    I wonder how many season ticket holders never go to a game, but only get seasons so they can sell individual games and make a profit.

    Remember that Season Ticket Holders have had to pay full price for 2 pre-season games each year and those seats have almost $0 value, you might get $20 for one if you're lucky.  So they are behind before the home opener is played.  The last 3 or 4 games each year are often tough sells for people, the Bills weren't great for a long, long, long, long, long time and most people don't love cold weather games. 

     

    I doubt anyone who has had to pay face value for Bills tickets has been making much profit for a while.

    Even though they say that sales won't start until 8 tonight, I was able to buy a ticket through Ticketmaster this morning.  

    You can go to the Bills website, go to schedule, then hit ticket purchase and review the map.  There are some tickets available in sections not highlighted, so click on wherever you want to sit & see if anything is available.  

     

    Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

    Sun • Sep 12 2021 • 1:00 PM

    Highmark Stadium — Orchard Park, NY

    Sec 115

    If you toggle off the verified resale option the only tickets actually from the Bills are club seats.  Maybe not how it was earlier, but that's how it is now.

    I just hope Eric doesn't require us to use the Excelsior pass.  

    Hopefully it all comes down to whatever the Bills require.  We don't have the Excelsior pass in Ontario and there's a better chance that more of us will have shot #2 by September with the US stepping up and pledging to send more shots to Canada.  Hopefully the Bills adjust to this and the lots adjust to what the Bills do.

    Well, first...some of us would have to be able to cross the border, to get to the game! 🙄

    Yep, and when we can I'll be there no matter what the rules are.  I can't imagine even contemplating reasons to not be there, we've waited ages for a team this good.

    I am just curious.  I was actually going to make a full payment on them tomorrow as my annual bonus hits my account, but then I got an email yesterday stating more info on your season tickets will be sent to you next month.  They never sent me an email like that before.  I am just curious what is that all about.

    I can only guess,  my guess:

    1. They want to figure out if they will sell additional single game tickets or if they will delay that until later in the year

    2. They want to see if the league drops the requirement to tarp off the first X number of rows

    3. They want to know if stadium capacity is going to be limited before letting people add seats to their accounts

    Not a Dr/Not a Dr... but I assume Mr Mahomes will be well acquainted w Mr Toradal. And perhaps some other Messrs.

    I just can't imagine it working, maybe after I see him roll out to the right and hit Kelce 20 yards down the field without flinching all while having Jerry Hughes barreling in on him I'll believe it.  For now I don't think it will work and he's going to be subpar.    I'm a bigger believer in him being un-phased after a concussion than I am in him being un-phased after a pinched nerve.

    This 100%.  My instant reaction when Mahomes went down was "SWEET JESUS LET HIM BE OUT SUNDAY!!"   

     

    If it was Josh I'd want him to sit.  In both cases we're talking about the longterm future of the organization.  It's not worth risking the longterm future for one possible win right now.  Also, if it is a neck injury and not a concussion that has to impact Mahomes ability to throw the ball.  I actually think playing with a neck injury would be tougher than playing a week after a concussion (depending on the severity of the concussion)

    FanDuel has Gabriel Davis anytime TD 10-1 which is about double the odds at some other books. Scored a TD last week that was called back due to penalty so like this play at that number.

     

    Good spotting - hopping on that bet, and I got 26-1 on first or last TD which was begging for a small bet.

  9. My gambling account was $0 on Jan 1st. 
    Played poker free rolls for 6 weeks and managed to win $24 in a free roll where I ran hot.   
    Ran that up to $150 before football season started all playing cheap poker

    Ran that up to $320 after the Bills win Sunday

    then ....

    Placed a live bet on the Chiefs when they were up 6-0 and had the ball around the pats 23.  All $320 to win $23.  No worries it was about to be 13-0 Chiefs.... then they lost the ball and the game was a cliffhanger for too long.

    Won the bet... I'm never doing that again!

    One thing that was obvious during the game yesterday was a few clear as day f-bombs heard from the field.  I get it's football, there are no fans and it's easier to hear what's going on (in many ways, it's a positive to have more sound from the field), but something the NFL should probably address.  If they can pipe in crowd noise, there should be an easy fix for this.  


    I run a website and we send out emails.  A few weeks ago a couple of swear words snuck into an email we sent out (they were in images in the email).  We received two complaints about it.  The next week we apologized for the swearing and we received 246 emails complaining about apologizing.  Swearing is here to stay.

  11. Wonder what the turnaround time is for the Bills, from when they get notice that fans will be allowed to reacting to the news and having everything in place to welcome fans?  There would need to be time to offer tickets to the top say 10K of their list, then for people to accept or refuse the tickets, time to re-offer the tickets, get staff in place etc..

  12. The big one for me is abuse.  I'd give people a one week ban on first abuse, a year on the second, and lifetime after that. 

    I'd make the first actions fairly light (I consider a 1 week ban from posting only light) but I would make the follow up actions more severe.  At that point the person has received a short ban, been given all of the rules, and chosen to ignore them.  People like that are tedious to deal with and take the focus away from football.

    Real glad you are tackling this, I've found this place unbearable lately and spent most of my time on a different board.
