I just got an email from my Season Ticket Rep on whether I wanted strictly electronic tickets or the Season Ticket Debit Card they offer as an option. I always elect for the Season Ticket card but there's a caveat this year where if you select that option(first time this is a thing) there is a $15 charge that comes with it. I mean $15 is whatever but yet again there's a principal involved here where they are continuing to find every way possible to squeeze more money out of the fans. Guess they still aren't happy enough with all the extra $$$$$ they are making from these PSL's🤣🤣 I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am glad my time of being a ticket holder is coming to an end soon

*Got very lucky

Another thing I think people forget with Reich is how much of a positive impact he had on Kelly. Frank might not have had the same athletic ability Jim had but he was smart and would help go over things with him on the sidelines. Kelly has said many times having Frank out there was like having an extra coach for him on the sidelines.

Crazy to me Tasker is 62 years old now! 🧓 The years really fly by. He deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame

I think the general consensus amongst ticket holders is they are getting sick of the amount of night games we keep getting. It's just hard to do for people that work morning jobs. I usually don't get home until 2:30-3:00am from the night games. It's hard for those of us that are past our prime partying days to to get 2-3 hours of sleep and go into work hungover the next day and it's also hard to use up so much PTO time for the night games as you not only would have to use a day off the following day but your looking at using at least a half day the day of the game to get down to the stadium for tailgating. Me and my buddy both had a lot of stuff going on last year so neither one of us had extra PTO time to use so we had to sell all 3 Night games. It was easy selling the Giants game which was the first but it was a real struggle selling the next 2 night games.

It would be awesome if they saved it for the last game at the stadium in 2025

I'm on the WR train for this year but I agree that they shouldn't force anything and they need to look at this as they have two years to address these key positions so don't reach for any of them in this draft.

Yeah I didn't take your original post as you pounding the table for the guy but I was just making a general statement on my thoughts on that situation. I mean I would love to have a monster DE but this guy just makes me nervous and it's just a position we really can't afford to take a risk on. My opinion has been we are really looking at the next two draft classes to totally restock the cupboards and at this point I would prefer for them to wait until next year to go after DE

*Greed not growth

BRUTAL

The thing that makes me nervous with this guy even if he doesn't turn out to be a complete bust like Maybin but a JAG...we just cannot afford to whiff on another high draft pick DE prospect. If we rolled the dice on him we would need him to pan out as a legitimate NFL level DE and it just makes me really nervous.

That really was an incredible atmosphere at the stadium for that one. It was just as crazy if not crazier than any game during the Allen era

That sounds pretty awesome. I'm surprised this isn't being marketed more.

Frank Reich is the most iconic because of the comeback game and just for the fact he played a pretty significant role on the Super Bowl teams even though he was a backup. Diggs is the better player hands down no matter what biases Bills fans might have against him at this point. Fitz might have claim to the most lovable although that might be a tossup between him and Frank. Watkins isn't even in the ballpark for this one

That's the first time I've heard anything like that about the new stadium. Sounds cool. Can you elaborate on that at all?

The Super Bowl was always the biggest sporting event of the year for me. Probably still is...but I dunno over the more recent years it's starting to lose some of it's luster in my opinion. It feels like the entertainment aspect is becoming bigger and bigger and it's starting to feel over the top. There's something that feels more pure about the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Master's weekend for me. Obviously if the Bills ever made it back to the Super Bowl that would be the Number 1 sporting event hands down.

I went over to my parents neighborhood in the Wheatfield area of Niagara County to watch it. It was pretty cool, it was the neighborhood I grew up in and I still know alot of the neighbors that live there and a lot of people were out in their yards and driveways hanging out to see it. No elaborate neighborhood party or anything but just enough excitement to make it something of an event and it cost me $0. Drove by Gratwick Park in North Tonawanda earlier and it was jumping with a huge crowd and food trucks, DJ's etc...even saw a little petting Zoo with Horses for the kiddos. I wasn't that hyped for this thing going into it but I can see why it was such a big deal and I'm glad I at least went somewhere to take it in even if it was very lowkey.

I think I heard somewhere(possibly Sal C on WGR?) that he is going to continue to do his softball game

In the long run we are going to be fine. Are we going to experience some growing pains without all of these guys this upcoming season? In my opinion, Yes. We have no idea what to expect out of McGovern as a starting C for the first time in his career. I expect there to be some communication issues amongst the new safeties as they take over the reigns. I trust Beane to hit on some draft picks this year but there's always that rookie learning curve where you have to keep your expectations reasonable what those guys are going to come in here and do right away. I think there's alot of fans that lean on the highly optimistic point of view thinking we are going to be this highly upgraded team this year where I see it as more of a growing pains kind of year although I do expect us to be pretty competitive. We have too much talent to be a bad team.

I think Beane has been fairly criticized for the mistakes he's made but he has done a lot of good too. What do you want? To fire him? That would be a huge mistake

Who thought that!? LOL

That was a hell of a run to be a Bills STH for

Meh. It's the media. I wouldn't let their thoughts on anything ruin your day

This Diggs-Allen thing has brought out the worst in everybody lol. Glad to be moving on

As someone who is more than likely giving up my Bills tickets once the new stadium opens up I am toying around with the idea of picking up Bandits season tickets for this reason but I've never really followed them so I'm on the fence. To be determined...
