BillsFan17 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 I came into this thread to get info on what the rules are for fan attendance, as I wanted to possibly take my son. Instead, it seems like an asinine pissing match over the importance of these practices. 2 2 2

Football isn't curing cancer or rocket science, you don't need all these practices before the regular season. Football is highly strategic and requires precise timing and a developed chemistry Great Way to evaluate bubble players as well as hone the Offense and defense. Players need to be conditioned for the season. Also practicing against yourself becomes uninspiring and practicing against another team allows for perspective. Players learn the nuances o other players after repitition so practicing against yourself becomes self defeating at a certain point I would think. Yes they're risks, but risks out weigh the rewards IMO . Its football, injuries happen, and that is why the best teams also have good depth. Edited August 13, 2019 by ddaryl 2

I would still take your son regardless. You get a much more intimate view of everything happening. I went to the Bills/Browns one probably 15 years ago. You could hear the chatter, the calls at the line, the thuds from the pads are louder....it's a really cool experience. 1

Plus, there are new plays that need to be gone over until it's second nature. Of course we're not curing cancer or building rockets; we're going to the Super Bowl and just like those two things you mentioned, you need to put the time in to be good at it. Injuries can happen anywhere, anytime. It happens. You can't avoid playing to avoid injuries; otherwise, don't play the game. 1

So I guess if you're not curing cancer or building rockets.....you just do the bare minimum. Sean McDermott might say that 15 pieces of flair is the bare aluminum but he really wants you to have at least 37. Edited August 13, 2019 by Royale with Cheese 1 5

That’s always been my experience. I find that is the best way to teach the next generation as well. Don’t they say that laziness is next to godliness?

Well he is "undersized" I hope Morse never sees a preseason field this year. He doesn't need it. He'll have plenty of time in practice to gel with his line mates.

I was more looking into, are there admission fees or parking fees or anything along those lines? Not that I'd mind paying, just wanted to have my ducks in a row. Spartanburg is apparently only an hour from where I live, so I think it would be really fun to go. 1
