Like A Mofo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We all sit here and wonder why can't the Bills get the QB issue resolved? Why can't this team be efficient on offense, especially the passing game? Why have the Bills not had 1 400 yard passing game since 2005? Look no further then New Era Field. Why is building a new stadium (with a retractable roof preferably) more successful then not and how would this directly impact the Buffalo? 1. Better experience for fans: If it is 15 degrees in December, it will be 72 inside 2. Better chance of bigger crowds for late games in the year even if team isn't meeting expectations Now for the real benefits: 3. Finally, this franchise can stop reaching for big arm QB's with questionable accuracy. The list , we all know them (EJ, JP, RJ Bledsoe, and now Allen). Can Josh Allen still succeed? Sure, he can too early to tell but the odds are not great. The Buffalo Bills can join the 21st century in the passing game. Short and medium passing with high accuracy is a good start to sustaining success as an offense. 4. Building this new stadium puts pressure on the ownership down to win: A team has to sell more expensive seats, suites, PSL's and the like. No more New Era with little debt. Put pressure on the wallet and magic can happen at One Bills Drive. 5. Good amount of examples of teams building a new stadium and turning around their fortunes: Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia to name a few. Even New England. This rule is not 100% guaranteed, but the rate of success is pretty solid. 6. Increases the changes of attracting, and also keeping, offensive talent in Buffalo: Better facilities creates a better vibe to say in Western NY over say Miami. 7. Roger Goddell might stop meddling: He wants the Bills to build a new stadium, is vocal. Mara from the Giants is, and is cranky about it. Jets come out of nowhere to swoop in and get the Colts #3 pick when I truly believe the Bills were eying Darnold? Hmmmmmm....Steers Vick away from the Bills?

TheElectricCompany Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Nah, let's go all in on the "run the ball and play good defense" route. Build an open air stadium right on the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah. If someone could just send this thread to the guys in Pittsburgh, Seattle and Foxborough, Green Bay and New Jersey. Teams in outdoor cold stadiums never get good QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv001 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If a new stadium is built within the city limits, I do hope it's domed with an Art-Deco elevation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a wind and snow game where even the GOAT didn’t throw a pass for two of the quarters and very few in the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Saquon, but he has been vocal about the Bills and a stadium. I truly believe the league is dying for a Jets surge (hard to do I know but) they will try.

Real McClappy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I've been seeing that a new stadium is the only way to turn the Bills around for years now. Maybe, just maybe there is some truth to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just b/c the glorified gym teachers running this organization/team think you need a big armed QB in WNY weather does not make that so. They seem to have missed the fact that when we went to 4 straight Super Bowls, we had an explosive passing attack that, for example, in the 1990 AFC Championship game played on a cold Buffalo January day, gutted the Raiders for 51 points and had them so rattled, their defense was calling timeouts in a confused panic. Our stadium has nothing to do with the success of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
