I will be in the 300's Sunday for my first game since 2000. First game ever for my sons. Avoided the 100's due to concerns raised on this site about fans standing in the lower sections.
BTW, I have no issue with fans standing all game...if it happens up n the 300's and my kids can't see, probably means we're taming those Broncos! All good.

Can we all agree that if you have 3 points with under a minute that you simply don't deserve to win a football game?
This pass/catch wasn't the reason we lost.
That's one take and while I agree whole-heartedly that one play rarely makes/breaks a game, another take might be "Can we all agree that if you only gave up 9 points on the road with under a minute that you should expect (not going with deserve) to win a game?
So no, I don't agree with your premise that the number of points you've scored with a minute left in the game determines whether you "deserve" to win the game.

It was the most intentional tank job I've ever seen in sports history. Put #SuckForLuck to shame. The team was so bad, it was beautiful.
Who do you credit the Eichel tank job to? The owners? Those they hired?
I'd have a problem with it if it was the owners.
-
It's ownership's job to put the people in place to scout Eichel or the QB.
Agree 100%. Can't speak to Eichel, did he fall into the Sabres laps or was that a genius pick?
As to the Bills and your comment, it's an interesting dichotomy...I want an ownership with the football savvy to build a winner, but the ability/humility to put people place to do so and watch it happen.
-
Theres clearly a learning curve when owning a pro sports franchise let alone owning two. Its not just about spending gobs of money. After a few misteps I think both franchises may finally have the right GM and coach in place. The Sabres are a little ahead of the Bills imo because of Eichel. Gotta get a quarterback if you want to win a Superbowl or have a ridiculously dominant defense but both teams are on the right track.
I'm not disagreeing with anything you've said.
But do you put it on (or credit) the ownership to find Eichel or the QB? I don't.
-
No vote on the Sabres.
A+ on the Bills so far.
They were willing to spend big money on Rex and then willing to cut their losses when it was an obvious mistake.
As fas as I can tell they are not meddling on personnel issues.
Not sure what's not to like a few years in.

Guy walks into his house and says "honey pack your bags, I just hit the lottery". She says "where are we going? what should I pack?" ... He says "I dont care, just get the hell out."
Love this joke, told it many times, but I heard/told it from the perspective of the guy coming home from work and wife won the lottery. Either way, great one.

A woman brings her Great Dane, Gugny, to the vet. After waiting for a bit in the lobby they get called into the examination room. When the vet came in and asked about the woman's concerns for her dog, she explained "I was wearing only my bathrobe yesterday as I was outside watering my plants, and when I bent over to water my Tulips, Duke jumped on my back and had sex with me."
The vet paused for a moment, and replied "I am so sorry about this. You must have been horrified. So, I'm guessing you're here to have Gugny neutered."
The lady responded "No, I am here to have his nails trimmed."
Heyyyyooooo!
You had me at Gugny.

Commanding officer arrives at his new outpost in the middle of the desert and asks a private to show him around the grounds.
Private walks him around, "On the left is the enlisted barracks, officer quarters straight ahead. To your right is the mess hall and just past that are the latrines".
"PRIVATE!", says the CO, "What's that tent behind the latrines?"
"Um, well, er, I wasn't going to say anything, but that's where we keep the camel. These men are out here in the middle of the desert without any women and after awhile they have their urges, so..."
"SAY NO MORE! Perfectly understandable. Show me to my quarters!"
A month goes by and the CO has his own urges. "PRIVATE! I need some time with the camel!.
The CO pays a visit to the camel tent. There's a lot of grunting, groaning and eventually the CO emerges from the tent pulling up his pants with a smug smile on his face.
"PRIVATE! Is that how the enlisted men treat the camel?!?"
"Uh no sir....they usually ride it into town and get a hooker!".

This guy has all the macho bona fides. Does he get a plaque or a ribbon, or something?

Those reviews were outstanding!

Watching the Four Falls of Buffalo.
This.
I'll throw in that I watched it with my two sons who were born a decade later and knew about the four straight but had no real context until they saw Four Falls.

I bought this extension for a garden hose to clean my gutters. Saw it on one of those cheesy TV commercials. After a few weeks it didn't arrive in the mail so I called up and they said they'd send me another.
It ended up being a flimsy aluminum extension and when I turned on the water it was flailing around completely out of control spraying water everywhere but the gutters and soaking me in the process. I felt like a putz.
A few days later the replacement came in the mail and I laughed again at my stupidity.

Read the thread tile, nothing else, easy answer:

That is what I thought too, I would not give up if there was 30 seconds left if it was the Kelly days. They were so obnoxious and loud during the pre game ceremony
Cool that you saw casual Pats fans in misery, I'd like that too.
But give me the pain of the hard core fan, as Bills fans we deserve that.
I have a college friend from the Boston area who is a hard core Pats fan. I give him credit for two things: he was on Brady's greatness early and he has fueled my hatred (jealousy?) of Brady/Pats ever since.
I remember calling/torturing him from a vacation in Steamboat Springs after the first SB loss to Eli. I was brutal to him, it was enjoyable.
In fairness he has not been a d*ck to me about the Bills because all he cares about is Brady/Pats.
So maybe I'm the d*ck here. Oh well.
Go Bills!
-
Not what I'd expect from that fan base. Down 8 with 10 minutes left and they gave up on the almighty Brady and Belichick?
Can't believe that's representative of the core fan base who I'd expect to be just the opposite with a sense of "winning" entitlement and expectation.
Either way, eff em, lets start the season with a win in Sunday!
Go Bills!

Well in McBeanes defense, the best proven way to build a team is through the draft. Purging many of the team's recent picks is somewhat contradictory to this plan. The answer to your question is simple. if the new FO doesn't draft extremely well in the next couple of years, they will be fired and fans will get to enjoy " the process" all over again.
I don't think it's contradictory if you think the previous regime did a poor job drafting.
Like it or not, we are hitched to McBeane until they prove or disprove themselves...and yes we're back on the next 3 year plan if they fail. What's the alternative to hiring guys and giving them a chance to succeed?
-
It was a doubleheader. I got free tickets for the second game, but didn't even watch the first game because I had some stuff to do. Had no idea who was pitching, or how bad it was going. My brother is a Mets fan, so I texted him to tell him I was going to the game. Went something like this.
"Hey, you're still a Mets fan, right?"
"I don't want to talk about Harvey."
"Try living in Houston. Every time I turn on the TV, or radio, or login to the internet. All anybody here talks about is the hurricane."
"Um, not talking about the hurricane."
That's priceless!
-
If,
after what Beane has done this offseason (which I love, by the way),they don't draft well ... this team is screwed for a long, long time.I think this sums up where we've been and hopefully where we aren't going.

Big Yankee fan here, I always considered attempting to stealing signs in baseball as strategy....that said.....F the Sawx!!!!!
Big Yankee hater here
But I agree, it's strategy. And if you think the guy on second (or the guy with the Apple watch) is stealing signs, show him the curve sign and bring it high and tight to the batter. Problem solved.

Sounds like a great day, enjoy!

Just read about this minutes ago. Awesome.

Or ... you could think about it more realistically and realize that most teams that win football games score more than 9 points.
