Albany,n.y.

I don't want to be the 1st Super Bowl team to have to play their opponent on their home field. Home field in the Super Bowl is too big an advantage to overcome. Give me Green Bay, I want nothing to do with Tampa Bay playing at home.

I agree except for one factor: If Houston hires an unqualified white guy Stephen A Smith's head will explode and he'll go ballistic on the air. It might be worth the trouble just to see Smith's reaction. A few years ago he was going nuts because Jeff Fisher kept getting retained as a head coach in the NFL while qualified black candidates were overlooked. I am biased against Smith because he once snubbed my nephew at a Warriors game when they were sitting in the same row and my nephew said hello to him. Like we were when Buddy Nix was GM & the best he could do was get Chan Gailey whose last job was getting fired as KC's OC in August before the season even started. The definition of someone getting fired up.

They can't fake a kick & have Bass throw a TD. It was going to be the Bills secret play this week & now it's out the window.

You're living in a world about 20 years ago. In a lot of places you can't get a decent seat for $100. You make Ralph look like a free spender.

I believe he & Josh Rosen are both a total waste of a team's time. When a 1st round QB is waived before his 3rd season there's no way he turns it around. These guys get cut for a reason. You can even extend this to 2nd round QBs. Recent examples are Christian Hackenberg who the Jets wouldn't allow on the field his 2 seasons there and Brian Brohm who was waved before his 2nd season & Russ Brandon picked him off the Packers practice squad, wasting the time of Bills coaches, players & fans.

I don't know what they are now but the most recent Super Bowls I went to were XLVIII & 50. For SB 50 I was in the cheapest seats & the face value was $850. For XLVIII I was in the 2nd cheapest seat & face was $1,000.

I checked the link and was able to dummy in an order to see their service fee. It turned out to be 18%, so the tickets listed for $5,950 have a $1,071 service fee for a total price of $7,021 per seat.

We're both wrong. We traded up not the Rams. Pick 91 was traded to the Rams for us to move up for Zay Jones but as part of the deal we got pick 149 which was part of the Dawkins trade up.

Dion Dawkins had nothing to do with the Mahomes trade. The pick they used from the trade to move up in the 2nd round was used to select Zay Jones. So the trade really looks like this: Bills trade pick 10 of 2017 draft (Mahomes) to KC & 2018 3rd rounder Bills for got Tyrod Taylor to Baltimore for White, pick used to trade up for Zay Jones who was traded for pick 145 of the 2021 draft, Edmunds & Neal. Basically: Bills trade Mahomes & Taylor Bills get White, Edmunds, Neal & pick 145 of this year's draft.

I think it's a great idea. Since Cuomo will likely nix any parade in Buffalo, KC is letting us have the parade there. The best part should be the peaceful transfer of power from Patrick Mahomes to Josh Allen as the face of the NFL. They may even bring in Jake from State Farm.

Stubhub is around $10,000 a ticket after fees. NFL On Location is $5,950 before fees. Typical fees can range from 15% to 25%, so even at 15% the NFL On Location is close to $7,000. The unknown variable is the amount of tickets for sale. Both Stubhub & NFL On Location will refund your $ if they limit the number of seats below what is anticipated & they can't sell you a ticket. Beware of less reputable sellers. I can't get my 1st Covid shot until March, so I won't be going. If this was a Covid free year in a full stadium I'd go. I went to all 4 Bills SBs in the 1990s, but I can't risk it due to my age & overall health. Also, if Tampa gets in the ticket prices will be even more outrageous than they are right now since they will be the home team with a fan base that doesn't have to travel. Back in the 90s my friend and Super Bowl partner won 2 lotteries so we had tickets at $150 each and the most I paid for a package through a travel agent was $1,248 for the Atlanta SB from TravelUSA in Buffalo which included the flight, 3 nights at a motel, ticket & bus rides to the stadium.

I went to 3 of the 4 AFC Championship games (the January 1993 game was the only one not at our stadium) and the 4 Super Bowls. I expected us to win the AFC every time, but before & after the 4th straight I figured the run was over. I remember going to the game & telling my friend who I went to the game with to savor it because it's probably the last one. I never expected that 27 years later there still hasn't been another AFC championship game in OP and it would take this long to get back to the AFC championship game. Highlights of confidence: For the 1st one vs the Raiders I bought a plane ticket to Orlando for the trip to XXV the Saturday before I left for Buffalo. That's how confident I was. I went with the Disney package. For the 3rd one it was in Miami I invited 3 friends & one brought a Dolphins fan to watch the game in my apt. I bought a bottle of champagne & popped the cork in the 4th quarter.

He's not eligible to play until next season: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/19/mark-ingram-robert-griffin-iii-wont-be-eligible-to-play-for-another-team-until-2021-season/ With the Ravens waiving running back Mark Ingram on Tuesday and quarterback Robert Griffin III on Monday, some have wondered whether either player could be claimed by one of the remaining playoff teams. The answer is no. Teams can waive players now. However, the waiver claims aren’t processed until after the Super Bowl.

Per a report out of KC that was just reported on WGR. So if this report is correct Mahomes will be playing on Sunday. No links yet.

I've never liked QB stats of any kind. There are just too many variables that take place on the field to properly judge a QB by any type of rating. I'll just give one example: Two teams, one has a bruiser RB, the other has a great TE. Team 1 drives down the field and in goal to go situations gives it to the RB to score TDs. Team 2 passes to their TE for their goal to go TDs. Both teams score a lot, but team 2's QB has a better rating because he throws a lot more TD passes than team 1's QB even though they may be equal in driving the ball down the field and both give their team an equal chance of winning.

If it's against KC next week someone has to dust off the sign that was at the Rockpile for the AFL championship before the 1st Super Bowl "Bills in Super Bowl, Chiefs in Soup Bowl". Hopefully with a different ending this time.

When you're playing a team that is a run 1st pass 2nd and is known to have a tough time coming back when they get behind, you want to get them playing from behind ASAP. Now the Bills scored only 3 in the 1st half, but by the time Baltimore got the wind in the 4th quarter the game was basically over, especially after Jackson went out. The problem with the OP is one size doesn't fit all. You don't mind Baltimore, which has a hard time coming back getting the wind in the 4th quarter, but you wouldn't want to face Mahomes with a wind advantage in the 4th quarter even with a 14 point lead.

The big signing bonus is paid in year 4, so the big payday starts after year 3.

There's no such thing as completing a rookie contract for a 1st round QB who turns out to be a franchise QB. They all get big bucks after 3 seasons.

Back in 1988 when I 1st moved to Albany and I hadn't yet heard of satellite bars I used to drive halfway to 2/3 to Utica and watch the game in my car on a small black & white TV for games that weren't on in Albany. I did this for a total of 3 games. The 1st 2 were 1 PM games so I parked in a rest stop on Rt 20. The 3rd game was in Seattle & was a 4 PM game played mostly after it got dark in NYS. I went to a well lit Thruway rest stop 66 miles from where I lived & watched the game there. The best part was I was able to go in & get dinner there. The next year I found out I could go to bars & watch the games not on home TV. By then I was going to most of the home games anyway. Overall, the experience of sitting in my car & watching a game, even if it could be in a parking lot with big screens, especially in winter, is something I never want to do again.

Arthur Blank likes guys named Smith. They used to be coached by Mike Smith (the one who isn't a jockey).

There's not going to be a parade. They will hold a celebration at the stadium with 6,700 in attendance. The celebration will be televised live in Buffalo & streamed on the Bills website.

Before he retired Ozzie Newsome was the best GM in the NFL.

We don't have much of a running game because we don't have a #1 RB on the roster

Does anyone know what the PS callup rules are for the playoffs? In the regular season they only get 2 callups. I thought Jackson used his up. How many more does he get before they have to sign him?
