  1. I'm coming from Cleveland for Bills Browns game and trying to decide where to stay for access to game. We're going to stay overnight and Hamburg Hampton Inn is one option. Says it is a 10 minute ride but not sure if they offer shuttles. I've read about Uber after the game. Any thoughts on best options to stay?
  2. Obtained tickets from ticketmaster today
  3. Sorry I'm late to this, but was trying to process this since I live in Cleveland and have had to absorb this type of thing since the Browns traded for Watson. What kind of investigation did the Bills do since they drafted him and why did they release their other punter if they knew this was coming? My wife won't watch another Browns game because of Watson and I can't blame her if she does the same about the Bills. I love the team and was hoping this year would finally be their calling. Even if only partially true based on police tape story, they should drop him and find another punter. Bad look for team in any event.
  4. Welcome to Cleveland. I moved here two years ago from South Carolina and live near the Lake on the west side. Unfortunately, you will be getting those lake affect snow squalls, but it is not as bad as the Nor'easters I used to endure in CT. I would love to travel to Bills games now that I am close but ticket prices have gotten out of my price range as I near retirement. Hope your trip goes well.
  5. I don't know if you contact NFL network or cable company, but while I live in Cleveland area I've been blacked out for both Bills preseason games for A football life. Interestingly my other TVs showed the Colts-Lions game. I have Spectrum but decided I'll just watch the replay tonight on NFL network. Its a mystery to me and apparently others. There are no local broadcasts I can get from here. May look into this NFL + next year.
  6. I’m still in a quandary about local market games on NFL Network for preseason. Somehow Cleveland was included as a local market last week and I couldn’t watch the game live. We don’t get Buffalo stations here although I can get WGR radio. Does anyone know another way to get this preseason game since it will be the only one starters will play in? I could have posted as separate topic but figured it’s related to this game.
  7. But I live in Cleveland. It’s bad enough I have to watch Browns games during season.
  8. Why is game not on NFL network? They’re showing A football life about Chris Spielman in Cleveland.
  9. Here in Cleveland, they are excited to announce 20 of the 24 cases against Deshaun have been settled. Non disclosure agreements will be executed and 4 cases are still pending. Do you think the NFL will let him off with a minimal suspension or fine? Browns fans are hungry for this to be over and I guess the NFL is too. One of the cases that didn't settle involves the woman who initially spoke up about this.
  10. Titans got their justice in that SB when Dyson came up "1 yard short"
  11. Just saw Steelers are paying major money $18.4 per year average with 36 million guaranteed for Minkah Fitzpatrick. How does this affect Poyer negotiations? Don't expect Bills to go that large but it certainly hampers negotiations on a new deal.
  12. I just rewatched the October KC game on NFL Network and the game was closer than I remembered. If not for the tipped pick 6, KC had regained momentum in the second half. I've seen too many games we should have one go up in smoke including SB 25. Yes I worry every game.
  13. I guess you have to wonder what Stephon Diggs is thinking with these huge receiver contracts. The yahoo article was pointing out that the big contracts are going to have an effect at some point. I think Bills and Diggs have unfinished business that is keeping players around. Those who don’t remember the salary purge in 1999 that cost us Bruce, Andre & Thurman should be reminded that money always counts. Let’s hope we get that ring before that time comes
  14. I won’t blame coaching for this loss since many decisions made got us to 13 seconds. After several days of sadness for the missed opportunity I think we should look at the fact we had the opportunity. With a QB like Josh and the management team continuing to find opportunities we will be in the mix every year for the foreseeable future. Andy Reid was seen as a loser in Philly after having sucess for more than 10 years. Manning and Colts finally won, Roethlesberger got his, so did Brees and Rodgers. I’ve been following Bills since the 60’s when we won our last championship. I think we are in position to be a great team for a long time. The SB will come and it will feel great!
  15. I probably will watch to see if someone can knock off the Chiefs, but my rooting interest is faint at best. Even though it is still another year to go, I don't want the Chiefs to make 4 superbowls in a row.
  16. Cincy will get better, but they are not on the Chiefs level. It will be interesting to see if KC plays the Rams in Super Bowl and Rams win in their home stadium. KC deserves to suffer the same fate as last year.
  17. I can't believe the whole state of Ohio has to watch the Cincinnati/SF game? I'm in Cleveland and much closer to Buffalo.
  18. I watched the Manning cast because I can't stand the ESPN Monday night guys. Peyton was calling plays most of the night and seemed frustrated with some of those calls near the goal line. If Bills ever let Josh call plays I think he will be more like Kelly and make the adjustments needed. I kind of feel he does that sometimes when the play breaks down, but some of those run calls inside the 10 had no chance. Probably won't happen until Daboll is gone, but...
  19. I've moved several times and not strayed since the Bills entered the NFL. I watched Browns games as a kid in the 60's NFL. My first live game was in 1975 lousy rainy weather game but really ramped up my love when Chuck Knox took over and I lived in Buffalo in the early 80's. Moved to the following areas: Miami - tough years when Marino was at his best and my son became a lifelong Dolphins fan DC (Maryland) - Bills super bowl years and I was able to get additional AFC games on Baltimore channels plus team was on national games often Chicago - Listened to games on internet radio finally went back for one Bills - Giants game with my daughter and was surrounded by drunken Canadian hockey fans in the upper bleachers New England (Boston & CT) Has Direct TV NFL package for the whole time. Met a Patriots season ticket holder at a Neil Diamond concert and went to 2 games at Gillette. We lost both times, but fans really weren't too obnoxious. Met some Bills fans there too. Bluffton, SC - Found Bills backers bar (R Bar) and had beef on weck but never made it over for a game. Bills finally became relevant again. Cleveland - Lots of Browns fans including my son in law. They are mostly like us craving a winning team. Closer to Buffalo so may make it up for some future games. Loved Bills all those years and hope they can finally bring home a Super Bowl trophy before I go.
  20. I don't live in New York, so I guess I would need the card until they change the policy
  21. I have a copy of the card on my phone that I thought would be good enough. Do you actually have to produce the vaccination card? Haven't been to a game yet, but would like to be prepared in case I do.
  22. This may be a little off topic, but It seems as though KC and Buffalo are on the same trajectory offensively. Both teams have QBs who like to improvise and the better teams have it figured out. With the upcoming schedule (Indy, NO?, TB and NE) we will be facing some tough defenses that have the benefit to see what works against Buffalo. I'm assuming there is no one out there that can help us with the RBs and offensive line, but think we need to find a way to be less predictable.
  23. I think the 2 was unnecessary. Could it have to do with the spread? Miami beat us all those years ago in the 70s but the grudge has lost its luster since Marino retired.
  24. There’s a place called the Hog Pit in Chelsea on 30th street between 7th and 6th. Great pulled pork and big Bills flag over bar. Been a couple years but I think it’s open.
  25. Just moved to Cleveland area and am now within driving distance for some home games. Looking on Bills website and tickets are from ticketmaster that includes processing fees. I know stub hub does resales. Are there other sites to check to get the best price or best seats. Haven't been to a home game since 1999, but things have changed quite a bit since then. I'm interested in the mobile ticket process too and whether anyone has had problems with that. I have a wallet on my iphone so that should help. Any other helpful information for an old time Bills fan is appreciated.
