So stupid that they can't know the difference between "home" and "visitor?" You're not exactly maxxing out the Glasgow Coma Scale if you can't understand that.
But there are many (if not all) stadiums that have better visitor facilities. If you're a free agent with multiple options how does that not leave a more positive impression? You're acting as if free agents have some motivation to really dig and get to know Buffalo, which just isn't realistic, especially if you have multiple options on the table...in warmer climates, in larger cities, with better visitor facilities that left a better impression on you.
My argument is that Buffalo already has some knocks against it - so why not overcompensate and provide the best facilities all-around? Control your controllables, ya know? I don't buy the argument that the visitor locker rooms needs to be a dump like it's some 1970's rural high school showdown. You're not playing mind games with professionals, you're just cultivating the impression that Buffalo is a dump. Just update, I don't see any valid argument against it.

Whenever these arguments come up people always view through their personal lens and casually ignore the fact that they're not multimillionaire mega-athletes.
"That place has running water and air conditioning! I worked 20 years for air conditioning! What more do they expect?!"
It's not an accurate frame of reference in the slightest.

That's recent, and not too bad.
Visitor locker rooms are always worse than home locker rooms, of course. Any player who judges a team as a free agent destination based on the visitor's locker room is probably too stupid to be a good free-agent signing anyway.
But stupid players can be very good players.
This is a terrible argument.
Option A - state of the art facility in a sunny metropolis
Option B - dingy old facility in a hard luck steel town...that may be really great over the course of several months/years if it suits your taste and you spend a lot of time there and get to know the people, etc. etc. etc.
C'mon now.

Not really. If it’s an important factor, It’s on the player if they don’t know or do their due diligence to know that it’s only the visitor’s locker room that sucks. Which they wouldn’t be using if they were playing for the Bills. I’ve heard players from other teams say on radio that the visiting locker room sucks in buffalo but they know the rest is great.
Or...you could just update the locker room so that players don't have to go through these mental gymnastics. I get that this seems insanely lazy but we're dealing with millionaires here who have 31 other options. Buffalo already has some clear and obvious strikes against it when compared to other cities - why make players dig for information when they're likely visiting other locker rooms that are state of the art? Easy decision, really.
This team has a terrible habit of making simple things complex. "We swear we're a gem, you're just going to have to really get to know us." Pffft, ***** update and broadcast it! It's simple marketing.

Oh my god no. He's not even worth a 4th. He's a poor man's Lee Evans with a rap sheet. Absolutely not, I have no idea where this talk about him being top ten or even a legit #1 is even coming from.

DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones and, well, JuJu at this point. They’re all immensely likeable elite receivers.
Add AJ Green for me. I know he's been hurt but he's consistently a top WR and professional. And he choke slammed Jalen Ramsey which has to be worth something.
-
More TDs than turnovers, which should be all that anybody needs to see from a "project QB". Some of the responses here kill me. If he's not perfect, then he's not good apparently. He was the second best QB in the class this year, and certainly the best Josh.
Also, for you other degens out there, I read today that he put up more fantasy points than any other QB since week 12 which I thought was kind of insane. Kid is a freak, can't wait to see him again when he has another offseason under his belt and some new weapons.

Bears. I guess I just hate them the least out of all teams moving on, plus Mack is easy to root for.

They do suck. Up until very recently - like, a few weeks ago - they didn't suck as bad as our hometown boys did. Thankfully these teams (Bills/Skins) are now headed in opposite directions. It's just that using the Redskins as shorthand for "dysfunctional perennial losers" is a pet peeve of mine, because, well, they somehow always managed to patch it together and remain ... mediocre.
Fair enough. They may not be as bad as other teams on paper, I just think the perennial mediocrity for them over the years is even worse when you consider how many millions of dollars they've thrown at awful contracts and the fact that Dan Snyder seemingly has never known what he's doing. And now they've got guys like Swearinger (who is a loud mouth but a legit starter) STILL calling out the organization and then leaving, thus creating more holes. They've just been flailing since Snyder bought the team nearly 20 years ago and always seem like they're falling apart.

More likely they'll be the Bills of the Rex Ryan era. Accumulating bad contracts in the mistaken belief that they are almost there, not realizing that their one year of success was more of a fluke than a harbinger of better things to come. (By the way, the Redskins have been competitive most every year - including this year until the QB Apocalypse - and have made the playoffs more often than, umm, some other teams. I'm always puzzled as to why people pull out the Redskins card as shorthand for poor personnel decisions ... sure, they seem to try to make things as chaotic as possible, but somehow they still hang around)
I think the Redskins are a perfect example. They're an awful franchise. They've been terribly mediocre under Snyder's entire tenure, who has many times proven to be a loud, blundering, idiot, and ***** rolls downhill. They suck, dude. Seriously their best record since 1999 is 10-6! That's much more a history of disappointing mediocrity than "being competitive". $71M guaranteed for Alex Smith???!!! They are the worst franchise in the league, aside from maybe the Jags.

Absolutely. He's a moron who's intent was to injure.
That said, I'm not quite sure of his contract situation because Kiko Alonso's career isn't something that I ever think about, but I wonder if he should also worry about having a job in the future. A LB that can't properly spy a QB and who commits terrible penalties won't exactly be in high demand. Allen's going to put 80+ on the ground twice a year as long as that dweeb is on the other side of the ball.

Fournette is a beast. The new version of Marshawn Lynch. I don't know if he's a good character guy, but he's an excellent player. If the Jags don't want him, maybe we can trade a low-talent LB for him, and keep the string of larcenous trades going.
I remember when people had character concerns about Marshawn..and then he went on to win a Super Bowl and have a borderline HOF career.
Fournette should be alright with a change of scenery.
-
Total dumpster fire of an organization. The Jags peaked last year and are now going to be the Redskins of the AFC for the next decade. Awful leadership, players that don't want to be there, and a future of 5-11/6-10 records. I sincerely hope that Jalen Ramsey rots in that lame town for the rest of his career and fades into total obscurity.

A running qb is entertaining to watch, but it will only take you so far...
But he's not a "running QB". He's already got two passing TDs!
He's a a freak with a cannon who can also run. Celebrate it.

If all parties are interested then I have no problem with it. Shady's earned one last chance to show that he hasn't completely lost it. I still want them to draft and/or bring in a younger back, ideally someone like Ajayi or Tevin Coleman and not some 30 year old journeyman (watch it be Doug Martin...).

If you're looking for improvement in Josh Allen's accuracy you had better move onto the next QB in the draft.
The constant emoji closing in every single post kind of makes you come across like a lonely old cat lady that still plays with dolls. ***** is weird.

No. There is definitly something wrong if he is willing to lose all that money to smoke weed.
What about all of the money he's made for a lackluster football career?
Did Ricky Williams have issues or did he make a personal choice when he stepped away because he didn't want to stop smoking? Maybe I'm jaded, but some of the opinions here are so soft. This guy might just be a selfish, lazy dude playing damage control - not some heart wrenching sob story. The guy has more access to money and resources than you or I ever will. If he wanted to heal himself once and for all he could. It would take a lot of time and money, but he's got both now.

Real addiction is determined by the amount of money made in a career? Clubbing? Good God some of these posts!
Way to cherry pick to frame your "argument". I have like 8 other posts here that made my point entirely clear.
Point blank - I simply don't believe that his issue is as serious as some are making it, considering his history. You can choose to disagree and act like the subject matter expert as I'm sure you have multiple tabs open on the topic and are now an addiction expert. I personally believe that this guy just likes to smoke weed, got caught AGAIN, and is playing damage control.
I guess we'll see who's right soon enough. If TMZ snaps a pic of him clubbing or he joins a reality TV series within the year, I'm not going to shed a tear for him.

I've dealt with real addiction and deaths from it, but apparently I need to now feel sorry for an overgrown child millionaire who can't stop clubbing.
Boo-*****-hoo.

I'm with you. Weed is not an addiction, it's a will power issue.
I've been stopping/starting when I need to for decades. Now that I have degrees and a career, I'm all about daily rides on the MJ train. I've also earned it. If I needed to stop tomorrow, I would, and could. The worst thing that happens after you stop is that your dreams become so vivid for a few weeks that you may roll out of bed. The horror!

Exactly, I dont have close to the incentive/opportunity/resources he does. Other drugs I understand, but its time to stop giving passes to people out of pity. Dude is an adult and its time to accept responsibility.
Why is it so impossible for people to understand that he may just be incredibly selfish and undisciplined and chose to smoke and/or drink, got caught, and is now playing damage control?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me six times, and I'm an idiot.
It's entirely possible that some of these guys don't want/care to stop, and that may be more so due to entitlement, celebrity, and money than some hardcore addiction...

That dude is all over the place.
He also gave Kareem Hunt the benefit of the doubt. His hero worship clouds the fact that some of these rich, entitled children may actually be scumbags.

Buffalo's reputation amongst free agents
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Hee-hee, haw haw.
Meanwhile Buffalo still remains unattractive to high-end free agents.
