Like half of Bills tailgating occurs on people’s lawns and in backyards over like a ten-square-mile area, it seems like it would be almost impossible to enforce this ban outside of the stadium lots

Back when San Diego had a team it was patrol cops giving out actual tickets. It was to prevent Raiders fans and other idiots from smashing them over someone's head.

Per my brother - San Diego police - the Raiders games were always much worse to handle than any other game the Chargers played every year.

if a team went 0-0-16 and the other teams in their division went 7-9, would that first team make the playoffs

e: or I guess they'd have to go 5-9-2

A guy on /r/nfl went super into depth why ACL injuries happen.

tldr:

1. Shorter training camps and poor practice/workout patterns
2. Type of training
3. Playing surface (wet and low traction cause nearly no tears, hot and high traction cause loads)

I also learned that an average of 23 ACL tears happen during the preseason. We had 22 this season.

Honestly some of the craziest and most lawless Bills fans are Canadian not Buffalonian.

This one time I was at a stl Rams game when they played them, and one of the Rams players got completely blown up and is just totally knocked out.

These drunk Canadian Bills fans are just shouting to get him off the field, calling the injured player a loving pussy and saying that he's faking the injury and they almost caused a brawl.

The easiest way is Canadians have a shibboleth when they say the word "about" they pronounce it like "a boot" that was a dead giveaway.

They were sitting one row down. They asked us where we from and vice versa since the game was in St. Louis. Then they got totally blasted.

I like the Canadian fans in general though.

This does sort of beg the question: does Bills facilities need to collect and dispose of like a few dozen tables (more?) from the parking lot after every game?

Weak people spend 10 dollars to gift titles about world leaders they dislike. The strong spend 10 dollars to gift titles telling everyone to play Deus Ex again
It's crazy how expensive it is to go to an nfl game, and I don't even live in LA. A friend and I were talking about trying to get to a vikings game this season, and we both said we want to spend no more than $60 on tickets. This is while we were at a big 10 football game we spent $20 on our tickets for, and they were good seats. Right now the cheapest ticket for vikings vs buffalo is $69 (nice). Admittedly that big 10 football game was the gophers but it was still a lot of fun.

I like to imagine a stadium janitor in St Louis picking up thousands of Budweiser cans after the game and then finding two empty bottles of Labatt Blue and being so loving confused.

When comparing W-L-T records, a tie can be expressed as a half-win and half-loss. So yes, 0-0-16 =~ 8-8-0 and they'd make the playoffs.

The other in division teams could go 6-7-3 as the closest to a functional 8 wins and the 0-0-16 team would get in, so that gets at least one more win than 5-9-2. I haven't figured out if 0-0-16 could win tiebreakers over a 7-7-2 team.

An 0-0-16 team is statistically better than a 6-8-2 team, for the record.

(distributing the ties gets 8-8 and 7-9)
