I've been playing it pretty cool all day, but I have to say...

I'm getting pretty ***** excited.

Well, I love you, man, but now it's time to let it all go.  It's all emotion now, and logic be damned!

Try the Hippodrome Casino, Leicester Square. They show every game live on a Sunday so might have this game on as well. It’s open 24 hours. 

We’ll, let’s see… the Queen died today. Do you really think that the Bills game will be on TV?

 

Maybe Josh will become the next king! 😂

Tasker and Brown we beating on how long before the announcers made comments about how many bills fans that are there.  It's Mike Tirico covering the pregame and he seems to be behind the bills right now also so I think it will be said a few times.

I hope so!  If there as many as I think, they will HAVE to talk about it; it won't be possible to hide it! 

 

They just said there may be 20,000 out there!  Seems high to me, but we'll find out.

If they muck it up tonight I'm gonna blame all of youse.

It's 17 games, the Bills are going to lose some, and this is a good opponent.  But, I've been thinking about how emotional the Bills are going to be, and about how much McDermott has worked over the past few days to control and focus that emotion.   I don't think the Rams will be able to match that energy, even though they'll celebrate with the Lombardi.  What the Rams did last season is in the past.  The Bills are looking forward.

The game is on Sky Sports. There’s a channel dedicated to NFL. Plus it’s on GamePass as well.

 

King Joshua the First does have a ring to it.

PC or mobile?

 

I’m constantly having issues having pages lead here. 
 

the page “hang” halfway as seen on a progress bar. 
 

 

Yep, what you describe happens exactly to me too. It's slow to load, but once it does, it's normal speed for me on subsequent pages here. I'm on mobile wifi at the gym using Chrome and almost no one else is here. Usually, this site is fast.

 

EDIT: A trick I've used if the site hangs initially is to refresh, and this seems to do the trick.

I just went to set up the recording of the game and I had three options: record the game, record Bills and record Rams. This is new to me. Does this mean you get the Bills commentators for WNY feed or something? I chose to just record the game, but am curious what the other options yield. 

 

Any answers? Should I change it?

Earlier today I was thinking about Ezra Castro a/k/a "Pancho Billa." I'm sorry he can't be with us to savor the excitement.

 

He’s here……

Hope so but we all thought the same thing before the Pittsburgh game and that was at home. This is Rams on the road. Will be tough. Just hope they don't come out flat. Oline should be much better opening day 2022 than it was last year.

All true.  And it's all possible.  It just seems to me that if we're all feeling this, the players are feeling it too.  And they remember Pittsburgh, and how the season ended.   I'm confident, but I've been wrong a lot, too.

My biggest concern is that NBC will break in every 10 minutes for updates on the Queen Elizabeth story. She’s dead, ok? Breaking News….still dead!! 

 

Just be glad she had the grace to not die during the game

Sal was guessing 10-15. 20 really wouldn't be that big of a surprise though.

Just a side note, but I'm pretty sure women just look hotter in Bills' gear.

Those are the only ones that get my likes on the dating apps.

This is as exciting an opening day game for the Bills as I can remember.  Even in the glory days, I don't think the eyes of the nation were as focused on Buffalo.

 

Pretty stoked.  A bit nervous, but it's just week 1.  A loss wouldn't ruin me (though, a non-competitive showing might - don't see that happening, though).

Eric Wood just suggested there are going to be 20,000 or thereabouts out there, maybe.

 

70,000 seats, figure 20,000 are corporate giveaways and not real fans.


So that leaves 50,000 seats for fans, but he suggested 40-45% of that will be Bills mafia.

 

Can't wait!

On the NFL Network they showed Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson talking with Terry Bradshaw & the announcer said All the stars are out tonight, there's The Rock.  She never mentioned Terry Bradshaw.  

Because Bradshaw is just an old bugger getting paid by Fox like a bunch of other old buggers?
