Voted Franklin and it’s not even close. But I will add what some others have said, we should attempt to trade up to about 50 if Sweat is still there. Since this poll is ending and the draft will continue, maybe while people are still making their picks, put a new poll out there asking this very thing. I don’t know what the trade chart value is to move from 58 to 50. But whatever that value is, should be polled if we should do it.

I don’t believe it was in a blizzard. It was extremely cold from what I remember. But was also in my teens so I don’t remember exactly. but I think the lister had worn off after we lost in the previous 2 SBs and we just lost to the Oilers a week before.

Prolly doing this 100%

I think this is where I’m at. Not later than 40.

I voted trade back because Mitchell was gone. Don’t believe any of the others is worth it there. But do we have a specific trade back option? Who is offering us their picks and what are the offers? Because I wouldn’t want to trade back to the 50s for an extra 3rd rounder. It’s need to know info

I think you need to post this like 4 times. Yeah and “the Comeback game” didn’t sell out despite 200k people saying they were there and didn’t leave. point is, it’s all old hat after you start and keep winning. Especially when it’s the same story every year.

Right? I think this makes the most sense. Have to wait until we’re up to see what trades are available.

“Many people like to fault McDermott or Frazier (usually McDermott to my eye) for the defense falling apart in theplayoffs. I see it differently. I see it as McDermott and Beane built a defense where "the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts". This is what I’m referring to. They fall apart in the playoffs because they were never really that great anyway. In the playoffs it’s more about good coaching than regular season imo. It’s when the best of the best coaches (generally) have the upper hand. McDermott has been outcoached in the playoffs against superior coaches imo. But my point as still that I believe McDermott has his hands in the draft picks and FAs more than people think. He has a personal preference for players imo. Good guys that are good team mates. Lunch Pail took kind of guys. End of the day he needs to get over it and get some guys that are just monsters that can play. Not everyone is a choir boy. Need to have some nasties on the team. i don’t know what happened with Elam. Why they don’t like him. But I’ll say this, he’s got 3 ints (I think) in important situations when we needed it. Pretty sure 2 or 3 in the playoffs or games leading to the playoffs. Yet they feel he doesn’t deserve to be on the field. Not sure what their issue is with him but it doesn’t make sense to me.

I pretty much agree with all of it expect the parts about McDermott working with what he’s got. imo McDermott has much more say on the roster and draft picks than people want to give him credit for. We’ve all known that McDermott answers directly to Pegula. Imo he gets what he wants in the draft and FA. There isn’t a move that Beane makes that doesn’t get McDermotts approval first. other than Elam, not sure what happened there at all. Because he is not in McDermotts mold at all. Was never a zone guy. Unless McDermott thought about using him another way or what I have no idea. For all we know he fell in love with the fact that Elam brought a notepad with him to the interview and McDermott loves that kind of thing.

This 100%

Yeah I never took anything personal at all from you about your ongoing opinion of whatever you tho know going to happen or has happened. I am simply stating that you are all over the place which I imagine everyone else in this thread can attest to that. Although I think it’s funny that you said “In a completely separate conversation I spoke about how night games sold well” which is what I was replying to in the first place. But I brought it up because you do know that you replying in a thread titled “PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion” right? I have no problem affording my tickets. I’ve upgraded and spent more on my tickets in each of the last 2 years. And for the record I haven’t stated if I am or am not going to renew for the new stadium. I have no need to block you as I find it funny with all the arguments you have going with just about everyone on the board. Yet everyone else is wrong. Got it. again, on the selling of night games. I sold 6 regular home games last season. And 2 playoff games. I can vouch for the fact that the night games I sold JUST LAST YEAR, not 2 and 3 years ago. Did not do as well as you think. Maybe when you last had tickets, the thought of night games was a cool and popular thing. But when the team has more night games at home than 1pm games, it loses its luster. I and many others that actually have season tickets and have had them for a long time, and have had them as recently as last year can vouch for that. You however want to argue that the opening day of the season which happened to be a night game, and a playoff game which was the first playoff game with full attendance in 20 years were great for your resale. Great. We all knew that here. Now get season tickets this year, and try and sell a meaningless night game against the Jaguars, in October, and tell me how you did. Until then, keep your opinions to yourself. Adults with knowledge of the situation are taking here.

Sure. Go ahead and post 3 more playoff games from the 90s bills and tell me how well you did on resale for those games. you’ve recently stated you haven’t had tickets in a while. Then you said the last game you sold was the Titans game 2 seasons ago. Then the first playoff game at home in front of a full crowd in 20 years. just stop. Post about something you actually have knowledge of. I sold 6 regular season games last year and 2 playoff games. I made money overall. I made money on all regular season games. And lost money on 1 playoff games. But you’re arguing so many different things you can’t even remember what your original point was. Hell, no one else can because you keep flip flopping back and forth. First you talk about how little money people have and how we can’t afford PSLs but then talk about how well resale is. When you haven’t even done it in 2+ years. But your next post will be to point out that the majority of fans in the area live in mom’s basement and flip burgers for $15/hr and cannot afford tix. But yet the stadium is sold out every game, and there’s a 7k person waiting list. JUST STOP ALREADY. EVERYONE IS SICK OF HEARING IT OVER AND OVER. and that means a lot coming from me because everyone here loves me so much.

Read what I typed again. And then think about your existence.

Just stop. Now you’re talking about the year before that? The first real playoff game in the stadium because Covid robbed us from the Colts game (I was at) and the Baltimore game. just stop guy. Making yourself look even more ridiculous with every post. Leave this thread and find something that you know to argue about.

Well. I try to give people I’ve never met before the benefit of the doubt. For all I know he’s a big rig for Ticketmaster and knows specifics on resale values. Now I just see he’s living in his own delusional world. Where personal experiences from 2+ years ago aren’t factual in any way shape/form. Dude. Just stop. Opening day. Your insane. Just stop. try it now with a Monday night game in October and tell me how you do.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you kidding me dude? Your really going to argue that selling your tickets to the season opener, the year after we lost in the .13 game, the year we signed Von Miller, the year that every single media outlet had us as the front runner for the years AFC Super Bowl contender, which happened to be a night game. And you want to tell me you didn’t lose money on those tickets? Yeah….. NO CHIT!!!! you are absolutely crazy dude. I can no longer read a single thing you ever write and take you with seriousness at all in any way shape or form.

Gonna get a lot of hate in this one. But I’d trade him in a heartbeat. Problem is, not a single team in the NFL is willing to take a chance on a guy that’s been injury prone his entire career and now coming off what could potential be a career ender.

Ok. So it’s most likely $6-10/tix now. I knew that was the case tho. Because we asked. again, it’s not the Bills doing it, it’s the NFL. The entire league is going that route. Maybe they all haven’t yet, but they will in time.

It’s actually a mandate by the NFL to go to cardless, paperless tickets. It actually started before Covid. The year before Covid my buddy and I went on a tour of the clubs when we were purchasing and our rep told us the NFL is going that route. It helps crack down on scalpers and fake tickets. Notice I didn’t say brokers. Because the NFL is perfectly ok with them doing what they’re doing. Anyway, you could still get cards, or even paper tickets but you had to ask for them. I imagined at some point you would have to pay extra for them as well. Which is now the case. I think you can still get paper tickets also, but last I checked it was an extra $4/ticket. Haven’t you stated in this thread multiple times that you are no longer a STH? When was the last time you sold night games? Because I did last year and I can tell you I had a hard time selling 1 night game. Lost money on one playoff game. Didn’t even get what I paid for them, and barely covered the other playoff game.

Only the Bills would be stupid enough to do that You can’t be under the radar and get a contract for $9 over 2 seasons.

Actually the night games don’t necessarily sell that well. Neither do playoff games despite what people may think. Took a loss on the wild card game this year and barely got a little more than market value on the KC game.

I like Odunze the most personally. But I put Nabors ahead of MHJ also. He’s my 3 on the top 3. And honestly, I might have Thomas Jr over him also.

I think the only way it makes it worth moving up to the 5th pick is if MHJ is still there. Personally I wouldn’t because despite what every in the entire world thinks, I don’t think he’s as good as everyone is making him out to be. I definitely have Odunze higher, and maybe Nabors also.

I’ve got faith in you.
