  1. I didn't know how to use it & get in but if you have ticketmaster tickets you can bring up your event & go save to phone. It takes you to the Google pay download & after you download it the ticket is in there if you save it to the phone-at least that's how I think it works, I just found it by trial & error. Then I bought a parking pass & had to do the same thing. They're both in a Google Pay app now.
  2. One other thing. When I 1st wanted to switch to a mobile ticket I didn't realize I could just hit a button & change it from a "Smart Ticket" to a mobile ticket. So I tried to transfer it to myself & it kept rejecting it because you can't transfer a ticket to yourself. I even tried a different e-mail address. Then I went to my account in the Ticketmaster site on my desktop & immediately saw the way to change the ticket. For a while I was going back & forth between the computer & my cell phone.
  3. I stayed away last year because I wasn't sure how Covid would affect things but in 2019 I had the same philosophy & killed with seasonal futures bets on the Bills & I ended up winning 4 of the 5 Bills games I bet that year.
  4. I expect the Bills to go all the way. I even put some future bets on the season so that if the Bills win the AFC I'll have most of, if not all the money to cover a Super Bowl ticket. I bet the Bills to win the AFC at +550, then, since I think the Chargers will go 11-6 or better I bet the Chargers to win greater than 10.5 games. Now I'm going to have to be patient because the Chargers schedule is front loaded with most of their toughest games. They could be right around .500 at the midpoint of the season, or even a game under it, but they should win most of their games in the 2nd half when the schedule gets a lot easier. I'll get back over $3,000 if the Bills win the AFC & another $3,000 if the Chargers win 11 or more games. Even if the tickets end up being $7,000, I'll be pretty close with my futures bets if the Chargers come through for me. If the Bills don't win the AFC, I won't need Super Bowl money anyway.
  5. Age of consent in NYS is 17. Is she still considered a child when she is at or above 17?
  6. Hoyer knows he's good for 2 real paychecks the 1st 2 weeks of the season & then he's either going to be signed to the 53 or released. It's better than nothing. As long as Jones stays healthy BB can do this for 2 weeks with Gilbert & 2 more for the next 2 games with whatever bum of the month they want to sign to the practice squad for the next 2 games. After that Stidham comes back from PUP & then they sign some other younger street free agent to the practice squad. Who knows, by then Nathan Peterman may be available for the Patriots practice squad. and they may have been right. Stidham is the only one of the 3 collecting a full paycheck from NE every week.
  7. She needs to be suing Ralph, not the Bills. If you think he was cheap when he was alive, he's really cheap in the great beyond.
  8. I don't know of any team doing what NE is doing-having their 2nd string QB on the practice squad with only 1 QB on the 53 man roster. Hoyer's not being re-signed like the Bills did with Freguson. BB did the same thing with his PKs part of last season, calling them up from the PS on game days & not having them on the 53 man roster. He doesn't have to be on the 53 man roster to be active on gameday, they just need to use one of his call ups, but if it's the same as last year each practice squad player is oly eligible to be called up to a certain amount of games. After NE uses up Hoyer's call ups he will either have to be added to the 53 or they'll have to get more PS QBs if Gilbert uses up his call ups too.
  9. He has his 2 backups on the practice squad & will probably keep them there until he uses up the callups on Hoyer. He also has Garrett Gilbert on the PS after Dallas let him go. Not surprising that he has pulled off another legal way of getting around roster limits.
  10. They don't plan on a lot of extra points, field goals or kickoffs.
  11. The 1st thing I thought of when Josh signed his extension was that I probably won't be around to see his entire career. I think a lot of us older fans thought that along with the sooner they win the Super Bowl the better chance I'll get to see it. For years, when the Bills were in another rebuild, I would preach patience and always said about the current group of players: I was here before you & I'll be here after you have retired. Well now in my late 60s with some of my parts breaking down, I realize if they don't win it soon, I'll never see a Bills Super Bowl victory. For some my age they think they have a long time left. Some of us do & some of us don't. I'm one of the ones who most likely don't. I have a pretty good idea what will kill me, so I'm not just talking gloom & doom. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's real. When the Bills win it, think about the people you know who didn't live to see it. I'm sure most of you know at least one & possibly a lot more, and be thankful you were alive to see it happen. I know as long as I'm physically able, I'll be in the stadium when it happens and it will be one of the best days of my life.
  12. Of course he's good-he's already cashed a $2 million signing bonus this season and he gets to keep every cent the government doesn't take.
  13. Come on man! There are about a thousand posts explaining why he'll be back tomorrow.
  14. Any team that wants him doesn't want to pick up his Patriots contract.
  15. The Jets would have been better off sending that pick to Jacksonville 2 days earlier for Minshew. When a team has 2 guys as backups who have never played & the only player to play in the NFL, UFL, AAF, & XFL -traveling man (and ex-Bill among many stops) Josh Johnson, they could have used Minshew as their primary backup.
  16. I totally disagree, as do all of his teammates on the 2019 Bills, as well as the people who played against him who voted him 87th after his 2nd season. In 2019 he proved to be a leader and a winner. Yes, he made some dumb plays playing hero ball too much because of a weak supporting cast, but if you couldn't see his development I'm glad you're not a Bills scout. There's a reason nobody was waiting in the wings: The Bills management & players who saw him every day loved him & could see development. Instead of dwelling on mistakes they saw the guy who took over games, sometimes all by himself. Go watch the Dallas Thanksgiving game in 2019 & tell me he didn't elevate his game on what to that point was his biggest stage, playing before the whole nation in one of the largest capacity stadiums in the league. Beane proved from the day he arrived that mediocre QB play wasn't going to cut it with him. He knew he had to upgrade from Tyrod on day 1 & I have no doubt that if he had even a modicum of vision through your pessimistic dark colored glasses, he would have hedged his bets on Josh. The fact that he didn't is more evidence that you are flat out wrong in your pre 2020 evaluation of Josh. Sorry, but I don't buy your premise since the Bills teammates, management & the rest of the NFL players disagee with you & the rest of the players who played against him weren't wearing Bills rose colored glasses. A lot of us saw it too. Beane & McDermott saw it & in the 2020-21 offseason they made sure that he was surrounded by talent that would bring out the best in him. It took them 3 years, but they got him a true #1 WR for the 1st time in 2020. I remember times in 2019 when I would watch teams with #1 WRs thinking if Josh had a guy like that the critics would get off his case. The biggest difference, besides the natural development that came with experience, was trading for Diggs, drafting Davis & filling the giant hole at RT with Williams.
  17. Allen was 87th last year, shooting down all the people who say that Allen was a question mark before last season. See his peers already recognized him as an up & coming player BEFORE LAST SEASON because in spite of his stats, which have led many astray in his early years & college days, they saw what he did on the field against them when more often than not, they left on the losing side after playing the 2019 Bills. He was well on his way to being the franchise after his 1st 2 seasons, but for the stat boys it makes a better story that he came out of nowhere because they weren't paying enough attention to Josh development, which was fairly evident after his 2nd season. His peers saw it, voting him the 87th best before his record breaking season.
  18. Both make the 53, then after some other roster moves McKenzie goes on IR. Stevenson gets a 3 week audition with McKenzie on IR & then if he's good he stays as the return man & McKenzie is activated to the same role as last year. If Stevenson isn't good enough, McKenzie gets the return job & Stevenson gets cut & put on the PS if he clears waivers.
  19. So what is Philly going to do with Joe Flacco? Could he be headed back to the Jets, who have no backups at QB who belong in the NFL? Josh Johnson will be back in the XFL next spring, unless he wants to get his social security early. The other 2 guys are practice squad quality. I expect more backup QB movement before the start of the season. There are a few teams 3 deep in QBs like Chicago who has no need for Foles but may be stuck with him since he's a cap drain whether he's there or not & has a lot of guaranteed money for a new team to pick him up as a backup. Then there's the mess in Houston with Watson who needs to settle his legal problems before he steps on the field again, if he ever does. The Feds are investigating him & he could end up in a Vick type of situation with real jail time. There are at least 5 teams that if the starter goes down they may not win another game with their current backup. Here is a list of QB depth charts prior to the Minshew trade: https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/QB
  20. He'll either be inactive or on post 53 IR on opening day. He's probably got at least a 1 month injury.
  21. We all better hope the Rams don't win the NFC. You saw what happened when a team had home field in the Super Bowl in Tampa. Too big an advantage in the Super Bowl for the other team to overcome.
  22. Just seeing those 2 names together is going to give me nightmares tonight.
