  1. Maybe on Thursday mercury sun but everyone on that golf course today knew who Josh Allen was. You constantly overheard about the number of Bills fans there. It was an awesome Bills experience. Watched them lose twice this year (kc and Indy) and while I would of rather him not be eligible to have played in this event this year, it was a nice consolation prize in some respect. Him and his family were super cool and nice to my kids; he signed the autographs, gave fist bumps, posed for photos and created some great memories. In words of TO “that’s my quarterback”. Long live JA17. Go Bills.
  2. Not a food snob but having worked at a Hut back in 90s as dishwasher/cook will never go near one. Really nasty. His Twitter feed gives impression he might not be too high on Bills and management. I bet his is gone by March.
  3. I wonder if Dorsey will start in the booth or sideline? Didn’t Daboll start on sideline but had to go to booth.
  4. Last pro golf event I went to was 30 years ago in Rochester. What is etiquette for these things? Is it ok to scream let’s go Buffalo after he tees off? Thought I was going to have to put away the 17 jersey for the season but getting one more wear. Go JA17. Go Bills.
  5. RIP and sorry for your loss. GoBills
  6. huh? WTF are you talking about? People are upset and rightfully so. it seems like we had our best shot in decades to win it all and unpredictable nature of NFL, cap numbers, cool aching changes makes it that much more challenging to get back to a position we were in but if anyone can will it, it is JA17. I also think another year for Diggs and Josh to gel and Gabe as #2 should be awesome. I really hope Rossaue (sp?) and Basham come on strong too. Go Bills.
  7. or if there is some bad blood with mcclappy. I forgot if it was Colts game or first Pats where McD presser seemed to indicate that there was some friction with him and Daboll. If Dorsey leaves hopefully locker room can stay tight. I imagine it does as core should still be here and losing like this hopefully is good motivation fodder for off season and next year. Go Bills.
  8. Dude, no one is crapping on anything but lets be real. We blew an amazing opportunity due mainly to coaching. An opportunity that as we have learned since the Bills first came into league in 1960 (granted AFL and we have those “championships”) do not come around frequently. I hope this team comes out so fired up at beginning of year and runs the table and with JA17 anything is possible. But NFL seasons are brutal like a WNY winter and unpredictable.
  9. certainly I agree with some of this but getting to a Super Bowl and then winning it is not easy. Yes Allen is great and yes we are championship caliber but that doesn’t mean crap. If this season taught us anything, it is that momentum and staying relatively healthy means a lot. We were incredibly lucky with the exception of great Tre White to stay injury free. Whose to say that happens next year. Also we were really peaking the last half of the season, again that can change too. We were a team that was capable of losing to J-ville when not clicking. I guess what people are so frustrated about is knowing that in terms of opponents and paths to the Lombardi, it may never be as straight as it was going into last Sunday. There are no guarantees. Damn, just one before I die. Go Bills.
  10. Sad but that’s pretty good.
  11. loudest stadium I have ever been. Cool tailgating scene and WWI museum was phenomenal. Most of fans cool and knowledgeable. Just like BLO, some morons but all and all some real good people. I’m sure in a few weeks after I’ve recovered from 13 seconds, I’ll say it was a cool experience. Lol. Go Bills.
  12. Just curious what are vet players (Hyde, poyer) were thinking or said during this. Unreal. Who called the defense during the TOs? Didn’t hear presser from McD but sounds like he didn’t say much.
  13. Bit of a loser mentality but kinda don’t want the Chiefs to win as I don’t want them to sniff 4 straight AFC championships. However definitely see arguments on both sides and have a feeling they will roll over Cincy.
  14. Infuriating. What the hell.
  15. You have to respect what McD has done in terms of changing the culture and he seems to be a good dude and fine motivator. But game management wise he is a bit of a liability. He seems to fix mistakes but only after they happen. Obviously can’t get rid of him but next year will be interesting. I don’t remember why Reid let him go in Philly but curious if anyone else does.
  16. Just curious what, if any, news there is on his injury and time table to get back. As a corner I can’t imagine he will be 100 percent next year.
  17. we have 90s Dolphins written all over us right now. Need to get pass the Grim Reeper. This one really sucks
  18. Great post and thank you. The tailgating, family reunions are irreplaceable. Many of us live all over the country/world but when you spot a Bills fan it brings you back to family. What really sucks about this one is the blown opportunity. I’m 45 and I joke that I just need one before I die. Driving to hotel from arrowhead for first time I kinda thought that it might not happen. It’s a silly game but just one before I die. Go Bills
  19. Same. Worst part leaving Arrowhead and getting all the ataboys from Chief fans. Most of them just being kind and gave them fist bumps back but so tired of being a fan of the same old bumbling Bills. We blew a big opportunity last night.
  20. Misery loves company. Obviously much more important things in life than this but this one certainly stings more than I can remember including MCM as I just don’t remember that being as much of a blown opportunity as this. With that being said Bills fans still the best. While I can’t wait to take a break from football for a while after last night, I have a feeling most of us will be back next year for the ups and downs of our Bills. This one really sucks though. Go Bills and thanks all.
  21. same here. Trying to sleep in some damn hotel room in Kansas City and can’t wait to get out of here. Had a great visual on Gabe catching what should of been winning touchdown. I know with Allen anything is possible but this is an enormous blown opportunity of epic proportions. With wide right you still kinda knew that with core of team they would be back and music city miracle was so nuts with the Johnson-Flutie crap that it was just more anger. This is simply Fn gut wrenching and something that makes you question why year after year you get so into this crap. Can’t imagine things lining up better next year or any year and window, even with Allen, is closing if not shut. Go Bills.
  22. Will be there with my better half from CA and cousin from GA. Sitting in 117. KC bills backers site has lots of info. Staying downtown and hopefully heading to Taps on Main Sat night. This should be a great game. Go Bills.
  23. Not sure this is right thread but any idea on where one should stay in KC? Is rental car needed? Looks like stadium a good ways from airport and not in downtown. There less than 48 hours but would like to grab some bbq or hit any major site. Is there a Bills backer club or place to go Sat night. This will be a heavy weight fight. Go Bills.
  24. Can’t do it. For better or worse, because of blood or otherwise, it’s a life sentence. At the end, while I thought I would stop caring as much as I reach almost a half century as Bills fan and this season is one of the most disappointing I have experienced, it’s still about family and nothing better than Bills fans. Last night really sucked though. Go Bills.
