    Fandom is something that's shared.

     

    The game itself is just a product........you can consume that anywhere.

     

    As you get older you realize that the point of going is almost entirely to be among your friends/fellow fans who you go to those games and/or tailgate with.

     

    When you don't go you basically are telling those friends you have more important or better things to do.........which is fine if you do.........but if you are staying home to rake leaves or something then you probably aren't that big of a fan.    That's fine too.  Be you.......just know it goes fast and don't expect those people to keep asking.

     

    Tomorrow is our last tailgate of the year and I won't feel choked up about that at all because the next tailgate will be here in the blink of an eye.........one of the best things about hitting your 30's is after that time flies!

     Your 30's ?

  2. The Braves had decent support. I used to go to games for $4 and a coupon on the milk cartons. Some nights were UB student discounts. The Knox brothers (Sabres) controlled the AUD calendar and froze the Braves out of Friday and Saturday nights. Then John Y Brown pulled his voodoo.

     

    Before the 3 point line; MacAdoo, Randy Smith, Gar Heard, Ernie "no" D, Jim McMillian etc, etc, etc.

     

    I know I'm an old fart but have tried to explain to the Curry/LeBron generation that back in the day you could score 130+ points and lose a game. ?

    Is this considered one of the best chains around in Buffalo for sandwiches/ice cream?  I’ve been there a few times in my life the latest being over the summer.  Was like sensory overload for how good everything looked and tasted 

    For a beef on weck and ice cream in one stop - great deal on Sheridan Drive. Or hit Ted's down the street and then Anderson's.

    If anyone is missing a small, round bills table, please let me know. Someone tossed it into the back of my truck before the game. I found it this evening while unpacking the silver F 150 that was parked near the front of the party zone. Pm me for arrangements to get it returned.

     

    You found your present! It doesn't fit my décor anymore

    I found myself not caring at all that we lost yesterday. I was actually more excited to see Josh Allen's potential. 

     

    Listening to the post game and even reading posts here, it seems most fans wernt THAT upset about it. This is a true re building year. We don't have that much talent at key positions. While I still want this team to win and turn it around this season, I'm fully pre pared for a 3 or 4 win season. 

    The 1985 Bills started 0-6 - finished 2-12 and fielded Vince Ferragamo and Bruce Mathison directed by Kaye Stephenson (0-4) and Hank Bullough (2-12).

    But here was their 1985 Draft

     

    1 1 Bruce Smith *   Defensive end Virginia Tech  
    1 14 Derrick Burroughs  Defensive back Memphis  
    2 29 Mark Traynowicz  Guard Nebraska  
    2 42 Chris Burkett  Wide receiver Jackson State  
    3 57 Frank Reich  Quarterback Maryland  
    3 63 Hal Garner  Linebacker Utah State  
    4 86 Andre Reed *   Wide receiver Kutztown State  
    4 112 Dale Hellestrae  Offensive tackle Southern Methodist  
    5 130 Jimmy Teal  Wide receiver Texas A&M  
    6 141 Mike Hamby  Defensive end Utah State  
    7 169 Ron Pitts  Defensive back UCLA

    Per Meads count ( I've been working my tail off) 21 party 13 general. Looks like ALL who wanted Party will get it as long as they arrive by 7:30am. Sharp

    I think it was Pat Kirwan, co-host of Moving the Chains on NFL XM, that said it takes three years of practice under today CBA to equal what you used to get in a single year. That’s a lot of development and repetition that is lost, especially for the lines. 

     

    Yes, I understand all teams play by these rules, but think about the development of young players that just doesn’t happen anymore. 

     

    Bring back NFL Europe seeing as the powers that be want to combat the Premier League

    Just what we need around here, more bitter, old, over-opinionated white guys!!

     

    Welcome back, gents.

     

    The CBA does mess with a lot of practice, I agree. Although the blame falls on McBeane. They were dealt a bad hand with the Wood and Richie issues, but they also signed guys virtually everyone said were lousy from the start, hired Castillo who is just terrible, made a huge error in Dennison they are still paying for, traded away Glenn, insist on DuCasse, and didn't spend the money or assets necessary to put together a line that wasn't much good last year. That's some serious messin' up.

     

    I'm not sure I'm white anymore - waiting on the genome results. The rest is a given

  8. It’s Been A While – but in light of the Chargers coming back to OP – let’s see

    The LA/SD Chargers have owned the Bills ever since 1960. Their head to head record is 12-24-2

    The Chargers have a 3-7 advantage in the last 10 games. The two teams did not face each other from 1986 through 1998.

    The last Bills home win was a decade ago – October 19, 2008. This was the infamous “Balloon” game. I was in my sports bar in Vista, CA surrounded by the San Diego Faithful (not as many as you might think – Raiders fans are strong there). Then the game powered out. CBS was at a complete loss. Just recently, I had a conversation with the lead electrician from that day – and he just explained the situation as the complete sequence of everything that could go wrong – DID.

    Despite the SOCAL brethren being upset – this was the Bills last win:

    Trent Edwards was 25/30 – 8.7 YPT and 1 TD

    Marshawn Lynch was 19 for 70 (3.68) and one TD

    Lee Evans was 8 for 89 and one TD

    Ryan Lindell contributed 3 FG

    The Chargers were largely ineffectual but Philip Rivers will be in the HOF one day – Jim Kelly never won a Super Bowl either.

    Some fun facts from Bills/Chargers history

    November 20, 1960: The Bills pick off five Jack Kemp passes and cruise to a 32-3 win

    November 11, 1962: The Bills go to 4-0-1 and a 37-0 halftime lead as Jack Kemp sat on the Bills bench.

    December 26, 1964: Chargers ran an 80 yard opening driving and only 99 for the rest of the game. Bills win the AFC Championship Game 20-7. Mike Stratton made the Bills’ most famous hit ever on Keith Lincoln.  Each Buffalo player’s winning share was $2,668.

    December 26, 1995: The Bills win their second AFL Championship game – 23-0 – the Chargers never get past the Bills 24.

    October 5, 1980: Both teams were undefeated – The Bills won 26-24. Jim Hasslet intercepted a Dan Fouts pass and Joe Cribbs scored the winning TD.

    December 6, 1981: The Bills win a defensive struggle 28-27 as they throttle Dan Fouts and Chuck Munice. Steve Freeman and Rufus Bess co-op on a fumble and then Charlie Romes and Mario Clark sealed the deal.

    October 15, 2000: The Bills win 27-24 in OT – the 0-6 Chargers lose on their way to 1-15 season but in the next draft the Chargers draft LaDamian Tomilson and Drew Brees

    Taylor was nothing special at Virginia Tech.  He was a low draft pick and wouldn't have been that if not for his legs.  He was a mediocre quarterback for the Bills.  Eventually you sit when you hold the ball too long, lock on onea receiver, and are not anything special as a passer. 

    And never showed any leadership qualities

    I hear the owner is swell. Also there will be some media (TV cameras) as Pancha Billa  (if you want to meet him do it before the K&M stunt) will be hanging out in Hammers Lot doing interviews. Be Mature. Boring Media whores will be kicked out of the Lot. No refund.

    The owner is a bit of a butthead. Lisa balances out the duo. I hear the new dog is nasty.

     

     

     

     

  11. I request an early in and early out - so front row please. And I'll  walk the dog

    Thanks for the advice but I don’t need any advice. Especially regarding architecture.  For those of you that don’t know I’m the lead architect for Vandelay Industries. 

     

    Whew that was a close one. Planning on Letchworth Friday. Mainly for a tour of East Hill Creamery in Perry. Figured I’d hit Letchworth at the same time.  BTW their cheese looks good.

    Premier Gourmet locations in Buffalo has one of the most complete cheese selections but you don't need that advice.

    Maybe 10 or so years ago I was smoking a cigarette in the entryway to the apartment building I lived in when a thunderstorm rolled thru.  No big deal.

     

    Except this time a few feet away from me i see this blue thing starting to rise up from the ground.  Looked almost like a plant or tree sprouting up in slow motion.  Then the loudest thunderclap I have ever heard, the earth felt like it shook, the air around me was full of static, and that blue thing shot straight up into the sky

     

    Ball lightning - I saw it once when we lived in St. Louis. It exploded like a giant firework. My mother ran outside - thinking I was dead
