  1. Not to mention fact that their 1st meeting with Cincy was the game after Burrows went down,
  2. My absolute HATE for the steelers and their fans has me hating the Ravens even more for pretending that they care at all. I was hoping to be able to sleep tonight without having to worry about the Bills winning, Probably a long night into tomorrow night. Go BILLS
  3. Starting this year,2024, Stop breaking my heart. I'm getting older and my heart is getting weaker. Pace maker alert.
  4. PLEASE, just stop this. It is the worst play in the arsenal.
  5. Like many of you I am over this guy, all talk no action. After injury, I'll be back for the playoffs", NO Off season," I'll be back for training camp" NO "I'll be back for the season opener" NO I'll be ready when I get my brace off" NO "I feel great and I am getting better and stronger every day " NO I did not hit that woman and I have not hit any other football player in over a year. Believe me and pay me!
  6. i HAVE NEVER HATED A TEAM AND THEIR FANS LIKE i HATE THE STEELERS BUT i GUESS I CAN ROOT AGAINST THE BENGALS AND NOT FEEL SO GUILTY AND DIRTY. GO BILLS!
  7. Other than the Bills nobody breaks my will like the Vikings, Both teams, so much in common.
  8. " I have a Parking Pass for Lot 6. I plan on an arrival of 11AM. I am aware that Abbott will close at 11:25 and Hammer's opens at 10:15. I'll be sitting in one of the corners on Row 7" Be advised that the stadium lots don't open until 12:25
  9. Walking into the Tampa Bay game on Thursday night my wife asked me stop and look around. She said too many times lately we would just walk through the lots and not enjoy the whole experience. She was on to something,I had to remind myself that for the last 48 years we had been coming to the games and really enjoying all of it but it was starting to wear on us. The winning, the losing, the coaching, the weather, the 12 hour round trips, the changes of the NFL in general (refs), the fans, the cell phones, waiting to park, to get out of lot waiting to get in the game, the prices. All things that has an impact on Bills football but it was getting to us. We stopped, looked around and reminded each other of how lucky we are to be able to be where we were. We love Bills football, we love being around the fans,we loved the whole atmosphere. I reminded her that there are only 32 place in the entire world that have a NFL football team and we are in one of them. It was also worthy to note that on that Thursday night we, the fans and our team, the Bills were the only game in the NFL world. So yeah, like you I get a little burned out, disgusted and just plain pi**ed off but I wouldn't change it for anything. THEY'RE KILLIN ME WHITEY, THEY'RE KILLIN ME. GO BILLS!
  10. With all the bad ju ju happening to this team this so far this year, "Coaching, bad calls, injuries, stupid penalties, etc.) I have no expectations of the Bills making it into the playoffs. Losing to the Jets, Pats, Cincy and Broncos in the sloppiest of ways has me facing the reality that the Bills have sealed their destiny. I see a glimmer of hope as we go forward. Then I see a Monday where we all come here again to ask each other, What the he** happened. Why did he make that call, Why did he call that timeout, WHY, play a soft defense, IF he catches that pass, IF not for the pick, the dropped interception, that missed kick, that miracle catch in the end zone, and those freakin refs. Over the years it has been the last game of the season that has sent us to the edge, this year it is every game that puts on the cliff. All that and I am left with, why not us, why can't we be that underdog that finally overcomes all of the adversity, why can't we be the team that makes that stop, gets that touchdown, the kick from 47 that hooks in instead of out, that pick/fumble that seals the win. Sorry I fell asleep and was typing as I slept. They're killin me Whitey, They're killin me! GO BILLS!
  11. called my rep couple of times to try and get an idea of the price of PSL. She said she didn't know and they have not told her. Seriously, a stadium that is under construction and they have no idea what the cost is going to be, or at least a ball park figure. (see what I did there) You would think they would have this info so that are thinking about buying can plan their finances or see that they are priced out. Why does it surprise me that they are not sure as they are not even sure why the offense sucks!
  12. I can agree with so much of this but it doesn't make me feel any better. Since wide right ,Hail Mary throw forward, loss to 2nd string Steelers for playoff spot, 13 seconds, Minnesota upchuck last year, Cinci at home in last yr playoff stomping, Jets, Jags, Pats this year it just never seems to change no matter the owner, the coaches or the players waiting and hoping for the best seems to turn out the worst. In games just this year was there ever any doubt that what could go wrong would go wrong. Aaron Rodgers out on 4th play Zach Wilsons a game, Get back in game against Jags to watch it slip away, Worked hard to keep Giants in the game, freakin 3 times benched Mac Jones goes 75 yards in under 2 minutes to beat us, McD's game management (with a little help from refs) to help us lose to Bengals this year. Failin to put the Buccaneers away when we had them beat almost cost the Bills that game. Confidence going forward? Convince me. We are what our record says we are ......or dare I say a little worse.
  13. Being a 50 year season ticket holder I have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, the very good and the very bad. In the years after the Super Bowls and the team was mediocre, at best, I attended and watched the games with the high hopes of the Bills upsetting a good team or winning against other average teams. I always thought "on any given Sunday" the Bills would pull off the upset. Now that we are (supposedly ) one of the better teams each week has me thinking that the other team thinks like I used to think, unfortunately this year it is coming true for them too often, I am just so frustrated with the game day coaching, the poor play and the excuses. I realize our defense is decimated but they are doing a fairly good job but our so called high flying offense from past years is crazy bad, bar a few drives a GAME. Watching games today and seeing teams like the Pats, Jags ,Bengals and the Giants I can't help but wonder how the hello they got beat or almost beat by those teams. Dare I say it can only be coaching. That gives me little hope going forward. However, being the eternal optimist I have changed my expectations from expecting a win against inferior teams to, maybe the Bills can pull off a few upsets against good teams and play the bad or average teams close in spite of the coaching. GO BILLS THEY'RE KILLIN ME WHITEY, THEY'RE KILLIN ME
  14. Section 135, 35 rows back and our group holds up our end of the deal, LOUD AND PROUD. Unfortunately when somebody sells, the selfies and those that can't hold their beer are sure to head for the bathroom during a play. Some go so often I wonder why they don't just stay in the tunnel and watch on TV. Save us all the trouble of having to move every couple of minutes. Perhaps an adult diaper.
  15. Sitting in Lot 1 today Steve Tasker was with a couple of friends, After his visit he headed towards the Stadium. As he was walking away a young family stopped him and asked him if he would take a picture of them. They had no idea who he was, he took the picture and introduced himself to the young daughter with this classic line. " Hi my name is Steve, whats yours? Nice to meet you, Go Bills! Again I'm pretty sure they still have no idea who they asked to take their picture. Awesome.
  16. Exactly my point. I could care less about famous people at a game,. Its all of us that make the NFL world go around and pay the freight. I know that in the last 44 years I have spent at least $100,000 going to and supporting the Bills, She wouldn't know a first down from from a sack.
  17. Been to and paid for at least 400 Bills games in the last 44 years and I;m pretty sure she never paid for a ticket. God I hate what the NFL is becoming.
  18. Of course after kickoff no one settles in and watches the game anymore either.half the game is spent with people walking back and forth up and down the aisle to go on beer runs, bathroom breaks and such. The in person experience has moved for watching a football game to a party with a game in the background. Make sure to take those selfies too, gotta get the perfect shot for your Facebook. 48 YEARS A SEASON TICKET HOLDER AND IF I EVER GIVE IT UP THIS WOULD BE THE REASON(S). FREAKIN SELFIES, PEE BREAKS DURING PLAYS, CHECKING PHONES FOR FANTASY PLAYERS, GAWKING IN THE AISLE LOOKING FOR YOUR FRIEN OR SEAT THAT ISN'T EVEN IN THE SECTION....... I AM THE OLDER THE GUY WHO JUST WANTS TO WATCH THE GAME, CHEER FOR MY TEAM, DRINK A FEW BEERS, EAT SOME SNACKS AND ENJOY THE GROUP AROUND ME, BUT IT IS GETTING TO BE MORE OF A STATUS THING, YOU KNOW ,TAKE A PIC TO SHOW THE WORLD WHERE YOU AND YOUR DRUNK FRIENDS ARE PARTYING TODAY. STAND IN THE AISLE DURING A PLAY, FORGET WHERE YOUR SEATS ARE AND STAND AROUND IN THE AISLE INSISTING THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE WRONG SEATS. MY NUMBER 1 PET PEEVE IS THOSE THAT CAN'T HOLD THEIR BEER LONGER THN5 MINUTES, INSTEAD OF COMING BACK TO YOUR MIDDLE OF THE ROW SEAT JUST WATCH THE GAME IN THE TUNNEL ON THE TV AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT AT LEAST GO PISS DURING A TV TIMEOUT, THEY EVEN SHOW ON THE SCOREBOARD HOW LONG THE TIMEOUT WILL LAST. JUST HAVE A LITTLE RESPECT FOR US. BY THE WAY, SORRY FOR THE CAPS AND THE BOLD. TOO OLD AND DUMB TOFIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF. GO BILLS
  19. I think Josh will improve, by that I mean he will be better but he will still do some crazy stuff but will not be Monday Night bad. This weeks national press coverage has knocked him down a bit. Nobody blowing smoke up his butt this week, telling him how great he is, nobody comparing him to Mahomes or any other top tier QB. The competitive juices in him will/should make him better. I think his focus will improve especially because he realizes he cost his team the game. I think things will get better but that schedule is brutal, he, the team and the coaches better figure it out. They're killen me Whitey, they're killin me. We can get it done, we can get it done what' more we gotta get it done!
  20. First let me say I LOVE FOOTBALL! ,Specifically BILLS FOOTBALL but I am right there with you. They are losing my enthusiasm one brick at a time. I consider myself an old schooler( I guess I am 66) been season ticket holder since 1979 and have seen many changes and not all for the good. I go for the football, don't care about taking a selfie, don't care about the score board in the stadium dedicated to fantasy stats, did not get mad when they got rid of the cheerleaders. Just BILLS FOOTBALL for me. The call last night infuriated me because I had commented how the officials were letting them play, no ticky tack holding calls, no crappy pass interferences just the obvious off sides, delay of game and then at the most crucial time that call and I was done with it .....again. What is holding, what is PI, can I cheer or do I need to look for a flag, don't touch this QB ok to touch that one. Now that that is out of the way a few more reasons for my waning fandom. I am getting to old to try to figure out how I am going to watch a Bills game on a TV, or a computer or a phone or a DEVICE. I know the NFL needs to reach a younger fan base to grow the sport but damn man I been there forever and they could care less, seems like we older people are old news. One service for Thursdays, another for the Sunday Ticket, over the air broadcasts for others, all at extra charges. And finally my biggest peeve going back to the 4 Bills Super Bowls, The NFL boasts about season ticket holders being the backbone of their franchises, real fans paying with their real money for real seats in all kinds of weather and on top of that now a personal seas license. I can live with all of that but WHY then does the NFL crap on those same fans when it comes to the Super Bowl. Over inflated prices that the average fan can't afford, they seem to be able to get these tickets into the hands of ticket agents to really rip you off if you want to go but as we saw last night, so called "celebrities" had seats. I'm sure most of them didn't care who won or lost it was all about a selfie and being seen. I was at the Bills - Washington Super Bowl in Minnesota, decent seats but right there on the 50 yard line sat many so called celebrities and one of the was Stevie Wonder, I guess his view was better than mine, oh wait, never mind. Ok, I'm good, waiting for my 2023 invoice and my shot at my PSL's for the new stadium. You see, I am the reason the NFL treats us this way, because I am like a drug addict, I want to stop but when the pressure is on to renew I turn to my wife, make a snorting motion and say, "one more time" GO BILLLS!

  21. " The real fans know the regular season doesn’t matter as much any more. It’s all about what you do in the playoffs and McDermott is great at collapsing under pressure in every single one of his losses." It pains me to say this but I am starting to think of McDermott as the new Marty Chokenheimer. Back in the 90's I was sure that whatever team ole Marty was coaching they were doomed, say it aint so,Coach.
  22. Had it all set, married on an away game, Next week fly into Toronto in the morning, hit the game on my way back to PA. Flight delayed, and caught in after game traffin on the 219 anyways.
