Never knew that!

As a transplanted UNC fan, it was really disheartening to me when the hiring was announced. I believe his success in the NFL was due more to other "factors" than just 'genius'. I saw it as nothing more than a money grab and a way for him to reinflate his ego and try to stay relevant after the NFL closed its doors to him. He doesn't give a sh!t about the school, and I fully expect him to bolt sooner than later if/when things continue to go bad - taking his bag and leaving UNC holding the bag - (or D-bag, if Steve Belichick becomes coach 🤮)

That is interesting - I've wondered about that if they had done any engineering to account for it, first I've seen it mentioned also. Would be cool if true. I have to kind of laugh at language like "Conceptually, the design centers around strength and resilience, adopting Buffalo’s historic architecture and transforming it into a robust and bold form" - I've seen that language about adopting Buffalo's architecture in other PR videos/articles, when in terms of general design it was basically lifted from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and I've wondered what architectural elements they are actually talking about. There is something later that says "The lower exterior, crafted with iron-spot brick, connects with the city’s architectural past and provides a solid base from which the modern form rises" so I guess that's something. Still think they should have incorporated Labbatt Blue silos There is another note "The key goal of the new stadium was to make it a multipurpose venue, the gathering plaza, the Family Circle north entrance, and areas where the Buffalo Bills host games and communities celebrate festivals and events, and to ensure the stadium becomes a focal point for visitors from across the country, symbolizing unity and belonging". I've wondered if they might open it up to weddings in the offseason - think that would prob sell out

Pretty cool can see how the outer panels create a pattern - aren't just all flat

Pj-sOM.mp4 Let's hope they are indeed massive

"Patriot Way" was also a culture of pervasive and systemic cheating, unprecedented favor from officials, and benefits of playing in a craptastic division for over a decade. Maybe Vrabel can recapture some of that "culture" with POS human and known repeat offender cheater McDaneils by his side and of course POS human owner. Regardless - he is the very definition of a meathead - can't wait for him to fail. The one good thing is the Patriots were so bad and irrelevant and pathetic it was getting hard for me to even feel that old hatred. At least now there is a new fire to the hate. F meathead Vrabel and F the F'ing Pats***

Josh understands he needs to protect and take care of his body.. He said this offseason is the best he's ever felt physically from the previous season. Everybody eats feeds into that in that he can have confidence to distribute it to anyone on the field without taking a hit or going superman

The iconic Collins->Thomas connection

Speaking of concussions, one thing I haven't seen a lot of discussion on is Grable was put in concussion protocol early August and then was put on IR to start the season. That's a long time for a concussion to clear - and Grable had the inside track to be our swing tackle to start the season

Have to say my mind went in a different direction here 😛

I mean not to defend Jones, but the whole "Why didn't you do it in March!!!????!?" thing is bc they weren't looking to trade him then and thought they could eventually sign him

So Buffalo airport is a layover for Dallas-> GB flight?

I agree with everything you are saying. It's hard though to watch the Beyond the Blue and Red videos and not wish they had incorporated more of some of the amazing personal stories available to them vs their over-reliance on the fringe player will-he-or -won't-he narratives. Give me just a few minutes of Ray Davis amazing story over Zach Davidson riding his bike any day

I actually thought there's be more stuff showing the bonding off the field - Catan battles at TC etc - but I think the team has told them to turn the cameras off after a certain time. I did love at McGovern's pizza party his wife was frustrated "he's back for one day and Josh is already texting everyone to come over to his house" 😆

I was watching the Ray Davis one after this one- somehow I had missed it. I knew part of his story but the Davis one is amazing, and I was thinking similarly if Hard Knocks had just tapped into like 10% of emotion/story of this video it would have been so much better
