    I travel a lot for work, Airports, restaurants, malls. This past year I saw Bills fans everywhere where I went. Trips to LA, Phoenix, Dallas, Ft Meyers, Ft. lauderdale Miami. Every trip i went on, I got a “Go Bills” or at least saw people, multiple people representing. This week, went through DC, Baltimore airport, Charlotte, finished up in West Palm Beach today. Saw one guy with a Bills hat all week. It was like people were embarrassed that we lost to KC again. 

    But really the worst thing that made me pause was the treatment and threats to Bass. How embarrassing and really down right dirty low class. I haven’t lived in Buffalo for a long time, and this was the first year I didn’t make it back for a visit. So what’s going on up there? I would hope it was just a small sample size of fans who acted out like that, but damn they were a serious black eye on the mafia. Cant tell you how many friends and co workers mentioned how nasty Bills fans are this week, Buy the end of the eeek i just gave up defending and had to agree to a point. 

     

     

    Good and bad folks in every fan base.  The Gabe and bass stuff is embarrassing but all fan bases have a few bad apples.  The crying stuff was a bit much too.   I don’t think we can call ourselves the best as I am sure every fan base thinks that but we are pretty unique and honestly fun.  We will get over any loss with some sadness and a *hit load of humor.   Go Bills.

    micah hyde question?

    where od you wanna begin you have your first opportunity for a job, we got the right people for a job, credit overdorf for creativity, you just try and find the right people to start with your program with, white, poyer, beyond that with many who left who helped shapethat. so many i'm inedbted to. micah and jordan, when you say one you gotta say the other. driving to the game i thought myself, it was defenses time to announce, said to myself, we had one last home game and one last opportunity to hear their names called. as competitiors when you hear it ... is a different life. you're up here and an elite athlete and all of the suddent it goes away. and like you said micah's evbaluating, i was extemrely proud watchign those two and their careers and how they handle themselves. and i know you guys were getting on them. you know who they are as humans and what they are all about and how they are handling with claass says who they are.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ----sounds like micah is gone

    Micah was great but dude needs to retire for own future. Those stingers after all the neck stuff the year before is not good. Will always remember that INT in Pats playoff game. 

  3. Have four boys who have never lived in Western NY and Nor Cal most of their life.   We are all Bills fans and 3/4 are pretty die hard.  The one who is not die hard is just not that into sports.   I joke that if they cheer for another team they are sleeping outside.  I think though just watching all the games and going to a few here or there and just seeing brothers and other family members so into it keeps them a part of it
     

    honestly I probably respect their fandom more than locals as each time the Bills lose they hear it from all their classmates who most are niners fans.  It gets pretty brutal but they still support.  What’s sorta crazy is I think some of their classmates and friends have started somewhat cheering for Bills as they see how much we get into it.  We wear Bills gear not just on Sunday. As corny as this is, it is more a family crest than a team logo. Niners fan base is just not the same and people know it. Go Bills.

    I’ll be rooting for the Chiefs to get to the Super Bowl.

     

    I don’t dislike the Chiefs and I don’t dislike Mahomes. 

     

    But I will root for the NFC team in the Super Bowl. 
     

    I liked Mahomes somewhat until this season and his whining to Allen about officiating. He’s got amazing talent but that showed what an entitled brat he is.  The apple don’t fall far from the tree….he’s more like his brother than his pretend Mr nice guy image.

    I have been hard on Josh's post season, film, and decision making. But he seemed much different the back end of this year. 

    One notable mention was that he directly said "I am anxious to get back into the lab and start working". Normally we hear "Gonna let the body heal" or "I will take some time to decompress from this" or "We will work on some things this offseason". 

    But this was much more along the lines of "lets get back to work". 

    Agreed. Today sucks and that loss will sting for a while but what can you do. Josh played a very good game up until 2 and 9.  he’s obviously the future as is McD after pulling them out of 6-6 to get to where we were. It still sucks but it is what it is. 
     

    It did seem like Josh wanted to really get back to work and left working with Jordan Palmer open. I hope he does.  While we will be in a cap hell of sorts this off season, thankfully some younger guys did shine this off season and most, if not all of line should be back. Need WR and hit on draft. Next year might be rocky but maybe not. In 2025 we should be out of cap hell though.

    The Bills weren’t just missing Milano then - they were missing his replacement too.

    We freakin had a guy who was getting his RV ready for a trip to the Florida Keys covering Travis Kelce in the playoffs. I know he knows the system but those plays killed us.

  7. It's all words but Josh Allen gave great EOY presser and looks like there was a fire in his eyes. We need that WR2 but I think we could be ok next year especially if we can retain Brady and Josh plays like he did somewhat down the stretch with little to no turnovers.  There will always be some. A lot of tough cap issues but JA is a leader.  Still numb but Who knows. Go Bills.

    I love it!  We get to end Kermit's season, after that MVP-2 and hopefully give Boomer the Bills-San Fran Super Bowl he always wished for.  Also Josh gets to beat his favorite team growing up as icing on that cake.

    Lets get pass Pitt.  Great story so far this year but we have played so inconsistent and down to opponents that nothing is a given tomorrow. Glad the changed the date. Start strong and make Rudolph throw and I think we will be OK. Go Bills.

    I'm a bit concerned about the possible game script. If the weather is quite poor; meaning cold, very windy, and snowing this could severely impact the Bills passing game. I think this negates are huge advantage for the Bills. 

     

    I myself don't want the Bills to get into a possession type run game scenario and game script with Pitt. That's exactly their strength. There's much less room for error here. 

     

    I'd rather have the Bills march down the field with a quick striking passing game. Utilizing Cook, Shakir, Kincaid, and Diggs. Get some big chunk plays and mix in the run. Go up two scores and force Pitt to pass more. Perhaps they will be able to still accomplish this. 

     

    I hate the fact that weather be reduce the Bills chances of winning. 

     

    Side note. A 10 point spread is ridiculously high. Take the points and cash your tickets. 

    Really hope for a quick start. If we can grab lead and Mason has to pass, then I think we will be fine but agree 10 seems way to high.

    He had to hold his phone with the camera on and scream at it.  If he wasn’t streaming live, he had to upload it.  If he was, it’s worse.  The 2020s are something else.

    It’s all for show. I think you could hear that really fat Dolphins fan calmly talk some before the rant about getting the stream started. We definitely have our share of goofballs too but what a bunch of idiots.

    Beteeen the Titans game and this game just mentally and physically exhausted - but can't sleep.  If the Titans didn't win and everything was on the line I think at some point during Bills game I might have ended up in the hospital tonight 😛

    I don’t think I could have watched and if so would have dropped when we didn’t get it on 4th.  Thought Josh shouldn’t have gone so high on that but in the end thank you Taylor rapp.

    Miami forum meltdown not to resign Tua LMFAO. you love to see it

    It’s sooooo good right now a couple of my favorites were comments about Shula rolling over in his grave and one comment hoping all Bills fans at the game get mauled by rabid raccoons (add **** words too). Go Bills.

    Then why watch?

     

    the fact they’re in position to get the 2nd season is a miracle

    We have had two rough games on O but in last six weeks we have also seen the Eagles and Cowboys game that does show we can excel as passing and running games. We are also relatively healthy. Obviously if O that has played last couple weeks show up, we are done but we can beat the stinky fish. Let’s go Buffalo.
