I dunno how to get a video to embed, but the canopy trusses are starting to go up. From the Bills FB page today:

Unless they’re in my contacts (where it shows the name) hellllll no.
Especially this time of year / election cycle.
Getting a LOT from Red Cross too — used to give blood regularly, nearly two gallons over several years — but started a med last year that’s on their ineligible list. They blood banks are really low in recent months.

Apparently all construction was shut down yesterday because someone found what they thought was a “hate symbol”?
It was subsequently reported in the story that it was in fact just an bonafide iron-working knot.
A day of work lost because of a knot? Must’ve been a manager or visiting suit who noticed and complained. You can’t make this stuff up.
🤷♂️🙄

Guy called out for help and the bystanders…. take out their phones and film the dude getting bitten to death.
This is yet another way to know that society is doomed.

Teams that are comfortable putting CB1 on Shakir and playing close to the line of scrimmage are gonna be our kryptonite and the Ravens just showed the entire league how to do it.
Gonna have to re-invent NOW or we are toast.Despite losing the game, we gave everyone the blueprint for how to beat Hurts & the Eagles last year and they’ve been 💩 ever since because they haven’t changed much.

Must be because he drinks Moxie (an old-timey sasparilla flavor that makes many people gag) soda in the booth.

Bills FB page posted a video of the stadium lit up. One that seemed to be walking down one of the to-the-field tunnels.

Great, so we’ve got two sides here for the last several pages arguing whether OP could / should or could / should not allow or, what, be forced(?) into growing its businesses around the stadium. No one here’s gonna change their minds. It’s going to be up to land owners, businesspeople, and the OP P&Z… or if it gets to it, possibly the state using some sort of eminent domain since that Supreme Court ruling awhile back. Who knows. Money will have to grease the appropriate palms.
What may be a more viable thing is that all manner of food trucks could come in if the Bills or property owners could / would allow that.
Personally, I don’t think businesses will want to move in and it seems like they’re not wanted.
Arguing this stuff is just moot.-

Having just replaced the roof and installing a huge new video board over center ice, it’s going to be *a while* before there’s any talk of razing & replacing. Sounds like a multi-phase spaced out reno. If seating is that bad, I can see that being next.

What made that call so bad is that in the future coaching clinics are going to use it to show how DB's should react to a last minute slide by a QB. Even though Ingram had very little warning he used great athleticism to avoid hitting Murray. That call needed to be overturned by NY in the moment. Instead the gross incompetents penalized a player for doing the right thing.
I mean… if they’re going to penalize even when a dude avoids hitting the QB like this — which the league has *said* they want to do — then you may as well really lay into him.A sky booth ref with replay access should have the ability to overturn terrible calls like this. They were doing that last year but this went unchecked.
Seems like they allow so many hits on Josh go unpunished but if we breathe on the other teams’ QB, we get the yellow. TBH I think this goes back to Jerry Hughes; the refs union hated JH with a passion and they’re still holding the grudge on McD for supporting him.

It’s hard to believe there has been no mention of Pegula significant personal burden with her mom…yet we have to hear about this woman’s piker gangster boyfriend who was tossed off a Miami balcony. Boooooo F’ing hoooo
Yeah. We heard about every Olympian’s brother or mom or cousin who had cancer for two weeks and I’ve watched several of Jess’s matches this fortnight and nothing.Sabalenka was dating another dude the NEXT WEEK. That’s coooold.

Nice comeback to get back in the match by Jess, but it’s just so hard to stick with someone who serves in the 120s. Sabalenka’s serve speed is higher than a lot of men’s.
Given the Russian (& Belarusian, not much of a distinction) state-sponsored doping program that has barred them from numerous Olympics, it wouldn’t surprise me if Sabalenka was roided up 💉 when she was young/er.
25 minutes ago, DapperCam said:Why does this other lady moan after every hit? Even after the ball is long gone she’ll do it, so it isn’t like when she’s hitting the ball. Seems like a distraction technique to me.
Definitely. A lot of the Russian gals do the screaming bit on every hit. Sharapova used to be the worst until they started threatening her with disqualification, before she was caught… doping. -
If that was called a horse collar, then what the hell was with the Eagles one on Josh last year that tore his jersey?

Doctor error & malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
And even so, its numbers are significantly low-balled bc doctors get to bury their mistakes.

Just fix the stupid collars that don’t come all the way around the neck.
Aside from the unnecessary black / dark navy outlines that look soooo out of place for what should be a simple & elegant design, the collars that have changed like 11 times since the Nike sets debuted are a 👎. One solution would be to just make the collars the same color as the rest of the jersey, like the ‘64-5 throwbacks did. Again… simple, elegant.1 hour ago, thenorthremembers said:I am not sure they were talking about a new home and away design. I am pretty sure they were talking about having a new alternate design. The NFL will allow all teams to have a third helmet design beginning in 2025. So I think the assumption or "rumor" here is you may see a new alternate uniform and helmet as opposed to all reds with the current helmet.
The rumors for the past couple of years since the end of the league’s one-shell rule for helmets have just been about when a Kelly-era alternate / throwback will appear. Josh wearing the alt helmets in the Red&Blue games have fueled speculation.
It seems like they might debut them for the final year in Rich/Ralph/Highmark1.0 Stadium, and if they DON’T do this, it will be a HUUUUGE error for the marketing & design dept. HUGE. It’s well past time as it is.

The first row at field level looks pretty high up.
Well… they have to infill with drainage piping & crushed rock layers, irrigation for the grass, soil, topsoil, and then turf it. That’ll probably raise it a couple-few feet.-

Article reports that Josh’s sister posted on Twitter / X earlier today that their mother’s father passed away.
Josh will not be attendance at Saturday’s game as he will be with family for services.
Fanrecap: Josh Allen to Miss Crucial Preseason Game After Family Tragedy
Given that when his grandmother passed a few years ago, fans donated to the Oshei Cancer Center in Buffalo, I’m sure a cause can be found in the coming days to let him and his family know that Bills Mafia stands with them.
