Has anyone ever gotten the impression that he lacks confidence? If anything, it seems like the opposite.

They're made for each other.

McD first has to prove that he can even beat the top seeds in the playoffs. He hasn't even crossed that bridge yet. He's already given one away gift-wrapped to our arch nemesis in '21 and hasn't even sniffed another. Until that pattern is broken the odds are greater that he continues to give them away.

That's the most puzzling thing. It seems that with us, sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and they're acting independently. Same thing with Hines, we trade for a prolific pass catching RB, talk about how he'll be used, and then don't use him, at all. ... as one example.

For $50k for Kelly and $85k for the Argos, one would assume so. The attorneys fees are going to be in that realm.

Everytime I hear about Evans, I remember the heat I took for insisting that he would have a notably better career than Watkins after that draft because he was a much better and far more complete WR. We could have had him all along instead. Or OBJ, or even Cooks.

He was an OK blocker, but he's not getting paid that much to block, as we all know.

His best game came after his injury, even then, 3 for 36. In his starts he averaged 2 catches for 17 yards. Even healthy he was pedestrian in the passing game, posting only 2 TDs, only one of significance, he posted a three-year low in 1st-Down/TD combos, and his 2 TDs were his career lowest and tied with his rookie season. Most puzzling is that they gave him that enormous contract, them used the 1st-round pick on Kincaid. Presumably for a lot of 2TE sets. But that didn't seem to work out so well down the stretch. Same with Hines & Sherfield & Harty, we always have big plans but can't seem to implement them, as if there's a disconnect between Beane & McD. It's reasonable to consider that the ever changing strategies on offense also aren't doing Allen any favors.

Ahh, there it is. Thanks I had begun to lose faith.

Becoming more so too with the expansion of the SEC & Big-10. Then with the paid players aspect of it also. As has been implied, any additional pro league would likely be like a giant practice squad seemingly.

Makes one wonder whether our not it's the same "for whatever reasons" why Diggs' yardage production was halved and his TD production was decimated. On a side note, Davis was the most productive playoff WR we had. Granted, that's a lie bar, nonetheless.

Relatively common sense, no?

To add to what you said, playing v. playing-well are also two different things. At 39 in his last season, Manning had 9 TDs/17 INTs. Granted, only 9 starts, but who wants more of that. Favre at 41 had 11 TDs/19 INTs. Marino at 38, 12/17 Montana himself had become average at best at 37 & 38, would he have played for average or below average money? Doubtful. Brady was also protected by both the new rules and the officials. Mahomes is now the NFL's darling. Hopefully Torrence, Bernard, Benford, or Oliver logs 1,000+ yards and 10+ TDs receiving. Seriously though, with this "complimentary football" thing that turns Allen into a RB, his lifespan is more likely to be that of a RB.

Tells his agent to call his wife. Who knows, maybe his agent is his wife.

Apparently they couldn't find any Jets fans.

Yeah, a few other people clarified that. Refundable too apparently. Thanks!

Well, fwiw, the survey pricing for between the 40's club-level anywhere, will run between $4,000 and $6,050 per seat. I guest that would be between $444/$500/seat and $672/$756/seat, plus the PSLs, which are also per seat, and between $11,200 and $24,450 per seat. End zones and upper deck corners much better obviously, but as with you, gone are the days that I'm willing to sit in the upper end zones or even upper decks. I cringe at the lower bowl secondary market prices if those prices end up being real. The least expensive covered/heated seats weren't too bad, but there aren't many of them. They're the mezzanine level end zone seats at $820 per seat plus a $2,100 PSL. I imagine that those incredibly limited number of seats will be in high demand. Most the cheap seats have no heat or coverage according to the survey. Maybe something has changed, who knows.

Thanks. I definitely recall reading that it was not refundable months back, maybe they changed it. Probably worth dropping a refundable deposit to catch a glimpse then.

Same here. I have a strong hunch that there's going to be a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth however at the sticker shock. Indigenous people continue to leave the area due to high taxes, I don't see this going over much better, particularly since nearly $1B of the cost came from taxes in one form or another and directly or indirectly. As with your earlier posts, I don't see any waiting list. Is there even one now? I share your take that brokers will buy them up for resale on the secondary market. If that creates a waiting list we'll see. Either way, I don't expect the fan reaction to be very positive. It seems as if a lot of people are entirely out of tune with the prices floated in their survey, and given the cost increases already, just months in, it'd be unwise to expect those prices to drop. Yeah, thanks for that take on the deposit. I guess I read it incorrectly. What you said sounds correct. I have no problem with them charging a deposit to take the VR tour. It would be unmanageable otherwise. I'm simply awaiting more detail pics of what the damn thing will look like, primarily inside. So far we've been handed nothing but general almost generic sketches. They've gotta know what the final product looks like, why are they so secretive about it. It's a stadium, not a temple.

True. To their credit, everyone would want a "free VR tour" if they didn't charge something. It had to be high enough to weed out those not seriously interested in seasons. And also in fairness, $150 will be nothing compared to the cost of tix for those that do buy them. I'm not taking a position on that one way or the other, I've been an aftermarket for the big games or games of my choosing guy for years now. I view this as much of a business as they do in terms of attending games. I don't like to be thought of as something to be emotionally bilked for a billionaire and the league of billionaires.

Maybe going forward, but there's very limited excuse for losing to them with Zach Wilson at the helm. There's zero excuse for losing to them in both of the last two seasons with Wilson at the helm.

Well, IDK, just reporting what they've said. Maybe they'll change it and it'll be free. I agree. But if you're definitely going to buy STs under the new arrangement, I believe that it's a deposit on your ST costs. Not that $150 will go that far. LOL I'm sure there's a link on TOS. The Bills are still seeking fans interested in signing up to be on the waiting list for season tickets at the new stadium. Those interested can sign up online, drop a $150 deposit and then they’ll be welcomed to the experience center after current season ticket holders. https://buffalonews.com/news/local/business/fans-still-waiting-for-a-virtual-reality-view-of-the-buffalo-bills-new-stadium/article_3b169834-7fd6-11ee-806c-a37a817c4a75.html So for $150 you'll be welcomed. LOL

That's kind of like saying he only made one mistake, unfortunately it was driving head long into a brick wall as if not using cruise-control or turn-signals was a problem. "13 Seconds" isn't simply a "wide right" thing. It was a fundamental systemic failure. Just sayin'. Agree, and it's not as if it's cheap tickets and free beer at games. It's a business. The only time that it isn't is when fans tell other fans to simply enjoy the season.

Also, isn't it a bit of a reach that this team wouldn't make the playoffs with Allen at QB, in the division that we're in. The Pats and Jets suck for the foreseeable future and have been mediocre at best otherwise after Brady left the division four seasons ago. Miami has no D and chokes in the playoffs. This isn't a difficult division, 5-1 should be the standard every season, not 4-2 each of the past two seasons with 3 losses to teams led by Zach Wilson and Mac Jones.
