Another Fan Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It seemed per TV it got loud certain times in the 4th quarter but not like 2007 Dallas loud per say. Also, what was the mood of the fans leaving? To me watching on TV in my bedroom 400 miles away I felt like most fans on the forum do today…. Almost like the Bills lost. But I imagine being in person is a totally different feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiamioh Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It was a frustrating game to be at. Crowd had its moments but lots of 🤦🏻♂️. Always good to get a win but it was not the most enjoyable game to be at. Purely speaking on game alone, the night game atmosphere is always fun.

4th&long Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I don’t know why people feel like it was a loss? They were a playoff team last year also. I know they have some injuries and have been playing worse this year. But they were obviously fired up to play for their coach. They have some very good players who get paid too. This is not college ball. It was an ugly win but a win is a win, a loss would have derailed our season. as for the crowd, I know for me there wasn’t much to cheer for. I just wanted them to pull out the win and re group and come back stronger next time. The fans were getting loud for the defensive snaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillenger4 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Seemed really quiet on TV. But then again, we were being shutout by the Tyrod led Giants into the 4th Quarter. Not much to cheer about. I heard one section cheering: "Fire Dorsey..he's a horsey...Fire Dorsey...he's a horsey". So sad. Another section had a Giants fan calling out our plays. Perfect every time. So it became a comedy in that section. Then, on the way out, Bills fans were chanting: "We got lucky, wholly %ucky". worst 4-2 team in the league. Jets are 3-3 with a real D. We need a new OC!

GottaRun Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 For the first time in my memory people in our area did not high five after the first Bills touchdown. I'm sure many of us were questioning booking Monday off work and tailgating in the cold rain only to watch that ****show of an offensive effort, the second crap offensive effort this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Crows was loud, but not energetic. Upper deck on the Bills side people are usually standing and cheering when the Bills are on defense. Most of my section and the ones to my sides were sitting. Crowd not into the game towards half time. We actually left at half, son and newly minted wife worked today.

BuffaloBaumer Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That was the first home game I have missed in probably 7 years and I could not have picked a better one to choose. Between Sunday night, the weather, and the opponent, I just had a bad feeling overall. Something told me this was going to be one of those games and it was going to be decided late in the game. For those who went, thank goodness they ended up winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Yeah, I was wondering that myself. I couldn't tell if the crowd just wasn't into it or the broadcast turned the crowd mic down. The game was pretty boring until towards the end and it was a long morning/day/night so I can see why the crowd was pretty tame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, bills fans don’t have to get drunk all day now, we have a winning team.

Attendance was 70, 515 Couldn't have been that many available... It was also a game where the bills didn't score for three quarters... Easy to take your crowd out Also the bills crowds for night games haven't been as electric as the day games because people get wasted and tired by kickoff It's easier to keep the juice for a 1 PM game than an 830 game...

Franco_92 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) This is the exact kind of game we need the fans to be extra loud for. We are not above the occasional slogging NFL game, nobody is. You can't pout and sit on your hands because we aren't blowing a team out. You have to help seal the deal!

Not illogical There's been plenty of games over 63 years where the Bills fans mercilessly boo their team... You need to give fans something to cheer for at the end of the day... 70,000 people will not stay amped up all night... When it's the third quarter and your offense hasn't even kicked a field goal And they still were making noise on third down But I've seen Bills fans boo their own team plenty of times Edited October 16, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a playoff team last season like we were a playoff team in 2017. Easy schedule, new coaches that had the advantage of the early part of the season with their newness of schemes, etc. Then a late season skid that went into the following season. In short, they benefitted from circumstances last season like we did. That's the only way a team gets in with a 9-7 or worse record. Let's also not forget that Cincy game with the pass from Dalton to Boyd to put us in. Of the five other 9-7 teams that didn't make the playoffs that season we were easily the worst. Same as last season, the only other team with a winning record in the NFC that didn't make the playoffs, was Detroit, which was arguably a better team than the Giants, especially at the end of the season. The Giants won only two of their last 8 games whereas Detroit started off 1-6 but finished 8-2. Daboll's been 4-11 since a hot start last season. His offenses are right where they've always been except when he had Allen on fire for two seasons, on or about DFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - despite their complaints of lack of things to do locally these students choose to go to State University (get in state tuition) as far from home as possible. I went to UB and first year I was in a four person room. Two of roommates were from NYC and Lon G'island and they went to all of the Giants and Jets games. There used to be a bus from the Quadrangle. One person I knew as a Bills fan took the bus and never repeated it. Never asked how they got a bus but there were no buses going to other Bills games.

Many of the students from that area come from wealthy families but the families do not want to spend any more than they need to on college. I heard a number of them tell me that as soon as they got a degree they have a job lined up in family business. Never needed to work to help pay for college as long as they went to a state university. Knew one who had a safe in his room and he paid for everything except school tuition with cash.

I didn't feel like it was a quiet game. The loudest I've ever heard the stadium was the cowboys mnf debacle. The quietest was the Browns 6-3 snoozefest. This was maybe a little quiet for a primetime game but they aren't as rare as they used to be and this wasn't a great game by the Bills. There wasn't a lot to cheer for. It seemed like the giants converted every 3rd down too which in my experience quiets a crowd down quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a good number of Giants fans there. A group of obnoxious Jersey/NY "ladies" and one of their boyfriends sat behind us. The first thing they said when they sat down was what a s**thole the stadium is. They kept saying "I thought Josh Allen was a good quarterback", and cheered when he was taken off the field for observation. It took a lot of self control not to turn around and tell them to STFU (was with my wife and young adult kids).
