Wentz expected to miss the rest of the preseason and faces the prospect of foot surgery.

I wish this whole Deshaun Watson thing would just get resolved and he’d get traded to another team. I’m tired of hearing about it.

An always hurt player getting hurt again, shocked I tell you.

They are also listing him as being out indefinitely, doesn't sound like a minor issue to me.

It was 51o this morning & one of the trees had a little yellow on some of the leaves.

Football is a comin.

Well the weather here matches that, 75-80 in August with no humidity which I'm loving to be honest.

Starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, backup Nate Stanley and rookie Kellen Mond all missed practice after one of them reportedly tested positive and the other two were deemed close contacts.

Good job, moron Cousins.

Damn I'm sure that Hurts.

[Batman1980]

Probably hurts about as much as most of his NFL injuries

On top of Bills fans wanting to keep their team, Cowboys and Texans management would likely prefer the Bills to stay put as well, given the extra competition for fans, sponsorships, and revenue a third Texas team would create. Wickersham added that an unnamed source said, "there are other cities elsewhere that desire an NFL franchise and would pay handsomely for it," when negotiating with the city of Buffalo. It's unlikely that the Bills leave Buffalo but a lucrative stadium offer from another city would need to be matched by their current home if such an offer is presented to them.

Sigh. I knew someone was going to jump the shark on this. Bills aren’t going anywhere. It's a negotiation. One side starts high the other low. Each side emphasizes their strengths, in this case other cities will pay. One side leaks this out to get public sentiment against other. This is how negotiations work.

What's funny is, they're the ones who'll be forcing us into further lockdowns and mask mandates, if anybody. Several movies just got pushed back and some theaters might close due to the Delta. Also, don't be surprised if stadiums tighten restrictions again during the 2021 season.

We want to reach herd immunity so we DON'T have to wear masks or lockdown any further, but the deluded anti-vaxxers won't let that happen.

[Batman1980]

Oh NFL teams already know another massive wave is coming, that's why they already have mandates in place to punish teams that don't have high vaccination levels.

I would hate to see it happen but Austin is like one of the hottest cities in America right now. I can also see the state of NY, which is broke by the way, is not going to be keen of giving hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure upgrades and tax breaks to help the bills build a stadium.

One thing is for sure, the Bills need a new place, unfortunately they happen to be located in a terrible state to try and get something like that done. Bob Kraft tried this move and was basically told to pound sand by mass politicians, he had to put up his own money to build Gillett Stadium!

[Batman1980]

Bob Kraft is scum.

Jerry won't allow a third NFL team in Texas, pick another state.

Lol he is scum why, because he got a hand job at a massage parlor? Bob Kraft has done more for this state and country for that matter then you could ever hope to do, Bat this is one subject you are so far wrong on it is laughable!

At the end it’s likely to be a mix of both. Billionaires should have to fund their own stadiums, but that’s also not the way it works. With how much the Pegula’s have personally invested in WNY, there’s no way the team would actually move. An interesting note is the firm handling the negotiations for the team side is owned by a certain guy by the name of Jerry Jones.

Where are they going to build a new place? Certainly can't be where it currently sits as it is literally in a residential area, out in the middle of nowhere. I would think any new place would need to be smack dab in the city of buffalo or should be imo.

Hard to show the benefits of a new stadium when it is located nowhere even close to the actual city. I think that was a huge sticking point in New Englands quest to build a new stadium as foxboro is in nowhere ville. Until Kraft built Patriots place their was nothing but a few gas stations and old dilapidated motels and business located around the stadium.
