Tenhigh Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Was it me or was something off with the Pinto Ron/Kenny ketchup and mustard show yesterday? It was great seeing Stevie but overall it seemed like an extended advertisement for a podcast instead of the usual pre-game pump up session. Feels like it was WAY longer than usual, but maybe I was just a little more sober this time around. Anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the game in Cape Town, thousands of miles away, and I just couldn't get into it the way I normally do. When they went down in the second half I couldn't get myself that worked up about whether they would lose or win. And I NEVER feel like that. Happy they won, and there were some fun plays, but I can't remember ever feeling so foggy about what was actually a pretty good game, let alone the home opener for an undefeated Bills team.

The Bills were flat at that point and it really felt like the game was slipping away. It was a good but odd day overall at the stadium yesterday - traffic was bad, early, lines were slow, the dude at the register in our concession didn’t have a clue but...... we won!

(I kid I kid, just curious) hard to pinpoint, think maybe the actual events just could not live up to the expectation? And sounds weird, but maybe it was because most of us felt we were playing an inferior team and win was expected, loss would have been horrendous! also , i tried to do to much at my tailgate, all my food sucked except the wings post game. The audio at the game in the lower bowl sucked..could not hear a word of the poncho ceremony..could not even herarthe shout spng! next week back to normal i think 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it got a bit quiet in the 3rd, but the first/second was rocking. You just didn't notice it that much because the defense was playing so well they weren't on the field that much in the 1st half for it to get loud a lot. But when they were, it was loud. And the 4th quarter was some of the loudest I've ever heard there. Edited September 23, 2019 by Mark80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have to say I wasnt as into it as I usually am. I think part of it felt like a letdown because the Bills seemed like they were getting ready to roll the Bengals and it just kind of never happened. No way should Cinci have been in that game late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad (who was a HUGE Bills fan who'd scream at the TV every week) would have been proud of how loud I was screaming when Tre picked off that last pass to seal the game. Haha.

Last two minutes wa the only time that felt like a true Bills game I said the same thing - I think it was the way the TV timeouts fell along with some penalties. Every time there'd start to be momentum, there was a stoppage. It just never seemed like the game got into a flow until the fourth quarter. That and the sound system at the stadium was terrible yesterday (guessing the wind was impacting it) and the jumbo-screens on the tunnel end never showed the replays. I also blame the high powered extreme dog stunt show for sucking all of the energy out of the crowd at halftime. There's only so many cheers fans can give... and those dogs took more than their share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I know I’ll get slapped for this, BUT..... who cares about the stupid ketchup and mustard show?!? I mean it’s cool to watch like once a year because it’s been classic in the past. But in actuality, once you’ve seen it once, you’ve seen it. It always ends the same way. It’s usually the same fat drunk idiots on top of the van doing the squirting. Usually with some random slut they promised they would allow them to do some squirting, as long as they.... did some squirting the night before. Its kind of old isn’t it? The “Bills Mafia” started out kind of cool and made you feel good to be a fan of the team, and now it’s just a embarrassing. At least most of the time. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's not just you. I'm not a regular in the Hammer lot but I try to stop by a few times a season for some bowling ball shots and to catch the Ketchup and Mustard thing once in awhile. But they really dragged on the pre ceremony yesterday and a lot of people in the crowd were getting restless and starting to complain. I agree that I think the Ketchup and Mustard thing is starting to jump the shark. With that said nothing but love and respect for the Pinto Man's tailgate party though.

We were parked one row away from them, directly across at Pole 5 for years so we saw it every week.........and we used to throw the unconsumed donuts or burger rolls at the people spraying the ketchup on the roof. Nothing that would hurt anyone(some others would throw snowballs) but it added some degree of difficulty to the ceremony. Somebody got a lucky shot and hit Kim in the forehead with a donut hole and afterward she came over and picked up a small stone and threw it at me because she was already mad at me for an unrelated Kimmy prank and assumed I'd done it.........I had my back turned talking to Cigar Mark and there was a "tink" sound and Mark was like......."I think something hit my eyeglass lens". Dat girl be crazy.? My best ceremony related story really.

Just Jack Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Maybe if they went back to the original intent of the ceremony, to get ketchup on the burger without hitting Ken. I’d go watch again for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
