Looking for tickets to Miami game and seeing the same thing at fairly high prices. I see they only accept mobile tickets now and recommend you put them in your phone's wallet. Its been a while for me going to a home game, so hoping for a good experience as I'll be driving up from Cleveland area. Any help on ticket sites and availability is appreciated.

Bills preseason games on NFL Network
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to CuseBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I posted something last Saturday and still don't get how Cleveland is local for Spectrum or NFL Network. The replays have not been accurate either. I'd like to see the first half. I have the network on my I pad and that somehow decided I wasn't local so I did see the last quarter live on Saturday. -
I recorded the game today and got Washington and Cincinatti game which wasn't even live. What gives with NFL Network?

I watched the Bills Seahawks game on NFL network last night as I hadn't seen it before. I was amazed how many passes Hollister caught in that game to keep the Seahawks in the game. Didn't know much about him before we signed him, but I can see why the Bills were impressed. Anxious to see how he does for us.

That was a terrific video to watch. It's amazing how much emotion was tied into this. I'm also a Pirates fan who endured more than 20 years of losing seasons so when they finally broke through in 2015 and made the playoffs as well was a similar emotion. Can't wait for Sabres to do the same however unlikely it seems right now.

This goes back a ways, but in the 60s the Browns were the NFL team in the area. My son in law is a big Browns fan and now that I live in the area I am starting to enjoy watching them come out of the lousy years. A few years back I went to a Browns Bills game and tailgated. Fans saw my Bills gear and said we don't mind you guys, we hate the Steelers. My son and grandson are Dolphins fans and my brother is a Bucs fan. If they aren't playing us I root for them.

Single season records.
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to TBBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure what the strategy would be. I suppose if you have already clinch you could rest your best players in week 17 and treat it like an exhibition game. If you need that win or your opponent is also vying for position, could be an interesting dilemma for the coaches. December could be an interesting month. Another reason for signing Trubisky. -
Who’s going to the draft?
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cleveland area vaccination are going real well. Indians allow 30% capacity and they are really excited for Browns around here. I'll bet plenty of people are here for festivities after long cold winter. -
I say we go 3-1 with a loss to either Seattle or Arizona. I think our offense gets back on track the next two weeks and momentum should keep us competitive in the other two games. I gotta believe Frazier and McD will get the defense on track or it could be painful slide through this stretch with Pittsburgh and San Francisco coming up shortly.

How About Some Love for Knox
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to BisonMan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought it was about Chuck Knox who resurrected the Bills in the late 70s and traded OJ for a bunch of picks. -
There was a movie called "Draft Day". I thought Costner did a great job of showing the differences between mediocre and great GM drafting and how owners can often muddy the waters. It was entertaining and also informative of what goes on behind the scenes even if a bit hyperbolic. Russ probably showed his true colors in the movie in terms of draft ineptitude.

Centenial Hall of Famers
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to davefan66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Karras was a favorite of mine when he played for Detroit, but he got in trouble for gambling and was suspended in 1963. That's probably why it took so long for him to get in. -
I've been wondering about that too. I watched Notre Dame every week and he always seems to make the tough catches over people. I'd love to see him on the Bills.

I was at the game in Cleveland when the Bills won in 2012 when my daughter's boyfriend and family invited me to join them for tailgating. I remember hundreds of Bills fans in town for that game. I remember Cleveland fans were quite nice to me and most said they only cared about beating the Steelers. Fitzpatrick was the QB and Tashard Choice was the leading rusher in that game. Most Cleveland fans left early because it was cold and rainy.

Roland Hooks and Super Joe!
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to Rocket94's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was at the game as well and we left because it started snowing and game seemed out of reach. We heard the crowd roar and tried to turn around as we were walking to our car outside Rich, but too late. It would have been my first live look at a "Hail Mary" Fergy rightfully deserves praise for his abilities and that was a great demonstration of what he could do. I think some of his heroics are overshadowed by blunders at critical times. Not sure how I would rank him as Bills QB but probably 3rd after Kelly and Lamonica. -

Happy belated birthday Thurman. You gave us some great memories,? -
“Still Miles Away” -Colin Cowherd
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd rather think about blow out losses with Josh at QB. Don't remember offhand, but most of his losses last year were close games. I like under the radar Bills. Hopefully we can get a good start to the season and roll on. It isn't impossible to win the division if we play like we did in 2017 and catch a few breaks. -
Remembering Jack Kemp
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to The Senator's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember Jack from his playing days and Washington, DC. I never had the chance to meet him, but always admired his compassion for working people. A true class act that Washington needs these days. This may be nostalgic thinking, but things used to be better in those days. -
How did you become a Bills fan?
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to JPL7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was actually an NFL fan in the 60s watching a lot of Browns games on local TV. My older brother was a Bills fan, but I really didn't become a big fan until I moved to Buffalo in 1977. I went to several games in those years as ticket prices were cheap and the stadium was a lot of fun. When they started winning in 1980, I was hooked. I also became a Sabres fan around the same time. I moved away from Buffalo in 1983 and never lost my love for the Bills and Sabres. I love following my team on this site although I don't post much. -
Greg Landry's FA Dos and Don'ts
Dave in Avon Lake now replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Greg Landry used to be the Lions QB. Not sure if it is the same guy -
I lived in Miami when Marino was king. My son adopted them, but I hated them. I lived in DC when Redskins won two of their three superbowls. I rooted for them the first time when they beat Denver, then we lost to them and I hated all the obnoxious skins fans. I lived in Chicago when the Bulls were great and the Bears were not, so didn't really root one way or the other. Moved to New England in early 2001 just in time for Superbowl run. I was OK when they won the first time, but really hated them after that. Now I'm in SC where the local teams are all several hours away. Its been tough being a Bills fan, but I usually meet fans who moved here and are still fiercely loyal.
