It could definitely be Tourette’s syndrome… ticks often get worse in high stress situations. Can’t imagine a more stressful non-life or death situation than being an assistant coach AND Hoodie’s son in Brady’s return game, in what I imagined was the most watched regular season game ever.
Looks stressed out to me, nervous ticks galore.

Hey guys, just wanted to bump this thread to double check.
Me and my friend are coming from about 4 hours east of Buffalo for the Texans game next Sunday.
We decided to come Saturday and just get a hotel, so we could get an early start to the game from more locally to Orchard Park.
We decided to stay in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) thought it would be kinda cool.
Just trying to double check with anybody who might know, we can now get through, right? The stipulations are that you need a negative covid test within 72 hours, which we will get on Thursday. We are both vaccinated.
Are we good to both get into Canada, where our hotel is, and even more importantly to get back into the US on Sunday morning?
If you are American you can cross in both directions, the US is not letting any Canadians across the land borders.
Canada requires the PCR test to cross (typically more money)

There’s a fire sale right now on tickets, below preseason pricing.
Tons of $40 tickets out there in the ticket exchange. Losing 100% of the Canadian fans + whatever the number is of people who don't have 1 shot = great value for anyone who can still get to the game by gametime.

so the stadium will be at least those 6500 short of full?Depends if people can resell their seats. I haven't been able to sell mine for that one and I'm seeing a lot of posts popping up with people trying to sell. Usually lowering prices works but seats are already down to the $70 range on the ticket exchange. Pretty sad if tickets won't move for an October home game at that price.

They weren't there opening day either----97% seats filled anyway.
1. Opening Day
2. Pittsburgh Steelers and their travelling fanbase
Houston will be the interesting game attendance wise. Not a huge travelling fan base. Both shots needed. No Canadians. 3rd Home game and there are already cheap resale tickets out there.

Erie County is 65% vaccinated (NYS 70%).
That is 2 vaccinated people for every unvaccinated person.
That means there are at least 1400 fans waiting to replace those 700 (if not more like 14,000).
The ideas that there are equal "sides" to this, and that this policy is affecting a lot of people, and that the Bills will have trouble filling the stands, is laughable.
74.3% in the 18+ population (NYS) and that's the majority of the age group that goes to games.
These games are basically sold out, we're really talking about the resale market at this point... probably until December/January games and they don't usually sell out.-

I absolutely HATE the border thing, and you make a very good point. That would SUCK!
Do those seats not still end up getting filled in some way to a large extent?
The opener came close to selling out (97%) so most of them sold. I'm not sure if the WFT tickets will sell out* because the mandate adds a wrinkle that might stop another 10 - 15% of fans from going. With 10 - 15% of the seats not being filled by Canadians and 10 - 15% of the seats not being filled by the unvaccinated at some point you're noticeably going to see empty seats.
*sell out isn't really the right term, the seats are sold but will they resell or be empty -

Read a few articles about over 700 season ticket holders requesting refund before the deadline. I’m wondering if there’s enough time for the jabbed to fill in the gaps. A quick look on Ticketmaster looks like the resale tickets in particular have come down in price from when I was looking for mine.
The Steelers game according to ESPN had 97% attendance and didn’t have the requirement in place.
It's funny, no one wants to talk about the 6,500 Canadian season ticket holders who can't get over the border cause apparently we don't count, but I keep seeing threads pop up on Bills boards about the whopping 700+ who opted out. 700 will be noticed about as much as you noticed the missing 6,500.

How much will this impact overall attendance at home games?
Are we looking at significant drop in fans?
No. NY State shows 81.7% of 18+ have at least 1 shot and when the Ontario fans can come back Ontario is at 85% of eligible adults with at least 1 shot.
If you still have not had the shot you are in the small minority.-

But the massive influx of people starting around 10:45 through noon has made it difficult for regulars to actually enjoy their individual tailgates as well as the larger collective atmosphere. And the level of intoxication of some of those late-arrivals sometimes makes for hostility.
Will I miss those things? Not much. But I will miss our Canadian brothers and sisters big time.
Was getting damn near impossible to get back to our spot some games after 10:30 and we're not the closest spot to Kenny by far. Us Canadians are going to be missing you all big time.

I played many player and team props. Simple things like "will Josh Allen go over 21.5 completions?" Duh, yeah! Or "will the Bills score more than 13.5 in the first half?"
Cleaned up last year on shortest touchdown under 1.5 yards bets. Look for a potential high scoring game and a decent RB.

Looking for a little help here - I'm in one of the states that legalized online gambling, and we're getting inundated with promo offers from the big sites - Draft Kings, Caesar's, etc). I usually just do a little fun wagering when I'm in Vegas, but there's free money out there now so I'm ready to take the plunge. Example: Caesar's offer is "Bet up to $5,000 risk free." The small print: place a bet up to 5K. If you win, fine. Cash out. If you lose, we credit your account with the amount of the bet (up to 5K!). You can't cash that out, but you can place new bets and, if they win, cash out then.
I'd read all fine print and disclaimers around this point "If you lose, we credit your account with the amount of the bet (up to 5K!). You can't cash that out, but you can place new bets and, if they win, cash out then."
In the world of this lifelong gambler that is to good to be true and if it is true then get on it. Make sure there is no rule around needing to bet this amount X times over before you can start cashing out, or that the odds on the second bet must be longer than 1.5 - 1 etc...

It seems that he has a bigger issue with it this year because vaccinated players don't have to follow the same rules as the unvaccinated.
He actually has a good point to make, but he's not making it well and he strays from the point too often.
If an unvaccinated player and vaccinated player can both make another player sick then everyone should wear masks and follow the same protocol if the goal is to keep everyone healthy. That's his point, and on that point I think he's right.

Some of you guys are hilarious. No one we are talking about is getting cut. McBeane isn’t going to blow up the locker room by cutting Bease to send this message. Never going to happen.
Agreed, but if Beasley starts slow and has some uncharacteristic drops the spotlight and pressure are going to be dialed up to 100.

The biggest thing that sucks is if the Canadian Season Ticket holders have to put their tickets up for sale, that will open the market big time to Pittsburgh fans, and that sucks. At the same time, however, those tickets will be gobbled up easily on the secondary market.
There's no if we have to put our seats up for sale, we either don't go or we sell. My rep said about 10% of STH are Canadian, so that's probably about 6,500 seats that had to go back into the market. We could either take a lowball offer from the Bills and have them buy back the seats or we put them on the aftermarket.
Just look at Ticketmaster and stub hub every day, seats don't look like they are being gobbled up, they are stagnant. The Bills are charging $460 for a similar seat they offered me $100 for. The price of football in Buffalo is going up. Maybe the sales will pick up once Sept 1st hits. I'd rather the stadium be full and I hate missing another season opener, I just don't think it will be. Probably be about 68K actually in the stadium for this one.
-
I think the stadium won't be full, no matter what they announce I doubt 72,000 are there, About 10,000 to 15,000 attendees (15-20% of the total) of Bills' home games at Ralph Wilson Stadium come from southern Ontario and they won't be able to cross the border for this one.
Plus I generally peak at tickets for sale in my section every year for the home opener and this year the number of seats available has been going up week over week, not down, which suggests there isn't a great after market for tickets.
Steelers wise I think the stadium will be absolutely rocking with a fairly full house and a Bills win to start the season.

...or prices are too high and buyers are waiting for sellers to get realistic. 😂
Yeah but, the Bills charge on a game by game scale and the opener is charged at much higher than the other games.
You can go on the Bills site and just look at the seats that are at the Bills price, not resale... there's quite a few there now from Canadians who took the Bills offer to buy back their seats. I didn't take the Bills offer as they offered me $100 for a seat they sell at $459 for the opener.

Hello
New season ticket holder from
Canada here. Just wondering what the best place is to sell tickets to each game. I’ve posted in the tickets forum on this site but other than that am I basically looking at ticketmaster/Stubhub?
thanks
With the US not opening the border to us a lot of Canadians are needing to sell. Use the NFL ticket exchange (you can access when you log in to your Bills account online). I've been watching the number of seats for sale in my section and they are not moving so far. Don't know if that's just because it's not September yet or if it's because people aren't jumping at the chance to go.

Here's the article in case anyone missed it https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/2192415

""It was one of the lowest points I've ever been. I never even thought I could get (to that) low because I'm so animated. That hit hard," Dawkins said. "Even with the mental stuff, it hit every part of me. I was shocked that it can even hit that."
""I don't wanna scare anybody but there was moments that I was like 'I don't know if I'm going to make this.' I was down bad. I could barely move and I was just hurting.""

Go on to ticket master or the other too and one of the pages don't know which one says at the bottom currently only 3900 tickets available for the home opener
Oh OK. If you change the filter to be Verified from Bills only there are only 4 single seats left. The rest must be resale.

I was thinking of starting a thread about how it was better for our playoff chances if we lose this weekend but I couldn't pull the trigger.
