Buffalo Bills Buffalo Bills 2021 Offseason Part III: The Draft

Week 16 is when they start flexing games right?

It looks like they're flexing Monday night games this year starting with week 12. LINK

I think week 15 is the first week with games flexed into Saturday time slots.

Looks like Sunday night can flex starting in week 5, although they can't change the game every week. LINK

Week 16 Christmas is on Saturday. Anygame for Saturday night likely stays put. No flexing.

week 5-10 is a limited flexing period.

The ego of that dude is insane.

The county owns the stadium and has the final say on admission policies as long as they aren’t LESS strict than statewide mandates. Ultimately, it IS up to Mr. Polincarz as to who can enter the property, just like a business can add their own stipulations if they wanted to.

4 Prime time games. Only one in Buffalo. As a season ticket holder who plans on selling 6-7 games I say "Boooooo!"[/QUOTE]

just curious, but why buy season tickets to attend one or two games? Until this year you’d have to be eating a ton of money...

Actually it isn't.

State law ALWAYS supersedes Localities when it comes to statewide issues, just like Federal always supersedes State law.

"
The constitution further states that ordinances passed by home rule charter cities and counties take precedence over conflicting state laws as to local affairs. State laws take precedence over home rule charter ordinances as to matters that are not local affairs."

I work in a regulatory role for the state of NY. A local rule cannot be LESS restrictive than a state statute or regulation, it most certainly can be MORE restrictive.

The owner of the stadium can make their own restrictions for entering their property. Here is an example: NY currently allows indoor seating at 50% capacity. If I own a bar, I can choose to allow 25% indoor capacity or only have outdoor seating.

Furthermore, we aren’t talking about statute or formal regulations, we are talking about executive actions from the governor.

I just bought them this year. I figure, at the very least- I'll break even and have first dibs on a playoff game. As of right now- my seat costed me around $80. That same seat is going for $160+ for the home opener. I'll probably be able to double that again with the Monday night game. I'm assuming I'll make a profit on those 6-7 games I do sell. (barring the team seriously regressing).

What I like:
>Essentially a second mini-bye week between @Saints on Thanksgiving and vs. NE Pats on 12/6.

What I don't like:
>Potential trap game week 2 in Miami. Peak hurricane season. Uber-hot and high humidity. Reasonable chance for a loss or a re-schedule.
>Potential trap game day after Christmas. All road teams that week will likely be traveling Christmas Day.
>No Dolphins in BUF late in season.
>Two home games in January. Pretty sure the first full week of January in WNY often has lows below 0F and highs in the single digits Farenheit.

The dates in your quoted post don't match the official NFL schedule release.

HOF game is Thursday August 5th Cowboys - Steelers.

Since they switched from a 6-preseason 14-regular game schedule to a 4-16 mix, the NFL regular season always begins the weekend after Labor Day, with the preseason concluding the Thursday or Friday before Labor Day if Labor Day is early, or the Saturday before Labor Day if Labor Day is late. This year, Labor Day is late.

Yep, that's why people spend life in prison for a few grams of weed in Mississippi. Someone was just sentenced to life in prison this week, no parole, for an amount of weed that wouldn't even get you a misdemeanor in most states.

No, this isn't how the law works.

Source: I'm a lawyer.

Less snarky source: There's all kinds of local laws my clients are charged with breaking that are more strict than state laws on the subject.

I have them going 11-6, but more of the losses are toss ups for me than wins. I could easily see them winning 13 games again. I don't see them winning less than 10.

I tend to agree. Less than 10 wins would be a disaster with this schedule. They should be favorites in 14 games even if you consider @ Tennessee a coin flip or slight advantage to TEN.

Also, on your list it looks like you forgot the Jacksonville game, so I think you have them going 12-5 (assuming you don't have Jacksonville beating us)

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Bullshit that we only got 4 prime time games and several teams got 5...including the Brees-less Saints. f***ing joke.
