    I saw the same things, so just curious.   I wonder if it’s all the same smoke screens come draft time, or again, people heard that Beane basically made a phone call to check in.  


    I’ll give you that 

     

    The Jets were likely not going to help us out. Neither Miami. Teams have to want to trade a player for there to be as trade. Didn't Olave stay put?

    McD strategy blunders

    No and no. Not a McD “hater” here.. I recognize he brings a lot of positives to the team as a HC. But time after time his game strategy decisions are terrible, especially in the biggest games. In previous posts I have advocated for a strategy coach, an advisor who sits in the booth, away from the chaos of the sidelines, and is able, based primarily on solid analytics, to present options and recommendations. Take a look at the Bills sidelines during a game. McD clapping, totally engrossed in each play, now calling defenses etc etc. Like every NFL sideline - chaos. The WORST possible environment to make strategic decisions. Every NFL coach could use a strategy coach.BTW, Vrabel in New England employs one.

     

         And he is not getting better at this. Last year, year 7 as HC, he made what ESPN’s Mike Greenberg called “probably not the worst decision we will see this year, but certainly the dumbest” by throwing choosing to throw 3 times at games end from his own one yard line, which handed Houston a win. McD then went on the to make the WORST decision of the year, calling a timeout with less than a minute to go with the Bills at the Rams one yard line. Brady, who was calling the game, reacted immediately, calling out what a horrible decision that was, as it left the Bills no chance to win, other than recovering an onside kick. And of course McD has a history of bad decisions - 13 seconds etc etc

     

    Sunday McD strikes again. A strategy coach would have strongly advised against kicking that last field goal. A punt, a punt angled out of bounds ( to prevent any possible return) was the correct strategic decision. It’s virtually impossible for a team drive the ball down the field, 80 + yards, in 22 seconds with zero timeouts. It’s even unlikely a team could even get in position to throw a Hail Mary under those circumstances. Recall the 13 seconds game KC had all three timeouts and only needed a FG. Instead McD blunders again, and Mahomes second last pass was way too close to tying that game. These games are won on the margins, especially playoff games, and his strategic blunders have cost the Bills playoff losses in the past, and I don’t see any improvement in this area.Hire a strategy coach, not to make the final decision but to present best options away from the chaos that is an NFL sideline

    The lack of cap space is entirely on Beane's watch, so you can't exactly give him a pass there. Knox is taking up $14.5mil to block, Samuel is taking $9mil to sit, Bass is taking a cool $4.6mil to watch his replacement be just as effective for 1/5 of the price... Oh and then there's Von's $15mil of dead waste. 

     

    And all teams have some albatross on the books, for sure. But all of those contracts were a bit sus at the time they happened, and then aged like vinegar since then. 

     

    I don't blame Beane for not making a move today, but there's plenty to criticize in the last few off seasons that got us here. 

     

    You can't have it both ways. Sign everyone right up to the cap, then complain there's no cap.

    True - but look at what happened right after Hoecht went out. Our D was back giving us heart attacks. They said it on the broadcast - Hoecht was the doubled man, his loss was significant. This is a massive loss. beane will make a move because now we know what it could be.....

     

    Unless whatever is out there isn't going to replace Hoecht.

    Losing to Akron a 2-6 team shows how weak the Bulls really are.  By blitzing the UB clown at QB he couldn't complete long passes which are his specialty.  Four (4) interceptions tell the story.  Good Bye Bowl week!!!

     

    So the MAC being the MAC, UB goes to Bowling Green and gives them a beat down 28-3. 🤷‍♂️

     

    But in the process LB Red Murdoch broke the NCAA record for career forced fumbles held by..... Khalil Mack!

    I guess I'm a barbarian for preferring hockey and football, but baseball is a sport with beautiful rhythms that come from the long season with many plot twists. This was easily one of the most memorable World Series that I can recall. 

     

    Baseball is only exciting in the playoffs. For me anyway.

    I was told that those sections are unique as they have special access to the concourse areas just behind them. You’ll notice the black shadowed slit at the rear of those seats.

    Does anyone know…what are the sections supposed to be that appear to be walled off from the surrounding seats(the two far lower level corners in pic)?

     

    That is called the "Charge Club" and it's another premium seating section. I considered it. The PSL was reasonable but tickets were like $350/game.

     

    Instead I'm in the section (124) that hangs just over it, top row. I'm covered by the balcony and hope to feel some of that heated concourse right behind me. (I wanted a dome so here's hoping I get a dome-ish environment during cold night games.)

    I got my PSL back in December of last year. I wish I would’ve waited. The problem with VR is you actually don’t get to see the logistics of the stadium. I am currently in 108 and choose to sit on the opposing sideline because it’s the sunny side. I went to the stadium yesterday for a tour (work related) found my seat and it’s in the shade and will always be. BTW I’m envious of the upper deck now because the view is spectacular. Unfortunately I can’t post pictures because it says the file is too large.

    Boomer here. 

    No idea who he is.  But, I don't often watch 'stories', so I'm out of touch with current actors.  

    Nice to know there are some nationally recognized figures on board with our Bills. Tim Russert was a big loss.

    Go Bills!

     

    That's a testament to how skilled he is. He seamlessly blends in. He's like Reggie Gilliam on the Bills. In every play but you rarely hear his name.
