If they were so loyal they would go to most of the games. Teams are fine if you re sell a few games. It's when you go to only 2-3 and sell the rest to pay for the tickets that's the problem. To be fair they aren't the Lions aren't the first team to do it and they won't be the last. I can see it happening when the new stadium opens.

They are being proactive. Especially after that Lions fan had his tickets revoked from selling them. Don't be surprised when some Bills fans get the same treatment for selling their season tickets going forward. https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-revoke-2025-season-tickets-for-excessive-resale

I'm not just talking trading picks. I'm also talking about spending big in FA as well. Use void years and restructures and go after multiple top tier guys. I'm of the opinion next season is next season and worry about then. I'm not a fan of being competitive every season and hope to catch lightening in a bottle. I think with how close they were why not mortgage the future with picks or cap space and give the team the playmakers it needs.

@SoTier why the eye roll? It's true, there is a big part of the fanbase that doesn't want to mortgage the future. I'm not saying Beane won't make moves, but he's been reluctant to give up multiple draft picks to make a move.

Maybe it's time the used picks to trade up and get one of the top ones in the draft

To be fair, that's how this regime runs it and I don't see it changing. A lot of the fanbase likes this as they know each season they have a chance.

Probably none of the other high end guys either. My guess is they continue to build through the draft and maybe sign some mid tier guys to fill out the roster.

Yes it can backfire, but that shouldn't stop them from trying at again.

Money can always be manipulated to make it work. Who cares about 3 or more years down the road.? I would rather they take a chance to win now, than trying to be competitive every season.

They lead the league in scoring last season. I don't see a repeat happening as they mostly played non playoff teams and had a higher than average turnover differential.

Pegula needs to open the pocket books.

IMO the Bills should strive to do the same. Sure they will take a step back for a few seasons but in the end it was worth it for a Super Bowl

Somehow the Eagles made it work. Restructuring contracts and add void years like they did. Other teams make it work. For some reason this team refuses to mortgage the future.

While this season the offense was one of the best. I'm not sold on them repeating those numbers. They played a lot of non playoff teams this past year and they also got a lot of help in turnover department. IMO spend picks to get DK, add a top FA for the D Line and CB. Mortgage the future and try to win this season.

I agree if the plan is keep the cap workable for the future seasons. The way so do it is restructure guys and add void years like the Eagles did. If that means a few seasons from now the Bills are back to a mid tier team having to win out of make the playoffs so be it.

I never said the defense needs help cause they definitely do. My ideal off season is trade of DK Metcalfe, sign on of the top DL in FA, sign one of the top CB and safety's in FA. Structure their contacts with to push the cap hit down the road. Try to win a Super Bowl this season.

I have no problem with the deal at all. It is a very good deal. My point was more that while he is a very good player, he's not as great as some make him out to be.

Now I'm understanding why so many disagree with going all in and giving away the future. While a Super Bowl would be nice, having a chance to win each season is better.

That IMO is going to be why they may win 1 Super Bowl if everything goes right but most likely won't win one. You need elite talent on both sides of the ball to win a Super Bowl. A lot of those elite playmakers come with egos. Give me an AJ Brown who will pout when no getting the ball but will make big plays over a Shakir any day.

I can get there with the chiefs. My point is yes Shakir is a really good WR, I don't think he is game changer like AJ Brown, Chase or Marvin Harrison Jr is. That IMO is why the Bills struggle in the playoffs at times. It goes for both sides of the ball. They are a team full of good to great players but don't have those game breakers that other teams have.

Why is everyone so against paying top dollar for an actual number 1 guy?

You actually think Shakir is a top 3 WR on either of those teams? He's a good player, just like the majority of Bills players. Outside of Allen, none are game breakers. They are mostly really good JAGs.

That's good to know. If you look at their bundles for FuboTV and you want all the sports it's $80 a month. It's a rumor that it will only be on Streaming. What is happening is all games can be streamed as well as be on network TV

That was close to happening with a couple of them for just sports but FuboTV fought back against it. I can see the next contract being with Netflix, ,ESPN+, Prime and Peacock. With no network TV having it. It will cost close to $100 a month the watch the NFL. To be fair the NFL is the last major league to be mostly on free over the air TV. NHL, MLB and NBA are rarely on free TV.

We shall see. If you want to blame anyone for what's happening it's us. As soon as we started cutting cable, the companies were going to find a way to get that money.
