CLTbills Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Normally home... But we'll be in Disney now for the opener (Thanks, Hurricane Dorian) so I'll be walking through the park with my bluetooth headphones on listening to Murph and Eric Wood on the radio broadcast.

notwoz Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I used to go to a local Bills bar in Herndon, Va. But I got tired of the drunks, so now I'm content to watch from the comfort of my recliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were ever there from 2010-2015 or so, I was probably one of those drunks ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Echoing many before me, home is the best if it's an option. If not I hit the DC Bills backers bar, which is now Bar Deco in Chinatown. Menu looks interesting, sad there's no beef on deck but if the wings are better than the last place I'll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, while I can't speak to the atmosphere at home, I assume you have plenty of food and drink available. No? And if you don't have friends, you have family, right?

Golden*Wheels Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 How about this one....if you can't watch the game live, even just a bit of the beginning....do you RECORD it? My buddy does this with football and I am like bro....either the game is still on and you just watch it as soon as you can, or the game is over and you just check the score. I may be an idiot for yelling at my own tv (yes honey, I know they can't hear me) but I'd feel doubly idiotic getting emotional over ***** that already happened. I can't stand recorded sports. Live or GTFO. Gotta have the tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Not "can't" for me, I choose not to go. My favorite place is home with my family, watching a recording with commercials and halftime removed during dinner.

BITE ME Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Prefer home to even the stadium. Bathroom is the killer. You can miss half the game if you need to go to the bathroom. Also the 4pm game (if Bills are on at 1 like they usually are) is more enjoyable than waiting in traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
