Bye Affordable will be cheap tickets most can afford. The teams version of affordable vs ours is drastically different unfortunately. But the team is also good now so it’s at a premium. When the up and down days someday return more will be back at a lower price.

You realize this is for club seats not regular seats. Raiders and Vikings who are two recent stadiums with PSLs had the majority 5k or less. Agreed. Buffalo basically went twenty years + now where we haven't been subjected to what the NFL is if you want a team. People would being crying hysterics if they left and forever people said they would do whatever it takes. I have some sympathy that if you had tickets for a long time you may have consider not doing that or a new seat but realistically its the price of having the biggest sport in town. The majority of PSLs for the non club/exclusive seating or top seats well be more realistic to fan costs. The Bills were better off delivering this in a better format which would've quelled angst, but regardless come opening day and for years after the place will be filled and you will have people clamoring to get in.

This is where I am at. The media fawning over an organization that has constantly proven to be one of the worst for decades in football is astonishing. They get a benefit of the doubt in a way virtually no one else does because of NYC. At a prism I do think they are actually bigger threat currently then Miami as I like a lot of the moves they made compared to Miami and I think they take Miami's playoff spot this year. The defense is solid and offense improved the line while having a good amount of playmakers. I don't think you will ever see MVP Rodgers again, but if he is even top half of the league they will win games and be a thing. With that said there are many reasons to legitimately question what they can do. No league sells hope like the NFL in the offseason which is what makes it such a fun league.

NFL schedule was released in 2023 on Thursday May 11th, so if they stick with the 2nd Thursday of May it would be the 9th this year as Gregg said ^ Typically a few big games drop in the weeks leading up, many times the international opponents are known prior. The week of the leaks will come out. I usually cover the schedule to an unhealthy extent (lol hey its my version of mock draft) on what to expect with a decent hit rate on games times etc.. This was my early thread back in February:

People forget with the cap going up so much and JJ hitting his prime the numbers may seem super high but realistically its just the direction the market is heading. Diggs has been top 3 in WR contract for a few years now, price of doing business.

Bills 2 Free Agency 0 But we overall fail to win the offseason continuing our championship offseason drought that extends since back to back titles in 2015/16.

At least your honest

It is a powerful tool for players as it ratchets the pressure on the team big time and you know the fans will not be happy either. With that said it usually is not great when guys request out and it typically is the crack that causes movement down the road even if it takes a few years.

lol you somehow made that sound even worse then I could even imagine haha

They were the last NFL franchise to not have an indoor training facility which they literally are building now. Carson Palmer is among the loudest voices that have said they will waste Joe Burrow because they are so cheap and never maximize what they have with him. The bengals are one of the few remaining franchises where the team is the sole revenue generator for the owners.

Well 3 HOFs who were at the very tail end vs some very good important players who were needing replacement and helps open the Bills cap for the long term future. The HOFs were decidedly worse because it was pretty callous how it went down regardless of all of them wanting to still play. Love the guys who we just cut but the accomplishments are vastly different here and the window is still very open with Josh. When Reed, Thomas, & Bruce left it was the last gasp of the great decade + of Bills football so it was a very empty feeling in many respects. Yesterday was expected by comparison, it just finally happen with Morse being the only maybe surprise, but I thought he was toast given his cap, age, and concussion issues. The rest Poyer Hyde White made zero sense to keep outside of sentimentality. Neal is replaceable tenfold and Hardy never made the impact you hoped and also can be replaced cheaper. Tre is really the only one I am truly sadden over just because he was tracking for a HOF caliber career and playing with Josh through this next group/window and he/we got robbed to see that which really sucked because he was such a great and fun player who loved Buffalo big time.

Don't really have space at CB and rather be younger: Douglas Benford T Johnson NCB Elam 4th CB So he would be 4th at best and your not touching Douglas/Benford/Johnson as all three graded out extremely high in coverage

I have looked at it and the last decade and half they have been the preferred divisional opponent to open with if the NFL decides we play in division to start. Recently Buffalo has played NY to open in 17, 19, 20, and 23. I actually think we open at home vs NE finally as Buffalo hasn't done that since 2013 and I think the NFL saves NYJ for later in season with Rodgers back healthy.

Athletes will use anything and I mean anything for motivation. Going into a game as big as the SB you don't say a word even if you mean it in the context he did. The damn Chiefs apparently for two years now keep saying no one believed in them... and they won the SB both times. Takes one sentence to start a fire with these guys. In fairness the drafts actually were a pretty hilarious listen

Matchup wise most years the wrong team played the NFC team and I think you saw that a lot. CLE was designed to take on a WSH or NYG personnel wise. HOU against SF would've been really fun given their skill guys. The NFC also won quite a few at the buzzer during that time. I doubt you ever see a Conference run that long without a loss again in the SB.

Reid is the top active coach and has a real argument for #1. He has had two runs of long term success in two different markets which only Shula can match to that level. BB with Brady has the best run in one time, but the arguments that Brady propped him up a bit feel more valid given the last few years, his record without Brady being sub .500, and his overall pool of coaches not being very stellar. The best credit BB has outside of NE is actually SB25 with what he did and his time with Parcells in NY both times.

Agreed. I remember the end of Kelly and crew like 95-96 timeframe and a touch of the final SB, mostly my dad sitting in a chair not saying anything. The Flutie days were fun and it was such a big deal at the time between him and RJ that seemed to encompass everything. I watched all the Bills VHS tapes my grandfather had religiously kinda the same dreaming of what it would be like to be good. It is funny because through the Bledsoe time the Bills were still a pretty respected org and bringing Tom Donahoe in at the time was a well received move (just went poorly wrong). Once the 04' season though went curtains that was when it started to truly feel like "ok this isn't going well anymore and they really are a mess" just didn't realize it would end up taking that long. I am not sure a single loss has had such a dynamic domino effect as the one to PIT did for Buffalo the subsequent moves that came in following years.

There certainly is some talent as he brought up a few I intentionally read, but he was part of the mystique of the original NFL that wasn't so corporate or perfect and the stories he had were incredible. The Sabol family with NFL films also was like that to me with how they built up the NFL in mystical legend type way with their films and everything. He was the type of voice that his opinion spoke true volumes when he used it whereas today it is about how loud and big you can be rather then if your opinion is accurate. I hope that todays media and coverage can still find ways to bring the history of the game in without having to have hot take or being the loudest voice (COLLINSWORTH/ROMO). I love Berman but his time has passed and I wish he would step down.

Yep. He was trusted in a way which it gave readers a look at so many things that you just won't normally learn about. I love how they make the schedule and it was fascinating to see how deep it goes with how much is consider. I also loved that he got to go in draft rooms and see what teams really thought. The Cowboys with Paxton Lynch and then they ended up drafting Dak was a great highlight.

End of an era. He was the last of a generation of writers that truly put out superb content that was detailed and always looking for interesting things readers wouldn't normally find. Even if I didn't agree with his article or take, I at least knew there was some true meat behind it. He always seemed to have a soft spot for Buffalo despite being from Patriot land and was a good voice for the team. I will really miss his schedule insight as he usually was ahead of the curve on tidbits coming down the pipe. His best work to me though was his camp wide tour every August as it was a such a great and fun primer for every season.

trying to create an airtight secondary he instead took out the phone network

I would have made wholesale changes after the loss to CIN. After this year and the fact the team did respond to him and more importantly the offense went back to being a dynamic powerful unit we liked he has through next year.

13 seconds to me is worse as coaching was so directly involved in that outcome and the final 2 mins. This year Buffalo had to play a certain gameplan given the limitations the defense had starting two guys who were not even playing a month earlier and the overall attrition that side of the ball had. They needed an A+ day across the board as there was zero room for error and it was a B+ maybe A- effort. Good and valiant but not enough given where KC was at. I can live with that a lot easier as you will be healthier some years then others and I couldn't really pin point a specific mistake the way against CIN (playing 40 yds off the line) or 13 seconds I could. And yea it sucks they haven't broken through, but trust me these are farrr better days then what we had and it isnt to be taken for granted.

He is a very good player who will probably make a pro bowl or two at some point.

Fans here have zero idea how cheap we are compared to the rest of the league
