So, greed is confined to the NFL? I actually think it's due to an utter lack of creativity by the Commissioner. He is, and has always been, horrible.

I still believe there should be one bye week for the ENTIRE league mid season. It’s done in all other major sports.

If you look closely you’ll see that the Divisions are all grouped together. Playing those six games against each other influences the strength of schedule more than where you finish.

Preseason will eventually go the way of the pro bowl, the do do bird, and the schedule release show. A total waste of time.

Okay….So I just entered the entire Schedule into my Outlook calendar. Can somebody tell me why I want to listen to NFL Network talking heads yap about it for hours on end? What a waste of airtime!

With all due respect….so? That just means you start and end with a home game. The rest would all alternate home and away.

Four of the first Five at home? Really?

It always seemed like when they threw him the ball....he caught it. Isn't that what one wants from a Tight End?

Achilles injuries seem to have become the new ACL of the modern athlete. One could say they’ve become a veritable Achilles heel.

We’ve never had any difficulty making travel arrangements for a regular season road game and that includes two trips to London. Not sure what all the stress is about. People travel to these major cities every day for business on much much shorter notice without batting an eye and that’s during the traditional workweek. Go Bills

True, but the drains wouldn’t require a ‘dance floor’. They’re not spaced often enough. But the heating system might. I guess we’re going to see.

While not disagreeing, I believe it’s more complicated than that. Individual teams and the league in general have to navigate a really complex calendar of dates and events. Not every venue is available on any given weekend.

Perfect it’s normally freezing down there by mid September. 😉

What I noticed from one of the videos is that the temporary ‘dance floor’ I mentioned previously runs the full length of the one sideline is actually suspended from the roof overhang. I’m not sure what it’s for but I’m guessing they’re installing some specialty ceiling finish on the underside of the roof. No idea if that’ll be true around the entire stadium but with the speakers already hung in other areas, I doubt it. And they’re starting to install the glass on the exterior of the stadium concourses.

Thats pretty amazing. It means on average the Bills only fly 1,200 miles per road game. That’s something like a two hour flight. Nice!
