    I didn't read all the comments but was able to go to YouTube.com/paid_memberships and cancel for this upcoming season. I hope the price comes down some. $489 with RedZone channel!!

    I had the standalone without YTTV and was able to do the same. 
     

    I’m hoping the same but not expecting price to drop.  It’s not like the directv days where I could call and get it free almost every single year 😔

    PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion

    The County Executive expressed his disappointment to the Bills and Legends representatives last week during a tour of the new Stadium Experience, regarding their failure to publicly release the PSL prices. For the record, the county has not been provided any prices/costs regarding the PSLs because we are not a party to the PSL agreement, as the county is out of the football business once the new stadium opens up. We are discussing the matter with the state at this time.

    I think they would only face the wrath if each team scored scored equally on their first drive….0, 3 or 7, then the receiving team scored.  If the receiving team scored then the kicking team failed, no real fallout for the coach.

    Yes, that’s exactly the point being made by the poster I quoted and agreed with.

    The one reason - if it goes to a third possession, it's sudden death and if you score you win.

     

    That's the only reason why I can think you'd do it.

    Yep exactly, I posted this in the game thread. I’m not saying there isn’t a case for receiving but totally understand why you take the ball. Technically it’s the correct choice. The first coach that kicks and then loses in this scenario will get reamed for not choosing to receive the kick.

    In OT (in the playoff) the 100% best decision is to kick it. Either you stop the Offense and next score wins or the Offense scores and you have 4 downs and a chance to win the game on a 2 point play.

    Unless both teams score and it’s still tied. Then next score wins, and taking the ball is the right call.

    I guess Tyler Dunne was spot on...McD is too controlling and paranoid to work with...

    It's really a shame that so many people can't understand or appreciate all of the luck that is involved for a team to reach the Super Bowl.  KC is on an extraordinary heater right now with Mahomes, just like NE*** was with Brady -- but look at how one or two plays here or there could have changed the story.  Those are two really great teams, with great QBs, who also got extremely lucky at all the right times.

     

    That's not coaching.

     

    After the Denver loss this season I was ready to move on from McDermott but the changes he made showed me that he does "get it" and is driven to lead the Bills to the Super Bowl.  Every coach has situations he looks back upon and wonders if he made the right call.  Sean has made more right calls than wrong ones, and putting up a JV squad defense against Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce was a losing proposition to begin with.  Even so, the gameplan McD implemented/oversaw had the Bills in position at the end of the game.  Luck wasn't with us.

     

    We will get there.  All you can reasonably ask as a fan is to have a team that is in the conversation every year.  We have that.  If your expectation is Super Bowl or bust simply because we have Josh Allen, I don't know what to tell you other than you're going to spend a lot of your time disappointed.

     

    Thank you. Agree with pretty much everything you said. The playoff  game against the Chiefs was two great teams going toe to toe, with a couple of plays (and a depleted defense) making the difference. 
    I will say there have been some coaching missteps in the past and early this season but it was masterful down the stretch and even in that last game. We probably had no business being where we were with all the injuries but competed til the end. There is for sure an element of coaching that goes into that (as well as player leadership). 

     

    The more removed I get from the disappointment of the loss, the more I can appreciate what a successful season it really was. We can only hope we get over the hump and win one but I’m going to enjoy the ride of having a superstar qb and a perennial playoff team as long as it lasts.

    Anyone wish we were down by 4 at the end?

    In coaching there to win

     

    2nd and 9 I just missed

     

    3rd down I want half -at least !!!

     

    go for it on 4th

     

    my defense couldn’t stop anything

     

    my kicker has minimal confidence right now

     

    i know my team A my qb has been incredible all game and can will his way for 9 yards for a fresh set of downs if he wanted to.

     

     

    thats my idea there

    Yes, that’s the mindset needed.  Mcd already knew the defense wouldn’t hold based on him faking the punt earlier.  But the question is would he have gone for it on 4th and 3 or 4 in this situation when you can kick for the tie. I still think he kicks.

    The psychology of being down by 3 vs 4 late in a game is so ingrained in football (coaches and players).  

     

    Down by 3  - you feel like you can 'play it safe' and still kick the field goal to tie.  You're less aggressive.  Extend the game and take your chances - even thought the other team still can come back and win with a field goal.

     

    Down by 4 - full desperation and you're gonna do everything you can to score a TD, including going for it on 4th down.  

     

    When the Bills were on that last drive, i knew we had to score a TD there.  So I had no problem with Josh looking for Shakir in the end zone.  Split second sooner before he gets bumped on the throw, and that's a TD.  He was thinking TD but coaches were playing not to lose.  I had no faith in Bass and even if he made it, Mahomes against our depleted defense at the end or in OT, forget it.  It would've been just as heartbreaking.

    I'm talking about the last 2nd down throw to Shakir all the Monday morning QBs are clamoring for a throw to Diggs instead because the CBS broadcast made it look like he was wide open two yards downfield. The defense gave the Bills a wide open receiver in the end zone and the correct decision was to take it! Chris Jones made a great play to walk Dawkins into Allen and ruined it.

    Exactly.  If Josh would've just climbed the pocket 2 steps and let it rip, we're talking about possibly the game winning touchdown.  The throw to Shakir is absolutely the right read.

    To match the facilities that are in place in Orchard Park. There's a lot that went into those.


    Although inconvenient. there was the option of having the training facilities separate from the stadium. I believe there are a few other teams that do this.

     

    But at the end of the day, that’s my point as to why the site studies were a sham. The Pegulas always wanted the stadium at the current site with the existing facilities.
