I’m not saying it was all bad, but the string of misses at QB definitely contributed to his loss of power.

probably the fact that Elway ended up pretty maligned and ended up giving up (or being stripped of) his personnel authority after his continuing failures to solve for QB post-Manning.

Gunner who’s the projected guard in the draft that’s just monstrous in size and strength that might fall to us? Don’t mean to put you on the spot but you’re my go-to expert all things draft.

wait what? How so?

Well look at that, the dancing joke was wrong.

Okay well 1: there is nothing suggesting this trip to the combine is interfering with his rehab schedule in any way and 2. I highly doubt Von considers this trip useless nonsense if he has an expressed desire to work in the front office after playing.

good point. Where were the threads castigating Allen for playing in pro am tournaments and meeting Tiger Woods last month?

curious to know what exactly he’s supposed to be doing “right now” to focus on playing football, since, right now, he’s: 1. not allowed to, and 2. still recovering from injury.

Heaven forbid a guy try to learn new things in preparation for his life after football. In the offseason, mind you, when the CBA prevents players from doing anything football related with their teams (even if they aren’t injured, which Von is.) I swear this place really is going way downhill.

I heard the Commanders got annihilated by this report.

just wait until this guy gets his money and is flying around at 3:00am in a Ferrari.

1. they’ve considered a roofed stadium for sure. They don’t consider it a priority. So it won’t be reevaluated as a “mistake” in the future (at least not one they’d admit.) 2. from the shots we’ve been shown so far, it looks highly unlikely this thing is amenable to just slapping a cover on top of it as a retrofit. So i’d bet it would be very hard to do it. But maybe not - luckily we have a resident architect on the board so he will be able to offer expert opinion.

Yeah that all tracks. Honestly my estimates are wishful thinking more than anything. like i don’t think (or hope) that my equivalent seats will be sold to me for less than $200/g/s. And the PSLs (which I think will be at least $10K for 2 seats) can be spread over a 5 or 10 year period, added into the ticket price year after year. yeah it‘s going to be expensive. Sticker shock is gonna hit people.

I am in 126 lower bowl facing the scoreboard, (same as Bills Elvis! But he’s down in row 1 ☹️ I am about 30 rows up) but if you broke it down it was like $90-95 per game. figuring out my “out” price is tough to do - family/peer pressure is a definitely a thing. But I do not want to lay out so much more given what I’ve seen so far. Personally, and I only have 2 seats, I’d do a $5,000 PSL and I’d do $160/seat/game. Anything more than that I’d consider dropping. EDIT: Found some of my 2022 tickets on my phone it was $113.00/seat. I gotta pay more attention to that s***

i’m not hating on this take but defense being “bought not drafted”…they drafted Tre, Milano, Taron, Hamlin, and these two rookie CBs that look pretty good so far. They missed on d linemen over and over again recently so I get it the recency bias.

look, i think i know what you’re saying here - talent should trump “culture” - and I agree with that 100%. But i def disagree that: 1. Terry has any sort of input into football s*** that would back McD up; and 2: that McD and Beane are at any sort of impasse. I just think they missed on the last couple drafts, in the early rounds. Sucks for sure. Get better at that high prospect ids (1st-3rd rd) and they’ll be fine. They have the hardest part of assembling a good team already set.

Very nice and thanks for clarifying! I too am more than happy that the team is now locked into playing in buffalo for the foreseeable future thanks to this deal. As to what I bolded in your quote above - some people are mad we aren’t getting a covered stadium. Some are mad we didn’t just copy the Vikings stadium. Others are mad the seating capacity is going to be reduced. Some think the jumbotron is too small. Still other(s) think they are super smart and should’ve been consulted at every step of the negotiations. I respect all these gripes (except the last one.) i’m gonna be there either way on opening day (unless they price me out.) or you’re just not very funny. Could be anything Einstein I’m sure you’ll figure it out!

goddamn I love Irv now. Well said sir.

my congressman knows my name too. That’s why they’re politicians, they remember the people who gave (or might give) them money. You’re not special, no matter how hard you try to convince us.

hey to be honest, seriously, if I had that number I’d give it to you and insist on listening in. I would also like to know why a enclosed stadium wasn’t possible here, beyond the “cost feasibility” reason they cited. Don’t care about a dome either way, but I do agree with you we deserve a better answer than that. he is always apparently serious, unfortunately.

Billionaires didn’t become billionaires catching feelings, they did it counting numbers. honestly I’ve always been on the side of idgaf if the new place is covered or not covered, but a lot of things in this thread have made me question that from a value proposition - I will definitely be taking a long look at what these prices look like for us STH. of course I’ll also wait for the full fly-through of the stadium before I go apoplectic.

No, it’s the worst way to sum it all up and that’s not surprising because Einstein always does that. You have direct control over what car you buy and what options you want. That’s a 1 to 1 transaction. This is representative, not direct democracy. You (even a collective amount of angry “yous” that can’t get your dome) have no say in the planning or design of a public building built on public lands, beyond your power to vote in or out the people that eventually make those decisions. you can complain, sure. But if you’re really that bent about it, complain to the people that matter. Or vote with your wallet and cancel your seats. And not just for the new stadium, cancel them immediately.

if i pay $10 more per game, can I get snow machines blowing right in my face?

Says more about your proclivities than the architects’, to be honest.

ugh. I know. I really hope the Bills and Populous release the full, 3D fly through of the whole thing soon. I know (thanks to you) that these renders are caps of the actual model, but they still are limited to the angles they’re capped at. I’m sure when that full presentation is out, the same people will complain even harder.
