The Rockpile Report - A Buffalo Bills Podcast (Blue Wire)

The Bills are making changes to ticket policies as COVID19 continues - what does that mean to us as ticket holders & what does that mean to the WNY area financially?

This week we delve into both of those topics with the help of Paul Lane of Buffalo Business first magazine!

We discuss the current impact of COVID19 on the WNY area, the ways it benefits from & is most vulnerable to the ebbs & flows of sports revenue and more! Then we discuss the surprising results of our social media polling on the topic (spoiler alert: Chris has unpopular opinions) and how we'd each handle an NFL season that required us to sign waivers to attend.

The 2021 Bills are on pace to have a similar record through 7 weeks as their 2019 & 2020 iterations. And while this squad FEELS different than those before it...can we PROVE that they are? And if so, by what margin?

In this podcast we take a deep dive into stats & analytics to see if it's possible to quantify what exactly makes the 2021 squad perhaps the most capable of delivering a Lombardi.

From DVOA & turnover %'s to team health & play calling balance, we lay out why despite losing to TEN & PIT, this Bills team truly might be the finest work of Beane & McDermott professional careers!
