Not to hijack this thread but we will be in Buffalo for the first time ever for the Vikings game. Really only have Saturday and then Sunday after the game to experience Buffalo. Looking for a good place to catch some college football and eat wings on Saturday. I've heard Bar Bill, Duff's or Gabriel's Gate, are any of these good places to sit for a few hours with TV's/various games on? Thanks for any insight.

I'm assuming Tre White will be back for this game? What a matchup that could be with Jefferson / Thielen. Run D needs to get back to early season form. Hoping Milano and maybe Poyer back? That would make a big difference. I think offense will rebound, we have so much talent on that side of the ball. This will be my first ever Bills home game I attend, so it will be a win! Weather forecast looks lovely by the way....

Thanks, that is our worry. Since we are flying in from different parts of the country, we don't want to risk not getting decent seats. Just shocked at the prices, I went to the Jacksonville game last year and could have high-fived the players and paid $150 per seat.

Looking for some advice on this topic: I have been a Bills fan for almost 40 years and now my friend and I are going to our first ever Bills home game vs the Vikings (and first ever trip to the city of Buffalo). Ticket prices seem absolutely insane to me, as this is our first home Bills game, we really do want to get lower bowl seats if possible. As some have indicated, $400+ seems to be the going rate with all the fees, any chance the price will go down or do we need to bite the bullet? Or are there other ticket sites I should check? We already have flights/hotel so this is game (Vikings) is our only option. Thanks for any advice! GO BILLS!

This seems like one of those games where the Bills come out ready to play, mad at the world and everything just falls into place and they pull out a win against one of the top teams in the NFL. Of course it's more likely one of those games where the Bills come out unprepared, undisciplined, outmuscled and outcoached throughout. I'll go with 34 - 9 Cards win, hope I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, Jets win 24 - 6. Tyrod looked lost out there against Baltimore and Jets D is much better. I thought our D played reasonably well considering how weak we are at linebacker and safety. I think we are bottom 5 in the league in terms of roster depth, cannot afford anymore injuries or suspensions.

I think TuneIn Premium now offers live NFL play-by-play for the games. It's around $8/month. There is a 7 day free trial available.

Is this only for the preseason?

If anyone has an extra code they are not using to give away or sell, please PM me. I am in FL and was planning on paying for TuneIn Premium to get the live radio feed, but it would also be nice to be able to watch the games after the fact - well at least the wins.

Thanks for everything #22! What a classy guy and always seemed to gain positive yards even behind horrible offensive lines. I'm so disappointed he never tasted the playoffs with us. That being said, this can be seen as a good sign, this team actually has enough RB depth to cut a guy like Fred Jackson. Personally, I was hoping he would be our Jerome Bettis-type guy to get the tough yards, 3rd-down outlet and blitz pickup. However, he did look slow on his run on Saturday and there is just so much talent at RB on this team this year.

Maybe they want to pick up Thad Lewis....he did beat them twice last season.

Love the optimism some of you are showing, but let's look at the facts: - New Coaches - New System - Rookie QB - Rookie LB calling the defensive plays - Very inexperienced LB and DB corps overall going against arguably - Top Coach of the last decade - Top QB of the last decade - Strong running game we have not been able to stop - Very strong DTs and LBs for NE. I predict 45 - 19 for the Patsies, busy day for Carpenter (4 FGs) and probably a TD from Special Teams. I think we will see tons of three and outs, putting our defense on the field an awful lot and getting tired early. I'd be happy if we see some positive play from Manuel and I'd rather have him take his licks early on in the season against a team we probably wouldn't beat anyway. Also hoping for the secondary to prove me wrong, but they are my biggest worry right now.

Trying that this year, too. Hopefully, it is as straightforward as it appears and allows watching on tablet or maybe even PS3? Amazon still has preorders available.

I'm shocked by all the votes for Manuel, living in FL and having watched more of his games than any other of the QBs, I can say this would be a horrible decision. He has had "potential" since he arrived at FSU and never has lived up to the expectations. I don't think he has the ability to process information quickly enough and I don't think this coaching staff wants a QB who will need at least 3 years to POSSIBLY develop into a starting QB. I would rather see Landry Jones in the 3rd if we want someone to develop. I would be most comfortable with Barkley if we must pick a QB at 8.

I imagine it will be B. Scott as you mentioned on obvious passing downs, and looking at the other options probably the best suited. I don't think whoever is covering him will get too much help from the safeties what with them probably also having to account for Driver/Jennings. Either way, I predict Finley will have a huge game, as most elite TE's usually do against us.
