BillsfaninChicago

I live in Chicago and I can report that the Lincoln Park Neighborhood has not one but two Bills bars so he is well liked here!

No I do and I also said he will be remembered as one of the greatest athletes of all time. I said the excitement behind him doesn’t match the excitement behind other all time greats of athletics like, Jordan, Ali orGretzky. I said he was the greatest just not the most compelling of the greatest. A minor distinction but I was pointing it out.

I was really sad to hear this. Years I go I saw some clips of him playing and I actually had never seen a QB of that size play professionally before and he was actually pretty productive so I remembered Googling him and found he also was a really wonderful person off the field as well. Thoughts are with him and and his family.

I can’t say I agree with your first point when you have Nate Peterman starting the game. If he was in a climate controlled environment he would be throwing more and we know what happens with him. The second point I do totally agree. To build a 700 to possibly 1 billion dollar stadium because on a rare occasion you think you will have home field advantage would be silly and while I did say i loved watching crazy weather games, the caveat I didn’t mention was I liked watching them on TV most of the time and not taking the brunt of it in the 300 sections (something I have done for well over 25 yeas of going to games but usually avoid if I am going to make a trip home now). Like I said though when they do decide on the stadium whether be it dome, retractable, or open air, I am going to be stoked!

Maybe I am just getting old, or probably just biased...or more likely a few too many whiskies, but while Brady is an amazing athlete he doesn’t seem like an amazing athlete where everyone gets excited about or rallies behind like Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky. He has dinked and doinked for 20 seasons and he will be remembered as probably one of the greatest athletes but he is Ringo Starr of the greatest athletes.

I love watching games when the weather is crazy. If the 2017 Colts game were played inside I doubt we would even remember and more than likely we would have lost that game with Peterman and I think Joe Webb at QB and would be going on a 19 season playoff drought at this point. Because of that I voted no roof. Having said that I live in Chicago now and only make it to 1 or 2 games a season so I don’t really have a dog in this fight. Either way I am going to be excited that WNY is going to have a 21st century sporting venue and even more importantly this will solidify the Bill’s future in WNY and we can all watch Mike Florio cry like a baby about it!

There is no such thing as bad publicity why don’t we just throw the Fyre Fest of Super Bowls. We can advertise 5 star hotels and then when the time rolls around we can just set everyone up in tents down in in some camp grounds in the Southern Tier.

I loved Beebe and I also loved NFL films with the late great Steve Sabol but man they did lay it on thick with their production value back in the 90’s. You would have thought they were going into Thunderdome the way they talked.

This is going to be an exciting training camp and preseason. Mckenzie is another reason!

It looks like Cian started the weekend early. ?

I love this thread. Not a single post is even remotely defending the Ryans. I honestly think if we really want to unify the country about one thing we can agree upon we should have the Ryan’s coach every major sports team in the country. This would finally unite us all.

Well I say PFF still sucks. Take that!

The worse draft in my Bills fan lifetime was the 2000 draft but looking at this 2016 was closer to that than I realized.

Dumb people have always existed this is nothing new.

Meh, I have been to Lucas Oil a couple of times it might just be the fan base but it is a very quiet stadium, like being in church. Really not to exciting architecturally either. I am planning to go to Jerry World for the Thanksgiving game so maybe that will provide the excitement DNA of this stadium. Having said that if this is true it is really awesome news because it truly and finally solidifies our long term future in WNY.

We in a way had that no GM model from 2001-2017.

To be honest, if it isn’t going to be the Bills any other AFC team except for the Patriots works for me. You be you Melvin!

Ouch Why did Roberts get McCargoed?

Our long national nightmare is over!

Man this one is up there with the Kenneth Davis Helicopters lost us Super Bowl 25 theory.

The fact that it got you so triggered is pretty funny ?

Yes. Was that supposed to be sarcasm?

The evidence I have is my Madden 99 Game I played in high school when I was able to pick up any players I wanted for my 19-0 Bills season. Bruce had like over 100+ sacks that and Reggie was sadly relegated to special teams play. Case closed.

Why don’t they just keep playing in New Era Field and when Goodell calls just don’t answer the phone or if they do just tell him we are building it but it is a super secret stadium and no one can see it until it is finished.
