Friend wants to go to a home game..... I ask why?

[Billsfan1972]

Give me a compelling argument.

 

I come down 2X's/yr on average and of my group am the only "fan" watching the Bills religiously and on sites like this.

 

Yes it means a 3 hour drive with the border to cross and my friend states it is a tradition.

 

I told him there is no way I am wasting 12 hours on Sunday (3 infront of the TV is plenty) to watch this team.  It is not the losing, it is fielding a product that has been so unwatchable on Offense and absolutely no fun.

 

When was the last fun game they played?  Not talking blowing out Minny (boring as heck after the first 20 minutes) or Arizona or Oakland where the Bills actrually won by double digits.  Maybe the OT loss to Miami Xmas 2016 (and they gave that one away)?

 

I guess if Allen is back this week or after the bye and plays well, but otherwise ss there a reason to pay money and support the Bills as they are right now? 

[Mr. WEO]

So you're asking for a friend?

[Billsfan1972]

Just now, Mr. WEO said:

Nope asking me to go as we go as a group of 4-5.

[BillsFan130]

1. Get hammered

2. Watch Josh Allen

 

Only 2 reasons I can think of at this point

[CodeMonkey]

Tailgating is always fun no matter how the game itself is.  Otherwise I've got nothing.  But I don't even usually spend the 3 hours to watch live, I have it record then strip out commercials to watch in 90 minutes or less usually over dinner.

Fixed. This is my plan for the Jax game.

I'm not trying to be a debbie downer here but if you have to find excuses to go to a football game where we have one of the most entertaining tailgating scenes on the planet, just going for the atmosphere, to see Josh Allen progress or because you're just a fan than maybe you aren't into this team or football in general  as much as you used to be .

3) Watch Josh Allen get hammered. There’s a certain synchronicity there.

I'm in my 50's......  I like tailgating, but much rather do it in 70 degree weather then shivering and battling traffic.

 

Oh and would like to see a watchable football game too.....

[Rigotz]

It's pretty easy.

 

- being surrounded by people that love the same thing as you.

- dedicating an entire day to the football experience.

- drinking outside and hanging with your friends.

- supporting a team when they're bad so you can wear it as a badge of honor when they're good.

 

You should be able to have a good time at the game no matter how bad the actual team is. I always do.

[Stank_Nasty]

if it was that long of a drive i'd have a hard time taking the trip to a game unless I got a hotel.

 

that being said its only 90 min for me and I enjoy all the festivities so i'll still be making a trip or 2 to finish out the season. attending the actual game will really just be a formality 

[Hurricane]

I would save my cash and watch it on tv..  Especially with Christmas coming up and all that....

The flaming tables will keep you warm my friend. 

 

Yeah it would be nice to see a competitive game from them. If Allen is in I'd say it will be as I don't recall us getting a blowout loss with Allen at QB unless I'm mistaken?

[plenzmd1]

3-hour drive...thats all??

 

I am driving 8 for the Jacksonville game  reason why

 

1) Get tto hang with family and friends all day..yep you could do that whenever ya want, but you dont. So this is the excuse we all need

2) I get free stromboli @Hammered a Lot ..and @ Mondy nighter even had road kill beaver chile courtesy of our resident hillbilly @CountryCletus Food is always great @ the TBD tailgate. Beef on weck sliders at the Jacksonville game courtesy of @seasons 1992

3)  Get to scream obscenities at Doug Marrone for 3 hours! ( just kidding, but beating him would be glorious)

4) Beer and potty lines will be short

5) get in cheap if you don't already have tickets

6) wings in the lot after if weather decent are the best you have ever had..fried up by, you guessed it..yours truly!!!

 

[JimS]

Because you're a Bills fan! That's why I go. ?

?

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

I live in buffalo and a couple of my friends are jets fans so that's probably the only other game i'm planning to attend.  Figure make a pot of chili to top my eggs and freeze my ass off.  We both stink too so maybe it'll be a good game?

Only 2 reasons I can think of at this point

1) agreed

 

2) get so hammered you talk yourself into 80 yards passing for Allen is a step in the right direction

 

3) as much as I hate watching this team, nothing compare to watching the Bills and the season is almost over

It really does suck that the season is almost done. It goes by so fast. Such a wasted year unfortunately

The tailgate is all that matters. Football has been dead around here for over 20 years and I still have not missed a game

[Another Fan]

I couldn’t make out if it’s the first the Bills game your friend is going too.  That’s always exciting on its own merit regardless of how the team is

Been going for years and he claims it is a tradition.  Would be a December game in any case.

[tbarg12]

I'm flying from Dallas to Buffalo for the Dec 9th game against the Jets, mainly because:

 

1. It will be my first game in Buffalo

2. Going for the experience of the atmosphere

3. Hanging with family

4. Watching Josh Allen hopefully 

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

For some people 

 

Just for the experience of it is enough

You’re like my spirit animal. I’m flying up from Louisiana for the same game and same exact reasons except #3. I’m as fired up as ever to go to a home game regardless of how bad we are now.

[Captain Hindsight]

Tailgating is the main reason I go. The game is just gravy

[John from Riverside]

So you can say you saw the bills on the ground floor before they took off the following season

[row_33]

at a crappy game with friends is still better than alone at home on the couch watching

 

 

[Dave in Avon Lake now]

I remember the days in the late 70's when the Bills were mostly unwatchable, but the fans were always great.  I know the lack of TDs or even FGs is tough, but every now and then the team might surprise.  Maybe this is the week Peterman plays out of his mind and Bills are competitive.  Maybe game will be full of turnovers going our way.  As a battle-scarred Bills fan, I've learned not to be too optimistic and enjoy the games.  Now that I live far away, I even DVR the games so I can skip the bad parts for that one bit of good.  Go and have fun!  At least it isn't snowing yet.

cause your friend wants to go? it's not that big of a deal either way...

[MJS]

I would suggest you don't go. You obviously don't want to. Why should we try to convince you?

 

People like going to games and seeing the team regardless of winning or losing. If that's not you, nobody cares.

Where else besides New Era Stadium can you drop a deuce in public, while the Bills follow suit on the field, and you never even have to leave your seat?

I flew up from Raleigh for the Monday night game, will be at the Jets game Dec 9th , and The Miami game Dec 30th . Why because its the Bills and I'm rooting for them to step up. I'm 62 so yes I've seen a lot more bad games than good , but you never know till the game is over.

[mead107]

Only reason to go is - it’s the Bills and they are your team. 

You could be the good luck charm. 

[TPS]

I'm looking forward to the Jags game and seeing Allen in person.  The last time I saw the Jags at Bills was 20 years ago and got to witness the "Flutie Leap."  I'm hopeful that there will be some late game heroics from Allen in this one....
