GottaRun

Sorry for your loss.

I've been worrying lately, that 'Just one before I die' refers to playoff game, not Super bowl

To the bar - for whatever the bar has.

I got married in June of 1994. I've been married for 22 years since Super Bowl 28. IF I had put away $10/month since then for future Super Bowl tickets I would currently have around $2,640 (without interest).

What kind of cookies?

Did they send out the renewal notice? I'm heading into year 14, and for some crazy reason I must stay on until I get a 15 year certificate (plus I love the tailgate).

We (Canadians) can thank our 'free' health care for that.

Everyone has a different 'in' and 'out' point, that would be my 'out' point for sure.

Winner!

Yeah, but if the money didn't go here it would go somewhere else. You can't take it with you. For me the $100/game I spend is good value for what works out to be about 10 hours of entertainment (thank god for tailgating)

No kidding Jan 31, 1993 Cowboys 52 - Bills 17 Jan 30, 1994 Cowboys 30 - Bills 13 I can handle Atlanta or Green Bay winning. I'll be annoyed if the Steelers win it and physically ill (due to drink) if NE wins.

Watching this game and thinking, is it better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all? As much as I want to see the Bills in the playoffs I don't want our first playoff game back to look like this one looks for Miami.

And if I remember the story correctly the Bills won that day and a tradition was born.

I'm 4 or 5 cars up from the ketchup and mustard every home game, have been for ages. I've seen the ceremony enough that I don't really watch it anymore, instead I watch the people around it. It's fun to watch the reactions, people get excited, cellphones are out taking pictures, people want photos with Kenny, the crowd cheers. Fans that may only make it to a handful of Bills games in their lives make a point of being there for ketchup. There is a story behind it, Kenny's told me a few times, but I'm not great with remembering fine details so I'll leave the story telling to someone else.

I could swing New Years Eve or New Years Day with no problem. Christmas was always going to be a non starter for me. On one hand I hate the idea of Christmas Eve/day games, but on the other hand it gave me a chance to show my wife I value the big family traditions over football traditions. I actually came out of this pretty good. Thanks NFL!

"This Time We Mean It"

According to Wiki 'If a player has a legitimate long-term injury, his cap hit is still counted; however, the team is permitted to replace him with one or more players whose combined salary is equal to (or less than) that of the injured player, even if the additional players would put the team over the salary cap. If the team's cap room is larger than the injured player's cap hit, they may take on as much as their cap room; however, the injured player may not return to play until the team is again compliant with the original cap.' So if Tyrod is severely injured in the next 3 games, never plays again, gets his money then An insurer probably pays him, in 2017 the Bills can use the $16 million cap hit and 2018 the $17 million cap hit to sign someone else. I don't claim to understand this stuff, but if this is the case the risk of playing Tyrod does not seem too bad. ** so the $27 million being thrown around is his guaranteed money for the next 2 years ** I think?

I wonder if the Bills buy insurance to offset/cover injuries? In other words, if Tyrod blows a knee and gets his full payment I wonder if an insurer would actually be on the hook for the full payment and not the Bills.

Looking at our future home opponents for 2017 and I think season ticket sales will be okay. 2017 offers a few teams that opposing fans will want to see and Bills fans don't get a lot of chances to see (especially if you include preseason) 2018 will be full blown mayday mayday mayday - to me 2018 just looks ugly for sexy value 2017 Denver Oakland New Orleans Tampa Bay 2018 Jacksonville Tennessee Chicago Detroit

I'm staying in the 'we have a chance camp' until Sunday. After Sunday I'm facing the prospect of no Bills games with Bills playoff implications until Sept 2017. Let me hang onto the dream for 6 more days.

I don't think Steelers fans are too pumped for their team this year. Prices on Stubhub are hanging around face value on the seats I've checked.

I like this article on the NFL site - rankings and SuperBowl likelihood. We're at 12 - Fire everyone! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000748364/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-13-oakland-raiders-enter-top-three Such an important win for the Bills on Sunday. At 6-5, they are still a game back in the wild-card race. Yet, two of the teams they trail are certainly vulnerable. The 7-4 Broncos still have games remaining against the Patriots, Chiefs and Raiders. The Dolphins are the weakest team in the NFL with seven wins or more. Buffalo will host Adam Gase's upstarts at New Era Field on Christmas Eve. Then Rex Ryan's outfit closes out the season in, of all places, MetLife Stadium against those lovable Jets. #footballisfamily
