    I used to think differently. There’s plenty of people here with money. The suburbs of Buffalo are full of people with bulging fat pockets. Some of the reason they don’t go to games is because of the game day experience. They don’t want to go to a game to be puked on, insulted, get into fights, freeze their asses off, be dripping wet for 6+ hours. Do I think we would do well with suite/box sales? Probably not. But I think cozy club seats or comfortable covered seats in fairly friendly, ogre free sections will fit their needs nicely. 

    I know when I lived in rochester, we had seasons, and I refused to sit in the 100s... the club sections were PERFECT.

    I think you are completely delusional about what’s about to happen. You’re even more delusional if you think hockey games even come close to the draw of the NFL. NHL hockey is like the 6th most popular sport in this country. Behind Football, Baseball, Basketball, Golf, NASCAR. They will have no general issue selling out these seats. It’s only to depend on how many wine and cheese fans get them, and how many brokers get them. The days of the 20 year old drunks flying through tables are over once this new building comes. Sure you’ll get a little bit of it, but it’s going to be extremely toned down. And to answer the question, yes, a lot of people are going to take advantage of the 10 year option. Especially the few die hard that can’t afford their tix up front. 

    Exactly, any city that wants to take on the Bills will gladly pay the $1B fee to have the rights to the Bills 

    incredible, how people still believe money is difficult to get or scarce... the abundance, yes, even in WNY is huge. numbers nobody can even fathom.

    It goes in cycles -- and assuming we still have #17 for years to come, the Bills' time will eventually come.

     

    It took Landry and the Cowboys awhile to get to the dance because Lombardi and the Packers stood in their way.

    It took Noll and the Steelers awhile because Shula and the Dolphins stood in their way.

    It took the Raiders awhile because the Steelers stood in their way.

    It took the 49ers awhile because Landry's Cowboys stood in their way.

    Then, it took the Cowboys awhile because the 49ers stood in their way.

    It took Favre and the Packers awhile because the Aikman/Emmitt/Irvin Cowboys stood in their way.

    It took the whole league awhile (including Manning/Colts, Cowher/Steelers, Reid/Chiefs) to get past the Brady/Belichick Patriots.

    Now, it is KC with Reid/Mahomes that stands in everyone's way.

     

    I am optimistic that with a few additions (especially at WR and on defense) and better luck with health come playoff time, we will eventually see the Bills hoist a Lombardi trophy.

    post of the offseason. A+

    Laugh all you ***** want.

     

    The Bills and Bills Mafia will be celebrating our ever living asses off next February.

     

    Just wait and see.

    Means. with NO money to spend, 100M blackhole in the miller contract, 28 FA's....beane finds a player somewhere that can impact a game like chris jones? Without that guy their defense isn't tops. without him they looked highly beatable and pedestrian. as it sits, we've roasted draft capital on guys that TRULY are JAGs.... ONE player of Jone's magnitude and our defense becomes what it should be. Till we get THAT guy and away from millers contract, the beatings will continue till morale improves.

    You both seem to think that the NFL gets more money based on how many people will be watching this particular SB---or that they get money from"advertisements".  Neither is correct. 

     

    CBS (along with Fox, ABC/ESPN, Amazon and NBC) just purchased the rights to b broadcast NFL games in 2021--these contracts are locked in until 2033.  CBS's contract is for 2.1 billion per year and includes 3 Super Bowls (2023, 2027 and 2031).  If ever Taylor Swift on earth tunes in----in fact  if 7 billion people watch this year's SB, the NFL won't make an extra penny because  it's already bought and paid for by CBS.

     

    Obviously CBS makes that back by selling the ads for the game.  Those ads are bought by companies with goods and services to sell.  Theoretically, the Taylor Swift might have the potential for CBS to sell the ads for more and enhance THEIR bottom line (not the NFL's)....but CBS sold out its SB ads by Halloween--likely before the impact of this couple peaked.

     

    None it will make a difference for the NFL's bottom line. 

    Yet... if 7 BILLION people watched every year... the contracts AFTER 2033 are going to be 6 billion a year. Get how that works?

    Levy can be criticised for poor clock management in XXV. He also failed to recognize that Thurman wasn't getting tripped and should have told Marchibroda/Kelly to look to run more. As we had drives that were less than 3 minutes and was no wonder the defense was gassed. I could go on and on.

    That actually worked out as Kelly developed and we sucked so bad we were in position to draft Bruce Smith. If Kelly plays in Buffalo out of college we might not in same position.

    belicheck put 3 down lineman out there for the first 3 QUARTERS...Thurman Thomas scored a touchdown, rushed for 135 yards on 15... yes... 15 carries, and caught five passes for 55 yards.... 9 yards a carry. The second billisest thing from that game was that DON SMITH scored the first touchdown in bills SB history. Or how about 3rd and 13, buffalo hits Oj anderson like 5 times before he miraculously gained 14.... poor scotty should never have been in that position... Its 1000000% on marvs head that they lost that game. STUPID.

    There has been so many embarrassing moments being a bills fan. Way to many to count.  

    seriously.. .no other team has the list of absolute Fu@kery we have... sure, there's teams that were horrible and awful going 0-16.... but id rather go 0-16 than say, self destruct with 13 seconds, or a miss a FG to win after getting 5 turnovers from tony romo, or fumbling with a minute or so left after not beating NE in a decade... its just so ridiculous. Being a bills fan is like being in an abusive relationship you cannot leave. Unfortunately for the real fans like us, its seared into our souls.

    Of course it’s rigged. Who the hell outside of buffalo and detriot would watch that superbowl? You got the shiftiest and the niners. Which game will draw the biggest audience?

    At the end of the day the nfl is in business to make money. It’s 
     called entertainment for a reason, just like fake wrestling. 

    premise correct, reasoning wrong. 
    You have a GLOBAL billionaire singer they can show repeatedly to an audience they don't normally reach. The NFL gets paid for EYEBALLS on advertisments. its come out shes been responsible for around 331m worth of viewers just this year alone. Anyone who thinks an "entertainment" league CANT determine outcomes of games especially when they have global asipirations ala the NBA, is fooling themselves. Piss on markets like buffalo, will always get the shaft. no matter whos the qb, coach, wr, rb, whatever.... its clearly evident as, well, the results have not changed but the names and faces have. Buffalo is still being punished for 4 straight. imagine how badly that chewed into revenues? if it wasnt dallas, or NY markets on the other sideline..... woof.

    that's not how it works.  No matter how many people tune in for the SB (or don't), it has no immediate impact on revenue for the NFL--that game was paid for by CBS a while ago. 

     

    Also, the matchups hardly matter:

     

    Tampa (small market in a college football state) vs KC (tiny market other than hate watchers nationally) had over 100 million total viewers.

     

    NE vs Atlanta (zero national fanbase, mediocre local fanbase) had the most ever--126 million. 

     

    In fact nearly every other game got at least 110 million.  It doesn't matter. 

     

     

    matters when the global pop icon can push that 100m viewers to 160m.

    What killed Super XXVIII is after the Nate Odomes interception we couldn't punch in a TD before the end of the first half. I think if we do our spirits are high and if Thurman still fumbles it's not as devastating.

    watched many a documentary and interview about that game... the whole team deflated cause of that fumble in the 2nd dallas game... bad things come quickly especially when the team was not mentally prepared.. "oh no, here we go again" becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I blame levy. for 25 and 28. nobody was beating redskins or dallas in the first one.

    The recent back and forth whether to move on from McDermott because he “can’t get us over the hump” takes me back to one game: Super Bowl XXVII against the Dallas Cowboys.  The Bills had an up and down 1992 season, failing to win the division and losing Kelly to injury last game of the season.  The playoffs, however, were memorable, starting with the Comeback against the Oilers, followed by impressive road wins against the Steelers with Reich again at QB, and the Dolphins, with Kelly back at QB.  
     

    The Super Bowl, however, was a debacle and an embarrassment.  No question Cowboys had a very strong team and frankly a better team.  It shouldn’t have been a blowout.  It’s interesting to look at stats and play-by-play from the game.  Bills had more first downs and total yardage was relatively close.  Final score - 52 - 17!  Two key sequences. Down 14 - 7, Bills has second and goal from Dallas one.  Two runs and an interception followed.  Later, Bills down 21 - 7, Bills had first and goal inside the Dallas 5 and settled for a FG.  That was pretty much all she wrote.  The embarrassing part was that the Bills fumbled eight times and lost five and threw four interceptions, two each by Kelly and Reich.  Nine turnovers in the biggest game of the year!!!! 
     

    It’s hard to imagine a less well prepared team going into a big game.  Levy was a good coach, not a great coach. It was clear after that game that he’d never lead the Bills to a SB win.  Do you fire a coach who has led you to three straight SB’s?  In hindsight, the answer is, yeah you probably do.  Blow it up and let your GM start the rebuild. Instead we fire the GM and keep the coach.

     

    Does this give any insight to our present situation?  I think yes.  McDermott should be on the hot seat this year.  Super Bowl or bust.  If we don’t do in 2024, time to move on.

    yea. when i tell people they had 9 turnovers in that game they think im kidding.

    I'll enjoy the sense of peace.

     

    I truly cannot have peace right now. I meditate, I eat right, I have a very good perspective on life w/ all of its triumphs & setbacks.  But the Bills not winning a title is like some sort of wall between me & true happiness that I can't see beyond, or get past.

     

    Probably sounds a bit melodramatic.  But I do not have peace.  When the Bills win it all - I will, and plan to just enjoy that experience.

     

    Same... it's this demon that follows me... even at 44 years old... so strange that our peace is in the hands of 20 something year old kids that play a game... I KNOW it's ridiculious... changes nothing.

    Diggs and Von Miller contracts are going to prevent the bills from fixing this team.

    Both are washed and we are stuck with them.

    Meanwhile KC has 75 Million plus to play with in free agency.

    The bills can forget superbowl for years to come.

    Josh Allen will end like manning not winning til over 30.

    Talk about billsy.

    More like rivers. unfortunately. THAT would be billsy.

    Dugger and or Chinn and thank the old guys for their service

    Throw the bank at dugger. pretty sure beane wanted him in the 2020 draft... remember pats had to take him at 37... David Cole, one of Dugger's collegiate coaches, told Howe that someone with the Bills had said that Buffalo would "definitely" pick Dugger if he was available at 54th overall.
