For fans that want to play around with where the stadium could fit (especially the downtown option) this tool that was popular a long time ago on the old BBMB and was fun to play with. It is a bit "clunky" to get use to using. 1st thing you got to do is click on the "Pick a New Spot" link. I click the Lucas Oil Stadium. Once you do that you need to maximize the window and drag it around. For a downtown spot placing the stadium in the South Park / Louisiana / Ohio St triangle is a pretty cool spot. The parking lots are placed kitty corner in the old Perry Projects. Also the Sabres lots are available along with Riverworks (If a pedestrian bridge was built). Also pretty close to having a new train station for mass transit on Michigan and South Park. Of course the exit and entrance ramps to the thruway would need to be redesigned. It WAS one of the most popular spots years ago. Most of the land is public and the few private companies (around Miami St) look like they could be cheap. Here is the site if anyone cares. https://staging.19ideas.com/stadium/list/?page=20 PS EDIT: The site still works but it seems it is closed to submitting new locations.

NFL 1. Big Ben announces his retirement at halftime of the season opener. 2. Tom Brady poisons himself with a Kale based smoothie by accidently confusing wild parsnip with poison hemlock. 3. After a rash of season ending injuries Fred Jackson comes out of retirement to assist Ryan Fitzpatrick in taking the WFT to the NFCCG. Ultimately to lose to the SF 49ers. BUFFALO 1. Buffalo Bills crushes the Single Season Scoring record with 716 points. 2. Terry Pegula is so excited during his Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Victory interview he "throws up" on national television. 3. Roger Goodell is so impressed with the 2021 Buffalo Bills he gifts a new domed stadium to the City of Buffalo.

He had used up his call ups. I doubt seriously they waived him because of his poor play.

That is all true but there is some points that need to be made. 1. GB cut him but we all know how Rodgers felt about that. 2. The Bills did cut him but that was situational. First they protected him 2 times during the season. Then they activated for gameday twice. The rules were a PS player could only be called up 2 times. After they used that up the only way he could play again for the Bills was to put him permanently on the 53 roster for what would have amounted to the rest of the season. Not much of a choice but to cut him. 3. NO picked him up as insurance if their starters couldn't go in the playoffs. That wasn't necessary so he was released. I'm not saying he will or should be kept on the Bills. I'm just showing that players on the bubble get cut for different reasons. I wish him luck and hope he has a great camp and preseason.

What if we watch the games and they end up being the one team of 32 that win the Super Bowl? I watched the team when I knew they wouldn't and I will watch the games now knowing they might. I like that.

But QB is pretty important wouldn't you agree. You Pats* fans are in the position of having to hang your hopes on the 5th selected QB in the draft. It's just a fact. Bills fans through the drought had some great defenses and a lot of other things going for them and it didn't matter. We didn't have a QB. You and I have discussed that it's your opinion that it all lies in BBs hands for the future (next couple of years) how the team performs. I believe that is true and we will see what that brings this year. My question to you as a Pats* fan is this. What do you think will happen at home games in NE IF they start of very slow in the first 4 games, especially when Tommy is there for Game 4. Do you see the home fans with a lot of patience? I don't and I think that is important.

It's tough for me to change my way of thinking but I am. For once I'm trusting the Management, the Coaches and the Players to bring it on home. I will cheer and watch the games and hope for the dream year!

It is a good question and the way I see it the 90 or so guys competing is what Beane is bringing in. He is pretty smart and paid to worry about it. I'm going to wait until cutdown to see the team they assembled.

Right on eball. Both camps want to see what next year brings. It seems to me Beane is not too worried about the overall contract. Allen's team want to see what the "also rans" are going to get. Bills are tight against the cap next year with Josh's 5th year option. Beane probably will want Josh's 5th year to look like Mahomes ($7M hit) if the cap doesn't rise more than what is stated now. They both know what the talks are about and both are not worried so I will not be either.

Not going to happen. Kim would threaten to divorce Terry. Terry's response would be: Happy Wife, Happy Life.

They will.

Right. As of now Fromm is a JAG to me and I don't yet see him having more value than Davis Webb. He's got to prove it.

Yes exactly. It's the decision Beane and McDermott will have to make. Probably got to add ST value and whether they can find a way to hide the next ranked player for this season.

Last year they paid Fromm to stay away from the team. This year they'll pay to make the team if he can. I got no problem is they want to move on but I'd like to see him in the rest of camp and preseason before I make up my mind.

It's a tough balance to consider. I'm of the mind with Kumerow that if he is playing like a #5 WR or better in camp and preseason you don't worry about his age and keep him on the 53. Ultimately it's what Beane is paid to do so I feel pretty good about that. One thing I consider is although he is 29 in age in football years he is younger. He hasn't taken much of a beating and still could easily have 3-4 years of good play. This whole WR thing is an intriguing thing to watch this summer.

I did the "duck and cover" clip in advance of the inevitable Covid debate. I'm impressed the thread did not melt down to that yet.

Yes.

Yes. It's in no way a lock but I think the Bills will be letting a number of guys go and not signing many big money players.

Wow after thinking about it I wouldn't do it for a 3rd. Mitch is a great cheap insurance policy for the Bills. Mitch going to FA next year may get a 3rd as a comp for the Bills anyway. Indy will give up a 2nd for Wentz next year (if he is out for a long time) so that leaves me with their 1st which they won't likely do. It's a tough road they may be looking down. It will be interesting to see what will happen.

Wow none of the Colts backups have ever taken a snap in the NFL.

I'm sure you are right. ES is getting up in age (LOL) and I do expect Davis to spell him at times too. It will be a great way to keep him fresh.

Yes it's on Spotrac's books already. Signing bonus amortization is for cap hits not for cash. NY Jets books are their books not the owners that is true. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/cash/

I was thinking more of a Saved By the Bell one.

I pretty sure it's 5 "game situation" kicks during the team 11-11. Punters and Kickers also kick a lot during the Special Teams portion of practice.
