Best Place to Watch Bills In NYC
Dan Darragh replied to chaccof's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is correct. I'd be surprised by a big crowd for a late season meaningless game but you never know. Good flat price for unlimited beer and wings. Calico Jack's right next door on 2nd Avenue takes the overflow when McFaddens is overcrowded. -
Gonna do it, flying solo...
Dan Darragh replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Went solo to a Bills vs. Raiders preseason game at Cal stadium back in the early 70s. Solo to a road game! The place was pretty full because everyone came out to see OJ. I discovered that, oddly, that during the plays I have a tendency to lean in the direction that the Bills are heading as if to encourage them. Not so oddly, I guess, because the people around me were all doing it too but they were leaning the Raiders' way which made for some awkward body contact. -
Who recalls this game from Thanksgiving in 1976?

Derek Anderson must have really gotten walloped

THIS IS A CANDIDATE FOR POST OF THE YEAR -
I don't remember a guy going as long in the concussion protocol as Derek Anderson has. It doesn't matter from a football perspective for the Bills but I really feel for the guy. He was happy playing Mr. Mom and came out of retirement for us. Is he another Kevin Kolb? Bills have been under the Cone of Silence on this one as far as I can tell except to say that he's "still in concussion protocol."

Most Famous Bills Fan you ever met
Dan Darragh replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If you think the point of it was how impressed HE was by meeting ME, then I guess you're right. -
Most Famous Bills Fan you ever met
Dan Darragh replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I met Marv Levy on a street in downtown Buffalo the day before the 2016 opener (he was in town for Bruce's number retirement) Got a nice selfie And I actually had the presence of mind to say "there's no place I'd rather be then right here, right now" -
All season long they had given the ball to Roosevelt Leaks in situations like that. He almost never touched the ball except on 3rd and short or 4th and short, and he averaged 3.7 yards per carry. He was money. I never understood why they gave the ball to Cribbs on that play.

That was the toughest Bills loss ever in all my years as a Bills fan, tougher even than wide right. Fergy was a real hero that day and played hurt, really hurt. It was the first good season that the Bills had since 1966 and came after going 0-20 against the Fish during the 1970s, the Bills beat Miami in week 1 and opened the season 5-0. Had all of us thinking that maybe, finally, this was our year. Then a gimpy Ferguson led the Bills to a lead against SD after 3 quarters but it came apart in the 4th. It still hurts. You can watch it here:

Buffalo Bills Babushka Dolls

I'm thankful every day for the reminder that the Bills had Lee Evans before his enshrinement in Canton -
Buffalo Bills Babushka Dolls
Dan Darragh replied to Dan Darragh's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's a HOF set compared to my collection of bums -
A few years ago, my nephew went to Russia. He wanted to bring me a gift so he brought me Buffalo Bills babushka dolls . (Babushka dolls are nesting dolls that are sold in an amazing variety of themes in nearly every souvenir store in Russia). I saw the little ones playing with them the other day and had a good look - and a stroll down memory lane. All of these guys are long-since gone from the Bills and, except for Lynch, long-since out of football. Looking at these, I'm reminded of Seinfeld's comment that we're only cheering for the clothing.

Caption This - It's Offensive!
Dan Darragh replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jones: "What do you want from me, I'm wearing Rob Johnson's number" Benjamin: "You think that's bad? I'm wearing Stevie Johnson's number." Pryor: "Who's this Alex Van Pelt guy they're all talking about?" McCoy: "1 yard per carry. 1 yard per carry." -
and he looked utterly clueless when he intercepted the 2 point try. In a case like that you need to either bat the ball to the ground or catch it and run like hell for the other end zone. Diddling around and ultimately fumbling the ball in the end zone was the worst possible thing to do

Why the Bills changed punters
Dan Darragh replied to Dan Darragh's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No, I'd fake a FG, throw a pass that almost gets picked off and hurt my shoulder. It's the Bills way.
