What kind of phantom penalty is ‘the center moved the ball forward’? Come on NFL! Get your nose of out the Chiefs butt!

The number of times I have begged and pleaded at my TV for a play-action in parts of games that were BEGGING for a play-action is too numerous to count.
Has the TV ever answered? Just curious…..

What’s all this about a 1:00pm kickoff? Everyone knows it starts at 10:00am….here. Don’t come crying to me if you miss it!

That’s amazing!
For anyone at the game, did they tell the crowd they were taking the photo? From the looks of the faces it doesn’t look like it. It’d be cool if they did so everyone could smile next time.

I did homemade BoW last Sunday night. I used to do the Charlie the Butcher cornstarch but didn't like it. I now use the egg wash. Much better.
Serve it with mashed potatoes and pickled sweet and sour red cabbage and I think I'm back in Buffalo.
I’m curious about the pickled cabbage you mention. There’s a famous steakhouse chain in Southern California that features what sounds like something very similar. Every meal comes with the red cabbage and a simple blue cheese salad side by side. I know it sounds odd but people go just for the salad pairing as they do for the steaks. Is your red cabbage salad a somewhat vinaigery slaw?

You're in 124. That's my section. Gotta ask, how many rows are covered? When I bought mine the brutal view appeared like I was under the balcony. 2nd row from the concourse.
Ha! I wish you’d have asked before I visited. I could’ve checked the seats of everyone on TBD. (Kidding) Honest answer: I have no idea. But I will tell you that the roof is REALLY high. Unless the rain is drifting/blowing in your direction it’s hard to believe you won’t be under cover.

What to be watching for next is the laying of the grass playfield. That’s supposed to be installed in the next couple of weeks.

Yea, I’ve not seen whether they were going to copy that exactly, and I’m not sure that’ll work for Buffalo haha. But it was just nice to be able to stand in concourse and see the field still. And then the concessions were on like an outer ring.The concessions are indeed on an outward ring and face back towards the seating bowl. But, if you see my photo of the inside of the perforated panels you’ll see that the concourses are open air….but shielded from the wind.

I loved that about Tottenham Stadium, they have glass going around the entire concourse, so you can see the field, and then a glass door into your section.There are no glass doors into your sections at the new Highmark. At least I don’t think so. The seating bowl is going to be open air into the concourses.

That looks like Tottenham to me. It’s coming together….but is it fast enough? Time will tell.
Hey Augie
Yes, similar to Tottenham but yet nowhere close to a direct copy. It will be a completely unique venue for the NFL. There really isn’t a stadium like it. With regard to fast enough, they’re currently working three shifts. Obviously the biggest crew is during the day. The second shift is about half, and the third shift is more of a skeleton crew. That’ll change when they’re able to focus solely on the interior fitting out of the concourses, etc

Here’s another image from my tour. This from the mid-level end zone concourse. Two things to note here. First, you can see that none of the perforated panels are visible from inside the seating bowl. The little slit at the top will be infilled by the SOLID corrugated panels. Second, it’s cool to see that you’ll be able to see the field while in the concourse. Very well done!-

I’m going to give the Defense a week or two before I render a verdict. There’s a reason why the Ravens are universally regarded as a Super Bowl contender. They have few, if any, weaknesses on offense. They have a whole host of weapons to present to opposing defenses. The Bills were darn lucky they didn’t have to contend with Likely as well.

In my 60 years of fandom it’s never felt like a big rivalry to me. Whether either team was good or bad or even mediocre I can’t recall a single season where I’ve thought all that much about those two games. I think of the Jets as our ‘study hall’ in our semester’s class schedule….boring and useless.

A little obscure from the typical WNY recommendations but I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House complex near Delaware Park. It wasn’t available when I lived in WNY but is well worth it. Truly amazing to see this 125 year old landmark restored.

I watched part of the replay last night and I’m still not convinced that any part of the Ravens’ gunner actually touched the goal line when downing their punt. The camera angles didn’t show it well enough for Harbaugh to challenge and I’m sure he was thinking ‘we’ve got this game in the bag’ at the time…but it would’ve put the Bills backed up against their own end zone.

I know it’s only Week One, but has anyone noticed that the Bills don’t play a team with a winning record until early November…after the bye.

I took my wife to a Bills vs Patriots game about eight years ago and, without knowing who she was, was standing in line right in front of her. We had quite the nice chat with her while waiting to get through security. I think she told us to watch Buffalo 66 about three times. LOL Nice lady.
You didn’t know who your wife was? Come on dude! You might want cut back on the intensity of your pregame tailgating. 😉

I remember when Fitz had a perfect rating against the Seahawks one time, and I’m not even sure if we won….but I think so.

You have to first get a defense before you can name your defense. It’s just like a dog or a goldfish.

From my understanding from what I’ve been told by workers inside. The panels and the curvature of the room will create a wind tunnel on the opposing sideline. If true that seems like a good home field advantage come November.
Now what? These are not magic beans. They’re just an exterior architectural treatment being used to shield the unconditioned concourse areas from the prevailing winds. Virtually NONE of these panels are even visible from inside the stadium. And, if you look closely at my photo you’ll see that uppermost portion of the outer panels, just under the roof canopy, are actually solid corrugated panels, with no perforations.

Did the wind seem confused when you were there?I was a bit confused as to just how straight forward the screens are. As I’ve previously posted, they’re nothing more than perforated metal sheets, and few, if any are actually visible from inside the seating bowl. They’ll cut down on gusting winds when you’re in the concourses but …

He was beyond terrible his final year at USC.

McCarthy has literally gone from 0-100
Where on earth did these last two drives come from?
Yeah…but will he throw for 300 yards in the last four minutes? I think not. 😉

At what point is the NFL going to put a limit on jewelry? Anybody see how many necklaces Jefferson is wearing? Come on!

Milano update?

It looked like he tweaked his back trying to pivot chasing Fields.
