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.

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.

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.
-
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.

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.

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.

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.

What do you expect from our 3rd year players?
RoyBatty is alive replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Andy Dalton? Dalton in college or pros never had a completion percentage even close to what Jones had at Alabama.
-
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,
-
I was using hyperbole to empathize my point, I think i realize he was not the "world"s most accurate" passer.
-
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.

Anyone been to a game in New Orleans?
RoyBatty is alive replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
Anyone been to a game in New Orleans?
RoyBatty is alive replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I went to graduate school in New Orleans and stayed for almost 20 years, I have probably been to 50 saints games. They CAN be very nice and/or they can be incredibly;y obnoxious rude drunks. If the Saints are in contention and the game is close they will be downright vicious, especially in the cheap upper deck. The ones sitting in the expensive lower seats, more money, are on average very nice. A Thanksgiving game, oh boy. That is probably the WORST time to visit there if you are going to a game. That is the same weekend as the Bayou Classic so the stadium, and hotels, especially the cheap one will be full. The Hyatt adjacent to the Super Dome gets trashed after every Bayou Classic. If you are going I would consider booking my hotel NOW!! -
The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
RoyBatty is alive replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LOL EJ Manuel has nothing to do with the Tremaine question but keep at it and I never said or intimated Tremiane was a rookie but if you want to twist my words to advance you your agenda go for it if it means that much to you. You dont like him, I got it, we all get it over and over and over again. -
The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
RoyBatty is alive replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
EJ Manuel was 23 when he signed with the Bills, Trumaine is now 22. So you are you going to insist that EJ when he signed wasn't young? You lose. -
The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
RoyBatty is alive replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Yes the two are quite different, I never claimed they werent. I stand by what I wrote, a 22 yr old pro football player by any reasonable definition is a young player.
