  1. While I agree that it may never happen lol...I have to disagree that people would still hold onto Wide Right and No Goal. If anything I think it would be the complete opposite where Buffalo fans would finally have closure and be able to move on from those moments. It is pretty pathetic people still dwell on them with how long it has been now yet also completely understandable because neither team has won a championship yet so there is always that what if.....but if the Bills and Sabres brought home some hardware I absolutely think the majority of fans would be able to leave Wide Right and No Goal behind them.
  2. I called it as soon as they were brought back that the comeback would be brief and wouldn't make it to a second season. As I mentioned in my post earlier, that show was around at the perfect time in it's heyday. Things are just so different nowadays I knew it wouldn't catch on to be a mainstream hit like it was in the 90's.
  3. Now there's a show I haven't thought about in a long time. I used to love watching it back in the day though, it was just perfect for that time period.
  4. I had a miserable hangover that Sunday, watched it from home and the way I felt matched the atmosphere of the game. Will never forget that one...unfortunately
  5. It's funny how that works....the Tremaine posts seem to be a lot different than they were after preseason and Week 1 ?‍♂️
  6. I think Mighty Taco is probably still the most popular WNY chain place, but Anderson's is also right up at the top along with Ted's.
  7. The best part was when Sal called out the guy who was saying the Pegula's should take survey's of former QB's and that Peterman has a pinched nerve on how he was mispronouncing the Pegula's name lol
  8. It's the way the sport has evolved. All coaches are like that nowadays. Long gone are the days of Lombardi, Ditka, Jim Mora, Denny Green, and even our very own Marv Levy. The sport was so much more entertaining when coaches weren't afraid to show emotion and call it like it was but nowadays everybody wants to play it safe.
  9. Fans shouldn't be in that proximity right after a heated ball game where they can record(or even see it themselves for that matter) the emotions and things players are saying immediately after a rough loss. It's a very emotional and passionate game. Things get said in the heat of the moment that are raw human emotion that players would probably like to take back once they have some time to regain composure. Just my opinion.
  10. Never had em before, will have to give them a try sometime
  11. Gotta love Buffalo! Where were the wings from?
  12. If you take Hasek in his prime and put him in Net on the 2006 team we win that Cup hands down! My biggest gripe with the Sabres as an organization was how do you not surround the greatest goalie to ever play the game with a better supporting cast? It was criminal that we couldn't build a better team in the Hasek era and remarkable at the same time he was able to carry the Sabres to a Stanley Cup final. The 05-06 team was definitely a better team all around even though they didn't get as far as the 99 team did. I agree if not for all the injuries to our D down the stretch we most likely get past Carolina and go on to smoke the Oilers in the Finals that year. The 716 was rocking that year in a way I hadn't seen since the Bills Super Bowl runs.
  13. I'd say a reasonable comparison(and I say reasonable because obviously every situation is unique and going to be a little different) is Brett Favre. He had some raw athleticism and a cannon of an arm but he wasn't very polished at all coming out of college. He showed flashes here and there of what he was capable of but he had to really develop his skills before he became a stud. It took a few years but the biggest thing that sticks out to me was he was working with some great offensive minds and the master himself Andy Reid who is doing wonders with Patrick Mahomes in KC. Do we have the right guys in place that can maximize Josh Allen's talents?
  14. Like I said I was just taking a shot without actually looking at any stats when I threw Rodgers name out there, but I had no idea he was that far behind him. What Brees has accomplished in his career is really mind-blowing when you think about it especially because of the way he has gone under the radar due to the huge spotlight on Brady and Manning during his era. I think this record will be pretty safe for a LONG time knowing that Rodgers has no shot chasing it down and there really isn't anybody else out there I can even think of that I would be worried about catching it.
  15. Luck has absolutely no shot at it....the only guy offhand without looking up any stats that I figure would be in the ballpark to break it down the road would be Rodgers?
  16. Some people on here have no ties to WNY and other's might have family ties but never lived in the area or moved away when they were really young. Hockey isn't very big in many parts of the U.S. so I think that's where you are seeing the disconnect. Just my theory. But in Buffalo people are very passionate about the Sabres as well.
  17. I take it your not a local WNYer? The Sabres are big in Buffalo but a lot of people on this board are not locals
  18. Don't worry about getting a deli sandwich. Bring some beer, mingle and make new friends at the tailgate and I'm sure somebody will take care of you with something right off the grill!
  19. No after watching the Green Mile it would appear that would be more of a curse than a blessing. I'm still relatively young and I already hate a lot of things about the modern world. I can't imagine how screwed up things will be in another 50 years from now.
  20. Yeah I'm pretty much going through the same thing this season. I have already come to the conclusion that this will be my last year as a season ticket holder. As I've gotten older I just enjoy watching the games at home more. I am looking forward to re-designing my basement into a full fledged mancave with a ton of Bills stuff hanging all over the walls so it's not that I've lost my passion completely but I just don't have the excitement for the long, exhausting days at the stadium anymore. I'm sure i'll still go to a game here and there and continue my annual tradition of seeing a Bills game on the road every year...but with the low demand for tickets these days my plan of keeping my seasons and being able to sell some games throughout the year has backfired and it makes no sense to keep it going at this point. In life we go through many different era's and it's bittersweet but I recognize my days as a stadium experience guy are coming to an end and I am becoming one of those I just wanna watch the game from my couch guys!
  21. It's been trending this way for the last few years. I can't make it to this weekend's game and I can't give the tickets away. When I got back on the season ticket wagon a couple years ago I figured I would make it to 5-6 games a year and sell some games to recoup some money(not even worried about making a profit but it would be nice to get something for them) but with finances being a little tough these days I am already thinking this might be my last year. I can't afford to constantly eat a full loss when i can't make it to a game.
  22. I follow some Pittsburgh Sports Reporters on Twitter and have been following this situation for the last few years. The Steelers have been underachieving for awhile and alot of things have been building up for the last couple years which has led to them imploding this season. They have enough talent to win a Super Bowl but they have a ton of divas in the locker room and a lot of guys have friction with each other. Steelers fans hate this current team and I've heard alot of comments saying for many of them they have never cared less about the Steelers before. Do some research and you will see. It hasn't been pretty over there regardless of their winning record the last few seasons.
