  1. I've been to two Super Bowls. XXVIII in Atlanta (Bills vs Cowboys), and XXXVII in San Diego (Raiders vs Bucs) My tix for SB 28 came from then Bills Offensive Coordinator Tom Bresnahan, via a doctor I worked with at the time who rented a house to him. Paid face value, which was $175 with the promise that they would not be re-sold (was offered $2k a ticket before thegame but kept my promise not to resell). They were great seats on the Bills sideline 14 rows up at about the 20-25 yardline. The seats were great, but it was a really stange ambiance around us. Most of the seats around us should have been from the Bills organization, however, it was mostly corporate nobodies who couldn't care less about who won, and rooted obnoxiously for whichever team held the lead. One story from that game that I'll never forget is my experiences at halftime and the start of the 3rd quarter. At halftime at least 20-30 Cowboy fans came up to me in my Thurman jersey conceding that this was the Bills year and that they Cowboys were toast. As a Bills fan, I was hesitent to agree as I had learned to never count a win until the final second clicks off the clock (how that continues to be with this organization). Unfortunately that hesitancy was spot on, as Thurman fumbled at the beginning of the 3rd, and then sat on the bench directly in front of us, moping with his head down in his hands for the rest of the quarter. I was screaming at the coaches and players to get him back in the game, and to not let him mope, however, I don't recall a single player or coach coming up to him for almost the entire quarter. I was so pissed as the team fell apart from that point forward, instead of fighting off the bad juju and getting him back in the game. Of course exiting the Georgia Dome with the ridiculous gloating of the Cowboy fans, many of them the same ones who had essentially given up at halftime, just sucked! For SB 37, I attended rooting for the Bucs as they have been my NFC team out of pity for that franchise since way back in the original creamsicle jersey days. I got those tix gratis from a business contact and we had geat 50 yard line seats on the Bucs sideline (albeit high up in the upper deck). The SB at Qualcomm was a phenomenal experience, both with the Bucs fans around us, and so many we met from Raider Nation. That game felt more like a college experience as for the most part the Bucs fans were on the Bucs side of the field, and Raider Nation was on the Raiders sideline. Curiously we had a random couple that were Raider fans sitting next to us who ended up being a lot of fun to party with. At halftime, another couple came up to our seats offering the Raider fans next to us to swap with their near identical seats on the Raiders side of the stadium. They declined as they preferred hanging out with us and the rest of the Bucs fans, over the ***** show they anticipated it would be on the Raiders sideline! All that said, I wouldn't pay for tickets for a future Super Bowl, especially at the ridiculous prices, though I might consider traelling to the city to enjoy the ambiance to enjoy the Super Bowl hype and activites, then watch the actual game at a good bar. Attending the game itself is just not rempotely worth the cost IMO, especially at the prices they're running for these days.
  2. Any Super Bowl with the Chiefs, Patriots or Eagles in it, is a Super Bowl I refuse to watch, and havent watched in previous years.
  3. Frankly, Mc D should have been fired after 13 seconds which was unforgivable IMO. We've just been spinning wheels and repeating the same failures since.
  4. Nothing is going to change with McD leading this team. The big playoff losses are the expectation at this point, a win last night would have been a surprise to be honest. The Bills are handicapped with a coach who is just not good enough and is out coached time after time after time. He doesn’t have any answers. He doesn’t change. Wash, rinse, cycle repeat. This is who they are under McD. Josh deserves better. Fans deserve better. This city deserves better. The only way anything changes is with a change in the leadership. Till then, expect disappointment and hope for a miracle season where Josh puts the entire city on his back, tells McD to take a seat, and wins despite the ***** coaching and organizational build of the team around him.
  5. Sadly I don’t see Josh ever hoisting the Lombardi as a Buffalo Bill (maybe later in his career after he moves on to a true championship caliber team to chase a championship like Peytonwas able to). I unfortunately have zero faith that we’ll ever see Allen winning or even making it to the Super Bowl under this coaching staff. wish we had a regime that provide him a quality OFFENSIVE minded Head Coach and a GM who would stop wasting draft picks and cap space on on the ***** defensive players the failed defensive HC demands, instead of providing Allen with elite WR’s to throw to. The Bills need to draft multiple WR’s for Allen early and often this year. The scrap heap he’s been given the past few years is just embarrassing. Diggs is either hurt or hit the walll. At this point he is barely in the conversation as a WR2. It’s difficult to continue witnessing the futility of this staff and the repetitive beat down of Allen each season as the team around him lets him down season after season after season due to poor coaching and roster construction. We are sadly watching a generational talent’s career waste away. He deserves an opportunity to play for a Super Bowl, something highly unlikely to happen with McD leading the organization. It’s so frustrating.
  6. Anyone else notice Jerome Baker inflating his career wins against the Bills as only beating the Bills "two times" yet it's actually only once in the past 12 games (6 seasons), and that was the heat-index game with the ridiculous stadium advantage of shade vs no-shade in 100 degree temps.
  7. WhyTF is Murray out their on 3rd and 17 on a pass route. Unbelievable poor personnel management,
  8. They aren't losing because of the refs. They losing because they are extremely poorly coached.
  9. ZERO faith in the leadership. Simple as that. Open your eyes. The problems start and end with McDummy.
  10. Complimentary Football. So glad we have such great ST. And to think... many on here thought this team, led by a terrible HC could run the table. That's just not going to happen.
  11. I have complete faith in our "defense"... giving up another 7 this drive.
  12. There were5 ticks left on the clock, a 62 yard kick is going to burn all 5 seconds.
  13. You let Bass take a shot there. Period. Another classic example of ***** coaching by McDummy. His game management skills are among the worst in the league. So nice to have a coach who buries key skill players in his dog house and tearing them down mentally, instead of working to restore their confidence.
