Bar Charlotte is better than whatever place was in Jacksonville that I'm glad I don't remember but probably should so I can avoid it if I ever go back. PS. Our Applebee's hostess really wants me to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of that friendship, Buffalo always played Detroit the last preseason game. When Ralph passed away, the tradition apparently ended with him. We're playing them in the regular season. Probably why we're not playing them in PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his home, not Buffalo. And the Bills/Lions didn’t “always” play in preseason. Only the past 15-20 years at most. Bills history goes back six decades, though most here would never know it.

Sounds good except we are playing the Bears in both pre and regular season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod gets us at home in Cleveland AJ gets to play the Bengals in the key 3rd preseason game ... and Dalton and Boyd get standing ovations from the Bills crowd. We should make it Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd day at New Era. Cool.... Yeah, for what is an otherwise meaningless exercise (preseason in general), there are some cool storylines. We also get to see the QB Cleveland selects first against whomever the Bills wind up with for a premature "who made the better choice" analysis.

I watch all the bills pre season games just like most of us, but WHO they actually play is irrelevant. I get curious — Cleveland will be a chance to see one of the other rookie QBs, for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) The Detroit games were probably a Ralph thing seeing as he lived in Detroit & was friends with the Ford family they probably made a friendly wager on the game every year just to keep the preseason interesting . This year the NFL put the Panthers, Bengals, & Browns in there to keep the trades & coaching thing as part of the story line for the season on who made out better !!
