Is this their year? Many complaints about the new digs. High ticket prices ( what did the fans expect),blocked views,smallish highlight scoreboard.

    As I said in the other thread their chances are better since they dumped McDermott, I don't know much about their new HC but if they stay healthy they should be neck and neck with the Pats for the AFC East

    Buffalo has always struck me as a team that will figure out how to blow it, even when they have all the parts in place. The franchise has had numerous opportunities at the big prize and squandered them all. As much as I dislike the Patriots I will be pulling for them all season.

    I do think that McDermott was a problem, he botched that 13 second game against the Chiefs and that was their best opportunity for that team to make the Super Bowl, it's been a steady decline since, he should have been fired after that game

    When Marv Levy was Head Coach that had 4 shots in consecutive years, unexcusable to not win at least one. And the teams they had then were arguably better than any of the recent renditions. The only things that aggravates me more than the Bills having good teams and not being able to even make a Super Bowl is all the people who feel so sad that they keep losing.

    Well you gotta feel for Bills Mafia, I know they are idiots but they are passionate about their team, you got to respect that

    The 0-4 Bills were the biggest losers collectively in sports history imo

    I am very curious about what the new Cleveland Browns playhouse will look like when finished. The drawings which are nothing but an "Artist's Conception" look nice, perhaps they will learn from the mistakes of some recently constructed facilities.

    To the point of the Bills stadium obstructions, I was never in the current Cleveland Browns stadium to have an opinion, but I spent plenty of time in the 1932 rendition where the team won its last Championship. We had Row H in Section 19 of the upperdeck, with all my Uncles, Cousins and relatives of dubious antecedence taking up almost the whole row. We were at the closed end of the field in almost direct line with the Browns sideline. Sitting at the far end of the row was a support post that really blocked the view.

    In 1965, my first year, it was a problem, but by 1973, my last year, I had paid my debt and worked my way to the middle of the row which afforded and unobstructed view of the field.

    Absolutely insane they went 0-4. Bill Mafia which are probably the funniest fan group in the NFL hate the new stadium for a variety of reasons

    Now the Bills are replacing the grass that was already laid for the new stadium.
