Sounds as if we're in agreement then on the OP's point.

LOL, well, if we start separating people out, ... that's kind of the point. The NFL has circles from which it hires people such as those that this discussion is about. They rarely go outside of those circles. While many people have certain experience(s), the Peter Principle comes into play quite often. I can put my past drafting analyses up against most of our GMs, and there's no comparison, and I'm technically not an "expert" as is often decried. I don't follow your analyses closely enough, until this year, so I don't know whether you fall into the same category, but it's ridiculous to claim that anyone in a position that we're discussing, is automatically competent. I notice that you didn't mention Brandon or Whaley, who were anything but competent in their personnel decisions, particularly regarding the Drafts.

D'oh!

So for example, Matt Millen's really bright, much more so than anyone here? A little closer to home ... Russ Brandon? Doug Whaley?

LOL, and presumably that was Antonio Brown, maxing out his brain power and mixing it up with Kyle Williams. Too bad that one didn't escalate, it would have been fun watching Kyle snap Brown in half like a twig.

LOL, I'm in the camp that finds it interesting that it's even listed as a beer. I'm a Yuengling fan and I otherwise try to drink foreign beers. American beers are laced with glyphosate from the pesticides, which is toxic and carcinogenic.

Yeah, thanks. Don't think that everyone can do that for as simple as it is to you and I. You might be surprised. Anyway, I was just guessing at why 47. such an odd number, and prime number to boot.

Probably priced it at 47 so that the math-challenged wouldn't easily be able to figure out a per-can price.

Indeed. What is weird is that they say $8.80 in Buffalo. (and Chicago) Most stadiums charge a flat dollar fee; i.e. $8, $10, etc. Sometimes tax figures into it, but that should be part of the cost too and would make higher taxed states, like NYS/Buffalo, marginally more. But the sales tax rate to get to $10 from $8.80 doesn't make sense. I don't recall going anywhere for events, where beers and concessions are anything but on-the-dollar or perhaps on the .50-cents, unless the sales tax brings it to one of those. Some of those prices, ... 6.59, 8.63, 8.13, etc. just don't make sense. Also, 12 oz., half-liter, 24 oz.? Gotta be apples to apples. The Bills know that they have a nationally marketable product for the time being, they're going to capitalize on that in the most logical of supply/demand manners. It's gotta be refreshing for them in the Allen-era contrasted with the drought era.

So the price of a beer at Highmark is $8.80? Not $9 or $8? Anyone, ... that bought a beer there last season ... ? Bueller? And let's not forget the cost of folding tables.

Or if Diggs makes a guest appearance.

YES! Now let's get a coach that doesn't hold him back and see how much better the offense at large and he can be! Great post! Keep in mind however that Allen's a beast, even compared to Elway or Young, who were 6'-2"/3" & 215. Allen's 6'5"/237 and more athletic than either with an even better arm.

Money buys a lot of "justice."

He's probably being like an ostrich, sticking his head in the sand pretending that the Bills aren't there. Two losses a season since 2019 if we don't count that ridiculous heat game in which we outplayed them anyway. That's gotta leave a mark.

Who? This coming from a player that's averaged 31 catches for about 350 yards and 3 TDs/season. Oh, and he's on his fourth team in 8 seasons and played at FIU. Dude should leave the state every now and again. He should also be a little careful, his contract isn't of the variety that prevents him from being cut. Good luck trying to sell the nation on the notion that Buffalo doesnt have good Wings. That's like trying to convince people that South Beach is chock full of and dominated by heterosexuals. The "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste" fund. He's the poster boy.

Alas, our defensive side obviously involves coaching considering that it's in the playoffs. Last season, predictably, our rushing Defense plummeted. I have two issues with this. First, face value, we went pass-rush/D heavy, which worked, for the most part, but in the four games where we allowed the most rushing yards, we lost all of them. One being the KC playoff game in which Reid obviously knew this. Pacheco and Helaire logged 128 rushing yards and a TD on 7.5 YPC. That's horrific. Of the games with our 7 worst rushing yards allowed, we've lost 5, and the Giants posted a great game against us, controlling the clock to a 2:48 ToP advantage, in a game whereby we attempted to out rush them, not put Allen's passing on the priority list. We ran the ball 29 times and threw 30. Secondly, McD's take is that we need to establish the run to ultimately be successful. As idiotic as that is in today's NFL, if that's true, then why the lack of emphasis on his part on D for stopping the run? If that's the MO in today's NFL, they why only on our offensive side? (rhetorical) The problem is clear. Everyone knew, or should have known, that neither Bernard nor Williams were known for their run defense abilities. Last season our YPC rushing D plummeted from 14th the season prior, to 28th as a direct result. Milano is good, but he's not the difference in that run D. Von Miller sure isn't.

If we want to make some headway on this topic, it's important to look at the Scoring/Point Differential in the Playoffs. Since the same 2019 ... BUF: 250 (25.0)/238 (23.8) ... +12 ... per-game average +1.2 KC: 477 (29.8)/369 (23.1) ... +108 ... per-game average +6.8 SF: 284 (23.7)/251 (20.9) ... +33 ... per-game average +2.8 (Keep in mind, half of these games were with Garoppolo) BAL: 96 (16.0)/109 (18.2) ... -13 ... per-game average -2.2 PHI: 137 (22.8)/132 (22.0) ... +5 ... per-game average +.8 CIN: 163 (23.3)/132 (18.9) ... 31 ... per-game average +4.4 The thing to look at there is the PA. We're the worst. It gets worse. In the four seasons that we had the 1st, 2nd, 2nd, and 4th ranked Points Against/Scoring Defenses, we allowed an average of 24.7. That should be a clear indictment of the defensive side of things. The Chiefs' D ranked higher than 7th once, this past season. The Niners' D ranked higher than 8th only twice. The Eagles D ranked 8th once, after that, never higher than 15th. The Cincy D ranked 6th once, after that, never higher than 17th. The Ravens simply suck in the playoffs because Jackson sucks in the playoffs. Jackson in 6 playoff games has averaged 221 passing yards on 57.4% completions, 1 TD, 1 INT, and a horrific rating of 75.7. It's not at all difficult to pinpoint where our biggest problem in the playoffs lies. Correct that and we have a Championship(s) already with more underway.

PTR linked it above. I don't spend much time there, just know it existed. Hell, I don't spend much time on Facebook at all. LOL Einstein was quoted on there a few weeks ago tho. I forget what for. Someone dragged whatever he said here over to there.

... and the old ass and the young ass. Someone posted an updated seating chart in the Facebook group for this. I think he puts it up after updates. I don't pay to much attention, just recall seeing it.

What, one wider and padded or something like that?

How many different types of seats are there?

BTW, I know you're not that crude, no one is, therein lies the humor.

Come on now, ... don't get to serious here. 😏

The perfect scene for you there ...

Have Davis appears to be the hatee of choice. Not sure whether or counts that he's no longer with the team tho. 😏 OK, you can be Smails then.
