  1. While watching I kept thinking how much it must suck to have Philbin as your coach. He looked completely defeated by the end of the 1st quarter.

    If you can, go easy on coach Philbin please. He lost a child not long ago and I'm sure it has sucked the life out of him. I'm not asking anyone to restrict their freedom of speach, just to have an understanding heart - if you're able to.

  2. Google: NFL GAMEPASS.

    Sign up and for approximately $260 you get the entire season + playoffs and SB + access to NFL network through about 31 July next year (therefore u get the combine, draft, nfl network shows, etc.)

    It works for me here in Seoul, South Korea. Great connection and no issues

    Forgot to add .... U can watch all the games and watch them anytime u want - not just when they are being broadcast

  3. Works in South Korea where I'm at now.

    I had a problem with viewing 2 years ago and learned through game pass customer service that it had something to do with the Adobe Version I had on my laptop. Don't know how Adobe is related to viewing game pass, but updating to the latest version of Adobe worked for me. I hope it helps you.

    What country are you in? If you do mind me asking .... I'm just asking bc I like to know how spread out our fan base is.

  4. Welcome aboard - I'm sort of a newby myself around here! We need your type around here to chime in and tell us from time to time how it was being a Bills fan in the 1960s. We look forward to your input! Have a wonderful day!

  5. Goodell's failure to acknowledge CTE in any meaningful way is what really needs to be discussed. No NFL dedicated testing, awareness campaigns, research or funding for afflicted ex-players. Plenty of time and money for breast cancer awareness and abused women, but not one penny of marketing promotions dedicated to the disease that directly afflicts the players as a result of the game itself.

     

    The hypocrisy disgusts me. It would be like the military pretending PTSD didn't exist while promoting awareness of fibromyalgia. Goodell needs to get real with this disease, and start supporting the wounded warriors of the NFL whose lives are at real risk within a few years of retirement. THAT should be the fallout of this story.

    BEST POST EVER - On this board anyway.

  6. 21 years active service in the Marines. Was in aviation Fixed wing (harriers). I retired in 2011 fully along with 90 percent disabled so I decided to go back to school. I chose nursing, graduate with a 4 year from Dyouville next spring. Will be working at the VA hospital on Bailey in Buffalo most likely. Whats your story? I never was stationed in Korea , just Japan but did a 3 week stint up in Pohang (Marine expeditionary Camp Pohang)

    I've been in since '94, 5 years enlisted (made my E5 and dam proud of it) in combat support and 16 years as an officer - where they assigned me as logistician. If you can believe it, I haven't lived in the US since 1995. Have served throughout Europe and Asia and love it - ALOT - but more than ever I'm ready to come home. I definitely know Pohang - partied hard there - girls dancing on tables, whiskey and everything else. I also spent time at Camp Zama - wow were the ladies great there - and of course went to Roppongi in Tokyo -WOW. We have definitely crossed paths. Anyway, now I have to take care of my wonderful son, my profile pic ( I still don't know how to rotate that picture) I just promised him today that I will take him to his first Bills game around Thanksgiving this year - I have to wait for the scheduled to be published. It will be a huge culture shock for me to come back to the states - I hope I don't do or say anything too offensive . Finally - Thanks for sharing your background!!!

    Super bowl TV...come on...AFN....always carried the NFL playoffs when I was watching! OK, maybe Korean Tv doesn't, but......on base for sure. OK 6am is tough...but, for true fans, you can do it. Also, can buy the game on the internet real time if you are outside of NA....my son did it in Japan for 7 years.

    As I believe I stated earlier in this post - the game wasn't on local tv when I thought it would be. I didn't say I didn't watch the SB. Also, AFN is not available to those who live in apt towers such as myself where satellite dishes are prohibited - I'm on the 21st floor of a 32 story apt bldg. Additionally, I also stated earlier that I ALWAYS wake up for each game at 2am Monday morning so a 8:30am SB start time is easy - they give us the day off for the game. FYI, I watch my games online on NFL GamePass. Sorry if I mislead u in an earlier post.

  7. Welcome from both a fellow Bills fan and veteran. I did two tours in Korea, first time up at Camp Howze, and second time at Camp Casey...ahh, fun times, fond memories :-)

     

    Welcome again and Let's Go Buffalo!!

    I've been to both camps - good stuff!

    Thanks for your kind welcome!

    Welcome to the board and thank you for your service!! You will find us obnoxious at times but don't take it personally. We all love this team and just have different views on how to reach our common goal.

    Obnoxious ? I love it! Bring it on! I can take!

  8. Wow - that's awesome!!! You're further away from home than I am. I made a promise to mead107 that I'm coming back for a game later this year.... I already did half the coordination today - will be there in conjunction with thanksgiving - I'm just waiting for the schedule to be published. Join us if u can.

    I am at Hammer's lot for every home opener when the Navy hasn't kept me away. (Back corner by the pine trees) This year I just hope it isn't week one as my wife and I are taking a trip to celebrate my retirement!

    Would love to see you! I'll post my my agenda as we get closer to thanksgiving. Is it appropriate to bring my 6 year old son along to a tailgate at HammerLot? I really don't know - so it's a serious question.

  9. Glad you are with us.

     

    Dang still in the Army! going for 30 yrs?

    No, our Navy friend who was one of the first to comment has done 30 years. I've only completed 21 years - we'll almost - in April 2015 I will have completed 21 years. Anyway, thanks for your kind welcome.

    Always great to have another vet around. Be safe over there in the land of soju and kimshi

    Thanks for your welcome - what's your story ? With the US Marines I assume ?

  10. Thank you both for your service greatly appreciated.

    You will both have to get to Hammer's for a tailgate party.

    That's an order. I will forgive you for not sending the wine

    You got it! I'll bring my son too - pictured (although I haven't yet figured out how to rotate his pic). He's almost 6 but turning into a mans man - I think he can handle - unless you might advise otherwise.

    Anyway - I look forward to it. I'll choose a game when the schedule gets published and will let you know. Done!

  11. the bills didn't win over any korean fans when they had gangnam style do the halftime show during that toronto game????!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, I remember that, it was TOTALLY unbelievable for me.... That they imported that Korean stuff so close to my hometown / region. Not only are there no Bills fans in Korea (Among the Korean populace) but they didn't even show the Superbowl here. I checked all the local channels during the game and asked my Korean friends about it - they were clueless about the game. I was surprised because I always hear about the game being a worldwide broadcast.

    Thank you for your service and welcome!

     

    But, real men post from North Korea. North Korea is Best Korea.

    Hahahahahaha....... Thanks for the Richie Incognito bully style welcome ...... I like it and I'm smiling ..... Not sarcasm. I look forward to the off-season banter.

  12. I lived near the Mokdong station most of my time there so yeah I passed your neighborhood a few times ha. I went to the tower a couple of times, nice area. The base is/was right there right? Are they really going to do away with the American presence there? Up by the boarder is bizzarro. I was going to go for a visit but they shot a missile over Japan that week, ah well. I generally don't like hermits anyway, no senses of humor. I lived by a dog farm in Pagu BTW, only there for a month though, noise from that place was intense and not pleasant. On the otherhand there was a drive in movie there which was kind of strange and fun.

     

    BTW I would think the only Bill fans are at the base. I didn't find any amongst the teachers I knew lol

    For now, the US is staying right where they have been for the last 60+ years - I know because I'm a lead on the transition team.

     

    It's hard to find like minded fans from any team because the 1pm (EST) Sunday games start on Monday in Korea at 2am/3am (depending on the fall season time change). Let me tell you, during the season, Monday is a LONG work day - especially if your boss doesn't get up to watch football. Thanks for sharing your Korea experience with me!!

  13. I'm just waking up here on Sunday morning - thanks for all the warm welcome messages - it's really appreciated!

     

    As far as the gratitude for my service - thank you, but I'm the one who made out in the deal with all the great travel and memories.

    Try

    pretty cool place. nothing but LPs played on turntables. 1000's of LPs in a library stack behind the bar. different. get the korean fried chicken, fantastic.

    Will do SOON. When I go, I'll take picture and post for you. Thank you for the suggestion.

    and as an avid 9 ball billiards player , I was totally awestruck by the game "3-Cushion" played there..and elsewhere. What a game. Still looking for 3-Cushion table in the Korean-American clusters in the D..C. area. Try it. Very cool.

     

    Welcome to the club! While you may occasionally get abused for your point-of-view, this is probably the best place on the planet to stay abreast of the Bills.

     

    I spent 13 months at Camp Casey in 1988. Back in those days, all of 2ID was stationed there though I hear both Casey and TDC are much different now. But I loved it in my time. The Korean people were friendly and the food was great. If I knew I was going to die tomorrow, I'd have Korean BBQ tonight.

     

    Thanks for your service (not retiring yet?), enjoy Seoul, and Go Bills!

    Inside, Camp Casey is mostly the same. Outside the post, the entertainment has changed - somewhat. (My first time there was in 1998). The Korean people are good to me too. I'll have 21 years on 1 April and have no plans whatsoever to stop - truthfully, I think I'm scared to stop serving. Anyway, thanks for your welcome.
