and building his collection of 1950s and 1960s Ferraris seemed like a bad idea.
Further south on Ohio St. is where kids (including me and my friends) would party and race cars in the 70's. Cars would line both sides of the street to party and motorheads would race down the middle. I know folks that own property on the lake out there and some First Ward folks that would be happy with that location.

Not sure who to root for but I think the Chargers will win and win the division. Chiefs losing also helps draft obviously and I think if the Bills can somehow win 2 of 3 the Titans and Ravens will be the teams vying for wild card spots. Who knows? Gotta win Sunday first.
Looking at the schedule there might be 4 teams at 9-7 fighting for 2 spots. Just hoping the Bills can win a couple and get in the mix.

have they thrown to McCoy yet?

Seriously, isn’t that a penalty. You can’t gonhelmet to helmet on anyone.
Announcers acting like your head is fair game if you dont slide.
-
that spot wasn t even close
-
Why do they never throw to McCoy? I dont get it. Also, that was an obvious helmet hit.
-
Couple nice throws and catches.
-
I remember OJ running for 230 or so in heavy snow against the jets. My brothers and playing tackle in the snow on the steep hill of the ramps at halftime.
-
Glad that punt bounced.
-
Throw to McCoy. I really hope Dennison is gone after this year. I know everything is hard in this weather but his play calling shows no imagination whatsoever.

Still cant think of one reason Webb shouldnt be playing QB in a game where passing isnt going to factor in the game.
Why they don t they ever throw it to McCoy? Benjamin can't catch in the snow evidently. McCoy in space would be deadly today.

Unfortunately in my opinion we are a depressed City and fan base. We play the victim role and believe we can't have "anything nice". We are a City who hates ourselves and consistently puts ourselves down. We leave the City and area in droves and we tell anyone who asks us about Buffalo, we say we hate it here/there and we're never going back. Then when someone talks about our city and region we get offended. Colin Cowherd is 100% correct about us...Back to the topic at hand. The Buffalo Bills aren't leaving.
I left for the west coast 35 years ago and I love going back to Buffalo, my wife from Oregon loves it too. We tell people it is a beautiful city and region with fun loving people. I think a lot of us had to leave for economic reasons and it is hard to relocate once established. The article was garbage and the Bills are never leaving Buffalo. Now if they could get really good again and cheer up this fan base.☺

I don't disagree with your assessment of Gronk*. I still believe the fanbase would cheer the villain that becomes their champion.
I am sure you are right that many would, luckily many still care about fair play and sportsmanship (not sure how many of the Pats fans). I am glad Tre was not more seriously injured.

This is why I don't want him as the Bills QB. He seems primadonna-ish to me. Reminds me of Jeff George.
I have heard he is arrogant and not universally liked by his teammates and I don't think he would do well in the cold or be durable. Hoping the Bills dont go for him, hope they avoid Allen as well. 56% comp 2 yrs in a row in a weak conference is not very impressive.

It is more of an expression of fan mentality than the actual purchasing of a jersey. That explained I bet you have a whole closet full of them.
Your expression was way off. Same with your bet. I am a fan of the team and the game. A lot of us are not fanboys of star players or purchasers of jerseys, also the integrity of the game is far more important than any idol worship. No, I don't own any jerseys and if I was a pats fan with an 87 jersey I would not feel proud wearing it. The guy needs mental help and roid rehab.

I have a feeling Cleveland will go for Rosen. Just a hunch. He seems more ready to start immediately, and will battle Kizer for the job. And who knows, if they fired the GM and Hue Jackson likes McCarron enough, maybe they go for him, Draft Barkley #1 and wait till their pick from the Texans if they like a guy like Mayfield. Could definitely see them going the “Dallas/Jacksonville” route, or even trading down with a team like the Bills, and they’d have potentially 3 1st’s and 3 2nd’s this year. That’s 6 guys to inject into a really really bad lineup immediately. They might believe that they need that much more talent before they can take a QB. Remember, this is the Browns.
Do you think the Bills are a qb away or do they need a lot more talent as well? The o line, d line, lb, wr etc all need infusion of talent for next year. Who is the guaranteed star qb to bet this draft on?
-
Top 5 in order of comp % ? 4 yd check downs pad that stat. How about in order of 3rd down passing conversion rate? Bet that stat tells a different story.
-
Looks like the Bills will have a shot at a good qb. Hope they don't have to trade up to get him.
-
Taggart saying he was up front and honest with his players while they are on twitter calling him a liar. Did the same thing his two schools before Oregon. Should have known better when they hired him. Great recruiter but average game coach imo.

Everyone on this site would have his jersey if he was a Bill.
Do you seriously think everyone on this site buys football jerseys?

Thought! (My head hurts)
What if they moved preseason to this as a precursor to eventually going that direction. I agree, the helmet especially is currently a weapon not a protector.
Curious what the data on brain injury suggests from the leather days.
They have data on brain injuries from the leatherhead days? You are joking?
-
You build a great o line and a lot of qbs and rbs look good. Add in a good defense and you win a lot of games. A qb can only take a team so far by himself. A few good veterans will be available. I wouldn't spend too much draft capital moving up.

Pretty good here in Oregon too. I miss Colorado, used to spend time in Telluride, Crested Butte and Aspen in the 80's. Saw a lot of shows at Red Rocks too. Beautiful state.
Ya, Atlanta can be a very dangerous place. We visit my brother there. Had a late night run in with armed thieves after a show at the OMNI.
