  1. My prediction: Dane doesn't return until December Tre doesn't return until late October Benford is back in 3-4 weeks. Gonna be a rough few weeks for the Bills secondary
  2. Lol, pretty much sums up my sentiment!
  3. As a STH I used to receive a card in the mail with my Bills Bucks credit on it. This year I didn't receive anything Coming up for the game this Monday and was going to use my credit at the store. Any other STH please let me know if you received yours this year, or if you know what's going on
  4. Score was a bit off, but was on script for what I imagined
  5. James Cook. A TD and a couple of crucial 1st down conversions that show off his athleticism and seal up the win.
  6. I have 2 tickets available in Section 134, row 44. Really good seats in the lower level along the Bills sideline on the 45 yard line. I haven't had time to see what tickets to this game are selling for on Stubhub, but I'd be willing to sell them for a bit less, plus you don't have to pay all the fees stubhub tacks on. Let me know, send me a message if interested
  7. I see the Bills pulling away in the 2nd half courtesy of a Staford turnover or 2. BILLS 41 RAMS 22
  8. I have 2 tickets available in Section 134, row 44. They are my season tickets, my brother and I will be sitting right next to you. We have 4 tickets total and are only using 2. I've been a STH since 2002 and IMHO the sight lines from my current seats are the best in the stadium. 50 yard line, lower level on Bills home side, right below the box where John Murphy and Eric Wood call the game from. Right now seats in my section are selling for $550-$600 after stubhub tacks on their absurd fees. I'd be willing to sell the pair for $890. I save you from paying the stubhub fees and you save me from paying stubhub fees. Feel free to reach out if interested. Evan

  10. 100%. To each their own, but I can't listen to him. He oozes "know it all". I do like Sneaky Joe, think he does a good job.
  11. I think Matakevich is a cut candidate. Bills media talks about him like he's a roster lock, and maybe he is, but I think the $2.5M in cap savings is being overlooked. Bills could think to themselves they have Spector for one third the price. They also have the insurance policy of Andre Smith after his 6 week suspension, who's also a lot cheaper
  12. He'd love to make 2 or 3, but I'd set the over/under @ .5 with juice on the over. I think there will be 1 trade, likely one of our OL for a late round swap of picks. We get their 5th, they get an OL and our 6th ...... type of deal.
  13. I've been making the point that the Bills save $2.5M in cap space and cash, by cutting Matakevich. It's not a ton, but it's also not nothing & Beane has talked about needing to create space. If a cheap guy like Spector shows well in preseason it may be enough to tip the scales against Matakevich.
  14. Dr. CHAO is reporting its a torn ACL......and he's dead on about 98% of the time. Not good news for Jets. How much worse is Mike White though?
  15. Thats exactly right, and sadly what I'll have to do once the PSLs cone due. It jist won't make any financial sense for me anymore. A lot of it is pride in ownership. Being a STH for 20+ yrs is in some ways a feather in the cap, but PSLs is a racket I just can't support.. I'll still be there, but a 1-2 home games and maybe a road game is probably how I'll do it once I'm no longer a STH. I'm just really eager to see how the Bills thread the needle of PSLs in Western NY. I think a lot of people will bow out once they see their new invoices. Take my 4 STs in section 134: I believe I pay $5500 for the 4 tickets per year. In the new stadium I'd predict that invoice to be closer to 8-10k, let's just say 8k yo be conservative. Add onto that a 5k per seat PSL , and they'll probably allow you to pay that off over a 5 year window. So you're looking at an 8k invoice + (20k ÷ 5 yrs) 4k = 12k per year for 5 years. I dont think it's going to go over well, I really dont.
  16. You're 100% spot on. The OP has clearly never tried selling tickets to a Bills home game after Nov. Amazing seats regularly end up selling for less than $60 on resale sites. The demand, with a great team, for late season home games is extremely soft. I know because I'm a STH who lives 7 hours away in South Jersey. I usually make it up for 2-3 games and sell the rest. I get annihilated on those late season games. I even lost money on the playoff game vs the Pats. Contrary to popular belief, most human beings despise sitting in 0-20 degree, windy games for 4 hours. Add on the Bills trying to get 2-5k in PSLs per seat, and they're going to have a disaster on their hands. I'll be the first to throw in towel on my 4 STs I've had since 2002, once the Bills come knocking for their 15-20k. I'm not plunking down that type of cash just to have the rights to continue paying my $5500 invoice each season. At some point you have to draw the line. I'll still attend a couple games, but like most I'll be shopping on StubHub and picking my spots. I've lost enough $ doing it the other way around
  17. Leave the queue. I was waiting all day. Finally when I got in 30 Mins ago it said all tickets are sold out. I planned a trip up to Rochester with my family, coming up from south Jersey, centered around attending the Aug. 1st & 2nd morning practices. Been a STH for 21 years. Have never been to training camp. WTH!?
  18. The Bills on the business side of things have been and continue to operate like a minor league team. The card I get each year with my Bills bucks, never works on their website. They rarely send me emails that they advertise they're sending to season ticket holders. Their GameDay operations are well below avg compared to other venues. There's a ton of room for inprovement.
  19. I'm a season ticket holder and can't for the life of me find where to secure tickets. I've been on the Bills App, the website and checked my email. Nothing. I need 5 tickets on August 1st and August 2nd. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. GRACIAS!
  20. Signed into my account manager and can't find where to secure training camp tickets Are you a club member?
  21. Allen and Diggs are shoe ins Poyer and Hyde likely get in toward thr back. I'd say Tre White too, bit him being injured I could see him not making it. A lot of recency bias in the top 100 and missing a month and a half doesn't help the cause. I'd predict ALLEN @ #4 DIGGS @ #21 POYER @ #76 HYDE @ #96 WHITE misses due to injury. FWIW I think Mahomes, Rodgers & Brady would be the 3 ahead of Allen
  22. Diggs Davis Shakir Crowder McKenzie Kumerow Austin
  23. Fitzpatrick just signed for north of $18M per yr & his market value on spotrac.com was around $15M per, representing a 20% premium. Poyer currently has a market value of $10.7M on spotrac & a 20% premium would come in around $12.85M per. Yes, but you cant compare a 31 yr old Poyer to a 25 yr old in Fitzpatrick say most Bills fans. Okay fair, but how about Harrison Smith. Smith signed a 4 yr - $64M deal when he was 32 years old ( a full year older than Poyer is now. He saw $26.4M of that deal guaranteed & paid out within the first 2 years. Very tough negotiation for the Bills. There are so many moving parts. Whatever Poyer gets Hyde would want almost the same thing if not a bit more come next season. I dont think Beane will want to go north of a 2 year - 26.5M extension. Id expect that to be the magic #, although it wouldnt surprise me to find out Rosenhaus is asking for $16M per, in which I dont think youll see a deal worked out
  24. The biggest weakness on the Bills is Tremaine Edmunds. His weaknesses coming into his rookie year, continue to be his weaknesses as he enters his 5th season. He lacks the ability to diagnose plays fast, takes terrible pursuit angles, gets swallowed up by blocks and is easily fooled by misdirection anf play action. Hes also an awful blitzer ("coincidentally" one of Bernards strengths) The better QBs we faced last year, mainly Brady and Mahomes singled out Edmunds in pass coverage and continually picked on him. If you watch the Bucs game winning TD pass in OT on the shallow drag by Perriman, key in on Edmunds movements. He has the correct leverage on Perriman and then he runs toward him instead of with him and gives up that entire side of the field. Once Perriman catches the ball, Edmunds has a low, but still slight chance to dive at Perrimans ankles to trip him up, yet he never even attempts to. I know Edmunds is a polarizing player amongst the fan base, but when you see the better teams continually pick on him it tells you something. I think the Bernard pick has a lot to do with how the Bills internally view Edmunds. They know they need better LB play, and I think Bernard might get a lot more reps than most expect, especially as the season progresses.
