I don't think you are in the minority at all. As a Bills fan living in NJ I miss Giants Stadium. MetLife is a POS. I don't need a bar or restaurant in the stadium. I prefer tailgating in the parking lot for drinking and eating. Giants stadium was perfect as it was simply a football stadium without the bars, restaurants, and stores. That is what I love about New Era. It's a football stadium where the real fans can still afford to attend games. At MetLife we have a corporate crowd now as many of the diehard fans have been priced out.

Stidham Newton Newton I think Stidham starts because he has been in the system and Cam hasn't. If this were a normal offseason then I could see Cam starting week one. Tough to learn the offense when you don't have a real offseason program.

Not really but talk about overkill. It will make Jerry's look like a POS. If/when the Bills get a new stadium I would expect it to be just your basic scoreboard for out of town scores

He resurrected his career filling in for Brees and going 5-0 during that time.

Last season was probably the first time McDermott had a team that could beat the Pats. This year he has a team that should beat the Pats. His first two years here he had no shot.

I know politics is a no-no but I thought it is up to him as far as fans attending games go in NY. Same around the country with each governor/mayor of that region. The league has to follow the rules of the government. That was my understanding. Hoping the Bills can have fans at New Era as this should be a great season.

I thought it was Cuomo who makes that call for NY sports teams.

When it comes to NE I am more concerned with Allen and the offense against Belichick and their defense. If the Bills can hold their own in this matchup then they should be 1-1 and maybe even 2-0. The Bills defense will be fine against the Pats offense no matter who the QB is. Also ST and who wins the turnover battle play a part as well obviously but the Bills O vs the Pats D is the key matchup in these games

The Bills offense needs to step up. It won't be easy since NE's defense is tough. The Bills at worst need to go 1-1 against the Pats if they want to win the division. I think they have the team to finally do that this year.

The Pats don't have a lot of weapons of offense. The Bills D should handle them just fine. Cam BTW is 0-8 in his last 8 starts isn't the player he used to be. The big question is can Allen have success against that D. Even Peyton who was one the best and smartest QB's to play the game had his struggles against a Belichick led defense.

If 2015 comes back again then I will be worried with Cam going to the Pats. In 2020 Cam doesn't move the needle that much. On paper the Bills are the best team in the division. They need to prove it on the field and I think they will.

With the Newton signing at least we know they won't be tanking for Trevor Lawrence. Even without Cam I figured they would win enough games with their D to keep them away from getting the #1 pick. I still think the Bills win the division. Cam is upgrade for them but he isn't the player he used to be either.

If the Pats finally have a bad year then the fans/media will ignore them and focus on the Sox, B's, and Celtics. That area isn't a great football market like WNY is.

This is why I think Josh will show great improvement this year. He has two years of experience now. Josh is probably (hopefully) at the point where the game is slowing down for him. That should make him more comfortable when he is in the pocket which should lead to better decision making in where to go with ball. If it does then the Bills will be right there with the Chiefs/Ravens in representing the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Year 3 for Allen, Darnold, Mayfield. I would say its put up or shut up time for all three. I do think Josh showed solid improvement from year 1 to year 2. He definitely needs to take another step. I mentioned this before but he should have sat and held a clipboard his rookie year and watched Peterman/McCarron. But since the Bills ****ed up their QB situation so bad at the time Allen got thrown out there in a sink or swim situation. To make matters worse the Bills were a bad team with a horrible offense. Considering where he started from I think Josh has done a good job. Hopefully he takes the next step to being a solid QB this year and quiets his critics.

I think the CS has done a great job. When McDermott came here it was 17 straight seasons without the playoffs. They have made it in 2 of the last 3 seasons as well as coming off a 10 win season. Sure their are things McDermott can improve on and he would probably tell you that but their is no reason they can't win it all at some point assuming Allen continues to improve.

No surprise here at all. I feel bad for the 2020 HOF class as that is always a special day for the inductees but it's obvious the ceremony wasn't happening.
