Sestak4ever Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 In three of our losses this year the defense gave up a total of two touchdowns, 1 against Pittsburgh (their second td came on a blocked punt), none against Jacksonville and one against New England. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Anybody else notice that the Bills have a punter on the PS?

BADOLBILZ Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 11 hours ago, Richard Noggin said: Okay, I'm listening. But you're being vague. How does a football stadium serve the community of Bills fans and the organization, exactly? Stadiums historically solve ZERO problems for the broader community in which they are built. They are expensive buildings where my favorite sport is played. And some overpriced concerts are staged. And a smattering of smaller, community-based partners hold fundraising events (which of course is a good thing). There is published support for this unfortunately skeptical position. All it needs to do is potentially house 13 Bills games per season.........with good teams or bad......and not be a deterrent to acquiring players(who will have increasingly more freedom of movement).....at a much greater cost per game for the next 40 years. Leaving it without a cover is a huge gamble for what will seem to have been peanuts at the mid-life of the structure. I'd be OK with the idea of making the facility so that a roof could eventually be added later(which apparently the Bills have considered)............but when is that work going to get done? And what will THAT cost THEN as a renovation instead of part of a new build? $2B more outlay in 2040? What kind of compromised product will they end up with if they first "half cover" it like Seattle did? People need to keep in mind that most of the structures like Seattle and Pittsburgh and NE that we see as proof of "outdoor viability" in the north are well into their operating lives and IMO will eventually be replaced with domes because the season is going to end up stretching until the end of February soon. The Bills stadium will be 20-30 years younger than those places. Buffalo will be stuck with what they have. As I've noted.........5 of the last 7 NFL stadiums to be built have been domes. Future football will be played mostly indoors. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players want to win, they want to start, and they want to get paid. That’s pretty much it. Also, when it comes to free agency, no team is dumb enough to base payment decisions on raw stats. The Pats, Jets, Giants, Browns, and Packers have had no problem attracting and competing for free agents in recent years. I am pretty sure you have no evidence for this supposition, yet you bring it up a lot. Edited January 8, 2022 by dave mcbride 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure you have no evidence for this supposition, yet you bring it up a lot. I can't give you evidence of the future because it hasn't happened yet.........just like they didn't know that the majority of the games played in Rich Stadium would be played in an era of player free agency. The outdoor stadium crowd is mostly just thinking about what's important now. I'm banking on significant change. Higher costs of attendance, more player freedom, a less violent but faster and more skillful game with a lot more technology on the field, a season that continues to stretch deeper into winter and less fans wanting to shell out those big bucks to sit out in that cold all seem like good plays to me. And if you want to pretend that the prospect of playing in the league's worst weather hasn't hurt the Bills chances of signing players in UFA..........even in a system where the owners have much more control over players than they will in the future.........then you do you. To paraphrase Lee Smith on the sideline last game..........nobody likes being out in this sh*t.
