  1. The Redskins Super Bowl loss.  I taped it on a VHS cassette like we often did back in those days.  I took the cassette outside that same night an threw it against a big tree as hard as I could.  Felt good to smash it into a 100 pieces.  I also never re-watched any parts of the last two KC playoff losses or the Cinci debacle (which i attended).

    A win would be lovely but I think they stomp us into the mud.

     

    I don't think so, but a loss is definitely on the table.  And even if the Bills lose, they will likely start the season 6-1 or 5-2 anyway.

     

    Also, a loss gives Buffalo the revenge factor back in their corner for a potential playoff matchup.  It's tough to beat the top AFC teams twice in the same season as we know from KC.  

  3. The Tush Push is a football play.  It's weird that it would be banned to be honest.  The Bills used it successfully more often than not.  If there were crack back blocks and leg whips, etc.. going on I can see it being banned.  But it's just large men pushing other large men to advance the football.  That's a football play.

  4. There's probably so many awesome flag football players that aren't in the NFL, the USA really could smoke every country with amateurs and college guys. 

     

    Any NFL players would certainly give the event some extra status, but in my opinion wouldn't make the level of play that much higher.

    My younger daughter has never been to a game at Rich, and we want to get to one this year.  Is the best bet to wait for now and let things settle out before buying?

     

    I've tried that in recent years and no, it didn't work out.  It was better to purchase sooner and not have to stress about it.  That's what I did for this coming season.  Now if you're the type to wait until the morning of gameday to see if some people desperately need to unload their tix for cheaper then that might work.  But for me to save $50 or whatever, I'd just rather have the tickets well in advance.

  6. Tickets were very expensive on the secondary market last year too.  They've steadily gone up as the Bills have become a perennial contender.  Fans from all over hear about the tailgates, the Mafia, etc.. and want to experience a game in Buffalo. It's a bucket list kind of thing for opposing fans too.

     

    I thought my best chance to get a decent price was the New Orleans game.. but that's not the case.  It's really the only Sunday afternoon daylight game when the weather is still decent.  There's a big demand despite the opponent not being the greatest or a rival.  I feel like i got a good price paying nearly $500 total for two lower level corner tix.

    I’m hoping for a regular season loss to KC. Reverse the trend. 

     

    Ha, I said the same thing last season.  It's hard to beat the really good teams like KC and Baltimore twice in a season.    And it's equally hard for those teams to beat Buffalo twice in a season.

    Thats pretty amazing. It means on average the Bills only fly 1,200 miles per road game. That’s something like a two hour flight. Nice! 

     

    No travel excuses this year!  i don’t care how many teams they play off their bye weeks 

  9. Maybe it's a little wishful thinking but I watch a lot of Maryland games (that's another story).....and I always thought Prather looked like one of those players that would perform better in the NFL than college football.  Kind of like Dawson Knox in way, just didn't have that many opportunities in college but when his number was called he made the play and looked very smoothe doing it.

  10. I long for the days of haggling with DirecTv over pricing for the upcoming season.  I practically had a script year after year lol.  Now it's just bend over and take the price.

    The whole Cook fiasco is beyond stupid. He's under contract!

    He has few options.

     

    If James is smart, he'll shut up and let his play on the field speak for itself, and then he can get the money thing sorted out after the Bills win the Super Bowl next February. 

     

     

     

    I heard Beane on one of his many interviews recently.  I forget which media this was with but the interviewer was really pressing him on James Cook.  Beane just calmly shut it down and said..."Look, James Cook is our running back.  He's under contract and he will be playing for the Buffalo Bills this season.  There's nothing else to talk about".  

     

    It does not sound like Beane is entertaining all the off the field nonsense that Cook and his team are putting out there.

    Starlight Motel on the Boulevard in Wheatfield can probably squeeze in 4 guests per room if it comes down to it…

     

    Oh yeah, Erie County is littered with flea bag motels.  I’m sure the draftniks from Sheboygan will love it.

  13. Apparently the only cities to bid for the 2027 draft were Washington DC and Denver.   So I'm not really sure what the appetite is for NFL teams/cities to host this event?

     

    I suspect that by 2030,  Buffalo will want to host the draft with the new stadium being the centerpiece.  Being a longtime member of the league, the NFL will throw them a bone.

    Nice here in the DMV that time of year.  Spring has sprung by then.   Big lift for DC, that many people coming in.  Should be fun.  

     

    In all honesty, we all know that the weather in WNY in mid April is mainly dreadful.  To have a big open air event at that time would invite comparisons to the Blizzard of '77.   Please don't.   

     

    The Bills are finally lifting the areas rep , let's not trash it again with a rain soaked, 50 deg 3 day outdoor event.  Just sayin

     

    I've thought the same.  The weather in Buffalo in April sucks.  So much chilly rain flows across Lake Erie, it will be 75 and Sunny in DC and 48 and rainy in WNY on the same day.  I personally don't think every city in the NFL "deserves" the draft.  Green Bay looked nothing special to me,,  they set up a stage in a parking lot, whooopeee.  Keep it in the big cities.
