NYGPopgun10 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The line is Bills by 17 right now. As bad as the Fins are, they are starting Fitzmagic. Or will he be turned into Fitztragic by the excellent Buffalo defense? Seventeen is a lot to cover. If Buffalo can get plus three in takeaways, then I say it's possible. However, I think it'll probably be closer than previously expected. Take Dolphins (+17) to cover the spread. Final Score Prediction Dolphins 13 Bills 27 Total points btw is 40.5. ? That could be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't look at prices, It's more of a sarcastic shot at the Miami fans. That place is never full. $70 for nosebleeds in 85 humid degrees? No thanks. Now $6 for nosebleeds in 30 snowy degrees is more doable, lol. Edited October 17, 2019 by Bubba Gump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 12 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: I do because the stadium isn't going to be right downtown. It will likely be between the Cobblestone district and Larkinville. Lots of parking lots spread across the area. It won't be like it is now but a good chunk of people will take their tailgating indoors to the dozens of bars and restaurants nearby. Personally I'd probably do that. Gene McCarthy's one week, Belt Line the next, Swannie House after, and so on. But the red Pinto will find it's spot and the tradition will live on. You nail it right here! There will def. still be parking lot tailgating and LOTS OF IT, there will be entreprenuers our there like Hammer who already own or will own parking lots and make money off tailgaters. And then there will be a vibrant bar tailgate scene, thats how it is in Green Bay (I tailgated in lot there last year AND did a buffet/open bar at a distillery out there, super fun). Dont forget Pressure Drop bro, worth a tailgate stop! Maybe even ballyhoo if they are serving up that mac n cheese pre game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 apologies if duplicated https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bills-confident-not-under-estimating-winless-dolphins-000940992--nfl.html Bills confident but not under-estimating winless Dolphins JOHN WAWROW (AP Sports Writer),The Associated Press ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Bills tight end Lee Smith makes a distinction when it comes to overconfidence and Buffalo preparing to face the winless Miami Dolphins. ''I don't think there can be overconfidence, not to me personally,'' Smith said Wednesday. ''There's a big difference between being overly confident in yourself and under-estimating an opponent. And we sure as hell aren't going to be under-estimating any opponent.'' So long as the Bills (4-1) - off to their best start since Smith's rookie season in 2011 - focus on their preparation and ignore the outside noise of the 0-5 Dolphins and Buffalo being 16+-point favorites, then everything should turn out fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly do get this.... over the last couple years we've tailgated every where from the community college lot right there to the rage lots down below the stadium... are their drunks doing dumb things? sure. are they part of my tailgate or ruining my experience in any manner at all? NOPE. in fact my mom loves coming to the opener with us every year. she doesn't drink one bit. wont even say a curse word. she personally just sits back and laughs at some of the stuff we see around the stadium and always asks for the invite the next season.

I refuse to bring my son to a game until he is 11 because of the drunks. While it’s few and far between virtually every game I’ve seen people like, fight, and do a laundry list of stupidity because they treat the tailgate as an all out bender.

I have no desire to sit down in a restaurant or packed bar like any other weekend out and about. and if they were to team that up with a dome they would lose most of my attendance all together. my son is browns fan. took him when he was 10 a couple years ago to watch them play the bills. set up a tailgate and had a really nice time. I obviously explained to him that if he happened to see any less than stellar behavior that it wasn't to be emulated or commended ... was in the rowdy lot for this years opener didn't witness any fights. in fact it was nothing but people having a good ole time. I think maybe the people bothered so much by this are actively looking for it. i'm not trying to single you out with that comment. just people noticing in general. i'm don't de-railing the thread though. so i'll agree to disagree.

Tailgating will continue even with a stadium downtown. Lot owners are likely already planning for this. It won't be the vast fields of tailgates like you see walking to New Era Field now. It will be smaller lots spread around the city. But a lot of people will go the bar and restaurant route. Others might switch between the two. Some will drive, some will take public transport. Two years in it will be normal and no one will care. This reminds me of the "controversy" when Baltimore discussed building Camden Yards. A lot of locals said the same things. Can't have a stadium downtown. Too much traffic. It'll paralyze the city. (They have two now.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mostly a fear of change, you are right, in two years no one will care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
