More importantly, if you’re not admitting the ball placement was botched, why are they announcing changes to the way they handle determining line to gain plays shortly after the AFC Championship game? Other than silly name calling nonsense what is your point? These gotcha interactions take away from the quality of the discourse especially when trolls are involved

The only thing you’re missing is. TJ has never been a featured back. He’s been an overachieving special teams guy and a 3rd down back. Minimal carries and receptions have kept him healthy and productive. He’s a change of pace back not a bell cow. He’s awesome at how we’ve deployed him but to shoehorn him into a run heavy offense is a crapshoot. Let’s see what Cook does in his walk year or offer him 40 for 3 years. With a nice signing bonus he won’t even hurt the cap that much. Remember Cook is only getting better and he probably will have more workload now with Brady being in his second year and knowing how talented he is.

“Old-man-yells-at-clouds-tantrum “ is that a special secret language with a secret handshake type of thing. First you trot out some silly little video with an imbecil giving his personal take on retractable domes. Have you ever even been in a stadium with a retractable dome? When you speak for the board does that make you feel relevant.? Glad I could help you find some self esteem.

I’ll take sterile over subzero windchills or snow.

Rather than ask about snow games you should proudly tell us that Buffalo had 92”of snowfall this winter and statistically is the snowiest NFL city with 20 snow days during the season. When long term planning is done for a 2 billion dollar project, it’s what could happen. Taxpayers are on the hook 850 million, and the overruns are on the Bills that they’ll finance over a period of years. Buffalo fans will absorb upgraded prices across the board to help with the debt service.I’m not saying that fans and corporate investors are consulted generally but if the prevailing sentiment is for a dome, the Bills should reward loyal fans, who have been stiffed for 40 years with an outdated stadium, with a state of the art NFL experience.

No they have translucent roofs and open sides that in Vegas are retractable . But their Stadiums are protected from the elements that make January games in Buffalo uncomfortable and not as enjoyable to watch if it snows. Tell me watching a game at SOFI or Vegas isn’t a great watch.

Your preference is open air stadiums but don’t dismiss the incredible architectural advances that are defining the newest and best stadiums to enjoy the NFL experience. The Atlanta stadium opened in 2017, SOFI in LA, the Vegas Stadium with a translucent dome and retractable sides, the Allegiant Stadium and the Arizona Cardinals Stadium. Now Cleveland is building a dome stadium. All the new northern stadiums will be some kind of dome except for Buffalo.

That’s right 2 decades ago, what was I thinking. SOFI in LA, Jerry’s place in Dallas and the Vegas state of the art Stadium. that are the envy of every fanbase. Perhaps you just love the idea of shoveling snow or drinking yourself into oblivion in order to keep from freezing to death in single digits. Don’t take me seriously just because every new northern stadium will have a dome including Cleveland, who got a new stadium this century.

The original post was about a retractable dome and how it would have been better for our first new stadium in over 45 years. Forget that we could have had a retractable dome for the same amount. The costs and who’s responsible is something that was brought into the conversation. That’s it.

What’s the point? Isn’t 850million enough taxpayer funding with another huge amount in loans to the Bills. My point was about not having a retractable dome where fans and corporate donors were not given input. Do you prefer an open air stadium for almost 21/2 billion. Cleveland on the other side of the Lake is opting in favor of a retractable dome, why not us?

The overruns are being loaned to the Bills, paid back over a long period.

Taxpayers are responsible for 850 million and the Bills were originally responsible for 600 million before the overruns.

Semantics, if they’re using technology to determine line to gain, it’s because officials are not doing it correctly and game changing screw ups are compromising results. You made it sound like since it was so close Bills fans shouldn’t use it as an excuse. If officials didn’t butcher the call do you think the NFL would have announced the change before even proposing it in front of the competition committee?

Ask Google or any search engine who’s financing the Stadium. Pegulas not paying for it. It’s 850 million taxpayers, 700 million between state and county. It’s already 200 million over appropriation projections. Hard to swallow huh.

Try taking some time to research the way the the Stadium is being financed. 850 million from taxpayers and another 800 million between state and county. Those funds from state and county could have been earmarked for other worthy taxpayer needs. The stadium is 200 million over appropriated funds. Also Buffalo is statistically the snowiest city with 20 snow days during the season. How many playoff games like the Cinn game or the games played in single digits do fans have withstand. How many times are season ticket holders going to be asked to shovel snow.?
