  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. That's disgusting, that's horrible, but if it happens to Gronk Dec 24th I'm going to be cheering my head off.
  6. 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.
  7. We're going to get creamed
  8. Replacing Brady's water with vodka
  9. The Pats are going to set the single game scoring record against us if we continue as we have been the last 2 weeks.
  10. Team rallies around Tyrod. Bills win by 6.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Have there been any Mathews injury updates? Any chance he is back for Oakland?
  17. I had us at 1-4 going into the bye, at 3-2 I don't think the D has been wasted. I think we've taken advantage of the D and snagged 2 extra wins. Tyrod seems to need his 1 go to guy. He spent the off-season getting in sync with Sammy, when Sammy left he started to get in sync with Mathews, then on to Clay. Now he needs to spend 2 weeks getting in sync with Zay (who did make 1 great catch out of bounds - he's got some skill). If Tyrod and Zay can get on the same page and Tyrod runs more often I can see this being a playoff team. With some good crowd noise and 2 strong defensive performances at home this team can make a move to 5-2. Winston & Carr* (*or EJ) do not have great road records, Winston looked poor against New England at home.
  18. I'm amazed we're at 3-2 heading into the bye. Had us at 1-4 or 2-3 best with any predictions I made. If the Bills fans show up and bring some noise for the next 2 home games this team, this amazing defense, can bring us to 5-2. Carr* & Winston are both under 500 on the road (*Manuel is 2-7 on the road if we get him). After that who scares you other than the Patriots & the Chiefs? Every other game is winnable with this defense.
  19. That's funny. I took my info from the Bengals site http://www.bengals.com/team/all-time-results/bills.htmlfigured it would be accurate.
  20. We've lost to them the last 3 times we played them. Haven't beaten them since 2010. A bit of recent historical doom for this one (though we beat them 10 straight before that). EDIT from the Bengals site, which I figured would be accurate, apparently not http://www.bengals.com/team/all-time-results/bills.html
  21. I swear I saw padded leather seats in the end zones. I can't imagine those fans are getting into the players heads. As a Bills fan this was the most exciting game I've seen in ages. As an NFL fan that was a sad TV spectacle.
  22. Sure would love to face the EJ Manuel Raiders on Oct 29th.
  23. He could have stayed on, could have been a great mentor to Jones, could have helped Jones through the rough patch that he has started with, could have believed in the process instead of bailing when Sammy was traded. So in short, no thank you.
  24. Terrible odds of drafting a good QB now
