    I don’t get 60K. We went from 80K to 71K, now 60K.  Makes no sense.  

    Lots factors into this.

     

    1) our capacity compared to market size was always high but our market has shrunk. Going to 60k brings us close to league average for market size.

     

    2) ticket sale sused to be a huge money maker for teams. Now the money is dominated by broadcast rights so you dont NEED large stadiums with high capacity

     

    3) demand for being in the stadium has dwindled because the home-watching experience has gotten so good. Gone are the days of crowding around a 16in CRT. Now the at home experience is much better than in the stadium in terms of watching the game. Didnt used to be that way when the Ralph was built.

  2. bad execution in the RZ is our primary issue but to be 0-5 in once score games is such bad luck. To be even 2-3 would mean a world of difference on how we all feel about this team.

     

    Last year we had the Rams game and the Patriots game 1 where we won games on some luck. This year we have the the opposite in the Titans game and the Buccs game where some bad luck lost it for us.

    Pats season has been very similar to ours this year but for some reason we give them the benefit of the doubt and not our own team. Blowout wins against mediocre teams with injury problems / bad teams all season. 

    I think a difference is that 1) they havent had a really ugly loss. Theyre losses are mostly close to good teams (besides week 1). 2) They are rolling without any hiccups. If they had won 4 of 5 with a head scratcher in the mix Id feel different. But they come out ready to play week after week. Mac Jones isnt really stellar but is playing well and the defense is just flat out good.

    If not for some uncharacteristic missed throws during last year’s playoff game from Rivers,  the Colts likely would have won the game as they dominated in the trenches and outgained the Bills.  
     

    I think key Buffalo injuries play a factor here.

     

    Indy - 24

    Bills -  21

    Missed throws by Rivers are extremely characteristic.

    I never understood this. It's the NFL. Every team is physical and the Bills are considered a more physical team then most by most analysts. I hope you are wrong, just for the sake of it I'll say 27-20 Bills.

     

    The loss of brown, star, Edmunds and Milano may likely prove to be too damning for us this week but let's hope not. Please don't give the pats the division lead!!

    Wait, Milano is out? When did that happen?

    They are 17th in YPP out of the shotgun and 2nd in YPP under center. Sunday, Allen had the highest number of yards on play action throws in the NFL over the last two years. He should be under center a lot.

    That is until defenses figure out how to stop it. Then we can revert back to Shotgun. just keep adjusting. Its very nice to know he can play under center though, he struggled in 2019 I believe.

    I don't think the Bills will lose many more regular season games this year. Bucs? One of the Pats games?

    I've kind of given up on the idea of securing the one seed in the playoffs. The loss of home field for a potential AFC title game doesn't bother me as much, but the loss of the bye week sure does.

    Oh well. I simply don't see the Bills winning out AND the Titans losing two games, which is what would have to happen.

    Only thing that gives me hope is that I would have said the same thing last year about us and the Steelers. Then we did win out, and the Steelers faultered hard down the stretch. It can happen.

    Seriously. It's crazy how much the expectations change our perception.

    I think of Diggs as having a pretty bad year honestly. Hes 7th in total yards with a player above him that hasnt had a bye yet. If they find even 80% of their connection from last year he could be top 3 WR again. Its bad how spoiled weve become.

    We have to run the table & hope the Titans lose 2... it's not happening!

     

    Titans remaining games

     

    Week 11: VS -  Houston Texans (1-8)

    Week 12: AT - New England Patriots (6-4)

    Week 13: Bye

    Week 14: VS - Jacksonville Jaguars (2-7)

    Week 15: AT - Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3-1)

    Week 16: VS - San Francisco 49ers (3-5)

    Week 17: VS - Miami Dolphins (3-7)

    Week 18: AT -  Houston Texans (1-8)

    Pats, Steelers, 49ers could all be tricky. But easier than theyve played already

  9. I am not saying this will happen but...I think Sundays game was a big step for this team. Putting Josh under center, using 12 personnel, having Brieda on the field, etc.

     

    I think we added a shiny new club to the bag. With those formations worked on, we can switch from 10, 11, 12 personnel in the game (assuming injuries and inactives) to get stuff going.
