zow2 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The only time I can't watch football Live this weekend is between 5:30-8:00pm on Saturday. Go figure! Kids have prearranged activities that cannot be cancelled and we have to drive em around. I'll DVR the game and turn off all my phone notifications so I can watch "live" when i get home.

ROCBillsBeliever Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Woke up at 6 am, today, and working until 8 pm, just to take off in time to catch the game (needed to make up hours). My manager said, "That's a really long shift. Are you sure you want to work it?" Looked her dead in the eye, and said, "This is the second time in twenty years the Bills have made the playoffs... I would freaking BLEED for them. Of course I'll work that long shift. Next question..." I may have taught my manager what a Bills fan is...

Yeah, shooters is pretty solid. I hear ya on the drive to Webster, I hear Hooligans is a good spot too. Basin Pub is ok, but I've had issues with poor service there. Plus if you want a lively environment for a game that is not the place. Being around other happy/angry Bills fans helps with the nerves for me.

Nineforty Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: We are going to be fine now. We were very good last night and we should have got a result against Chelsea too. If we play like that the rest of this year we will plenty of games. Watford and Arsenal had the same problem. Managers who had completely lost their way. Both have people in charge now who have instilled a basic shape and pattern of play and hey presto turns out Arsenal should be a top 6 team and Watford should be mid-table. Which is what both should have been all along. Watford won't go down. You will be fine.. I live North East London about 20 miles from Ware. I always remember from my soccer coaching career an away game at Ware midweek in December one year where we kicked off at 7:45pm and the pitch was fine and by the time we finished at 9.30 it was completely frozen. So cold. Sorry for the randomness of this, but I just saw this quote earlier (casual fan. stateside. don't have a team I follow, I just know from a friend this guy is.... interesting)...

Bmust Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I have to corrale the wife and kid out of my in laws house in time to drive back home (5hrs) prior to kickoff. My in laws are great people but getting out of there to go home is a nightmare and ends up taking 3 hours longer than anticipated. Luckily i chose well and my old lady knows the deal.

Guffalo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 We rented a ski house, it now looks like rain, so we will try for some runs in the AM, if the slopes are a wreck, will just make wings and get ready for 430 kickoff. My wife and daughter are Bills fans with us, the rest are Jets fans, but they will root for us. I expect to abstain from alcohol until after gametime.

Al Czervik Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Its my Mom's bday Saturday, the family was trying to organize everyone going out for dinner but I immediately kiboshed that plan and talked the wife into us hosting. That said, we need to figure out some eats that will go with the tailgate vibes that can also pass as acceptable to serve the fam. My brother's girls will be coming so I need to confine 6 kids under the age of 9 to the basement so we can focus on the game. My attempt at dry January is going to take a hit on the 4th day...I have a pile of PBR's leftover from the holidays in the garage to finish up anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Madness Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I have my boys this weekend (2.5 hour drive to pick them up tomorrow). Saturday begins with maybe rolling out of bed at 11am. Putting on my $17 DHgate Allen jersey over a long sleeve grey bills shirt. Yelling at the teenagers to shower/get dressed so we can leave. Head to mom's across town for brief visit and gifts before racing home in time for the game. Figure out what stream will reliably play the game as my antennae met an raged-fueled and untimely demise around week 3 due to stuttered reception. Once stream is up and running, advise boys that they may dig into the pizza and wings left over from what we will likely order tomorrow night. May give Bella's a try as Leo's have been messing my orders up/forgetting the blue cheese...but I digress... Open a Southern Tier IPA, pour two fingers of Evan Williams and watch the game with my boys. The younger one's interest will wax/wane depending on the flow of the game, but the older one will stick with me for the full game. After the game, the older son will go to his room and game while I prepare to watch the NE/TEN game...with additional IPAs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Usually lounge around and relax on Saturdays, read, play music, hang out, what have you. So I'm sure I'll start with that but by 4:25 I'll probably be on my feet shifting my weight back and forth from one leg to the other while my wife yells, "Would you sit down?! It hasn't even started!" The Bills are the only team I watch where I feel genuine emotion. I've scaled back from my younger days when I was one of those screaming morons who threw stuff whenever bad plays happened. I've learned to temper my expectations. I know I'm more nervous for this game than I was for the Jacksonville game two years ago. For me, the big celebration was just them getting in and finally ending the drought. I remember saying, "I don't give a crap if they lose 45-0, the drought's over and I don't have to hear about it anymore!" I mean, obviously I wanted them to win but I knew I wouldn't be too bummed out if they didn't. This should be a good game. I hope the offense can really get in sync and level up another gear, finish drives with touchdowns, make some big plays, etc. I tend to not worry about the defense as I honestly think they can hang with anyone. 20 is the magic number. In the McBeane era whenever they score 20 or more they're like 19-2. I'd be psyched if I played on a team like that where your defense can say, "Hey, just put up 20 for us and we'll handle the rest."

Captain Caveman Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Wake up in Houston, hopefully go for a swim, workout, get some breakfast and head down to the stadium to latch on to someone's tailgate. Trying to figure out my game attire, I've got the following options lined up, let me know what you think? I heard red or white should be colors of choice since Texans will be wearing Blue, but I don't really have any good white options.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Going with my friends to my brother’s bar. Debating whether to bring the new lady friend around but leaning towards no. I took her out for the NE, spent time explain what the the downs meant and what a first down was ((she was trying), and she ended up celebrating a NE td (she got confused). but it should be a great time either way.
