300+ Yard Passing Games
HalftimeAdjustment replied to Protocal69's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A 300 yard game isn't that great on 45-50 attempts, and it just ok on 40 attempts. A lot of QBs are going to hit 300 this year and a fair number may hit 350. The new benchmark has to be either 375 or 400 yard games. -
No White on returns please. If we get to that point, find somebody to just kneel it down, or perhaps even fall forward.

Bojo to Rams (update - traded to Packers)
HalftimeAdjustment replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I had to know what he was worth. Apparently... the difference between a 2023 6th and a 2023 7th. Is that more or less than a 2023 7th?? Does the draft pick value guide go down this far? https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2021/08/31/packers-punt-jk-scott-acquire-corey-bojorquez-trade-rams/5671482001/ -
Well, if the taxpayers contribute any money then there should ideally be a mandatory public audit of the costs involved to ensure that money is well spent. Having said that, costs of doing business in WNY are clearly higher than those in Indiana, Georgia, or Texas. Both political and weather factors impact the cost. I don't see why that is not obvious. MetLife is probably a better comparison point.

The long snapper will be available all game.

I think the NFLPA just says "no" and the proposal goes nowhere. Even if 90% of players are vaccinated that does not at all imply that a majority of players support forcing the other 10% to get vaccinated. Support for a mandate among players is likely very, very low. There was already basically a "vax or be inconvenienced" approach in place, the NFL should leave it at that.

This, exactly. The situation changed so the rules have to change. Very frequent testing for all provides the highest safety margin. The vaccinated are less likely to transmit it, but not so much less likely that it is worth not testing them more often than 1/week. The testing is uncomfortable but let's face it these guys can deal with a lot of uncomfortable things for their job.

Dion Dawkins activated from COVID list

I hope he is able to make a full recovery. -
Let me start with my opinion that a 100% taxpayer-paid stadium is not reasonable. Looking at this more deeply there are at least 4 basic ways to have public subsidies: - Direct public funding (state/county pays, gets nothing in return, taxpayers eat the cost). - Public financing (state/county floats bonds which are secured by future stadium revenue / team payments) - Indirect investments (state/county provide free land, roads, or other services) - Tax rebates (business gets future tax reductions). For purposes of this discussion I think we should ignore this option or treat it the same as the direct funding. The team, meanwhile, has 3 major sources of money: - Sales to fans (tickets, merchandise, suites, and possibly PSLs) - Television / shared revenue - Owner's personal wealth The public financing option should not be ignored in this mix. If the stadium will cost $1.1B, a split between direct public subsidy, public financing, and team money (upfront) is likely to be involved. I am not optimistic about a near term resolution. Asking the team to stay and take $0 in public money of any kind is worse that the status quo (state/county already kick in millons/yr under current agreement). It may seem attractive on principle, but it is barely more realistic than a 100% public paid option.
