Does this also apply to flying over the New Stadium construction site? 😉

Agreed, and also somewhat expected. You search for years for a franchise QB and once you get one you’re essentially forced to surround him with younger, cheaper talent. Until that time you’re snatching up more expensive veteran free agents from other teams hoping to paper over the glaring hole at franchise QB.

When you see it laid out like this you realize how much turn over there’s been in the last couple of seasons from the entrenched ‘household’ names we’d all become accustomed to during this era of Bills football. Now gone are: Singletary Morse Gabe Davis Diggs Edmunds Tre White Poyer Hyde I know it’s all part of the business but it has to be weird for guys like Josh, Milano and Ed Oliver to look around the locker room.

Who hasn’t? Von had a nice sectional sofa with those fancy built in cup holders.

So you’re saying the Bills should invest in more robust ankle braces. 😉

Covid and football in one topic? The season can’t start soon enough! Or at least the Schedule release, so we can get back to our sweet spot, saying ‘we’ve been screwed again’ with a modicum of NFL science to back it up. 😁

Yes, and both Milano and Jones were on the sideline when we had the ball with the win in our QBs hands at home late in the 4th quarter and deep in Chiefs territory, right where they would’ve been if completely healthy. I know it’s hard for Bills fans to swallow but we simply blew it….again!

This entire discussion is chicken and egg. Players don’t come out of the womb as highly paid professionals. They don’t even come out of the draft that way. (The current CBA makes sure of that.) Instead players earn their status after five years of consistent production. So are there times when a random highly paid QB and WR are on the same team? Maybe. Maybe not. But the connection is not so much by design or intent.

Games start at 10:00am out here. 😉

I’ve told this story before: My son in law was a decent HS QB who went to the Jim Kelly QB camp from out here in California. Chad was the same age and attended the same camp. My son in law tells me Chad was a major head case and all the other guys there couldn’t stand him.

Hello? The Bills had just beat the Chiefs on the ROAD a few weeks earlier WITHOUT Milano! The never ending list of excuses this fan base can cling to is nothing short of breathtaking.

Bills fans can be pretty odd. I know because I’ve been one for SIXTY years. Milano suffering from a broken leg had nothing to do with going to London. Yes, it happened there, but not because he jumped out of double decker bus while sightseeing at Windsor Castle. Did his injury hurt the Bills….i guess so, but they still ended up right where they wanted be, playing the Chiefs in Buffalo with the ball in theirs hands, deep in Chiefs territory and the game on the line. And where would Milano have been? Watching from the sideline while the Bills offense failed to convert a first down, and then missed a field goal. It ultimately changed nothing.

And that happened because he was in London? The Bills went on to have a very good season, including finally getting the Chiefs at home in the playoffs, a full three months after returning from the UK. They just didn’t finish…again.

Maybe. If I recall the very next week, the visiting team flew there the same day as the Bills and won in London. Do I think they should’ve gone earlier….yes. Did the trip ruin the Bills season….no.

Thanks for posting! Looks like they continue to make great progress out there. Very different construction type than the current stadium. The new one is essentially a conventional steel braced frame structure (much like a typical office building) with seating risers leaning up against it. For the curious, the diagonal braces you see in a few areas are there to resist lateral movement (wind and earthquake loads).

Ahhh ….I must’ve missed the sarcasm

Curious…..if no deals have been made, how is that a hot market?

The fallacy that going to London destroyed the Bills season is another urban myth that apparently will be remembered as long as the Flutie v Rob Johnson debate.

The Bills aren’t rebuilding. They’re reloading.

It’s weird, right? I’ve still not seen anything about a release and they normally make a big hoopla about it. I’m guessing it won’t be this week.

That’s what I’m seeing everywhere but I’ve yet to see an advertisement on TV for the normal hoopla show surrounding the release….and if the date is correct, it’s THIS week. I’ve looked forward to it every year since I was a kid, almost as much as the Draft, and then I use it to plan my Fall travel schedule.

So does anyone know when the schedule comes out? I’m seeing updates on sites posted as of just an hour ago that still suggest it’ll be this Thursday, May 9th. Really?

He must be good….I’ve actually heard of him! 😉

But remember kids, being a billionaire doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re not also a moron. 😂

The resentment is improperly targeted. Don’t blame the Pegulas for taking the subsidy. If you absolutely must blame someone, then blame state officials for offering it. And I’m NOT saying that to be political. It crosses BOTH party lines.
