    ^ Here's the important point. He's out of contract and has been noticeably ineffective since Brown left. Just look at Jets forum. They wanted him 5 weeks ago as a FA receiver, now they want nothing to do with him. 100% this is about perception regarding FA.

    Citing Jets fans as a way to make your point?  Yeah, I’m convinced. 🤣

    Limited supply will likely inflate the prices.

     

     

    I won the lottery for xxv, just had an infant son and couldn’t go. I got $800 apiece for them.

    For XXVIII, I had tickets in the media section. I was offered $1250 each. In hindsight I should have sold them.

    That was the year Small World Travel had a promise for a block of tickets and the guy stiffed them because people were paying double for tickets.

     

    When you expect prices to be low they usually are not. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them go to 3k per ticket.

    Ill stay home.

    I had a Small World trip booked and we went down even though they said the tickets fell through.
     

    We ended up talking to a guy the morning of the game at the hotel where ESPN was broadcasting.  He said some car dealers were giving out tickets downstairs and we might find someone willing to sell.  People were coming up the escalator while we were going down and we were asking if anyone wanted to sell. One couple kind of looked at each other and we knew we had a seller. Followed them upstairs and paid $2500 each for two. 
     

    One the charter home, everyone was pissed because Small World basically abandoned everyone after the first day down there. 
     

    We filed a Class Action lawsuit and I got back about half of my $1300 I paid Small World before they went bankrupt. 
     

    It was so worth it.  The game experience was surreal. But I’m not sure it would be as much fun if there’s a lockdown of some sort.  The night before the game Atlanta was jammed with Bills fans and the Shout Song was being sung in every bar we went to.

    I've never understood the infatuation of this win. Sure, it was exciting, but overall,  the Ravens went 9-7 that season. 

     

    Why are people only drooling over the BuNgLeS, yet none of the other teams that beat the Ravens that season? 

     

    I mean, each loss dealt to the Ravens that season matters just as much as that last minute win by the BuNgLeS. 

    How can you not see the drama?  The Bills win to take care of business. All eyes are on the Ravens game as it will decide if the drought ends.  The players are all together, eyes locked on the TV in the locker room. All of Buffalo watching and seeing a desperate situation. It looks hopeless. 4th and a mile. Dalton looks like he’s going to be sacked and it’s over. Then a miracle!  
    You seriously don’t see the infatuation? It’s exactly why people are fanatical about sports.

    If the bills beat Pitt on Sunday and get to within 1 game of the # 2 seed and 2 games within the #1 seed, could the argument be made that it would be the biggest win in the last 20 years? Beating the top team in the league, and really cementing their place in the AFC Hierarchy? What victories would y'all put ahead of it? 

    Probably Cincinnati beating the Ravens would top this.

    On paper, the Bills are a horrible matchup for the Steelers.

    Horrible for the Steelers?  Why so?  Curious if your take is different from what I’ve been reading.

    I like the sound of this - but, don't understand. Can you share what makes the Bills (other than being darn good) a particularly difficult match up for the Steelers?

    I like the way you think. 🤣

    did we still have Marlin Briscoe then?

    He didn’t show up until the next year. He played QB for the Broncos and beat the Bills on a long bomb to Floyd Little later in the year. 
     

    I remember this Jets game well.  For home games, my father would throw us into the car and go for a drive and listen to the game. Maybe stop at a bar for a couple shots and beers while we got orange pop and pretzels. 
     

    I can remember all the interceptions and TD returns.
