Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I saw that too! But would the Buffalo have to stampede up in the air? Would it have mixed-reality Buffalo Droppings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Many years ago, a real bison was brought to Pilot Field for pregame ceremonies. The amount of phlegm that beast generated makes a computer generated video image that much safer for the first few rows of fan seating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Just think what a stampede would do after hearing that ghastly train whistle blaring thruout the stadium. It'd be pandemonium. They'd all freak out & charge thru the stands. I'm only down for it if we can get rid of the whistle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNootz Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 How about something simpler - like rigging the jumbotrons, screens and audio systems to simulate buffalo running around the stadium? It shouldn't be that difficult, but they can't seem to do it. I'd much rather have that on 3rd down than the train whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't truly "mixed reality," but it was just the Raven animation overlayed onto live video of the stadium, so fans could see it on the jumbotron and in-stadium TVs. I thought maybe fans could see it on their phones through a Ravens app or something. That would be the, albeit small, next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Why not do as they do out at the University of Colorado and get a real bison running around on the field?! That would be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things my wife likes to bring up at inappropriate times is how often I have been targeted by nasty birds. It’s like I’ve got a bullseye on me. She’s quick to launch into the story about the time we were on a cruise and I came out of the water walking up the beach towards a couple thousand fellow cruisers drinking Coco-Loco’s. I don’t know how big that bird was, but he had some issues. One giant lady in particular saw it happen and she stood laughed and and screamed and pointed until the entire beach was in stitches. I turned and went back into the water. That was one of many, but her personal favorite. I have a “special relationship” with the bird community.

They say it’s good luck, so maybe I should buy more lottery tickets. When I die, I know I will have to spend time in Bad Boss Purgatory and here is why. Years back I had a direct report who was late to work one day. He had a big 'ol bald spot on the top of his head, surrounded by long hair and a beard. His story was he stopped by to pay his rent on the way to work, and a big ol' bird doo'ed on his bald head. Ran down into his hair and mouth moss. Had to go back home, shower and change. When I heard the story, I laughed. Bad Boss Purgatory it is for me. Just now, HOUSE said: Do you have any idea what a herd of Buffaloes can do to a stadium ? Its not pretty.....

IslandBillsFan Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Listen folks. If you read the articles it clearly says “this is what was seen on the Jumbotrons.” So if you were in a seat you couldn’t see the “raven.” This is CGI just like you see in the movies. If you want to superimpose Buffalo running through New Era during a game go for it. If you somehow believe this to be “real,” why is there only one image/view. PS- keep the fly overs and the fans screaming in the stands. Screw the digital crap they are trying to feed the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 They need to make Minotaur looking ones for the Bills, not actual Bison since it can't fly around & look as cool. Make it more like a jacked up mascot Billy the Buffalo. Some large, satanic looking monstrosity that starts small and rises from center field holding a football in one hand and a pitchfork with the opponent's mascot on the other, all while roaring & having flames shoot out of his eyes. In other words, a truly terrifying experience that'll make children s*** their pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Poor Sam Darnold. Goes from seeing ghosts to that. We should have stampeding Buffalo's fly in the air before the Jets game. What's the cost of something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleed Bills Blue Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 At the 19 second mark and from 25 seconds until the end of the clip, you can clearly see that no one on the field, sidelines or crowd is looking up to watch it.
