Juice_32 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Don, if you hear anything else drop by. At the very least the discussion beats the hell out of debating the merits of Tyrod for the fourteen millionth time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Honestly, right now, its taken as someone throwing at the wall. Time will tell as to whether you are telling the truth or not. Until then, expect people to be weary of the things you say. If you're that sensitive then maybe this just isn't the place for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You or your source has contradicted themselves in the first sentence. He likes Dennison and doesn’t blame his offensive system but he isn’t sold on him either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 7 hours ago, BigDingus said: What's that supposed to mean? He's stated that somewhere before? I'm pretty sure 99% of owners WANT a dome, it's just a matter of affording the construction of a domed stadium. And just because it's an indoor stadium, doesn't necessarily mean it'll be one of those massive palaces that Jones, Blank & Kroenke like. Lucas Oil Stadium (Colts) cost $856 million (adjusted for inflation), Ford Field (Lions) cost $696 million, NRG Stadium (Texans) cost $490 million (Man...Texas is awesome), and University of Phoenix Stadium (Cardinals) cost $556 million. Problem is a lot of owners want to go ALL-OUT and put the nicest, most luxurious and absolute best of everything in these stadiums. The box seats are of huge importance, so they make them as flashy and prestigious looking as possible to attract as much money as possible. We could feasibly build a fixed or retractable roof stadium if they were smart with their money and didn't feel the need to one-up the last palace built. I know luxury suites are important, but New Era Field only has like 60 or so executive suites right? They wouldn't have to add a ton more, as they know their audience isn't primarily made up of a bunch of rich businessmen or upper-class white collar people. And I'd think the Pegula's would be financing the stadium privately (with possible small assistance from the county), so they'd want to make sure it was economical. The problem is the Buffalo market. They aren't building the "executive suites" because the market won't support having them, and without a ton of extremely high priced suites, it becomes difficult to to have a viable plan for how a new stadium will provide value. So in the Bills case, the taxpayers are going to get an even worse deal than the bad one they already get everywhere else. I do believe a stadium will be built, and I'd bet on it being a dome. But it will be built based on the political sway of the Pegulas and the need of NY politicians to curry favor with WNY. It will never be an economically viable project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don't know why people are jumping on DD.

Steptide Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I enjoy the inside info. I'm not 100% thrilled about cousins. I'd almost just rather take our chances with Peterman and then if necessary, draft a qb in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 1 hour ago, Dunkirk Don said: One wild card in the decision, current employed offensive coordinator is in the mix. Possible the team he works for, the entire staff will be fired. If he becomes available, bills will make a strong wrong at him. Biggest hurdle is location. Guy and family are left coast people. Mike Sullivan from the Giants? Born and raised in California and likely to be fired along with their whole staff. He was in Tampa Bay from 2012-2013 so McDermott would be familiar with him. He was Eli Manning's QB coach in the 2010 and 2011 seasons which were 2 of his best years including the Super Bowl win. Yeah after doing some research I'll be keeping a close eye on Mike Sullivan. Thanks for the inside info Dunkirk Don. Ignore the whiners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Why do people throw shade at the OP? Pretty much all of what he says seems logical. There have been insiders on this forum for years. WIth new coaches and a new GM we may have a legitimate new insider. I don't get the hate. If it turns out in a few months that we realize he is just blowing smoke, then we can say we've been tricked like all those Peter Pan links. In the meantime, any chance for an inside look at the thoughts at One Bills Drive seems good to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s solid but will never be in the same league as guys like brady, Brees, Rodgers, and Ben R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
