    Back when I lived in WNY the best beef on weck was at Schwabl's in West Seneca.  Is that still a good place?

    Schwabl's is still there, however, I don't care for them.  I find their beef to be both too thick and too fatty.  Bar Bill's almost melts in your mouth whereas Schwabl's you have to tear through the beef and it can be quite chewy.  Personally, I'll take Bar Bill all day every day over Schwabl's.

    I'm one of the few WNY'ers who actually really dislikes Bar Bills "wings".  I think they suck and hate their sauces.  Give me Gabriel's Gate or Duff's in Orchard Park or on Sheridan, and maybe Dick Road (the other Duff's locations suck) any day over Bar Bill. 

    However, I do love Bar Bill for their Beef on Weck which is by far the best I've had and a pretty consistent sandwich every time we stop in.  Has anyone tried the Beef on Weck at Main & Hamlin yet?

    A well deserved loss. Mark this as the beginning of the end of the Beane-McDermott Era. 

    That started and ended at 13 seconds.  Never ever ever should have brought Mr hold everyone accountable but himself back.  The gag order he put on the coaches and players after 13 seconds spoke volumes.    Not firing him then and there was a huge mistake and one that will likely be the turning point in Allen's regression from a Super Bowl track to the ***** show we saw tonight.  The Bills will not win when it matters with this coaching staff.  The sooner McIdiot is gone the better, every game and year in between is just wasting Josh's talent.

    Games like this piss me off. Think this game is going to be indicative of our season. 
     

    McD is done after this season 

    Yet he was extended this off-season. He never should have been brought back after 13 seconds.  McIdiot and Dorsey have neutered our superstar QB into indecision and poor decision making.  Allen looks so lost out there, and one thing is certain, coaching is doing him no favors.

    Really? How can any Bills fan hate the Eagles as much as the Chiefs?

    Philly is the worst most douche fanbase in sports.  I experienced the final game at the old Vet (NFC Championship that Bucs lost to Philthy).  Nothing like seeing parents hand their 10 year old kids their beers to throw at us, or the douchebag in front of us who was just a complete classless A-Hole and also threw beers and other crap at us.  I should add we were not being obnoxious or loud or doing anything to stir trouble in any way, we were just watching the game in 50 yardline seats about 30 rows up wearing Bucs jerseys (my NFC team till Brady showed up... haven't rooted for them since, and won't again till he's gone).  Anyhow, F the dirty birds and their classless dirtbag fans.   I find it impossible to root for any Philthy team. 

    As for Mahomey and the Chiefs, can't stand them either (their fanbase can be over the top obnoxious too).  Pretty tired of them having the easy route to the SB each year with the bye and HFA. 

    As for SB, I won't watch a down since I despise both teams and fan bases.  I'll completely ignore anything to do with it over the next 2 weeks.   Of the 4 teams that played this weekend, the only one I would have pulled for was the Niners.

    I'm on to to the off-season already, just wish we'd see a clearing house of Leslie and the defensive staff at at a minimum... an upgrade at OC and HC would be nice too, but that's not likely to happen.  That said, eyes are finally starting to open to the many gameday mistakes and game-planning weaknesses of McD and his coaching staff.  McD may be a great motivator, and did a great job turning around the culture, however, his defense is vastly overrated, and it's exhausting to listen to him demanding accountability of his players, yet not applying the same standards to himself or his coaching staff.  McD hasn't shown an iota of learning from his mistakes.  Instead of owning up and learning, he hides with no explanation for 13 seconds, terrible game plans,  and his defense completely sucking with crazy soft coverages resulting in the D being a turnstile in the playoffs year end and year out.

    We are in HC purgatory

    When will McDermott ever hold himself to the same accountability that he demands of his players?  13 seconds should have been that moment, but instead he hid behind a say no evil speak no evil mantra.  At what point do the players say if McD doesn't hold himself and his coaches to the same standards as he holds the players, then why the F should they bother listening?  

    Should Sean Payton get a phone call?

    I would 100% make that call.  McD may be a great leader of men, but as a gameday coach he has repeatedly proven he doesn't have what it takes to get them over the top.  McD has reached his ceiling and proven he can't break through it IMO.  Frankly I felt he should have been fired after 13 seconds.  Today was a complete embarrassment of domination in our house.  The Bills came out completely FLAT, and was massively out-coached on both sides of the ball.

    I hate seeing that we're wasting Josh in his prime.

    I am going to need some major help. I am going to be at Disney with the family that day. There is no way I can watch it live.
     

    I can probably avoid media all day. But any ideas on how best to watch a replay later that night? 

     

    (My only thought was subscribing to NFL Gamepass, which I think lets you watch replays after the games are played. Anyone have experience with this?) 

    You don't need Gamepass.  All of the playoff games will be free on the NFL app, as long as you're within the US.

    With the exception of Atlanta, every Super Bowl I've been to I was surrounded by real football fans, mostly for one or the other team.  Don't knock something until you've tried it.  Obviously from a financial standpoint it's better to be home, but for enjoyment of the game nothing beats being there.  

    I agree Atlanta was so corporate and indifferent.  I had seats gifted to us from one of the coaches back then, so we were on the Bills sideline on the 202-25 yardline about 10-15 rows up.  First half when things were going our way, the fans around us were all cheering for the Bills, when Thurman fumbled, they all rooted for the Cowboys. None of them actually cared who won they just wanted to be rooting for the winner as they all turned on a dime with that fumble.  I regretted not selling out tix for for $2+k a piece we were offered before the game, however, with the free tix was the promise to not resell them, thus we stuck with that.

    At my 2nd Super Bowl in San Diego, the crowd was not nearly as indifferent and cheering regardless of whomever scored or did well.  San Diego had a college atmosphere with Bucs fans on one sideline and Raiders on the other.   Fortunately we were seated on the Bucs side, roughly 50 yardline in the higher rows of the upper deck at Qualcomm.  We had an incredible fun section filled with Bucs fans, save 2 Raider fans who were next to us, and they were cool as could be and had a blast with all of us despite the Raiders losing.  Funny story was at halftime a couple of Bucs came up to our sections and asked the Raiders fans if they would be interested in swapping seats to sit with Raiders fans in near identical seats on the Raiders sideline.  They declined as they wanted no part of sitting with Raider Nation after they have made so many friends around them on the Bucs sideline, even though we were all rooting for the Bucs.   They made a smart call, as when things went downhill for the Raiders in the 2nd half, there were numerous fights and brawls among the Raiders fans in those sections.  Instead, they had a blast with a fun group of Bucs fans and mourned the Raiders loss among new friends.

    I agree, the outdoor experience was so much better than a dome, but I think who you're sitting around make's a huge difference in enjoyment.  Avoid the corporate sections in the lower bowl and sit up high with the real fans there to pull for their team!

    I've been to 2 Super Bowls, 1 loss and 1 win.  The loss was the Bills in Atlanta for their 4th consecutive SB against the Cowboys (a game they absolutely should have won but for poor 2nd half play and coaching).  The win was the Bucs over the Raiders in San Diego. The Bucs were my NFC team dating back to their creamsicle days when I'd pull for them as perennial underdogs... my support of the Bucs temporarily stopped the moment Brady signed there, and won't resume till he's gone.  Absolutely hated seeing them win their 2nd SB with him as QB.

    I'm glad I got to experience 2 Super Bowls back before pricing became insanely stupid, just wish I had witnessed the Bills winning instead of the Bucs!  Witnessing a Super Bowl win is so much more exhilarating than the heartache of a loss, compiled by the enormous expenses that just feel wasted at that point.  At this stage of my life, semi-retired at age 54 after 35 years in healthcare administration, no event is going to get that sort or cash outlay for 3-4 hours of entertainment.  I'd go to the host city and enjoy the ambiance, but skip attending the game in person and instead watch it with friends and family or at a bar.  


    Go Bills!

    Field is green and ready to go! Your seats? Well… that’s another thing.. I’ll be watching nestled next to the fireplace, Christmas decor, lit ceramic villages aglow and um.. so am I! I had my time there with seasons thru the Super Bowl years. Divisional Game vs Raiders/East clinching win vs Jets/many other frigid snowing games dating back to War Memorial Stadium. It’s all about comfort and joy now. 
     

    Go Bills!
