  1. The wind (confused or not) will also have a big effect on which seats far below get wet. From the FB pics you can see the 2nd 3rd level are actually covered by the overhang above - these are surely included in their percentage calculation of covered seats (although on the other side it looks like these levels might not be outdoor seating but maybe suites or club area) This is cool - thx for posting
  2. Yeah - the great thing about Fredonia is it used to be so unstructured and you used to be able to be so close to the players and move so easily around to where different groups/players were
  3. I told my wife Stefon Diggs was going to the Patriots. Her response: "Oh, that's sad for him" 😆
  4. I'm rooting for him. I did think it was kind of interesting it felt like he came in at 100 for PC "It's so great to be here!" - seemed to be wanting to set a real over the top positive/optimistic tone, knowing that the suspension questions were sure to come
  5. That's a good summary. Regarding Hoecht, they were in for him long term, even knowing the details of the suspension. Beane was not 'clueless' regarding it - he accepted it and the consequence of the 6 games he would miss to sign the player. And since Hoecht will likely play a role as a rotational 'chess piece', it's not like they are losing an every down starter for those games. For Larry, you are talking about a depth lineman. Once again Beane went ahead with the deal even after finding out - at the same time the player did, and even before the league did - because in terms of FA depth linemen he didn't think there was anyone else worth signing out there so he just decided to do it, and he might have even considered the cap savings based on the situation to actually be an added positive. Esp for this player the Bills will be drafting likely multiple DTs who may be better. Now those rookies (and other depth players) will play the first 6 games and it will be seen what they can do. After the 6 games they may determine Larry isn't better and act accordingly. In either case I don't think it shows Beane is stupid or clueless- they were calculated decisions (which included his assessment of the character of the players and circumstances of the suspension). And the loss of either of these players isn't going to put us at any huge disadvantage for the first 6 games. I think many are reacting to the headline "Bills sign two FAs who are suspended for PEDs!!!!" on a surface level of 'optics' vs actually considering the real events and actual consequence
  6. Injuries aside, who they keep will be based on how players perform in 6 regular season games - you can't get a better indicator than that. Hoecht is a lock to return to the team after suspension, but Ogunjobi to me isn't as clear cut. Would they keep him over someone who is playing well in real games based just on what he showed in TC/preseason.
  7. You mean he didn't need to put Matlock and Magnum PI on the case? 😛
  8. Not sure if he has actual inside info, but Cam Wolfe just said on NFLN that the Bills "did have early conversations with Von and they are still interested in bringing him back. Bosa deal probably decreases the chances a little bit, but if Von is willing to come back at a lower number they have not ruled it out"
  9. From the thread - Rapp may have competition 😛 "He friendly fired on a few reps last year and I think that was his downfall here. I kinda liked his play before that but the last staff’s guys are almost gone"
  10. I was like OK this time I'll play and try to find Waldo - then immediately see Bosa near the top and I'm like Oh Cool - then I saw it was Nick 😛
  11. The multiple moves Beane made to acquire picks and move up to get in position to get Josh before and during that draft was a masterclass
  12. They fired the previous in anticipation of this move :p. They only need 10 more staff for this one player
  13. Daryl Dimes?
  14. Feel like this guy is going to become a fan favorite. Aside from potential on the field - comes off very down to earth, and the 'local' connection - can tell he really has a fondness to the area he was born and where his family is.
