All they need to do is move the platform, the tracks go around the arena, just build a terrace out across SHK, you could even leave the street open and have a skywalk and make them go through the store, like the Duty Free in some airports where you have to walk through to get to the terminal. It would take some shuffling around and a few bucks, but it's eminently doable.

Okposo.
-7 pts in 24 games played out of 33 available,
-Paid $6m for 11 minutes average TOI.
-Plays consistently with offensive jagernaught Lockport Larry who has been giving Skinner all those killer grade A high danger opportunities

He costs $345,000 for every point at his current rate.

Skinner, even in the midst of a slump and paid outlandishly costs $201,000 per point.

Want more production from Skinner?...boy they could use Kyle's $6m cap to pay a 2C to generate more opportunities.

Steelers, Vikings, Tennessee were all last in their division. Bills have a chance to leap frog the Pats for first in the division, Seahawks for now have bypassed the 49ers for first in theirs.

A bills victory on a Sunday will push the Pats into a wildcard spot, and playoff seeding for the NFC is still wide open for spots 1-6.

Lots of things to play for from November on.

Pats have to lose to us AND Miami for us to take the division

Combine that with the waste of cap on Erod, Sheary, Bogo and Sobotka and that’s a lot of wasted dollars.

Yes, but if KC wins out and the Pats lose one of their games then the winner of your division becomes the 3rd seed. Reading comprehension is key.

There is a huge expense of power lines being unground is my understanding. Maybe under the road beneath SHK?

They could go really cheap(relatively speaking) and move the current awning/stop back 150' even with the entrance/store, and just throw up an awning that crosses the road.

The Colts did it last season. Steelers have won 7 out of their last 9. Tennessee has won 6 of their last 8.
- Pegullaville


Yes, games in the 2nd half of the season are important
So are the ones in the first half

Your argument is beyond ridiculous

U said the pats get knocked down to a wild card spot with a Bills win this weekend

That’s not anymore true than your theory about games 9-16 mattering more than 1-8

Well coincidentally the Pats have started to fall off a cliff since teams started playing more desperate football. Weeks 1-4 are basically an extension of the preseason, terrible sloppy football.

Maybe
But they’re still just as important as weeks 14-17

That's really cool. I took a tour a few summers ago and I thought the hold up for digging for lines under the road at $11 million?

That would solve it.

Also, how about some murals on the outside ? Facing the buffalo river and canal side?

It’s the first time they have had 3 straight losing seasons in my life time, it’s weird. I guess they were due to suck at some point.

Suffering?

It sucks, hopefully you can root for them to lose every game next year and draft a generational qb

Bill's bandwagon is going to be difficult to avoid .

Tons of fans in Toronto and Canada

And yet, despite "winning when it counts," only one of them will make it because they didn't win when it didn't count

The other 11 have owned their tickets to the post season since Halloween

Great November for Denver and Cleveland though

I’ll take the Bills first rounder for Von Miller in the offseason.

This year is the outlier. 3/4 of the AFC is dreadful and the 6th seed in the NFC would be the 2nd best team in the AFC.

The fact that one of Philly/Dallas earns a playoff spot is a mockery however.

You are way too high on the Tannehill Titans. They still have to beat the saints and texans to even make the dance. I dont see how they would beat the chiefs

Minnesota is 10-4 and would be tied with KC for the 3rd best record

Sure, and the NFC is a dog fight.

The Bills have 2 wins against teams with winning records this year, and one of those teams only caught fire after they benched their QB (Mariota).

Edit: and the franking kicker missed 4 kicks.
