    If a person takes home $9,400 a month, with that $3,000 ticket, he still has $6,400 a month to live off of.  

     

    A guy that takes home $3,200 a month, that $1,100 hurts him a lot more.  That's only $2,100 leftover.  Mortgage/Rent, groceries, utilities, car payments, general family every day costs....yeah that guy isn't buying $1,100 tickets.  

     

     

     

    It's pretty ridiculous.  

     

    Families making $22.00 an hour aren't buying $1,100 tickets and it doesn't make up the vast majority of the stadium lol.

    I'm not sure about you guys but I have to buy Health Insurance from my company which is pretty pricey.

     

    I also put a good percentage towards my 401K as well.

     

    This is all before I even get my check.

     

    Don't you all have kids to send to college too ?

     

    I'm afraid the numbers just don't add up

    Reposting this because it's going to get lost in the thread:

     

     

    The Bills kept the issues under wraps for the most part. But anyone who knew someone close to the team was aware of his constant distractions, both in public and behind the scenes.

    Really ? So when McDermott found out about this he didn't bench Diggs for the rest of the game ?

    How are we still even talking about this ?

    I think we continue to talk and speculate endlessly about 13 seconds is because the truth about all the breakdowns has never been fully revealed. 

     

    If McDermott has indeed taken responsibility then why not reveal second by second all the mistakes that happened? Whether by coaching staff or the players ?

     

    I'm not saying McD should call a press conference but if asked on a podcast what happened he should tell everything. 

     

    "Coach, well what exactly happened during 13 seconds ?"

     

    McDermott: "I'm surprised we're still talking about this but let me take full responsibility. The buck stops with me. I'm going to answer every question..."

     

    But McD hasn't done that. He's been incredibly secretive about it, perhaps more secretive than the government is about UFOs in Roswell New Mexico.

     

    And by suppressing the truth, instead of burying the issue, it has had an opposite effect.

     

    Years later we are still talking about it coming up with theory after theory. Fans are trying to fill in the gaps.

     

    I started the OP hoping that more truth would come out and we could put this to rest.

     

    But it had the opposite effect fueling even more speculation and much of that is McDermotts fault by not coming clean.

     

    The Bills fans deserve to know the truth.

     

    My fellow Bills fans alway remember

     

    "The harder you try to suppress the truth, the more inevitable it is that it will find a way to come out.”

    It’s been, well………at least 13 seconds. 

     

     

    I didn’t check, sorry if I missed one. 

     

    To the OP, it’s legit material, IMO. Tired, but legit. Not ragging on you. 

    I only posted this because the Bills have been very tight lipped about 13 seconds.

     

    But as time goes on the TRUTH will eventually leak out.

     

    Poyer is now speaking out giving Bills fans info on what happened. 

     

    You cannot suppress the truth forever and the fans deserve to know

    Wait, how do you come away from that and say it's a McDermott issue? I'm genuinely interested in your reasoning..

     

    A. The ST coach should've called a squib, obviously.  

    .B. Frazier called the plays. But you claim it's a McDermott issue🙄

    I said since that game that this was the main killer. They were so afraid of Reek from the series before that they went super,ultra soft coverage 

    But if the stoopid ST coordinator simply kicks a squib, we win.. smh.. that was so gut wrenching 

    Come on.

     

    Yes, absolutely the ST coach should have called a squib.

     

    But McDermott couldn't spoken to him through the head phones and said "Lets make sure we do the squib here.  I REPEAT - LETS MAKE SURE WE DO THE SQUIB HERE !!!"

     

    What was McDermott doing during that critical time in the game ?  Leaving the responsibility for such a critical call to someone else ???

    Great of Poyer to not point fingers even though he’s no longer on the team. You can tell it still bothers him.

     

    The team really need to let this go and move forward. It seems like they’re still stuck on this game and what could’ve been. I know most fans definitely are. Time to move on. 

    I thought it was great to hear it from a player's perspective.

     

    The team has been really hush hush about this.

    It has been beat to death about the squib kick. There is a reason the ST coach was fired and Leslie didn’t come back. 

    Those were the guys who fell on the sword for what happened.

     

    But McDermott never took any responsibility.

     

    In fact, he avoided talking about it at all.

    Nice subjective reading.  He said "we all made mistakes."  He included himself.  Not just McDermott.

     

    There is no question the team wasn't prepared for the moment, and that of course is on McDermott.   However, he said "we all made mistakes, and the clear implication is that a lot of different people could have done things differently.

    Poyer: " and you just see really how much more like connected [the Chiefs were] and they were just way better than us in that time."

     

    Why were the Chiefs so much better than us in that time ?

     

    The buck stops at McDermott.

     

    He's the HEAD coach !

  9.  

    While appearing on "The Danza Project," former Bills safety Jordan Poyer was asked about the drive in which the Chiefs tied the game.

    "From getting the ball back without much time, without squibbing the ball, and then [we] give up a freaking screen that goes 30 yards down the field to Tyreek [Hill]," Poyer said. "We [were] just playing soft zone. And you look back and you look at the "NFL Films" and you just see really how much more like connected [the Chiefs were] and they were just way better than us in that time."

     

     

    Poyer was asked about the soft zones, and it was pointed out that Leslie Frazier seemed to call a lot of those styles of defenses, but Poyer didn't point any fingers. 

    "You can point fingers here and there and elsewhere," Poyer said. "It was just an entire operation. There's not really one finger that you can point at all because it was the entire end of our game operation that wasn't good enough."

     

    Sounds like a McDermott issue
