Big boy construction toys on the site at the moment, go full screen and give it a minute for the video to sharpen
Thanks for sharing. As they always say: “Planes don’t make money sitting on the ground”. And likewise: “Cranes don’t make money standing in one place.”
Come on boys, put your backs into it! 😂

It’s even wilder than that. They drafted Archie Manning second overall in 1971. He’s the only QB they’ve ever drafted in the first three rounds to ever make an NFL roster. They drafted Garrett Grayson with the 75th pick in 2015 but he never made the team.
I honestly thought the Saints was a type-o so I ignored it. 😂
-
The one I find fascinating is the Seahawks haven’t drafted a QB in the first two rounds in over 30 years. Really?

This has to be because that stupid webcam now proves that the new stadium is NOT in downtown Buffalo. 😉

I still say that Knox is a luxury we can’t afford. And I still can’t believe the Bills couldn’t find a suitor for his services.

I know some incredibly wealthy people personally and I can vouch for their spending habits. They didn’t get wealthy by spending money. At least not on things like Bills tickets.
Actually, you get wealthy by spending way less money than you take in. This is true no matter how much you make, and the earlier in life you learn that lesson the wealthier you will end up. If buying Bills tickets doesn’t impact that most basic of equations, you’ll be just fine.

I am not as high on Thomas as some. If he got to within the kinda "4th round pick" trade up territory where Elam and Kincaid were taken then I'd be okay. But I wouldn't be giving up next years 2nd.

I asked earlier, which former Bills WR would you compare Mitchell to? And if nobody, what current NFL WR on some other team would you equate to him?
-
Wait! What? We lost? I turned it off when we scored. Dammmmit!

Very well done Gunner and much better descriptions than you get from most ‘professional’ pundits.
Question: Which present or former Bills WR would you most closely compare Mitchell to?

Thanks for posting. I only see one picture but my initial response is that I thought it’d be taller. 😂

My brother works for a builder, they set up cameras on their sites, but for after-hours security than letting the public view it.
That’s also common but a different type of camera. The challenge with a project progress camera on a project as large as an NFL stadium is choosing an angle and a height that will consistently show something of value. We often have to move the camera location at least once or twice duration the construction schedule so you’re not staring at a never changing blank wall after a few months.

The team could do it too. It's even more chump change to them.
It’s typically provided by the Builder because of liability etc.

Come on people. You’re not going to find an All-Pro free agent that signs a league minimum contract. They need camp bodies and depth at all positions.
As I said earlier, the key variable right now is that the free agent has to be CHEAP. So the universe of potential signings is down to players who’re 25-29 and have probably been close to a bust off of their rookie contract, and players who’re 29 and over who at least some point were considered good to decent. Without any money to spend, those are your choices.

Thanks!
But to my point still, what would it cost for the team to put a can up over OBD with a regular feed.
It's not as if it's a top-secret project, it's right out in public.
In most cases it’s actually the Construction Company that installs the camera. It’s considered to be good P.R. for the company. No idea why that isn’t being done here. It’s literally chump change to the Builder.

We don't know the answer.
But I'd argue that experimentation isn't really an option for a team that is not in "rebuild mode", but rather "championship push" mode.
McGovern really surprised me at OG (I was a naysayer....when we brought him in...), and maybe he'd be a good center.
You’re right…we, the fans, don’t know but I’m betting that the Bills staff does. They see these guys every day in practice. I’m betting that they’ve had plenty of discussions with McGovern about the move.

I don’t disagree with this. And I’m fully aware of it. I don’t know what FA DTs there are out there. But I’m sure there’s some that are under 30.
That’s one of the challenges in the modern NFL. When you’re young, age 21-25 you’re on a cheap rookie deal. If you’re good you’re probably on your second contract (high paying) contract from age 25-29. If you’re not at all that good by age 25 you’re often considered a bust and thrown on dumpster fire. If you were good you don’t resurface until you’re 29-30 when you fall back into the availability pool.

What if it turns out that McGovern actually makes a great Center? What if he was sitting there waiting for Morse to retire? Do we know that he isn’t?

so are you saying you want to keep signing guys over the age of 30 and plug them into some of the most physical spots on a football team?
The argument for more DT help isn’t my issue. We need bodies there. My issue is we went from one of the oldest teams in the league last year, to cutting a lot of aged players and being one of the younger teams just by addition by subtraction. And yet here we are getting older again with a lot of these free agents.
Hollins is over 30Jones is over 32
Morrow is 28
Williams is 31
Austin Johnson (if he’s even signed I have seen confirmation yet) will be 30 by the time camp starts.
A valid point, but keep in mind the draft has yet to happen. It’s through the draft that teams get younger. The only cheap veterans available (and we need cheap ones) are bound to be older guys. As others have said, it remains to be seen if they make the roster.

Is it the endzone or the sideline?
The camera angle looks like the steel is coming around from the corner down the sideline.

Wish I could zoom in on those risers, to see if they match what I saw on the Thruway yesterday.
I’m guessing it was. The way you would tell is from the rise and run of the stringer. A typical stair is much steeper than a stadium riser.

Thanks for sharing! Really cool. You can definitely see the lower bowl seating risers beginning to take shape.

None of this would be happening if that new stadium had a roof! 😳
