    But the Gold Medal for Collingsworth ignorance goes to his commentary on Frank Clark's roughing penalty on Allen.  Collingsworth said that in the morning everyone will be talking about that call and how it changed the game.  If you want to start arguing bad penalties in this game I'm down for that.  That roughing penalty against Clark was a hell of a lot more roughing than Oliver's roughing penalty against Mahomes.  It also was a bigger penalty than the BS holding penalty called on Morse on the play right before Clark's roughing call.  That phantom hold brought back a Josh Allen scramble for a 1st down.

     

    Collingsworth made it sound like that roughing penalty was somehow the turning point in the entire game.  Never mind the Bills defense and special teams coming up with a +4 turnover differential, or a Mahomes Pick Six, or the Bills winning by THREE scores in Arrowhead.  It was all that bogus roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter of the game.  That's why the Bills won.  What a bunch of crap.


    Agree - he didn't say another word about Oliver's very questionable roughing call - complete double standard.

    Wow! I don’t even remember that! We were in such a hurry to get in! Maybe they ran out? LOVE the stadium! Have a LOT of great memories there including some great concerts like the Stones in ‘75. I was a kid, and that was eye opening! It was a big part of my youth. Or Ute as Joe Pesci would say. :)


    It was just a plastic coin (Ralph is cheap)  :)

    For an “Opener”, I’ll go with 1973, the preseason opener vs the (then) Redskins that was also the opener for The Ralph. First game ever in our new home. That one stands out more than anything else, no contest! Traffic was unexpectedly brutal and we were still waiting to get inside as the opening kickoff took place. You could hear the crowd noise build as the ball was kicked…..and then… you could hear with wind leaving the sails as Herb Mulkey returned the kickoff for a touchdown. What a great start…..


    Do you still have the commemorative coin handed out that game?

    Can there be any other answer than 1980 Bills-Dolphins?

     

    89 Dolphins and the 2003 Sam Adams 31-0 beat down of the Patriots are great games but there is nothing to compare to tearing down the goal posts, Fred Smerlas dancing with fans, and the start of a great season.  

    Agree.

    Honorable mention - 1988 home (and season) opener (I was there) ...
    13-10 win over Minnesota Vikings (who were in the NFC Championship prior season).
    Win demonstrated Buffalo was dead serious at making a playoff run!

    I have vague recollection of having a #30 Bills jersey as a kid (Wayne Patrick).  I do not recall if had name on jersey - may have just been the number only and Bills colors.

    Jim Haslett, too.  Grew up in Royalton, I believe?  Met him at a Bills Backers bar about 10 years ago, nice guy.

     

    Anyone who stomps on Terry Bradshaw's head is okay with me! 😀
     

    Quote from The Washington Post:

    "The bad thing is I'm from Pittsburgh and when I was growing up, Jack Lambert and Terry Bradshaw were my idols," Haslett said. "Anybody who has asked me if I did it on purpose, I would say I slipped or something. But the truth is, I knew if they scored again we were never going to beat them. So one of the players accidentally ripped his helmet off, and his head was exposed so I kicked him. It wasn't the best thing to do. My family was getting into fights in the stands. I couldn't go home for a couple off-seasons."

    Where did you get opioid addiction from?  

     

    Fwiw, the reason why I posted that was to exemplify the sad state of affairs with regards to some people refusing to trust the information, experts, and institutions that allow society to exist in the first place.  

    That could be because the information may not be trustworthy or is at minimum at least challengeable.  Sometimes, our institutions fail us - wouldn't be the 1st time and won't be the last.  As citizens in a free society, we have the right (really, a duty) to demand proof and to challenge claims.  Do your own research.

  8. The NFL and its franchises receive millions of dollars per year from the US military: https://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/amount-money-military-gives-nfl.html/

     

    It's such a good promotional opportunity for the military that I don't see the arrangement changing, but I would love to see the US military give the middle finger to the NFL and just end all of their promotional events and affiliations with NFL franchises until such time as the NFL takes a firm stand against protesting the American flag, the anthem and our nation.

     

    I won't be attending or watching any games this season - not until the political BS stops.  Kinda bummed-out about that because the Bills have a promising team this season, but, at least for me, this feels like the right thing to do.  I've been a fan since the late 60's, so maybe a year away will be good while the NFL comes to the realization that they are destroying their own brand.  I'll likely still lurk around here, but not giving my dollars to the NFL in the form of tickets, merchandise or watching their paid television advertising - not this year.
