Just now, BuffaloRebound said:
The punts though frustrating were the right calls. It’s what leads up to that where lack of discipline and coaching show up. The back to back punt return holds are inexcusable. Martin was fantastic and defense did its job with two 3 and outs and then 2 idiots on special teams cost 45 yards in field position. Yet nobody loses their job. Same with Phillips. The defense plays great, wins the game and then complete moron play by him. Yet he won’t lose his job. No accountability because our QB has propped everybody else up the lay 3+ years.
100% disagree, deciding to give the other team a better chance to win by 1.5X is not the "right call"

Doesn't this mean that this decision increased the Bucs chance of winning by 1.5X from (2% to 3%), which is a huge increase. The thing that bothers me about these 4th down decisions is they are so simple. Does this give my team a better chance to win?? Yes, do it. No, don't do it. Making the repeated incorrect mathematical decision is a firable offense IMO.

Getting pretty annoyed at the Commander's forum, which is comparing Dawson Know to a convicted rapist and Stefon Diggs to a starving African child in their "Look-A-Likes" thread:
https://es.redskins.com/topic/453313-2023-bills-look-a-like-thread/
They are also saying it snows even in the summer in Buffalo and Josh Allen is a turnover machine and the offense is broken down.
[And the idiots over there can't even change the url domain name.]
Here it is. Just copy only the url up the last number before the question mark. Don't copy "?s=20"
I think most of their look-a-like thread is pretty funny. I especially like Tyler Matakevich as Tormund Giantsbane, which is the ultimate compliment.

Explain how standing “makes it more fun”. Can’t wait for the response.
Hmm, didn't think this needed explanation. Ever been to a rock concert where everyone is sitting vs one everyone is standing. Which one feels more exciting? Maybe for a Dick Jauron team it is more appropriate to sit, but for Josh Allen and the SB favorites on MNF LFG.

The game is more fun when everyone is standing and into it. The atmosphere in the section I was in was amazing. We all stood during play and could take breaks and sit during TV timeouts.
I do understand the frustration of people who have trouble standing physically or for kids.

Let's gooooo!! I can feel it in the air and it feels like football baby!

It looks like Beane got this one right, neither Shaq or Big Phil were worth the money. However, It is difficult to say how how either player would have done if they stayed in Buff. I liked Big Phil a lot and sometimes injuries can be just bad luck.

If they made a huge profit - then privately people would finance it and suck off the profit.
I agree with this 100%, that is why use of tax payer money can’t be considered an investment at all. It is a subsidy to the NFL owners, just calling a spade a spade.
4 hours ago, Rochesterfan said:Do libraries and museums make a profit? Nope - they suck huge amounts of public funds every year to cover costs, upgrades, projects. Roads are needed, but they bring in no money, but we spend tons of money on roads.
This is such a bad comparison. Libraries loan books to the community for free. Roads are free for the community to use. Spending money on a new stadium will simply allow the owners to charge more for tickets and make more money. The community gets no service, other than the ability to pay more (probably double the price) to attend games.
4 hours ago, Rochesterfan said:In this case it is money lost to keep an identity for the area and I am ok with that.
I agree with you on this point. The identity for the area and the identity of all of us as Bills fans is something I cherish and absolutely do not want to lose. Is it worth putting $1B of tax payer money directly in the owner’s pockets? I think that is the tough question we all have to answer.
4 hours ago, Rochesterfan said:The final piece is if we tried to ask the users to pay only and you want to understand the impact on who attends - you are looking at adding about $100 in fees a ticket or about $1000 per seat pear season to pay off the initial build and interest in 20 years. Plus as we already know - being open air - upgrades and new features will need to be added within the first 10 years and every 10 years afterwards.
So a season ticket holder of 4 seats will suddenly have to pay a new PSL, higher seat prices, and over $4000 in fees each year - so suddenly it costs a ticket holder about $12,000 or more each year and for club type seats 25 - 30,000 or more per season.
This is another really bad point. If we give tax payer money to ownership to pay for a new stadium, is there any reason they won’t charge the absolute maximum they can and still sell out the stadium? Tickets will be set at the exact same price whether or not tax payer money is used.

So (and let's assume the NFL allows community ownership of a team, which they don't, except for GB who was grandfathered-in), you have a problem with taxpayers paying $700M or so for a new stadium...but want them to spend $2.3B to buy the Bills and then another $1.4B for a new stadium? LOL!
All hypothetical, but absolutely. Would you rather spend $700M for nothing or $3B-$4B for ownership of the team and all of the profits in perpetuity? If no, I don't think I will be asking for investment advice from you. Also, community ownership would be the absolute best case scenario for the fans.

The question then is would you root for the Bills of they are not in Buffalo and I, personally, would not. Not would I have a reason to return to Buffalo and spend money so both entities would essentially be dead to me.
I would never watch an NFL game again on principle.

Why would they change the rules - the team needs a new stadium, the league wants a new stadium, the owner is working on getting a deal done and you are driving them out with a completely stupid logic.
Good God - I thought the fan base was smarter than this. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I'm just not willing to use tax money to enrich Billionaires further. If that makes me a bad fan, i'm ok with that.

That isn't an option. The NFL made it against their own rules after Green Bay. You can't do it so anything related to this line of thinking is a wish and a waste of time.
Rules can be changed

Using any tax money to pay for a stadium is an absolute joke, let alone 1B$. Why should we (the tax payers) pay $ so someone with a net worth of 5B$ can become wealthier. It boggles my mind that anyone can defend this.
I would rather use the tax money to buy the team. We could use the profits from supporting the team we all love to pay for better schools / roads/ ..... It is much more appealing to me than paying for a 2nd Pegula super yacht.
Also, we have the best (or very close to the best) atmosphere in the NFL in our current stadium with affordable ticket prices. If we get a new stadium the atmosphere may get worse as less affluent fans will be priced out (see Key Bank Center). I could live with it if the Pegulas / NFL pay for it, but it is a bit sickening to think that our tax money will go to jeopardizing one of the best atmospheres in pro sports... Ok, the atmosphere will probabaly still be great in a new stadium. Go Bills! Go Buffalo! Pegulas/ NFL, maybe dont be so greedy.

Never thought I’d say this. Sean McDermott is a stupid coach.
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Fdapats
You really think we’re converting there? I would go by the math, 71% chance of converting, if I am the coach
The whole team including the offense goes into turtle mode at end of games. I agree that a lot of times we go into turtle mode, which is a reflection of the head coaches scared (play not to lose) approach
