  1. The state took in over $70 million the 1st 30 days of mobile sports betting. Since without the sports leagues there are no games to bet on, should the state be taking some of the gambling revenues to help build the Bills new stadium and also support future stadium and arena renovations and upgrades to the state's major league sports teams. One of the biggest complaints from the non sports fans is they don't want their tax dollars spent on stadiums they'll never go to. The money from gambling comes almost exclusively from the fans most interested in the teams, blunting the non sports fans argument. I say use some of the gambling profits to build our new stadium. Yes, I'm aware this would require some political maneuvering.
  2. For us older fans, what you are describing is exactly how we felt during the Kelly era. We had endured many seasons where we were not only bad, but a laughingstock. It was an incredible feeling watching the Bills of the early 1990s after all the heartbreak we had put up with for decades. I went to all 4 Super Bowls & I felt that I deserved to go for all the past suffering. If the Bills make the Super Bowl and I'm still physically able to go, I'll be there & it will be sweet, especially if on the 5th try I see them win one.
  3. Your analogy is garbage since the Steelers have won multiple Super Bowls while the Bills have won none.
  4. We need a RB that puts fear in the opponent. We're not winning the Super Bowl until we get more balanced on offense. Josh running for over 700 yards isn't sustainable.
  5. Maybe it's because I don't usually use QR codes, but I thought that was the worst Super Bowl commercial I'd ever seen. I was literally yelling at the TV for it to stop.
  6. I'm guessing a rematch of the NFC championship game, but what would the nation want? Josh Allen or Trey Lance? The nation wants Josh!
  7. Considering I'm not 10 years old, I'd rather be the Steelers fan (not the Steelers since most of them weren't with the team for 10 years) because I know I'm not on the team. So, responding as a fan, I would have memories of multiple Super Bowl wins going back to the Bradshaw era as well as the Roethlisberger era. Meanwhile, as an Eagle fan, I'd only have 1 Super Bowl season. Anyone who picks the Eagles is either 10 years old or is thinking like one. PS: I'm a Yankees fan & even though the Yankees haven't won a World Series since 2009, I have a lot of great memories of many world championships. So because I'm not 10 years old I'd rather be a Yankee fan than of any other team.
  8. Staley drove me crazy this season with what were statistically based decisions that logically made no sense, like going for it on 4th down deep in his own territory. I think he lost more games than he won with what appeared to be blindly following percentages without regard to the downside. If stats say you have a 70% chance of success, but if it doesn't work that 30% costs you the game, you eschew the 70% & live to play for another possession.
  9. So glad that when I opened this link it wasn't Darryl. 😃
  10. Why did they have the QBs throw baseballs?
  11. Get real. Moss won't be on the team next year & Singletary is on the last year of his rookie contract. RB is a HUGE issue.
  12. He was in the front row, reserved for the NFL elites.
  13. I've wasted too much time already. Thanks for stopping a debate where there is no right answer. There are 2 types of fans : visual & stat fans. Since both sides view the game from a totally different perspective, there can never be much of an agreement. Sometimes one side is right & sometimes the other side is right.
  14. I wasn't analyzing football stats, clown.
  15. I spent a career analyzing data and numbers. Did you? I understand how unreliable football statistics are without proper context. Next time you want to post something as juvenile as the post above, just look in the mirror & slap yourself 3 times.
  16. Tell me, why do the pros spend hours looking at film? It reflects poorly on YOU that you don't understand what the professionals do. Stats are for losers, LOSER.
  17. Don't, stat boy. Go and watch some NFL games, stop looking at stats & then you might actually get a clue. If you do that it will take a lot longer than Tuesday for you to understand NFL football. Get back to us in a few months after you've been educated.
  18. Stats are for losers, especially QB stats. Always have been, always will. That's why teams spend hours looking at film rather than a few minutes looking at stats. I'll repeat: Stats are for losers, especially QB stats. Always have been, always will. That's why teams spend hours looking at film rather than a few minutes looking at stats. Get your head out of stats & watch some video of games!
  19. What Debbie Downer stuff? When the Bills were at Wembley they weren't very good & the place was still packed. That's my point: The NFL is not taking one of the top 5 games of the season & shipping it to Europe when the TV audience will be one of the top rated games of the season. Does it? The logistics of putting a team in Europe are difficult at best. So what's their goal other than to get more fans interested & sell some merchandise? They don't need to send one of the top games of the year over there & they won't. Bills at Chiefs will either be Sunday night or Thanksgiving night.
  20. Considering the game is almost certainly going to be a Sunday night game, I can't see the NFL choosing to ship one of the biggest TV drawing games to Europe. If the Chiefs are playing in Germany and losing a home game, it's likely either vs Jacksonville or Seattle (especially if Wilson is traded away) Not when they can get away sending a scrub team to Europe.
  21. I seriously doubt that KC or NE is going to ship one of the top games on their schedule to Germany. KC fans would go nuts if they took the Bills/Chiefs rematch out of KC.
  22. Yeah, that's really going to happen with a minor league that isn't even playing in the cities that the team names say they are from.
  23. Because they were the ones who were thinking about hiring a white guy who has never coached in the NFL at any level & would have made a mockery of a coach search if they had hired McCown. The heat was on them after it leaked that the two leading candidates were Flores & McCown and they really didn't want to hire Flores after he filed the lawsuit. So they had to find another candidate, preferably a black man. New Orleans eventually hired a white coach with previous head coaching experience whose defense figured out how to stop Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers this past season, which was pretty good on his resume His promotion was much more palatable than if Houston had hired McCown.
  24. As long as NO has the patience to keep Dennis Allen beyond a season or 2, maybe this works out. If they are bad this year & can get the right QB in the 2023 draft, they can have a Bengals like turnaround by 2024. A franchise QB solves a lot of problems for any head coach.
