What football fan doesn't want to watch the league championship game. Why wouldn't you watch and cheer for the team playing the Pats? Just a reminder...they have lost the Super Bowl previously in the BB/TB era. Are you serious? I have watched every Bills game for the last 27 years. Diehard is a term that fits. I have not watched a single Pats Super Bowl, and actually have only watched probably 2 of the last 10. If the Bills aren't in it I don't really care. I'm done watching football this year as of 4pm last Sunday. I only watched the denver SBs because I wanted to see Peyton get another ring. Maybe I'm not a football fan as much as I am a Bills fan, but I would venture a guess I'm not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks) No, I saw it but had to refresh my memory since it was 12 years ago. There are bad calls made by refs in SB's and not just that particular SB, but I don't think the NFL will favor a team in the SB. In the end, the Seahawks blew it.

BillsFan130 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Were the refs that bad last night? I missed the game luckily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One stopped a Titan drive (phantom PI call on Decker) and the other for a very questionable call claiming the Titans jumped off sides when NE was punting deep in their territory, which ended up giving them a 1st down. 25 minutes ago, billsfan11 said: Were the refs that bad last night? I missed the game luckily See above from the game day thread. There were a couple of phantom calls in the first half that probably took some wind out of Tennessee's sails. They're not a good enough team to recover from this and ended up getting blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the blind can't see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills4everNY Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I prefer WWE over Patriots games. They are both fixed, but at least the WWE is unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's starting to feel like WWF out there. I'm not watching another game with NE in it, which probably means I'm skipping out on the SB. Ill still watch Pitt game tmrw, and NFC games, but I'm done handing that team even one viewer. I doubt it will add up to much, but if you're tired of pre-determined outcomes, everyone should turn these games off. I stopped watching them. It is just better that way.

Last year I had absolutely no desire to watch the patriots win another Super Bowl so some friends and I went to the casino instead. I hadn't missed a Super Bowl since the early 1970's, I even watched one while vacationing in Jamaica. Nothing has changed on that front and we're already planning on the casino this year as well as we're all just sick of the patriots and the BS that goes along with them. If the patriots are in this years Super Bowl expect the ratings to be the lowest so far this century. People are tired of the leagues team.

/dev/null Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I will not watch the AFC title Game I will not watch a New England Super Bowl I might watch a Jacksonville Super Bowl. I'm pretty unenthusiastic about the remaining Super Bowl possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Do I have to turn it on first in order to be able to turn it off? Does it count if I just don't watch it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwnyer Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Rather poke myself in the eye with a stick than to watch any game the cheats are playing in except when playing the Bills. Will be at a SB party but if they are in it I will be drunk and passed out before game begins so I don’t have to Listen to Michaels and Collingworth sucks the cheaters dry Edited January 14, 2018 by Xwnyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got to go to game. Yes, there were bad calls. But the Seahawks also choked. TE Jeremy Stevens who was money that year and a big part of the game plan dropped 4 passes. One on the 3 yard line. That was a really good team that year on both sides of the ball and kicking teams but didn't show it in that game. Disappointing to say the least.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 This league has been fixed, choreographed whatever word you want to use for many years. Certain elite large market teams like the Patriots generate higher revenue and ratings than other teams. The Vikings at home against the darling Cheatriots will work nicely for the NFL. I actually enjoy watching the blatant official favoritism for NE because they don't even try to disguise it anymore. Even the worthless late make up penalties against NE have ended. It's quite comical. Once Brady retires it all ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
