  1. It's only worthy of an honorable mention but the 2016 home opener is noteworthy:

     

    Pros - 

    • Thursday night game
    • Bruce gets his number retired
    • Bills scored 31 including a nice bombs to Goodwin (84 yards) and Salas (71 yards) 

    Cons -

    • Red pajama uniforms
    • Tyrod was our QB
    • Rex was our coach
    • Fitzmagic was playing for the wrong team and looked like a Hall of Famer (374 passing yards)

    The next day, after scoring 31, Rex decided to "fix" the problem by firing the OC.  That's when I knew for sure it was a poop-show.  He really did fix the problem by quitting before week 17.

    If you want to stay in OP, and if you like Italian food, then Mangia is the place to go.

    Do people actually stay in Orchard Park?  When I've made the 6,000 mile trek to a Bills game I've stayed downtown but it means getting stuck in the miserable stadium traffic.  Next trip I might consider another alternative if there are good suggestions.

    It was Joe Ferguson, but it's not clear he said that as opposed to the coaching staff thought it. 

    That's correct.  Joe was a little short for a QB (around 6ft) and since every other team in the division had white helmets (Jets, Fish, Pats and Colts) it was felt that it would give him an advantage finding receivers downfield.  Not sure this came from Joe, pretty sure it was the coaches or front office.

  4. I remember a playoff game against the Jets where David Humm took the first snap of the game, because the Bills ran back the opening kickoff for a TD and the first snap was the extra point.

     

    Sad end for Humm by the way, spent 30 years crippled by MS before dying at age 65.
