[Unplayable]

Pathetic embarrassing defensive performance. One wonders if it can possibly get any better for next year without major changes.

[Nob 2.0]

Major help needed along the line of scrimmage for next year. That should be the first area from a player personnel perspective.

But don’t stop there….. Outside of the kickers there isn’t any area that should be set for next season. It all needs upgrading

The whole "Future of Football" partnership between MLSE and the Bills seemed ... kind of underwhelming yesterday. (I admit I didn't get to the pregame signings etc in the so-called "Kings Club." Maybe that was a bigger deal but all the in-game bits seemed pretty low key).

I wonder if MLSE toned down on the Bills-rah-rah stuff that it seemed might have been part of the original plan, perhaps correctly reading the room.

All true, but we can’t argue the fact it was the biggest crowd of the year. I love the
$20 east upper level tickets and $5 for accompanying children. I have stated for years that is how to rebuild a fan base.
I think it’s also fair to say, whoever built the stadium dropped the ball by having the field go north/south from a spectacular perspective. I heard it was unbearable on the lower east side yesterday

And the reason why the stadium is oriented like that - corrupt FIFA.

I ran into my cousin, who has seats over there, after the game. He was absolutely drenched in sweat.

We lasted 2 games sitting on the east side in 2016, called the Argos and moved to the west side.
The sun and heat are brutal over there.

Really? Do they insist on fields going north-south?

"MAIN STAND
Good stadium orientation should alleviate the issue of sun glare on all TV broadcasts and for those in the commentary positions, as well as those seated in the media, VIP and VVIP areas.

On the basis that these seats and the main TV camera gantry should be located in the main stand, the stadium orientation should ensure that the sun is behind the main stand at times when matches are likely to be played."

I keep wondering if they couldn't fly some giant flags or banners from the top of the west stand, that would provide a little more shade on the east side. For instance, there is a gap between the west side roof and the top of the west side stands that the sun comes screaming through during afternoon games.

It really can be uncomfortable in the east side. I've also sat there for a few games. Mid afternoon, warm day, no thank you.
