firedawg Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 This one might actually be on me. I was notified on Thursday that my Uncle had passed away. He was from Mass living in NY and a huge fan of the Boston sports teams. Calling hours were on Saturday with "private services at the families convenience" Well the wife and I went to the calling hours to find out services were to be Sunday at noon. Of course we went (he was a great man and a great uncle) about a half hour into the trip my wife looks at me and says "I can't believe we're going to miss the game" and I say really? that's what you're thinking about right now? I had a plan though.. My Aunt lives 5 minutes from the church and lunch was at her house after services. My cousins, one of my other uncles and I had a Genny Cream in the parking lot of the church in honor of my uncle then off we went to my aunts house for gathering and lunch. On goes the T.V. and the game is on. We were only loosely paying attention as we shared funny stories and I was mingling with my cousins childhood friends and the rest of my family. Boom Bills up 7 zip. I continued to visit thinking "that was quick, we have a chance" After a while my 92 year old grandpa called me into the living room and he says your "Billy's" are in trouble. Things were winding down at that point and we were hitting the road as the Bills were trying to mount the comeback. I had the game on the radio in the car. Got about 10 minutes from home and stopped at the store for beverages and dinner stuff's. Came back to the car and it was over. I felt terrible because I wasn't able to be there for my Bills family but I needed to be there for my family. So in a nutshell it was my fault and I hope you forgive me. RIP Uncle Al. You got me! Prayers Up. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffMuff Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Two things. Didnt wear my jersey and was stacking cord wood, missed the first drive. Watched from the couch until I could take no more in the 3rd/4th, went out and started stacking more wood, had the radio on. Almost instantly, they started scoring again. I stayed outside though, I didnt run in on the last 4th qtr drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I wore my dark jeans to RWS. Everything else was the same. Sorry everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I apologize gents because I did many things wrong. First, I invited a couple Raiders fans to watch the game with me with the Bills Backers of Seattle. One even quietly rooted for the Pats for some incomprehensible reason. Second, I neglected to order my traditional Buffalo Wings until the second half. My wife is actually the one who caught the error and corrected it - and she's from the Philippines. Clearly the gods are angry with me. Edited September 23, 2015 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJDK Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I recently moved and forgot where I put my bills receiving gloves I always wear them through the whole game (except during commercials/ gotta check on fantasy teams). Good news is that I found them later that day so next week is a win fo sho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I am working near Boston for 3 weeks. I also played the shout song for 15 mins straight after our 1st td. I Apologize. It is 100% my fault. I let my emotions and hatred for the pats***** get the best of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 We were live on Sky Sports here in the UK. I have noticed a pattern that we lose when live on Sky. We have now lost our last 4 when they have featured us. Our last win on Sky was the 2012 Thursday Night Football home win over the Dolphins when McKelvin and Thigpen traded return touchdowns. The bad news? We are live this week as well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 This ones on me guys. Last week I wore my rather plain Bills tshirt and throwback standing Buffalo hat. This week I wore my 1988 AFC Champions Bills shirt and no throwback hat. My wife also takes some of the blame as my Bills plain tshirt wasn't washed and dried until after half time, when I promptly switched shirts.

stevewin Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Not one my little pony mention? My son and I blame my wife. Last week the game started to turn in Indys favor as soon as my wife entered the room and we literally shouted her out. We let her watch this week. We took our shirts off midway through the game to no avail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st pete gogolak Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I failed to invent a time machine to travel back in time and kill Brady's great-great grandmother in her sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A friend of mine called me after the Bills opening drive and was over the moon. I told him it was a long game, and I'd seen this movie before. I hate it when I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Billieve Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I still can't figure it out! Sat in my chair, same Watkins Jersey. Wife daughter and son in their spots. Had my same drink. Hung the Bills flags. Had my yellow ref flag and red challenge flags in my pockets. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
