The opposite: I rewatched the highlights from the Bills Vikings game in Buffalo from a few yrs back. That game was insane and so painful

Id think it's because they're prioritizing selling inventory in more expensive sections before opening up cheaper sections over seniority of their season ticket holder base. It's tough to sell the PSL's in the 5k-10k per seat range if you currently have ones available in the 3-4k range. They may have 10-15k fans that would be ready to put down their deposit on seats that come with a 2.5k PSL fee, but the team knows once those go for sale it'll be even harder to sell the more expensive PSLs. I kind of think that's the holding pattern they're currently in. Most of the premium inventory has sold. They're banking that the lower end inventory will move a lot quicker when it's finally made available for sale (probably later this year for early '26)......but in the meantime they probably have a surplus of middle priced seating that's not moving as well as they thought I agree, it all will eventually sell, it'll just become a moving target as to how the prices need to fluctuate to meet the demand. There's no denying though if there was a ton of demand the new stadium would already be sold out. The fact they still have nearly 60% of the new stadium seats to sell shows there's a gap between what they're asking and what paying customers are willing to fork over.

It's pretty obvious what's going on: Tickets at the new place are not selling well. There's a lot of spin and positive PR about how well the sales are going but the stories don't add up. How are 80-90% of STHs in a stadium that seats 70k tripping yet the new stadium that only seats 62k is only 40% sold. They can't sell the nosebleeds and lower end pricing stadium until they clear most of this middle priced inventory and I think sales @ the current price point are not going well. Typically it'll be easier to sell the premium inventory to those with deeper pockets and the corporate sponsors (which seems to have been the case). On the opposite end you'll be able to move product at the lowest price range. But the middle, like 4-8k for a PSL and a 2-3k annual per ticket price is a heavy price for those considering renewing their 2-4 season tickets. That's currently the inventory they're selling and they've been at it for a long time. Ive personally carried at least 4 season tickets since 2002 and I'm throwing in the towel and I know I'm not the only one who views handing over 20-30k in PSL fees to keep those 4 ticks akin to lighting money on fire. I just can't wrap my head around that.....and that doesn't include the tickets themselves increasing in price by quite a bit.

By seasons end, Cole Bishops progression as a player will be viewed in the same light as Terrell Bernard and Christian Benford in their second season. A very solid starter blooming into a potential high end starter I predict hes the next to take a giant 2nd year leap

My inference: Josh Allen’s camp wants $45M APY Bills want $40M APY Allen’s camp prefers a 4 yr extension Bills would prefer a 6 yr extension Seems to me the fair compromise would be: 5 years - $210M-$215M with another $5-10M in incentives so the agent can promote a: 5 yr. - $225M deal which on paper matches Mahome’s APY

I just saw an image on NBC after the Ravens loss to the Steelers showing us as the current #6 seed for the playoffs. How is that so? 3 way tie between Ravens, Bills and Chargers all with a record of 7-6 Bills and Ravens both 5-4 in AFC, Chargers 4-5...so the Chargers are out Now next tie breaker is common games (minimum of 4) Ravens: CIN - Win OAK - Win MIA - Win Games Left vs. IND & @CIN Bills: CIN - Loss OAK - Win IND - Win Games Left vs. MIA & @MIA So Ravens are currently 3-0 in common games w/ 2 left & the Bills are 2-1 w/ 2 games left So shouldn't the Ravens be in over us? What am I missing? Someone who understands this please explain, I'm confused.

Shaq looks like just the same as he did coming out of Clemson. A slow off the line, run stuffing DE. He will never live up to the hype of a 1st rd. pick because he will never be a good pass rusher in the NFL. He is much too slow and is extremely slow off the snap. I remember watching a Matt Waldman film breakdown of Shaq headed into his years draft and the one main takeaway was how ridiculously slow he was off the snap. There were screenshots of many plays where every single Clemson D-lineman was well out of their stance and pushing into the backfield while Shaq wasn't even out of his 3 point stance yet.

I like the idea of staying put and taking QB, Mike White, from Western Kentucky with one of our top 4 picks, rather than trading away most of our picks for Darnold. I don't think he's the can't miss prospect the media would have you believe. He turns the ball over way too much and doesn't wow me with his accuracy or arm strength enough to feel confident in giving away a boatload to get him.

I noticed Preston Brown whiffing on more than 1 occasion today. He looked bad out there. Humber also stood out and not in a good way.

I think Peterman is going to open up the passing game. Maybe not immediately but once he shows he can hit the slant, hit the comebacks, hit the out routes teams aren't going to be able to load the D to stop the run like they've been able to do against Tyrod. I like the prospects of our offense surprising tom. both in the pass and run game. I could easily see 230 passing and 150 rushing.

I live in southern NJ. After the Broncos game I flew back to Philadelphia on Monday afternoon, to my surprise McCoy was siting across the aisle from me. After we got deplaned, I caught up with McCoy and we talked Bills on the walk to baggage claim. I was surprised with how honest and candid he was. He was pretty frustrated with the inability to get the run game going. I mentioned it's tough to run when the D is stacking the box and not respecting the QB's passing skills. He didn't throw Taylor under the bus in anyway, but he also didn't disagree with the sentiment. I went on to talk about the fact that the Bills will be spinning their tires until they find a true signal caller that defenses fear when throwing the ball. I got the impression I wasn't the only person in that conversation that agreed. I don't think Shady is or should be too upset. I expect his success to open up as a result of the offense being in the proper rythym under Peterman.

No you're right. His agent was free to shop Tyrod and they couldn't find better than the $14.5M the Bills offered him in '17. That's why Tyrod came back an signed his deal which was a large paycut. Good job by the Bills there by sticking to their value. The Bills owe Tyrod $16M in cash in '18 if they decide to keep him. At that price I don't think they will & I don't see Tyrod accepting a 2nd paycut in as many yrs., esp. if the Bills find a way to sneak into the playoffs as the #6 seed.

There's something else going on with Mike Schopp's blinding support of Tyrod. IMO, Mike is well informed and very smart when it comes to his football takes, but he is so far off the mark with Tyrod that I think there's more to it, I honestly do. What is it? Not sure. I called in to the show today to talk about the Bills 3 and out percentage and the Bills 1st downs per play over the last 3 years under Tyrod & how the Bills rank close to the bottom of the league. Does Tyrod stink? No. Is Tyrod good? No. He's somewhere between below avg. & avg. in my book. Schopp thinks he's good or nice as he says. I think, based on what I've heard him say, Bulldog is more in my camp.....very avg. Schopp actually said Tyrod is in the same class of QB's as Matt Ryan and Alex Smith. Like I said I think there's something else going on with his blindless support of Tyrod because comments like that are just silly. 32 out of 32 GM's & 32 out of 32 HC's would all choose Matt Ryan over Tyrod Taylor, so to say Tyrod is essentially just as capable of a QB is just false.

Yea, but Mike Schopp said that Tyrod is good, so I guess I'm supposed to believe him over what my eyes have shown me for the better part of 3 seasons.

This video really touched me & Parcells is a fantastic storyteller.

I happen to believe the Jaguars & Titans will both lock up playoff spots, 1 as the AFC South winner the other as 1 of the Wildcard teams. They both sit at 5-3, and while I don't think either team is all that good, they both have relatively soft schedules down the stretch and I expect 9 or 10 wins out of both of them. That leaves 1 spot for the likes of Buffalo, Miami, Baltimore, Oakland, New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers & the Bengals. After 17 yrs. of missing the playoffs and terrible offenses I'm not holding my breath that this is the yr. the Bills will make it.
