  1. I was finishing off my Christmas shopping yesterday and stopped in at the Bills store. A quick message to my sister in law and I got a lightning fast answer 'No Bills stuff for your nephews. They hate football. Unless it's a hat for their baseball teams forget about it'. I started thinking about my 7 nephews and nieces and what sports they follow, if any (all but 2 are over 30) One nephew is into football, but only college and only Michigan (he went there). Two nephews are into the NBA and soccer. The two other nephews aren't into sports, both have been to a Bills game with me. They had a great time, but they're only coming on a free ticket. The two nieces only watch hockey. How strong the football legacy in your family? I used to love watching football with my Dad, but NFL fandom seems like it will die out with me.
  2. I swore I would never buy another Bills jersey, but Tre'Davious White is challenging my resolve.
  3. Every 10 games or so the Bills win 1 of these. The long season is wearing on Brady, the effects of 3 extra playoff games to end the 2016 season, his age, getting hit a lot the last few games, the colder weather. Gronk's brutal hit on White is fresh in everyone's minds. The Bills should be pumped for this one. I think this is the 1 in 10.
  4. White is a young player with a solid reason to go after Gronk. I can see White playing lights out in this one, we already know he's good, this time he has extra motivation. Brady is finally showing his age. I'm going with the shock win.
  5. Couldn't see much of the game but had a blast. There actually was a bit of snow being thrown but the snow was pretty light even though there was a lot of it. I'm 50 and I've never seen and heard thundersnow in my life before, that was pretty cool!
  6. Lowest ticket prices on StubHub for this weekends home teams Colts at Bills $6 Titans at Cardinals $9 Bears at Bengals $14 Packers at Browns $19 Raiders at Chiefs $38 Detroit at Tampa $41 Jets at Broncos $48 49'ers at Texans $56 Vikings at Panthers $56 Ravens at Steelers $60 Seahawks at Jags $62 Cowboys at Giants $79 Eagles at Rams $165 We're #1!!!
  7. I am hoping it's one of those moments where I look back and say 'I was one of the 40K people who showed to watch Peterman's first full game in Buffalo' and then people say 'Was that the game the Bills won 63 - 6?' and I say 'Yes. The beginning of the new era. Everyone says they were there, but I was.' A man can dream.
  8. Dec 12, 2004 against Cleveland. Every year my wife would go for a girls weekend and I would make sure to get a Leafs ticket if they were in town that weekend. That was the year of the NHL lockout & I was looking for something to do, so I grabbed a single seat for my first Bills game. Soon as I saw the place I was hooked. The flags flying, the unique vehicles all dressed up for game day, smoke rising all over the place, people just flat out having a good time (some of them just flat out). I was amazed at how friendly most people were. Being on my own and being against Cleveland I had no trouble moving to different seats all around the stadium. Sat in my actual seat (40 yard line front row - hated it) ultimately ended up in the upper deck corner talking with some Browns fans. Called the Bills ticket office that week and got my first season tickets.
  9. I figure 45 - 50K for the first half and 30 - 35 K to start the second half. Two struggling teams getting ready to play in poor weather and it's the middle game of 3 in a row at home. Several people I tailgate with are skipping this one as they have long 5+ hour drives to the stadium and can't do 3 weekends of that in a row. I've been offered free tickets 3 times now. As far as badges of honor go, next year is 15 years for me, I'll stick around and get the piece of paper to hang in my office, but I'm going game by game the years after that.
  10. Not going to be any traffic problems getting out of this game. Two bad teams and cold weather sandwiched in the middle of 3 straight home games. Doubt 45K show up. Half empty by halftime.
  11. That's disgusting, that's horrible, but if it happens to Gronk Dec 24th I'm going to be cheering my head off.
  12. Me too. There's a chance to pay this back on Dec 24th. If the league doesn't give Gronk 2 games for this go after his knees.
  13. The Pats are going to set the single game scoring record against us if we continue as we have been the last 2 weeks.
  14. Will the Patriots beat this record when they play us? Most points scored in a single game. Chicago Bears (73) (vs Washington Redskins (0)), Dec 9, 1940, (Championship Game) If our D has completely given up I say the Pats go for the record
  15. Congrats on making it to the 4th quarter. I left in the 3rd and the people in our section that usually yell abuse at fans who leave early had already left. 14 years with seasons and I've never walked out in the 3rd quarter. I'm trying to decide if the worst Bills game I've ever seen was yesterday's game or the 6 - 3 mess in Cleveland.
  16. I use this, the greatest thing that FB wants pulled and doesn't want you to know about and it's free http://www.fbpurity.com/ Not sure if this relates to the OP, but it is a great way to filter crap our of FB
  17. I think the Raiders will crush NE in Mexico City. Tons of Raiders fans there, high altitude, pollution. Brady is going to have a tough time there, he's something like 3-8 in the altitude of Denver, Mexico City gives him altitude, heat and pollution.
  18. The new version of “All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night” makes me want to vomit a bit. Add that to the list of potential reasons people are bailing.
