I watched some of last nights game in STL. I thought it was pretty good football
How large was the crowd? They draw the best numbers in St. Louis.
So Taco Charlton is playing in the UFL. 🤔

If the UFL has helped one person it’s Jake Bates. What a leg! Just nailed a 62 yarder with ease.
Now a 52 yd chip shot.

Wade Phillips does it again. His Brahmas outscore Memphis 20-3 in the 4th, including scoring 2 TDs (12pts) in the final :48 seconds to win 20-19 and improve to 2-0.

Long snapper.. You read it here first.

i keep seeing 62-63,000 seats with an additional 5,000 SRO (standing room only area)
i can't get confirmation on if all 63k seats will be STH ?.....it's on my list of questions when i go thru the "experience"...i'll get back to you late next year..lol
I thought seating was closer to just 60K.

for 2023 there were just under 64,000 season tickets. the capacity is just over 70,000. they deliberately hold back some for individual sale.
i dont think the new stadium will be 100% season ticket (i could be wrong)
My understanding is every seat will be a season ticket. But the new stadium will have expanded stranding room for individual sale.

kind of.....but if viewed from the position the texans only want a 1 yr rental. you're getting a highly motivated and happy diggs playing for his next contract. (of course he could become unhappy not getting enough targets.....one can hope....lol)
the dumb part for me is that they gave up a very early 2nd round Minnesota draft pick for that 1 yr rental..... that's steep
Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled the Texans did this for the Bills. But wow, did they bend over for their new prize WR. I hope he's worth it. One thing about divas, the more you give in to them, the more they will demand because they see you're afraid to say no.

Is he though?
I bet Doug Whaley would have been better with Josh.
Whaley built the team that broke the drought. Without Josh.
Polian at least made Superbowls.
He did what? McDermott did that. Whaley was kept around because he had all the scouting for the upcoming draft. You don't get rid of any GM before a draft.

Once you live outside of WNY you realize just how small the Buffalo area really is. Be glad you have two major sports franchises. Theres no way it could support a Major League Baseball team. No way.
Buffalo definitely punches above its weight with NFL and NHL teams, and even an NLL lacrosse team. For an official metro population of 1.2 million (1.7 mil maybe if you add the Canadian population near the border) it's unheard of. Then add in the lack of major corporations to buy suites.

Von miller contract
Dawson Knox contract
Stephen diggs contract
Defense line draft picks that never pan out
Defense tackle signings that are not good enough
No reliable pass rusher
Wyatt Teller give away
Edmunds
Star contract
Just curious why he is so highly regarded when these issues have come to roost fully
He gets a "pass" because he's the best Bills GM since 90's Bill Polian.

The fact that he drafted several players that did not become all pros just ruins it for me.

This has to be the dumbest reason, if true, for the Texans voiding Diggs final 3 contract years, saying...
"They want the best possible version of Diggs. They want none of the little things the Bills tolerated until it became one big thing."
So they are basically saying Diggs is a diva and they don't want to upset "his highness." Good luck.

Might have had a MLB team also if the place was ever built
True. We were in line for the expansion team that became the Expos if we had a stadium. This was to be multipurpose.

I've seen people falling over rows of seats in the clubs because they were totally blotto.

No but he does make the receiving group much better than it was before. Honestly I hope he excels.
I don't because of the way he carried himself these last two years, the cryptic nonsense. The Texans better stay on his good side.

Well...that's interesting.
The Bills pursued him when he was a college FA in 2015. Chose Dallas. But they all end up here eventually.

Litigation of any kind should never take 19 years to complete. There’s just too much BS baked into the system and only available to very deep pocketed adversaries.
The thing is Buffalo was that close to creating a "Patriot Place" decades before the idea ever dawned on Robert Kraft. This was supposed to include a hotel and retail development. Who knows what the team's fortunes would have been playing in a dome since 1972? It would have been that much closer to Rochester as well.

"40 years ago this week:
One of the lengthiest trials in the history of Western New York was underway in New York State Supreme Court.
It involved the proposed dome stadium in Lancaster which was supposed to serve as a new home for the Buffalo Bills.
In 1969, Erie County agreed in principle with developer Edward Cottrell to build the indoor, multi use stadium along with a theme park and hotel complex on land bounded by Genesee St., Harris Hill Rd., Walden Ave., and Story Rd.
However, as cost estimates for the project rose, the county shifted gears and decided on an open air stadium in Orchard Park for about one-third of the cost of the dome stadium complex.
Cottrell sued for breach of contract, seeking more than $400 million in damages,. and setting off a near two decade long legal battle.
After it took 14 years for the case to get to trial, the trial itself lasted 42 weeks and concluded with Cottrell being awarded $53 million. However, after another five years of appeals, the county finally paid Cottrell $10 million, concluding the case after 19 years."
What could have been.

Pretty sure if we traded Diggs after June 1st we could’ve split that $31m dead cap between 2024 and 2025.
Assuming a team would wait to make that trade. How easy do you think it is trading a massive salary? The Texans might have gotten a rookie WR in the draft and said "never mind." The NFL is not obligated to do things when it suits you.

What does it tell you that they could only get a 2025 second-round pick for the guy? Hey, the man was great when he was productive.
Lastly, let's not forget what Beane stepped into when he took the Buffalo GM job way back when and he needed to clean house.
Trust the Beane!
It's called making deals from a disadvantage.

If I recall all this correctly; his contract before they gave him an extension in 2022 would have expired after last season. No dead cap, just a mutual parting of ways. I remember thinking that the extension didn't seem necessary, he was already under contract for that season and the next. The new contract saved them $6 million in cap space that year.
Now they trade him for a future pick and take the biggest one year dead cap hit for a WR in the history of the league. $31 million of your cap gone for no player at all. In all likelihood throw away your chances for an entire year for absolutely nothing. He was already under contract through last season.
That's some real brilliant chess
Wasn't that extension more for creating cap space? It's also pretty disingenuous to call a lack of ESP being a bad GM.
