They heard all the things that are important to fans and combined them with some of the intimacies of the old stadium such as site lines, proximity to the field etc into the design. Well, I'm pretty skeptical. I think they are going say the right things, but in every single new arena/stadium, the seats are always further away than in the old ones. I just don't want any more of that than is necessary, and accommodating soccer isn't necessary IMHO. 1

Eleven Posted March 31, 2022 Report Posted March 31, 2022 Can we put this stuff away? If it was coming from my POV, @nfreeman would have moved it three minutes before it was posted. @Randall Flagg This should not be a take your ball and go home moment, I'd hope. Move wherever you'd like and please keep posting. Meanwhile, let's get the stadium talk and moving talk out of here and let it be for Bills stuff. 1

Definitely doesn't help that big investment firms are buying single family homes to use as rentals now either. people dont understand how true this statement is...-The big companies hide the notion well because they use hundreds of different names that sound folksy when they call you or email you wanting to buy your house.Sadly they offer you way under market for the houses.Only if your house is trashed could you possibly get a somewhat fair offer cuz they can fix the place up way cheaper than most of us can. So now there is a permanent housing shortage and a high price for rentals because people cant find houses very easily. 1
calti Posted April 2, 2022 Report Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I went to the first game at Rich Stadium.1973. I had seen a lot in war memorial re: drunk maniacs. But the crowd at Rich was a frightening gathering of drunks from end zone to end zone. I understand that the Bills fans--high % of them unemployed--needed an outlet for their rage..plus the enjoyment of seeing the great OJ and the electric company do their thing.

Whatever the amount, they can make it work. The NFL salary cap has been the butt of a lot of jokes this off-season. Teams keep adding and adding with no repercussions. 1 minute ago, WildCard said: He plays man, we don't. He also hated being here and wasn't exactly quite about it. I'll pass. I don’t care that he didn’t want to play on a crappy Bills team. He’s good, at least better than what they have unless they go CB in the first round.

K-9 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Posted April 5, 2022 The idea that Gilmore can’t play zone coverage schemes is wrong. He’s played them his entire career with each team he has been with; from Wannstedt to Pettine to Schwartz to Rex to Belichick, all of whom employed various zone coverage schemes in addition to man coverage. He happens to be very good at both, but lock down man coverage guys are rare, he’s one of the best to play it and so people tend to only focus on that aspect of his game. All that said, he seems to be in decline as a player.
calti Posted April 5, 2022 Report Posted April 5, 2022 RB then CB....2 positions where athletic ability is of huge importance. Dont get a CB that could slide off the edge very quickly.

I think Williams is a nice piece and will be good but he's got a major knee injury, he isn't going to be a major factor in year 1 because of that, defense wins championships.
