  1. Heard the same thing....Not the way to start off the season....WTF
  2. Nothing against you....But who cares what anyone else thinks! But we definitely did not get worse than last year. And we were a play or two away from being 10-6! I dont pay any attention to these writers. 90% of them have no clue about this team whatsoever.
  3. I agree with this totally! Thanks Tyrod.... After reading this I am going to suit up Sunday in my Zumba pants, and my son's old Bills replica helmet and crush someone....anyone...even if the wife crosses my path she is getting drilled! LOL (have fun with that last statement boys)......But in all seriousness I believe Tyrod has never been more ready for anything! Lets get a W so we can blow up Ralph WIL....(damnit I said I wasnt going to do that anymore) New Era Field come Thursday! 500 mile drive from Chicago to Orchard Park is a ton better 1-0!
  4. That is to cool dude. You can tell I love my bills. Ills sit through that weather every day just to do that. That will never change!
  5. Wow what a great experience and what great people in WNY. We arrived around 2:30 pm in Hamburg. Stayed at the Comfort Or Quailty in on southwestern. And then unpacked and drove right to the stadium. First thing that struck me is the stadium is in the middle of a suburban town. (kind like Wrigley without the downtown feel). On the day before I was able to park right behind the Welcome the Ralph sign across the street from abbot rd. (I believe that’s right). I was able to get out and walk around free with no one bothering me at all. Which is weird because I have never been able to do such a thing around other venues. The stadium looked great and got the chills seeing it for the first time what a wonderful experience. I talked to a few passer bays for tips and great info on spots to park. We then went out to the Anchor bar didn’t really do much for me but again great to say we ate at the Original spot the Wing started. Then we went to Niagara and that was wonderful for the wife and me to experience. Beautiful Drive through buffalo and seen all the beautiful buildings and workmanship. The beautiful Green lit bridge at night was a great touch. What a wonderful area and I loved every minute of it! The Rain hampered things a bit for The day But I must give my woman full credit for sticking it out all the way with me. She a trooper! We of course had to pony up the 8 dollars apiece for the bills raincoats. Cool to keep though, (Wanted the 24 dollar white ones that are thicker. They were out)! We then went to the field house where I sat and listened to WGR for a bit and I must admit I loved that part. I listen all the time to the bills radio, 97 rock (yuck) Now WGR has them and I love the and The John Murphy show. So to see Howard Simon and Joey B doing the pre-game was a treat. I then waited for Joey B to come down and I talked to him for a bit. And I swear to God he knew who I was from my accent, He said your Ben from Chicago and you call in all the time! I swear that made my whole day right there! Cool stuff! Game time: Entering the gates was great. Walking to see the Buffalo behind Russerts monument was great! The tunnel walk to the seats still gives me CHILLS. That stadium is freaking awesome. I love it. And I hope to god they don’t build somewhere else. But if they do. I seen it! LOL. That tunnel walk and seeing the Bills Endzone and then the Charging Buffalo Emblem, I cant describe it! I have great videos of the game and I will post . Great video of the Bills Shout song after CJ's 42 yd scamper to the house! Dislikes: The fans who left after half time shame on you! Wasnt packed as I would like. No vomiting or fights of any kind that I seen. But alot of people peeing in bushes, again something I see all the time nothing new! Fouls language all around but I really don’t care! I have a foulmouth and let Bull**it slip a few times on those phantom PI calls. Yes a few were bad! The Huge steps going to the seats! If anyone has been drinking to much who do they ever do it. I stumbled and I was drinking Hot chocolate! Everything else was wonderful. I loved every minute of it and I miss it already! I swear to god I would get season tickets right now, and spend every minute at the ralph, I have seen Chicago literally not kidding 90 something times. Grandfather has season tickets for years! I’ve seen Indy, Tennesee, Cleveland, Cinni. Nothing compared to see the Ralph. I hope to God that team stays there, If they do Im going to be your new neighbor. The area is wonderful (Hamburg) You guys as people are absolutely wonderful, Nice, Tough, Hard Working people and it shows on your sleeve. What brings us together is the passion for that damn football team. Now lets go support them, spend a little money and help that team do something more than 13 years of nothing! I was 19 when the last made the playoffs. Something Good is going to happen soon I feel it. When it does im All in on A full season Package, (besides the ROAD game in Toronto!) Well there it is! Wish I could of found Hammers lot but as soon as game day hit and I see the RV's and fans coming in, I had to park ASAP. Till next time Buffalo. I loved it, SEE YOU SOON< VERY SOON
  6. Who else tailgates in hammers lot. I. For sure am parking there. Is it first come first serve? Can I park there the night before? Just curious! Man all we need is a win on Sunday! Countdown begins at midnight. 1 week and counting!
  7. Thanks. I think I have settled on the Anchor Bar. But I need help on the hotel. How is the Quality Inn In Hamburg? I have the choice of that and the Comfort in Suites Downtown. Comfort in had the TGI Fridays in it so I can drink and not worry about driving or getting busted. But it seems like the Quality INN in Hamburg is closer. Both about the same price. Just need to book by Friday! Any help here on the hotels? Cant help but think of Brady when im doing this! Got the rental car, got the gas, got the tickets! Just need to make mind up about room. Also is the parking in the hammers LOT 25$ or 45$ ive read 2 different prices? I hope I feel as home in buffalo as I think I will. Something is telling me to take my business and start something out there where I can bring some jobs there. I work for The Bills leading sponsor. Our buddy over the border. If all goes well on this trip and I like some property I want to look at, I might be your neighbor! LOL
  8. After your read the article they hope the bills stay a team and win the superbowl. Then no mention of the bills in the article at all. Rest of article is about the Yankees.. from the statement go Yankees... the writer probably has no idea who the bills are. I do agree about beating Indy. We can do it. I think the colts will be stuck on the pats dropping 59.
  9. Yea ill be in the stadium as soon as the gates open. I want to see the stadium and take pics. Im not there to party. Im there to help bring the bills a win. With Pittsburgh losing and colts losing, good things are happening. We better beat Indy, to make this game even more important. Might go to colts game too. Only a hour away!
  10. Thanks man. I seen the anchor bar on Thursday night. They were doing the panning shots there before and after commercials. (Damn jets just scored) im staying at best western in downtown. Looks nice and got a good deal. Il be thinking of brady when I check in...lol. im not worried at all about the crowd. Im gonna be with 65 thous buddies. Some wasted so what. Not like its gonna be the first. I appreciate ur help and will let u know of outcome. How is section 138? That's where we are sitting! I can't wait man... getting there sat afternoon to see outside of stadium and soak it in. Wow great info here. Hope they do stay at that hotel. I already am going to go to wegmans to get some goodies... maybe we can all meet up before the game and share some stories! By the way are cigarettes expensive in that area per pack. Just need to load up before trip. My wife is saying smokes are 8 bucks a pack. Is that true?
  11. Ok so I and my wife are making our first trek to the Ralph! im pumped up and everything is in line. Just a few things before we make our trek (picked jacksonville game for obvious reasons). Just a couple notes: Every stadium in the NFL has rowdy fans. Ive been to Indy, I have been to hundreds of bears games (grandfather season tickets holder since 72). I have been to Cleveland, and Tennessee. Every time I have had opposing fans in my face. I have seen Jimbos jersey in the walkway at Indy, where everyone wiped their feet on the jersey, Picked it up and stuffed it in my backback and kept it till this day unwashed framed in my football room. I live and Die Buffalo Bills football. I feel good so far even though things havent been the best for Wanny and the D. My main point is...... Every NFL city has its issues whether it be littering at tailgating, or excessive drinking it happens everywhere in every sporting event acroos the WORLD. Does it happen more in Buffalo, maybe. Why is everyone pinned on Buffalo being so horrible? Have any of you seen the other NFL stadiums? Im 32 and been Die hard Bills fan in a city where people look at me weird for wearing bills colors to bears home games, I finally get to sit with 70,000 screaming fans at the Ralph! But I will be damned sure I dont get obliterated with alcohol so I can actually remember this experience. My wife is worried! Deaths after games, fights in stands, people puking on each other. I have been escorted to the FAGEN security a few times not for curseing, or pucking on the elderly fan next to me. But for saying Jesus Chri*t in the stands when a flag was thrown on Hester in last years Bears Jets game. The lady in front of me turns around and says, excuse me my lord and me dont need to hear your blasphemy. What! if you wanted God go to church on Sundays. Ok last thing! Where should we eat at on sat night. What is a cool place to eat and chill with fellow Bills fans the night before? Any Chance to see a player somewhere better than another? What lot should we park in? Any pointers would be fine. Im telling you the Pats will beat Indy this Sunday, We will beat Indy on the 25th, which Ill be at and I will be there to see Cj run all over the Jags. We have a chance fellas as weird as this season has gone. We just got a Huge divison win! D looks better! Im pumped, garbage, littering, curseing, alcohol, fights aside. Its a reg Sunday at a NFL venue. Ill just be in the old Rockplie Living my Dream! Thoughts
