    4 Super Bowls in a row.....

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Although bittersweet I've always viewed it as an accomplishment because no other team in NFL history has ever done it before. I can understand why some Bills fans don't care about it. 

     

    As a fan of a team that's never won a Super Bowl the two major defining accomplishments of the franchise were the 4 straight Super Bowls and the greatest comeback in NFL history. The greatest comeback deficit was eclipsed a few years ago (I still think the Bills coming back in a playoff game was a greater comeback and story overall). It was sad to me when we lost that and I'll be honest if we lose the only team to make it to 4 straight Super Bowls I would be very sad about that too

    It's insane how far along Halloween decorations/displays have evolved over the years.  There's some people in my neighborhood that have Halloween displays outside that rival Christmas season.  I miss the simplicity of Halloween from my youth and sometimes I think things become too extreme in modern times but this isn't one of them.  I enjoyed driving around a bit tonight and seeing all of the displays out there.  I'm sure it has to be super cool and exciting for kids.  With all the craziness in today's world it's nice to see people embracing the Holidays

    Sounds like he was drafted more for next year, but I never heard of him referenced as a raw, developmental player. 
     

    Hes a compression/power DE, rotational player.  
     

    Thought to have a high floor and lower ceiling, but again.. DE3 hope as an effective rotational guy.

    He is AJE 2.0, including the red shirt year where they try to mold him into something.

     

    His role is to replace AJE as a rotational DE.

    Rotational players are Beane and McDermott's specialty

    I'm always looking for ways to not like guys that play for the Jets, but this guy never gave me a reason. Complete opposite actually.  Way too early, sad to hear.

    I mentioned this in the prior Nick Mangold thread but I wanted the Bills to draft him so bad. He would have fit in great in Buffalo

    Bills are just 4 games away from being the most patient fanbase in the Super Bowl era.

    My unwanted 2 cents.

     

    1.  Some here mention the Broncos firing Fox and brining in Kubiak who won the SB his first year.  Some mention Chucky replacing Dungy and winning his first year.

    ....the 2015 Broncos were a defense that doesn't get the same pub as that Buccs D or the Ravens great D...but it should....Go look at the box score...they drug the corpse of Peyton Manning to a SB Win.  

     

    In Dungy's case, his starting QB was Sean King...and he almost made that work.  Chucky, by coincidence or design...brought in a better QB in Brad Johnson who was better than king and he won with a combo of good O and GREAT D.  Dungy would go on to win the SB himself once he had a great QB in Manning.  I don't really think either of these two situations apply to the Bills.

     

    2.  I've said in another thread somewhere around here that McD is a fine coach...and he really deserves a TON OF CREDIT for overseeing the development of Josh Allen.  Allen was the ultimate project.  Think of how many teams have tried and failed on thise same sore of gamble.  They tend to run out of patience way too quickly.  The Bills and McD had a plan to develope Allen...they followed it patiently and it's paid off.  McD and Beane have had ample to time to get all the way over the hump.  Sometimes you've got the right people in place to take you from A to B or even C...but it becomes clear to get from C to D....you need different people, with different ideas and skill sets.

     

    Dan Reeves was a good coach who brought John Elway along to the point where they could get deep into the playoffs but couldn't win big.  Nothing against Reeves..he was a good coach...but the wrong guy to get a star QB to the next level.  Reeves proved his coaching prowess by taking the Falcons and a mediocre journeyman QB to the SB...and lost to the Broncos.  The Broncos hired Mike Shanahan...who hadn't done much as a HC with Raiders, but was known to have a good offensive mind....and they eventually won back to back.

     

    Firing McD and finding....as some have suggested....a HC with an offensive mind.....may well be what the Bills need.

     

    3.  It is worth noting at this point, McBeane has not drafted or FA'd well enough.  Not trying to be a dick here, but another reason KC keeps getting over the hump is due in part to the fact KC (NOT AT ALL PERFECT..plenty of errors) has drafted and FA'd at a good clip to keep things in good enough order to compete.

     

    Wanting to move on and put some different folks in at GM and HC to see if a better result can be achieved is very rational, and reasonable....and it doesn't mean the guys who took the Bills from the toilet to (almost) the top are bad.....it's just time for a change.

    That 2015 Broncos Defense was the last great Defense in the NFL. We haven't seen anything truly elite since then

    Oh I’m not denying there’s a market for them. I’d probably talk myself into getting mine. Lol, it’s more “why?”
     

    I can see a sports bar wanting to display them. I was at Tully’s the other day and I’m 90% sure they have old stadium seats in there somewhere. Maybe Bennigan’s will pull down some upside down unicycles and replace them with conjoined plastic chairs?

     

    It’s the personal ownership that I’m struggling with. I’ll probably get excited and waste money on mine. I’ll bring it home and put it in the garage until I “find a better place for it.” It’ll sit there for about 3 months before I start getting questions about “what do you plan to do with that?” After another 3 months I’ll start getting asked, “why don’t you put that in your office or to the curb?” Obviously, I’m not going to put it in my office because my office is nice and throwing a couple of random plastic chairs in the corner does nothing to elevate the aesthetic. Another 3 months will go by and the pressure mounts to get them out of the garage. After 3 more months, the walls have caved in and something will have to give. I’ll give them both to my developmentally disabled cousin who will think that they’re amazing. After 2 months my aunt will be all over him to get rid of them because they don’t go in his apartment. 3 days will pass and he will sell them on Facebook marketplace for $32 a piece. I’ll have to drive over to his house, load them in the car, and drive to a Wegman’s parking lot to meet the buyer so that my cousin can collect $64. He will put that $64 towards Madden ‘28.

    That's a pretty well thought out and in depth analysis of your potential purchase.  In your case I would avoid buying the seat at all costs!  I have a little Bills bar/mancave in my basement and that would be the only reason I would consider buying mine.  But even then I am struggling to find a spot down there where I would be able to display it as I am already pretty full.  If I didn't have a spot at my house to display it definitely wouldn't be worth buying especially for how much I anticipate them costing.  But yeah my gym has a couple seats from the Aud on display and there's def a few bars/restaurants in WNY that have old Aud seats and it is always pretty cool to see.  I am sure we will see the same thing with the seats from Highmark once the stadium is done

    Do people really want their seats? I have so many memories in that stadium. In many ways, it’s my happy place. At the same time, I can’t wait for the new stadium and have no desire to have some crappy plastic chairs at my house. What are you supposed to do with it? Are we supposed to just look at them and be like, “remember the snow game?” 

    I would say there will definitely be a market for them.  You can still find many old seats from the Aud proudly hanging up in bars, gyms, mancaves etc. all over WNY.

    If the price is reasonable I would like to get my seat however I'm not expecting the prices to be reasonable at all so not sure if I would pull the trigger on my seat.
