This debate rages on, year after year. It always seems to boil down to speed at WR. I’m not so convinced. The question should be whether the offense has a variety of routes on every play, not a variety of throws. Put another way, no matter how fast your WRs are it doesn’t mean the defense is just going to let them run deep behind the opposing safeties because they don’t believe we’ll throw it deep. What you really want are route trees that cause mismatches and overloads in the opposing secondary.

The other night the Seinfeld episode was on in which Elaine was dating a “bad breaker upper” dude. He was said to have been stab worthy….which according to Elaine made him MORE attractive.

Hard to believe there are six AFC teams with either 1 or less wins after five weeks. Anyone know whether that’s typical?

Quite a few times this season Josh has changed the play at the line into something that simply hasn’t worked. Now…there’s no telling what the original call was.

The final series was horrible play calling after Shakir dropped the WR screen. At that point you need to eat clock on second and third down. Either the Patriots waste their time outs or you take the clock way down. You call two simple, short yardage plays and see if you can get it to a first down or fourth and one or two. The Bills will simply never learn how to manage the clock under this coaching leadership.

Yeah, yeah, yeah….look at the stat line. Maye and Allen had the EXACT SAME stat line for virtually the exact same yardage 22-30 completions. But…Josh’s 31st attempt was a pick in the red zone and Maye didn’t throw one. That one bad throw cost the Bills the game or everyone would be looking at the lone remaining team at 5-0 this morning.

The game came down to turnovers…period. It’s been so long since Bills fans have experienced losing the turnover battle that we’ve all forgotten what a HUGE difference it makes in the outcome of a game. If you look at the Team Stats, we actually won across the board in virtually every stat. Just looking at the stat line you’d swear the Bills must’ve won that game. Even penalties came out pretty darn close in the end. But, you cannot turn the ball over three times and expect to win many games in the NFL….period.

Why do we keep absolutely ignoring the D Line in the draft? It’s obvious this team needs to rush the passer….dammit! 😳

Fire McD …..I’m begging now.

Bosa…..come on man!

Tre White is TOAST!

This defense flat out sucks!!!!!!

Do the Patriots have seventeen guys on defense? How come Brady can’t scheme ANYBODY open?

Yep….they typically roll up the turf, and lay new turf down, but they can also use paint. It’s not uncommon to see the shadow of the old logo showing through.

Keep in mind that back when the Bills began, the players bagged groceries in the offseason. I highly doubt that you’ll see either Josh or his starlet wife working the produce section at Wegmans this spring.

It’s isn’t difficult to change the artificial field graphics. They literally do it once a week at Met Life and So Fi stadiums where two teams share the field.

There’s nothing to see here. It’s the natural evolution of things. Sure, Major League sports have become more expensive as they’ve become more and more popular. This has been happening slowly over many decades. But “corporations”? I think not. It’s nothing more than a business model. Some car manufacturers target higher end customers. So do some restaurants, and clothing stores. But….there are plenty of options to attend entertainment events (sports, theater, etc) that are not super expensive. For example, I regularly attend college games of almost every sport that are actually FREE. It’s competitive and a ton of fun.

I’m definitely old. I don’t recognize a single name on the Patriots list…not one.

Yes, it’s all laid out originally by the architects and then detailed in the shop drawings created by the seating contractor. While the design is random, the installers are following a seat by seat ‘map’. Believe it or not, in the old days, prior to CAD we would have had a spotter with binoculars on the other side of the stadium bowl signally to the installers which color they want where. Crazy, right?

Shadows will of course vary depending on the time of the day and month of the year, but they’ll definitely cover some of the field at times. Not as much in September as they will in late December when the sun is lower in the sky.

Renderings? The video fly overs show the real thing. The roof is done.

It varies. It’s more to do with how far out in advance they started. I always say to the Owner and Contractor “the one date I cannot change is today”….there’s always a finite number of days until Opening Day.

Thanks for sharing. A few things to note: 1. You can see how fast the seats go in. Just a month ago they hadn’t even started installing them. 2. The progress on the exterior metal paneling is a concern. It’s a long way from done, and Winter is coming. On a related note there, you can see the top curved piece of the paneling is solid (not perforated). It closes the gap between the last row and the roof. That solid piece keeps the wind out of the interior. 3. I’ll be curious to see if the grass goes down this month. On my tour, the Contractor said they were targeting October.

To get us back on track, the Bills are about to get THREE defensive players in their starting rotational roster. These are guys who aren’t playing at all right now. Which means we therefore have THREE defensive players who are currently playing major snaps for one of only two undefeated teams in the entire league. There aren’t any other teams that need a defensive starter? Seems to me that’s the place to look for Trade Deadline moves.

That’s somewhat correct. Substantial Completion is defined as the point where the Owner “can occupy the project for its intended use”. Punch List pick up is a bit later down the road. For Substantial Completion there may be items that have yet to be installed. For work to be defined as a Punch List item it’s supposed to have been installed but needs to replaced, refinished, or repaired. I hope that helps.
