Just watching the game now, the announcers only gave you a small taste of what was going on. A guy pissing to put out a fire? That's gotta be some kind of record for a non-soccer sporting event.
It was in the stands behind the endzone. By then many of the seats were empty. Wives and girlfriends must have demanded that they wanted out of there. I could see it because by then I had the best seat I ever had. Security wasn't worried about correct seating lol. When the Bills would make a great play, I stfu!!!

This game is counterargument number 1 when someone talks about how bad spectators are these days.
What I left out was that the weather was exceptionally warm for a halloween, and people started tailgating early in the afternoon for a Monday Night Game. I knew before the game even started that a very high percentage of the stadium was heavily intoxicated. A Bills fan was punched out a few rows down from me and ran up the stairway aisle. Before he got to the top he was attacked by another Jet Fan.
Again, I was NOT wearing Bills gear and to this day I will never, not ever wear an opposing team logo to any sporting event. I wish good luck to those who do but it is quite the risk imo. I went to the Alabama/Arkansas game in Tuscaloosa in 2023. There were some fans with Arkansas T-shirts. To my surprise, nobody bothered them (that I witnessed) and Crimson Tide Fans are insane. I guess one never knows but many Jet Fans at The Pumpkin Game were behaving like criminals.

I was there. It was unreal. Girls were getting molested and drunks were shouting various obscenities at them. One was going up the stairs and started to cry. At halftime, almost every woman left.
A guy lit a chair on fire. It was blazing and when security came their extingusher didn't work. When he left to get another one, some nut pissed on it.
Morganna the stripper streaked the field.
Bills fans were getting beaten and bloodied (I was luckily in plain clothes). A HUGE pumpkin balloon was being punched around the stadium. When it fell onto the field the stadium erupted and shouted "We Want Pumpkin." Security actually threw it back and drunk fans continued to punch it around. I saw one guy miss and punched another fan and knocked him cold.
At one point the game stopped and the players were watching the fans fight. Cornelius Bennet was staring into the stands in disbelief.
After halftime most fans left. I stayed for a while and we moved down to Row 1 in the Mezzanine at the 50 yard line. Then it was time to go.
I was never at a sporting event that was 1% as crazy as that night.

Well, life is too short so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity -
Come down on your own, and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and Ijust ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and Ican't find my way home

Really sad. I liked him too. Tragic.
He was a very interesting player. He only played 2 seasons at Alabama and he wasn't a starter. That said, when Saban did put him in he was a VERY good player. He was a steal in round 4.
May he rest in peace and his loved ones be blessed.

How can I try to explain
Cause when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go -
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high (I wanna take to the sky)
Loving you more till the day I die (oh, natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high (I want you to be mine)
Loving you more... -

It's my understanding they both report to Pegula, who has fate control over them both.
They both have said things in interviews at various times that indicate this isn't the case, for example that Beane has on occasion done things that McDermott disagreed with and only reluctantly accepted.
I doubt anything will persuade you out of an opinion you hold, though.
Of course Pegula is in charge. He owns the team. duh. He also does not seem to be a meddling owner such as Mr. Wilson.
Do enlighten me please....Do you think that their power within the organization is 100% equal. Is this what you truly believe? Are they also equal in every phase of life? I wonder, do they both eat the same food every day? Assuming that they don't have exactly the same amount of sway with the owner or in terms of building the team, who would you think would be more powerful?
McDermott obviously got Beane the job. Did you ever get your boss hired to be in charge of you? I for one never did and I wonder how many have experienced this.
Your comment that implied that I could never change an opinion I hold was rude, but no apology is necessary. I am however glad that you no longer hold dictatorial power on this board.

No why is Beane an afterthought? He’s McD’s guy?
Of course. McDermott is the boss.

Why?
Because imo, he has far too much power in the organization and he is too defense oriented, thus depriving a GREAT quarterback (the best we ever had), of weapons he could use to win us a Super Bowl.

If DeWayne Carter and Cedric Van Pran turn out to be solid adds to the roster, we'll be taking your statement at face value and saying "yep, Good News!"
Two things are possible:
1) Beane is wrong that there was ~ equal talent among the WR drafted at or after our original pick, and the guy(s) who stand out are not our guy
2) Beane is correct and /or Coleman is the pick of the lot
No one knows as of yet
But I can't shake the sense that the real issue for many here is that Beane failed to trade up into the top group that went with the first 10 picks
My thinking is that if you think a player is good enough, take him. If you like a player THAT much, why trade down not once but twice and for minimal return?
In other words, McDermott took two chances on losing Coleman. I hope the kid is a superstar but if they were willing to gamble that much on losing out on him, how good should I expect him to be?
How would you explain what happened?

Alabama was the most "run heavy" at 23 pass attempts and 40 rush attempts (64%).
And even that was primarily due to the drop off at the QB position with Milroe (and the fact that he is a good runner), or so it would seem.

If it were up to me yes, McDermott would be fired. Beane is more of an afterthought imo.

Yeah it's obvious to me that an offensive head coach would change the investment priorities of the organization. The idea that Beane is pushing forward with a defense first philosophy with little to no input from McDermott doesn't make any sense at all. Beane scouts the talent and picks the players but McDermott sets the broad goals of the organization. That's how all NFL regimes are run these days.
So despite Beane's faults I'd be interested to see him build the team with different organizational directives guiding him. He's a great executive and front man for the organization, but he needs a strong voice in the room telling him, for example, you don't publicly congratulate yourself for landing a safety in the 2nd round after foolishly attempting to trade up for him. As opposed to McDermott who surely told him he needed his Hyde/Poyer replacement at all costs.
GREAT post but you are beating your head against the wall. Soon you will be shouted down and told that Beane (and NOT McDermott) is calling the shots. As every poster on this board knows, McDermott traded away the Mahomes pick to draft a cornerback before Beane was even working for the Buffalo Bills. In fact, it was almost certainly McDermott who got Beane hired, and probably could fire him at will.
Since then McDermott has focused primarily on defense wrt top draft choices and expensive free agents. Beane is a smart man but I'm not really sure if he has a scouting background. McDermott calls the shots and in doing so has deprived our FANTASTIC superstar QB of the weapons he needs and fully deserves.

Keon Coleman by far. I am NOT saying that he won't be good. What I'm saying is that I didn't, and still do not understand the manner in which he was chosen.
Josh Allen is our future HOF QB. If you think that a receiver is THAT good, why on earth would one trade down not once but twice before selecting him? He seems to have this dynamic personality. Let's hope that his selection was not something of a publcity stunt for fan appeal.
Look, am I happier to see Coleman drafted early than another CB, MLB, or DT? Yes, much happier and I thank McDermott for doing this, but again; the fact that he would trade down not even once but twice before selecting him causes me to raise an eyebrow.
That said, let's hope to see him rip the league apart and score 20 touchdowns or more!!!

Yeah one would think that he might have feared getting something burned off LOL. By that time he probably has 25 or 30 beers. I have NEVER seen this many drunk people at the same time and that is truly saying something.
I saw more stoned out people at Grateful Dead concerts but those are stories for another day.
