    I bet you worship the metric system too. 

     

    Might as well start drinking tea and eating crumpets you anglophile.

    Lol!

     

    Born and raised in Buffalo, and the closest I come to being an anglophile is liking Monty Python!

     

    YouTube is loaded with videos explaining why the rest of the world, not just England, pronounces it that way. But thanks for playing!

    Thats not really true but what is true is at one point everyone called Alice In Chains "Kindergarden" because they went from being a hair metal glam band to a more rock band in the mold of soundgarden.   Then they found their own way.

     

    what is true is that Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden were tight because Chris  and Andy were roomates and across the street lived shawn smith who went on to form Brad with Stone and made a whole bunch of great records. It is beyond painful that none of these three great songwriters/singers are alive.

     

    Also I always viewed it as the Big Five because I include The Screaming Trees in the conversation.  Plus Tad made two great records in that moment in time.

     

    anyway Go Bills.

    Could not agree more about the Screaming Trees. Sweet Oblivion and Dust are essential listening!

    Not a bad idea, but poor Bass!

     

    Imagine being in this position, clearly wanting, and likely doing everything possible to get better.  But things are still spiraling, to some degree, and then the added pressure of people calling for your head.

     

    It'd  be really hard to overcome.  I guess it is part of the deal for an NFL kicker.

     

     

    Once a kicker is in his own head they are done.

  4. I also thought he had plenty of time to adjust to it. It seemed like the moment was just to big for him.

     

    For a while I was buying into the "quietly got better" thing. But that clearly didn't happen. At least not yet. Still early in the season and maybe they will gel, and a few guys will step up, but so far the entire group, including tight ends are underperforming.

     

    Brady is also not helping the situation, with many questionable calls. It boggles the mind how we are still so terrible at simple screen passes.

    Have bad feet and cannot stand all game.  Many of the games in Ralph Wilson Stadium I sat in friends' first row seats on second level.   I have been to a couple other games and it was hit or miss if was able to see much of game on field bur usually could see on Jumbotron.

     

    At away games I have always been able to sit most of game without people in front of me.

    At Ravens game I had ticket at last row and able to sit on edge of seat back and see game.

    At Cardinals stadium everyone in front of me was sitting but there was a girder DIRECTLY in front of seat - ticket said "partly obstructed".  The overhang from seats above also blocked view and TVs were barely visible.

     

    It is odd to charge for seats and not be able to use them except to put gear on.

    I started by Bills fandom at the Rockpile, where I literally sat "behind a post".

    Went to Acrisure Stadium to watch the preseason game against the Steelers for my first away game. Grateful for the win because I wasn't sure if my undefeated streak would translate outside Highmark. But aside from not seeing a touchdown live for the first time, I was shocked to see fans sitting down. Like with butts in their seats. Sure, when a play came to the sideline people stood to see, but momentarily. I asked the locals and they said aside from when they play Renegade or an exceptionally tense series at the end of the game, people get angry when you stand. 

     

    The only home games I've been able to sit down at is when I was able to get a club seat, or the nosebleeds. The rest of the time, even in closer rows, I've had to stand. Is this just a WNY thing?

    It didn't used to be like this. I can't stand going to the stadium anymore because of it. Had season tickets for years but I just got tired of standing up for the entire game. I miss the atmosphere and the tailgating, but I'm to old to stand up for 3 hours straight, plus my wife is vertically challenged and can't see anything at all. Watches the entire game through the scoreboard. 10 ft projector screen and a couple easy chairs more than makes up for it.

    This question is different for everyone, but for me it has to do with the magnitude of the game.  I have little inclination to attend a game that we're supposed to mop the floor with our opponent.  

     

    Since I no longer have STs like many others, I buy secondary market tix.  I'd much rather pay more for a pivotal game in nicer weather or for a playoff game.  And when I say nicer weather, I'm not referring to cold as much as I'm referring to slop, like drenching rain or wet heavy snow.  Cold (to an extent) and dry snow is fine.  

     

    These days the parking & traffic situation is miserable as well, so I won't be doing anything until the new stadium opens anymore and the parking situation hits a steady-state.  

     

    As many have mentioned, age has a lot to do with it, and in the '80s and '90s mobility and partying were not as big a deal.  You're young, it's an afterthought.  As you age it's no longer an afterthought, it's a forethought.  LOL  

     

    I really enjoy Bills Backers bars which are pretty much like being in a Buffalo bar during games.  During the game everyone is focused on the game.  It's the next best thing to being there IMO.  And heck, for what, $75, you can eat and drink like a king.  Any good BB bar will have the game on multiple if not all TVs.  

     

    Given our fanbase, it's almost just as much fun going to road games since we takeover often and vex the opposing fans, and there are always great tailgates to latch onto with fellow fans always being welcoming.  

     

    Once we make a Super Bowl, I'll definitely go to Buffalo for the game though, to be there for the WNY-wide party.  

     

     

    I lived in Florida for a while in the early 2000s. My wife and I  went to a Bills backer bar nearby, we were playing the Browns, last game of the season. If we win we are in.

     

    The pub apparently was also a Browns backers bar as well and there were about 50 Browns fans and about 4 other Bills fans. The wings were the only good part about that day, as we got destroyed and the place couldn't have been more annoying, with all the screaming dogs!

    There is nothing like the stadium experience and you can’t duplicate it.  However, generally speaking you see the game  and action better on your TV at home.  Which vantage point do you prefer and why? 

     

    I am personally torn because I love tailgating with friends, the energy of a live game and the people watching aspect of crazy fans.  However, I also like the comfort of my abode and the multitude of cameras on the action.  If given only one choice, I would have to say live at the stadium is more fun.

    Had seasons for years but gave them up.

     

    10 ft screen, comforts of home vs. $18 beers, having to stand up the entire game because of idiots. Not rocket surgery.

    Unlike the Texans and Giants, I think the Ravens alternates look decent. The Logo is more interesting than their current one, and the purple/gold color scheme looks just as good as the Vikings 😉

     

    Any reason why the Bills refuse to do anything like this, despite the fan interest in an alternate red helmet or other alternate?

    Red helmets, ugg! I could live with blue helmets. Let the Chiefs keep the red helmets.
