I live in NE which makes this a little more intense for me. Losing to BB will be a really crappy way to be one and done, the worst possible way. Knocking them out will be a really high high for a wildcard round. I think the Bills are the better team but that does not guarantee they will win. Personally I will be pretty stressed going into it, but this is the fun of sports.

I thought the cafeteria food would have been provided by the team. Who thought Ralph was cheap?

You are right, the price could get worse but if you are sure it might be the best way. There is risk any way you cut it...the Bills took risk off of a 1 year performance.

He has gone downhill performance wise from his rookie year which was pretty good. This year is tough because he has a significant injury that he is playing through and is affecting him which could cost him a lot of money. But I think he gets healthy, plays next year on the option and then the Browns can decide.

They both have a 5th year option plus franchise tags to let it play out and decide later, there is no pickle, no need to panic and make a rush decision.

The only reasonable option after seeing this is to offer all home games to the opposing team. They will all take it. Home games are the problem. Let’s eliminate the problem

There is no path to a dome.

Im sure the opponent would not like it but it’s life in the big city. If it’s the bills and josh Allen not available would you want them to try to adjust?

I think they would try to make reasonable accommodations, move the game out a couple days, not past Tuesday though. There are teams that wont be in the post season because of Covid already.

It seems the Bengals could go anywhere from 1-4 but most likely 3-4. Depending on Burrow's injury, they could rest up maybe.

Nothing makes me think Trubisky is going to generate a lot of interest this year. Do another deal with him.

I bet Terry Bradshaw put that up there.

I understand the weather concern but would you rather play KC at home or on the road, Cinci at home or on the road, Tenn at home or on the road. Given the choice, would you really choose on the road?

He gets stood up every-time, going to be a critical fumble at some point. I think McKenzie is actually a little safer, and better.

So weather does not matter against the patriots only?

What about the weather, game will be at home. Last game against them at home with weather was a loss.

So they butt fumbled?

No need to punt if you throw ints.

This seems really unlikely.

You would have to do a cost benefit analysis which I assume has been done and shows the payback is not there. From what I have seen online, studies have shown the playback is not there for these expensive venues.

You got Atlanta's best effort, they were playing for their playoff lives. Sometimes you gotta just grind it out.

Things have changed, public support for these types of things has gone down a lot. The game is a lot more profitable now than in 1970 even if you adjust for inflation. California has lost support for these and have lost teams as a result so I get what you are saying....but advocating for a much more expensive option so a couple games a year are in a better environment seems irresponsible unless the Pegula's are self funding....or some random fan pony's up the "extra half a bil"

Like publicly funded stadiums......

That would cost a lot more, you are right, but no one is coming back in three years to add a roof.

It is a half a billion, what do you think that is exactly, pocket change? And where does it come from? Start a gofund me, come up with a million, you will still be 499 million short.
