Where does Brady play after this season?
davefan66 replied to BuffalothruMyVeins's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they win the SB this year, he retires. He wants desperately to go to 4 straight and win a few of them to put another dagger into the Bills fandom. IF he plays next year, he’ll be a patsy. Won’t be with the Niners, no way they bench Jimmy G. For him. If he somehow does end up with another team it would need to be a team that needs nothing, only a QB. He’s not going to go somewhere if it’s a 2 year project. Honestly don’t believe that happens, he’s not a happy camper with the team he has now especially the WR’s that are not playing up to his expectations. All that being said, if he departs against his will, he will end up somewhere just to show Billy B. and company he can do it. Hope that happens and he ends up flat on his face.... -
My Theory on why Bills have a lack of Primetime Games.
davefan66 replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the Bills continue to put eyeballs on the TV like we did Thursday, they will certainly get prime time games next year. Yeah, a new stadium would benefit the NFL, so does keeping TV revenue up. Puts lots-o-cash in every owners pocket for doing nothing - over 270 million per team which is about 90 million more than the cap.... Must be nice to basically pay all your expenses before a single ticket or t-shirt is sold. Be careful what you wish for.....probably end up with a Sunday or Monday night game...in New England.... NFL can’t help itself. -
Roll call for officiating conspiracy believers
davefan66 replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’d like to believe if the refs really did throw games, we’d know. Thing is, there are plenty of things we don’t know that are much more sensitive than NFL games. I’d truly like to believe they are not paid off. But when you see NFL games where certain teams continually get drive saving flags and turnover saving flags, it makes you wonder. Think back to last years playoffs with the no flag PI, the “just give it to ‘em” Bills V Patsies, last weeks phantom “tripping” calls and just about any game the patsies play. One of the plays that gets me the most are holding calls after a good play...when holding can be called on just about every play. It may be established players get the benefit of a doubt, or simply the NFL does rig games to keep the more “popular” teams from losing. I mean the NFL would never rig anything, like contriving who the two teams are to move to a city that doesn’t support NFL teams.... -

deep frying a turkey: tell me what not to do

Butterball XL countertop fryer. Electric and used indoors. Works amazing. Did the outdoor one for years. Never had an issue, but this one is much easier! Safe and easy to keep the temperature constant. https://www.masterbuilt.com/products/butterball-xl-electric-fryer-by-masterbuilt?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs-Kp57OG5gIVQbDtCh3A1g91EAAYASAAEgIO-_D_BwE -
The league under Jerry Jones is all about big corporate dollars. Big corporate dollars that can be kept by the home team. What this article didn’t discuss was how the suites are selling. I’d venture to guess suite revenue is more important to them than PSL sales. issue is, LA is not a football town..they’ve proven it before. Sticking two teams there does nothing but double the failure rate. The Chargers should have fought to stay in SD, but it seems they have a sweetheart deal in this new stadium. Yes LA has huge NFL TV ratings, but so does Buffalo. TV ratings shouldn’t be the reason to place a single team there, let alone two. I find it interesting that the cost of the stadium has tripled, with really no end in sight. I get the few reasons explained, but something else is going on. Either it was low balled purposely to sell the league and other teams to go ahead with the move. Or they have added to the project retail space or increased club/suite setting that increased cost. Or simply, it really is mismanaged which does not bode well for these teams economic viability. The league needs teams like the Bills, Browns, Steelers, Packers, etc. Teams not packing in millions upon millions in PSL or suite revenue, but have rabid fan bases that show up regardless of win-loss records. All are economically viable and in no danger outside of league imposed revenue expectations. Teams like ours can’t be forgotten or their impact on the league marginalized. You can’t have the few upper echelon money makers without the hard working teams at the bottom.

How cold will it be in upper bowl on Sunday
davefan66 replied to BananaB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I sit in section 333, about halfway up. 41 degrees won’t be so bad, unless it’s windy. Gets worse when in the 30’s and below. Layers and warm feet. Bring something to sit on like a blanket. Can wrap up if too cold. Only thing worse than cold feet is a cold Condition on yourself and get to the tailgate by 9 am! Won’t be felling a thing then! -
