Stroke 17

As the day goes on I am getting amped up. Just got invited to a watch party with fans of all different teams. Sorry can't do that, only my Bills homies allowed with me during Bills games. Don't need the negativity from the likes of other fans. Really starting to suffer some serious withdrawal not being able to go to the Stadium. Next Monday vs Chiefs will send me over the edge. It was bad enough missing a home opener for the 1st time in 43 years but seeing how this team is coming together and looking like the real deal I need to be part of it.

I tried to make this point last week. My attempt was about deferring to getting the ball to start the 2nd half and basically laying an egg over the last few years. You have made my point better than I did. Thanks for the fact check. I salute you.

With this Defense I agree that winning the toss and deferring is the right call. I may be wrong on this but without doing a lot of research it seems to me that the Bills did this a lot last year. That being said it also seems to me that the Bills have squandered the first possession of the 2nd half more times than not. When the 2nd half started yesterday I thought to myself that the Bills would do what I remembered from last year with the 2nd half kick, nothing. Playing the less than stellar Jets this did not matter yesterday but in closer games against better opponents this possession is critical to the success of this team. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Being able to score at the end of the 1st half or holding a lead going in to half and then scoring with the 1st possession of the 2nd half can be a back breaker for an opponent or a boost to them if getting a 3 and out. Not trying to nit pick a win here but with last years playoff loss still stings. The Bills need to" kick em when they're down." no matter the score or the circumstances.

First time in 43 years not at home opener .Seeing my empty seat in Capaccio picture has me suffering serious withdrawal symptoms right now. Should be OK once they kick it off. GO BILLS!

Now that would be funny!

Was there was cold, was prepared but I was not prepared for Sat in what was then Sec H. Row 2, Aisle 2 Seats 1,2,3,4. Went for beer just before the game started, put it on the ground by my seat, went for a drink, a layer of ice had formed on the top of the drink, chipped it off and it happened again. annoying, but OK. What happened next was the worst, when I went back to get another all the beer dispensers had froze and there was no more beer to be drunk, I did have a flask to keep a little warm and my wife wanted to mix with a little soda, Soda machines also froze. (Note, this was before the plastic bottles and cans we get now,) It was cold and now it was colder. Bills won, nothing warms a body like a Bills win or another warm body.

With all the heartbreaking Super Bowl losses and the playoff losses since i find it hard to feel bad for any other fan base' coach or any other single person trying to get a sports win. Marv Levy Jim Kelly and all of us Bills fans'' nobody ever felt sorry for us, we were and still are the butt of loser jokes. Sorry Andy Reid' can't feel for you or your fan base. .

What am I missing, That was the exact same block as fords

When is JJ Watt coming to rescue the Texans....and where is his little brother in the booth texting watching the playoffs.

Just as depressed today as I was Saturday and Sunday. 45 years season ticket hol;der and 55 year fan and am tired of waiting until next year. Seems no matter the coaches, no matter the players and no matter the game its just never good enough. I am just dead inside today. So many plays that could have, should have been made and wern't. Damn I'm pi$$*d. No guarantees we will be back next year. Schedule, injuries, bad bounces and more bad football. Sorry for all the negativity but its going to take some time to shake this one.

there is a reason that the kick off team runs all the way to the end zone on a kick off. The reason is not for the exercise' it is in case the returner does something wrong like the Texans returner did. There is a reason finishing a play is coached' there is a reason you play to the whistle' the reason is because players make mistakes. The official in the end zone did not blow a whistle' did not wave the play off ' he got out of the way of the ball because he knew the returner did not do what the rule required. I guarantee belichik would have argued that he coaches his team to finish because some dont know the rules. He would have got his way and he would have been right. Sadly we are the Bills and Bills fans and once again waiting until next year.

15 - My Win - I'm going to be very selfish here and talk about what made me smile as much as the win. We had a few obnoxious fans around us in the upper deck. Granted, an 8pm game gives people more time to pre-game and some special kind of people hang out in the decks and endzone, Bills games included. Sadly, there was one Bills fan a few rows ahead of us that was taunting a Steelers fan, and when they responded in kind, she tried to threaten him. She was obnoxious and I was sad to be associated with her as a fan. However, the real show was the row in front and back of me. One row up, four seats to my right was your typical mid-20's frat guy double fisting beers all game. When the Steelers scored their FG, he was giving everyone the middle finger yelling F- You Buffalo (another reason I will not bring my daughter to a regular season game until she's at least a teenager). He was like this on every good Steeler play. When Allen found Kroft in the endzone, he quitely put his head down and headed for the exit. Yes, he left that early and cowardly. The girl almost directly behind me was the real star of the show. She was everything I can't stand in a fair weather fan. She knew nothing about football, but talked like she did. Just wouldn't shut up the entire game, talking about the 1pm games and how the Rams could have possible lost, how every Steeler drive "They have to score here", and then after it was 10-7, she really found her groove. She kept talking about how dumb Bills fans were for thinking they could take over their stadium and the Steelers have the best traveling fan base in the NFL. She joined in the F-You Buffalo chant with my other friend in front of me. At one point, she even leaned forward to scream in my ear after a first down. Granted, the Bills fans cheered, sang the Shout Song, and did our Heeyyyy chant, but were never disrespectful as a group. I never turned to the girl or incited her throughout the entire game. When Hodges threw his 3rd interception, even with over 2 minutes to play and timeouts remaining, the stadium almost completely cleared out. The Bills fans around me any myself couldn't believe it. We knew we were just going to run the ball and probably punt it back, but the Steelers fans either can't do math or just gave up, because they left. It was insane. And in that moment, I turned around and sure enough, she was leaving. I locked dead on her eyes and couldn't help myself. "Hey, where you going? Is this the Steelers traveling well?" She looked right back at me and started crying. I couldn't help but laugh. Maybe I'm a bad fan, but it was 3 hours of her in my ear being obnoxious and no regard to anyone else. Watching her, and all the other Steelers fans do their walk of shame as we clinched our playoff birth felt amazing to me. It reminded me of why we have the best fans in the NFL and how far we've come. those obnoxious Steelers fans is everything I hate about the whole frigging organization. As they were leaving and I was soaking it all in my daughter said to me " Dad are you crying. " My reply was , maybe a little. Then i told her to look around at all the Bills fans and soak in this moment because this is what it b felt like in 1989 before we were thr real deal... Still smiling today..... GO BILLS!

See you all there. Go Bills!

Anybody that does now or has ever worn a steelers uniform and that includes anyone that wears their team colors.

Im 63, 45 year season ticket holder from northwest PA and like you hate the steelers and all their fans more than any other organization in the universe. like you I cursed the NFL rule of local broadcasts for years while I traveled 50 miles every Sunday when the Bills were on the road to watch my team. Like you i hate their obnoxious bandwagon jumping fans. No matter the conversation with a steeler fan it always ends with the mention of " yeah we got six". I get it they got 4 in the 70's when there was no free agency, the league was a littler weaker with the merger. That being said they have won 2 Super Bowls in 40 freakin years but the fans and the media act like they win one every other year. Sorry, I want/need the Bills to win this game on Sunday and help get them out of the playoff picture, i am just so anxious over this game. 63 freakin years old and still worrying about a football game'i am one sick guy.. Seriously, i wouldn't root for the steelers if they were playing Iraq.........................GO BILLS

Second, everything felt odd about the experience. I was watching the Bills sitting at home instead of in a sports bar, where I usually have to go for road games. Why? Because this game was televised nationally, at least figuratively if not technically in prime time. I’m completely accustomed to watching the Bills on some regional broadcast with no-name announcers and with more or less no one around the country watching. So what where those lovely blue and white uniforms doing on TV on Thanksgiving afternoon? Ah Shaw,as a PA Bills fan I feel your pain. Sundays at the Stadium are great but the watching of the away games with On Direct TV for $300 more is something only Bills fans can appreciate. I watch alone, nobody to cheer with, nobody to complain with, nobody to discuss the game with after its over. Nobody sees the game or the Bills but us. I bowl on Mondays and its all Steelers talk all the time, until yesterdays game it has just been the about Bills and their easy schedule and whatever the national media says. (mostly Bulls##t) GO BILLS!

THE Bills are still the bills. When a winnable must win game is staring them in the face it still goes bad at every turn. When the touchdown by Hughes was called a pass was there any doubt that the end result,as normal, would be a drive to put me and the Bills out of our misery. Did you really think the clock management by the Bills would be good enough to tie or win the game. Did anybody really think that somebody on the team would step up and make a play or a kick to win or tie. Not me, i have sen it too many times. I am just sick and tired today and so worried about the rest of this year that had so much promise.

The coaches really like this guy

Leave it to the Bills to screw up the entry to the stadium. The long lines and confusion by those at the gates is a mess. It never changes, especially early in the season when the gate keepers are new and overly cautious. there is no reason for getting to the gate at 12;15 and missing the flyover, i have been to at least 10 other stadiums and none of them have the wait times the Bills do.

During his career and the Bills not being very good I often focused on Kyle. Many times I just thought that if everybody on the team played with his passion and grit the team would be a lot better. The dude played his heart out for this franchise and more importantly for the fans like me who love the sport, appreciate what it takes to compete at such a high level, and lifts those around him. Thanks for the memories! Go Bills!

No report on Pinto Rons' food. Best of the bunch. You want ketchup with that?

In a nutshell. The Bills do what the Bills do. Get up on a team and never put their foot on the Neck. So many things to talk about in this one but why waste my time. Put teams away when you have the chance.
