  1. Not just a single season, but consistency over multiple seasons, the French Connection had a very nice run ...

    I hate to say it, but I don't feel that they want guys like me as consumers anymore. I don't tune in for theatrics, politics, or the type of pop music that litters this "spectacle."

     

    And then, we finally get to the true reason that those who are their loyal, week-in and week-out customers tune in, and then they have systems in place which allow for 1 of 7 underpaid, part-time officials to ruin our primary focus. They take the game and turn it into a mockery.

     

    All of this thrown together, and it gives me the feeling I have better ways to waste my Sunday afternoons. Goodell & the NFL are ruining something I've loved since childhood.

     

    And I even wanted (ever so slightly) for the Chiefs to win.

    Is there another nation on the planet that permits and promotes a special national anthem for one race?  How horribly divisive at a time when we all need to stand together ("United We Stand, Divided We Fall").  I miss marching bands and youth punt, pass & kick competitions at halftime.  The NFL is committing suicide with this nonsense.  And so true, the referees have ruined far too many big games.  The league has become a joke.

    So then why trade a guy on a cheap contract who won't give you much in return?  Who are you going to replace him with that will still give you 48 catches and 836 yards for similar money?  Or even a little higher money. 

     

    Replacing him still isn't going to solve the Bills problem as right now they need a 3rd WR.  Now you're getting rid of their #2.  Maybe he should be a #3, but either way, you've now opened up another roster spot and saved very little if any money in doing so.

    The return doesn't really matter.  He's not helping this team now and that's all that matters.  If there is no return to be had, then release him.

    My comparison is pretty straightforward. Josh is less consistent, but more spectacular.

    How would you compare the two?
     

    My comparison is straight-forward, too ... Brady has 10 SB appearances (winning 7 of them) and Allen has zero SB appearances.  Until Allen accomplishes something other than great stats, that's all the comparison that is needed.

  5. The Bills are on the outside looking in, imo.  Getting defeated is one thing, but not showing up and then GIVING UP after an early 14-point deficit is unacceptable.  Now, we cannot trust the team to at even COMPETE in these big games, let alone win one, and THAT is a big problem.  Unless there is some sort of significant shake-up in coaching I don't see Bills even winning the division next season.  Sorry, just how I see it.  I hope I'm wrong.

    You'd be starting completely over defensively with that hire. Everyone complaining about wasting Josh's window - you're talking a 2-3 year transition from a personnel standpoint with a move like that.

    In today's NFL there is no longer 2-3 year transition period.  Coordinators barely stay with one team for 3 years any longer.

    They’ll get over it.  It’s not like Josh was intentionally ignoring Stefon.  I don’t think he had enough time to even think and throw effectively with his offensive line and the plays called.

    Not so sure about the "They'll get over it" remark.  This has been ongoing for much of the season.  He no longer seems to think that Josh is "his guy".  Diggs wants to win a championship now.  Once Diggs has some time to reflect on the season and his time in Buffalo, I think he'll feel the same way he does now.  I can see Diggs requesting a trade.

    Not saying this is the cause of the issue being discussed here, but I vaguely recall hearing that Highmark's infrastructure limits the technology that can be applied to broadcasting games from there.  Something about limited space for cabling runs out to the trucks.  Anyone else recall this?

     

    I looked and did not find yet, but I did find this very interesting link with some good details about what is planned to be in place for the new stadium, in general, as well as specifically in regards to media facilities (for those who may understand all this stuff) ...

     

    https://esd.ny.gov/sites/default/files/news-articles/ESD-Bills-Stadium-Analysis-Summary-FINAL-11-1-21.pdf

       (from Nov 1, 2021 ... Preliminary Buffalo Bills Stadium Analysis, Empire State Development)

     

    What follows below in italics is an excerpt from the "Broadcast Facilities" section, found inside "Category Four: Media Facilities" heading at the above link provided ...

     

    Broadcast Facilities


    Broadcast facilities include spaces for remote game operations controls (scoreboards, video, etc.) as well
    as spaces, which would allow for in-house video production. Broadcast Facilities include the following
    spaces: Courtside Broadcast cabling, Head End/MATV/Broadcast Cable (cabling termination racks/room
    at truck location), possible ENG Room cabling, (Electronic news gathering), Scoreboard/AV Control
    Room (includes Scoreboard/Video and Tape library storage) and Interview Room (refer to Press
    multipurpose space). These facilities should have their own HVAC system to maintain adequate cooling
    and humidity control on a 24-hour basis.

     

    The ENG and MATV Rooms will contain equipment and control operations and should be completely
    cross connected via cable tray systems, etc. to TV truck locations, Scoreboard/ Audio Control room and
    TV facilities in the bowl. These rooms should be highly sound isolated and ideally have raised computer
    floor for maximum cabling flexibility.

     

    It is recommended that the ENG cabling termination and MATV headend equipment be in separate rooms
    if possible.

     

    Head End/The Broadcast Cabling ENG Termination Racks/Room is to be located near the TV truck
    parking spaces. Essentially, this area will function as a large "junction box". TV truck power will be
    located on the exterior wall of this room. Upon University resolution of location, function and size of any
    in-arena video scoreboard display production system, coordination between space and adjacencies for
    the video production, TV truck and ENG cabling and MATV headend rooms must be finalized.

     

    The ENG Cabling Room is equivalent in function to the Broadcast Cabling area with the exception that it
    services local radio and TV station cabling and equipment. As parking for these vehicles is not at the
    truck dock, it is not essential that this room be adjacent to the dock, however it should be easy for
    broadcasters to access. Cable tie-lines and pathways should be provided between the TV trucks, ENG
    room and Scoreboard Video control rooms.

    I just hope they upgrade the Director. It’s extremely frustrating trying to follow the game when the director refuses to show you where the ball is placed. Instead we’re forced to see meaningless shots of a coach chewing his gum vaping, or a player sitting in the bench, or a fan yelling at his seat mates, or the always classic shot of some officials butt while we try for some artsy sideline shot through a hundred legs, or any number of things other than the actual field! And ALL of those alternate angles are shown in the span of ten seconds, between every play! 

    ... fixed it!  😅

    He needs to fix the mistakes and not press. The deep pick and the handoff to Cook that josh should have kept were big mistakes. Tbh, he needs to relearn how to take checkdowns. It ok to take 5 yards a pop. That will open up the intermediate and deep game and negate the blitz

    I would give it about one half of football with Josh throwing checkdowns for this fan base to give Allen the moniker of "Captain Checkdown".  Can't win.
