    I love Newton I just don't know how the Bills extract maximum value from him and Ed Oliver. Can this team afford to spend a 1st roind pick on a guy who plays the same position as their best defensive player? I don't know. To be honest I don't think Newton will be there anyway. So it is all moot.

     

    I think you could figure out a way to get him on the field with Oliver a lot.

    ”From what I know.”???

     

    It’s 2024 dude. You can pop the word Aiyuk into Youtube and you’ll see all you can know.

     

    From what I know. Shut up.

     

    I can pop in a Youtube and find Chase Claypool highlights.  

     

    He plays in the west coast and no one ever pays attention to the west coast in anything because the west coast hasn't been good since the mid 90's.  You don't even have good beaches and you're by the ocean.

    Titans game where we smashed them.

    What price did you set the tickets at?
     


    The vast majority do not do either of these things. You're falling into the trap of "I do these things, therefore others do as well". It's an easy trap to fall into.

    There was a study done last year that showed that more than half of America has ZERO saved for retirement. Literally 0. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

    And they certainly are not saving for college education either.

    My good friend worked for a car dealership. He would often tell stories of people on welfare and food stamps that would arrive and request to test drive a vehicle with a $500 per month payment. Sometimes he even got them approved (I believe with some smudging of numbers). They happily drove off.

    People have no problem spending $89 per month for Bills seasons.
     

     

     

    That's because more than 50% of the people in this country make $50,000 or less and they don't have enough disposable income.

    Because of every day family expenses and cost of living. 

     

    The majority of the Bills seasons ticket holders are not making $22.00 an hour and paying $1,100 PER ticket.

    I'm not sure about you guys but I have to buy Health Insurance from my company which is pretty pricey.

     

    I also put a good percentage towards my 401K as well.

     

    This is all before I even get my check.

     

    Don't you all have kids to send to college too ?

     

    I'm afraid the numbers just don't add up

     

    It doesn't add up.  Groceries for a family of four probably averages $500-$600 a month.

    Are you under the impression that it is $1,100 per MONTH? 

    It's not. 

     

    The 300-level is (on average - sections vary) 9 monthly payments of $89 per month. The 100 level is on average 9 monthly payments of $122 per month.

    Therefore if you wanted to use a monthly budget, it would be $3,200/mo take home, with $3,111 left after budgeting the seasons in the 300's, and $3,078 leftover in the 100's. 
     


    Yeah, they are.

     

     

    I didn't mean for it to be taken too literally.  Yes I know some people spend ridiculously above their budget but it's not the majority.  

    The majority of your season ticket holders are going to be your middle to upper middle class that live in your regular suburban neighborhoods.

     

    $122 a month for someone with a family is difficult of a $22.00 an hour income.  It would probably be top 5 most expensive payment he has. This is assuming it's just him going and not the other members of the family.

    Not to mention parking, food, beer/drinks, merchandise....

    "Best" implies how good of a player they were, so in that regard, it's Diggs by a landslide.

     

    If we're just going off of who I liked the most, it's Fitzpatrick. 

     

    Best is always subjective.  

     

    I think Jim Kelly was the best player in the Bills Super Bowl run. 

     

    However, if you're just looking at how good of a player they were...it was Bruce Smith.  He is one of two Bills players that are legendarily good as in one of the greatest ever at their position.  That's not Jim Kelly.

    The take home pay of $150,000 is $9,400/month.

     

    $3,000 per ticket is 1/3 of their monthly take home pay.

     

    See a similarity here? Again, this is all on purpose. The Bills (and other teams) calculate these prices for the exact reason i’m showing home.

     

    If a person takes home $9,400 a month, with that $3,000 ticket, he still has $6,400 a month to live off of.  

     

    A guy that takes home $3,200 a month, that $1,100 hurts him a lot more.  That's only $2,100 leftover.  Mortgage/Rent, groceries, utilities, car payments, general family every day costs....yeah that guy isn't buying $1,100 tickets.

    Notice that the discussion has been moved from people earning $22/hr buying PSLs to people making $50k a year buying current season tickets. This is how Einstein operates. 

     

    It's pretty ridiculous.  

     

    Families making $22.00 an hour aren't buying $1,100 tickets and it doesn't make up the vast majority of the stadium lol.

    It was more than that too...He threw a pass that went right through the defenders hands and should have been another pick 6. Think it went to Metzalaars. And Houston not playing for an onside kick. Crazy stuff.

    But I get your point, for one magical 28 minutes or so he was unbelievable! A HOF moment in an otherwise forgettable career. 

     

    There are so many variables in games and you're only pointing out the negative ones towards the Bills.

    I was in medical school watching the game on TV. Came so close to turning it off and going for a walk. I understand the love for the comeback game.

    Don't understand the love for Reich. Heck more love should go to the refs for not seeing Beebe step out of bounds or Talley commit pass interference in OT. 


    Geezus dude.

     

    When a team is up by 32 in the 3rd quarter, 2 missed calls shouldn’t be determining the game.

     

    Are you 100% sure there wasn’t any missed calls on Houston?  It did they play a perfectly flawless game?

     

    What Reich did in the game outweighs those two missed calls.  It had 1 million percent more influence on the game.

    Club season tickets are ~$3,000 per ticket. That is 2% of a $150k annual family income.

     

    100-level season tickets are ~1,100 per ticket. That is 2.2% of a $50k annual family income.

    300-level season tickets are ~$800 per ticket. That is 1.4% of a $50k annual family income.

    This is not an accident. It's by design. The Bills price each level to appeal to the demographic. The % of income is near-identical but there are FAR more 300 level and 100-level seats than club seats.

    So yeah, I would be shocked if the average current season ticket holder was not around the median income level of the Buffalo region. Not sure if you looked around the fans at a Bills game, but it's not 70,000 neurosurgeons, corporate executives and scientists.
     


    PS, there is also a reason why season ticket renewal date is March 15th (hint).

     

    The take home pay of someone around $50,000 is roughly $3,300.  $1,100 for a ticket is 1/3 of their monthly take home pay.  

     

    Yes, I know its not full of doctors and executives.  I am not a doctor or executive and sit in the 1st row in every game I can attend.  The people I sit next to aren’t doctors and executives either.
