I noticed this on TV and it bugged me a bit. I never left early when I had tickets. I realize we had back ups in but its still football dammit and I want to see every snap
So you watched on TV and are criticizing the people who actually paid for a ticket and went to the game huh?
-
No backhanded digs directed at Spiller this week Bill? Excellent.
-
Like I said, I'm not a fan of teams. I'm a fan of individual players. My favorite all time player was Steve Tasker. So I always find another player to root for, and he doesn't have to be a Buffalo Bill.
My god man then stick to tennis and golf and boxing or whatever if you only care about individual achievement in sport. You understand football is a TEAM game? Your favorite players would certainly think your attitude is a bit askew if asked.

Bills LBs getting a lot of milage out of slowing the running game of Shonn Greene, Tim Tebow and Bilal Powell.....
Not the most difficult of tasks, I know. They'll have a bigger challenge this week with Charles and Hillis. I had to point that out though, since the OP seems so optimistic about other units on the team that played horribly last week, yet dumped on the LBs' run defense, one of the few bright spots IMO.
-
Also, take LA out of the mix and where does the next owner move the team to that the other owners would approve?
I'm not completely taking LA out of the mix, just saying that market may not be still in play by the time the team goes up for sale. But with the current least situation, who knows?
-
Well if the Bills Mafia guarantees a win, I'm sold. BTW, the linebackers played the run fine last week.
I'd be a happy camper if I never heard the phrases "Bills Mafia" and "show me the baby" ever again. They've overstayed their welcome and now just sound stale and stupid.

I second Geno Smith. Not a fan of Landry Jones at all.

They would move the team to LA, where there is still no stadium, after paying an "LA premium", and a relocation fee? And would have to sell off a major chunk of the team to the LA group in order to get the stadium built?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying an LA group is definitely in the mix for the team whenever they go up for sale. LA might already have a deal in place for another team to move there when the Bills go up for bid. All I'm saying is that any outside potential bidders, whether or not they are from Los Angeles, are likely to drive up the price when the sale finally happens. The most recent sale of the Jags to Shahid Khan, which wasn't a "highest bidder" scenario, was for (reportedly) $760B. Khan paid a slight premium for that team, whose market value at the time of sale was around $725B (and was actually dropping in the years immediately preceding the sale.)
Obviously I don't have any hard evidence that the Bills are going to sell for way more than their current value. But, if the team really is going to go to the highest bidder when ownership changes, it's not that hard to believe there will be at least one bidding party putting in an outrageous bid for the team and driving up the price.

The Dodgers sold for 2 billion (and Magic overpaid by at least 25%, per reports of the losing bid amount) because the Dodgers are more valuable as a TV show than as a dya to day money making baseball team. Next year, they will be able to sell their TV rights to the highest bidder or create their own network like the yanks or the mets (which is where those teams make their money, not selling game tickets).
Obviously in the NFL, teams can't negotiate TV deals. There will be no bid up like in LA.
You're right, the ability for baseball teams to negotiate their own TV deals definitely contributes to their value. But if Buffalo goes to the highest bidder, and some of those bidders intend on moving them to a market like LA, the team could easily go for much more than the current market value. It's not lost on these billionaires that a team like the Redskins have doubled in value in 12 years.
-
Nah. People that pay 25% over market value for things don't become billionaires.
You did see what the Dodgers just went for right? Magic and his partners spent way more than market value. They're out there and in an open bidding war the Bills could easily go for around $1B.

Hooray , we get one more year...Still dont trust these guys man , something is rotten in Denmark...How on earth did they miss 3 meetings that were critical to G4 funding?
Dude change your thread title, it's misleading. Your paranoia is not evidence of lease talks breaking down, sorry.
-
I'll try my hand at some optimism:
1. Best to lose like this at the beginning of the season, rather than at the end.
2. Like others have said, Spiller looks to be turning into an every down back finally, and a good one at that. Keep working on your pass protection CJ!
-
Is this allowed? You know someone posting questions and redirecting for hits on his/her website, over and over again? For the sole purpose of getting an "article" read?
Mods? Answer?
It's a bit odd isn't it? I'm not sure how this guy gets an exception to a long standing rule and floods the board with nothing but his own links. Doesn't even bother to excerpt part of it and paste it in the body of his post.

Landry hit Jackson on the thigh above the knee. Nothing dirty about that particular play. He was flagged for a late hit on Spiller later on, but it was barely late - he pushed Spiller a split second after his foot came down out of bounds.
He's a big hitter, and does draw too many flags. He's also a complete liability in coverage. Jets are lucky their corners can play great man D and dont need much safety help.
-
So, Kelsay once again gets props for doing nothing but "trying hard" but Spiller gets chastised for one mistake that was largely the result of a great play by the opposing DB (whom Spiller beat initially).
Spiller was the best player on the field today for the Bills, and it wasn't even close. Kelsay and the rest of the DL were invisible against the pass. 2 tackles and 1 TFL. He continued to get blocked out of the frame and completely taken out of plays. Standard CK. But at least he tried, right?
This board is funny sometimes. At least pretend to look at the game objectively.
-
It is a tougher position to learn. That said, Steven Hill seemed to have little trouble playing the position today for the jets, and he came from a program that ran the furthest thing from a pro offense.
-
I think it's because most posters here who come to have actual discussions about the team would find it incredibly annoying to open up the front page and see it polluted with a dozen stupid "rah-rah" threads.
-
"venerable" is probably the last adjective in the english language i would use to describe peter king.
-
Never ever let homerism influence you in your draft. Jackson is a very low tier 1 rb. Stevie is a mid 2nd tier wr.
The defense, until proven otherwise, isn't worth drafting. You can take a flyer on them sure. But if youre passing up a D in a weak offensive division (NFC west for instance) for the bills then you deserve to lose your league and you probably will.
-
People on bleacher report jumping to wild conclusions? You don't say. Never would've guessed.
-
Weirdest post of the year. I like it.
-
I'd say the Bills still have Chandler and Nelson who can work up the seams. And they still have Fred and CJ to catch balls out of the backfield. So no, i don't think it all depends on SJ and deep balls to Graham.
-
Makes you wonder what some other team's fans have been saying for 20 years about some Bills players since Jim Kelly retired doesn't it? Especially since Fitzgerald was wasting away to the tune of over 1,400 yards last year?
Hey trust me i'm right there with you. I just lifted that phrase from the quoted story; i don't necessarily agree with it.
Fitzgerald is still a great WR and can produce even with the likes of Kolb and Skelton at QB. Trading him away for what? Another 1rd pick next year, along with the supposed high 1st they'll receive? Makes no sense. So then they take a QB with one of those 1sts and what, a top WR with the other? Why not just keep the top WR you already have?
-
The Cardinals have been "wasting his value" since Warner retired. What makes this year any different? Cards fans would mutiny if Fitzgerald were traded away. Their front office can't be that stupid (or can they?)

Don't be sorry I admire your enthusiasm. I have had season tickets for the past 6 years and go to at least one road game a year as well (cleveland next week). But i see absolutely nothing wrong with leaving whenever i damn well please, especially in a blowout. It's a two way street. When the team finally puts together a playoff season, heck, even a winning record, then i'll start staying to the final whistle and cheering them on till i lose my voice.
Until then, they're lucky they are still getting my money at all. The players shouldn't feel bad if there isn't a full house late in the 4th, even during a blowout win, given the product they have put on the field for the last 12 years or so.
