Punching Bag Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 I am just glad they are using a professional driver rather than driving in England where they are likely visiting various pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I am just glad they are using a professional driver rather than driving in England where they are likely visiting various pubs.Plus, if any Bills players drove in England they would probably get flagged for driving on the right side of the road.

yungmack Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Why would anyone use Uber in London of all places. Those are the best cab drvers in the world. They have to go to school for years and commit the streets to memory. I'm told the license test is hellacious. And the cabs are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/buffalo-bills-robert-woods-london-uber-drivers-trash-talk-102115 "We were riding around with a couple Uber drivers who said we were soft because we wear pads," Woods said with a laugh, "So I guess we have to put on a show Sunday." Â Maybe he mistook Woods for Goodwin... Â Why would anyone use Uber in London of all places. Those are the best cab drvers in the world.

It's a great system, although relatively pricey for a subway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Relatively pricey? It is ridiculously pricey compared to systems around the world... but my trusty Victoria line gets me from home to work 5 days a week... you only need cabs in London if you have restricted mobility or it is between 12.30am and about 5am.

Best Player Available Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Woods is soft? Compared to what fox hunters? You know who is soft. percy Harvin! And Ryan's pass rush. Edited October 22, 2015 by Best Player Available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you staying in or near Kensington? i know a couple of Buffalo people on a charter. That's where their at. if so it might not last. OTOH go too sticky fingers for a burger and a pint or 3. Touristy but the owner is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah the base ride price and the zone system make it much more expensive that NYC, which it is the best in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 a common misconception by people that don't know any better. you don't wear pads playing tackle football in your backyard when you are a kid. then you put the pads on and you figure out you can actually hit harder. not to mention the athletes in the US are just a whole other level than anyone in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Woods is soft? Compared to what fox hunters? You know who is soft. percy Harvin! And Ryan's pass rush. Â They compare them to rugby players. Of course, the games are different and the NFL is so much more violent than rugby. The pads contribute to this because NFL players to think they're invincible and do things rugby players would never consider doing. But it doesn't stop the English from thinking NFL players are "soft." Edited October 22, 2015 by MDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVABillsFan Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 what do they know football to them is a game where you don't use your hands and not to mention they fall over and cry when someone bumps into them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills of Boston Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The same thing happened to me in Ireland a few years ago when I went to the Notre Dame/Navy game.. They are painfully unaware how big/fast/strong the guys are. The Ireland cab driver referenced rugby to make his point.. Once I figured out the lbs to stones ratio, I started rattling off some guys like Mario, Patrick Willis etc and he almost drove off the road and apologized for thinking that American football players were soft.
