  1. Who are you talking about, "she" making the cover of Sports Illustrated?
  2. You disagree with each point, good for you. Did you bother read to the end of my comment on Allens arm (sarcasm). And yes, the malls were never going to be empty either. We shall see how stadiums evolve, if you can only see the present that is up to you. Things evolve and change, some people can foresee a different future, others cant.
  3. Ok Captain Hindsight, a year ago I dont know if NFL players "knew" he could play but the J Allen narrative has changed 100%, or maybe 75% in the past year. Irrelevant now, we have to see how he does, hopefully progressed this year.
  4. My favorite Steve Tasker moment was in the stadium The Meadowlands. not sure if it was the Jets or Giants m(pretty sure it was the Giants because the crownd was dead and didnt hear that Obnoxious J E T S J E T S Jets chant but he caught a punt and the three yard rules was not enacted/enforced, had gat absolutely walloped and didn't fumble. I have looked for that clip but o yard returns on a punt is hardly highlight reel material.
  5. Only entering year three yes I doubt the Bills were ready to give up om J Allen but he was far from proven. I can certainly think back then with the arrogant (justified) smug Tom Brady thinking exactly like that re J Allen. What J Allen did in 2020 did QB quality play strides is hard to fathom/replicate. I cant think of any QB in the modern era making incredible progress as he did. Tommy Maddox?
  6. I wouldn't in any shape way or from try to second guess Brady's psychological motives, he doesn't have anything left to prove. Amazing how Brady does these interviews now, i find it hard to believe he would say these things under Belichek, has to be and incredible relief. Talk about one way to really stick it to the Belichek, go to Buffalo.
  7. On Morse, talk about rolling the dice. With his concussion history i would have a real, real hard time paying him as much as we did and continuing his career at all from a personal standpoint. When he had his concussion last year, I thought he would hang it up. Amazing how "our Bills fans collective mindset" has changed. In the "old days" (two years ago a 6th or 7th rd pick was set to be a future HOFer, (Michael Jasper and a long list of WRs). Now we expect them to be lucky to make the practice squad.
  8. Not any but a lot of teams. Honestly think back a year ago, It could have been the Bills because J Allen was hardly a "proven" QB at that point (hope like hell he is now). That is of course assuming Brady would even consider "lowering" himself to even consider the Bills, dont think he is ego would allow it.
  9. This makes a LOT of sense. I listened to Cowherd saying it wasnt Las Vegas but i thin his rationale was weak.
  10. If we knew EXACTLY when that interview was filmed we can better ascertain who he was talking about with the draft and all the QB moves.
  11. Dead right about our interior O Line, that is why I selected Jack Anderson. I had to look up Forrest Lamp. he sure does look interesting. I wish i knew how solid the Chargers O Line was to let him go as he started all 16 games last year, actually lead the league in total snaps last year.
  12. Because he was needed later in his career especially as wear and tear took its toll on our receiving corps late in the season and the playoffs.
  13. No not get rid of it but try and Justify a $ billion stadium used 10 times a year with overpriced food, drink, parking and hassle when many will be watching games live on cellphone anywhere you want to with no fear of contracting the black plague.
  14. Isn't that why we drafted Allen because of the brutal wind and weather of WNY just like Wyoming he could cut through it with his strong arm? (Sarcasm) How many times a year does weather really impact games with the Bills, maybe 2 a year? Things are different post-covid regardless. Going to be hard to justify expensive stadiums that are used 10-12 times a year especially now that people have gone an entire year not in the stands. And technology will only make it easier and easier to watch remotely, from a convenient place. Stadiums are going to be like Malls in 20 years, nice antiquated monsters from a bygone era.
  15. Yep, for sure. The Houston Texans have ALWAYS sold out very home game and easily sod their PSLs. Now that the team is a disaster, fans detest management/ownership and they were have a very tough time selling out games this year. And the mighty PSLs which had real value are mow at risk "forcing" PSL holders to buy season tickets.
  16. Virgil you are spot on. I have been to several games at Jerry's world...yes nice seats great food, pelntiful bars & restrooms BUT it totally lacks the ambience of the Bills stadium. It is so large it is like almost being outside, you can barely hear the crowd and I end watching most of the game on the massive overhead TVs. I think most Bills fans such as myself would hate and impersonal stadium such as that. Complain all you want about the current stadium but it is near perfect imo for the Bills, a great reflection of our history and culture.
  17. People are really jumping to incredible assumptions with this post. I am waiting for the inevitable post about how wonderful a Super Bowl would be in Buffalo. ANY fool can go and hire a consultant, makes total sense what the Pegulas are doing, spend a million get some consultant in and if nothing else get your fan base excited over a POSSIBLE new stadium. I would say the odds of a new stadium for the Bills in the next 5 years have gone from 0.5% to 5% with the hiring of these consultants. These consultants are going to survey potential sponsors, any consultant can do that. Are they magically going to revitalize WNY economically and find find sponsors for a new stadium? How long did it take to get a sponsor just to name the current one.
  18. Oliver-Yes he was the 9th overall pick and the Bills were thrilled he dropped to them but many "experts" had him as a top three pick. Personally I think he is a great man and will be a good pro, never be a great pro and live up to all the hype. He is not huge nor super quick so I never saw him as a great pick. 50/50 we pick up his fifth year option. Ford-Have we officially given up on him as a tackle, I assume we have. We again were also thrilled he dropped to us but had had injury issues. I think if healty he will learn concentrate on the guard position and turn into a quality starter. Singletary-I think the Bills learned that a RB can be exicti8ing and dynamic but you can't overcome his lack if speed and is small. A good player, will never be great. Cant explain his rookie success, think that was an anomaly, hope I am wrong. position. I agree, he plays his four years and then is gone or stays very cheap. They drafted Moss for a reason. I think if he gets 500 yards running this year would be the over/under. Knox-I will swallow his hand-eye technical help and thin he can improve "his hands". Clearly has the heart to play the position, will learn to blaock better and know his assignments better (think of the mistakes he made in his first playoff games for the Bills), he certainly wants to improve and think he will. So i am optimistic about Knox & Ford making big strides. I think the over drafted on Oliver and Singletary, jury out on Ford and Knox.
  19. He won college football championships, one for Minnesota and one for Notre Dame? How many college player won a championship for 2 different schools?
  20. Andy Dalton? Dalton in college or pros never had a completion percentage even close to what Jones had at Alabama.
  21. Tua doesnt have an NFL arm, imo, from what i saw last year. Just like Mac Jones this year, played for the semi-pro Alabama team against inferior competition can hide a lot of QB flaws. IMO Tua NEVER did have a high ceiling. I am stunned Dolphins didn't draft a QB high, i think they will regret it big time,
  22. I was using hyperbole to empathize my point, I think i realize he was not the "world"s most accurate" passer.
  23. I think Mac Jones is the most "interesting" of all the NFL draftees this year. Is he totally crumble under defensive pressure on he retains his Alabama magic as the world's most accurate passer, i could see either scenario.
  24. Yes it is a bold choice, that is what I was aiming for in a "dark horse".
  25. From my experience, if the Saints suck (they will) you will definitely get a cheaper ticked t by then UNLESS the city is invaded by Bills fans. Where is your Airbnb? I would recommend either Uber/Lyft or United Cab. Driving around NOLA is not easy, you wave to know how to negotiate the median grounds, the trolleys, brutally dangerous neighborhoods if you make a wrong turn.
