It always seemed weird to me that Chicago doesn’t have two teams. (Or even Houston). They have really large population bases, and could each support another team.

Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
SoCal Deek replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
If a specific area is done then they ‘can’ work but it really doesn’t help with the final completion date. That’s why the critical path is called the critical path. Busy work is nice but it’s very inefficient. There’s a tremendous logistical effort that goes into scheduling all the tasks on a job of this size. In general, construction doesn’t stop completely during the winter months….but there’s quite a bit that has to be in place to make it productive. Turner Construction who’s overseeing the project is VERY experienced. I guarantee they’re on top of the things that they can control, but as a few have mentioned, the construction industry is still experiencing significant post-pandemic supply chain problems. On many of our projects the contractors are having to order electrical switchgear equipment in excess of a year ahead of when it’s needed on the job site. You can just imagine what that does to a project whose schedule is less than a year in total. 😳 -

You may recall me mentioning a few months ago that it looked like the precast concrete subcontractor must be behind schedule as they were clearly not keeping up with the steel erection. That continues to appear to be the case today. In construction scheduling it’s called the ‘critical path’. Which is to say they can’t turn loose the next major trade crews until that critical element is completed. So with regard to working out of the elements in winter, yes, if the precast seating risers aren’t installed then there is no ‘inside’ to work in. Those precast risers essentially form the roof of everything below them. -

I always thought it was spelled with a ‘k’….no? -

Anyone see the articles showing that Cincinnati is already going to spend many $ millions to upgrade their relatively new stadium? Sounds like there are multiple design shortcomings. I sure hope the Bills thought through the new stadium layout better than those folks. -
Bills vs Jags Game Week Thread - MNF
SoCal Deek replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
One of the all time great football names. He was born to play! Always sounds like a 1940a era comic strip character to me. 👍 -
I’m curious. With all the teams you could choose to despise, why Seattle and San Francisco?

Ya see? Coleman is so slow he’s actually running backwards! sarcasm -
Week 3 Thursday Night Football Pats/Jets
SoCal Deek replied to Scott7975's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well I guess the Bills got beat by a wounded Jets team in last year’s opener….so there’s that -

So just exactly how bad are the Bengals if they lost to NE? -

Michaels is bored in every game these days. He’s done. -
Week 3, Jagoffs v. Bills, PREDICT THE SCORE!

You know it’s not in London, right. Just checking. Hate to see you fly across the pond just to find Wembley empty. -
I generally root for the underdog no matter who is playing in ANY sport. I chalk it up to sixty years of being an underdog Bills fan. I’m literally the exact opposite of so many fair weather bandwagon fans who jump on board to see their new found ‘favorite’ team win.

SoCal Deek replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
Maybe, but the Chargers really didn’t have much of a choice and SoFi stadium now hosts a game every week. It’s interesting that the Clippers likewise moved from San Diego to Los Angeles and now after close to twenty years of sharing a downtown arena with the Lakers they’re opening their new arena right by SoFi Stadium in Inglewood next month. -

SoCal Deek replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m older than you and living in LA for the past many decades I can tell you that there’s a grand total of ZERO people who care who the Chargers play. They would gladly trade two games against the Broncos for a home and home series with the Rams. -

SoCal Deek replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’d love to see a major realignment. For example, have both NYC based teams in the same division. And the same for both LA based teams. Those home and home rivalry games would be intense every year. They do that in the EPL and MLS and fans love it! There’s hardly anyone alive who even remembers the origins of the old AFL and NFL based teams. The merger was over FIFTY years ago! -

I couldn’t agree more! With all of the changes through the years I find it hard to believe that the NFL hadn’t reset the Divisions. Somebody suggests it every year but the NFL ignores it. With 17 games and 4 team divisions, there are less and less intra-division games. Just bite the bullet and realign everything geographically. Just like cleaning out your sock drawer, it needs to be done once a decade. 👍 -
This can’t be right! I just responded to another thread that said Josh was having a mediocre season. Is the proverbial glass half full or half empty? 😉

Bryce Young already benched in Carolina
SoCal Deek replied to mushypeaches's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thanks for sharing. I know it’s only two weeks but it’s really weird to see veteran guys like Goff, Stafford and Prescott all hovering way below average. -
Long-term future of the Bills defensive backfield?
SoCal Deek replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Will any of this really matter after we win the Super Bowl in a few months? 😳
