Does the team have the ability to only sell tickets to people that live within certain zip codes? I'm talking about straight from the team to the purchaser.

A long time ago i think it WAS like this - but there are just way too many 3rd party mark up vendors these days to accomplish that as a franchise - i think

Ted Leonsis did this in early 2000s wrote a software program to eliminate zip codes around Pittsburgh for ticket sales. In 2018 during the Cup run tickets sold pre sale i.e to season ticket holders were not allowed to be resold. I think that would be feasible only with season ticket holders that enter into a contract with the franchise. The ticket resale business has become too big of a business for NFL to lose as a sponsor now IMO.

In the Bundesliga visiting teams are given a set amount of tickets to sell through their market and they are all in one area not dispersed through the stadium. I don't know how they prevent fans from being scattered through out the stadium via resales maybe our European fans here can explain this. I think it is similar in Premier league

Not if, we will win. I got that 1981-82 season feeling, the beginning of something BIG. Jump on the bandwagon. Sam is the missing link we've needed.

Well the Hogs which made all those quarterbacks great is definitely a missing piece too. And a HOF HC. And the greatest GM ever. Oh and a great Kicker, and LB’s.
BUT at least Snyder isn’t the one responsible for getting us all that. So there is a chance.

We got a QB, RB's WR's, TE's, decent OL, great OC, DL, CB's and safeties. we'll be fine.

Fine doesnt win superbowls. Lol. This offseason we go from fine to really good. Than it’s on to great.

Fine can definitely make the playoffs though.

While I do think some of the optimism is a tad bit over the roof...
I also think we can win this game.

Just watched the Bills @ Raiders, and, weird to say after a 38 to 10 win in which they shut out their opponent for the whole 2nd half... but I wasn't overly impressed.

Mainly, and this could be key, I thought there were ways to get to Josh Allen (who obviously can always go Josh Allen on you), so if our Dline can bring their A game, and...

EB can design things to help our Oline against their toughest opposition so far, we got a more than legit shot at this. I don't know what the Raiders' Oline is worth, but I didn't see the domination I thought I would see from the Bills' Dline.

I don't think the Bills are in juggernaut mode yet, so let's get this W !

From what I saw of that game, the Bills LBs are the strongest part of their D. They kept the Raiders run game in check and their doubling on Adams (and knocking him out the game) effectively shutdown their passing. We probably lean on the screen game again, though stretching the field against their secondary will be a good idea too. For D we need to shut their run game down and force Allen to pass (and not run himself). He could have another game like he ha s against the Jets if that happens. And 🤞 special teams are on their game; no more bad snaps as this could easily come down to a FG.

You are correct, their LB’s is their D strength, on O QB, WR, TE. Cook is their best RB, he likes the edges, if our D contains the edge they’ll be dependent on their pass game. I’m not worried about their CB’s and Safeties. Howell has done an awesome job of spreading the ball in 2 weeks using 10 different receivers, so he can have his option of receivers. Allen has also used 10 different receivers, putting constant pressure on Allen and forcing mistakes are key. I’m bummed my boy Tim Settle will face us, love that guy.

Commanders can be 'really good team' when Brian Robinson Jr., Antonio Gibson are rolling

EB will see to that. It is so refreshing to see offensive weapons used correctly. Not that I didn’t love Curtis Samuel going up the gut on third and short.

Just heard that we haven’t allowed an opposing quarterback to reach 275 yards since week four of last year. That’s awesome. I wonder how many teams haven’t allowed a 300 yard passer in that timeframe let alone 275?
