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 …

Wow, that was bad. Williams looks every bit a bust.
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!

I started noticing the Collinsworth sthick a couple of seasons ago. All he does now is listen to the producers to see who they have a replay of, and he makes a shallow comment about how ‘great’ that player is….then does it all over again on the next play. Over, and over, and over again. Yawn. No analysis. No in depth strategy, nothing you can’t get off the Wikipedia page for each player.

Really feel sorry for Jefferson. It’s going to be a total waste of a season.

Where’s the thread about the best home opener? Last night absolutely HAS TO have unseeded any games on the list. (Poor Sam Adams; his fumble recovery and return has officially been relegated.)

that is largely what the plan is there. That or more particularly just go take up space to free someone up. You can’t present as a target.I agree with the concept that once you’re pushed out, you shouldn’t be able to just step back on and catch it. No problem there. But if you’ve immediately come back and run across the field it seems a bit ridiculous.

Perfect example of why McD should be the Team Psychologist and NOT the Head Coach. (somewhat sarcastic) Or, at the very least, why McD should delegate the game day strategy reigns to others on his staff. There’s no shame in it Sean. You’re just not good at it. It’s okay to admit it.

Yet another rule that might need to be looked at by the NFL. Keon gets pushed out under the goal post. He immediately comes back on the field and runs all the way across the end zone, in bounds, before catching the ball. That should be a catch! Otherwise, I’m guessing the receiver’s only option is to literally walk out the back of the end zone and effectively give himself up on the play.

The fan was clearly wrong but what the heck are the Ravens doing ‘taunting’ the Bills fans in their stadium? Not sure what they expected. As they always say, when you score a touchdown, act like you’ve been there before.

McD screws up yet another big game with poor strategic choices. Over and over and over again

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
