How they extrapolate "majority of NY voters" from a poll sample size of 812 is a bit of a stretch. The poll operator is clearly a Jets fan

TSW Mock Draft Buffalo Bills Poll - Who should the Bills take at 25?
Lost replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I take Dax Hill and move him to corner. When he bulks up a little I transition him back to safety if/when Poyer/Hyde move on. He's an absolute ball hawk and freak athlete. I like his instinctiveness compared to McDufie. Also faster and more range. -
Can't please everybody...especially those in Seattle. Bills stadium is infrastructure...which is something both political parties generally agree on spending money on. Infrastructure = jobs and revenue for surrounding areas. Nobody would bat an eye if NY state quietly spent 800 million to build a new state of the art library or bus terminal. I'm typically and advocate for lower taxes because I really don't trust the government to spend my money in an efficient manner but as long as it's being spent, I'd rather it be used for something tangible, that has lasting returns.

NFL Teams mandated to hire minority coach as offensive assistant
Lost replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
There probably is some biased or racist individuals rooted in the league somewhere, I mean we did see a lot of dirty stuff come out of in the past year but by and large I would say no. If you think forcing a racist owner to hire a minority candidate as head coach is going to cure him of being racist and lead to a blossoming relationship with his new head coach it wont. It's just going to make things worse. Perhaps the best solution would just be to have organizations just publicly disclose how many applicants they had for coaching positions and the racial makeup of the applicants and if the figures show they are displaying an obvious bias in their hiring practices they can face the public backlash which often leads to them either committing to changing their ways or resigning. At the end of the day, the most qualified candidate should get the position. In your hypothetical of two equally qualified candidates(one minority and one not) you can't really call it racial bias if the team hires the white person, it coulda came down to the GM just simply liking his personality better. When you look at the staffing of the team as a whole though, if a teams total coaching staff is 90% white and yet 50% of the applicants seeking position in the organization are minority then that would be a probable sign of bias happening. -
NFL Teams mandated to hire minority coach as offensive assistant
Lost replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't know the actual numbers of minority applicants to the amount of positions hired so I can't really comment if there is some actual bias happening. I honestly don't know what the best solution is if that were actually the case either. It doesn't seem like being a decent human being and raising your kids to be decent human beings should be too difficult a thing to ask in our society. -
NFL Teams mandated to hire minority coach as offensive assistant
Lost replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Unpopular opinion - Equity is racism. I support minority candidates getting more coaching positions but I don't like the idea of mandating such things as it could create an eventual artificial disparity amongst coaching staff in the league. I don't know the numbers here but what if only 5% of the potential applicants seeking coaching positions are minority in some instances? What if a team has no minority candidates currently seeking a position within their organization? In a few years we're could be looking at a situation where minority coaches are 40-50% of all coaching staff when maybe 10-15% of individuals seeking coaching positions are minority. I think its a better representation of the league and society in general to have the number of minority coaches actually representative of the percentage who are seeking position vs. a forced arbitrary number. if 60% of of applicants are minority then it makes much more sense for the coaching staff makeup to also be around 60% okay, flame away- 88 replies

Regarding your thoughts. This was mentioned by PSE executive Ron Raccuia when asked by Chris Brown "We're going to build the best football stadium we possibly can for the Buffalo Bills and our fans. It will be state of the art and will have a great deal of modern amenities that we currently lack at Highmark Stadium. We do, however, want to maintain the intimacy, great sight lines and the amazing home field advantage and energy we currently have at Highmark Stadium. It will be a football specific stadium and we want to take advantage of all of the modern amenities, comfort, and technology available to us as we develop our plan with the architects."

Can someone explain PSLs to me? Is it just season tickets or something else? What's the difference?

Looming Stefon Diggs Contract situation - What do you do?
Lost replied to CountDorkula's topic in The Stadium Wall
I love everything about Diggs, his skill set, his relationship with JA and the team but this is probably the correct take. I'd be open to the possibility of resigning him for close to the 20 mil range(which i doubt he would go for) if the Bills don't resign Edmunds. I dont think we can afford both players next year nor do I think its good to have 80% of your cap tied up in a handful of players -
Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]
Lost replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Chiefs got the ultimate return on investment with Tyreek Hill. Himself being drafted in the 5th round, 165th overall pick has helped carry the Chiefs to 6 Division titles, 2 Conference championships, a Super Bowl win and now being converted to 5 draft picks. Unbelievable value. I can only hope the Bills strike gold that deep in the draft one of these years. -
wtf... I would be swatting air

Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]

How is Miami's Oline? Hope with Von on our team we have enough pressure to neutralize at WR duo like that. -
Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]

Think every team is expecting the big salary cap balloon in the next couple years and paying in advance. Pretty wise actually. -
Do they ask him not to shed blockers on run plays?

Friday Fuel-Up with Dr. Mike Roussell-Guest Josh Allen
Lost replied to Warcodered's topic in The Stadium Wall
Absolutely. Hope he does start being more aware of his diet. Don't want to see another sad Jamarcus Russel story. I know Josh has 10x the work ethic Jamarcus had but still...vices can sometimes catch up to you unexpectedly. -
Also was Beane implying in the presser that they may have resigned Levi had there never been a tentative agreement for McKissic?
-
Do you think his cryptic tweet is in reference to Deshaun Watson trade or Brandon Beane saying getting him a new contract isn't a priority? I love Diggs and hope he does get paid but I would hate to start having WR drama at OBD.

Breaking: Von Miller to bills, 6 year , 120 million
Lost replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall
We're paying Tremaine Edmunds 12.7 million per year to contribute almost nothing thus far. for a mere 4.9 million more we're adding one of the all time greats and someone who's going to help develop our younger talent. If Tremaine doesn't have his breakout 5th year we can finally cut ties and recoup some of that Miller money. If Tremaine does breakout this year then our D just got that much more frightening. Win/Win -
Breaking: Von Miller to bills, 6 year , 120 million

This deal is basically the same payout as Chandler Jones got from the Raiders...so everything seems on par as long as we have an out after 3 yrs. -

6 years?? Hope he's still worth 20 mil/year at age 35.
