Note the announcement says only boneless wings (aka tenders) will be sold to the regular folks. Bone-in wings will only be sold in the clubs. Obviously the mess caused by folks throwing chicken bones around RWS is a concern.
PTR
Just the thought of angry Bills fans throwing already chewed chicken bones at opposing players and refs is hilarious.

I badly wanted the Bills to draft Mallett when he was available. It wasn't meant to be. Now i'd still want him if EJ weren't here but if the Bills have their minds set on EJ being "the guy" then no use bringing Mallett in. He will go somewhere and be a solid starting QB imo. I think the Pats will lose out in the long run if Mallett leaves them.

Yeah it's a lock they will make more money on New England and Green Bay, and they will have to cut prices for Minny and San Diego. I think it's a good strategy to sell out games here. Now they won't piss off season ticket holders by holding fire sales on late season ticket inventory.
Still the cheapest NFL season tickets you can find anywhere and I'm happy to pay for them and the extra home game.
-
BTW- apparently Mel Kiper just said today that Mack was in the discussion as the #1 overall pick. This comes on the heals of Mayock saying the same thing. It will be a pretty huge upset if he lasts past the top 5, let alone #9.
-
Makes sense since Andre Reed and Strahan are getting inducted. Lot's O Bills and Giants fans will be in town. Enjoy it Bills fans. Probably the last HOF game the Bills will be involved in for a couple decades.
-
If he were to fall to #9, I would take Mack in a heartbeat. It's not even a question that he will be a productive NFL player..it's just a matter if he will be "great"? or very good?
In some ridiculous logic, I kinda' hope he gets drafted before the Bills pick. That way there's no chance of the Bills passing on Mack (which would impact my fandom of the Bills organization very negatively).
-
As a comparison, i also own season tickets for another NFL team and i got that renewal notice on Feb. 4th, and already paid for them. Clearly something is going on since I would normally have the Bills invoice well before now. I'm hoping this Toronto series has been shelved. It's been a failure from every aspect you can measure (except that payment to the Buffalo Bills).
-
Mosley and Shazier both skipped the 1st run. I was hoping to see how they compared.
-
Mack getting a ton of praise from all the NFL network guys. Anyone know what his broad and vertical were? i think the LB's run in a few mins.
Got my own answer.. Mack was 10'8" and 40". impressive.
-
overdorf/littman are the 2 i have been suspecting of real being behind a lot of the disastrous last 14 years. they are the main consistent factor. i mean how can the GM not be in charge of contract negotiations?
I support Marrone and Whaley in all of this. Obviously what the organizations has done in the past hasn't worked. If they want new and modern methods in place then there's a reason. As for Overdorf, I knew him in the past and he can be an arrogant prick sometimes. Doesn't surprise me if he's rubbing the "new guys" the wrong way over there.
-
I think Mack will be legit in the NFL. You can't avoid LB's in the NFL like you can in college. He will cause havoc rushing the QB and stripping guys from behind, and getting plenty of tackles in between. I'd take Mack if he's there...or a big WR.
-
That cool. I think Trevor Scott played with the Bucs this year too, another UB guy. Mike Williams (a Buffalo guy) is already there and Khalil Mack is shown going to the Bucs in a bunch of mock drafts. Buffalo south.!
-
I'd rather take Mack if he's available over Barr or Mosely. That being said, this team has more of an urgent need to fix the offense. I can see Jim Schwartz advising Marrone..."dude, you really need a megatron type WR on this club".. anyway, I think they go big WR with that first pick.
-
The media and fans make a big deal out of Sherman talking so much and detracting from his teammates. So then Marshawn Lynch refuses to talk much and the media gets all torqued up over that too, Ha. Just stop and let people be people. Unless someone is getting physically or mentally beaten down, who cares?!?
-
Cleveland really poached our coaching staff. Classy of the Bills to not block anything and for Marrone for helping to "prep" Pettine for his interview.
-
I wonder if this means that Schwartz won't be bringing a lot of his own guys.
Schwartz has been around long enough that he must have a network of guys he can bring onboard if need be. I'm sure there are plenty of decent LB coaches out there that he can fill the opening with.
-
You bet the players love it. Who wouldn't want an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii for your whole family? I give the league credit for trying to make changes, and the players credit for playing hard last night. They obviously don't want this nice reward to be taken off the table. The D players were definitely hitting. The QB's were not wearing a red practice jerseys, they were hit too. Next year they should have Team Kelly vs Team Marino.
-
Progress to me is the fact another team took one of our coordinators and made him head coach. More progress is that we got an ex-head coach and experienced D-coord to replace him. I like the hire. Not a Schwartz fan as a head coach but like Greggo, being the head D-coach may be his best position.
-
theres a balance to be had. coaches realize that the team has an interest to protect. just like FORCING everyone to stay would be frowned upon by some, rolling over and giving carte blanch to a guy leaving after 1 year to take his full staff could be seen as not supporting your head coach.
You have to bank on the fact that Marrone hired those assistant coaches and they will be loyal to Marrone, not Pettine. It's very rare that a new first time head coach would be able to take an entire defensive staff with him. It's not like the Bills are in turmoil or just let their head coach go. They have some good young talent and expected to take a leap forward in 2014.
-
He can'tjust take coaches with him. The Bills would need to agree to let them out of their contracts. Prior to March 1st, they need to agree to let non-HCs to interview for HC jobs. But non-HCs (position coaches, coordinators) are all the same. Even if he wanted to take O'Neil to be his DC, the Bills could block that. That said, they may choose to let him go if that is what he wants to do. They won't let everyone go, of course.
In the end.... organizations have to let coaches walk if they see another opportunity as a step up. Word gets out quickly in coaches circles which organizations are good to work for. Buffalo would be bad-mouthed to no end if they didn't let coaches leave if they desired to.
-
The Bills will be fine and Marrone said he will get a guy in here with the same aggressive D mindset. They'd better be taking Pettines office keys now, security badge, his ipad and all confidential data associated with the Bills. That's what my company does the moment someone leaves here, lol. He is the enemy now!
-
So if I hear correctly, the Seattle D-coord is interested in the Browns and they are interested in him... right?!? That would be pretty short sighted of an organization to NOT hire a guy because of Super Bowl timing.
-
I was driving at lunch listening to Sirius. The guy was talking about the Browns situation and was ripping them to pieces. Saying Pettine was not even a blip on their radar when they fired Chud. Was not on anyone's list. Now this Clown organization might hire him. Pettine is a solid DC but he brings no real credentials to being the Browns head coach.
-
Good coaches move around ALL the time. They often leave the good teams for a better position at a mediocre team and yet the "good" team still stays strong. Pettine leaving won't undo the Bills. I don't think people need to freak out about this. It stinks while a new coach gets up to speed but Marrone already stated he will find someone to use a similar scheme if Pettine leaves. They won't stop being aggressive.

I don't recall hearing or seeing anything about McCrea even playing high school football. Yeah he has the size but he would be the rawest of raw trying to play TE at the highest level in the world.
