2021 NFL Draft Order (Non-Playoff Teams)
Albany,n.y. replied to Prepare to Die's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rosen was seen by Arizona as a bust who played so poorly they got the #1 pick in the draft. Tua won more games than he lost, there is no similarity between the two other than they both played for the Dolphins. -
2021 NFL Draft Order (Non-Playoff Teams)
Albany,n.y. replied to Prepare to Die's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Unless they view him as a bust who they need to get something for him before the rest of the league knows what they do, like Arizona did with Rosen, they are stuck with him and can't draft a QB at 3. -
I don't have a problem with Barkley throwing long passes with the Bills way ahead. He's a free agent when the Bills season ends this February and everything he did today was for his NFL future. If it was Allen doing this in the 4th quarter then you could blame the Bills, but when the backups are playing and trying to stay in the NFL, anything they do goes. Pulling the starters is enough, you don't have to handcuff the backups in one of their few chances to shine.

Why it was tough to be a Bills fan
Albany,n.y. replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It goes back a lot longer than this century. We were the league's laughingstock in the late 1960's, the mid to late 1970s, the mid 1980's and then the long drought mostly in the 21st century. The only times we've been good were the early-mid 1960s, the early 1970s-both eras when Lou Saban was coach; the early 1980s and the late 1980s through around 2000. There have been a lot of losing and mediocre seasons. Right now it feels like the late 1980s to us long suffering fans. -
Aight....who's got tickets?
Albany,n.y. replied to The Firebaugh Kid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What are the requirements when you buy tickets? Do you have to name the other people who are going with you when you buy or just give your own name that your season tickets are in? If it's just your own name I guess you could sell them but you would still have to meet them before going in & go in together since they are requiring ID of the named ticket holder to get in. -
I'm hoping that Malik Boyd & Lake Dawson both get GM jobs & we're swimming in 3rd round comp picks. Then the Bills should replace them with the brightest young minority candidates and keep developing those young executives and getting draft choices. The only thing I don't understand is why the team that hires the new GM doesn't get rewarded as well. Instead of two 3rd round comp picks to the team that developed him, they should make it one for the developing team & 1 for the hiring team.

Could we see Jake Fromm play this Sunday?
Albany,n.y. replied to gjv001's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just think, 2 years ago after Barkley lit up the Jets in NJ, a lot of Bills fans wanted him to play the rest of the season and wanted Josh to watch & learn. -

I remember when some fans who "saw Brohm play in college" thought we stole Brohm & he was our QB of the future. I had to keep telling them that not only had Brohm cleared waivers after camp in his sophomore season after only 1 season in the NFL, being ignored by some of the best GMs in the league, but how could they believe that Brandon had outsmarted every other GM in the league. -
The "Giving Him the Business" game.
Albany,n.y. replied to njbuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I forgot in my post that there was a time when one of the guys at work had Jets season tickets & would sell the Bills game to me. The best part about his seats were they were in the 2nd to last row of the stadium and right behind his seats was an empty space where a security guard was there throughout the game. Never got hassled while in those seats. Most of the time I've never had a problem at the Meadowlands stadiums. So far never at MetLife. The best way to park was at the old stadium I'd get there early & park as close as possible to the stadium entrance. Nowadays, I don't think I can park that close to the stadium and the best parking for me is near the racetrack where I can make a quick exit to Patterson Plank road back to Rt 17 north. Last year I went to the 1st two games since the Bills played in both. The Jets was a bus trip & the Giants was with my friend Petrino who drove the final miles from his place in Beacon. Parking at the Giants game was brutal because we got there when the lot was already packed. We waited until the lots were empty before we left. Later in the season I went to a Giants/Vikings game & stayed overnight in NJ so I could get there early & get a spot close to the exit. -
The "Giving Him the Business" game.
Albany,n.y. replied to njbuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was at that game. Back in those days, before the internet, the Jets would have a day before the season started when they would put scattered seat tickets on sale at their offices in Manhattan. None of the available seats were next to each other, but I could get seats back to back like same section, row 12 seat 14, & row 13 seat 14. If we got lucky we could find 2 empty seats next to each other in the area & move there. I took time off from work (I was living & working in Long Island at the time) to go to the Jets offices & was able to get seats in back to back rows. The thing I most remember about buying seats was the ridiculous price I had to pay to park in a parking garage near the Jets offices. A little over a year later I moved to Albany after the 1987 season ( I attended the 1987 season finale in Philadelphia where I was able to get Eagles tickets at the mall in LI) and then for a while I didn't get Jets game seats. In 1990 the Jets moved their offices to Long Island and sold the scattered seats at Hofstra University. I didn't go to any Jets home games in 1990 or 1991. In 1992 I had my father, who lived about 10-15 minutes away from Hofstra, get me Jets tickets to Bills games. He'd bring a portable chair & sit while he waited on line for the tickets. We did this for a few years until I either took a bus trip to Jets games or got tickets on the internet & drove down from Albany. -
I said he'd be in the Hall of Fame after opening day 2019 against the Jets. The real story is this: I was on a bus trip to MetLife last year on opening day. After the game, which the Jets had just lost, the Jets fan in front of me on the bus started saying how Josh Allen sucked and that he was inaccurate. I got mad & told him that Josh Allen would end up in the Hall of Fame. They laughed that day but are not laughing anymore.

Jets tell Gase he will be fired after next week's game
Albany,n.y. replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not if you had a guaranteed contract that says you'll still get paid after you're fired. Coaching is very different than most other jobs. -
We can do a go fund me to help him get back into Canada so he can play the CFL next season.

Ohio State QB’s and Us.- Update Haskins cut!

Ohio State QB’s and Us.- Update Haskins cut!
Albany,n.y. replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haskins lasted the same amount of time with Washington that Rex Ryan lasted with the Bills. Both let go before the season finale of their 2nd year. -
2021 Opponents are now Confirmed.
Albany,n.y. replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If you're talking finances, the worse the opponent the lower the demand for tickets, hence the lower the price. You're trying to have it both ways because once you bring up finances you have to weigh the demand of the opponent. If you want to see Bills-Chiefs any time in the near future you're paying a lot more than Bills-Carolina.
