Albany,n.y.

I was at that game and because of all the no shows we were able to buy club level seats from a scalper for around $20. It was so cold I stopped on Rt 17 on the way down and got a wool face mask that I wore the entire game. When the game was over we left our seats and in the concourse we passed Ralph Wilson who had just come out of his suite. I still had the mask on & I yelled "All the way to the Super Bowl, Ralph!" I must have startled him because all he did was give me a look like I was out of my mind.

Somewhere between Lou Holtz & Nick Saban.

The Bills are 2-0 over the Jets on CBS in Albany. So far the only game not shown on home TV was a Fox game that was on the same time as the Giants. The Giants will never get bumped in Albany no matter how bad they are but when the Bills are good and the Jets are bad, they bump the Jets off the air.

I'm sleeping when they're on. I don't watch the pregame shows except for the Bills one that's on 11:30-12:00. I listen to the Bills pregame on the radio unless I have to go out to watch the game. When I arrive I watch whatever pregame is on for the Bills games. I go to OTB for Bills games not on home TV where they have individual booths (carrels) with your own personal TV. We get around 10 or more Bills games on home TV during the season-more later in the year if the Jets are really doing bad.

The NFL isn't the NBA

One more week and Met-Life will be declared a disaster area.

I think Darnold is a good example of my theory that a team cannot ruin a QB. Stymie him in a bad offense, yes, but ruin him, no. Darnold doesn't look ruined under a competent coach. There's a decent chance that Wilson will bust because he just can't play at a NFL level. It won't be because the Jets ruined him. It's not incompetent coaches an ruin QBs , it's incompetent scouting that overestimates a college QB's NFL potential. I recently had lunch with a group of people and one who stayed home most of last year said he watched a lot a college football and said Wilson will never make it. Take his opinion with a grain of salt but if Wilson busts don't blame it on the Jets. I don't usually love other people's misery, but I can't resist seeing Darnold succeed while Wilson fails and enjoy that it's happening to the Jets.

Go back and watch how he dominated vs Dallas on Thanksgiving day 2019 before the biggest road crowd and national audience of his career. Some myths die hard.

Staley repeatedly mentioned the wind in his post game press conference, and the most relevant thing about the decision was when he said that you put the ball in the hands of the best player, that player being Herbert,who he called the best player on the field this Sunday.. When a coach has a franchise QB he's going to trust the franchise over a kicker on a windy day on the road no matter who his kicker is.

Did you (I'm using plural form to all those who criticized Staley) notice what happened on the extra point? The wind that would have moved the FG to no good made the extra point no good. I had that game on next to the Bills game and originally replied to one of the anti Staley posts but it appears the entire thread got deleted (It was about Herbert). Everyone who watched the game and not the last minute completely understood that the correct call was to go for the TD because you couldn't trust ANY kick in that wind when you had the possibility of scoring a touchdown. Anyone who criticized Staley should never complain about conservative coaching decisions again. Staley showed what he's on the sideline and none of us are. PS: I have to admit my bias- I'm rooting hard for the LAC in every regular season game due to a futures bet I made that they win 11 or more games. This game meant a lot to me and as I watched it I totally agreed with the decision to go for the TD and make Mahomes go 75 yards in very little time than to try a FG in that wind.

It's not a disaster for the Bills. They already banked the money the tickets originally sold for. Ticket Exchange is resale of already purchased tickets.

This was the 1st game I noticed it. I had seasons in the 1st row of the club level endzone for years & after I gave up my seat I still could sit in one of the 2 seats my friend kept there until he bailed after 2018. However, even in the later years the people behind us would bang on the backs of the seats while I was trying to sit without being vibrated. I believe if you want to bang on a seatback youy should use your own seat. In 2019 I went to one game & had a club seat & it seemed OK. I looked at Ticketmaster & there are enough 1st row tickets available in the upper deck and even though it will cost more, from now on I'll pay extra & either get a resale ticket in the 1st row of an upper level or just buy a seat in the club. My friend who I usually go to games with is short & will appreciate not having people in front of us. I'm down to one game a year at Highmark so I won't mind the extra $ in order to sit through most of the game. On the other hand, I'm 67 almost 68 & maybe I'm approaching the reality that I'm getting too old to go to games because I've got some physical problems that are making it harder to go to games in the atmosphere that is at Highmark.

I've got a different take than the anti vaxers: I was in section 115 on opening day & I will never sit in the lower bowl again. All the people stood up for the entire game. I'm old & it gets pretty difficult for me to stand for an entire game. Until the other fans in the lower bowl learn some friggin manners people like me are either staying home or looking for seats in the front rows elsewhere in the stadium.

Bills owners Kim and Terry Pegula plan to pay for a portion of their share of any “public/private partnership” struck with New York State and Erie County to construct a new stadium by selling personal seat licenses, a revenue source used to help pay for more than half the stadiums in the league. “We will definitely have PSLs as part of a new stadium,” said Ron Raccuia, the executive vice president and lead negotiator for Pegula Sports and Entertainment, during an interview this week with The Buffalo News. “Every new stadium that’s opened since 2009 have utilized PSLs.” Bills to sell about 50,000 PSLs, season tickets The Bills’ least expensive PSLs in their proposed new stadium are expected to begin around $1,000, Raccuia said, and the requirement to buy a PSL will apply to every season ticket holder. A price range has not been determined. Raccuia said the PSLs will be perpetual and transferrable, meaning they will not need to be renewed and can be resold to a third party.

Fixed

The problem is he did play like baby Incognito. Baby incognito was about 25 pounds and got pushed around a lot. When he hit 300 it was payback time.

Actually Gregg's decision guaranteed a Houson victory. Culley's decision to punt rather than go for 3rd & 10 guaranteed nothing since it was early in the 2nd quarter of a tied game. The biggest Dummy is Gregg Williams.

It seemed like there were 2 main reasons why the Jets dumped Darnold for Wilson 1) Joe Douglas wanted his own draft choice at QB 2) The Jets wanted a QB on his rookie contract & Darnold was approaching a big pay day, or at least a big 2022 5th year option contract pickup. If you drop your QB to draft a replacement because you want more salary cap relief with a QB on his rookie contract without finding out if your current QB is good enough (because you gave him nobody to run the offense with) you deserve to continue to lose. That #2 pick was extremely valuable either to get an impact player or to trade for mutiple picks. Instead Douglas Jet-tisoned his QB for some pretty lame reasons & got a QB who he'll be lucky if the guy can become Darnold's equal. What the Jets did was very similar to the whack-a-mole approach the Bills used to take, losing or trading RBs & CBs & replacing them with 1st round picks they could have used to fill other spots instead of just drafting 1st rounders & replacing them with the same position every few years with a cheaper #1 pick. I had 2 broadcasts on last Sunday at 1:00 and even though I paid a lot more attention to the Bills game, I saw a dumpster fire watching Gang Green.

2nd time. We beat Houston 31-24 on 10/13/02. I still had my seasons in 2003 and was among the fans in the stands screaming decline as Gregg, or someone on his staff, accepted the penalty. At the time I said the Bills should fire Gregg that day.

Hardly the dumbest coaching decision ever. That goes to Gregg Williams & his staff on 11/16/03 when the Bills accepted a penalty late in the 4th quarter of a home game vs Houston with Houston ahead 12-8. London Fletcher was wildly waiving his arms while on the field to decline the penalty which the Bills coaches accepted. See, London knew the extra down would give Houston enough time to run the clock out-something Gregg wasn't aware of. Houston ended the game by running out the clock when Andre Johnson took the ball and ran it out of his own endzone for a safety with 0:00 left on the clock. Final score Houston 12 Bills 10.

Here are some things to think about: Remember the famous Belichick "On to Cincinnati" comment? Teams take time to jell every season. For years Brady & NE would throw a clunker in in September and when that happened the he's old & done crowd would chime in early then watch him win another championship. Speaking of Brady, last season Tampa started off fairly slow & didn't catch fire until late in the season & the playoffs. Don't peak too soon, build up momentum as the season goes on. Many Super Bowl champs weren't at 100% in September. When you're complaining about the Bills when they are dominating because the players aren't getting you enough fantasy points, it's time to look at videos of games during the drought years and then you might appreciate how much better this team is nowadays. If the offense isn't there by December, come back and complain as much as you want, just for now keep it in perspective that great teams peak in December, January & hopefully, February. Flashes in the pan peak in September & October (see Jauron & Fitzpatrick contract extensions)

You can probably do it at a private lot but I'm not sure they would let you in the stadium lots during the game. When I bought stadium parking for opening day it said parking was only for gameday ticket holders. They never checked as they scanned my parking pass but if they saw people tailgaiting in the 2nd quarter they might have security ask to see your ticket & either boot you if you don't have a ticket or tell you to go into the stadium.

The question should be how much will Flores send Epenesa as a thank you for knocking Tua out of the game & strengthening the case to trade for Watson.

They're the same people who weren't happy with Kelly & wanted Frank Reich to replace him and if they're too young to have been around in the late 1980s then their fathers were calling for Reich.

All the jokers complaining during the game on earlier treads should watch today's Jets game. I had both games on at the same time and Wilson was a hot mess. I had no complaints, I bet the Bills & it was never in doubt giving 3.5 points. When your team wins 35-0 and you're complaining it's time realize the difference between fantasy football where you're not getting enough points and a real football field where 35-0 is a blowout.
