BillsPride12

I couldn't tell ya, as a Buffalo sports fan I haven't spent much time pondering over this

Atmosphere was fun and electric, a nice change of pace from the regular Sunday afternoon routine. I forgot how much fun night games can be, they almost have a rock concert element to them. With that I said I would agree that it wasn't on the level of the Dallas game in 07 which was to be expected with the state of the team and the fact that we didn't go quite as long since our last Monday Night game as it was when we got the Dallas game. There seemed to be an extra buzz throughout the air in the tailgating lots. Atmosphere for Thurman's jersey retirement was excellent. All in all it was a fun game to go to and I'm glad I got to make it because as I'm slowly turning into an old fart and losing my lust to party lol if we go another 10 years before getting another Monday Night game I don't know if I will be in attendance. So I just tried to soak everything in because last night was another reminder of what a special place New Era Field can be.

Haha that's great, even though it's a simple story as a retro fan and nostalgia junkie I love hearing random stories like that

Not shocking to me at all but interesting stuff. I've always said it would be amazing if a tell-all behind the scenes book ever came out about the Super Bowl era Bills off the field life but I feel like the Bills have tried distancing themselves from that stuff as much as they can. I've heard alot of them admit on record that they went pretty hard but none of them every discuss any details. I read the book about the 90's Cowboys "Boys Will Be Boys"(at least I think that's what it was called) and it was pretty wild stuff. Also in the Brett Favre book "Gunslinger" it got into some details of how he lived off the field back in his day and he was another maniac.

Those Bills teams would honestly rank right up there as one of the hardest partying pro sports teams of all time. I don't think the younger generation realizes how wild those guys were.

Hell of a win, Go Sabres!

The problem is he isn't talented enough or hasn't shown anything yet in the NFL where he can get away with this kind of stuff. For one it was a different time when guys like Jim and Brett Favre were running wild but they also were good enough to have people look the other way. This is a very bad look for a kid who was already on a short leash and running out of "second chances"

This guy was Oozing Machismo back in the day

I still enjoy the camaraderie with fellow Bills fans even though we've been in a constant state of mourning for almost 20 years now. But yeah the connections and bonds I have with other die-hard Bills fans make it a fun past-time right now while the actual product isn't a fun past time at all.

Gotta admit it will be tough sitting through the rest of this season if things continue to be this bad. Going into today I was actually excited to watch our defense play, but they were just as bad as our offense. I will continue to watch every game this season because I'll always watch win or lose but as a season ticket holder there is no way I see myself going to the rest of the games and I am seriously considering dropping my seasons after this year. It is really becoming a chore to watch the Bills instead of a passion and that just breaks my heart.

Terrible post. 80% of this board probably doesn't even live in WNY currently so you lost all credibility with your first sentence.

Yeah that's crazy, the Bills-Patriots game feels like it's been 7 years ago but I'm finding it hard to believe the B&B reboot was that long ago but it's funny how your mind can play tricks on you. Yeah I was excited for it too, and I liked the episodes I caught but I didn't watch it religiously unfortunately because I just had too much going on at the time. I think there's probably some truth to that about the younger generations. Beavis and Butthead didn't really run in syndication much at all, and you have to think about all the cartoon shows still around or ones that came out after B&B The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park. There is a whole generation out there that didn't grow up on Beavis and Butthead and the majority of people from our generation are busy raising families and working two jobs to make ends meat right now. To me Beavis and Butthead is a classic case of you had to have experienced it in its heyday to really get it, so I can see why the younger generation didn't get hooked.

I'm honestly not sure what the numbers were but I just remember there not being a very strong buzz about it when it came back, I just think way too much time had gone by and people had moved on to other things. Just my opinion. Wow that was 2011 when they came back? I thought it was only 2-3 years ago. It's crazy how fast time flies by these days!

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.

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.

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.

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

It's funny how that works....the Tremaine posts seem to be a lot different than they were after preseason and Week 1 ?‍♂️

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.

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

Man I wish I was listening...priceless moment!

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.

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.
