  1. December 27, 1998 at New Orleans.

     

    I grew up a Bills fan down here, but this was my first chance to actually get to a game. 18 years old, just got my drivers license just in time for the Bills to come to my home state.

    I remember meeting and hanging out with many Bills fans before the game. Growing up I was surrounded by Cowboys, Niners, and Oilers fans. Saints fans didn’t really exist because they were a punchline at the time. It was my first time actually meeting other Bills fans besides myself and I remember being amazed that so many people loved and knew so much about the Bills like I did.

    Even though it was the last game of the season and the Bills played their starters only the first half because their playoff position was already locked in, I still had a blast and the Bills won too. I also got to meet Eric Moulds before the game as I had seats right behind the Bills bench.

    Another thing I remember is that how much in awe I was by how huge these guys are in person.

    @CajunBillsBacker

    is he crazy?

    It's never easy in the SEC, but they get Auburn & Florida at home, they don't play Georgia, and they can handle Texas.

    They have to go to Tuscaloosa, which will be the big one.

    We shall see.

    No he’s not. LSU is absolutely loaded this year, and we finally have a competent QB with Burrow.This team is loaded like our 2012 team that went 13-0 before crapping the bed against Bama in the championship.

    I saw someone mentioned our schedule being brutal, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. The key game to our playoff run is week 2 at Texas. Outside of Alabama and Texas, our next 3 toughest games are at home.

    win against Texas, there’s a very good chance we are unbeaten when we go to Alabama. And even with a loss to Alabama, an 11-1 LSU team will still likely make the playoff. But if we lose to Texas, Alabama becomes a must win in order to get in IMO.

    @Red pinto Tailgate..saw @CajunBillsBacker on Captain Buffalos timeline last night..he is also a good follow for this stuff, and just a great guy!

    Thanks for the follow man! Yeah I had a pretty good conversation with Captain Buffalo in PM after those messages. We’re both pretty pumped up for the Nashville trip.

    I’m definitely going to setup tailgate, just not sure where  yet. The lot I’ve been looking at is the Main Event parking Lot. I had an email conversation with the owner of the lot and this lot seems to be far more lenient than the regular lots around the stadium as far as tailgating goes. I don’t want to commit on a pass until I know where everyone else is going though.

     

    you can check out the lot at maineventparking.com

    They have a nice parking area for a tailgate (shop ahead!), and plenty of time to hit downtown post-game. Maybe a local can give us some better advice? 

    Where would you recommend I park to setup a canopy and tailgate?

    Thanks for the head-up. I've been planning to go, but dragging my feet on getting tickets. I live only a few hours away from Nashville, so I'm looking to haul my grill down there and do some tailgating. 

    Any idea where you would setup? I’m looking to setup near other Bills fans.

  5. Anyone else planning on tailgating? I’ll be driving up to Nashville, so I’ll be bringing a few pieces of my tailgating equipment. Would be great to have other Bills fans in the area.

  6. I’ll be there. Sitting on the second row of section 314. It was either Nashville or Dallas as both are within driving distance. Chose Nashville because I’ve been to Dallas a bunch of times.

  7. I do remember her from way back when. RIP Sue!

     

    Im glad I’ve been around since then. Well I did take about a 10 year hiatus because of life, but I came back and got in contact with a few folks from here that I used to talk to back then.

    Speaking of old posters, anyone know what ever happened to RRich? He was always one of my favorite posters here.

    Great guy, but sorry, not on board with this.  One day 'retirement' contracts are for players, not fans.

     

    If the Bills want to honor him with a decal or moment of silence before the home opener (assuming he passes of course), that'd be great.

    Yeah agreed. Love Pancho, but there are other ways to honor him. There are some people who want to put his name on the Wall and I think that’s taking it a little too far.

    The good thing though is that the traffic is only bad twice a day. Once it pushes through, it's a straight shot.  

    You live here too?

    The left lane is always blocked by taxis and ubers trying to get into the Cell Lot across the street from the airport, and the right lane is either people trying to exit onto the service rd or the airport itself. It’s a brutal setup. If I’m in a rush to get home I’ll just cut through River Ridge. It’s longer in distance, but at least the traffic moves.

    Yeah, it is going to be a disaster!! They want people entering from Loyola I think in the meantime? It just looks like a mess.

    Yeah tell me about it, I’m not looking forward to it.

    I live right off Airline almost to St Rose, and work in Elmwood. Trying to get home passing  in front of the airport is a nightmare as it is, and will probably be worse when the new terminal opens until they get the access road situation l figured out.

  11. Before free agency, Jonah Williams was at the top of my board(assuming Q Williams, Josh Allen, Bosa, and Devin White were gone). I’ve been quoted here and on Twitter as saying the Bills should run to the podium if Jonah is available.

    Now after free agency, while I’d still be extremely happy with Jonah, I think DL has a glaring hole and I would like the Bills to do what it takes to get Q. Williams or Ed Oliver, or if they take Jonah Williams, trade back up for Christian Wilkins.

    I can’t wait until Thursday to see how this plays out.
