The good thing about the way this lines up today is that the Bills will absolutely know what they need to do long before kickoff tonight. It could be like the drought ending season where they were finished and had to pray the Bengals pulled off a miracle an hour or so later.
A bit of joking and a bit of “is it really that hard to spell out Off Topic”? I mean does everyone have to talk like they’re in Junior High School? Sheeesh
I agree with so much of what’s been said on here. Since the NFL is television driven it’s hard to believe it makes any real difference whether teams play 17 games with one bye or 16 games with two byes and the rapid explosion of Fantasy Football and online betting has made most people’s ‘home’ team’s games even less critical. Nobody wants to see backup quarterbacks dueling it out in the playoffs. Give each team two bye weeks evenly spaced across the season strategically aligned with their Thursday night and overseas games. Done!
This shouldn’t be shocking to anyone. Costs are not the same across the country especially in construction/ real estate….and it isn’t because of graft. My home in Southern California cost way more than a standard home in either Buffalo or Nashville….or just about anywhere in the country for that matter. All you have to do is check out an episode or two of House Hunters on HGTV and you’ll be utterly amazed at the variation of home prices across the country.
So let me see if I understand your math. You add all of the cost overruns and inflation to the Bills stadium but not to the Titans new one? There’s no free lunch in construction and certainly not on projects as complex as these ones. Things cost what they cost.
Not anywhere. I’d be curious to see how people rank the other NFL stadiums on the Wonder of the Modern World thermometer. The only ones that might even make it on the scale might be Los Angeles, Dallas and maybe Minneapolis. The rest…..not so much.
Now let me say that I really don’t want to get ahead of anything here but who’s to say that if the Bills win and get the #2 seed that the Browns wouldn’t go into Baltimore and beat them in Week 2 thus putting the Bills at home throughout the playoffs? That isn’t at all far fetched.
