Albany,n.y.

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?

I think he'll get a longer leash than Gase because he's a 1st time head coach, not someone who was recycled like Gase.

Sorry, someone has to say it: This didn't age well.

Fitzpatrick was a 7th round pick by the St. Louis Rams.

To us old guys 30 years ago is recent.

Nick Saban is still hated by Dolphins fans. Others include Butch Davis in Cleveland, Steve Spurrier in Washington (although he was a success in the USFL prior to his college coaching stints), and back in the 1970s Bud Wilkinson with the St. Louis Cardinals. Some would add our boy Doug Marrone to the list. The only one who came out of college and succeeded that I can think of is Jimmy Johnson.

Ben is in his 17th season. There's no reason Josh won't last as long.
