rockpile

Thanks for the detailed report! Reading through the "camp tweets" thread, I get all ADD from the hashtags and links.

From a selfish fan perspective the seating kind of sucked. Too many people for the available seats and at east half of the good seats were reserved (taped off). To the bleachers! LOL

Photo of me, my oldest daughter and two grandsons at camp last night. We had a great time compliments of two friends who sent me tickets! http://buffalobills.dpmsmobile.com/EventPhotos/buffalobills/LT70/2017_bills_training_camp/2017-07-27/D646C3.jpg

My wife works in an adult home and she says nothing is worse than a wrinkled and distorted tattoo on a former wild child. I have a snake tattoo on my upper arm that serves no purpose. LOL ...or you just can roll over and spell MOM or WOW.

Great. I now have tickets (thanks to two friends) and it is POURING out.

As it has been said, NE is two regular season games. Maybe they would keep us out of the AFC Championship game, but two losses should not keep us out of the playoffs. Like every other dynasty, NE "dynasty" will not last forever. Back to the topic, there are some interesting ideas, but I cannot say I have a good answer. Buffalo has to take the responsibility for becoming a winner by itself, not by putting the team somewhere that they do not have to play good teams.

Didn't they (Jets) beat us twice last year?

That is all that matters. If the Bills become winners, nothing else matters. Fans will have no reason to dissect him. dis·sect dəˈsekt,dīˈsekt/ verb analyze (something) in minute detail. synonyms: analyze, examine, study, scrutinize, pore over, investigate, go over with a fine-tooth comb

So, you do not need to show a ticket to get on the night practice shuttle. True?

There were times in recent years, when I got to a ticket place 30 minutes after they opened and tickets were gone or there was a line out the door. Like anything in demand, they will go quickly. I do not know how else they could distribute the free tickets "fairly".

The way I read the schedule, I thought the MyOneBuffalo option was only for August 23rd. The other games needing tickets were each assigned a different physical pickup location only. I could be wrong!

Thanks for the link. The locations for where you can obtain tickets really stinks!

I watched it at a bar. The place was packed and there was no place to sit, so we suffered the first half standing. At half time, many people left, so we grabbed a nice seat. Even after the second half started with another Oilers touchdown, we stayed put. Our logic was that if we went home, our spouses would have things for us to do, and we would probably turn on the radio anyway (addiction is a B word). So we stayed where the chairs were comfortable and the beer was cold, and watched the comeback! The bar had a legal occupation capacity they were pushing to the limit and we smiled as people lined up outside, trying to get back in. In my opinion, this game is best appreciated when watched from start to overtime finish. It better illustrates how Buffalo had to go from their lowest to their best, as Houston fans sat there in total disbelief.

I am not going to read through hundreds of replies to check, but I am sure this has been said already. No offense or criticism is intended or implied. I just think it shows how far the Bills have fallen, when we are looking at the 2018 draft class in the Spring of 2017.

Just win, Baby! I want the Lombardi Trophy in Buffalo! AFL Champions - 1964, 1965 AFC Champions - 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 NFL Champions - in my dreams

It is one thing to be face to face, having a good time, busting chops, etc. You can read body language, hear sarcasm, say something ridiculous or outrageous, and wink. I also rarely post (except for my annual fundraiser) and I enjoy some of the playful comments, but when the thread "stoops to mockery and derision", I go to another thread or site. YES, I come here for entertainment and have a very thick skin. My chops have been busted to the breaking point - in good humor! To my point of view, bad behavior is NOT entertainment. To SDS and the Moderators, and many who contribute to the Wall, thank you for making this STILL my #1 Bills site. I have been here since day one and do not plan to change.

Special Thanks to Jack for being non-supportive again this year. Love you, Bro! As of this moment, sponsor total is $1,240! Thanks SO much. Did a warm up walk today on the treadmill at Planet Fitness. 30 minutes - 1.5 miles. MAN am I out of shape! Tomorrow the weather forecast at 10:00 AM, when the walk starts, is 40 degrees with showers. Like tailgating in November! It is not too late to sponsor me, if you have been procrastinating. I will be sure to get a photo or three for Jack. Thank you all. Rock
