Why does this team always seem like it's running on fumes?
SoCal Deek replied to T.E.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree with so much of what’s been said on here. Since the NFL is television driven it’s hard to believe it makes any real difference whether teams play 17 games with one bye or 16 games with two byes and the rapid explosion of Fantasy Football and online betting has made most people’s ‘home’ team’s games even less critical. Nobody wants to see backup quarterbacks dueling it out in the playoffs. Give each team two bye weeks evenly spaced across the season strategically aligned with their Thursday night and overseas games. Done! -

Let me see if I can sketch something up tonight. 😁 -

Yes…..all types of construction. Trust me. -

This shouldn’t be shocking to anyone. Costs are not the same across the country especially in construction/ real estate….and it isn’t because of graft. My home in Southern California cost way more than a standard home in either Buffalo or Nashville….or just about anywhere in the country for that matter. All you have to do is check out an episode or two of House Hunters on HGTV and you’ll be utterly amazed at the variation of home prices across the country. -

So let me see if I understand your math. You add all of the cost overruns and inflation to the Bills stadium but not to the Titans new one? There’s no free lunch in construction and certainly not on projects as complex as these ones. Things cost what they cost. -
List of players under contract and Free Agents in 2024

Only one comment: Thank God Harty is in italics. -

Not anywhere. I’d be curious to see how people rank the other NFL stadiums on the Wonder of the Modern World thermometer. The only ones that might even make it on the scale might be Los Angeles, Dallas and maybe Minneapolis. The rest…..not so much. -

$1.5 Billion doesn’t even come close to buying you a ‘wonder of the modern world’ these days. 😉 -

Did the Sabres look anything at all like a professional hockey team that night? (Asking for a friend.) 😉 -
Now let me say that I really don’t want to get ahead of anything here but who’s to say that if the Bills win and get the #2 seed that the Browns wouldn’t go into Baltimore and beat them in Week 2 thus putting the Bills at home throughout the playoffs? That isn’t at all far fetched.

I’m not sure what people want to know. The exterior of the stadium is going to look very similar to Tottenham….which thousands of us visited in October. The interior of the stadium is going to look like a bunch of plastic seats…just like every other stadium ever built. The only thing that ‘might be’ still to be determined is the quality of the finishes in the concourse areas. The floor plans were long ago set. -

You're probably right (at least in December) but I think the architecture of the Everton Stadium is much more in keeping with what people would envision for WNY. Everton has a really nice blend of a historically influenced base level with a really contemporary top. -

You can fast forward to the end, or just google the renderings. What I find interesting about the Everton facility is that it's waterfront setting in that traditionally blue-collar town is virtually identical to what was being proposed for the Buffalo Waterfront site. I am not implying that what the Bills are doing now isn't going to be a vast improvement over the current stadium but if people wonder what a waterfront facility might have looked like, they need look no further than the Everton videos/renderings. Again....pretty darn cool! -

Interesting. Not living in WNY anymore I’m wondering how you know this. Has the local media been reporting on it? Seems like a lot of inside baseball gossip. -
Some hard choices for Beane on the D-Line
SoCal Deek replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ya know it’ll be interesting if Buffalo finally winning the Super Bowl (and without them) would enter into these players’ decisions to void their contracts in lieu of holding the future roster hostage. -
I can’t fault Torrence, or any rookie, for hitting a wall. The professional season is a marathon. Much longer than what these young men are used to enduring in college.

Because most of you know I’m very much into this stuff, see if you can google the new year-in-construction-review progress video just posted on the New Everton Football Club waterfront stadium. I cannot help but be envious of what they’re creating and can’t help but think of how cool something like it would’ve been on a very similar downtown Buffalo waterfront site. The Everton stadium will open this coming summer and so the last months progress shows seats and video screens being installed. In a word….wow! -
Three Dolphins Starters Suffer Serious Injuries against Ravens
SoCal Deek replied to johnk's topic in The Stadium Wall
It sure seemed like it at the time but now that the season has played out, you are correct. In fact, I’d put it to you that the Bills D is really only down Milano (and our replacements have done fine). Rasul Douglas has actually been better that post-injury Tre White. -
It makes no difference how open your WRs are if your QB is having an off day…..which Josh certainly did. I know everyone wants to praise the franchise guy, but yesterday was NOT a good performance by any measure.
-
The Bills D is ascending at the right time.
SoCal Deek replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s in another thread but I think there’s little chance the Bills Defense would be where they are without the addition of Rasul Douglas. He has single handedly papered over some significant weakness's in the secondary. -
Today….definitely
-
There’s zero chance that Josh isn’t on cold medicine. He looks completely out of it.

WHY DOES DIGGS KEEP GOING BACKWARDS?????

Special Teams are certainly’special’

Poyer and Hyde are totally done.
