So a few hours ago I suggested that the Bills would get no more than a Third for Elam….and based on the Wash/Phil trade it appears I was right.

You think someone is going to give you a second for a late round first that never plays?

I agree. You have to wonder how long this First Rounder is going to flounder in a back up roll before some team decides a change of scenery is all that’s required.

Win one? I think the vast majority of fans would settle for just getting to a Super Bowl right now.

$10,000 for a coffee! That’s crazy talk.

And right there you help to make my point. If corporations are the problem then why do these latest sketches depict what appear to be every day, working, young people with little kids the clientele that the marketing department specifically asked the designers to insert into the renderings? Again, something is disjointed here.

So you’re saying you’re negative that people aren’t more negative?

The Board is negative? It's just a group of people discussing a football team that we all follow. Not sure what the OP would like. Was this advertised as a cheer leading forum? And.....Ralph was cheap! 😉

All true….but my comments still stand. The renderings are disjointed. As a guy who creates images just like these for a living you have to understand that the ‘entourage’ (people, trees, furniture, and cars) are not part of the architect’s design. They’re simply dropped in from a catalog of stock images. My point is that the entourage doesn’t match the interiors…at all! If you replace the scruffy looking Bills fans with stock images of people in dress clothes from a higher end restaurant, I think you’d find it all fits together much better.

My comments are purely about the aesthetic….not the experience.

I know what they’re trying to do but it takes more than Buffalo centric super graphics. It looks more like an environment where my mother would’ve told us….”Boys, keep your hands in your pockets and do NOT touch anything!”

Yes, very nice. But does it look like the interiors of a venue where a bunch of bundled up people just came inside from a snowstorm? No, they don’t. I’m wondering if the designers have ever been to Buffalo.

I’ll put my architect hat on for a second: The aesthetic looks COMPLETELY out of touch with the WNY game day experience. Every space looks really dark, which isn’t a good thing in an area that’s known for cloud cover. The spaces, furnishings and materials, while certainly trendy, appear to be completely inappropriate for the people that they copied and pasted into renderings. Do any of those ‘fans’ look like they are either comfortable or belong there?

And you drew that conclusion from a rendering of a concession stand?

Josh Allen has thrown a grand total of THREE passes this preseason. And that’s all he’s going throw since it appears like he’s not playing on Saturday either. I have no idea how people are evaluating the WRs based on THREE passes from the ONLY guy who’s going to be throwing them the ball in a few weeks.

Second Rounder….try and keep up! Sheeesh

They’re no doubt cutting Andreesen!

Is the kid a walk on? Sure….but it’s not like he was a college wrestler or British rugby player. He played LB at D1 university. I’m pretty sure he understands the basic skillset for both run and pass defense. Will he make the roster? Who knows? But there wouldn’t be a need for this thread if he wasn’t the stand out he clearly was on Saturday night.

I have literally no idea why we’re talking about WRs when Josh didn’t play, Mitch was clueless, and DiNucci hadn’t read the playbook. There’s less than ZERO point evaluating wideouts based on last night. What I liked from the group had nothing to do with play but instead from the tape measure…..geez the new guys are tall!

Bills fans got so accustomed to timid LB play watching Edmunds sit back and do next to nothing for years, that all of the current crop are a breath of fresh air for sure!

No argument from me! At least for 2024 the Bills are completely dependent on Josh Allen. But I think going into the offseason, we all knew and accepted it. Do I agree with that as a long term strategy?. No, I don’t.

You had me at “Carolina”! Get ‘er done. 😁

Correction: Our offense is non existent without Allen

I was just going off your roster list. 😉

Wouldn’t “everyone after Hollins” include Coleman?
