I agree with you. If he doesn't get a chance to play much he's going to have a hard time changing his market value from what it was last year.
He may not change his market value this year , but he would want to go somewhere where he has a chance of starting so he could change his market value in the future

Ummm , Hasn't this decision already been made? I've said it before and will again, how can Indy build a dome for 700k and a new stadium in OP is 1.4b? Throw in inflation and NYS corruption still seems odd.
That was opened in 2008

Those seats are insane! I am sending you a message shortly.
One of the perks of having tix since 1961 and being #25 on the season ticket seniority list!

NFL ticket exchange is the easiest and most secure - and will handle any refunds in the event a game is cancelled. They changed the format for browsing available tickets a few years so much harder to find the seats you might want.
I generally post a few places
Craigslist - but generally not great responses and a lot of flakes. Big advantage is no fees for seller and no fees for buyer. For example, if post a ticket for sale on ticket exchange at $200, buyer would pay $250, but seller pays 10% fee and would only get $180. Always make sure to use PAYPAL (not friends and family) as that is one of the few insured payment sources. I don't think Zelle or Venmo insure the transaction
- sometimes ebay is successful. but charges 10-12% commission
- There is stubhub, but I have not used and don't see any benefit to it over NFL Ticket Exchange
- There is a section on TBD for tickets for sale where you can list
Shameless plug - I have 2 to 8 tickets available for every bills game this year, all in section 111 ranging from row 8 to row 14. If interested DM me
Go Bills

Does the Super Bowl window close this year? What percentage of winning the Super Bowl Involve the Bills backup QB starting and winning a playoff game?
Without Frank Reich - we don't go to 1 or 2 of our super bowls.
As someone else posted, do you really want our season dependent on Fromm or Webb?

Trubisky is clearly the best BU QB options the Bills will have for 2021. Trubisky will likely be gone to be a starter after this season. If someone offered a second (price for Garapollo paid by the 49ers), would the long term benefit of the second be worth trading?
No - without a good backup, and injury to JA, even if out for just a few weeks, or a positive covid test that keeps him out for a bit, would be catastrophic.
We have a super bowl window - would hate to lose a chance at a superbowl for a 2nd round pick.
As the Old adage used to say: The 2nd most important player on your team is the backup QB
-
1. A few things that stood out for me:
1. The percentage of passes on offense
I think Daboll has come to the realization that with JA and our receivers - passing is the way to go and running will only be supplemental to keep teams honest
Thus, I think we keep a lot of receivers to keep them all fresh and tire out the other team's DB's. We also ran a ton of screen, short passes, and bubble screens. It is a way to get the ball into the hands of the speedy receivers out in space. I think we have a great combo of weapons: Diggs and Beasley for ability / Kumerow and Davis for Size / and McKenzie and Stevenson for speed and excitement
2. Davis Webb onto PS
3 TO's in 3 possessions against 2nd or 3rd stringers should be a death knell. but Keep him on PS for his other non football skills. Sits on PS for a few years, and then becomes QB coach. I think Fromm also goes to PS to keep a roster spot available.
3.Hollister might be starting TE
He looked so much better than knox and does not drop those ball. Maybe Knox should have practiced more with catching real footballs and less with ping pong balls
4. Bears are pathetic!
Dalton is not a starter in this league, and Fields will be starter early in the season whether he is ready or not

Love the write-up
Watched the game on NFL game pass condensed: pre-season games are WAY TOO BORING even condensed. Could barely make it through w/out dozing off.
Surprised anyone voluntarily pays to go to them

Beane really seems like a really good, down to earth guy as well as being a great GM - a great personality fit for Buffalo as well

Then there was Ernie Ladd (RIP) that went from Pro Football to WWF and excelled at both
From Wikipedia
Ernest Ladd (November 28, 1938 – March 10, 2007), nicknamed "The Big Cat", was an American professional football player and professional wrestler. A standout athlete in high school, Ladd attended Grambling State University on a basketball scholarship before being drafted in 1961 by the San Diego Chargers of the American Football League (AFL). Ladd found success in the AFL as one of the largest players in professional football history at 6′9″ and 290 pounds. He helped the Chargers to four AFL championship games in five years, winning the championship with the team in 1963. He also had stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Oilers. Ladd took up professional wrestling during the AFL offseason, and after a knee injury ended his football career turned to it full-time in 1969.
As a professional wrestler, Ladd became one of the top heels in the business. For the majority of his career, he played a villainous character who would arrogantly taunt both opponents and crowds. Ladd feuded with many popular wrestlers of the time, including Wahoo McDaniel, André the Giant, Bobo Brazil, Dusty Rhodes, and Mr. Wrestling, before retiring from the ring in 1986.
Ladd was inducted into the San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame in 1981, the Grambling State University Hall of Fame in 1989, and the WWF Hall of Fame in 1995.

Sorry, but your math is way off. That number is so big there is not even a name for it. That would mean he is worth is 3.5 E+17
He has enough $ to give every US citizen around $575.00

I always thought that the long halftimes were very detrimental to us because
1) the long delay took away any momentum we were having
2) gave way too much time to the other coaches to make adjustments
I think with a regular length halftime, we win against the Giants and the 2nd Cowboys

Theoretically if this happens, what's he worth to another team? And what's he worth to us. Now that he's here I think he's an important piece to have. I feel like there would be a huge price valuation difference between us and any other team.
Would you take a 3rd? Would be great return on a 1 yr player, but is it worth exposing your seasons insurance policy? Tough call here.vi think I'd say no to a 4th, 3rd I'd be torn on, would take a 2nd, but hard to picture anyone paying that
I would not trade trubisky for draft pick(s). only for a player that could help us this year. he is too valuable an insurance policy

Have up to 8 Great seats for sale for each game

What these stats don't measure is what the running back SHOULD have done.
For example, there could be a gaping hole that would lead to a 20 yard run, but the RB did not see it, got hit at the line of scrimmage, broke a tackle, and gained 5 yards.
With these stats, that would look like a great run, but it was really a terrible play.

Around 15 years ago, on a Sunday afternoon, I walked into a really small mom and pop hardware store in Los Angeles,
There were 3 people in the store: me, the checkout guy, and someone behind me in line
The guy behind the counter had a small black & white TV watching football
As I was checking out, the network switched to the Bills Game
I asked him if I could stay and watch since I was from Buffalo.
He responded: "I am from Buffalo too - from Tonawanda"
The guy behind me said: "I am from Buffalo too - from Amherst"
It turned out the guy behind me grew up around the corner from me, his sister was in my HS class, and his brother played on the same soccer team as me.

This past may, I went to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and was wearing a Bills' hat
Over 2 1/2 days, I received 11 different "Bills" comments
Most were "go Bills"; one or two "Josh Allen is great"; and one "This year we are going to win it all"
People were from or went to school in Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse, and there were a few random Wyoming JA fans

Yep, some qbs will not buckle the strap on a run... And subconsciously strap it up for a pass
Some qbs Will leave the mouthpiece out for a run, and put it in for a pass
It's like a subconscious thing that they don't even recognize
Wasn't there a baseball player who always adjusted his cap when he was going to try to steal a base?

if you don't factor in the # of games/minutes played with a Buffalo team, you could add the following HOF'ers to the discussion of best Brave ever
Nate Archibald - 0 games / 0 minutes / 0 points
Moses Malone - 2 games / 3 minutes / 0 points
Had we not made trades based on $, we would have had possibly the best starting front line in NBA history with 3 HOF'ers: Dantley / McAdoo / Malone

Well, technically speaking, all minor league teams are considered professional, so the Bisons should count; but I understand your point.
If we are talking about all pro teams from WNY and not just Buffalo, for baseball, the Rochester Red Wings, the Syracuse Mets, the former Jamestown Jammers, and Batavia Muckdogs when they were Minor League Baseball (MiLB) should be considered. Am I forgetting any baseball team?
Niagara Falls Pirates and later Niagara Falls Rapids

The Piccone game was 1980/81 season, Smith was against Pittsburgh. This is about 1989. 3 different games.
Thanks for the correction on Lou Piccone - sorry (but it still stings)
On Bruce Smith, it was the REGULAR season game against the Bengals that year not the playoff game
"There also was talk that Smith was battling a bad case of the flu that day. He has refused to address the subject specifically."
Thanks again for correcting.
