Season Tickets Sales Around 53,000 and Climbing

[Historian]

That's why I bought seasons in the family area.

Had to wait two seasons for a pair to open up, but it was worth it.

The Bills have extra security there, and we police our own areas when people try to sneak beers in.

Objectively the team still has major flaws. We put fancy rims, a new paint job and a loud stereo on a Geo Metro, but at the end of the day it's still running on 3 cylinders trying to keep up with NE's V8.

comparing the team to a geo metro was not objective at all. that was a stupid post.

Well, that's like, your opinion, man.

That sentiment couldn't be contained to one of the 20-or-so other front page threads discussing the merits, or lack thereof, of the Bills off-season moves? I get that not everyone is happy with what they have or haven't done so far, but there are SOME positive things going on in Bills land. Not every single thread needs to immediately jump to "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OL?? QB IS UNPROVEN!! WHAT ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S CAP?!"

The Bills are selling lots of season tickets. It's really nothing controversial. Just a nice, positive note.

I think it's controversial that the team made moves to sell tix instead of win football games. And it's working.

You're making an assumption.

Well Giselle can only offer a rim job.

So can every other gay guy...

What moves would you have liked them to make to "win football games" INSTEAD of the moves they made to sell tickets?

Lol

Land a guard in free agency and then grab a non-existent QB, then we will know that the Bills were really trying to win. Is that really what some people think?

The Bills have one of the better rosters in football right now, so I say that they have a decent chance of making the playoffs. We don't need stellar QB play with this group. Just need to play smart and we have a legitimate shot at the post-season. The o-line won't be nearly as bad as the whiners think, either.

I said long ago that we weren't going to fix QB this off season.

As far as G, maybe one was available and maybe one wasn't, but the OL was the worst unit on the team last year and it wasn't addressed. A G not being available doesn't make the ones we have any better.

And every year, people like me get accused of "whining" this time of year, but every year the team sucks on the field. Stop and think about that for a second

And yeah, here comes the "you care more about being right than winning" nonsense. No, I just wonder how many times I have to be right before people stop accusing me of "whining" for simply stating reality.

This is what you just said.

You really don't think Hughes or McCoy are going to help this team win football games? That's ridiculous. Whether or not you think we did enough to improve the team, you can not say that these guys won't help the team.

These are the moves Op would rather make than wins ball games....

He would rather stick with CJ Spiller than upgrade with McCoy.
He would rather let Hughes walk away rather than pay him. Waste of money.
He would rather stick with EJ and Tuel rather than bring in Cassel.
It was stupid of the bills to offer Bulaga more money than Greenbay did.
He would rather stick with Lee Smith and Chandler than go with Clay.
Why bring in a problem child like Incognito , Harvin when you can find a few Kelsay's around the league?

In other words, OP would rather keep doing the same things we've done the last 20 years than take chances.

Which is kind of ironic since he's been doing nothing but complaining for the last 20 years about the moves we make.

Hughes was here last year. I'm glad we kept him but the same guy we had doesn't make us better than last year.

McCoy is an improvement, but we have no QB and no OL. His effectiveness will be limited because he will be running into 8 man fronts all season.

I never said any of those things.

[Night Train]

No QB ? Direct snaps to Fred ? This is getting interesting.


If Orton with 1 foot out the door can beat Aaron Rodgers, then chances are we have a QB that can play at that level and maybe even more in Cassel and maybe Taylor.

OL has new coaching..or actual coaching I'm guessing.

I'll give this a chance before playing taps.

In other words damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Hughes makes us better than we would be without him though, right?

Re-signing Hughes is one of the moves we made that you said were to 'sell tix instead of win football games.' The Hughes signing helps us win football games, no question. Same with McCoy. It's a ridiculous statement.

The moves also help sell tickets, but who cares? Every move we make has an impact on ticket sales.

[OpIv37]

Once again, false dichotomy. "If doing A is wrong, then doing B must be correct!". There are more options than A and B.

I don't see how the McCoy move helps us win football games when we don't have the OL to block for him or the QB to keep the D honest. He's a big name and a flashy player that will sell tickets. He's not going to win football games unless the OL and QB magically get better.

You don't think LeSean McCoy is going to help us win football games? Are you serious?
