So why would a Bills official say they can't get it done? Is it possible the Bills themselves arent interpreting the rules correctly? I know that sounds silly but crazier things have happened.
Edit: I'm still obviously confused but are we saying the Bills 65 standing Buffalo prevents us from having another alternate helmet? so what Sal reported was right, but the rule doesn't apply to teams who don't already have an alternate / throwback helmet? (I thought at least the jets do, but maybe they gave the historical throwback helmet up?)
yeah, apparently you can't have a primary helmet an alternate helmet and a throwback helmet(must choose one of either alternate or throwback) in same year as that would be 3.
ohhhh unless you are the Chargers. 🤣🤣 🤣 then you can have 3. lol that's 3 diff helmets FYI.....3 diff logo designs color combos
oh and the Jets did scrap the throwbacks, I guess, so they can roll out the black helmets.

I am just going off of the Sal tweet from early in the thread that said the alternate helmet color can only be used by either color rush/alternate or throwback unis.
I want the current uniform with the red helmet. TBH I want us to have our own identity with the red helmet and not dressing up as the 90s.
"Spoke to Bills COO Ron Raccuia who told me the red helmet Josh Allen wore won’t be a helmet they wear in 2022 because the league only allows an alternate helmet with either:
1. Throwback unis
2. Color rush/alternate unisBills can’t wear red helmet with the throwbacks because the throwbacks use the standing buffalo while the red Josh had on is the charging buffalo. No match
Their color rush unis are all red. Can’t use it with those because all red head/toe is not their preferred look.
So the Bills will either wait until the NFL changes policy and allows an alternate helmet with regular home/away uniforms, or wait to unveil a new alternate uniform themselves."
which completely contradicts all the teams who just rolled out alternate helmets they will wear with current primary uniforms. Black: Saints Jets Commanders Panthers Cardinals Eagles. Red: Texans. Orange: Bears. White: Cowboys. Bengals not clear may just be color rush.
3 hours ago, LeGOATski said:Exactly. Not sure why they didn't just make a 90s alternate.
Personally, I'm of the unpopular opinion that they should redesign the logo entirely. While iconic and special for us, the two Bills logos are objectively bad; poorly designed.
90's would then be throwbacks and the 65 red standing bison throwback set would have to be scrapped.
apparently, you can only have two choices for helmets, one primary and either one alternate or one historical throwback. (and throwback must include appropriate matching historical uniform set)
and most fans and critics disagree with your last statement about the Bills logos.

I agree, but they'd have to drop either the AFL throwbacks or the color rush if they do that. They can't have all three. Have to pick two.
they could change the throwbacks to red helmet SB set 1990. Then would have to drop the standing bison throwbacks 65' uni set completely.
Then revamp color rush to use red helmet as part of color rush.
continue with current uni set as primary.
this equals two shell limit per NFL.
1 red 1 white. both w running bison
orrrrrrr just do as Bengals and all the other alternate helmets unveil for this coming year(Giants and Pats did throwbacks) did and just introduce an alternate helmet (Red) with a modern flair if desired or copy SB era..
Then can also wear it with color rush when needed for that game, and with standard uni they have now for select games.
continue with current uni set as primary.
this equals two shell limit per NFL.
1 red 1 white. both w running bison. (65" Throwbacks would not be allowed i guess as it has diff logo and would constitute a third helmet)
anyone know if i am in error?
apparently, none of it matters for this year as Bills never submitted proper paperwork to add any alternate helmet or change throwback set in time per rumors.

the blue stripes are terrible. Get some white stripes back on that like 90's SB era or pitch them in dumpster.
2 hours ago, What a Tuel said:Allen's is pretty rough, I was super excited. Maybe the NFL will take notice of how excited people were and change the dumb rule.
Are the Bengals uniforms color rush with the white helmet?
No Bengals are just an alternate helmet.
1 hour ago, TheyCallMeAndy said:Allen may have “trolled” us but I highly doubt this was random. I very much think we have red helmets in our future, be it alternates or the main, and this was more foreshadowing.
That wasn’t the 90’s or 00’s red helmet either, the double blue stripes are unique.
and fugly as fuch too. lol

No way man. He won’t be ready or back to himself until next year. tre white likely won’t be playing majority of season either and he tore his acl 3 months earlier.

youtube has virtually all of that but can be hard to find and quality can be poor. But poor quality vid mirrors the view when we watched on fuzzy TV back then. LOL

Provided below is a breakdown of the NFL+ and NFL+ Premium products:
NFL+
Live local and primetime games on mobile and tablet devices
Live out-of-market preseason games across all devices
Live game audio (home, away and national calls) for every game of the season
NFL library programming on-demand (ad-free)
$4.99/month or $39.99/year
NFL+ Premium (includes features of product formerly known as NFL Game Pass)
All features of NFL+
Full game replays across devices (ad-free)
Condensed game replays across devices (ad-free)
Coaches Film including All-22 (ad-free)
$9.99/month or $79.99/year
So still no live-stream of out-of--market games. $40/year gets you live radio, $80/year gets you replays.
Looks like I'll still watch at the bar or find a stream online.
it says live local and primetime games on mobile and tablet.
Is this typo? It says live not delayed.

This doesn’t surprise me.
What were they going to do? Franchise tag him after this year?
The Browns giving Watson that obscene ( in more ways than one) contract just upped the ante for all who follow.
i would have franchise tagged him for two years. If he does not then pan out by that time, i let him go as FA and be someone else's dilemma.

I find it surprising that the dolphins are 2nd!
"For sale" posted ticket prices can be very different than "actual" ticket sales prices
Every ticket for sale on Stubhub, Ticket Exchange, ... is a ticket that has NOT been sold
hmm. Actually every ticket on those sites are secondary market tix.. They were already purchased by someone before putting on those sites to resell. 🤷♂️

Shade is not the same thing as a dome.
I do not mind covered top to shield from sun and deflect rain but every dome I have been has been uncomfortable no matter time of year.
I do agree that cold / wet can be very uncomfortable. I sat thru the Bills-Brown game to the end with a friend and my nephew.
I think Minnesota stadium looks very good alternate but I have not tried it.
uncomfortable in a 70-degree dome? Really?

Nobody is forcing anybody to go to a football game tho
It’s been open air for 50+ years… You know what you’re dealing with … if you don’t want to go , fans can stay home
And there are plenty of fans who do want to keep open air.. 75% of the people didn’t say dome on the survey and then they just chose open air
every public poll. Every article asking fans. Every FB poll asking for responses show more than 50% want a dome. Most showed 60 to 80 % favoring a dome.
many of these likely are fans who will not go in cold bad weather. And older fans. You also hear time and again younger fans who wish to bring older family members but they cannot tolerate the elements. Bills are missing out on large fan attendance group. The partial roof may appease many and hopefully will work. The Tottenham HotSpurs stadium template populous said they will follow, looks like a great compromise.
looking forward to the new stadium with the wind negated.
Survey Shows What Bills Fans Want for New Stadium in Buffalo (driveresearch.com)
www.driveresearch.com/market-research-company-blog/survey-shows-what-bills-fans-want-for-new-stadium-in-buffalo/
Only 33% of Buffalo Bills fans are satisfied with the decision to not add a roof to the new stadium.
Bills fans want a mechanized roof, more entrances and exits for cars, and additional bathrooms in the new Buffalo stadium.

Where are you getting this from?populous release stated this. Tottenham is the template.
Tottenham has a good amount of seats deep in endzones that look like virtually are all covered.

end zones will be covered. likely to mitigate winds also. They made that mistake with Rich Stadium and now can fix it.

OK, here's the solution.
Knock off the ref's constant announcements during the game, especially the challenge plays.
Two officials have mics.
The ref tells the other one to make these stupid announcements that everyone knows about anyway.
The ref gets the challenge, goes to the tent, rules and relays the ruling.
The way it is now is bizarre.
the ref has to confirm exactly what the coach wants reviewed. So i understand why they walk over.
But one ref can walk over to coach as review ref goes to the camera with hood to review. Then walk ref can radio over to review ref and relay what coach is challenging.
-------------------------------------------------------------
on related not i always find it odd coaches review if player made the first down. That they challenge if it is a first down. Why? If player does not make first down they lose challenge and lose timeout.
Why not challenge spot of ball was short of actual spot? That way if it clearly was marked short, yet was still not a first down, the ball can be moved to actual spot and team wins challenge, and does not lose a timeout even if first down not made.
at times ball is clearly marked short then review shows new spot was far forward but yet not a first down so team loses challenge when they actually should have won the challenge as ball was marked short originally.

What! No dome!?
im out
Jk
it is basically a dome. Just a hole on top. Don't worry. They can close it later when they get smart and realize all the fans want an open air yet want to sit in suites or under cover w heaters over their heads. 🤷♂️😂

If the Bills decide to make a circle of fame they need to make sure there is room for all the new legends names upcoming not just with names from our historys past. Im torn about taking OJ's name down. So much of history is being cancelled I say his name stays. But if they decide to not include him Im not gonna lose sleep either
Having a bills mafia representation at the new venue in an even bigger scale would be really cool I think. Wouldn't a Bills museum be awesome? @sven233 Include the Bills mafia legends. Represent our super fans like Pancho Villa and the Chefs. Elvis with his guitar and make an exhibit for the fans to celebrate the history of the Buffalo Bills and their fans.
replace OJ with "The Electric Company" ??

Another thing about alcohol that many people don't seem to realize is that it causes cancer.
I only learned this a couple years ago, and am really surprised it's not more well known.
yeah all fried food and any food browned causes cancer. Even toast. As does salty fish and salty soups as Japanese research into their high stomach cancer rates found.
all meat especially red meat. it never ends. Breathing in metro CA is like a 3 cigs or up to 1 pack a day smoker lung result.
I firmly believe our life expectancy is longer than it should have been obviously. In which case shorter lifespan of a few years due to diet has lowered worries of diet killing you.
Life expectancy has steadily increased but has taken a few year hit due to covid, and even more now due to uneducated unvaxxed dying at such a high rate. But that is a common and expected human nature proponent of life expectancy.

No caffeine and nicotine are absolutely drugs, as is alcohol. Nicotine and alcohol are basically the leading causes of death in the US (cigarettes obviously, but alcohol aside from the obvious impacts also gets converted into cholesterol by the liver).
The War on Drugs was beneficial in what way exactly?
The way I see it is that the war on drugs literally caused this situation we are in. I don't want to get into a situation where we get this thread locked and I think this could be a really positive conversation where we both learn and grow, just probably not in this thread. That said, I strongly encourage you to read about what has been done in the Netherlands and their approach to drugs.
Also, check out the research around psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and mdma (ecstacy)and the impacts on PTSD and major depression. It's insane.
I've lost way too many friends and acquaintances to this crap (at least five in the last two years, and at least ten overall). None of them were into any serious drugs when I was hanging out with them either (most got into it post college).
One wasn't even an addict, just took some benzos and drank too much just about 10 years ago. She was such an amazing person and I miss her so much.
Another was one of my best friends from high school's brother. Was close to the brother too. Think that was fentanyl. That one, of all of them got me the worst, like very much not close to starting to even really process it. To the point that I haven't even talked to my friend in almost two years since it happened, let alone written him a text saying I was sorry for his loss cause I don't know what to say.
Abstinence only education and punishment are not going to solve these problems.
it's not the nicotine that kills smokers, it's the lung damage from inhaling smoke and the cancer chemicals coming with that smoke.
alcohol kills over long term by attacking brain and organs. Short term if OD also.
alcohol behavior is deadly as so many fight kill rape suicide after drinking and drive after drinking.
but omg yes fentanyl is the devil incarnate. sad for all loses. meth is devil too but not as acutely fatal.
For those who want the red helmet back… (Josh trolls everyone)

no. The red helmet is part of throwback for Falcons.
