Maguire's Beer

Like the Aud!

Fully cover the sideline seats, leave the end zones open, and you've probably got a winner that meets the most expectations.

There's more diversity to the anti-dome contingent than you're recognizing. To be sure, there are folks who like things just as they are, with 90% of the fans exposed to the full elements. But there's a decent number of folks who opposed a full dome due to cost concerns who still wanted seat coverage. Moreover, there are "domers" who were convinced that a full dome wouldn't be necessary by the team's hints about covering the seats. IOW, there's a substantial number of fans who wanted/expected coverage. How many? I don't know. The team probably has a pretty good idea, tho, from the surveys - and I imagine that the final decision on the percentage of seats covered will be somewhat determined by the marketing data. If they think they can sell the place out at significantly increased prices without covering seats, they will.

Not at all. There has been substantial speculation, and some implication from the team and its partners, that we would bee looking at an open-air stadium with a canopy over most, if not all, seats - not unlike old Texas Stadium or a host of soccer stadiums. Still hope that's the case, but agreed with the poster who's beginning to doubt it.

While the NFL Doesn't want One to Enjoy - 1 the games 4 on your phone 1 without paying, 0 and WGR follows - orders to not stream, - There are unusual, new-to-most establishments Ignoring the NFL.

We're going to pick 11th and draft Josh Allen ahead of Lamar Jackson because Allen has Process Attitude and fits Dennison's scheme.

Hoping for 2-14 or thereabouts, but 6-10 is probably where they end up. The Jets are going to be two unavoidable wins, and the defensive core is strong enough that an extra four wins seem likely.

This is the awesome part. Whaley and Rex (and big brain Roman!) will not only get to stick around for another year, but make the top-5 draft pick.

Overdrafting Chad Kelly would be a next-level Bills move.

The best part is that the Sammy injury could well give Whaley/Rex/Roman the excuse they need to BS Terry and Kim into another year after going 3-13 or 5-11. Yay!

Not going to stan for Tyrod, but I'm pretty sure that Roman would micromanage and put the handcuffs on Carr, Bortles, or any other non-proven QB. It's who he is.

If the game is lost then we're all the sameNo one left to place or take the blame We will leave this place an empty stone Or that shining ball of blue we can call our home (Bill's songs are Grateful Dead songs.)

The inability to grasp the proper use of the replay challenge system, like the well-demonstrated inability to manage the game clock, speaks volumes about the general inadequacy of Rex and his staff. In a league which is designed, through the salary cap and the draft, to tend toward personnel parity, it's essential to maximize non-personnel-related opportunities. Those are the margins on which most games are won and lost. By and large, Rex and his staff have failed in this regard. While initial game plans on offense and defense have generally seemed sound, any advantages that the Bills have won through early game tactics have dissipated later on; there's no arguing that they routinely find themselves outmanoeuvred by opposing coaches' in-game's adjustments. And the below-average performance in clock management and taking advantage of replay further compounds the problem. In short, we're usually outcoached in most aspects of gameday management. And while I think that the player personnel is pretty good - probably above-average - it's not so superlative as to overcome Rex's staff's inability to win along the margins. The worst part is that Rex has been doing this long enough that there's no reason to believe that he's going to learn and evolve. He is what he is. And I sincerely doubt that what he is can lead a team to a Super Bowl in today's game, or even to sustained winning seasons. The REAL worst part is there's no way the Pegulas move on from him until the end of next season, at the earliest.

Nixon was gonna wax the floor with McGovern whether or not he bugged the DNC.

Funny - I was just wondering this morning whether the roof guy writes his own loopy copy. I imagine that he does. Went to school with a Thomann. Not sure if that's why I like their ads, but I do. My initial reaction to the VW of OP ads was strongly negative, but they're grown on me to the point where I genuinely enjoy the jingle. I think I've got GR Stockholm Syndrome.
