SF Bills Fan

Yep- I guarantee we will get the Pats coming off a bye or we have a short week to prepare. Some little advantage that will go to them. it is like the olden days against Miami where we never hosted them in the late fall/winter, always early in the season.

When do the leaks begin? I'm planning to go to the Bills-Rams and I'd like to have that one early in the season

I could only guess Jax is what he refers to. They have a hard time selling out at times. But Khan already plays a game in London every year and makes a lot off that. This proclamation sounds like nonsense.

I'm convinced the Pats have a Moneyball type system in place to some extent. They are canny at getting the perfect players that fit in their system. They have to be looking at specific metrics. That would explain why people thrive there and then are average when they leave that system.

It's astounding how he turned everything around- now he is a rock solid teammate and a fan favorite

Charging Buffalo means business. I like the charging Buffalo with the old Unis

If the team was winning, in the the playoffs and exciting to watch, you'd be surprised what people will pay. They'd probably get lots more money from Toronto fans to start.

Man- I hope they don't read this board. They may decide to up and head to Hamilton.

Great- I think one day, the Pegulas will be viewed up there with the influential guys like Craft and Jones. I'm curious as to which camp they backed in the whole Carson vs. Inglewood fight.

Id say they are optimistic on us. I do feel we are 100% a playoff calibre team, though. We were last year but 1+1 somehow equaled -1

This guy is a lazy hack that probably gets bum steers in every town he goes to. Going to Niagara Falls was probably a huge deal since he probably never leaves his hotel other than to go to the stadium when he is in town. It sounds like he either doesn't do any research or is likely too stupid to recognize a place like Big Ditch or Blue Monk as he walks by counting the ratio of Taco Bells in Buffalo vs Philly. 20 years from now he may stumble into Canalside by accident (though he may think he is in Toronto) and we will get treated to an article about how Philly's outdoor rinks are icier than Buffalo's because Philly will always win to homers like this.

Great news- this is one guy I wanted locked in.

I'd like to stay at the new Harborcenter Marriott- the full service one. My buddy stayed there and said it was great.

Could be doughnuts since it is cops.

Arrowhead was rebuilt for roughly 300 million and RWS stadium could have a similar remodel. They already put 120 million into RWS so it's already part way there. Arrowhead and RWS are similar, I see this as a very realistic option.

No kidding- that would be a steal by San Francisco standards. That would be 20 million easily in San Francisco if not more. Then again, San Francisco is completely overpriced and silly in terms of the real estate market

an interesting takeaway is that it really appears that Goodell is in a weakened position. Sounds like he was on the verge of being replaced during the Ray Rice scandal.

Yes- that was a very interesting article on the ESPN site about this today. I was going to post about it and you beat me to it. Reading through, you can only wonder what the Pegula's thought about the process since it was so decisive and contentious and broke people into factions. Being so new, they must have wondered exactly what they go themselves into. I wonder where they aligned on this since the influential owners like Jones, Richardson and Kraft were not all together on their choices. I know that Ralph was usually one to abstain from things like this.

NFL films immortalized the league by putting epic plays in slow motion to Drunken Sailor

Spanos just announced it. He wants to work out a stadium deal with San Diego. I figured this would happen .

If he has great year next year it will be north of 100 million. Probably 7 years with 25 million signing and 60 million guaranteed. The rest heavily performance based over the later years. It will still be huge if he has a decent year but not quite as good as last year.

The NFL will never allow a team inVegas. Davis should monitor the Chargers situation and move there if the Chargers go to LA. San Diego is a good market that deserves a team no matter what. Though, it would be odd for San Diego fans to suddenly be a fan of a former division rival. It would be like Bills fan suddenly rooting for the Jets

I think most of America would Ike to see Peyton win and leave the game on top. I would like it, but think it may be a game like Seahawks-Broncos of a few years ago. If the Broncos make it a game, it will be because of their D.

As long as the Pegulas own the team, they will go nowhere - new stadium or not. I do feel a new stadium will be built eventually. We don't need a 2 billion dollar stadium like LA and it wouldn't cost $2 billion to build a stadium in Buffalo no matter anyway. Land is not at a premium like in LA. The fact of the matter is that the NFL is set up so that all teams should be successful financially no matter what the market size. The league needs teams in places like Buffalo, Green Bay, Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Cleveland even if the owners don't make as much in those markets as they do in the large markets. If that's an issue then just eliminate all of the smaller markets with their smaller bottom lines yet loyal fan bases and make it a league in the only wealthy big markets and see how well that goes over.

Playoff team via AFC East champ. Stadium talk will be heavy with downtown near Cobblestone and Harborcenter being favored
