Hop in the way back machine. I don’t want to watch that whole game but this is enough. Honestly I think my one memory of it was that Micah Hyde got hurt early on and left the game which sucked because it was a revenge game of sorts for him. 
 

 

It's crazy the errors he's fixed. I completely forgot about the superman ball mistakes as far as the 23yd sacks lol did he have any of those last year? Or even the last 2? Seems like aeons ago

I was at that game.  It was a rough one for Bills fans.  Josh was so green and the offense was putrid.

 

I used to work for a firm that was founded in, and has its HQ in Milwaukee.  I spent a lot of time there and became good friends with some guys who live there.  They are great guys and passionate sports fans that love their team, similar to Buffalo folks.  I flew into town and we drove from Milwaukee to Green Bay for the game.  The Lambeau experience was great.  We literally parked in some random guy's back yard and drank beers and ate food in his garage.  We used the bathroom in his house.  We also set up shop in a public park about three doors down from the guys house and grilled brats, ate, drank, etc.  This was all about a block and a half from Lamebau Field.

 

That day, we agreed that when the Packers came to Buffalo, we would all meet there for the game.  They have seen and heard so much about the great gameday experience in Buffalo and want to experience it.  I bought my flight into Buffalo (I live in the southwest now) and my buddies are driving in from Milwaukee.  We are hitting the Sabres game Saturday night and the Bills-Packers on Sunday night.  We're still working on tickets (who isn't - prices are crazy high) and I think the best place to park would be Hammer's Lot for the true Buffalo experience.  It's been many years since I have been there, but I remember well bringing my then-girlfriend and now wife of 15 years to a game and doing shots out of a bowling ball....Any insight (how to get there - coming from the UB North Campus area), what time to get there to get a spot, what it costs, etc. would be greatly appreciated.  Also, and I realize it's a longshot, but any information on tickets would be useful.  We found some on Craigslist, but they looked too good to be true, so we took a pass.  There are 3 of us, which is an odd number and making it harder to find something decent on the resale sites that is with any type of reason.  Looks like $380 for pretty far up in the upper deck is the current best price.

I attended this game. It was ugly..but there were a ton of Blue Jerseys there. Wisconson Fans were great hosts and several told me they liked Bills because of being another small market Great Lakes team with great fans.

 

Highlight was 4Q with game out of reach but Bills driving. A huge guy in a Poslowski Jersey struggled down the Lambeau aisle with a huge Sausage Hero twisting and turning to get to his seat. Bills fumbled right as he reached his seat ensuring the Packer Shutout.

 

Packer fan bellows "Buddy....you came a long way for a Brat and 3 Points "

Everyone in the section cracked up including brat guy.

Josh Allen didn't have a lot of answers that day, mainly because he didn't even know what the questions were 😂

 

I was listening to a sports commentary where the guy mentioned Allen was saying back then that he was calling out protections that did not exist and yelling things like, "block left".

 

His OL was looking back at him like "whaaa?"

 

It has been a roller coaster, Bills Mafia has had his back, and he has indeed come a long way.

Packers fans are very similar to Bills fans, although I think that they are nicer to opposing fans than many Bills fans are.  In addition to that game, I was at one other Bills-Packers preseason game a few years before that one.  Both times were great and the Wisconsin people were awesome.  Hopefully, Bills fans will return the favor to my 2 Wisconsin friends who are meeting me in Buffalo for the game.  They are Bills fans when the Packers are not playing.

 

That game in Green Bay was right after rookie Josh had the big performance in Minnesota when the Bills were such a huge underdog, so I was hoping for a repeat performance.  Unfortunately, it didn't happen that day, but we've had many since then and will have many more for years to come.  It was worth the wait!

Who needs perspective about Josh?


That’s like marrying a supermodel and looking at videos of your old girlfriend

 

honey boo boo wtf GIF

It was the last time he played the packers who he is about to play next week. Interesting perspective for some, it’s ok if you don’t need it

I suspect Allen remembers just how bad he played in that game.  And Allen has a lot of Thurman in him when it comes to such things.  It's going to be a tough night for the Packers in a couple of weeks.

He was a different QB after the injury against Houston…. He really flashed towards the end of that 2018 season… even against the Patriots in week 16 I thought he made some really good throws that his receivers just plain dropped. 

Yep.  Remember the bomb he threw that Foster lost in the sun and it went right through his hands? That would have been an 80 yard TD pass.

My brother always tells the story of the QB on his team when he played center.  He called the audible "BLACK! BLACK! SAME PLAY!"... needless to say it didn't work.

I was there, and this kind of reaffirms my feelings after that game. Seeing it again makes me want to call a hotline of some kind. I hope they don’t put me on hold again!!!

On my son’s freshman team his best friend was the QB because he played QB in little league. When they discovered his center was a girl, the HS ribbing began. It was fierce and relentless! 😂

That was hard to watch. Completely different player. But didn’t have much support. OL was weak and WR were awful. 

 

All hail Wizard Beane!

As did a few in the parking lot, as I recall.

Ouch, that list of offensive linemen hurt my eyes.
