  1. One of the things I remember was back then my family had seasons tickets and we used to park / tailgate in the parking lot of a carpet store within walking distance of the stadium. On that day we were cooking steaks on the grill and would have to keep puting them back on the grill to keep them warm. I also remember making a big batch of chili to share with our fellow tailgaters. Needless to say that was a very popular option for that day.

  2. I remember in the early 1990's being at a Bills - Jets game where the wind chill was -30 the actual temp was around zero. I know I certainly could not do that again. What was amazing is in the packed stadium it did not seem that cold, and no, I don't drink so it could not have been alcohol keeping me warm. Everytime there was a good play everyone was jumping and cheering, probably to keep warm.
  3. I believe the local affiliates can request a change. Looks like the Fresno area change happened Friday. I am sure they figured that being Josh Allen's hometown area this game would generate more viewers than the others.
  4. Word around here is that Greer is on the hot seat. Many of his recent draft pics have not performed to the level that would be expected of them. The Greer / Flores situation reminds me of the Whaley / Ryan era we went through. As a previous poster pointed out, thank God we have a coach and GM on the same page
  5. I remember a time a couple years ago when the Bills were on the other end of a huge point spread. It was when visiting the Vikings. We all, and the Vikings fans know what happened then. Big point spreads like this can be scary.
  6. https://www.stjude.org/donate/legacy.html?frequency_selected=2&legacypid=200226881&memoryFirstName=Ruth&memoryLastName=KIRSTEN. RIP Ruth Kirsten It is time for Bills Mafia to do what it does best and show our love and respect for Brian Daboll and his family
  7. I am going to enjoy this win, especially when I go to work tomorrow here in South Florida. My co workers had it all figured out that the bills would wilt in the heat and humidity, the fins would be 2-0, 2 games up on the Bills and in sole possession of first place in the AFCE. All I am going to say is "For your scenario to have worked wouldn't the Dolphins have to score some points. Actually the Bills looked better conditioned than the Fins
  8. These times where the Buffalo Bills are a team that players actually want to play for vs the team being the minor league for the rest of the NFL is sure a departure from the past. And a damn nice one. Been a long time coming
  9. It is no secret that the Allen's are a very close knit family and are very proud of Josh Hope for a speedy recovery so he can watch his son get Superbowl MVP.
  10. Being in Fort Lauderdale and driving with my Bills license plate frame, Bills flags in the window, Bills face mask hanging from the mirror and wearing the "Might Be Chilly t-shirt the past few weeks I have received nothing but positive comments, waves (all fingers up!) and thumbs up gestures. Last night as I was leaving the local Publix supermarket a guy in a Dolphins shirt motioned me to lower my window. He said "Good luck" I said this was a long time coming and he agreed and said good luck again ans something like go all the way.. I have not had even one negative comment or gesture the past 2 weeks. Lot of Bills Luv down here
  11. Pepsico makes a lot of sense. They have been big on their slogan "Made for football...watching lately. What better place to watch football than Buffalo?
  12. It will probably be the standard Sunday Night Football crew Tirico doing the pre game and halftime shows, but most likely from Buffalo instead of the studio and Michaels doing the play by play with Collingsworth. If it turns out to be Tirico doing the play by play I am fine with that. I have been a fan of his play calling since he started calling Syracuse University games on the radio
  13. Love it! I have to work until 4PM Saturday. Would have been real pissed if it was a 1PM game
  14. Let's hope we can add " The Bills have never won a Superbowl"
  15. Pre Jets cheap shot- Yes post Jets cheap shot - No He was never the same after that. Now we are Kickin Bass
  16. Hypothetically, if everything fell the bills way and KC loses and the Bills keep winning so the AFC Championship game was played in Buffalo. Imagine the bills with a good lead and the new name announced on the scoreboards at the 2 minute warning. Would have to be done with the cooperation of the TV network so it is on live TV. Perhaps the Sponsors would have to buy 30 sec of commercial time. Think that would make an immediate impact?
  17. True. But if I remember correctly the New Era deal would have carried over to a new stadium
  18. Better yet Big And Dynamic Allen Superstar Stadium. BADASS for short The people that buy naming rights have their own jets
  19. In the interview he said he was going to make the Bills look like the smartest people out there Mission accomplished!
  20. Sometime things work out for the best, at least for the Bills, not so much for Jax or Marrone. I kind of hate to see coaches like Marrone and Gase get fired. Other teams having crappy coaches is good for us
  21. The Bills fans are the best charity donors in Cincinnati. Just ask Andy Dalton
  22. The Fins have one of the best defenses in the NFL. All they need is average production from the offense to win games. Sound familiar? Same pattern the Bills used the previous 2 years. It seems that Flores is using the same pattern to build the fins that McDermott and Beane used to build the Bills. Of course they took less time since they had a ton of draft pics and cap money to work with this off season. If we rest any starters we lose a low scoring game. Thinking that Barkley can put 10 points against that defense is absurd unless you mean giving 10 points, 7 from the pick 6 and 3 after another int. This game is not going to be a cake walk even with the starters playing. If we do build up a 3 score lead then by all means put in backups, not only to rest the starters but to give the backups valuable game reps while still securing the #2 seed
  23. Also at a Bills game. I think the Patriots IT dept. is not going to like playing us He probably heard from the NFL about that one because of the multi million contract with Microsoft. BTW, I think the Gofundme to buy them a new phone is awesome, especially since the money will (should) end up going to charity
  24. I think I have watched it 50 times so far. It will be interesting to see if ESPN shows it on their MNF pre game show. They have been hyping the Bills and pretty much ignoring the Pats on their MNF promos. I am sure if Chris Berman has any say it will be on. I hope so. That way people will know what the shirt I ordered means.
  25. A lot of "foreign" vehicles are made here in the U.S. I drive a Honda Passport that was built in Alabama using mostly U.S. content. (I have been working for a Honda dealership for over 15 years) It is a world economy. The days of a truly domestic or foreign vehicle are long gone. Still, we keep on hearing about things like this from the Bills Players and fans and it makes some of the Dolphins fans down here jealous
