Double up on the armor and have the AK safety off

I know your feelings already. Agreed. BUT, I think he could get the axe if we make the playoffs and get beaten badly in rd 1 or 2, like KC beat us in the AFCCG. That loss was 💯 on the coaching staff. This past years lost was a combination of a few things imo, coaching included.

Make it a bullet proof full body helmet

I feel this is just the beginning unfortunately.

Just like most debates, there are statistics that help prove both sides of an argument http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance/_/year/2017/sort/homePct sort by home percentage and then check each season. They started keeping track in 2006. We were dead last that season. We haven’t finished in the top 1/2 of the league once. 2010-29th 2011-29th 2012-26th 2013-24th 2014-24th 2015-16th 2016-23rd 2017-24th 2018-28th 2019-17th 2021-21st i don’t care enough to spend anymore time on the subject. I get your point. I too enjoy an open aired stadium more than a dome stadium. I only attend maybe 1-2 home games a year, so my opinion really doesn’t mean anything. I just don’t believe that are home attendance is very good compared to the league. The stats prove it

My frugal buddies love how much we show up. They paid $30 for playoff tickets last year.

But I read here that it was Levi’s fault. He even admitted it! Are you calling him a liar? end sarcasm. depending on how the season ends, I think McD has at least this year and next year….. but if a great HC candidate becomes available…..this could be his last. Payton? And is Payton really that good?

My relatives would much rather attend the games in person. Especially playoff games. The games that matter the most. But they can’t due to the weather. They didn’t vote, but they told me they were furious when they found out there is no option for even a retractable roof. Lots of people who attend games didn’t vote. Mostly older folks that don’t pay attention to online polls and such.

👍🏻 you can’t expect all Bills fans to be all Kool Aid all the time. you can expect many bills fans to be all booze and will only sip the koolaid when we get a Lombardi. PTSD is real in some. until the team has achieved the goal (a goal that was certainly achievable the last 2 seasons), people will have reason to look for reasons why we’ll fail. last year, I felt that we should’ve about added someone @ cornerback. I didn’t think had enough speed at the position. I wasn’t wrong. I also felt that we needed another TE to pair with Knox so we can be more versatile and run more multiple sets. We ended up with a 4th rd Pick OT as our TE2. I wasn’t wrong. i felt that Mongo was a bum and shouldn’t have been resigned unless he was a backup C. I wasn’t wrong. i wasn’t happy with our investment in the OL. we lost a couple games (and home field advantage) thanks to our OL All of my worries had a hand in our season ending. Going into this offseason, I felt that we needed to upgrade pass rush, CB2, TE2, add some playmakers and improve the OL. An upgrade @ RB or adding Tremaines potential replacement would be Cherries on top. Beane checked almost all of the boxes. that said, if this upcoming season were to end with a Loss, I think we may be discussing the OL play or WR depth as then reasons. I hope Kromer can be a huge difference maker and that both Diggs and Davis can stay healthy to play in the playoffs. this is what we do on message boards. 😘

Don’t talk legit facts in this convo. You’re supposed to make up facts to prove your point….. like Tee Higgins definitely wouldn’t have made a difference.

You’re right. No one is forcing anyone to go. They may also be preventing many fans from attending by not putting some sort of roof on. Most of my aunts and uncles live in Dunkirk or Cheektowaga. All 70+ years old. All die hard fans since existence. None of which would consider attending a game in terrible weather at Highmark. Hopefully they’ll be able to construct the new stadium so the elements won’t be as brutal.

Gotcha

Not sure what this has to do with the talking point.

No offense, but I think this is a petty post my friend. A Badol-like post. A pot shot out of nowhere for no reason aimed at air but meant to be received by a handful. They are mutually exclusive. I’m super excited—— but I also acknowledge our lack of depth on the outside. When your team is stacked you look for potential weaknesses. Boundary depth is a potential weakness. Our offense is fueled by its passing attack and winning the Super Bowl is the only positive outcome the season. Can we win the SB without Diggs or Davis? Idk. Gabe Davis hasn’t been able to stay healthy as a backup, now we’re counting on him to play 💯 of the snaps. You really can’t see why some are worried about the depth?

Agreed- I’d just add: Can Shakir win the return job.

I didn’t see the poll. I’m sure that there are “many” Bills fans that would’ve liked a stadium that has the ability to close a roof for certain weather situations. I didn’t say a majority or even close to it…..just many. That’s all.

he doesn’t have to be a great player. He doesn’t have to be fast. He needs to be smart and to have good instincts. He’s competing against Dane Jackson. What do you know about him? Except you really have no idea what his reasons for not yet signing are.

At least you have Jordan Love!

Read up thread. This was rehashed because WEO brought how great the 2020 packers team was. The same team that he said wouldn’t make the playoffs that year.

There are hundreds of thousands of bills fans……many wanted a dome. Many didn’t. I think it’s safe to say that a large number of fans wanted a dome. It doesn’t have to be proportionate to be “many”. Just a large number.

I’ve always dealt with working 12 hour days in 110 degree heat. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t prefer to be working 12 hour days in 70 degree temps. I dealt with it because I loved my job and the money. Many dealt with it because they had to. Not because they wanted to. There was never a choice in the matter. Even now, with a new stadium being built, the fans had no choice. Many won’t be happy with not having a dome. But they’ll deal with it because they love their team. Let’s hope they improve the comfort level during the extremely in-climate weather. It surely must. If not, one must wonder

I said….before you change the premise….. I didn’t say that you did. yeah…..Jordan love caused them to improve. Die on that hill. Please. I’m stuck arguing that Jordan Love was a terrible pick and they may have won a super bowl if they had drafted someone else. Do you have a packer friends? I do. We discuss this multiple times per year. They agree with me 💯. Most people agree that drafting Jordan Love is a debacle. But die on the hill that Jordan Love made the packers offense better. You’re insufferable…… I said that someone else MAY have made a play. MAY have made a difference. Why is that so hard to understand? You’re saying that Tee Higgins WOULDN’T have made a difference…..,you don’t see how what you and I saying are completely different? I’m not claiming ANYTHING to be true. I’m saying anything definitively. You are. BIG difference. it was fun. Jordan love. Great pick. ✌️

Because WEO and I have discussed it since it happened. you can defend whatever you want. Analytics shows that drafting QBs with a first rd pick is the smartest use of a first rd pick. As a team that I thought was very close to winning a super bowl, I thought they should be going all in to help AR win another SB. Instead, they drafted his potential replacement. Worked out well. Number 1 seed 2 years in a row. Two losses in one possession games. Games where all it takes is one play to change the result. Jordan Love contributed nothing and they lost. They MAY have one a super bowl if they would have used the pick elsewhere.

You have no idea what Tre Higgins or any other player would do. In a one possession game, all it takes in ONE play. A first rd pick is capable of starting and making one big play. But you can pretend to have a magic crystal ball. We aren’t pretending to know anything other than the packers made a bad pick that MAY HAVE prevented them from winning a super bowl. While you LITERALLY MAKE STUFF UP. to try and prove a point. cole strange wasn’t on anyone boards as a first rd pick. Yet he was picked in rd 1. EVERY year, there a handful of guys taken in rd one that were projected by most to go rd 2.

You have no clue what it prevented them from doing…..THAT’S the point. We KNOW, for a FACT, that the packers didn’t win either of the last 2 Super Bowls after wasting draft picks on Jordan Love. We aren’t saying that they absolutely would have won a super bowl if they had drafted someone that would have actually contributed……we’re saying that they might have. They were a top team both seasons. Both of those seasons ended in a one possession game. Don’t pretend like you KNOW they wouldn’t have won a SB if they drafted someone else. You don’t. But continue pretending. again…..before you change the premise…. We aren’t saying they would have won a SB….we’re saying that is possible that they may have. The only thing that we KNOW….. after two season…..is that drafting Jordan Love was a bad pick for a team focused on winning a super bowl. You disagreed at the time…… because you said the packers weren’t that good and we’re pretenders….. not contenders. But you were wrong. Yet again I’ll be the first to say that allen is better than Rodgers….but Rodgers played a very good niner defense in 1 degree weather. I’m sure you can use other examples other than “their last game”.
