Upl 15 -15 - 5
Fake .500

Other 17 games: ( 5 or 6 wins).
Anderson/tokarski/ houser/ dell/ subban

We've been here before 😉

If Anderson came back it could make it very interesting. The confidence alone UPL brings the team could be big just by itself.

This one is important to me and normally I am good with taking jokes but if you have one, keep it to yourself on this.

In August 2020 my uncle committed suicide, he was very well known in the hockey community in Buffalo. My cousins (one coaches Frannies, the other is the Hockey Director at Timon) put this together to raise awareness.

If you want to watch some hockey anytime soon go out and support a good cause while you're at it.

Deepest sympathy Stripes, I remember you talking about your Uncle awhile back. I will be there, my Nephew knew Max.

Yeah, was messing around, think he had his 1st NFL start against the Raiders when he was with SF, if I remember correctly think he had a big game

Now that dear orange leader put his blessing on the vaccine and booster, I feel more comfortable discussing it.
- Boss34



So wait...you wouldn't discuss the vaccine or booster until "dear orange leader" put his blessing on them?

Looks like a new stadium will be in Orchard Park after all. Thoughts?

They extended the Christmas break for 2 days for theater. Not a big deal.

Would it be a better option for tailgating? Also isn’t the practice facility next to the current stadium?

For the people that went to get poopfaced and blackout then it’s the better option.

Tailgating would still be the same downtown. There are many open lots and I’d assume more would be built. Tailgating could also happen at nearly every bar down in that area as well as well as the boost to hotel sales and tax revenue from hotel tax.

There are several teams that don’t have training facilities on site. That’s not a huge deal imo.

All great points regarding the serious boost in revenue for the down town. But is it an extra billion worth? I personally would think it would be cool down town to give it a shot in the arm. Also a change in location may make the Football Gods happy and change the luck of the Bills. But then again the Sabres play down town.

All of his points are moot and ridiculous.

The stadium is 100% going to be in orchard park, in close proximity to the practice facility.

Other teams don't have practice facilities 😀😀😀
They win the superbowl without them. ☝️

Why wouldn’t the Pegula’s just pay for it themselves? Wouldn’t that make the franchise that much more valuable? Maybe they don’t have that kind of cash?

Idk?
Most owners don’t pay for the stadiums themselves
It’s a rarity
