Honestly I feel like Frazier dodged a bullet there. I think the Texans were looking for a "rebound coach" to help set a decent baseline after the idiocy of BOB. My gut says Culley was hired to be 1 or 2 and done before they get their real coach.

That’s a great concept “rebound coach”, the Bills had like 20 years of those.

Honestly would love to see a smaller 50,000 to 55,000 seat stadium...built with the same mind frame Seattle built theirs to keep noise in. 55,000 of our fans in a stadium like that would sound like 150,000 anywhere else.

I really like the stadium in Seattle. I have been to 8 games there and can unequivocally state that the Bills fans will be way louder than the Seattle fans. They are pretty good bunch, but they are nowhere near as rabid as our fans are. If you created the stadium with those acoustics, Buffalo would turn into a madhouse for opponents.

This is why I hate Seattle fans. Their computer nerds built a stadium with unnatural accoustics, and their fans take credit for it.

That would prolly force the NFL to reimpose the crowd noise unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the 12th man—remember that ‘90 Elway comeback fumble game where we scored like 3 x in 77 seconds?  The crowd was a huge factor in that game.

The #1 reason for shrinking seats in stadiums are rowdy (stupid) fans. The days of 70-80,000 fannys in the seats are over.

Sadly.😢🤨

Football attendance is becoming a 3% place to be along with a few wannabees. 

Most fans will  pay the online or TV fees or bars. 

The days of tailgating in a blizzard as a great day, beer in the snow bank beside the fire, JD shots for all comers, peeing beside the open car door, hot Italian sausage on the grill, friends whose name you don't know dropping by for a shot, a talk, and a GO BILLS, will die soon.

 If your prognostication is in any way foretelling, then build a dome downtown, dammit!

I'd put most Seattle fans firmly in the bandwagon category

As someone who lives in Seahawks land, I would argue that to a point. I know plenty of Seahawks fans who have been unwavering for decades.But, if you are to compare the undying loyalty of the average Bills fan to the passion of an average Seahawks fan, you are definitely not talking about the same stratosphere of fandom.

In another thread someone linked an article that said statistics show that stadiums do little or nothing for local economy.  That being said I think a retractable dome makes the building more useful. The current stadium ended up in Orchard Park by default. Original plan was a dome in Lancaster.  New stadium is going to be about path of least resistance and money, which is why current plan is open air in Orchard Park.

*Houston, we have a problem..*

 

One problem is keeping pace with the team names. Dallas Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs. The Houston Oilers became the Tennessee Oilers, who morphed into the Titans after the New York Titans became the Jets. Then Houston re-emerged and took the old Dallas team name. If you can keep that straight, you know we’ve had a checkered past with all of them.

This current incarnation cheap shot Josh Allen after he threw a pass, knocking him out for 5 weeks in ‘18. Then, with great assistance by bogus penalties, mixed in with a couple WTF plays, they came from way behind to topple us in OT in the ‘19 playoffs.  They’ve completely self-destructed since then with absurd ownership moves and the masseuse. Gone are All Pros DHop & JJ. They’re a wounded animal now and that can be dangerous. Thankfully, all ‘Any given Sunday’ jargon still has them way under-manned today. Realistically, only ‘Ma Nature’ can be an equalizer this afternoon. And dontcha know, she intends to be! Expect a monsoon during the game. Too bad it’s not a grass field like the Rockpile, where you couldn’t tell the jerseys from the mud by the 3rd qtr.. (Great Times!) I like our chances anyway with a revamped dedication to running the ball, crafty RBs, willing and effective WRs blocking and RoboQB at the helm. Felicino being out hurts as he’s better in the run game at Center, but Ford has shined in run blocking. We’ll miss Poyer’s PUNCH as well.

 

We ain’t foolin’ witcha Mother Nature, but we askeert.

 

This game finishes the cupcake part of the early schedule. The opposition greatly improves for a while and October means Football! 

 

*Houston, YOU have a problem!*

 

Go Bills!

 

 

That raging Buffalo is the best!!!!

Arrowhead is in a cold weather city, seats 76,000, supposedly louder than the OP, actually built before the OP.  Also Lambeau seats 82,500 in the smallest NFL Market.

 

 

Both old, renovated stadiums.

Respect your personal experience, for sure.  My impression comes from my son who lives in Seattle. I've attended a couple of games with him and I agree that the fans are hospitable.

Kinda scary that you think Allen is worse than our OL, Punter, and OL reserves.

 

Boogie to see his 1st Ever NFL game action!

Our defense has also faced some very pedestrian offenses in the league...we haven’t  really been challenged on D imo...

 

Lets see how they do against KC, next week, and then we’ll have a better idea if our D is legit or not...
