Buffalo region will be reopened at the end of April with the border reopening soon after. The world is driven by money and greed. Too many people losing money.
There’s no chance. Buffalo will be opened on the same timeline as the rest of the state, which Cuomo has recently said is still week’s away. They haven’t even begun their multi-state plan to reopen the economy yet.You’re not going to see schools reopen this academic year. I’d wager you won’t see non-essential businesses until at least mid-May. An international border? Who knows.

Wait until they have to pay Patrick Mahomes. I really love the way we are being smart with the money. I think Buffalo is going to get more and more dominant every year as other teams start to get in cap jail.
And Josh Allen is going to be free? If Allen continues to progress as this team’s franchise QB, he’s going to be 35 million a year. -
Interesting, since Mike Clay also has JA ranked as his #7 fantasy QB. I’ve also heard him talk very positively of JA on various podcasts.
In general, I really like Clay but he’s a statistical analysis guy and let’s be honest, at this point, JA is a gamer who gets it done in spite of the stats. It isn’t always pretty but he gets it done. I think this ranking reflects that.

Considering OBL is essentially a team-backed PR show, I’m surprised the Bills haven’t sent over some new talking points for Murph and Tasker. Really must be absolutely nothing going on over there.

So it’s like the majority of team’s backup QB situations?-

Here’s a news flash. It’s inevitable that schools will be closed for the remainder of the year, everywhere.
As a school teacher, that’s starting to come more into focus as a potential reality. One shoe already dropped with one state already announcing it and another state hinting at it. In New York, we have the governor saying the outbreak peak is still 45 days away and my district is already sending us instructional updates requesting us to move to more online distance learning. To me, that suggests they’re preparing for the four weeks off to become four months off. -

Closed through 4/20 .... ironic
It’s not ironic at all. It’s the first day after a scheduled week long spring break.
-
With Williamsville and Lancaster schools announcing their closed indefinitely, I’d expect the rest (Buffalo and immediate suburbs) to close indefinitely as well.
Who knows if the BPS will actually have that school day Tuesday. Sort of defeats the purpose of starting a social distancing quarantine if they do.

I cannot understand why anything is cancelled, it's being pushed on us as I'd call it a Medical Marshall Law..it's B.S. basically to put people in fear as we should be more worried about the 5G going up everywhere! Spain Flu killed 50 Million in 1918. How many have died from this virus? Flu kills in the 60'000 sum a year. Keep people in fear, nothing more nothing less but brainwash and control the population. Six-pack of corona with one lime disease please!??
So we should just let the virus spread uncontrollably like wildfire through asymptomatic carriers until it’s ravaging the elderly and medically frail everywhere?That’s how you end up with a million dead.

You only consider the move for OBJ if you’re McD and you think you can knock down OBJ’s ego a couple pegs and keep him in check.
Id consider a second and another pick, definitely not blowing Cleveland away. Looking for a buy low situation like Randy Moss from Oakland to NE.

If we, as a species, didn't embrace change, we'd still be wandering naked in the warmer parts of the world, hiding from all the carnivores big enough to eat us, and grubbing/scavenging for whatever we could find to eat. Where do you think change should have stopped? With the use of fire? With the domestication of the wolf? With learning to cultivate crops? With the invention of writing? Where do you draw the line where you oppose more changes? Every change brings positives and negatives, but generally, those changes make things "good" for things better in the long run.
That's a generalization that's totally unsupported by any facts. Why do you think that just because a player makes big $$$ that he would opposed to sharing the largess from the NFL's pot of gold with his teammates? NFL teams stress being "a band of brothers" rather than individuals, so it's more likely that opposition to a 17th game would stem from individual perspectives not from a general divide between the elite and the rest of the players.
FTR, since the "union leadership" is answerable through elections to the rank-and-file, why would they favor the relatively few players making huge salaries to the detriment of the majority? If the NFLPA leadership opposes the new CBA, it's because it's not giving the rank and file good enough salary, health insurance, and retirement benefits.
What the hell strawman are you prattling on about? I made no argument about what you’re writing.I DID directly respond to a post about the player’s union having to vote on a 17th game. I’d also respond to what you think is unsupported by facts, which is generally (and I used that term) true and can be seen throughout the tenets of the NFLPA’s own prior contract preferences. This isn’t the place for that argument, though.
Don’t create strawman arguments. It’s intellectually dishonest.

I believe Kurt Cobain and Nirvana killed Hair Metal/Glam rock. The hair metal bands really started going away after 1991, by 1994 their heyday was over. Nirvana, along with Pearl Jam (who I can't stand) did usher in grunge. My biggest problem with grunge was it was just a fad and short-lived, leaving a void that was filled by hard core rap, which I hate more than Pearl Jam.
Nirvana was always a band whom I didn’t like but respected their place in music until the ‘Your Favorite Band Sucks’ podcast really hammered home my dislike for Cobain and the band.A solid listen unless you really love Nirvana, then you might be a little bummed afterwards.

My first reaction to a 17th game is that we see the real lack of concern by the NFL for player safety. The NFL implemented the concussion protocol and modified rules to reduce injuries due to social pressure. When there is potential to increase revenue, player safety takes a back seat every time.
It’s not like the NFL can just add a 17th game against the wishes of the NFLPA. The player’s union has to sign off on it. Now, union leadership is generally weighted towards the most tenured/powerful members and maybe that leadership has the persuasive clout to tell its members, “***** you, we are/aren’t playing a 17th game” but the majority still has to vote in favor of playing an extra game to get it done.I expect it will pass, because the majority of members are lower wage/shorter playing career guys who will benefit from an extra game check. That will be the players choosing to have “player safety take a back seat.”

Who cares? He plays in KC and has nothing to do with the Bills. He played like ***** in the Super Bowl and was a joke of a SB MVP. Had Sherman actually covered glass Joe SF would have won the game.
1) I would assume that football fans care, mainly the football fans discussing it for five pages.2) Buffalo Bills fans may also care considering that we have a young QB whose next contract will be based on the market that Mahomes sets.
3) You also care considering that you spent moments of your free time reading and commenting on it. And guys like you always respond about how much you don’t actually care, so don’t bother.#badtakes

Why would Erie/Buffalo/NYS want to pony up for another convention center AND a chunk of the stadium cost? To host a few more (smaller) convention events that the current convention center may be missing out on?
This makes little sense.
Re: Convention CenterI know for a fact that the city put feelers out to local developers in regards to a new convention center. There was never an official RFP issued but a bigger and modernized convention center is on the city’s radar.
Now, the city’s broke and I’m not sure how high up a new convention center is on the state’s priority list of things to help Buffalo out with considering the looming stadium issue and Metro Rail expansion but it’s definitely something local leadership is pursuing on some level.
That said, there’s a lot of things that the city has and still is “pursuing” that never got off the ground. The city’s been sitting on the Mohawk Ramp RFP for like three years now so nothing comes quickly in this city.
So I’m not saying it’s a good idea or that it’s going to ever happen, just that the city has previously expressed interest in getting a new convention center built.

I won't tailgate downtown
And building it in the Perry project's will STILL up all of our taxes in the city which are still too high and push people out of neighborhoods.. i never said a stadium in OP would cost a billion...
A stadium Downtown would cost a billion which we can't afford
And honestly Buffalonians don't care about Canada we have enough problems to worry about. The last thing the Bills should do IS CARE WHERE CANADIAN'S want it
I'm a Buffalonian and American
Where ever it goes it goes at the end of the day... But to think it will make buffalo a booming place is a lie
Buffalo and Buffalo business owners absolutely care about Canada. You’re underestimating the importance of Southern Ontario on Buffalo.-

What do you consider southern Ontario , Niagara Falls Ont? And what do you consider outer suburbs? Are you talking like Akron or East Aurora lol
Because I HIGHLY doubt anyone in cheektowaga or Depew or West Seneca have a longer drive time to downtown than someone from even southern Ontario..
You don’t think somebody from Fort Erie can get to downtown Buffalo quicker than somebody from Depew? They literally could walk into downtown if they wanted.
Southern Ontario is generally considered the Fort Erie-Niagara Falls-St Catherines metro. That includes places like Welland.
St Catherines takes about 30 minutes once you get on the QEW but it’s an easy drive. Wife is from there, made it hundreds of times. Niagara Falls ON is about a 20 minute drive into downtown Buffalo, and the Fort Erie area is literally the international first ring suburb that wasn’t.
Buffalo and its inner suburbs are considered a “20 minute city.” All those Canadian residents are within, or just outside by a negligible amount of time, that 20 minute window. Most of them have direct highway access to downtown Buffalo as well.

This doesn’t even take into account the 300,000 people in Soutern Ontario who live closer to the City of Buffalo proper than people in Buffalo’s outer suburbs. Not to mention, the 700,000 people a quick hour drive down the QEW in Hamilton.Buffalo is as much of a regional center as it is a self-contained place.

Mahomes will run the AFC for the next 15 years
He really has zero competition. Lamar has no future in the league and Watson isn't winning anything under BoB
There’s always a Manning to the Brady. Mahomes might be the AFC’s best but there’ll be another QB that’s right there as the thorn in his side. Hopefully that’s JA but we’ll see...

Perry Projects. That would link Canalside development to Larkinville.
That would make a lot of sense. The City of Buffalo/BMHA have been essentially neglecting that entire site since the redevelopment plans a bunch of years back fell through. With the Old First Ward neighborhood improving and a connector to Canalside and the Outer Harbor, I can easily see the city loving a massive project to replace housing projects. The only issue is parking, it’s still part of the urban core. There cannot/should not be any new sprawling surface lots so that will be interesting.
If they go this route, they’re going to get a hell of a pushback from affordable housing advocates and other social justice groups, though.

You?
I’m sorry but your impressions of Buffalo aren’t accurate. As someone who’s also very well travelled, I’m not going to claim Buffalo is growing more than other places but it’s not “still on the decline.” Life and progress in the actual city (read: not the suburbs) is better than it’s been in decades.
...which is to say a lot considering how incompetent city government is across the board.

The NFL’s television deals pay the salary cap for the entire league so Cousins would probably still be getting some pretty big checks.
Just sayin’.
