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.

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?
-
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 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!

12/17/22 Week 15 Gameday Bills vs Dolphins PreGame Thread
Preds replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ditto to pretty much all of the above! -
Just FIRE Forsey now. WTF
-
This has to be Tre's worst game as a pro. He's been BRUTALLY bad today.
-
Such poor tackeling.
-
All the resources we put into ST, and they still SUCK.
-
Not for nothing but our CB's flat out suck (including Tre at this point). Aside from Poyer, then entire secondary leaves a lot to be desired at the moment.

this defense is so overrated -
Diggs caught complaining to McDermott on broadcast
Preds replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
I 100% agree with this post, particularly the bolded part. -
Look closer, there's what looks like player tunnels on each sideline.
-
Pretty unimpressed by these 2 renderings. they don't reveal much and if anything create more WTF type questions with so little info released. For starters, a top down view would give a much better perspective on the canopy coverage, the 2nd pic doesn't imply even 25% coverage IMO, much less 65. Also what's going on in the endzone underneath the videoboard? Is that the standing room only section they previously mentioned? I mean I guess it's sorta cool to have SRO at field level for the aerial visuals and player interaction, but standing to watch a game from there will suck. Next, why does it appear that they plan to have wide open wind tunnel above the end-zone just beneath the canopy, and why have you tilted the relatively small videoboard? Like seriously, major WTF to me. IMO all of that space should be one giant videoboard like virtually every other modern stadium has. Also looks like 4 giant tunnels in each corner that go all the way up to to the upper deck. Not understanding why they need such elevation from all 4 tunnels. I would hope they could give some better renderings, overall the first release is disappointing at best. they really create more questions and provide few answers on where our $850 million is going.

I Watched SB 28 In Full Last Night, Thoughts & Analysis
Preds replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was at that SB and had seats on the Bills sideline about 15 rows up from the 25-30 yardline (seats were gifted from a member of the Bills coaching staff to one of my co-workers at the time). The most maddening thing was watching Thurman after that fumble sit on the bench in front of us for almost the entire 3rd quarter sulking with his head in his hands. Not a single player or coach came to him during that time. They just left him be, which was infuriating as he was our best player on offense (sorry Kelly fans) and the previous 3 SB losses and that key fumble clearly got in his head and subsequently the rest of the team's heads. Coaches and players should have been lifting him him and getting him emotionally back in the game. Instead they left him to sulk. I blame Levy and the staff for that SB loss more. The Bills were the better team that year, until the failures of the past ate away at their confidence and their best player on offense took himself out of the game almost the entire 3rd quarter (not 100% on how long he sat out, but my memory was that he sat most of it). SBXXV and XXVIII should have been W's, instead, they failed themselves and lost games they should have won and were the better team. Thurman was at the time, and remains today one of my favorite Bills of all time. Just wish his coaches teammates would have lifted him up when he need it most.
