No, but I gave 1 of my tickets to 51-3 AFC Championship to my brother in law at the time and he was 1 of only 12 no-shows at that game 🤦‍♂️🤬

My sister divorced his azz soon after! 💯

Was he a Bills fan or somebody that didn't really care?

That would haunt me more than the divorce for years to come

Living in the SF Bay Area, I tried to go to every game when the Bills came out to play the Niners.  I also tried to attend other games on the West coast.

 

Having experienced nothing but losses, I turned down an offer from a fellow Bills fan to attend the infamous no punt game of 1992.   Doh!

As an 11 year old, my brother had gotten me and him tickets to the wildcard game against Houston on 1/3/1993

 

 

unfortunately, I had my appendix removed on 1/1/93

 

so I missed the effing game 

 

 

that would have been my first game …

 

You would have left at halftime.

Obviously we're all disappointed with the state of the team right now heading into the bye week but in the spirit of the Farewell Season at Highmark wanted to start a fun topic as a distraction.

 

Were there any games you kick yourself for not attending now?  I am not talking about games you just wish you could have been at that's a whole different conversation but I'm specifically asking about games where either you had tickets and decided not to go for whatever reason or were offered tickets to go by a buddy or family member and didn't pull the trigger.  What are your stories?  

 

The big one that sticks out to me was the snow globe game against the Colts in 2017.  Season ticket holder that goes to most games but will usually skip 1-3 regular season games every year.  We were still in the drought it was late in the season and I was just anticipating it being a regular crappy weather game and just felt meh about going.  Very early on I realized that it was not going to be a regular crappy weather game but much more an all-time Bills stadium weather game to be at and immediately regretted not going to that one.  I have been at pretty much all of the other insane weather games(post 2000s) that get brought up but as we get ready to say goodbye to Highmark it's a really big regret of mine that I don't have the memory of being in attendance for that one

 

January 20, 1991 - AFC Champion Game vs. the Raiders. I was in Florida and tried like hell to get a flight home. My buddy was holding my ticeket. He went with some lady
