    Sports sites are reporting that attendance was 70,040. Can this be true? So it was a full house? No empty seats at all? I find it hard to believe, but I defer to those of you who were there. What say you?

     

    We definitely had some empty seats by us.  We were still really packed in though.  I wonder if some people found better places to habitate as we had a pretty major snow issue in our area.

     

    Also, my friend went to the bathroom with 7 minutes left in the second quarter.  He said there was still a line at security to get in.  I think a lot of people had parking issues and got in late.  

     

     

    As far as STeelers fans, there was an OK amount.  Probably not as much as there would normally be (weather, Monday at 4:30, heavy underdog).  There was one fat troll in our area who was going nuts and 'talking trash' to the Bills players after every positive Steelers' play.  Like he was on the field playing or something.  It was super obnoxious, and I have a high tolerance and welcoming attitude toward visiting fans.  If that game went south, I really think someone would have gone on the offensive.  

  2. Im seeing this 'fake slide' thing coming from spiteful Miami and Kansas City, but it didnt even cross my mind.

     

    Watching the replay it doesnt look like the beginning of a slide at all.  It looks like a sudden change in direction on a somewhat slippery field to hit a hole.  

  3. Wow.  We had shovels to use.  We didnt use them.  We did a lot of stomping and marsh lynching through..  My buddy ended up falling, then rolling in the snow to 3 rows below and it was funny.

     

    Leaving, I slipped on the steps and somehow caught myself .  That would have been a rough one.

    Same here. Not 15 mins before kickoff the stadium looked half empty and half full of snow. Then, like you said, at kickoff, snow was gone and stands looked full….I thought maybe CBS was fooling us with CG. LOL

     

    Anybody who was there care to explain where all the snow went?

     

    It was crazy.  We made sure we got in early to clear out and we were waist high of snow in our seats.  Had to create tunnels to clear out our area.  Looking around we thought no way they could fit in all the people.

     

    There was a void underneath the bleacher seats.  We were able to pack a lot of snow below the row/bench in front of us.  It was also a pretty fluffy snow (which is why we didnt see 1,000,000 snow balls) so the snow packed down once everyone walked and stomped on it.  There were shovels everywhere too for people to dig if they needed.  

     

    I was pretty much standing on/in snow the entire game.

  5. I was once an 'its all Belichick and the Patriots' 'system' they have.

     

    These days, I think it is almost equal Belichick/Brady.  Neither would have amounted to anywhere near their historical status without the other (and I am convinced nobody would remember Tom Brady).

     

    It was a perfect storm of a coach/staff who was ahead of the curve and would find every single margin to take advantage of for winning.  You had a QB who wasnt all that gifted, but was willing to give his entire being to being the greatest and winning.

  6. You wonder what the future is, but I don't think it's great for WGR55 as we know it (and probably WBEN as well).

     

     

    It has amazed me for a number of years that they would retain such high salaries (Im sure) of Schopp and the Bulldog and people like that, when you can get closer to entry-level people and pay them a fraction of the amount to talk sports.  Honestly, the younger guys on the station have always been fine in my opinion, and always hungrier and put more effort into consuming and researching sports.

    Titans, who announced their stadium deal 13 months after the Bills did, have released their 3d walkthrough of the new stadium:
     

     


    I love how you can see the field from all of the concession stands. It's beautiful inside.

     

    Its pretty nice looking.  Open-concourses are pretty standard now.  My only complaint is that one really big lounge area with the copious number of couches not even facing the field.  Go in and watch the game, people.  

     

    I wish we had such a walkthrough.

  8. Its kind of sad that these careers are ending.  Pages are turning.

     

     

    Anyways, things for Alabama are getting and going to get a lot more difficult.  Already mentioned NIL and transfer portal.  The super-conferences and a lot more competition, even the expanded playoff will make it tough.  I think we are going to have much more parity in the top 10-20 teams year to year like never before.

    What media do you listen to? They were saying Mack suck suck suck since last year.. As for Fans, don’t all fans believe their team should be SB Bound? Thus why they are fans.. 

     

    His rookie season.  

    Because he wasn't pooping his pants and turning the ball over, he was on the same trajectory as Tom Brady.  


    Also, it is natural for NE fans to assume they will someday control the Division for decades and see perpetual Superbowl berths for a generation.  Heck, us Bills fans did/do once we got a franchise QB.  4 Years is an amazing run.  Most Divisions turn over every season to 2 or 3 at the top.  The additional 1st place schedule game in the NFC makes it even more difficult.  

     

    I remember as a Bills fan in the mid-90s, it felt like the Chargers, Steelers, etc were just keeping the Bills' seat warn until we reassumed the top of the AFC again.

    NE is a good opportunity in terms of picks and cap....there is a lot of cap available for them to build a team and a high pick for a QB.  Maybe somewhere that has a QB could be thought of as better.  I do agree on the shadow thing but I think Vrabel is one who maybe can handle that.

    This makes 6 coaches fired in the division since McDermott took over.

     

    I guess picks and cap.  They have to build the entire thing, which can be faster than people think as long as the cap is clear.

     

    The Division is tough too.  My favorite job if I were a coach is the Bears.  

     

     

    Also, I think Vrabel's abilities are getting inflated right now.  He got fat on a freak superlative generational RB and his eliminated team tried hard in a couple games.  Awful division most of his tenure as well.  High floor, low ceiling type of coach.   I would be much more worried about the offensive visionary type. 

     

     

  11. If I were Vrabel, I would stay far from New England.  Expectations are sky high there, even at the beginning of a rebuild.  He is following in the shoes of arguably the greatest of all-time.  There are going to be his choice of suitors which would be better circumstances.
