The prices didn’t seem too bad. Like $120ish upstairs, $200ish downstairs. We were here last year: https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/bnash-renaissance-nashville-hotel/

I’m all for second chances when guys make mistakes. This is especially true for young guys. With that being said, he’s been out of the league for years. When last seen he was fat and out of shape. He felt entitled to that NFL job. Now maybe he’s been humbled and will do the things necessary to EARN that second chance. The next step there is this CFL contract. If he goes out and shows that he can play still an NFL team will welcome him back. The ball is in his court now.

I’m the opposite. You don’t get to enjoy the good without surviving the bad. This holds especially true for the Bills who’ve long suffered. Our loyalty through those down years and heartbreak make us who we are. That’s why we are the greatest fan base in all of sports (and I believe that). No one rides with their team, good or bad, like we do.

They just won’t refund you or give you a credit if the game isn’t played or no fans are allowed. That was the point. If people are concerned about that, as they should be, you need to buy from the team or a large reseller.

I have a flight but no tickets yet. I’m like @Virgil in that I fell in love with Nashville. I vowed to not miss a Bills game played there. It was so much fun last year. We play there again in 2021 too.

Did you buy tickets yet? I booked my flight but didn’t get a room or tickets yet. The Venetian/Palazzo is my favorite and there wasn’t anything available. Vegas is so hit and miss for me. I’ve been 6 times, loved it twice, hated it twice and twice was indifferent. In my head, it will be IMPOSSIBLE, to not be fun for the Bills game.

That’s such a weak argument. We don’t know what will happen with Chase Young until he plays a game technically. He is WAY more likely to have double digit sacks than he is to have less than 5. I don’t need him to play a season to realize that. I can look at the skill set and project. It’s the EXACT same with the QBs. Again, we aren’t projecting them to be Patrick Mahomes. We are projecting them to be better than Chad Henne!! It’s not that the young guys can’t handle it on their own. They just want to make sure that they don’t ruin such a big investment by throwing him into a bad situation like the Bills did with EJ. I don’t think that he was ever going to be good but they did him no favors. If Rodgers went down tomorrow for 1 year the Packers would be way better off with Love than those teams with the scrub vets. It’s the opposite of what you’re saying in a lot of ways. I’ve seen enough of Matt Schaub to know that, at 39, he’s not dangerous. The rookies are all potentially dangerous. They will ABSOLUTELY make more plays than the scrub vets because they have more talent. In a scoring league, you need need your number 2 to be able to generate points still. The playmakers can do that.

Enjoy it!!!

The Saints are Belichick-level ruthless. Warford has been to the last 3 Pro Bowls (although this year on reputation). He was serviceable but BAD in the playoff game. They were like “yeah, this isn’t going to work” and drafted his replacement.

I have and I have. I used it in Houston for the playoff game.

...and Love could have been a top 10 pick. They are definitely similar as prospects. Allen came in and played after 1 half of the season and held his own. He WOULD have been one of the best backups in the league if he wasn’t immediately a starter. There’s no way Love would be any worse than guys like Chad Henne, Hoyer, Chase Daniel, Colt McCoy, etc... Those guys have a history of mediocrity and no chance to be better. They have never been better than okay and don’t do anything physically, ANYTHING, better than Love (or Herbert or Tua or Hurts). That’s a weird hill to die on. If you want to argue that you’re better with one of those guys or as Schaub or any other low ranked QB go for it. There isn’t a team in the league that would rather have one of those guys than the rookies. Those rookies are all more capable today than those trash vets. The only vets worth $.10 on that list are Keenum, Brissett, Jameis and Dalton. You can have Mariota and Trubisky.

So was Josh Allen...

I don’t know when you look up and down that list there aren’t 4 guys with more ability then Love. He will also be stepping in on a team that won 13 games. He can’t fall much lower.

Stubhub will guarantee them. A lot of these resale sites will at this point. They’ve learned over time that if they can’t guarantee them they can’t get traffic. Now I agree that I wouldn’t go to Vinny with the sign on the street corner but you won’t have any issues with Stubhub.

Did you look at Vegas yet? I booked flights for the home opener, Vegas and Nashville last night. This morning I looked at tickets. Vegas was starting at $350!! The next cheapest ticket was $427. Now I expect them to come down some but damn. I’d buy now. If they start without fans I doubt that they finish the year without them. If the Bills are in the mix those prices will go up. I’m sure that you’ll get refunded or a credit if fans can’t attend.

This is where I’m at. If I decided that I hated OJ enough that day I could add Thurman instead. I know it’s not a popular opinion but I would have Kelly as one of the 4 best players on the Super Bowl teams. I would have him on Mt. Rushmore though. He represents so much about the team in community in the way that his real life has mirrored that resiliency.

Too high: Henne Schaub Finley Too low: RG3 Kyle Allen Mullens

They need to get rid of him now before it’s too late!! He’s going to poison the locker room. Clearly he doesn’t want to be in Buffalo and I say good riddance. We need more guys like Fred Jackson and less guys like Zack Moss. We need guys that WANT to be here!!

I did laugh at the guy that thinks they will start 4-0: @Bills SF at home @indy Denver at home They will be a 6+ point underdog in the first three games and Denver is pretty good.

I think we could have without Vegas being the previous week. There are a lot of people in a “one or the other” situation. I wish that those were further apart.

Let me know on Nashville. My sister may come but I don’t know who else is going with Vegas being the week before. The Nashville flight was so cheap that I just booked that too. It was $118 roundtrip on Southwest. Nashville is amazing. We will get after it

We partying?

Booked for home opener, Vegas and Nashville!!!

I went 10-6. They will be somewhere between 9-11 wins IMO. They will win the division.

Then that is your reasoning. You think that they will be good because of BB and their defense. That’s reasonable. “They are good because they are always good” isn’t reasonable. We can only judge on these players, coaches and schedule.
