NI Bills Fan

I joined the queue 20 minutes before 12. Around 230,000 in the queue.

That's a result for me BritBill, I'm a Blackburn Rovers fan, so will try and make that QPR match too. The wife had mentioned possibly doing something 'not sport related' on the Saturday... She may have to do that on her own now!

I got 2 tickets today from a local travel agent (tickets plus hotel). A friend had mentioned he had seen an advert from them yesterday... Gave them a call and they had 2 left, so snapped them up. Delighted. See you there boys and girls!! The hotel looks to be in a good central location too (Russel Square). Go Bills!

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-bills-brandon-beane-spoke-114551549.html Apologies if already posted... Didn't see it in the last couple of pages. Not much more info other than apparently Beane has had direct contact with Hopkins at some point. Not a huge surprise I'm guessing.

The camera adds 10 lbs... And Dion had just eaten 7 of them before practice.

Cheers... Booked a place about 2 or 3 miles from the stadium, the Royal Oak I think... Not 5 star but reasonably priced, was just worried with the leaks around the date that accomodation would be snapped up quickly. My nextdoor neighbour is a Raiders fan, so now he's on board too 😄

We will. I got some accomodation booked last week before the rush. Any idea when tickets will go on sale? Is it typically very soon after the schedule release? I'm seeing some reports of June but thought it would be much sooner.

Raiders on October 8th rumoured... No idea on how reliable the source is. https://twitter.com/tommllr/status/1655921842031304707?t=2tX58oe6Ecn3yMlvIdqeOg&s=19

Much appreciated sir, very kind of you. I'll follow that account and keep up to date. I think if I missed out on tickets I'd head over to London anyway for the weekend just to meet a load of Bills fans and soak up the atmosphere. Then watch the game in a bar somewhere.

Thanks for that. Hopefully see you there! It would be amazing to get tickets but I'm assuming it will be a challenge with so much demand. I have a couple of Packers supporting friends based here in Northern Ireland who were delighted to hear last their that their Packers were playing in London, but they missed out on tickets unfortunately.

Some advice please from those with more experience with the buying of tickets for NFL games... I'm hoping to go to the London game this year, but I'm unsure how long after the schedule release tickets for individual games go on sale. What's the advice with that? I have pre registered for the London game but would like to know when I will need to be glued to the laptop to try and buy. Thanks in advance.

More tweeting from Diggs... Likely nothing in it (or likely non football related)... but this website hasn't let that stand in the way of a story: https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2023/04/02/stefon-diggs-trade-twitter/

You seem confident. Hope you're correct.

I've been trying not to stay realistic and not get too excited with the Hopkins speculation. BUT... Now that Danny and Gabe are saying this is legit I see no reason not to break out the champagne. 😄

Whilst Beane's success in early rounds is certainly up for debate... To give up the chance of drafting another Allen level talent for an extra Spencer Brown or Terrel Bernard is not a sound strategy in my opinion. Also, a suggestion for the site admins... Could we get a 'Hear me Out' thread warning added? 😊

Wendell has been hired by the rams. https://247sports.com/college/fresno-state/Article/Fresno-State-great-Ryan-Wendell-lands-new-NFL-opportunity-Los-Angeles-Rams-O-Line-Coach-reports--204498340/

Need a big game from Tim Settle too. No Jones is a blow for sure. Go Bills. We've got this!

Great news for us UK based fans... Hoping getting tickets will be achievable. I know a Packers fan who tried to make their London game this season and missed out.

Anyone know what Elam's injury was at the end when he was on the ground getting treatment? I had no audio at the time so wasn't sure. Could have been just cramp as he didn't seem to distressed. He played well today. Deserves to start across from White from here on in.

They may well be, according to this anyway... https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/majority_of_us_backing_one_nfl_team_in_postseason/s1_13132_38351171

More great news. Keep it coming. What a fighter. He'll be some inspiration to this team going forward.

Well said. I hope he is appreciated/celebrated appropriately at Sunday's game or a home playoff game. The way this organisation has handled this week, I've no doubt that will indeed happen.

Amazing news, such joy and relief for that young man and all his family. Thank God for those first responders and all the talented and dedicated medical staff that look to have saved this young man's life. Keep fighting Damar, keep fighting. ****In Go Bills! Yessssssss

Prayers up for Damar Hamlin, his family and his extended Bills family. There's no way in hell that team could have coached and played a football game after that and nor should they. Shame on any of those twitter posts that suggest otherwise.

Good win after a shaky start. Very nice smooth running by James Cook, appreciate it may have been against light boxes but lots to be encouraged about with Cook recently I think. Also like the challenge by McD at a fairly key point in the game. I lost audio for a while, what is the injury situation? I saw both Bates and Jordan Phillips sidelined, have they reaggravated their injuries?
