  1. There's a Charlie's the Butcher location very close to the airport. I highly recommend their beef on weck. When I visited Buffalo in October with my adult son (his first visit) we ate there just after landing and went back for more just before departing. He also loved their polish sausage.
  2. Yeah, it's the in thing to do these days, talk down the Bills and Allen. Lots of talk on the shows about not knowing if they can "trust" the Bills due to inconsistency. Whatever. Only one thing shuts people up and that's winning. I suspect if we beat New England and win out to take the division, they'll still be talking about the inconsistency during a playoff run too. It's become the media's mantra about the Bills.
  3. Bills - Pats for the lead in the AFC East, next Sunday - just what we wanted! Go Bills!
  4. I want the Bills to be playing NE for 1st place in the AFC East next weekend. Of course, we must take care of business with Carolina first, but we also need to have the Colts beat the Patriots. What Bills fan wouldn't want that? I mean if you are afraid of losing to NE again, do you REALLY think we'd do ok in the playoffs?
  5. Both the defense and the offense stepped up in the second half. We outscored them 24-3. That's poor defense? Sure the first half sucked, but on a long shot we ended up playing Tampa in the Super Bowl, I wouldn't be afraid. We can go toe to toe with them.
  6. I agree, this game is huge. A win will build confidence and a loss will sow self-doubt - at a very critical juncture in the season. Shut up the critics today- Go Bills!
  7. Dr. K I think he was responding to my post just above, where I said "I'm proud of the way our team played. The defense was getting pounded into all night and did not give up. The offense tried valiantly to make something happen in the crazy wind. Yes, there were mistakes - but just one or two breaks going our way instead of theirs and we'd have taken back 1st in the East and been the ones getting the glory." Maybe I'm the only one who's proud, but in my eyes in that game they played with great heart under horrible conditions - conditions that were very heavily stacked against them.
  8. We got beat by 4 points by the league's hottest team. And the sky is falling? New England's strength is their ground game, which the hellacious wind had no effect on. Out strength is the passing game, which the wind definitely impacted. The fact that we lost in those conditions wasn't surprising to me. I'm proud of the way our team played. The defense was getting pounded into all night and did not give up. The offense tried valiantly to make something happen in the crazy wind. Yes, there were mistakes - but just one or two breaks going our way instead of theirs and we'd have taken back 1st in the East and been the ones getting the glory. I just don't get so many saying we were humiliated by the great Patriots - the bottom line is the conditions drastically favored them. You can talk all you want about how horrible we are because we don't have as good of a running game as we all want, but it does not mean we are out of this. That was a really rare crazy windy night, not something I expect to see again any time soon, certainly not in any more of our games this year. I think the Bills will use all this as motivation and give them a nice payback in New England (like they did KC in KC). Go Bills!
  9. We lost by 4 points to the hottest team in the NFL. A team that like us has a great defense. A huge part of their game is the rushing attack - which the horrific wind had no effect on. A huge part of our game is the passing attack - which the wind impacted significantly. When you add that up I'm not surprised by the loss, nor disheartened by it. I thought our defense actually played pretty tough (outside of the one big 60-65 yard run), and I was proud that they did not quit, despite being pounded into all night. Don't lose heart fellow fans - we are not out of this. Go Bills! "Adversity is an opportunity for heroism" - Marv Levy
  10. I thought if we split with NE and end up in a tie with them, (assuming we beat the Jets), we would win the division (due to their loss to Miami). It is division record not conference record, that is used as the tiebreaker for the division.
  11. When players don't take all the steps necessary to protect themselves as much as possible against illness and then miss games because of it, I think the fans and their team mates have a right to be mad about it. I remember when Bruce Smith got the flu and missed the playoff game at Pittsburg after not getting the flu shot that year. What a gut punch! Injuries on the field are not something that can be eradicated, but this type of thing is avoidable.
  12. I hate to say it but I think the Patriots are going to destroy us.
  13. Funny take on the situation... https://deadspin.com/the-afc-is-terrible-and-they-re-leading-us-to-doom-1848045747
  14. The Bucs. I worry that if we beat them in the regular season and then met them in the Super Bowl we'd lose, because the odds of beating them twice in one season are mighty low. We don't have that concern with any of the other NFC contenders. In the AFC, as the weeks go by I'm starting to get concerned about the damn Patriots. Mostly because we have to play them twice, and if we met in the playoffs that would be three times. They seem to be getting stronger and stronger.
  15. I guess the Bills figured, based upon past experience with the Fins, this was an automatic W
  16. Exactly. It says we are afraid we can't beat you in the 5th quarter. Play scared - lose.
  17. stupid call. Kick the damn ball and win in OT. Daboll got greedy.
  18. Frankly, I don't think you beat the Bucs twice in a season. So I'd be quite happy to lose the first one in a squeaker, end up 15-2 with home field, and beat them again about a month and a half later 😄
  19. The rotation worked great last night. At first after seeing KC hold the ball a long time and us scoring much quicker I got the old "crap, they're going to wear us down and by Q4 the D will be spent" concern. NOT! They were looking really fresh even near the end, still swarming. I like a great D even more than a great O, and am loving what I'm seeing from this unit so far - fun to watch!
  20. Wow that SUCKS! Here in Atlanta I've been looking forward to watching the Bills - Chiefs on my man cave big screen TV for weeks (the only Bills game that's aired locally so far), and at the last minute Dish shuts off NBC. Just found out this morning - WTF!!! I guess I'll have to go see if I can get Peacock Premium loaded on the TV. What an unexpected disappointment and pain in the ass! Dish did this BS previously with AMC, then HBO. I understand that they're saying the company that provides the locals is trying to rape them with an outrageous increase in fees, but it looks like Dish's policy in such cases is always the same - we'll play hardball and just shut off the programming to our subscribers, and blame it on "the other side". Me thinks that is not a winning strategy with their customer base.
