  1. No. He gave them the contact info for Legends. So they can milk their fan base for every cent they have. All doing it under a 3rd party, then the Bills have their BS apologies for how the 3rd party handled everything. Blah blah blah
  2. Yup. Even if they needed like 20% down or something like that. It’s no different how they do the tix now. You can pay monthly. You just don’t have access to tix during the season until they are paid for % down would fix that. Maybe demanding 5 years up front. Then you’d always be 5 years paid up early. could even give people an out to just pay for the pSL fees but pass off the tix sales to others if needed. This way you could still keep the rights to the seats but opt out for a year. Etc.
  3. Idk. The nfl has enough hype going for it that I don’t think that it will ever matter.
  4. I’m sure the business with their lawyers have found a way to figure it out. And I hate to say it but the businessmen of the NFL. The owners. The tv execs. None of them give 2 chits about that. They cater to people taking out loans to take their families to 1-2 games a year between the secondary prices of the tix. The hotels. The restaurants. The car rentals. Etc. Or they cater to the businesses that buy out the seats and host business parties or shmooze their clients at games so they can sell more houses, or have better banking options. Etc. They don’t give 2 F-“Ks about the teenager saving up to buy tickets and not spend another dime while inside the stadium. Honestly, they don’t care about almost any of it anyway. Because the tv contracts are what’s putting the majority of money into all their pockets anyway.
  5. I would say that even with interest, if they offered a 20 or 30 year PSL it would go over much better than it currently is. Fans would not worry so much about paying 1k a year for 30 years for a club seat. But when you demand all that money up front or within 10 years or less it becomes a much bigger nut for almost all “fans”. Of course the business/corporate side doesn’t care. They take their write offs asap.
  6. Yeah I get it. Personally I think a 50!yard line seat will likely be about that much. Anything inside the 30s will likely be pretty crazy. Outside the 20s will be where the majority of “Bills Mafia” buys their seats.
  7. Pretty sure the lower levels or upper decks have been announced at all. From the sounds of it, anyone that’s been to the experience will say when asked about the lower and upper levels they tell them that pricing is not available yet. Likely to get them to spring for the expensive clubs. but I wouldn’t doubt that lower level on the 50 you’d be paying north of $10k per PSL. Seems very likely
  8. Well. I didn’t think it was obvious. I have doubts about those numbers honestly. If you were talking resale I would believe it. Where did you say you got that info from again?
  9. That still doesn’t tell me of its posted ticket prices by the teams or secondary prices. And I think that the general assumptions by fans and STHs of how the sales will be done for the new stadium are just that. Assumptions. If @SoCal Deek is correct in that it feels like a timeshare experience, then the reps could very well be pressuring people right out of the gate to get them locked in asap and get some confirmations with payments. I generally think people’s assumptions are incorrect on the ticket options overall. I’m of the impression from my conversations with 3 different reps now. That suite and club members will have their options first in similar sections (other suites or clubs). If they however chose to downgrade and not chose club seats in the new stadium they will then be batched in with the remaining STHs based on seniority for the general admission for the stadium. I DO NOT believe they are batching in everyone by seniority specifically by section and making you chose something in a similar section. I believe after the clubs and suite members are done with their experiences, everyone else will be done by seniority for the remaining ticket holders. Giving everyone by seniority to chose which ever tickets they like at that point. But time will tell. We’re only a week into this process and there is still much to be revealed.
  10. I saw you post before that we are not so far behind the rest of the league. As you stated that we are actually quite high on the list. I’m just curious where you got this information from. Is it based on organization ticket prices? Is it based on secondary market prices? regardless, the NFL and the Bills don’t care. They could play in empty stadiums and still make money. So anything they get is just the cherry on top of the pie at this point. They are likely tripling down with PSL, increased ticket prices, on top of “catching up to the rest of the league”. on another note, I spoke with my new ticket rep the other day. He told me I would probably be a few months away from getting my stadium experience. He answered a few questions for me regarding the process but nothing that would be considered new info here. Just an fyi @SoCal Deek I did get a feeling of timeshare presentation in the phone conversation. Of course he didn’t provide any info on ticket prices. At one point he started asking me questions and actually asked if I was interested in buying MORE than my current 2 club seats. I found that odd especially since it was previously stated they are having 70% success rate.
  11. I’m not pointing out what we need. I’m pointing out that even though @BringBackFergy may be joking and trolling 100%. I do believe however that this is a likelihood of happening. I don’t believe we take a WR before rd3 at this point.
  12. I’m done with you.
  13. Like I think with some others on here I think you’re delusional. im done with the subject. Not talking about this useless waste of a player or the cap space that he takes up anymore. everyone can enjoy hoping for something that will never be.
  14. I’m done with you.
  15. I’m done with you.
  16. I’m done with you.
  17. I would say perfect, line Hodgins up as a gunner and tell him to run in a straight light, very fast, and if someone gets in your way, turn. any monkey can be taught how to stay in their lane on kickoffs and cover punts that are almost never returned anyway. Hell, I’d save all the money and trot out Diggs at kickoff coverage and just tell my kicker to kick it out of the back of the end zone every single time. Or kick it with some hang time and make them fair catch it all the time. Boom, don’t matter who you have on kickoff teams. Problem solved. we’re in cap hell. Let’s act like it and not waste money and roster spots on guys that can’t play a position in the nfl but can cover a punt. It’s a waste.
  18. JPJ, Van Pran, and Frazier are the only ones I’ve looked at really. Probably should now that we’re short a C. I’d rate JPJ as a first rounder, Van Pran as a 2nd rounder, and Frazier teetering between 2nd and 3rd rounder somewhere.
  19. Thought it was pretty obvious as they have mentioned multiple times in multiple links and videos that it would be taller than the light currently in the old stadium. Didn’t know you were unaware of that.
  20. Except I’m not the one that Beane fooled over and over again like the people including yourself seem to accept. Of course we have no choice in the matter anyway. every year it’s the same crap. We sign these players that someone comes on this and every other Bills message board or FB, or any other social media page and defend why it’s a good decision. It’s not. It wasn’t last year, or the year before that, or the year before that. The proof is that we don’t win it all. So technically I’m right. Can B word about me complaining all you want but in the end I was right. Because we signed guys like Harry and Sherfield and Hollins. Taking away cap space and roster spots from people that might make a difference. Instead we ended up with guys like AJ Klein trying to cover Travis Kelce in the biggest game of the year, which by the way, I was right about that too with Bernard, he was too small and would get banged up. And it happened at the worst possible time. But I said I was wrong about Bernard in the past. Love him as a player (omg I actually don’t hate everyone and every move) and hope he continues to work out. I don’t care what other teams do. I care about what this team does. And right now it lacks difference makers. Hell, even Beane and McDermott said that. Said they need more explosive plays. Said they need more guys that are blue chip players. Guys like Harty, Sherfield, Epenessa, Hollins are not. im fully aware that we will head into camp with 90 players. Besides the point. Apparently I can’t say it enough. So I’ll try and explain it again so that you might understand. And I’ll do it like I’m talking to a 6 year old. -Rookie minimum in the NFL is $795k - Vet minimum in the NFL is $915k - we are expecting to be paying Hollins over $2m i argue that we should have saved $1m+ that we would have paid Hollins over some scrub undrafted rookie for special teams, along with 4,5,6,7 (pick as many as you want) other guys. And actually bank that $1m+ savings per player, and actually go out and get someone that MIGHT Makena difference when it comes time to play real teams in the playoffs. any decent respected coach can train a monkey to stay in their lane on kickoffs. It’s a useless waste of roster spots to guys that can actually play a position in the NFL. guys like Neal, Hollins, Harty, Sherfield, Matakevich, Hamlin have no use on the team other than bodies. Replace them with the cheapest guys you can find and spend what little money you actually do have on guys that (again) MIGHT ACTUALLY MATTER. hows about we make a bet, what do you believe is a successful year for Hollins this season? I’m curious to know what you think. I bet he doesn’t get even 35 catches or 300 yards. Which imo, and based on the arguments that I’ve been making, is less than even a street free agent rookie could come up with in the same role.
  21. Terrible argument as CJ was still the best receiver in football hands down. And made his very good QB look even better. the argument wasn’t how the team will perform as a whole? It was how to keep the best WR in football in the highest paid non QB contract in the history of the league. Because that’s what he’s asking for. They already made their bed by not renewing Cousins, who will not only be 36 at the start of the league year, but also coming off a season ending injury that will likely effect him moving forward. They made the right choice. And I’m a fan of Cousins btw. But he’s not special. He’s definitely not top 10. the guaranteed guys that are better Mahomes Allen Burrow Gabbert Jackson Prescott Hurts Lawrence I’d argue that the Following are better or definitely have much more upside: Stafford Stroud Tua Purdy Mayfield then there’s guys like Rodgers who is clearly better but coming off the exact same injury. Don’t forget guys in the draft that are clearly going to be better according to all the professionals like Williams Maye Daniels id put Cousins at his age, and coming off his injury right between 15-20 somewhere on that list. About average in the league. And he may be worth the kind of money he signed for in Atlanta
  22. Yup. I hated Bernard and admitted I was wrong. So have a lot of people. now ask me what everyone else’s opinion of Harty and Sherfield was. Mine was that they were useless and wouldn’t even provide what McKenzie did and I was right. let me guess, you don’t want to get into that. I’ve expressed my opinion and actually come out with logical arguments as to why he’s a waste of money and a roster spot. You just sit there and suck on McBeane as they can’t possibly do any wrong. And sit there and come up with the typical, “he’s just a special teams guy” and “who else for the money do you want” BS. I spelled out exactly why those arguments are a joke. Because they waste roster spots and cap space on guys that have little to no impact on the team. Just like Harty and Sherfield last season. You’re so comical. Calling me out for being brash and stubborn in my opinions and doing the same thing yourself. Pot meet kettle
  23. The Viles won’t be fine with Zach Wilson which is why they won’t be starting him. to answer your question, no, of course JJ won’t be as good with someone like Wilson as he is with Cousins. That’s kind of besides the point isn’t it. They decided to move on from Cousins and find his replacement because he wasn’t good enough. And they felt it wasn’t in their best interest to sign him to 45m a year. Still doesn’t mean they won’t find better than either him or Wilson.
  24. They’ve provided that information at least 10 times since the process. It is known
